1 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
3 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
4 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
5 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
6 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
7 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
8 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
9 the filesystem the system would make.
11 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
13 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
14 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
15 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
16 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
17 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
19 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
21 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
22 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
23 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
25 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
27 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
28 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
30 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
32 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
33 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
34 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
35 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
36 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
37 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
39 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
40 UUID=bar type specifications.
42 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
44 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
45 clear out a large block number.
47 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
49 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
50 appears mounted if the force option is given.
52 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
54 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
55 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
57 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
59 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
62 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
64 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
65 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
66 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
67 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
69 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
71 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
74 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
76 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
77 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
79 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
81 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
82 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
83 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
84 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
86 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
88 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
89 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
90 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
91 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
92 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
93 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
95 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
97 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
98 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
99 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
101 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
102 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
105 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
107 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14

117 needs to be treated as zero.
119 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
121 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow the user to specify exactly how many
122 inodes he/she wishes.
124 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
125 program if the -V option is given.
127 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
130 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
132 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
133 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
135 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
136 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
138 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
140 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for

152 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
154 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
156 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
158 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
159 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
160 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
162 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
164 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
166 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
167 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
168 things look nice on an 80 character display.

208 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
210 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
211 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
212 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
213 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
214 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.

230 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
231 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
234 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
235 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
236 that the label will be truncated.
238 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
239 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
240 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
242 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
244 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning

310 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
311 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
312 80 columns when making a really big disk.
314 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
316 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
317 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
318 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).

337 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
339 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
341 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not

465 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
466 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
467 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
470 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the

507 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
509 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
510 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
511 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
512 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
513 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
514 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
515 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
516 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
519 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

529 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
531 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
532 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
533 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
534 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
535 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
537 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

554 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
555 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
557 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
559 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
562 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
564 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
565 function to determine if the device is mounted.
567 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
568 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
569 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
570 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
572 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
574 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
575 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
576 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
579 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
588 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
590 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
592 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
593 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
594 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
597 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
599 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
601 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
602 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
603 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
605 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
607 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
608 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
609 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
610 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
613 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
614 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
615 alloca is not portable!
617 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
618 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
621 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
623 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
625 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
628 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
630 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
631 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
633 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
635 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
636 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
638 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
640 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
642 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
643 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
645 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
647 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
649 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
650 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
651 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
652 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
654 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
655 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
656 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
657 statically sized buffer.
658 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
659 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
661 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
662 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
663 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
664 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
665 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
667 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
668 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
669 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
670 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
673 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
674 support separate compilation directories.
676 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
678 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
679 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
680 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
681 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
683 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
684 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
685 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
686 very large partition.
688 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
689 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
690 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
692 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
693 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
694 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
695 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
696 ioctl, which most do.)
698 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
699 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
700 during 0.5b development.)
702 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
704 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
705 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
706 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
707 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
710 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
711 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
712 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
714 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
716 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
718 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
719 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
720 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
722 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
724 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
726 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
728 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
730 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
731 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
732 all partitions should be checked.
734 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
736 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
739 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
742 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
744 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
745 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
747 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
749 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
751 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
753 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
756 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
758 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
760 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
762 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
764 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
766 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
768 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
769 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
770 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
771 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
772 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
774 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
775 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
776 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
777 statistics if necessary.
