3 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
4 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
5 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
6 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
8 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
10 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
11 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
13 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
15 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
16 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
17 blocksize of the new filesystem.
19 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
21 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
22 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
25 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
27 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
28 of the filesystem to determines its type.
30 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
31 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
33 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
35 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
37 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

43 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
46 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
48 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
49 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
50 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
51 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
52 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
54 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
55 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
58 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
59 specified to configure.
61 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
63 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
64 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
66 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
67 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
70 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
71 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
72 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
74 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
76 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
77 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
78 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
80 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
82 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
83 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.

91 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
93 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
95 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
96 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
97 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
99 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
100 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
102 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
104 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
105 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
106 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
107 for description of new -t semantics.
109 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
110 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
111 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
113 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
114 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
117 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
119 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
120 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
121 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
123 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
126 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
128 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
129 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
131 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
133 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
135 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
136 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
138 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
140 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
141 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
142 value depending on if superblock features are set.
144 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
146 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
148 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
149 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
150 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
152 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
155 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
157 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
159 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
161 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
162 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
164 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
165 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
166 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
168 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
169 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
171 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
173 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
175 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
176 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
177 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
179 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
180 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
183 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
186 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
188 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
189 the base device, we should assume that the device is
190 already active in order to force serialization.
192 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
194 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
195 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
198 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
200 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
201 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
202 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
203 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
205 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
206 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
207 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
209 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
211 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
212 documentation for the extern journal device support.
214 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
217 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
219 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
220 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
222 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
223 number to be treated as a journal size.
225 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
228 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
229 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
230 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
231 entire device to get zero'ed.
233 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
235 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
236 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
239 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
241 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
242 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
243 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
244 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
245 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
246 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
247 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
248 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
249 using the absolute size of the journal.
251 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
253 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
254 Also handle the case where the default journal size
255 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
256 the filesystem will be checked.
258 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
260 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
262 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
264 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
267 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
268 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
271 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
272 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
274 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
276 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
277 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
278 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
279 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
280 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
281 with the rest of the options out there.)
283 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
284 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
285 from the external journal's filesystem list.
287 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
288 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
289 given a filesystem size.
291 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
294 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
295 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
297 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
299 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
300 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
301 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
303 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
304 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
305 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
306 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
307 have been created via separate step.
309 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
310 information about an external journal device.
312 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
314 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
315 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
316 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
317 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
318 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
319 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
320 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
321 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
323 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
325 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
326 stdout after printing in-progress message.
327 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
328 the mount status of the device.
330 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
332 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
333 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
334 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
335 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
336 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
338 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
341 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
343 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
345 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
346 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
347 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
349 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
351 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
354 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
355 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
358 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
360 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
361 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
363 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
365 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
366 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
367 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
368 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
370 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
371 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
372 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
374 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
375 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
377 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
379 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
380 struct ext2_super_block.
382 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
383 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
384 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
385 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
386 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
387 using our own version now).
389 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
391 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
392 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
393 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
394 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
395 the parallel_root option.
397 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
400 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
401 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
403 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
404 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
405 support for the journaled data flag.
407 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
409 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
411 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
413 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
414 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
416 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
418 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
421 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
422 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
423 instead of core dumping.
425 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
427 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
428 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
429 journal creation routines for this purpose.
431 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
432 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
434 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
435 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
437 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
439 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
440 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
443 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
444 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
446 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
448 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
450 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
451 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
454 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
455 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
456 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
457 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
460 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
461 group names to uid's before storing them in the
462 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
464 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
466 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
467 option=argument style options, and add support for
468 creating filesystems with external journals.
470 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
472 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
474 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
475 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
477 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
479 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
480 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
483 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
486 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
487 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
490 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
491 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
494 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
496 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
499 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
501 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
502 systems with four IDE interfaces.
504 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
506 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
509 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
510 the inode table location in non-hex format.
512 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
514 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
515 we can't find the device using the name given by
516 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
517 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
519 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
521 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
522 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
523 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
525 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
527 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
529 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
531 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
532 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
534 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
536 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
537 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
539 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
541 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
543 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
545 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
546 are mutually exclusive.
548 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
549 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
550 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
553 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
554 variable before going into the write verification loop.
555 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
556 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
557 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
558 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
559 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
560 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
563 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
564 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
565 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
566 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
569 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
571 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
572 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
573 the progress bar display logic.
575 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
576 max_mount_count is negative.
578 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
579 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
582 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
583 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
584 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
585 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
586 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
587 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
589 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
590 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
591 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
593 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
594 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
595 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
598 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
599 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
602 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
604 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
605 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
606 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
607 old, overly complicated logic.
608 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
609 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
610 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
612 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
614 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
615 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
616 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
617 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
619 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
621 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
622 or LABEL= specification is given.
624 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
625 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
626 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
627 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
628 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
629 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
631 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
632 proceed_question that was busted due to the
633 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
634 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
635 cleared of the previous question's newline.
637 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
639 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
642 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
644 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
645 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
646 manually define optarg and optind.
648 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
651 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
652 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
653 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
654 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
656 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
657 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
659 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
661 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
664 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
666 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
668 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
670 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
671 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
673 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
674 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
675 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
676 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
679 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
680 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
681 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
683 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
685 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
686 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
687 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
688 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
689 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
691 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
692 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
693 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
694 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
695 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
696 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
698 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
700 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
702 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
703 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
704 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
705 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
706 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
708 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
709 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
711 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
713 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
715 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
716 document the -s option.
718 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
720 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
721 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
722 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
723 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
725 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
726 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
727 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
728 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
729 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
730 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
731 Finally, the original data is written back.
733 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
734 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
735 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
736 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
737 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
738 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
739 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
740 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
741 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
742 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
743 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
744 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
745 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
746 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
747 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
749 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
750 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
751 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
754 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
755 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
757 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
758 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
759 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
760 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
761 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
762 and want the host hard drive to flush.
764 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
765 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
766 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
767 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
768 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
769 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
770 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
771 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
774 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
775 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
776 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
777 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
778 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
779 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
780 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
781 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
782 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
783 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
784 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
785 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
786 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
787 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
790 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
791 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
792 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
793 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
794 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
795 for your information.
797 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
798 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
799 which I install which will write back whatever original
800 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
801 (except SIGKILL, of course).
803 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
804 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
805 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
806 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
807 could learn how to update the manpage and other
808 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
809 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
810 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
811 should be in the distribution."
813 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
815 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
816 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
817 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
819 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
821 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
822 option is properly named.
824 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
826 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
827 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
828 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
830 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
832 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
833 the source directory.
835 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
837 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
839 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
841 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
842 filesystem option is properly named.
844 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
846 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
847 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
848 fsck -As can do so interactively.
850 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
852 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
854 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
856 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
857 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
858 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
860 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
861 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
862 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
863 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
865 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
866 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
867 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
870 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
871 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
872 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
873 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
876 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
877 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
879 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
881 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
883 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
884 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
885 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
887 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
888 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
891 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
893 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
895 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
897 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
898 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
899 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
900 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
902 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
903 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
904 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
905 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
907 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
909 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
910 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
911 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
912 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
913 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
915 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
917 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
918 changing the sparse superblock option
920 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
921 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
922 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
925 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
927 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
928 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
930 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
932 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
935 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
938 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
939 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
942 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
945 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
947 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
950 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
952 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
954 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
956 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
957 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
958 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
959 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
960 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
961 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
962 the filesystem the system would make.
964 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
966 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
967 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
968 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
969 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
970 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
972 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
974 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
975 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
976 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
978 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
980 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
981 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
983 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
985 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
986 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
987 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
988 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
989 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
990 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
992 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
993 UUID=bar type specifications.
995 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
997 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
998 clear out a large block number.
1000 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1002 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1003 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1005 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1007 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1008 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1010 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1012 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1015 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1017 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1018 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1019 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1020 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1022 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1024 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1027 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1029 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1030 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1032 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1034 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1035 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1036 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1037 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1039 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1041 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1042 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1043 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1044 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1045 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1046 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1048 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1050 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1051 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1052 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1053 fsck pass structure.
1054 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1055 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1058 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1060 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
1062 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1064 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
1067 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1069 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1070 needs to be treated as zero.
1072 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1074 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1075 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1077 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1078 program if the -V option is given.
1080 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1081 through a directory.
1083 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1085 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1086 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1088 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1089 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1091 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1093 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1094 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1096 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1098 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
1100 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1102 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1103 seperated", instead of common separated)
1105 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1107 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1109 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1111 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1112 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1113 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1115 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1117 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1119 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1120 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1121 things look nice on an 80 character display.
1123 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1125 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage
1128 1998-07-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1130 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.12
1132 1998-07-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1134 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
1135 being written by e2fsprogs.
1137 1998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1139 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
1141 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
1142 * tune2fs.c (usage):
1144 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
1145 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
1147 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
1148 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1151 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1153 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number

1164 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1165 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1166 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1167 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.

1184 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1187 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1188 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1189 that the label will be truncated.
1191 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1192 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1193 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
1195 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1197 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning

1208 of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or
1211 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
1212 bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the
1215 Mon Dec 1 17:01:04 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1217 * badblocks.8.in: Add documentation for the -s option.
1219 Fri Oct 24 23:37:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1226 * badblocks.c (main):
1227 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1228 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
1229 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
1232 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1234 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
1235 to fix a -Wall warning.
1237 Mon Sep 15 22:07:12 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1240 * mklost+found.c (main):
1242 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1244 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
1245 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
1246 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
1249 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1251 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which
1252 provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem
1255 * Makefile.in (SPROGS): Add Makefile support to build e2label

1261 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1263 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
1264 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
1265 80 columns when making a really big disk.
1267 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1269 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
1270 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
1271 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
1273 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
1274 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
1275 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
1277 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1279 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.10
1281 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1283 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
1284 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
1285 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1286 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1289 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1290 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1292 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1294 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
1295 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
1298 Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1300 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.09
1302 Fri Apr 11 18:57:24 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1321 * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
1322 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
1324 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
1325 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
1326 sparse superblock flag is set.
1327 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
1328 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
1331 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1333 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
1335 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1337 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and
1338 i_gid to be the real user and group id.
1340 Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1342 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error

1352 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
1353 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
1354 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
1357 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1359 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
1361 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
1363 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1365 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that
1366 they frequently update the block number field.
1368 * badblocks.8.in: Document the optional start-block parameter
1370 Mon Oct 14 11:52:58 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1396 current number of mounts.
1397 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
1398 mostly for debugging.
1400 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1402 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.

1413 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
1415 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1418 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1419 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1420 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1423 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1424 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1425 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1426 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1429 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1431 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1432 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1433 and no version number is specified.
1435 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1437 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
1439 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1441 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
1444 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1446 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1448 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1450 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1451 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1453 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1455 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1457 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1460 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1462 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1463 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1464 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1465 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1466 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1467 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1468 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1469 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1472 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1474 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1476 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1478 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1479 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1482 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1484 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1485 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1486 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1487 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1488 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1490 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1492 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1495 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1497 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1498 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1500 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1502 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1504 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1506 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1507 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1508 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1510 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1512 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1515 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1517 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1518 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1520 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1521 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1522 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1523 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1525 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1527 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1528 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1529 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1532 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1541 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1543 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1545 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1546 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1547 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1550 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1552 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1554 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1555 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1556 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1558 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1560 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1561 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1562 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1563 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1566 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1567 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1568 alloca is not portable!
1570 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1571 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1574 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1576 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1578 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1581 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1583 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1584 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1586 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1588 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1589 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1591 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1593 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1595 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1596 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1598 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1600 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1602 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1603 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1604 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1605 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1607 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1608 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1609 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1610 statically sized buffer.
1611 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1612 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1614 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1615 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1616 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1617 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1618 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1620 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1621 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1622 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1623 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1626 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1627 support separate compilation directories.
1629 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1631 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1632 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1633 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1634 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1636 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1637 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1638 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1639 very large partition.
1641 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1642 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1643 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1645 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1646 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1647 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1648 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1649 ioctl, which most do.)
1651 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1652 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1653 during 0.5b development.)
1655 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1657 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1658 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1659 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1660 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1663 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1664 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1665 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1667 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1669 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1671 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1672 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1673 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.

1677 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1679 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1681 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1683 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1684 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1685 all partitions should be checked.
1687 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1689 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1692 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1695 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1697 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1698 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.

1704 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1706 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1709 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1711 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1713 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1715 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.

1719 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1721 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1722 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1723 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1724 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1725 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1727 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1728 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1729 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1730 statistics if necessary.
