1 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
3 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
4 we can't find the device using the name given by
5 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
6 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
8 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
10 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
11 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
12 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
14 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
16 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
18 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
20 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
21 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
23 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
25 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
26 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
28 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
30 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
32 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
34 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
35 are mutually exclusive.
37 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
38 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
39 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
42 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
43 variable before going into the write verification loop.
44 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
45 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
46 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
47 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
48 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
49 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
52 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
53 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
54 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
55 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
58 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
60 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
61 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
62 the progress bar display logic.
64 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
65 max_mount_count is negative.
67 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
68 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
71 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
72 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
73 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
74 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
75 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
76 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
78 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
79 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
80 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
82 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
83 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
84 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
87 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
88 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
91 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
93 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
94 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
95 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
96 old, overly complicated logic.
97 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
98 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
99 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
101 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
103 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
104 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
105 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
106 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
108 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
110 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
111 or LABEL= specification is given.
113 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
114 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
115 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
116 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
117 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
118 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
120 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
121 proceed_question that was busted due to the
122 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
123 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
124 cleared of the previous question's newline.
126 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
128 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
131 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
133 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
134 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
135 manually define optarg and optind.
137 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
140 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
141 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
142 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
143 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
145 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
146 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
148 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
150 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
153 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
155 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
157 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
159 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
160 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
162 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
163 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
164 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
165 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
168 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
169 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
170 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
172 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
174 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
175 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
176 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
177 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
178 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
180 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
181 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
182 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
183 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
184 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
185 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
187 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
189 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
191 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
192 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
193 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
194 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
195 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
197 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
198 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
200 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
202 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
204 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
205 document the -s option.
207 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
209 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
210 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
211 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
212 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
214 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
215 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
216 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
217 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
218 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
219 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
220 Finally, the original data is written back.
222 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
223 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
224 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
225 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
226 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
227 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
228 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
229 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
230 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
231 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
232 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
233 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
234 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
235 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
236 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
238 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
239 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
240 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
243 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
244 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
246 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
247 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
248 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
249 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
250 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
251 and want the host hard drive to flush.
253 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
254 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
255 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
256 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
257 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
258 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
259 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
260 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
263 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
264 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
265 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
266 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
267 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
268 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
269 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
270 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
271 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
272 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
273 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
274 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
275 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
276 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
279 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
280 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
281 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
282 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
283 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
284 for your information.
286 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
287 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
288 which I install which will write back whatever original
289 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
290 (except SIGKILL, of course).
292 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
293 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
294 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
295 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
296 could learn how to update the manpage and other
297 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
298 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
299 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
300 should be in the distribution."
302 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
304 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
305 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
306 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
308 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
310 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
311 option is properly named.
313 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
315 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
316 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
317 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
319 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
321 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
322 the source directory.
324 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
326 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
328 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
330 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
331 filesystem option is properly named.
333 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
335 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
336 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
337 fsck -As can do so interactively.
339 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
341 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
343 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
345 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
346 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
347 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
349 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
350 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
351 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
352 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
354 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
355 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
356 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
359 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
360 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
361 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
362 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
365 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
366 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
368 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
370 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
372 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
373 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
374 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
376 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
377 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
380 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
382 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
384 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
386 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
387 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
388 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
389 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
391 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
392 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
393 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
394 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
396 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
398 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
399 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
400 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
401 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
402 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
404 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
406 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
407 changing the sparse superblock option
409 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
410 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
411 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
414 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
416 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
417 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
419 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
421 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
424 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
427 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
428 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
431 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
434 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
436 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
439 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
441 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
443 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
445 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
446 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
447 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
448 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
449 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
450 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
451 the filesystem the system would make.
453 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
455 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
456 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
457 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
458 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
459 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
461 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
463 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
464 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
465 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
467 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
469 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
470 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
472 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
474 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
475 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
476 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
477 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
478 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
479 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
481 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
482 UUID=bar type specifications.
484 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
486 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
487 clear out a large block number.
489 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
491 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
492 appears mounted if the force option is given.
494 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
496 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
497 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
499 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
501 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
504 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
506 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
507 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
508 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
509 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
511 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
513 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
516 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
518 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
519 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
521 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
523 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
524 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
525 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
526 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
528 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
530 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
531 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
532 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
533 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
534 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
535 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
537 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
539 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
540 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
541 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
543 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
544 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
547 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
549 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
551 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
553 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
556 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
558 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
559 needs to be treated as zero.
561 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
563 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow the user to specify exactly how many
564 inodes he/she wishes.
566 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
567 program if the -V option is given.

752 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
753 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
754 80 columns when making a really big disk.
756 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
758 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,

841 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
842 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.

907 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
908 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
909 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
912 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
913 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
914 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets

918 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
920 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
921 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used

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

971 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
973 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
974 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
975 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
976 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
977 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
979 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
981 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
984 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

991 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.

995 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
996 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
997 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
999 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1001 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in

1007 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1009 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1010 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1011 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1012 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1014 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1016 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1017 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1018 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1021 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1030 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.

1041 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1043 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1044 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1045 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1047 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1049 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1050 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1051 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1052 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1055 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1056 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1057 alloca is not portable!
1059 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1060 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1063 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1065 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)

1073 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1075 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1077 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1078 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1080 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1082 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1084 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1085 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1087 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1089 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1091 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.

1094 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1096 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1097 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1098 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1099 statically sized buffer.
1100 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1101 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1103 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1104 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1105 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1106 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1107 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1109 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1110 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1111 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.

1115 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1116 support separate compilation directories.
1118 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1120 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1121 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1122 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1123 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1125 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1126 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1127 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1128 very large partition.
1130 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1131 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1132 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1134 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1135 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1136 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1137 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1138 ioctl, which most do.)
1140 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1141 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1142 during 0.5b development.)
1144 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1146 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1147 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1148 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1149 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1152 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1153 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1154 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1156 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1158 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1160 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1161 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1162 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1164 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1166 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1168 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1170 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1172 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1173 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1174 all partitions should be checked.
1176 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1178 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1181 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1184 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1186 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1187 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1189 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1191 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1193 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1195 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1198 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1200 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1202 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1204 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1206 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1208 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1210 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1211 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1212 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1213 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1214 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1216 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1217 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1218 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1219 statistics if necessary.
