3 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
4 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows
5 badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
8 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
10 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
11 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
12 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
13 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
15 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
17 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
19 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
21 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
22 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
23 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
24 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
25 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
27 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
29 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
31 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to
32 be set. If so, set the default hash to be TEA, and
33 initialize the hash seed to a random value.
35 2002-09-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
37 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Fix bug which caused
38 LABEL='xxx' to not work correctly when using LVM.
39 (Reversed sense of error check reported by ateeq@hotpop.com)
41 2001-08-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
43 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.28
45 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
47 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
49 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
50 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
51 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
53 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
54 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
55 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
56 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
59 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
62 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
63 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
65 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive
66 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
69 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
70 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
71 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)
73 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page, and clarified text regarding
74 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
77 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
78 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
81 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
83 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
84 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
86 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
88 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
90 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
93 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
95 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
96 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
97 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
99 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
101 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
102 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
103 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
105 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
107 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)

116 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
118 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
120 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
121 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
123 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
125 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
126 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
127 is larger than the system's page size according to the
128 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
129 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
130 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
133 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
135 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
137 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
139 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
141 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
143 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
144 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
146 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
148 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
149 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
151 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
153 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
154 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
156 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
158 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
159 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
160 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
161 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
162 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
164 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
166 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
169 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
171 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
172 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
173 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
174 installing the man pages.
176 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
178 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
180 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
182 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
183 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
186 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
189 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
191 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26
193 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
195 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
198 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
199 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
200 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
202 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
204 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
205 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
206 envrionment variable.
208 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
210 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
212 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
214 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
216 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
217 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
220 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
222 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
223 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
224 the last checked time on the filesystem.
226 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
228 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
229 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
232 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
233 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
234 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
236 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
237 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
239 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
240 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
241 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
242 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
243 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
245 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
247 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
248 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
249 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
250 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
251 include search path.)
253 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
255 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
256 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
257 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
260 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
262 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
263 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
264 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
266 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
268 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
269 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
270 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
271 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
272 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
274 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
275 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
277 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
280 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
282 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
283 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
284 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
286 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
288 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
291 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
293 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
294 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
296 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
298 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
301 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
303 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
304 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
305 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
306 into a real device name.
308 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
310 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
311 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
312 calls are a good thing. <g>
314 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
316 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
318 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.

322 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
324 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
326 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
329 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
330 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
332 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
334 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
337 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
339 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
341 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>

347 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
349 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
351 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
353 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
354 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
355 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
357 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
359 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
360 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
361 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
362 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
363 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
364 small device (less than 64 blocks).
366 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
368 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
371 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
372 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
373 display, since it only confuses people.
375 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
377 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
380 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
381 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
382 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
384 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
386 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
387 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
388 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
389 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
391 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
392 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
393 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
394 in the ext2 superblock.
396 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
397 malloc'd in interpret spec.
399 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
401 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
403 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
405 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
406 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
409 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
411 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
412 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
413 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
414 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
416 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
417 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
418 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
420 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
421 specified more than once.
423 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
425 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
426 text that erroneously implied that all features
427 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
430 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
432 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
433 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
434 should not be present.
436 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
438 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
440 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
441 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
443 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
445 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
446 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
447 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
448 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
450 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
452 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
453 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
455 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
457 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
458 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
459 blocksize of the new filesystem.
461 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
463 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
464 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
467 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
469 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
470 of the filesystem to determines its type.
472 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
473 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
475 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

488 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
490 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
491 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
492 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
493 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
494 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
496 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
497 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
500 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
501 specified to configure.
503 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
505 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
506 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
508 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
509 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
512 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
513 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
514 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
516 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
518 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
519 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
520 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
522 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
524 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
525 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.

535 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
537 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
538 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
539 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
541 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
542 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
544 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
546 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
547 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
548 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
549 for description of new -t semantics.
551 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
552 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
553 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
555 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
556 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
559 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
561 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
562 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
563 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
565 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
568 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>

578 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
580 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
582 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
583 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
584 value depending on if superblock features are set.
586 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
588 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
590 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
591 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
592 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
594 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
597 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
599 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
601 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
603 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
604 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
606 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
607 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
608 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
610 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
611 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
613 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
615 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
617 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
618 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
619 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
621 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
622 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
625 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
628 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
630 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
631 the base device, we should assume that the device is
632 already active in order to force serialization.
634 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
636 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
637 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
640 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
642 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
643 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
644 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
645 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
647 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
648 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
649 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
651 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
653 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
654 documentation for the extern journal device support.
656 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
659 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
661 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
662 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
664 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
665 number to be treated as a journal size.
667 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
670 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
671 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
672 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
673 entire device to get zero'ed.
675 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
677 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
678 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
681 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
683 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
684 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
685 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
686 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
687 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
688 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
689 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
690 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
691 using the absolute size of the journal.
693 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
695 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
696 Also handle the case where the default journal size
697 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
698 the filesystem will be checked.
700 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
702 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
704 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
706 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
709 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
710 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
713 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
714 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
716 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
718 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
719 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
720 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
721 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
722 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
723 with the rest of the options out there.)
725 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
726 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
727 from the external journal's filesystem list.
729 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
730 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
731 given a filesystem size.
733 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
736 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
737 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
739 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
741 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
742 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
743 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
745 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
746 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
747 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
748 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
749 have been created via separate step.
751 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
752 information about an external journal device.
754 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
756 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
757 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
758 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
759 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
760 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
761 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
762 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
763 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
765 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
767 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
768 stdout after printing in-progress message.
769 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
770 the mount status of the device.
772 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
774 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
775 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
776 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
777 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
778 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
780 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
783 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
785 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
787 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
788 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
789 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
791 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
793 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
796 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
797 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
800 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
802 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
803 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
805 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
807 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
808 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
809 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
810 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
812 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
813 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
814 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
816 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
817 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
819 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
821 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
822 struct ext2_super_block.
824 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
825 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
826 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
827 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
828 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
829 using our own version now).
831 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
833 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
834 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
835 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
836 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
837 the parallel_root option.
839 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
842 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
843 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
845 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
846 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
847 support for the journaled data flag.
849 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
851 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
853 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
855 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
856 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
858 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
860 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
863 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
864 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
865 instead of core dumping.
867 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
869 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
870 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
871 journal creation routines for this purpose.
873 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
874 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
876 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
877 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
879 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
881 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
882 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
885 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
886 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
888 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
890 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
892 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
893 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
896 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
897 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
898 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
899 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
902 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
903 group names to uid's before storing them in the
904 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
906 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
908 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
909 option=argument style options, and add support for
910 creating filesystems with external journals.
912 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
914 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
916 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
917 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
919 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
921 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
922 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
925 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
928 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
929 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
932 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
933 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
936 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
938 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
941 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
943 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
944 systems with four IDE interfaces.
946 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
948 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
951 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
952 the inode table location in non-hex format.
954 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
956 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
957 we can't find the device using the name given by
958 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
959 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
961 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
963 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
964 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
965 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
967 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
969 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
971 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
973 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
974 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
976 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
978 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
979 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
981 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
983 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
985 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
987 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
988 are mutually exclusive.
990 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
991 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
992 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
995 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
996 variable before going into the write verification loop.
997 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
998 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
999 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1000 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1001 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1002 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1005 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1006 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1007 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1008 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1011 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1013 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1014 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1015 the progress bar display logic.
1017 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1018 max_mount_count is negative.
1020 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1021 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1024 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1025 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1026 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1027 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1028 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1029 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1031 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1032 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1033 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1035 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1036 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1037 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1040 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1041 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1042 device as a default.
1044 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1046 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1047 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1048 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1049 old, overly complicated logic.
1050 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1051 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1052 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1054 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1056 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1057 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1058 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1059 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1061 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1063 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1064 or LABEL= specification is given.
1066 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1067 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1068 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1069 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1070 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1071 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1073 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1074 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1075 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1076 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1077 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1079 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1081 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1082 support fdatasync().
1084 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1086 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1087 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1088 manually define optarg and optind.
1090 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1093 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1094 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1095 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1096 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1098 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1099 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1101 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1103 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1106 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1108 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1110 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1112 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1113 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1115 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1116 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1117 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1118 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1121 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1122 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1123 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1125 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1127 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1128 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1129 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1130 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1131 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1133 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1134 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1135 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1136 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1137 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1138 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1140 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1142 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1144 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1145 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1146 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1147 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1148 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1150 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1151 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1153 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1155 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1157 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1158 document the -s option.
1160 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1162 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1163 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1164 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1165 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1167 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1168 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1169 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1170 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1171 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1172 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1173 Finally, the original data is written back.
1175 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1176 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1177 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1178 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1179 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1180 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1181 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1182 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1183 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1184 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1185 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1186 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1187 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1188 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1189 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1191 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1192 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1193 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1196 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1197 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1199 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1200 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1201 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1202 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1203 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1204 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1206 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1207 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1208 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1209 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1210 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1211 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1212 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1213 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1216 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1217 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1218 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1219 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1220 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1221 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1222 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1223 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1224 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1225 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1226 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1227 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1228 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1229 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1230 completely reliable.
1232 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1233 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1234 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1235 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1236 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1237 for your information.
1239 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1240 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1241 which I install which will write back whatever original
1242 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1243 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1245 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1246 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1247 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1248 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1249 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1250 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1251 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1252 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1253 should be in the distribution."
1255 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1257 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1258 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1259 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1261 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1263 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1264 option is properly named.
1266 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1268 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1269 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1270 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1272 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1274 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1275 the source directory.
1277 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1279 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1281 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1283 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1284 filesystem option is properly named.
1286 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1288 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1289 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1290 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1292 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1294 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1296 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1298 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1299 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1300 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1302 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1303 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1304 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1305 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1307 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1308 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1309 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1312 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1313 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1314 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1315 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1318 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1319 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1321 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1323 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1325 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1326 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1327 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1329 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1330 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1333 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1335 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1337 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1339 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1340 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1341 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1342 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1344 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1345 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1346 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1347 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1349 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1351 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1352 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1353 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1354 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1355 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1357 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1359 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1360 changing the sparse superblock option
1362 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1363 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1364 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1367 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1369 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1370 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1372 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1374 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1377 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1380 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1381 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1384 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1387 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1389 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1392 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1394 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1396 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1398 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1399 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1400 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1401 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1402 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1403 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1404 the filesystem the system would make.
1406 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1408 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1409 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1410 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1411 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1412 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1414 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1416 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1417 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1418 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1420 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1422 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1423 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1425 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1427 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1428 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1429 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1430 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1431 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1432 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1434 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1435 UUID=bar type specifications.
1437 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1439 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1440 clear out a large block number.
1442 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1444 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1445 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1447 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1449 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1450 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1452 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1454 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1457 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1459 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1460 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1461 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1462 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1464 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1466 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1469 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1471 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1472 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1474 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1476 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1477 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1478 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1479 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1481 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1483 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1484 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1485 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1486 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1487 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1488 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1490 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1492 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1493 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1494 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1495 fsck pass structure.
1496 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1497 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1500 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1502 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
1504 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1506 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
1509 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1511 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1512 needs to be treated as zero.
1514 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1516 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1517 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1519 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1520 program if the -V option is given.
1522 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1523 through a directory.
1525 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1527 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1528 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1530 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1531 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1533 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1535 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1536 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1538 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1540 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
1542 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1544 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1545 seperated", instead of common separated)
1547 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1549 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1551 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1553 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1554 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1555 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1557 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1559 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1561 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1562 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1563 things look nice on an 80 character display.
1565 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1567 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage

1572 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.12
1574 1998-07-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1576 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
1577 being written by e2fsprogs.
1579 1998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1581 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
1583 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
1584 * tune2fs.c (usage):
1586 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
1587 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
1589 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
1590 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1593 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1595 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
1598 1998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1600 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove check for filesystems with the noauto
1603 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1605 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
1606 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1607 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1608 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1609 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
1611 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1613 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.

1617 1998-03-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1619 * chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may
1620 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
1622 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
1625 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1626 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1629 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1630 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1631 that the label will be truncated.
1633 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1634 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1635 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
1637 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1639 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning
1640 message. Fixed up -Wall warnings in file.
1642 Sun Mar 8 22:21:48 1998 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1644 * partinfo.c (main): The ioctl BLKGETSIZE requires a long, not an
1647 Sun Feb 1 16:53:36 1998 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1650 of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or
1653 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
1654 bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the
1657 Mon Dec 1 17:01:04 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1659 * badblocks.8.in: Add documentation for the -s option.
1661 Fri Oct 24 23:37:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1664 * chattr.c: Remove #include of getopt.h, since it's not needed.
1668 * badblocks.c (main):
1669 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1670 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
1671 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
1674 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1676 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
1677 to fix a -Wall warning.
1679 Mon Sep 15 22:07:12 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1682 * mklost+found.c (main):
1684 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1686 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
1687 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
1688 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
1691 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1693 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which
1694 provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem
1697 * Makefile.in (SPROGS): Add Makefile support to build e2label
1699 Tue Jun 17 01:33:20 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1705 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
1706 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
1707 80 columns when making a really big disk.
1709 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1711 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
1712 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
1713 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
1715 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
1716 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
1717 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.

1723 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1725 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
1726 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
1727 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1728 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1731 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1732 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1734 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1736 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
1737 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
1740 Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1742 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.09
1744 Fri Apr 11 18:57:24 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1763 * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
1764 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
1766 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
1767 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
1768 sparse superblock flag is set.
1769 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
1770 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
1773 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1775 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
1777 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1779 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and
1780 i_gid to be the real user and group id.
1782 Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1784 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error

1794 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
1795 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
1796 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
1799 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1801 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
1803 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
1805 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1807 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that

1838 current number of mounts.
1839 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
1840 mostly for debugging.
1842 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1844 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.

1855 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
1857 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1860 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1861 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1862 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1865 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1866 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1867 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1868 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1871 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1873 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1874 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1875 and no version number is specified.
1877 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1879 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
1881 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1883 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
1886 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1888 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1890 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1892 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1893 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1895 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1897 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1899 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1902 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1904 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1905 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1906 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1907 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1908 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1909 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1910 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1911 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1914 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1916 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1918 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1920 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1921 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1924 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1926 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1927 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1928 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1929 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1930 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1932 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1934 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1937 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1939 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1940 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1942 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1944 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1946 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1948 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1949 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1950 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1952 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1954 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1957 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1959 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1960 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1962 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1963 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1964 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1965 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1967 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1969 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1970 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1971 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1974 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1983 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1985 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1987 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1988 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1989 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1992 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1994 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1996 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1997 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1998 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
2000 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2002 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2003 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2004 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2005 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2008 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2009 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
2010 alloca is not portable!
2012 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
2013 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2016 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
2018 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
2020 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
2023 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
2025 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2026 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
2028 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2030 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2031 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
2033 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2035 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2037 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2038 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2040 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2042 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2044 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
2045 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
2046 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
2047 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2049 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
2050 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2051 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2052 statically sized buffer.
2053 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2054 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2056 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2057 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2058 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2059 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2060 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2062 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2063 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2064 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2065 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2068 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2069 support separate compilation directories.
2071 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2073 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2074 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2075 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2076 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2078 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2079 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2080 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2081 very large partition.
2083 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2084 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2085 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2087 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2088 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2089 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2090 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2091 ioctl, which most do.)
2093 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2094 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2095 during 0.5b development.)
2097 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2099 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2100 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2101 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2102 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2105 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2106 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2107 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2109 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2111 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2113 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2114 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2115 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2117 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2119 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2121 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2123 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2125 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2126 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2127 all partitions should be checked.
2129 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2131 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2134 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2137 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2139 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2140 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2142 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2144 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2146 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2148 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2151 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2153 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2155 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2157 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2159 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2161 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2163 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2164 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2165 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2166 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2167 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2169 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2170 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2171 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2172 statistics if necessary.
