1 2005-01-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
3 * blkid.c (main, compare_search_type): Make blkid -t work more
4 consistently when the blkid cache file is explicitly set
5 to /dev/null. (Addresses Debian Bug #292425)
7 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't use a blocksize greater than 4k, even on
8 2.6 kernels, unless explicitly requested by the user; not
9 all 2.6 kernels (includeing stock 2.6 kernels as of this
10 writing) don't support blocksizes > 4k.
12 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the device size is too big to be expressed
13 using a 1k blocksize, retry with a 4k blocksize.
14 (Addresses Sourceforge bug #1106631)
16 2005-01-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
18 * Makefile.in (uninstall): Make sure "make uninstall" removes
19 everything installed by the makefile.
21 * e2image.c (scramble_dir_block): Make sure the unused space
22 in the '.' and '..' directory entries are cleared when
23 e2image -rs is specified.
25 2005-01-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
27 * tune2fs.8.in: Clarified man page about the -c option.
29 2005-01-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
31 * blkid.c (main): Make blkid -t display all devices that match the
32 specified criteria, not just the first one. (Addresses
35 2005-01-20 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
37 * filefrag.c (frag_report): Fix filefrag so that it works
38 correctly with sparse files; unallocated blocks should not
39 be treated as a discontinuity.
41 2005-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
43 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, set_os): Interpret OS Creator values for
46 2005-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
48 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for the -s option which
49 scrambles directory entries for raw image files.
51 2005-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
53 * tune2fs.c: On Solaris, defining _XOPEN_SOURCE inexplicably
54 causes struct timeval to be undefined, breaking system
55 header files left and right. But glibc requires
56 _XOPEN_SOURCE in order for strptime() to be defined. So
57 don't define _XOPEN_SOURCE on Solaris systems.
59 * filefrag.c (frag_report): Applied patch from Francois Petillon
60 (fantec at proxad.net) to avoid a file descriptor leak.
62 2005-01-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
64 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr): Increase the number of spaces reserved
65 for printing block numbers, so we can correctly display
66 block numbers numbers greater than 999,999,999.
67 (Addresses SourceForge bug #1016163)
69 * tune2fs.c (main): When specifying the number of reservered
70 blocks that can only be allocated by root, enforce a 50%
71 limit so that the user can't accidentally make a
72 superblock which e2fsck will think is insane.
74 2005-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
76 * fsck.c (PRS): Apply Fedora's e2fsprogs-1.35-progress.patch from
77 e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2. Fixed multiple command-line parsing
78 bugs so that backwards compatibility is maintained, and so
79 that certain command-line options wouldn't be ignored.
81 * mke2fs.c (parse_extended_opts): Rename the -R option to -E. Fix
82 the resize= raid/extended option so it actually works.
83 (The patch from Fedora e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2 claimed it
84 worked, but it was a placebo option, despite the claim
85 that it worked in the usage message.)
87 * e2initrd_helper.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
89 * e2image.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall nits. Fix e2image so that
90 e2image -I has an exit code of 0 when it is successful.
92 * mke2fs.c (PRS, parse_r_opts): Use parse_num_blocks() from the
93 e2p library to parse the number of blocks from the command
96 2004-12-23 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
98 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): If reserved GDT blocks are present,
99 display them along with the other filesystem meta blocks.
101 2004-12-22 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
103 * fsck.c (main): Check return from malloc of fsck_path string.
105 2004-12-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
107 * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Fix minor buglet; the parse_time routine
108 should use the passed-in argument, not optarg, even though
109 the two are the same in the case of the current caller of
112 2004-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
114 * mke2fs.c: Applied resize inode patch from Andreas Dilger to add
115 support for creating filesystems with reserved space for
118 2004-12-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
120 * Makefile.in: Move strip command to install-strip target.
121 Use Linux-kernel-style makefile output for "make install"
123 * Makefile.in (installdirs): Use $(MKINSTALLDIRS) macro
125 2004-12-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
127 * e2image.8.in: Fix minor glitches in man page.
129 2004-11-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
131 * Makefile.in: Delete e2initrd_helper when doing a make clean.
133 * tune2fs.c: If there is a question mark in the device name,
134 separate out the options to the IO layer, and pass it on
137 * Makefile.in: Use Linux-kernel-style makefile output to make it
138 easier to see errors/warnings.
140 2004-11-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
142 * mke2fs.8.in: Removed the word "destructive" when describing the
143 read-write test, since it can confuse people.
145 2004-10-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
147 * mke2fs.8.in: Add an explanation about why reserved blocks in a
148 filesystem is a good thing.
150 2004-09-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
152 * badblocks.8.in: Document the default block size. (Addresses
155 2004-09-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
157 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): Only use blocksizes > 4k on Linux
158 2.6 and newer systems. (Addresses Debian Bug #271064)
160 2004-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
162 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Avoid double // when listing the
163 root directory, or when there is a trailing '/' in the
164 directory name. (Addresses Debian Bug #272943)
166 * Makefile.in: Make sure /usr/lib is created for when we install
169 2004-09-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
171 * badblocks.c: Use _() around done_string, so that it gets
172 correctly translated. (Addresses Debian Bug #252836)
174 * tune2fs.8.in: Add a description of the .journal file, why it
175 is created, and how e2fsck converts it to an invisible
176 journal. (Addresses Debian Bug #256760)
178 2004-09-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
180 * e2initrd_helper.c: New program which allows initrd scripts to
181 check on the contents of /etc/fstab without (a) needing to
182 mount the root filesystem, and (b) needing /bin/awk in the
183 initrd environment. (Addresses Debian Bug #247775)
185 2004-09-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
187 * tune2fs.8.in: Mention that e2fsck -D might be useful after
188 setting the dir_index filesystem feature. (Addresses
191 2004-07-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
193 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add new option -I which allows the
194 administrator to install an metadata stored in an e2image
195 file to a filesystem. Obviously, this can be very
198 2004-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
200 * Makefile.in (mke2fs.static): Add the blkid library to so
201 mke2fs.static builds correctly.
203 2004-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
205 * tune2fs.8.in: Fixed spelling error (Addresses Debian Bug #242995)
207 * mke2fs.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the '-O' option.
208 (Addresses Debian Bug #241940)
210 2004-04-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
212 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): If the compatibility bitmasks
213 were not modified, don't set the superblock dirty bit.
215 2004-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
217 * Makefile.in: Update the modtime even if subst doesn't need to
218 update the man pages, to avoid always re-running
219 subst, especially since there are no dependencies on these
222 2004-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
224 * blkid.c: Remove the partially implemented -p option (it never
225 did anything, but was documented in the man page and the
228 2004-03-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
230 * blkid.c (main, print_tags): Add new option -o which allows the
231 user to control the output format of blkid.
233 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix spelling typos (Addresses Debian Bug #238741)
235 2004-03-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
237 * e2image.8.in: Update manpage to detail that writing to stdout is
238 currently only supported when writing a raw image dump.
239 (Addresses Debian bug #236383)
241 2004-03-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
243 * logsave.c (main): Use setsid() to avoid getting killed by init
244 (run_program): Add a newline after reporting the exit code
245 or signal when the program exits.
247 2004-02-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
249 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.35
251 2004-02-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
253 * badblocks.c (main): Change the default number of blocks tested
254 at once from 16 to 64. (Addresses Debian bug #232240)
256 2004-02-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
258 * filefrag.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
260 * badblocks.c (pattern_fill): Fix bug accidentally added when
261 fixing up gcc -Wall nits. badblocks -t random was not
262 getting handled properly because ~0 needed to be cast to
263 an unsigned long instead of an unsigned char. (Addresses
266 2004-02-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
268 * fsck.c (execute): Use '&&' instead of '&'. (It didn't cause a
269 problem because we got lucky, but let's do things right.
270 Fix from Thomas Woerner at Red Hat.)
272 2004-02-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
274 * filefrag.c: Use #ifdef __linux__ instead of __LINUX__ so that it
275 actually compiles on Linux. (Addresses Debian bug
278 2004-01-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
280 * chattr.1.in: Clarify man page.
282 * chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mklost+found.8.in,
283 tune2fs.8.in: List Theodore Ts'o <tytso@alum.mit.edu> as
284 the current maintainer.
286 2004-01-20 root <tytso@mit.edu>
288 * chattr.c (main): Add support for '--' to stop options
289 processing. (Addresses Debian bug #225188).
291 2003-12-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
293 * chattr.1.in: Update text indicating the 'c', 's', and 'u'
294 attributes are not currently supported to remove any
295 mention of a specific kernel version. (Addresses Debian
298 * fsck.8.in: Update text describing "standard" options supported
299 by filesystem-specific checkers. (Addresses Debian bug
302 2003-12-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
304 * Makefile.in: Add filefrag program to the list of programs
305 installed in /usr/sbin.
307 2003-12-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@thunk.org>
309 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix some whitespace errors in the command synopsis.

316 fsck.h, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, nls-enable.h, tune2fs.c,
317 util.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks.
319 2003-09-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
321 * tune2fs.c (parse_e2label_options, parse_tune2fs_options,
322 do_findfs): Check the returned name from blkid_get_devname and
323 print an error if the requested LABEL/UUID does not exist.
325 2003-09-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
327 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Use ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc to
328 determine the locations of the superblock and block group
331 2003-11-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
333 * util.c (check_plausibility): Support 2.6 kernel header files,
334 instead of having the build to crash. (Addresses Debian
337 2003-09-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
339 * mke2fs.c (progress_init, progress_update): If the environment
340 variable MKE2FS_SKIP_PROGRESS is set, then don't print out
341 a progress bar; for regression test support.
342 (PRS): If the environment variable MKE2FS_DEVICE_SECTSIZE
343 is set, then override the device sector size. Again for
344 regression test support.
345 (main): If the environment variable MKE2FS_SKIP_CHECK_MSG
346 is set, then skip printing an information messages about
347 when the filesystem will be checked, since this number is
348 random and screws up the regression test expect script.
350 2003-08-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
352 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): Fix bug which caused -T largefile or
353 -T largefile4 to core dump due to a division by zero
354 error. (Addressed Debian bug #207082)
356 2003-08-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
358 * dumpe2fs.8.in, e2image.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
359 tune2fs.8.in: Adjust description line so that apropos
360 "ext2" or "ext3" will find the man page. (Addresses
363 2003-08-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
365 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Add check to make sure the file
366 offset of the device is page aligned. (Addresses Debian
369 * badblocks.c (test_ro, test_rw): Add code to recover after an
370 error so that we continue reading on page-aligned
371 boundaries. (Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for
374 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
376 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.34
378 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
380 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add warning if using -j and the blocksize is
381 greater than 4096, since some kernels don't support ext3
382 with large block sizes. (Addresses Debian bug #193773)
384 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Remove debugging printf. (Addresses
387 2003-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
389 * fsck.c (wait_many): Rename wait_all() to wait_many(), and have
390 new semantics: WAIT_ALL vs. WAIT_ATLEAST_ONE. This fixes
391 a bug where when fsck is waiting for another partition on
392 the same spindle, it spins wasting a lot of CPU.
394 2003-07-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
396 * badblocks.c (do_read, do_write, test_rw): Change the read/write
397 test to honor the -c option (number of blocks at a time).
398 do_read and do_write will try to turn on the O_DIRECT flag
399 if it appears that it is possible to use it. (Addresses
402 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): If sector_size is 0, don't use it to
403 set the blocksize to zero. This causes MD devices to fail
404 since they don't support the BLKSSZGET ioctl. (Addresses
407 2003-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
409 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main): If CONFIG_TESTIO_DEBUG, then use the
412 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Round down the default filesystem size so that
413 it is an even multiple of the page size, to work around
414 buffer cache kernel bug.
416 * badblocks.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (signed/unsigned type issues)
418 * blkid.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (missing #include <string.h>)
420 2003-05-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
422 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): If the sector size of the
423 device is larger than the default block size, then use the
424 sector size of the device as the default block size.
426 2003-05-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
428 * badblocks.c: Use an unsigned integer to support 4-byte test
429 patterns with the high bit set. Let the user explicitly
430 specify a random pattern with the argument "random".
432 2003-05-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
434 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Fix minor memory leak with test_rw() is
435 called for multiple passes.
436 (test_nd): Fix bug in chosing randomness for the
437 non-destructive test. We were only using 1 bit of
438 randomness per byte instead of 8 due to a bit-shift bug.
439 Also, initialize the random number generator from the time
440 in main(). Thanks to Thayne Harbaugh for pointing out
443 * badblocks.c, badblocks.8.in: Functional enhancements contributed
444 by Thayne Harbaugh. These patches allow the -t option to
445 control the test pattern(s) used when checking the disk.
446 Test patterns may be specified in all modes (r/w, r/o and
449 2003-05-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
451 * tune2fs.c (main, add_journal_device, remove_journal_device): If
452 --enable-testio-debug is set, then use the test_io manager
453 so we can watch what tune2fs is doing.
455 2003-05-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
457 * uuidgen.c (main): Add setup functions for NLS support.
459 * e2image.c (write_header), mke2fs.c (PRS): Add missing space in
462 * badblocks.c (usage), findsuper.c (main), util.c
463 (parse_journal_opts): Fix typo in usage string.
465 * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Add portability code to work around lack
468 * Makefile.in: Add $(LIBINTL) to the link line so we can support
469 using the internal gettext library.
471 * nls-enable.h: Add #ifndef protection around LOCALEDIR definition.
473 2003-04-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
475 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.33
477 2003-04-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
479 * Makefile.in (uuidgen): Avoid linking lsattr and chattr against
480 libext2fs, and avoid linking blkid against any of the ext2
483 2003-04-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
485 * Makefile.in (fsck): Fsck does not need to linked against the
486 ext2 libraries anymore.
488 2003-04-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
490 * fsck.c (main): Put stdout and stderr into non-buffered mode to
491 avoid cosmetic problems when running fsck under logsave.
493 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Avoid printing the version banner for mke2fs if
494 the -q option is specified. (Addresses Debian bug #172716)
496 * logsave.c: Add support for the -a option (only partially
497 implemented previously). Always log the command-line and
498 start and stop time to the log file. Add support for the
499 -s option, which skips text bracketed between control-A
500 and control-B characters.
502 2003-04-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
504 * logsave.c: New program which saves the output of a command in a
505 log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been
506 mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in
507 memory until it can write out the logfile).
509 2003-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
511 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the argument to -b is negative, treat it as a
512 minimum blocksize. (Feature requested by EVMS developers
513 for mainframe DASD's that do not support 1k blocksizes.)
515 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the -g option. (Addresses Debian bug #188318)
517 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug where mke2fs was incorrectly checking
518 the argument to the -g option, if the default block size
519 is used. (Addresses Debian bug #188319)
521 * tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Document the dir_index filesystem
522 feature which can be used with the -O option.
524 2003-04-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
526 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, interpret_type, fsck_device, ignore,
527 main): Don't evaluate the filesystem type when loading the
528 fstab file, since that might cause fsck to hang trying to
529 read from a floppy disk. (Addresses Debian bug #187812)
530 Add tmpfs and devpts to filesystems that should be
531 ignored, and add jfs, reseirfs, and xfs as filesystems
532 types where we should complain if we can't find the fsck
533 program for that filesystem type.
535 2003-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
537 * badblocks.c (bb_output): Flush output to the badblocks
538 output file as bad blocks are discovered.
540 2003-03-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
542 * chattr.1.in: Clarified the description of the 't' (no tail)
543 attribute. (Addresses Debian bug #185945)
545 2003-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
547 * fsck.c: And #ifdef protection around #include of malloc.h
549 2003-03-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
551 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Include blocks from slow
552 symbolic links in the raw image file.
554 2003-03-06 <tytso@mit.edu>
556 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, parse_e2label_options): Allow
557 the device name to be specified using LABEL=xxx or
558 UUID=xxx, since we're including the blkid library anyway.
559 (Addresses Debian bugs #166048, #179671)
561 * tune2fs.8.in, chattr.1.in: Minor man page fixes (Addresses
562 Debian bugs #175233, #175113, and #170497)
564 2003-03-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
566 * Makefile.in (DEPLIBS_BLKID): Use DEPLIBUUID, not LIBUUID to
567 avoid depending on -lsocket on Solaris.
569 2003-03-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
571 * fsck.c, util.c, tune2fs.c, Makefile.in: Use the blkid library
572 instead of the specialized functions in
573 get-device-by-label.c and fstype.c.

604 2002-11-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
606 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default;
607 the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not
608 the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards
609 compatibility support for dir_indexing removed.
611 2002-11-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
613 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.32
615 2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

627 2002-11-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
629 * chattr.c, chattr.1.in: Add support for a new inode flag, which
630 is to be used for indicating the top of directory
631 hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator.
633 2002-10-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
635 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Pay attention to
636 partitions returned in /proc/partitions that begin with
637 with the string "lvm".

649 erreoneously (and needlessly).
651 2002-10-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
653 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
654 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
655 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
656 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
659 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
661 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
662 if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
663 will still print out the contents of the block group
666 2002-10-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
668 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), mke2fs.c (PRS), e2image.c

672 2002-10-15 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
674 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (update_mntopts, main): Add new option
675 'o' which allows the system administrator to specify
676 default mount options.
678 2002-10-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
680 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Use a 16k buffer to
681 read in /proc/partitions in one go.
683 * badblocks.c, fsck.c, fstype.c, get_device_by_label.c,
684 tune2fs.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.

688 * mklost+found.c (main): Make sure the lost+found directory is
689 created with 0700 permissions.
691 2002-10-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
693 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Handle a bad block in the

699 adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
702 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
703 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows
704 badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
705 CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.
707 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
709 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
710 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
711 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
712 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
714 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
716 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
718 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
720 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
721 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
722 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
723 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
724 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
726 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
728 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
730 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to
731 be set. If so, set the default hash to be TEA, and
732 initialize the hash seed to a random value.
734 2002-09-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
736 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Fix bug which caused
737 LABEL='xxx' to not work correctly when using LVM.

740 2001-08-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
742 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.28
744 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
746 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
748 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
749 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
750 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
752 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
753 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
754 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
755 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
758 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
761 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
762 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
764 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive
765 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
768 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
769 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
770 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)
772 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page, and clarified text regarding
773 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
776 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
777 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
780 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
782 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
783 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
785 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
787 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
789 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
790 child fsck processes.
792 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
794 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
795 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
796 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
798 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
800 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
801 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
802 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
804 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
806 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)

815 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
817 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
819 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
820 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
822 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
824 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
825 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
826 is larger than the system's page size according to the
827 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
828 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
829 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
832 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
834 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
836 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
838 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
840 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
842 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
843 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
845 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
847 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
848 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
850 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
852 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
853 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
855 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
857 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
858 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
859 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
860 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
861 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
863 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
865 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
868 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
870 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
871 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
872 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
873 installing the man pages.
875 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
877 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
879 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
881 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
882 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
885 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
888 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
890 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26

894 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
897 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
898 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
899 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
901 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
903 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
904 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
905 envrionment variable.
907 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
909 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
911 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
913 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
915 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
916 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
919 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
921 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
922 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
923 the last checked time on the filesystem.
925 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
927 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
928 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
931 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
932 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
933 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
935 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
936 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
938 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
939 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
940 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
941 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
942 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
944 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
946 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
947 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
948 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
949 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
950 include search path.)
952 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
954 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
955 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
956 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
959 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
961 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
962 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
963 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
965 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
967 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
968 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
969 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
970 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
971 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
973 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
974 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
976 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
979 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
981 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
982 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
983 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
985 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
987 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
990 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
992 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
993 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
995 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
997 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
1000 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
1002 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
1003 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
1004 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
1005 into a real device name.
1007 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1009 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
1010 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
1011 calls are a good thing. <g>
1013 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1015 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
1017 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
1019 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
1021 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
1023 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1025 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
1028 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
1029 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
1031 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1033 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
1036 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
1038 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
1040 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1042 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.

1048 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1050 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
1052 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
1053 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
1054 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
1056 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1058 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
1059 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
1060 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
1061 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
1062 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
1063 small device (less than 64 blocks).
1065 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1067 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
1070 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
1071 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
1072 display, since it only confuses people.
1074 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1076 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
1079 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
1080 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
1081 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
1083 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1085 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
1086 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
1087 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
1088 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
1090 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
1091 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
1092 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
1093 in the ext2 superblock.
1095 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
1096 malloc'd in interpret spec.
1098 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1100 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
1102 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1104 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
1105 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
1108 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
1110 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
1111 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
1112 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
1113 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
1115 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
1116 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
1117 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
1119 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
1120 specified more than once.
1122 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1124 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
1125 text that erroneously implied that all features
1126 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
1129 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1131 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
1132 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
1133 should not be present.
1135 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
1137 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
1139 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
1140 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
1142 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1144 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
1145 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
1146 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
1147 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
1149 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1151 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
1152 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
1154 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1156 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
1157 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
1158 blocksize of the new filesystem.
1160 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1162 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
1163 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
1166 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1168 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
1169 of the filesystem to determines its type.
1171 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
1172 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
1174 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1176 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
1178 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1180 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.21
1182 2001-06-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1184 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
1187 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1189 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
1190 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
1191 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
1192 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
1193 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
1195 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
1196 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
1199 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
1200 specified to configure.
1202 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1204 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
1205 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
1207 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
1208 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
1211 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
1212 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
1213 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
1215 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1217 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
1218 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
1219 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
1221 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1223 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
1224 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.
1226 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1228 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20

1232 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
1234 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1236 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
1237 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
1238 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
1240 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
1241 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
1243 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1245 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
1246 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
1247 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
1248 for description of new -t semantics.
1250 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
1251 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
1252 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
1254 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
1255 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
1258 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1260 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
1261 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
1262 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h

1267 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1269 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
1270 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
1272 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1274 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
1276 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
1277 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
1279 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1281 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
1282 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
1283 value depending on if superblock features are set.
1285 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1287 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
1289 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
1290 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
1291 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
1293 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
1296 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1298 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
1300 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1302 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
1303 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
1305 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
1306 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
1307 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
1309 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
1310 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
1312 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1314 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
1316 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
1317 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
1318 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
1320 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
1321 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
1324 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
1327 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1329 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
1330 the base device, we should assume that the device is
1331 already active in order to force serialization.
1333 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1335 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
1336 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
1337 more sense to users.
1339 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1341 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
1342 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
1343 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
1344 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
1345 from journal device.
1346 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
1347 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
1348 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
1350 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1352 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
1353 documentation for the extern journal device support.
1355 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
1358 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1360 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
1361 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
1363 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
1364 number to be treated as a journal size.
1366 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
1369 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
1370 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
1371 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
1372 entire device to get zero'ed.
1374 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1376 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
1377 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
1380 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
1382 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
1383 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
1384 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
1385 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
1386 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
1387 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
1388 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
1389 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
1390 using the absolute size of the journal.
1392 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1394 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
1395 Also handle the case where the default journal size
1396 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
1397 the filesystem will be checked.
1399 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1401 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
1403 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1405 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
1408 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
1409 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
1412 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
1413 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
1415 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1417 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
1418 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
1419 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
1420 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
1421 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
1422 with the rest of the options out there.)
1424 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
1425 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
1426 from the external journal's filesystem list.
1428 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
1429 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
1430 given a filesystem size.
1432 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
1435 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
1436 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
1438 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1440 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
1441 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
1442 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
1444 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
1445 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
1446 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
1447 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
1448 have been created via separate step.
1450 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
1451 information about an external journal device.
1453 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1455 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
1456 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
1457 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
1458 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
1459 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
1460 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
1461 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
1462 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
1464 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
1466 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
1467 stdout after printing in-progress message.
1468 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
1469 the mount status of the device.
1471 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1473 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
1474 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
1475 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
1476 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
1477 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
1479 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
1482 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
1484 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1486 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
1487 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
1488 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
1490 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1492 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
1495 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
1496 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
1499 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
1501 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
1502 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
1504 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1506 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
1507 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
1508 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
1509 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
1511 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
1512 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
1513 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
1515 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
1516 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
1518 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1520 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
1521 struct ext2_super_block.
1523 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
1524 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
1525 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
1526 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
1527 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
1528 using our own version now).
1530 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1532 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
1533 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
1534 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
1535 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
1536 the parallel_root option.
1538 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
1539 the file attributes.
1541 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
1542 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
1544 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
1545 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
1546 support for the journaled data flag.
1548 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
1550 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1552 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
1554 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
1555 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
1557 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1559 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
1562 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
1563 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
1564 instead of core dumping.
1566 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1568 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
1569 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
1570 journal creation routines for this purpose.
1572 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
1573 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
1575 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
1576 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
1578 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1580 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
1581 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
1584 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
1585 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
1587 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
1589 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1591 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
1592 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
1595 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
1596 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
1597 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
1598 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
1601 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
1602 group names to uid's before storing them in the
1603 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
1605 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1607 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
1608 option=argument style options, and add support for
1609 creating filesystems with external journals.
1611 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
1613 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1615 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
1616 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
1618 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1620 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
1621 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
1624 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
1627 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
1628 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
1631 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
1632 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
1635 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1637 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
1640 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
1642 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
1643 systems with four IDE interfaces.
1645 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
1647 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1650 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1651 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1653 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1655 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1656 we can't find the device using the name given by
1657 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1658 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1660 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1662 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1663 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1664 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1666 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1668 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1670 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1672 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1673 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1675 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1677 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1678 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1680 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1682 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1684 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1686 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1687 are mutually exclusive.
1689 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1690 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1691 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1694 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1695 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1696 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1697 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1698 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1699 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1700 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1701 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1704 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1705 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1706 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1707 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1710 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1712 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1713 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1714 the progress bar display logic.
1716 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1717 max_mount_count is negative.
1719 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1720 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1723 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1724 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1725 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1726 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1727 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1728 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1730 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1731 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1732 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1734 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1735 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1736 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1739 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1740 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1741 device as a default.
1743 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1745 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1746 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1747 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1748 old, overly complicated logic.
1749 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1750 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1751 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1753 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1755 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1756 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1757 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1758 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1760 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1762 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1763 or LABEL= specification is given.
1765 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1766 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1767 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1768 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1769 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1770 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1772 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1773 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1774 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1775 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1776 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1778 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1780 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1781 support fdatasync().
1783 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1785 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1786 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1787 manually define optarg and optind.
1789 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1792 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1793 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1794 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1795 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1797 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1798 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1800 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1802 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1805 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1807 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1809 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1811 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1812 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1814 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1815 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1816 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1817 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1820 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1821 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1822 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1824 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1826 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1827 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1828 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1829 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1830 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1832 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1833 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1834 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1835 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1836 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1837 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1839 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1841 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1843 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1844 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1845 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1846 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1847 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1849 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1850 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1852 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1854 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1856 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1857 document the -s option.
1859 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1861 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1862 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1863 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1864 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1866 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1867 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1868 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1869 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1870 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1871 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1872 Finally, the original data is written back.
1874 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1875 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1876 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1877 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1878 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1879 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1880 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1881 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1882 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1883 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1884 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1885 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1886 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1887 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1888 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1890 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1891 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1892 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1895 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1896 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1898 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1899 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1900 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1901 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1902 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1903 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1905 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1906 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1907 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1908 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1909 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1910 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1911 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1912 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1915 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1916 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1917 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1918 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1919 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1920 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1921 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1922 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1923 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1924 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1925 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1926 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1927 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1928 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1929 completely reliable.
1931 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1932 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1933 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1934 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1935 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1936 for your information.
1938 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1939 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1940 which I install which will write back whatever original
1941 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1942 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1944 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1945 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1946 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1947 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1948 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1949 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1950 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1951 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1952 should be in the distribution."
1954 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1956 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1957 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1958 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1960 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1962 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1963 option is properly named.
1965 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1967 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1968 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1969 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1971 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1973 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1974 the source directory.
1976 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1978 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1980 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1982 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1983 filesystem option is properly named.
1985 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1987 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1988 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1989 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1991 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1993 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1995 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1997 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1998 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1999 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
2001 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
2002 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
2003 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
2004 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
2006 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
2007 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
2008 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
2011 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
2012 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
2013 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
2014 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
2017 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
2018 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
2020 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
2022 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
2024 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
2025 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
2026 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
2028 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
2029 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
2032 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
2034 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
2036 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
2038 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
2039 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
2040 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
2041 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
2043 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
2044 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
2045 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
2046 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
2048 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
2050 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
2051 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
2052 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
2053 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
2054 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
2056 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
2058 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
2059 changing the sparse superblock option
2061 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
2062 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
2063 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
2066 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
2068 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
2069 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
2071 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
2073 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
2076 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
2079 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
2080 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
2083 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
2086 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
2088 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
2091 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2093 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
2095 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2097 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
2098 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
2099 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
2100 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
2101 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
2102 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
2103 the filesystem the system would make.
2105 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
2107 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
2108 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
2109 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
2110 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
2111 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
2113 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
2115 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
2116 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
2117 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
2119 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
2121 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
2122 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
2124 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
2126 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
2127 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
2128 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
2129 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
2130 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
2131 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
2133 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
2134 UUID=bar type specifications.
2136 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
2138 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
2139 clear out a large block number.
2141 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
2143 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
2144 appears mounted if the force option is given.
2146 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
2148 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
2149 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
2151 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2153 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
2156 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2158 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
2159 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
2160 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
2161 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
2163 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
2165 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
2168 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2170 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
2171 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
2173 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2175 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
2176 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
2177 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
2178 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
2180 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2182 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
2183 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
2184 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
2185 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
2186 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
2187 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
2189 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2191 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
2192 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
2193 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
2194 fsck pass structure.
2195 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
2196 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
2199 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2201 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
2203 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2205 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
2208 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2210 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
2211 needs to be treated as zero.
2213 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2215 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
2216 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
2218 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
2219 program if the -V option is given.
2221 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
2222 through a directory.
2224 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2226 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
2227 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
2229 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
2230 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
2232 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2234 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
2235 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
2237 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2239 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
2241 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2243 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_

2246 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2248 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
2250 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2252 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
2253 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
2254 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.

2305 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
2306 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
2307 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
2308 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.

2319 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
2321 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
2324 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
2325 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
2328 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
2329 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
2330 that the label will be truncated.
2332 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
2333 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
2334 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

2381 * mklost+found.c (main):
2383 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
2385 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
2386 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
2387 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
2390 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

2408 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2410 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
2411 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
2412 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
2414 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
2415 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
2416 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.

2424 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
2425 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
2426 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
2427 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
2430 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
2431 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
2433 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
2435 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
2436 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
2439 Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2467 sparse superblock flag is set.
2468 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
2469 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
2472 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

2498 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2500 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
2502 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
2504 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2559 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
2560 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
2561 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
2564 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
2565 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
2566 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
2567 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
2570 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
2572 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
2573 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
2574 and no version number is specified.
2576 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2601 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2603 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
2604 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
2605 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
2606 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
2607 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
2608 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
2609 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
2610 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
2613 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2615 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02

2623 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2625 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
2626 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
2627 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
2628 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
2629 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
2631 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2633 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
2636 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2638 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
2639 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.

2643 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
2645 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2647 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
2648 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
2649 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
2651 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2653 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
2656 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2658 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
2659 function to determine if the device is mounted.
2661 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
2662 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
2663 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
2664 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
2666 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2668 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
2669 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
2670 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
2673 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2682 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
2684 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>

2687 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
2688 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
2691 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
2693 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2695 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2696 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
2697 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
2699 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2701 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2702 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2703 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2704 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2707 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2708 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
2709 alloca is not portable!
2711 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
2712 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2715 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
2717 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)

2722 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
2724 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2725 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
2727 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2729 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2730 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
2732 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2734 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2736 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2737 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2739 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2741 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2743 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
2744 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
2745 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
2746 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2748 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
2749 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2750 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2751 statically sized buffer.
2752 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2753 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2755 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2756 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2757 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2758 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2759 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2761 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2762 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2763 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2764 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2767 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2768 support separate compilation directories.
2770 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2772 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2773 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2774 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2775 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2777 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2778 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2779 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2780 very large partition.
2782 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2783 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2784 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2786 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2787 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2788 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2789 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2790 ioctl, which most do.)
2792 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2793 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2794 during 0.5b development.)
2796 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2798 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2799 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2800 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2801 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2804 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2805 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2806 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2808 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2810 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2812 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2813 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2814 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2816 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2818 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2820 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2822 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2824 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2825 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2826 all partitions should be checked.
2828 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2830 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2833 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2836 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2838 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2839 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2841 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2843 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2845 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2847 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2850 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2852 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2854 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2856 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2858 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2860 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2862 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2863 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2864 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2865 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2866 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2868 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2869 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2870 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2871 statistics if necessary.
