3 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
5 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
6 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
8 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
10 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
11 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
12 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
13 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
14 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
16 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
18 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
21 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
23 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
24 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
25 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
26 installing the man pages.
28 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
30 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
32 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
34 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
35 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
38 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
41 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
43 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26
45 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
47 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
50 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
51 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
52 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
54 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
56 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
57 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
60 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
62 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
64 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
66 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
68 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
69 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
72 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
74 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
75 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
76 the last checked time on the filesystem.
78 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
80 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
81 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
84 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
85 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
86 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
88 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
89 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
91 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
92 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
93 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
94 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
95 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
97 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
99 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
100 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
101 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
102 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
103 include search path.)
105 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
107 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
108 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
109 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
112 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
114 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
115 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
116 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
118 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
120 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
121 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
122 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
123 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
124 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
126 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
127 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
129 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
132 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
134 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
135 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
136 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
138 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
140 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
143 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
145 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
146 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
148 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
150 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
153 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
155 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
156 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
157 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
158 into a real device name.
160 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
162 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
163 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
164 calls are a good thing. <g>
166 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
168 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
170 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
172 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
174 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
176 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
178 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
181 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
182 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
184 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
186 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
189 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
191 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
193 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
195 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.

199 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
201 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
203 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
205 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
206 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
207 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
209 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
211 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
212 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
213 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
214 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
215 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
216 small device (less than 64 blocks).
218 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
220 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
223 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
224 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
225 display, since it only confuses people.
227 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
229 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
232 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
233 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
234 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
236 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
238 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
239 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
240 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
241 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
243 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
244 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
245 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
246 in the ext2 superblock.
248 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
249 malloc'd in interpret spec.
251 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
253 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
255 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
257 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
258 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
261 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
263 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
264 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
265 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
266 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
268 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
269 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
270 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
272 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
273 specified more than once.
275 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
277 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
278 text that erroneously implied that all features
279 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
282 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
284 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
285 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
286 should not be present.
288 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
290 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
292 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
293 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
295 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
297 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
298 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
299 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
300 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
302 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
304 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
305 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
307 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
309 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
310 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
311 blocksize of the new filesystem.
313 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
315 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
316 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
319 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
321 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
322 of the filesystem to determines its type.
324 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
325 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
327 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
329 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
331 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

335 2001-06-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
337 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
340 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
342 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
343 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
344 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
345 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
346 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
348 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
349 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
352 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
353 specified to configure.
355 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
357 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
358 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
360 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
361 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
364 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
365 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
366 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
368 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
370 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
371 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
372 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
374 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
376 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
377 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.

381 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
383 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
385 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
387 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
389 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
390 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
391 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
393 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
394 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
396 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
398 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
399 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
400 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
401 for description of new -t semantics.
403 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
404 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
405 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
407 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
408 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
411 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
413 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
414 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
415 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
417 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
420 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
422 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
423 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
425 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
427 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
429 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
430 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
432 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
434 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
435 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
436 value depending on if superblock features are set.
438 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
440 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
442 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
443 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
444 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.

455 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
456 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
458 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
459 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
460 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
462 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
463 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
465 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
467 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
469 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
470 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
471 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
473 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
474 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
477 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
480 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
482 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
483 the base device, we should assume that the device is
484 already active in order to force serialization.
486 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
488 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
489 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
492 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
494 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
495 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
496 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
497 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
499 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
500 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
501 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
503 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
505 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
506 documentation for the extern journal device support.
508 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
511 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
513 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
514 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
516 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
517 number to be treated as a journal size.
519 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
522 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
523 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
524 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
525 entire device to get zero'ed.
527 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
529 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
530 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
533 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
535 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
536 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
537 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
538 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
539 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
540 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
541 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
542 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
543 using the absolute size of the journal.
545 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
547 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
548 Also handle the case where the default journal size
549 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
550 the filesystem will be checked.
552 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
554 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
556 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
558 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
561 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
562 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
565 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
566 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
568 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
570 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
571 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
572 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
573 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
574 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
575 with the rest of the options out there.)
577 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
578 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
579 from the external journal's filesystem list.
581 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
582 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
583 given a filesystem size.
585 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
588 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
589 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
591 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
593 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
594 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
595 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
597 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
598 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
599 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
600 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
601 have been created via separate step.
603 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
604 information about an external journal device.
606 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
608 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
609 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
610 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
611 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
612 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
613 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
614 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
615 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
617 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
619 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
620 stdout after printing in-progress message.
621 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
622 the mount status of the device.
624 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
626 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
627 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
628 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
629 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
630 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
632 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
635 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
637 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
639 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
640 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
641 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
643 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
645 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
648 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
649 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
652 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
654 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
655 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
657 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
659 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
660 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
661 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
662 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
664 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
665 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
666 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
668 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
669 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
671 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
673 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
674 struct ext2_super_block.
676 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
677 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
678 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
679 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
680 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
681 using our own version now).
683 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
685 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
686 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
687 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
688 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
689 the parallel_root option.
691 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
694 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
695 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
697 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
698 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
699 support for the journaled data flag.
701 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
703 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
705 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
707 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
708 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
710 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
712 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
715 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
716 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
717 instead of core dumping.
719 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
721 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
722 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
723 journal creation routines for this purpose.
725 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
726 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
728 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
729 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
731 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
733 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
734 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
737 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
738 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
740 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
742 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
744 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
745 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
748 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
749 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
750 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
751 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
754 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
755 group names to uid's before storing them in the
756 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
758 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
760 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
761 option=argument style options, and add support for
762 creating filesystems with external journals.
764 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
766 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
768 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
769 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
771 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
773 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
774 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
777 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
780 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
781 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
784 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
785 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
788 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
790 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
793 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
795 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
796 systems with four IDE interfaces.
798 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
800 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
803 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
804 the inode table location in non-hex format.
806 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
808 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
809 we can't find the device using the name given by
810 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
811 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
813 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
815 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
816 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
817 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
819 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
821 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
823 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
825 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
826 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
828 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
830 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
831 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
833 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
835 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
837 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
839 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
840 are mutually exclusive.
842 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
843 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
844 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
847 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
848 variable before going into the write verification loop.
849 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
850 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
851 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
852 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
853 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
854 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
857 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
858 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
859 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
860 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
863 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
865 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
866 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
867 the progress bar display logic.
869 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
870 max_mount_count is negative.
872 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
873 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
876 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
877 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
878 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
879 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
880 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
881 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
883 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
884 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
885 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
887 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
888 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
889 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
892 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
893 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
896 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
898 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
899 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
900 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
901 old, overly complicated logic.
902 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
903 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
904 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
906 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
908 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
909 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
910 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
911 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
913 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
915 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
916 or LABEL= specification is given.
918 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
919 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
920 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
921 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
922 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
923 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
925 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
926 proceed_question that was busted due to the
927 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
928 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
929 cleared of the previous question's newline.
931 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
933 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
936 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
938 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
939 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
940 manually define optarg and optind.
942 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
945 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
946 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
947 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
948 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
950 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
951 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
953 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
955 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
958 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
960 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
962 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
964 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
965 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
967 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
968 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
969 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
970 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
973 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
974 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
975 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
977 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
979 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
980 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
981 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
982 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
983 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
985 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
986 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
987 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
988 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
989 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
990 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
992 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
994 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
996 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
997 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
998 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
999 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1000 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1002 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1003 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1005 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1007 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1009 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1010 document the -s option.
1012 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1014 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1015 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1016 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1017 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1019 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1020 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1021 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1022 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1023 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1024 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1025 Finally, the original data is written back.
1027 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1028 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1029 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1030 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1031 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1032 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1033 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1034 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1035 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1036 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1037 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1038 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1039 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1040 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1041 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1043 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1044 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1045 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1048 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1049 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1051 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1052 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1053 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1054 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1055 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1056 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1058 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1059 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1060 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1061 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1062 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1063 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1064 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1065 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1068 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1069 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1070 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1071 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1072 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1073 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1074 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1075 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1076 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1077 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1078 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1079 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1080 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1081 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1082 completely reliable.
1084 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1085 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1086 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1087 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1088 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1089 for your information.
1091 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1092 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1093 which I install which will write back whatever original
1094 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1095 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1097 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1098 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1099 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1100 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1101 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1102 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1103 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1104 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1105 should be in the distribution."
1107 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1109 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1110 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1111 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1113 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1115 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1116 option is properly named.
1118 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1120 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1121 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1122 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1124 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1126 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1127 the source directory.
1129 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1131 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1133 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1135 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1136 filesystem option is properly named.
1138 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1140 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1141 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1142 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1144 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1146 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1148 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1150 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1151 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1152 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1154 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1155 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1156 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1157 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1159 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1160 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1161 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1164 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1165 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1166 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1167 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1170 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1171 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1173 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1175 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1177 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1178 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1179 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1181 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1182 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1185 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1187 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1189 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1191 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1192 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1193 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1194 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1196 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1197 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1198 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1199 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1201 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1203 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1204 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1205 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1206 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1207 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1209 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1211 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1212 changing the sparse superblock option
1214 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1215 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1216 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1219 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1221 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1222 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1224 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1226 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1229 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1232 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1233 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1236 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1239 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1241 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1244 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1246 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1248 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1250 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1251 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1252 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1253 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1254 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1255 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1256 the filesystem the system would make.
1258 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1260 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1261 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1262 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1263 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1264 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1266 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1268 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1269 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1270 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1272 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1274 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1275 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1277 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1279 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1280 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1281 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1282 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1283 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1284 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1286 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1287 UUID=bar type specifications.
1289 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1291 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1292 clear out a large block number.
1294 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1296 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1297 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1299 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1301 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1302 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1304 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1306 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1309 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1311 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1312 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1313 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1314 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1316 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1318 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1321 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1323 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1324 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1326 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1328 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1329 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1330 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1331 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1333 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1335 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1336 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1337 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1338 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1339 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1340 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1342 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1344 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1345 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1346 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1347 fsck pass structure.
1348 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1349 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1352 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1354 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14

1361 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1363 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1364 needs to be treated as zero.
1366 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1368 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1369 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1371 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1372 program if the -V option is given.
1374 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1375 through a directory.
1377 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1379 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1380 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1382 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1383 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1385 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1387 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1388 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1390 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1392 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
1394 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1396 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1397 seperated", instead of common separated)
1399 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1401 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1403 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1405 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1406 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1407 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1409 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1411 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1413 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1414 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1415 things look nice on an 80 character display.
1417 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1419 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage

1438 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
1439 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
1441 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
1442 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1445 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1447 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number

1455 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1457 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
1458 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1459 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1460 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1461 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
1463 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1465 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.

1472 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
1474 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
1477 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1478 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1481 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1482 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1483 that the label will be truncated.
1485 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1486 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1487 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

1557 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
1558 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
1559 80 columns when making a really big disk.
1561 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1577 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
1578 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
1579 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1580 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1583 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1584 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.

1690 current number of mounts.
1691 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
1692 mostly for debugging.
1694 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1696 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.
1697 (SPROGS): Use @FSCK_PROG@ instead of fsck.
1699 Thu Aug 22 00:51:44 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1701 * mke2fs.c (zap_bootblock): Don't do zap_bootblock on a
1704 Tue Aug 20 00:15:46 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1706 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
1707 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
1709 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1712 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1713 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1714 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1717 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1718 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1719 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1720 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1723 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1725 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1726 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1727 and no version number is specified.
1729 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1731 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
1733 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1735 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
1738 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1740 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1742 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1744 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1745 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1747 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1749 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1751 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1754 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1756 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1757 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1758 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1759 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1760 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1761 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1762 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1763 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1766 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1768 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1770 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1772 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1773 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1776 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1778 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1779 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1780 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1781 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1782 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1784 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1786 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1789 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1791 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1792 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1794 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1796 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1798 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1800 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1801 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1802 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1804 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1806 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1809 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1811 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1812 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1814 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1815 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1816 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1817 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1819 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1821 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1822 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1823 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1826 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1835 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1837 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1839 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1840 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1841 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1844 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1846 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1848 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1849 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1850 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1852 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1854 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1855 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1856 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1857 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1860 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1861 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1862 alloca is not portable!
1864 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1865 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1868 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1870 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1872 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1875 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1877 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1878 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1880 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1882 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1883 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1885 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1887 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1889 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1890 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1892 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1894 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1896 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1897 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1898 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1899 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1901 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1902 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1903 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1904 statically sized buffer.
1905 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1906 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1908 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1909 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1910 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1911 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1912 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1914 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1915 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1916 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1917 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1920 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1921 support separate compilation directories.
1923 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1925 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1926 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1927 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1928 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1930 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1931 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1932 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1933 very large partition.
1935 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1936 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1937 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1939 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1940 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1941 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1942 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1943 ioctl, which most do.)
1945 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1946 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1947 during 0.5b development.)
1949 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1951 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1952 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1953 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1954 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1957 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1958 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1959 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1961 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1963 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1965 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1966 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1967 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1969 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1971 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1973 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1975 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1977 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1978 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1979 all partitions should be checked.
1981 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1983 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1986 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1989 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1991 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1992 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1994 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1996 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1998 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2000 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2003 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2005 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2007 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2009 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2011 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2013 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2015 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2016 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2017 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2018 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2019 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2021 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2022 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2023 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2024 statistics if necessary.
