3 * Makefile.in (install): Search all compression extensions when
4 deleting old man pages.
6 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix bug in algorithm which determined
7 which blocks are used as backup superblock and block group
10 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug which checked the tmp pointer
11 erreoneously (and needlessly).
13 2002-10-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
15 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
16 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
17 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
18 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
21 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
23 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
24 if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
25 will still print out the contents of the block group
28 2002-10-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
30 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), mke2fs.c (PRS), e2image.c
31 (mark_table_blocks): Add support for the meta_blockgroup
34 2002-10-15 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
36 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (update_mntopts, main): Add new option
37 'o' which allows the system administrator to specify
38 default mount options.
40 2002-10-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
42 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Use a 16k buffer to
43 read in /proc/partitions in one go.
45 * badblocks.c, fsck.c, fstype.c, get_device_by_label.c,
46 tune2fs.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
48 2002-10-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
50 * mklost+found.c (main): Make sure the lost+found directory is
51 created with 0700 permissions.
53 2002-10-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
55 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Handle a bad block in the
56 inode table correctly.
58 2002-09-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
60 * get_device_by_label.c: Applied sourceforge patch #613447, which
61 adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
64 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
65 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows
66 badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
69 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
71 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
72 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
73 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
74 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
76 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
78 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
80 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
82 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
83 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
84 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
85 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
86 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
88 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
90 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
92 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to
93 be set. If so, set the default hash to be TEA, and
94 initialize the hash seed to a random value.
96 2002-09-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
98 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Fix bug which caused
99 LABEL='xxx' to not work correctly when using LVM.
100 (Reversed sense of error check reported by ateeq@hotpop.com)
102 2001-08-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
104 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.28
106 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
108 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
110 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
111 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
112 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
114 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
115 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
116 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
117 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
120 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
123 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
124 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
126 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive
127 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
130 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
131 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
132 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)
134 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page, and clarified text regarding
135 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
138 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
139 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
142 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
144 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
145 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
147 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
149 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
151 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
152 child fsck processes.
154 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
156 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
157 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
158 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
160 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
162 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
163 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
164 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
166 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
168 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)

177 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
179 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
181 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
182 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
184 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
186 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
187 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
188 is larger than the system's page size according to the
189 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
190 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
191 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
194 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
196 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
198 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
200 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
202 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
204 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
205 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
207 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
209 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
210 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
212 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
214 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
215 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
217 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
219 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
220 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
221 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
222 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
223 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
225 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
227 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
230 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
232 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
233 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
234 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
235 installing the man pages.
237 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
239 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
241 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
243 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
244 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
247 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
250 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
252 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26

256 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
259 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
260 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
261 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
263 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
265 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
266 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
267 envrionment variable.
269 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
271 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
273 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
275 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
277 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
278 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
281 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
283 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
284 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
285 the last checked time on the filesystem.
287 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
289 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
290 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
293 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
294 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
295 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
297 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
298 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
300 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
301 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
302 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
303 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
304 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
306 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
308 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
309 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
310 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
311 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
312 include search path.)
314 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
316 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
317 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
318 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
321 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
323 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
324 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
325 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
327 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
329 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
330 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
331 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
332 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
333 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
335 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
336 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
338 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
341 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
343 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
344 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
345 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
347 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
349 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
352 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
354 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
355 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
357 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
359 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
362 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
364 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
365 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
366 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
367 into a real device name.
369 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
371 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
372 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
373 calls are a good thing. <g>
375 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
377 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
379 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
381 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
383 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
385 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
387 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
390 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
391 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
393 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
395 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
398 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
400 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
402 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
404 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.

408 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
410 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
412 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
414 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
415 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
416 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
418 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
420 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
421 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
422 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
423 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
424 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
425 small device (less than 64 blocks).
427 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
429 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
432 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
433 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
434 display, since it only confuses people.
436 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
438 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
441 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
442 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
443 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
445 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
447 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
448 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
449 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
450 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
452 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
453 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
454 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
455 in the ext2 superblock.
457 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
458 malloc'd in interpret spec.
460 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
462 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
464 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
466 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
467 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
470 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
472 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
473 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
474 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
475 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
477 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
478 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
479 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
481 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
482 specified more than once.
484 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
486 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
487 text that erroneously implied that all features
488 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
491 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
493 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
494 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
495 should not be present.
497 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
499 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
501 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
502 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
504 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
506 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
507 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
508 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
509 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
511 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
513 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
514 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
516 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
518 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
519 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
520 blocksize of the new filesystem.
522 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
524 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
525 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
528 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
530 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
531 of the filesystem to determines its type.
533 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
534 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
536 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
538 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
540 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

544 2001-06-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
546 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
549 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
551 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
552 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
553 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
554 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
555 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
557 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
558 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
561 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
562 specified to configure.
564 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
566 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
567 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
569 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
570 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
573 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
574 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
575 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
577 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
579 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
580 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
581 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
583 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
585 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
586 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.

590 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
592 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
594 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
596 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
598 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
599 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
600 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
602 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
603 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
605 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
607 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
608 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
609 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
610 for description of new -t semantics.
612 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
613 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
614 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
616 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
617 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
620 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
622 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
623 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
624 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
626 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
629 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
631 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
632 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
634 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
636 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
638 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
639 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
641 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
643 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
644 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
645 value depending on if superblock features are set.
647 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
649 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
651 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
652 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
653 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
655 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
658 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
660 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
662 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
664 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
665 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
667 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
668 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
669 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
671 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
672 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
674 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
676 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
678 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
679 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
680 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
682 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
683 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
686 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
689 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
691 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
692 the base device, we should assume that the device is
693 already active in order to force serialization.
695 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
697 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
698 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
701 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
703 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
704 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
705 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
706 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
708 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
709 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
710 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
712 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
714 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
715 documentation for the extern journal device support.
717 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
720 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
722 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
723 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
725 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
726 number to be treated as a journal size.
728 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
731 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
732 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
733 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
734 entire device to get zero'ed.
736 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
738 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
739 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
742 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
744 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
745 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
746 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
747 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
748 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
749 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
750 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
751 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
752 using the absolute size of the journal.
754 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
756 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
757 Also handle the case where the default journal size
758 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
759 the filesystem will be checked.
761 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
763 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
765 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
767 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
770 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
771 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
774 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
775 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
777 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
779 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
780 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
781 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
782 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
783 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
784 with the rest of the options out there.)
786 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
787 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
788 from the external journal's filesystem list.
790 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
791 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
792 given a filesystem size.
794 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
797 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
798 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
800 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
802 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
803 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
804 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
806 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
807 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
808 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
809 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
810 have been created via separate step.
812 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
813 information about an external journal device.
815 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
817 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
818 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
819 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
820 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
821 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
822 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
823 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
824 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
826 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
828 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
829 stdout after printing in-progress message.
830 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
831 the mount status of the device.
833 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
835 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
836 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
837 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
838 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
839 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
841 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
844 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
846 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
848 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
849 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
850 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
852 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
854 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
857 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
858 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
861 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
863 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
864 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
866 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
868 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
869 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
870 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
871 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
873 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
874 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
875 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
877 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
878 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
880 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
882 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
883 struct ext2_super_block.
885 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
886 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
887 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
888 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
889 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
890 using our own version now).
892 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
894 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
895 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
896 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
897 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
898 the parallel_root option.
900 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
903 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
904 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
906 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
907 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
908 support for the journaled data flag.
910 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
912 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
914 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
916 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
917 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
919 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
921 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
924 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
925 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
926 instead of core dumping.
928 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
930 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
931 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
932 journal creation routines for this purpose.
934 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
935 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
937 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
938 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
940 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
942 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
943 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
946 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
947 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
949 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
951 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
953 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
954 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
957 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
958 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
959 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
960 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
963 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
964 group names to uid's before storing them in the
965 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
967 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
969 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
970 option=argument style options, and add support for
971 creating filesystems with external journals.
973 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
975 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
977 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
978 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
980 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
982 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
983 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
986 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
989 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
990 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
993 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
994 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
997 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
999 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
1002 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
1004 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
1005 systems with four IDE interfaces.
1007 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
1009 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1012 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1013 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1015 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1017 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1018 we can't find the device using the name given by
1019 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1020 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1022 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1024 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1025 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1026 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1028 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1030 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1032 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1034 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1035 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1037 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1039 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1040 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1042 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1044 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1046 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1048 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1049 are mutually exclusive.
1051 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1052 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1053 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1056 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1057 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1058 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1059 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1060 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1061 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1062 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1063 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1066 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1067 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1068 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1069 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1072 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1074 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1075 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1076 the progress bar display logic.
1078 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1079 max_mount_count is negative.
1081 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1082 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1085 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1086 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1087 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1088 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1089 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1090 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1092 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1093 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1094 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1096 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1097 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1098 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1101 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1102 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1103 device as a default.
1105 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1107 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1108 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1109 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1110 old, overly complicated logic.
1111 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1112 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1113 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1115 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1117 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1118 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1119 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1120 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1122 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1124 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1125 or LABEL= specification is given.
1127 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1128 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1129 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1130 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1131 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1132 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1134 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1135 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1136 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1137 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1138 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1140 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1142 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1143 support fdatasync().
1145 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1147 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1148 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1149 manually define optarg and optind.
1151 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1154 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1155 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1156 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1157 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1159 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1160 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1162 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1164 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1167 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1169 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1171 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1173 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1174 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1176 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1177 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1178 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1179 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1182 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1183 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1184 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1186 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1188 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1189 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1190 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1191 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1192 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1194 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1195 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1196 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1197 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1198 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1199 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1201 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1203 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1205 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1206 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1207 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1208 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1209 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1211 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1212 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1214 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1216 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1218 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1219 document the -s option.
1221 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1223 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1224 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1225 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1226 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1228 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1229 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1230 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1231 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1232 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1233 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1234 Finally, the original data is written back.
1236 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1237 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1238 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1239 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1240 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1241 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1242 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1243 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1244 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1245 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1246 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1247 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1248 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1249 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1250 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1252 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1253 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1254 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1257 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1258 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1260 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1261 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1262 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1263 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1264 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1265 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1267 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1268 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1269 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1270 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1271 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1272 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1273 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1274 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1277 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1278 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1279 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1280 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1281 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1282 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1283 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1284 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1285 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1286 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1287 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1288 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1289 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1290 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1291 completely reliable.
1293 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1294 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1295 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1296 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1297 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1298 for your information.
1300 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1301 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1302 which I install which will write back whatever original
1303 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1304 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1306 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1307 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1308 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1309 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1310 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1311 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1312 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1313 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1314 should be in the distribution."
1316 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1318 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1319 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1320 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1322 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1324 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1325 option is properly named.
1327 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1329 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1330 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1331 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1333 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1335 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1336 the source directory.
1338 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1340 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1342 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1344 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1345 filesystem option is properly named.
1347 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1349 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1350 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1351 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1353 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1355 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1357 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1359 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1360 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1361 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1363 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1364 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1365 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1366 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1368 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1369 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1370 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1373 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1374 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1375 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1376 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1379 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1380 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1382 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1384 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1386 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1387 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1388 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1390 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1391 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1394 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1396 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1398 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1400 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1401 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1402 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1403 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1405 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1406 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1407 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1408 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1410 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1412 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1413 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1414 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1415 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1416 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1418 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1420 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1421 changing the sparse superblock option
1423 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1424 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1425 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1428 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1430 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1431 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1433 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1435 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1438 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1441 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1442 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1445 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1448 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1450 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1453 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1455 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1457 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1459 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1460 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1461 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1462 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1463 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1464 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1465 the filesystem the system would make.
1467 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1469 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1470 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1471 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1472 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1473 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1475 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1477 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1478 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1479 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1481 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1483 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1484 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1486 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1488 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1489 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1490 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1491 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1492 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1493 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1495 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1496 UUID=bar type specifications.
1498 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1500 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1501 clear out a large block number.
1503 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1505 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1506 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1508 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1510 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1511 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1513 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1515 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1518 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1520 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1521 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1522 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1523 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1525 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1527 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1530 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1532 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1533 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1535 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1537 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1538 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1539 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1540 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1542 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1544 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1545 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1546 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1547 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1548 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1549 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1551 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1553 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1554 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1555 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1556 fsck pass structure.
1557 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1558 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1561 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1563 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
1565 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1567 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
1570 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1572 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1573 needs to be treated as zero.
1575 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1577 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1578 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1580 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1581 program if the -V option is given.
1583 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1584 through a directory.
1586 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1588 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1589 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1591 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1592 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1594 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1596 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1597 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1599 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1601 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
1603 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1605 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1606 seperated", instead of common separated)
1608 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1610 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1612 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1614 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1615 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1616 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1618 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1620 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1622 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1623 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1624 things look nice on an 80 character display.
1626 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1628 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage
1631 1998-07-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1633 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.12
1635 1998-07-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1637 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
1638 being written by e2fsprogs.
1640 1998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1642 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
1644 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
1645 * tune2fs.c (usage):
1647 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
1648 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
1650 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
1651 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1654 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1656 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
1659 1998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1661 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove check for filesystems with the noauto
1664 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1666 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
1667 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1668 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1669 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1670 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
1672 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1674 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.
1676 * e2label.c: Fix -Wall warning by making functions static.
1678 1998-03-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1680 * chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may
1681 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
1683 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
1686 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1687 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1690 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1691 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1692 that the label will be truncated.
1694 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1695 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1696 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

1711 of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or
1714 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
1715 bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the
1718 Mon Dec 1 17:01:04 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1730 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1731 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
1732 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
1735 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1737 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,

1743 * mklost+found.c (main):
1745 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1747 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
1748 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
1749 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
1752 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

1766 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
1767 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
1768 80 columns when making a really big disk.
1770 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1772 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
1773 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
1774 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
1776 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
1777 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
1778 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
1780 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>

1784 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1786 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
1787 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
1788 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1789 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1792 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1793 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1795 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1797 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
1798 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
1801 Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1803 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.09
1805 Fri Apr 11 18:57:24 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1824 * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
1825 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
1827 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
1828 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
1829 sparse superblock flag is set.
1830 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
1831 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
1834 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1836 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
1838 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1840 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and

1855 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
1856 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
1857 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
1860 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1862 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
1864 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
1866 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1868 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that

1899 current number of mounts.
1900 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
1901 mostly for debugging.
1903 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1905 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.

1916 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
1918 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1921 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1922 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1923 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1926 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1927 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1928 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1929 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1932 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1934 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1935 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1936 and no version number is specified.
1938 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1940 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
1942 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1944 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
1947 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1949 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1951 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1953 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1954 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1956 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1958 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1960 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1963 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1965 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1966 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1967 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1968 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1969 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1970 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1971 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1972 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1975 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1977 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1979 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1981 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1982 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1985 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1987 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1988 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1989 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1990 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1991 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1993 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1995 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1998 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2000 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
2001 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
2003 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2005 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
2007 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2009 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
2010 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
2011 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
2013 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2015 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
2018 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2020 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
2021 function to determine if the device is mounted.
2023 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
2024 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
2025 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
2026 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
2028 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2030 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
2031 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
2032 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
2035 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2044 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
2046 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2048 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
2049 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
2050 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
2053 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
2055 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2057 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2058 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
2059 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
2061 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2063 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2064 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2065 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2066 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2069 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2070 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
2071 alloca is not portable!
2073 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
2074 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2077 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
2079 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
2081 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
2084 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
2086 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2087 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
2089 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2091 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2092 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
2094 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2096 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2098 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2099 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2101 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2103 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2105 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
2106 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
2107 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
2108 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2110 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
2111 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2112 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2113 statically sized buffer.
2114 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2115 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2117 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2118 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2119 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2120 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2121 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2123 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2124 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2125 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2126 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2129 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2130 support separate compilation directories.
2132 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2134 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2135 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2136 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2137 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2139 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2140 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2141 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2142 very large partition.
2144 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2145 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2146 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2148 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2149 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2150 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2151 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2152 ioctl, which most do.)
2154 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2155 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2156 during 0.5b development.)
2158 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2160 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2161 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2162 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2163 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2166 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2167 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2168 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2170 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2172 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2174 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2175 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2176 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2178 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2180 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2182 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2184 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2186 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2187 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2188 all partitions should be checked.
2190 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2192 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2195 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2198 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2200 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2201 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2203 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2205 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2207 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2209 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2212 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2214 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2216 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2218 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2220 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2222 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2224 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2225 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2226 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2227 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2228 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2230 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2231 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2232 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2233 statistics if necessary.
