3 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
4 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
6 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
8 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
9 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
10 is larger than the system's page size according to the
11 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
12 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
13 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
16 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
18 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
20 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
22 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
24 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
26 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
27 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
29 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
31 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
32 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
34 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
36 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
37 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
39 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
41 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
42 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
43 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
44 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
45 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
47 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
49 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
52 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
54 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
55 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
56 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
57 installing the man pages.
59 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
61 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
63 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
65 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
66 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
69 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
72 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
74 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26
76 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
78 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
81 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
82 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
83 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
85 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
87 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
88 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
91 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
93 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
95 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
97 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
99 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
100 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
103 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
105 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
106 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
107 the last checked time on the filesystem.
109 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
111 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
112 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
115 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
116 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
117 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
119 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
120 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
122 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
123 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
124 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
125 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
126 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
128 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
130 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
131 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
132 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
133 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
134 include search path.)
136 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
138 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
139 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
140 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
143 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
145 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
146 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
147 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
149 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
151 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
152 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
153 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
154 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
155 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
157 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
158 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
160 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
163 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
165 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
166 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
167 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
169 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
171 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
174 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
176 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
177 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
179 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
181 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
184 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
186 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
187 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
188 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
189 into a real device name.
191 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
193 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
194 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
195 calls are a good thing. <g>
197 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
199 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
201 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.

205 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
207 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
209 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
212 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
213 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
215 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
217 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
220 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
222 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
224 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>

230 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
232 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
234 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
236 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
237 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
238 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
240 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
242 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
243 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
244 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
245 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
246 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
247 small device (less than 64 blocks).
249 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
251 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
254 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
255 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
256 display, since it only confuses people.
258 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
260 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
263 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
264 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
265 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
267 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
269 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
270 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
271 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
272 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
274 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
275 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
276 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
277 in the ext2 superblock.
279 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
280 malloc'd in interpret spec.
282 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
284 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
286 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
288 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
289 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
292 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
294 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
295 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
296 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
297 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
299 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
300 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
301 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
303 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
304 specified more than once.
306 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
308 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
309 text that erroneously implied that all features
310 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
313 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
315 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
316 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
317 should not be present.
319 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
321 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
323 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
324 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
326 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
328 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
329 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
330 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
331 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
333 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
335 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
336 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
338 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
340 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
341 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
342 blocksize of the new filesystem.
344 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
346 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
347 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
350 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
352 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
353 of the filesystem to determines its type.
355 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
356 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
358 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

371 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
373 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
374 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
375 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
376 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
377 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
379 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
380 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
383 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
384 specified to configure.
386 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
388 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
389 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
391 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
392 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
395 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
396 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
397 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
399 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
401 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
402 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
403 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
405 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
407 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
408 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.

418 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
420 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
421 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
422 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
424 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
425 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
427 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
429 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
430 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
431 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
432 for description of new -t semantics.
434 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
435 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
436 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
438 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
439 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
442 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
444 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
445 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
446 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h

460 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
461 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
463 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
465 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
466 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
467 value depending on if superblock features are set.
469 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
471 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.

487 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
489 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
490 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
491 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
493 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
494 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
496 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
498 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
500 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
501 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
502 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
504 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
505 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
508 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
511 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
513 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
514 the base device, we should assume that the device is
515 already active in order to force serialization.
517 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
519 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
520 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
523 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
525 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
526 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
527 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
528 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
530 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
531 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
532 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
534 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
536 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
537 documentation for the extern journal device support.
539 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
542 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
544 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
545 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
547 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
548 number to be treated as a journal size.
550 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
553 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
554 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
555 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
556 entire device to get zero'ed.
558 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
560 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
561 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
564 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
566 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
567 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
568 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
569 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
570 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
571 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
572 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
573 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
574 using the absolute size of the journal.
576 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
578 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
579 Also handle the case where the default journal size
580 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
581 the filesystem will be checked.
583 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
585 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
587 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
589 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
592 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
593 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
596 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
597 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
599 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
601 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
602 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
603 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
604 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
605 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
606 with the rest of the options out there.)
608 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
609 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
610 from the external journal's filesystem list.
612 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
613 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
614 given a filesystem size.
616 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
619 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
620 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
622 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
624 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
625 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
626 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
628 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
629 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
630 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
631 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
632 have been created via separate step.
634 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
635 information about an external journal device.
637 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
639 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
640 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
641 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
642 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
643 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
644 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
645 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
646 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
648 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
650 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
651 stdout after printing in-progress message.
652 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
653 the mount status of the device.
655 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
657 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
658 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
659 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
660 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
661 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
663 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
666 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
668 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
670 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
671 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
672 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
674 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
676 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
679 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
680 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
683 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
685 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
686 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
688 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
690 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
691 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
692 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
693 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
695 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
696 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
697 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
699 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
700 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
702 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
704 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
705 struct ext2_super_block.
707 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
708 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
709 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
710 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
711 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
712 using our own version now).
714 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
716 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
717 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
718 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
719 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
720 the parallel_root option.
722 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
725 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
726 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
728 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
729 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
730 support for the journaled data flag.
732 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
734 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
736 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
738 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
739 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
741 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
743 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
746 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
747 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
748 instead of core dumping.
750 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
752 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
753 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
754 journal creation routines for this purpose.
756 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
757 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
759 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
760 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
762 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
764 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
765 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
768 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
769 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
771 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
773 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
775 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
776 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
779 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
780 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
781 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
782 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
785 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
786 group names to uid's before storing them in the
787 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
789 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
791 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
792 option=argument style options, and add support for
793 creating filesystems with external journals.
795 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
797 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
799 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
800 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
802 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
804 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
805 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
808 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
811 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
812 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
815 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
816 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
819 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
821 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
824 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
826 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
827 systems with four IDE interfaces.
829 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
831 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
834 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
835 the inode table location in non-hex format.
837 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
839 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
840 we can't find the device using the name given by
841 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
842 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
844 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
846 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
847 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
848 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
850 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
852 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
854 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
856 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
857 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
859 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
861 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
862 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
864 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
866 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
868 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
870 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
871 are mutually exclusive.
873 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
874 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
875 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
878 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
879 variable before going into the write verification loop.
880 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
881 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
882 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
883 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
884 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
885 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
888 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
889 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
890 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
891 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
894 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
896 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
897 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
898 the progress bar display logic.
900 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
901 max_mount_count is negative.
903 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
904 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
907 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
908 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
909 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
910 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
911 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
912 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
914 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
915 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
916 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
918 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
919 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
920 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
923 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
924 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
927 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
929 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
930 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
931 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
932 old, overly complicated logic.
933 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
934 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
935 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
937 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
939 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
940 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
941 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
942 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
944 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
946 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
947 or LABEL= specification is given.
949 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
950 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
951 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
952 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
953 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
954 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
956 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
957 proceed_question that was busted due to the
958 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
959 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
960 cleared of the previous question's newline.
962 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
964 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
967 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
969 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
970 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
971 manually define optarg and optind.
973 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
976 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
977 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
978 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
979 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
981 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
982 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
984 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
986 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
989 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
991 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
993 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
995 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
996 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
998 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
999 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1000 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1001 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1004 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1005 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1006 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1008 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1010 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1011 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1012 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1013 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1014 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1016 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1017 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1018 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1019 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1020 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1021 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1023 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1025 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1027 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1028 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1029 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1030 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1031 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1033 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1034 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1036 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1038 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1040 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1041 document the -s option.
1043 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1045 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1046 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1047 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1048 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1050 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1051 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1052 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1053 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1054 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1055 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1056 Finally, the original data is written back.
1058 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1059 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1060 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1061 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1062 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1063 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1064 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1065 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1066 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1067 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1068 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1069 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1070 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1071 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1072 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1074 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1075 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1076 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1079 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1080 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1082 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1083 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1084 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1085 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1086 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1087 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1089 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1090 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1091 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1092 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1093 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1094 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1095 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1096 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1099 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1100 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1101 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1102 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1103 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1104 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1105 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1106 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1107 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1108 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1109 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1110 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1111 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1112 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1113 completely reliable.
1115 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1116 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1117 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1118 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1119 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1120 for your information.
1122 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1123 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1124 which I install which will write back whatever original
1125 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1126 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1128 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1129 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1130 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1131 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1132 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1133 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1134 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1135 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1136 should be in the distribution."
1138 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1140 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1141 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1142 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1144 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1146 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1147 option is properly named.
1149 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1151 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1152 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1153 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1155 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1157 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1158 the source directory.
1160 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1162 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1164 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1166 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1167 filesystem option is properly named.
1169 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1171 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1172 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1173 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1175 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1177 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1179 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1181 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1182 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1183 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1185 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1186 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1187 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1188 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1190 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1191 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1192 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1195 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1196 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1197 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1198 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1201 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1202 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1204 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1206 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1208 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1209 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1210 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1212 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1213 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1216 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1218 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1220 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1222 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1223 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1224 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1225 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1227 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1228 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1229 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1230 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1232 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1234 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1235 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1236 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1237 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1238 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1240 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1242 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1243 changing the sparse superblock option
1245 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1246 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1247 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1250 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1252 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1253 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1255 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1257 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1260 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1263 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1264 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1267 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1270 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1272 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1275 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1277 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1279 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1281 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1282 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1283 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1284 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1285 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1286 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1287 the filesystem the system would make.
1289 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1291 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1292 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1293 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1294 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1295 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1297 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1299 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1300 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1301 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1303 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1305 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1306 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1308 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1310 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1311 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1312 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1313 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1314 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1315 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1317 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1318 UUID=bar type specifications.
1320 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1322 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1323 clear out a large block number.
1325 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1327 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1328 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1330 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1332 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1333 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1335 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1337 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1340 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1342 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1343 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1344 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1345 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1347 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1349 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1352 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1354 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1355 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1357 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1359 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1360 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1361 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1362 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1364 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1366 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1367 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1368 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1369 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1370 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1371 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1373 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1375 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1376 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1377 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1378 fsck pass structure.
1379 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1380 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1383 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1392 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1394 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1395 needs to be treated as zero.
1397 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1399 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1400 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1402 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1403 program if the -V option is given.
1405 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1406 through a directory.
1408 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1410 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1411 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1413 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1414 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1416 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1418 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1419 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1421 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1423 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
1425 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1427 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1428 seperated", instead of common separated)
1430 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1432 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1434 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1436 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1437 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1438 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1440 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1442 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1444 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1445 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1446 things look nice on an 80 character display.
1448 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1450 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage

1467 * tune2fs.c (usage):
1469 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
1470 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
1472 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
1473 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1476 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1478 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
1481 1998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1486 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1488 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
1489 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1490 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1491 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1492 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
1494 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1496 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.

1503 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
1505 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
1508 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1509 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1512 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1513 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1514 that the label will be truncated.
1516 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1517 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1518 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
1520 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1522 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning

1554 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
1557 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1559 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,

1565 * mklost+found.c (main):
1567 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1569 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
1570 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some

1574 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1576 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which
1577 provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem
1580 * Makefile.in (SPROGS): Add Makefile support to build e2label
1582 Tue Jun 17 01:33:20 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1586 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1588 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
1589 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
1590 80 columns when making a really big disk.
1592 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1596 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
1598 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
1599 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
1600 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
1602 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>

1608 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
1609 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
1610 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1611 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1614 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1615 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1617 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1619 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not

1630 specified everywhere.
1632 * chattr.c (usage): Added usage message for the 'A' attribute.
1634 Fri Apr 11 18:56:26 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1636 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.08
1638 Thu Apr 10 07:08:03 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1640 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): List the offsets of the inode and block

1652 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
1653 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
1656 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1658 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
1660 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1662 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and
1663 i_gid to be the real user and group id.
1665 Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1667 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error
1668 messages when the device doesn't exist.

1691 they frequently update the block number field.
1693 * badblocks.8.in: Document the optional start-block parameter
1695 Mon Oct 14 11:52:58 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1697 * mke2fs.c: Updated to use new ext2fs_allocate_tables() function.
1699 Tue Oct 8 02:02:03 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1701 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.06

1707 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Change EXT2_SWAP to EXT2_FLAG_SWAP for
1710 Sun Sep 22 16:18:47 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1712 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Add support for the 'A' (noatime) flag.

1718 Sat Sep 7 07:34:11 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1720 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support for new option -C, which sets the
1721 current number of mounts.
1722 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
1723 mostly for debugging.
1725 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1727 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.
1728 (SPROGS): Use @FSCK_PROG@ instead of fsck.
1730 Thu Aug 22 00:51:44 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1732 * mke2fs.c (zap_bootblock): Don't do zap_bootblock on a
1735 Tue Aug 20 00:15:46 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1737 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
1738 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
1740 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1743 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1744 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1745 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1748 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1749 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1750 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1751 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1754 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1756 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1757 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1758 and no version number is specified.
1760 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1762 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
1764 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1766 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
1769 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1771 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1773 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1775 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1776 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1778 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1780 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1782 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1785 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1787 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1788 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1789 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1790 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1791 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1792 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1793 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1794 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1797 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1799 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1801 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1803 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1804 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1807 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1809 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1810 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1811 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1812 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1813 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1815 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1817 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1820 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1822 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1823 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1825 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1827 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1829 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1831 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1832 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1833 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1835 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1837 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1840 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1842 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1843 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1845 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1846 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1847 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1848 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1850 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1852 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1853 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1854 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1857 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1866 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1868 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1870 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1871 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1872 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1875 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1877 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1879 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1880 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1881 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1883 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1885 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1886 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1887 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1888 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1891 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1892 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1893 alloca is not portable!
1895 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1896 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1899 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1901 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1903 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1906 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1908 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1909 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1911 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1913 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1914 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1916 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1918 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1920 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1921 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1923 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1925 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1927 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1928 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1929 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1930 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1932 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1933 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1934 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1935 statically sized buffer.
1936 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1937 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1939 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1940 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1941 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1942 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1943 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1945 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1946 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1947 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1948 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1951 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1952 support separate compilation directories.
1954 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1956 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1957 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1958 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1959 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1961 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1962 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1963 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1964 very large partition.
1966 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1967 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1968 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1970 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1971 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1972 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1973 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1974 ioctl, which most do.)
1976 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1977 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1978 during 0.5b development.)
1980 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1982 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1983 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1984 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1985 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1988 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1989 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1990 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1992 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1994 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1996 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1997 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1998 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2000 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2002 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2004 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2006 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2008 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2009 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2010 all partitions should be checked.
2012 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2014 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2017 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2020 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2022 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2023 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2025 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2027 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2029 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2031 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2034 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2036 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2038 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2040 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2042 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2044 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2046 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2047 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2048 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2049 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2050 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2052 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2053 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2054 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2055 statistics if necessary.
