1 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
3 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
4 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
5 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
6 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
8 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
9 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
10 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
12 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
14 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
15 documentation for the extern journal device support.
17 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
20 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
22 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
23 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
25 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
26 number to be treated as a journal size.
28 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
31 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
32 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
33 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
34 entire device to get zero'ed.
36 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
38 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
39 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 10,240 file system
42 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
44 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
45 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
46 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
47 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
48 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
49 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
50 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
51 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
52 using the absolute size of the journal.
54 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
56 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
57 Also handle the case where the default journal size
58 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
59 the filesystem will be checked.
61 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
63 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
65 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
67 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
70 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
71 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
74 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
75 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
77 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
79 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
80 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
81 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
82 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
83 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
84 with the rest of the options out there.)
86 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
87 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
88 from the external journal's filesystem list.
90 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
91 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
92 given a filesystem size.
94 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
97 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
98 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
100 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
102 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
103 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
104 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
106 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
107 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
108 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
109 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
110 have been created via separate step.
112 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
113 information about an external journal device.
115 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
117 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
118 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
119 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
120 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
121 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
122 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
123 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
124 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
126 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
128 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
129 stdout after printing in-progress message.
130 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
131 the mount status of the device.
133 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
135 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
136 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
137 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
138 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
139 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
141 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
144 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
146 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
148 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
149 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
150 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
152 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
154 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
157 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
158 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
161 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
163 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
164 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
166 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
168 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
169 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
170 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
171 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
173 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
174 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
175 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
177 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
178 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
180 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
182 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
183 struct ext2_super_block.
185 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
186 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
187 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
188 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
189 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
190 using our own version now).
192 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
194 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
195 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
196 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
197 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
198 the parallel_root option.
200 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
203 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
204 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
206 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
207 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
208 support for the journaled data flag.
210 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
212 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
214 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
216 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
217 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
219 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
221 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
224 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
225 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
226 instead of core dumping.
228 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
230 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
231 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
232 journal creation routines for this purpose.
234 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
235 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
237 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
238 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
240 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
242 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
243 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
246 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
247 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
249 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
251 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
253 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
254 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
257 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
258 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
259 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
260 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
263 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
264 group names to uid's before storing them in the
265 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
267 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
269 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
270 option=argument style options, and add support for
271 creating filesystems with external journals.
273 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
275 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
277 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
278 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
280 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
282 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
283 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
286 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
289 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
290 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
293 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
294 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
297 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
299 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
302 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
304 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
305 systems with four IDE interfaces.
307 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
309 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
312 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
313 the inode table location in non-hex format.
315 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
317 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
318 we can't find the device using the name given by
319 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
320 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
322 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
324 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
325 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
326 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
328 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
330 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
332 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
334 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
335 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
337 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
339 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
340 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
342 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
344 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
346 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
348 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
349 are mutually exclusive.
351 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
352 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
353 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
356 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
357 variable before going into the write verification loop.
358 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
359 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
360 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
361 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
362 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
363 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
366 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
367 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
368 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
369 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
372 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
374 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
375 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
376 the progress bar display logic.
378 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
379 max_mount_count is negative.
381 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
382 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
385 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
386 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
387 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
388 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
389 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
390 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
392 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
393 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
394 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
396 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
397 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
398 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
401 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
402 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
405 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
407 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
408 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
409 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
410 old, overly complicated logic.
411 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
412 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
413 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
415 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
417 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
418 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
419 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
420 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
422 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
424 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
425 or LABEL= specification is given.
427 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
428 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
429 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
430 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
431 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
432 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
434 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
435 proceed_question that was busted due to the
436 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
437 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
438 cleared of the previous question's newline.
440 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
442 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
445 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
447 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
448 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
449 manually define optarg and optind.
451 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
454 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
455 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
456 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
457 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
459 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
460 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
462 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
464 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
467 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
469 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
471 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
473 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
474 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
476 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
477 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
478 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
479 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
482 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
483 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
484 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
486 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
488 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
489 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
490 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
491 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
492 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
494 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
495 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
496 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
497 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
498 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
499 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
501 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
503 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
505 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
506 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
507 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
508 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
509 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
511 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
512 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
514 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
516 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
518 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
519 document the -s option.
521 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
523 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
524 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
525 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
526 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
528 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
529 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
530 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
531 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
532 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
533 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
534 Finally, the original data is written back.
536 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
537 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
538 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
539 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
540 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
541 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
542 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
543 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
544 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
545 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
546 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
547 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
548 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
549 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
550 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
552 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
553 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
554 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
557 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
558 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
560 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
561 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
562 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
563 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
564 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
565 and want the host hard drive to flush.
567 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
568 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
569 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
570 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
571 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
572 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
573 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
574 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
577 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
578 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
579 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
580 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
581 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
582 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
583 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
584 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
585 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
586 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
587 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
588 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
589 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
590 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
593 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
594 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
595 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
596 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
597 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
598 for your information.
600 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
601 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
602 which I install which will write back whatever original
603 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
604 (except SIGKILL, of course).
606 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
607 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
608 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
609 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
610 could learn how to update the manpage and other
611 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
612 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
613 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
614 should be in the distribution."
616 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
618 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
619 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
620 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
622 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
624 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
625 option is properly named.
627 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
629 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
630 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
631 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
633 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
635 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
636 the source directory.
638 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
640 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
642 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
644 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
645 filesystem option is properly named.
647 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
649 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
650 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
651 fsck -As can do so interactively.
653 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
655 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
657 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
659 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
660 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
661 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
663 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
664 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
665 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
666 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
668 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
669 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
670 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
673 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
674 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
675 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
676 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
679 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
680 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
682 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
684 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
686 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
687 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
688 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
690 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
691 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
694 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
696 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
698 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
700 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
701 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
702 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
703 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
705 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
706 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
707 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
708 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
710 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
712 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
713 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
714 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
715 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
716 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
718 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
720 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
721 changing the sparse superblock option
723 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
724 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
725 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
728 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
730 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
731 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
733 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
735 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
738 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
741 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
742 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
745 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
748 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
750 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
753 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
755 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
757 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
759 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
760 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
761 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
762 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
763 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
764 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
765 the filesystem the system would make.
767 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
769 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
770 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
771 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
772 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
773 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
775 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
777 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
778 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
779 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
781 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
783 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
784 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
786 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
788 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
789 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
790 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
791 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
792 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
793 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
795 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
796 UUID=bar type specifications.
798 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
800 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
801 clear out a large block number.
803 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
805 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
806 appears mounted if the force option is given.
808 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
810 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
811 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
813 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
815 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
818 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
820 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
821 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
822 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
823 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
825 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
827 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
830 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
832 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
833 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
835 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
837 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
838 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
839 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
840 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
842 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
844 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
845 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
846 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
847 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
848 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
849 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
851 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
853 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
854 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
855 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
857 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
858 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
861 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
863 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
865 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
867 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
870 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
872 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
873 needs to be treated as zero.
875 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
877 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow the user to specify exactly how many
878 inodes he/she wishes.
880 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
881 program if the -V option is given.
883 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
886 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
888 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
889 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
891 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
892 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
894 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
896 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
897 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
899 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
901 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
903 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
905 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
906 seperated", instead of common separated)
908 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
910 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
912 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
914 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
915 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
916 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
918 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
920 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
922 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
923 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
924 things look nice on an 80 character display.
926 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
928 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage
931 1998-07-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

935 1998-07-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
937 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
938 being written by e2fsprogs.
940 1998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
942 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
944 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
947 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
948 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
950 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
951 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
954 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
956 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
959 1998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
961 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove check for filesystems with the noauto
964 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
966 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
967 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
968 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
969 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
970 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
972 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
974 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.
976 * e2label.c: Fix -Wall warning by making functions static.
978 1998-03-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
980 * chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may
981 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
983 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
986 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
987 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
990 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
991 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
992 that the label will be truncated.
994 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
995 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
996 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
998 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1000 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning

1029 * badblocks.c (main):
1030 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1031 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
1032 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
1035 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1037 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
1038 to fix a -Wall warning.

1043 * mklost+found.c (main):
1045 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1047 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.

1064 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1066 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
1067 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
1068 80 columns when making a really big disk.
1070 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1072 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
1073 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
1074 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
1076 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
1077 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
1078 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
1080 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>

1084 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1086 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
1087 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
1088 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1089 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1092 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1093 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1095 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1097 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
1098 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
1101 Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1118 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): List the offsets of the inode and block
1119 bitmaps, and the inode table. List the block boundaries
1122 Sat Apr 5 11:55:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1124 * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
1125 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
1127 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
1128 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
1129 sparse superblock flag is set.
1130 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
1131 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
1134 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

1140 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and
1141 i_gid to be the real user and group id.
1143 Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1145 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error
1146 messages when the device doesn't exist.

1150 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug where the PATH environment variable isn't
1151 set when it is unset.
1153 Tue Jan 14 12:30:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1155 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
1156 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
1157 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
1160 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1162 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
1164 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
1166 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1168 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that
1169 they frequently update the block number field.
1171 * badblocks.8.in: Document the optional start-block parameter
1173 Mon Oct 14 11:52:58 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1175 * mke2fs.c: Updated to use new ext2fs_allocate_tables() function.
1177 Tue Oct 8 02:02:03 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1179 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.06
1181 Mon Oct 7 00:56:24 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1185 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Change EXT2_SWAP to EXT2_FLAG_SWAP for
1188 Sun Sep 22 16:18:47 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1190 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Add support for the 'A' (noatime) flag.

1196 Sat Sep 7 07:34:11 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1198 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support for new option -C, which sets the
1199 current number of mounts.
1200 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
1201 mostly for debugging.
1203 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1205 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.
1206 (SPROGS): Use @FSCK_PROG@ instead of fsck.
1208 Thu Aug 22 00:51:44 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1210 * mke2fs.c (zap_bootblock): Don't do zap_bootblock on a
1213 Tue Aug 20 00:15:46 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1215 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
1216 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
1218 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1221 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1222 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1223 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1226 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1227 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1228 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1229 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1232 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1234 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1235 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1236 and no version number is specified.
1238 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1240 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
1242 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1244 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
1247 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1249 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1251 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1253 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1254 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1256 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1258 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1260 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1263 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1265 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1266 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1267 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1268 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1269 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1270 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1271 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1272 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1275 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1277 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1279 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1281 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1282 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1285 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1287 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1288 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1289 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1290 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1291 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1293 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1295 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1298 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1300 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1301 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1303 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1305 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1307 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1309 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1310 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1311 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1313 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1315 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1318 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1320 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1321 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1323 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1324 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1325 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1326 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1328 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1330 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1331 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1332 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1335 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1344 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1346 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1348 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1349 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1350 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1353 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1355 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1357 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1358 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1359 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1361 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1363 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1364 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1365 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1366 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1369 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1370 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1371 alloca is not portable!
1373 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1374 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1377 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1379 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1381 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1384 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1386 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1387 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1389 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1391 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1392 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1394 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1396 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1398 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1399 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1401 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1403 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1405 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1406 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1407 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1408 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1410 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1411 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1412 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1413 statically sized buffer.
1414 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1415 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1417 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1418 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1419 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1420 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1421 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1423 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1424 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1425 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1426 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1429 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1430 support separate compilation directories.
1432 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1434 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1435 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1436 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1437 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1439 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1440 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1441 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1442 very large partition.
1444 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1445 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1446 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1448 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1449 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1450 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1451 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1452 ioctl, which most do.)
1454 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1455 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1456 during 0.5b development.)
1458 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1460 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1461 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1462 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1463 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1466 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1467 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1468 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1470 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1472 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1474 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1475 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1476 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1478 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1480 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1482 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1484 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1486 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1487 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1488 all partitions should be checked.
1490 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1492 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1495 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1498 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1500 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1501 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1503 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1505 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1507 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1509 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1512 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1514 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1516 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1518 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1520 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1522 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1524 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1525 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1526 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1527 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1528 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1530 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1531 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1532 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1533 statistics if necessary.
