1 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
3 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
4 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
5 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
7 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
8 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
9 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
10 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
11 have been created via separate step.
13 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
14 information about an external journal device.
16 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
18 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
19 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
20 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
21 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
22 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
23 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
24 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
25 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
27 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
29 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
30 stdout after printing in-progress message.
31 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
32 the mount status of the device.
34 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
36 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
37 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
38 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
39 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
40 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
42 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
45 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
47 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
49 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
50 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
51 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
53 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
55 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
58 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
59 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
62 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
64 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
65 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
67 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
69 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
70 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
71 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
72 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
74 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
75 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
76 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
78 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
79 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
81 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
83 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
84 struct ext2_super_block.
86 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
87 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
88 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
89 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
90 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
91 using our own version now).
93 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
95 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
96 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
97 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
98 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
99 the parallel_root option.
101 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
104 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
105 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
107 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
108 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
109 support for the journaled data flag.
111 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
113 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
115 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
117 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
118 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
120 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
122 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
125 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
126 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
127 instead of core dumping.
129 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
131 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
132 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
133 journal creation routines for this purpose.
135 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
136 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
138 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
139 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
141 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
143 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
144 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
147 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
148 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
150 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
152 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
154 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
155 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
158 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
159 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
160 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
161 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
164 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
165 group names to uid's before storing them in the
166 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
168 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
170 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
171 option=argument style options, and add support for
172 creating filesystems with external journals.
174 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
176 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
178 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
179 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
181 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
183 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
184 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
187 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
190 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
191 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
194 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
195 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
198 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
200 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
203 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
205 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
206 systems with four IDE interfaces.
208 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
210 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
213 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
214 the inode table location in non-hex format.
216 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
218 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
219 we can't find the device using the name given by
220 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
221 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
223 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
225 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
226 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
227 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
229 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
231 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
233 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
235 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
236 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
238 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
240 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
241 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
243 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
245 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
247 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
249 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
250 are mutually exclusive.
252 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
253 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
254 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
257 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
258 variable before going into the write verification loop.
259 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
260 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
261 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
262 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
263 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
264 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
267 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
268 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
269 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
270 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
273 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
275 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
276 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
277 the progress bar display logic.
279 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
280 max_mount_count is negative.
282 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
283 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
286 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
287 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
288 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
289 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
290 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
291 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
293 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
294 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
295 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
297 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
298 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
299 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
302 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
303 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
306 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
308 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
309 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
310 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
311 old, overly complicated logic.
312 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
313 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
314 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
316 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
318 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
319 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
320 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
321 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
323 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
325 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
326 or LABEL= specification is given.
328 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
329 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
330 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
331 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
332 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
333 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
335 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
336 proceed_question that was busted due to the
337 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
338 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
339 cleared of the previous question's newline.
341 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
343 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
346 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
348 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
349 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
350 manually define optarg and optind.
352 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
355 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
356 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
357 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
358 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
360 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
361 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
363 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
365 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
368 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
370 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
372 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
374 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
375 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
377 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
378 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
379 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
380 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
383 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
384 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
385 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
387 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
389 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
390 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
391 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
392 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
393 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
395 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
396 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
397 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
398 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
399 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
400 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
402 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
404 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
406 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
407 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
408 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
409 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
410 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
412 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
413 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
415 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
417 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
419 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
420 document the -s option.
422 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
424 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
425 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
426 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
427 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
429 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
430 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
431 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
432 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
433 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
434 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
435 Finally, the original data is written back.
437 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
438 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
439 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
440 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
441 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
442 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
443 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
444 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
445 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
446 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
447 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
448 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
449 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
450 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
451 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
453 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
454 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
455 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
458 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
459 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
461 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
462 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
463 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
464 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
465 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
466 and want the host hard drive to flush.
468 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
469 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
470 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
471 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
472 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
473 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
474 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
475 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
478 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
479 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
480 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
481 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
482 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
483 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
484 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
485 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
486 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
487 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
488 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
489 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
490 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
491 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
494 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
495 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
496 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
497 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
498 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
499 for your information.
501 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
502 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
503 which I install which will write back whatever original
504 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
505 (except SIGKILL, of course).
507 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
508 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
509 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
510 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
511 could learn how to update the manpage and other
512 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
513 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
514 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
515 should be in the distribution."
517 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
519 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
520 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
521 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
523 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
525 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
526 option is properly named.
528 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
530 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
531 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
532 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
534 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
536 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
537 the source directory.
539 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
541 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
543 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
545 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
546 filesystem option is properly named.
548 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
550 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
551 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
552 fsck -As can do so interactively.
554 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
556 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
558 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
560 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
561 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
562 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
564 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
565 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
566 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
567 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
569 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
570 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
571 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
574 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
575 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
576 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
577 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
580 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
581 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
583 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
585 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
587 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
588 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
589 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
591 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
592 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
595 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
597 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
599 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
601 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
602 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
603 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
604 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
606 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
607 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
608 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
609 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
611 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
613 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
614 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
615 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
616 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
617 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
619 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
621 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
622 changing the sparse superblock option
624 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
625 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
626 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
629 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
631 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
632 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
634 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
636 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
639 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
642 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
643 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
646 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
649 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
651 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
654 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
656 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
658 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
660 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
661 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
662 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
663 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
664 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
665 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
666 the filesystem the system would make.
668 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
670 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
671 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
672 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
673 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
674 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
676 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
678 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
679 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
680 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
682 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
684 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
685 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
687 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
689 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
690 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
691 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
692 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
693 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
694 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
696 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
697 UUID=bar type specifications.
699 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
701 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
702 clear out a large block number.
704 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
706 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
707 appears mounted if the force option is given.
709 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
711 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
712 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
714 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
716 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
719 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
721 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
722 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
723 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
724 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
726 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
728 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
731 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
733 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
734 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
736 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
738 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
739 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
740 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
741 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
743 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
745 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
746 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
747 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
748 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
749 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
750 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
752 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
754 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
755 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
756 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
758 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
759 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
762 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
764 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
766 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

774 needs to be treated as zero.
776 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
778 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow the user to specify exactly how many
779 inodes he/she wishes.
781 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
782 program if the -V option is given.
784 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
787 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
789 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
790 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
792 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
793 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
795 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
797 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
798 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.

802 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
804 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
806 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
807 seperated", instead of common separated)
809 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
811 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
813 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
815 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
816 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
817 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
819 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
821 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
823 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10

865 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
867 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
868 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
869 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
870 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
871 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
873 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
875 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.

882 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
884 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
887 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
888 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
891 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
892 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
893 that the label will be truncated.
895 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
896 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
897 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
899 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
901 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning

1145 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
1148 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1150 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1152 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1154 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1155 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1157 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1159 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1161 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1164 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1166 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1167 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1168 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1169 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1170 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1171 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1172 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1173 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1176 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1178 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1180 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1182 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1183 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1186 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1188 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1189 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1190 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1191 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1192 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1194 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1196 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1199 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1201 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1202 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1204 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1206 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1208 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1210 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1211 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1212 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1214 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1216 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1219 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1221 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1222 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1224 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1225 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1226 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1227 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1229 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1231 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1232 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1233 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1236 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1245 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1247 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1249 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1250 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1251 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1254 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1256 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1258 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1259 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1260 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1262 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1264 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1265 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1266 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1267 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1270 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1271 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1272 alloca is not portable!
1274 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1275 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1278 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1280 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1282 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1285 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1287 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1288 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1290 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1292 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1293 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1295 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1297 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1299 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1300 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1302 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1304 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1306 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1307 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1308 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1309 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1311 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1312 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1313 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1314 statically sized buffer.
1315 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1316 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1318 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1319 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1320 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1321 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1322 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1324 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1325 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1326 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1327 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1330 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1331 support separate compilation directories.
1333 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1335 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1336 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1337 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1338 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1340 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1341 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1342 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1343 very large partition.
1345 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1346 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1347 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1349 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1350 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1351 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1352 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1353 ioctl, which most do.)
1355 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1356 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1357 during 0.5b development.)
1359 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1361 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1362 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1363 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1364 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1367 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1368 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1369 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1371 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1373 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1375 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1376 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1377 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1379 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1381 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1383 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1385 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1387 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1388 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1389 all partitions should be checked.
1391 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1393 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1396 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1399 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1401 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1402 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1404 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1406 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1408 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1410 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1413 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1415 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1417 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1419 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1421 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1423 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1425 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1426 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1427 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1428 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1429 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1431 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1432 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1433 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1434 statistics if necessary.
