1 2002-10-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
3 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
4 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
5 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
6 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
9 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
11 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
12 if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
13 will still print out the contents of the block group
16 2002-10-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
18 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), mke2fs.c (PRS), e2image.c
19 (mark_table_blocks): Add support for the meta_blockgroup
22 2002-10-15 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
24 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (update_mntopts, main): Add new option
25 'o' which allows the system administrator to specify
26 default mount options.
28 2002-10-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
30 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Use a 16k buffer to
31 read in /proc/partitions in one go.
33 * badblocks.c, fsck.c, fstype.c, get_device_by_label.c,
34 tune2fs.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
36 2002-10-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

39 created with 0700 permissions.
41 2002-10-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
43 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Handle a bad block in the
44 inode table correctly.
46 2002-09-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
48 * get_device_by_label.c: Applied sourceforge patch #613447, which
49 adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
52 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
53 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows
54 badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
57 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
59 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
60 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
61 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
62 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
64 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
66 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
68 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
70 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
71 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
72 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
73 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
74 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
76 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
78 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
80 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to
81 be set. If so, set the default hash to be TEA, and
82 initialize the hash seed to a random value.
84 2002-09-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
86 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Fix bug which caused
87 LABEL='xxx' to not work correctly when using LVM.

90 2001-08-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
92 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.28
94 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
96 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
98 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
99 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
100 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
102 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
103 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
104 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
105 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
108 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
111 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
112 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
114 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive
115 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
118 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
119 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
120 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)
122 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page, and clarified text regarding
123 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
126 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
127 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
130 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
132 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
133 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
135 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
137 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
139 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
140 child fsck processes.
142 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
144 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
145 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
146 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
148 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
150 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
151 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
152 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
154 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
156 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)

165 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
167 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
169 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
170 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
172 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
174 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
175 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
176 is larger than the system's page size according to the
177 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
178 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
179 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
182 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
184 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
186 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
188 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
190 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
192 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
193 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
195 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
197 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
198 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
200 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
202 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
203 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
205 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
207 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
208 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
209 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
210 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
211 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
213 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
215 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
218 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
220 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
221 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
222 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
223 installing the man pages.
225 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
227 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
229 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
231 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
232 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
235 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
238 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
240 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26

244 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
247 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
248 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
249 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
251 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
253 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
254 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
255 envrionment variable.
257 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
259 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
261 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
263 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
265 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
266 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
269 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
271 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
272 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
273 the last checked time on the filesystem.
275 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
277 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
278 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
281 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
282 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
283 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
285 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
286 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
288 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
289 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
290 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
291 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
292 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
294 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
296 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
297 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
298 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
299 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
300 include search path.)
302 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
304 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
305 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
306 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
309 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
311 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
312 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
313 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
315 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
317 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
318 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
319 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
320 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
321 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
323 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
324 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
326 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
329 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
331 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
332 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
333 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
335 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
337 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
340 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
342 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
343 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
345 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
347 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
350 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
352 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
353 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
354 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
355 into a real device name.
357 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
359 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
360 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
361 calls are a good thing. <g>
363 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
365 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
367 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.

371 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
373 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
375 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
378 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
379 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
381 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
383 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
386 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
388 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
390 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
392 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.

396 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
398 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
400 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
402 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
403 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
404 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
406 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
408 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
409 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
410 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
411 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
412 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
413 small device (less than 64 blocks).
415 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
417 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
420 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
421 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
422 display, since it only confuses people.
424 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
426 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
429 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
430 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
431 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
433 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
435 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
436 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
437 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
438 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
440 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
441 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
442 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
443 in the ext2 superblock.
445 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
446 malloc'd in interpret spec.
448 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
450 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
452 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
454 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
455 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
458 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
460 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
461 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
462 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
463 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
465 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
466 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
467 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
469 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
470 specified more than once.
472 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
474 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
475 text that erroneously implied that all features
476 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
479 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
481 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
482 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
483 should not be present.
485 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
487 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
489 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
490 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
492 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
494 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
495 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
496 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
497 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
499 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
501 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
502 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
504 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
506 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
507 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
508 blocksize of the new filesystem.
510 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
512 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
513 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
516 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
518 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
519 of the filesystem to determines its type.
521 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
522 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
524 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
526 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
528 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

537 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
539 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
540 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
541 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
542 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
543 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
545 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
546 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
549 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
550 specified to configure.
552 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
554 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
555 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
557 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
558 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
561 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
562 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
563 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
565 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
567 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
568 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
569 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
571 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
573 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
574 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.

582 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
584 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
586 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
587 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
588 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
590 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
591 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
593 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
595 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
596 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
597 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
598 for description of new -t semantics.
600 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
601 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
602 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
604 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
605 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
608 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
610 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
611 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
612 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
614 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
617 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
619 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
620 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
622 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
624 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
626 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
627 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
629 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
631 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
632 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
633 value depending on if superblock features are set.
635 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
637 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
639 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
640 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
641 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
643 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
646 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
648 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
650 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
652 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
653 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
655 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
656 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
657 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
659 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
660 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
662 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
664 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
666 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
667 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
668 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
670 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
671 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
674 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
677 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
679 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
680 the base device, we should assume that the device is
681 already active in order to force serialization.
683 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
685 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
686 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
689 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
691 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
692 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
693 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
694 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
696 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
697 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
698 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
700 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
702 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
703 documentation for the extern journal device support.
705 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
708 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
710 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
711 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
713 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
714 number to be treated as a journal size.
716 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
719 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
720 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
721 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
722 entire device to get zero'ed.
724 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
726 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
727 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
730 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
732 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
733 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
734 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
735 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
736 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
737 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
738 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
739 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
740 using the absolute size of the journal.
742 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
744 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
745 Also handle the case where the default journal size
746 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
747 the filesystem will be checked.
749 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
751 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
753 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
755 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
758 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
759 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
762 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
763 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
765 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
767 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
768 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
769 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
770 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
771 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
772 with the rest of the options out there.)
774 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
775 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
776 from the external journal's filesystem list.
778 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
779 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
780 given a filesystem size.
782 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
785 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
786 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
788 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
790 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
791 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
792 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
794 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
795 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
796 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
797 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
798 have been created via separate step.
800 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
801 information about an external journal device.
803 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
805 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
806 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
807 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
808 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
809 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
810 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
811 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
812 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
814 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
816 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
817 stdout after printing in-progress message.
818 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
819 the mount status of the device.
821 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
823 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
824 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
825 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
826 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
827 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
829 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
832 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
834 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
836 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
837 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
838 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
840 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
842 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
845 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
846 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
849 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
851 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
852 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
854 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
856 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
857 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
858 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
859 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
861 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
862 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
863 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
865 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
866 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
868 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
870 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
871 struct ext2_super_block.
873 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
874 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
875 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
876 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
877 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
878 using our own version now).
880 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
882 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
883 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
884 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
885 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
886 the parallel_root option.
888 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
891 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
892 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
894 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
895 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
896 support for the journaled data flag.
898 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
900 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
902 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
904 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
905 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
907 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
909 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
912 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
913 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
914 instead of core dumping.
916 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
918 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
919 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
920 journal creation routines for this purpose.
922 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
923 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
925 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
926 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
928 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
930 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
931 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
934 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
935 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
937 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
939 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
941 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
942 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
945 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
946 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
947 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
948 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
951 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
952 group names to uid's before storing them in the
953 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
955 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
957 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
958 option=argument style options, and add support for
959 creating filesystems with external journals.
961 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
963 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
965 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
966 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
968 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
970 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
971 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
974 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
977 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
978 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
981 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
982 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
985 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
987 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
990 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
992 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
993 systems with four IDE interfaces.
995 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
997 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1000 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1001 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1003 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1005 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1006 we can't find the device using the name given by
1007 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1008 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1010 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1012 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1013 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1014 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1016 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1018 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1020 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1022 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1023 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1025 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1027 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1028 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1030 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1032 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1034 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1036 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1037 are mutually exclusive.
1039 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1040 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1041 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1044 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1045 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1046 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1047 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1048 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1049 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1050 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1051 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1054 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1055 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1056 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1057 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1060 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1062 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1063 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1064 the progress bar display logic.
1066 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1067 max_mount_count is negative.
1069 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1070 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1073 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1074 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1075 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1076 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1077 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1078 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1080 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1081 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1082 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1084 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1085 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1086 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1089 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1090 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1091 device as a default.
1093 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1095 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1096 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1097 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1098 old, overly complicated logic.
1099 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1100 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1101 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1103 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1105 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1106 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1107 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1108 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1110 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1112 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1113 or LABEL= specification is given.
1115 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1116 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1117 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1118 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1119 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1120 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1122 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1123 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1124 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1125 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1126 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1128 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1130 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1131 support fdatasync().
1133 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1135 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1136 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1137 manually define optarg and optind.
1139 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1142 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1143 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1144 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1145 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1147 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1148 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1150 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1152 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1155 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1157 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1159 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1161 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1162 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1164 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1165 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1166 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1167 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1170 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1171 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1172 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1174 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1176 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1177 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1178 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1179 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1180 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1182 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1183 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1184 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1185 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1186 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1187 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1189 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1191 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1193 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1194 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1195 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1196 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1197 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1199 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1200 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1202 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1204 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1206 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1207 document the -s option.
1209 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1211 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1212 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1213 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1214 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1216 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1217 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1218 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1219 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1220 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1221 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1222 Finally, the original data is written back.
1224 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1225 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1226 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1227 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1228 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1229 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1230 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1231 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1232 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1233 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1234 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1235 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1236 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1237 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1238 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1240 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1241 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1242 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1245 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1246 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1248 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1249 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1250 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1251 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1252 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1253 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1255 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1256 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1257 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1258 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1259 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1260 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1261 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1262 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1265 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1266 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1267 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1268 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1269 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1270 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1271 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1272 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1273 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1274 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1275 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1276 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1277 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1278 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1279 completely reliable.
1281 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1282 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1283 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1284 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1285 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1286 for your information.
1288 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1289 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1290 which I install which will write back whatever original
1291 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1292 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1294 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1295 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1296 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1297 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1298 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1299 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1300 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1301 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1302 should be in the distribution."
1304 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1306 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1307 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1308 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1310 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1312 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1313 option is properly named.
1315 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1317 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1318 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1319 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1321 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1323 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1324 the source directory.
1326 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1328 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1330 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1332 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1333 filesystem option is properly named.
1335 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1337 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1338 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1339 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1341 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1343 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1345 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1347 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1348 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1349 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1351 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1352 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1353 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1354 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1356 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1357 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1358 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1361 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1362 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1363 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1364 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1367 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1368 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1370 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1372 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1374 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1375 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1376 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1378 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1379 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1382 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1384 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1386 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1388 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1389 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1390 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1391 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1393 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1394 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1395 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1396 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1398 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1400 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1401 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1402 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1403 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1404 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1406 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1408 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1409 changing the sparse superblock option
1411 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1412 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1413 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1416 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1418 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1419 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1421 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1423 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1426 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1429 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1430 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1433 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1436 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1438 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1441 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1443 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1445 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1447 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1448 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1449 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1450 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1451 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1452 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1453 the filesystem the system would make.
1455 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1457 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1458 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1459 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1460 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1461 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1463 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1465 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1466 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1467 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1469 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1471 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1472 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1474 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1476 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1477 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1478 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1479 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1480 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1481 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1483 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1484 UUID=bar type specifications.
1486 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1488 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1489 clear out a large block number.
1491 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1493 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1494 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1496 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1498 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1499 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1501 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1503 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1506 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1508 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1509 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1510 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1511 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1513 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1515 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1518 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1520 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1521 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1523 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1525 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1526 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1527 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1528 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1530 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1532 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1533 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1534 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1535 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1536 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1537 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1539 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1541 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1542 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1543 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1544 fsck pass structure.
1545 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1546 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1549 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1551 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
1553 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1555 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
1558 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1560 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1561 needs to be treated as zero.
1563 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1565 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1566 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1568 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1569 program if the -V option is given.
1571 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1572 through a directory.
1574 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1576 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1577 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1579 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1580 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1582 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1584 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1585 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1587 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1589 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
1591 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1593 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1594 seperated", instead of common separated)
1596 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1598 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1600 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1602 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1603 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1604 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1606 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1608 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1610 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1611 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1612 things look nice on an 80 character display.
1614 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1616 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage
1619 1998-07-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1621 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.12
1623 1998-07-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1625 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
1626 being written by e2fsprogs.
1628 1998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1630 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
1632 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
1633 * tune2fs.c (usage):
1635 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
1636 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
1638 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
1639 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1642 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1644 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
1647 1998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1649 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove check for filesystems with the noauto
1652 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1654 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
1655 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1656 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1657 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1658 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
1660 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1662 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.
1664 * e2label.c: Fix -Wall warning by making functions static.
1666 1998-03-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1668 * chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may
1669 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
1671 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
1674 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1675 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1678 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1679 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1680 that the label will be truncated.
1682 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1683 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1684 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
1686 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1688 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning
1689 message. Fixed up -Wall warnings in file.
1691 Sun Mar 8 22:21:48 1998 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1693 * partinfo.c (main): The ioctl BLKGETSIZE requires a long, not an
1696 Sun Feb 1 16:53:36 1998 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1699 of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or
1702 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
1703 bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the
1706 Mon Dec 1 17:01:04 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1708 * badblocks.8.in: Add documentation for the -s option.
1710 Fri Oct 24 23:37:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1713 * chattr.c: Remove #include of getopt.h, since it's not needed.
1717 * badblocks.c (main):
1718 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1719 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
1720 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
1723 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1725 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
1726 to fix a -Wall warning.
1728 Mon Sep 15 22:07:12 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1731 * mklost+found.c (main):
1733 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1735 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
1736 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
1737 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
1740 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1742 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which

1754 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
1755 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
1756 80 columns when making a really big disk.
1758 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1760 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
1761 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
1762 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
1764 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
1765 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
1766 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
1768 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1770 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.10
1772 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1774 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
1775 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
1776 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1777 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1780 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1781 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1783 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1785 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
1786 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
1789 Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1791 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.09
1793 Fri Apr 11 18:57:24 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1812 * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
1813 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
1815 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
1816 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
1817 sparse superblock flag is set.
1818 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
1819 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
1822 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1824 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
1826 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1828 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and
1829 i_gid to be the real user and group id.
1831 Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1833 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error

1843 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
1844 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
1845 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
1848 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1850 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
1852 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
1854 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1856 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that
1857 they frequently update the block number field.
1859 * badblocks.8.in: Document the optional start-block parameter
1861 Mon Oct 14 11:52:58 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1887 current number of mounts.
1888 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
1889 mostly for debugging.
1891 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1893 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.

1903 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
1904 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
1906 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1909 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1910 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1911 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1914 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1915 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1916 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1917 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1920 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1922 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1923 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1924 and no version number is specified.
1926 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1928 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
1930 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1932 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
1935 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1937 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1939 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1941 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1942 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1944 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1946 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1948 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1951 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1953 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1954 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1955 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1956 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1957 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1958 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1959 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1960 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1963 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1965 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1967 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1969 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1970 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1973 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1975 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1976 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1977 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1978 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1979 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1981 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1983 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1986 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1988 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1989 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1991 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1993 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1995 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1997 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1998 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1999 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
2001 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2003 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
2006 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2008 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
2009 function to determine if the device is mounted.
2011 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
2012 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
2013 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
2014 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
2016 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2018 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
2019 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
2020 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
2023 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2032 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
2034 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2036 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
2037 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
2038 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
2041 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
2043 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2045 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2046 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
2047 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
2049 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2051 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2052 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2053 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2054 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2057 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2058 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
2059 alloca is not portable!
2061 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
2062 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2065 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
2067 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
2069 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
2072 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
2074 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2075 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
2077 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2079 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2080 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
2082 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2084 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2086 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2087 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2089 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2091 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2093 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
2094 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
2095 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
2096 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2098 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
2099 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2100 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2101 statically sized buffer.
2102 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2103 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2105 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2106 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2107 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2108 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2109 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2111 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2112 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2113 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2114 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2117 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2118 support separate compilation directories.
2120 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2122 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2123 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2124 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2125 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2127 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2128 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2129 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2130 very large partition.
2132 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2133 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2134 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2136 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2137 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2138 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2139 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2140 ioctl, which most do.)
2142 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2143 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2144 during 0.5b development.)
2146 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2148 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2149 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2150 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2151 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2154 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2155 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2156 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2158 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2160 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2162 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2163 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2164 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2166 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2168 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2170 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2172 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2174 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2175 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2176 all partitions should be checked.
2178 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2180 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2183 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2186 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2188 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2189 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2191 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2193 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2195 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2197 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2200 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2202 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2204 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2206 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2208 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2210 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2212 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2213 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2214 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2215 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2216 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2218 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2219 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2220 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2221 statistics if necessary.
