3 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
4 document the -s option.
6 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
8 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
9 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
10 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
11 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
13 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
14 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
15 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
16 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
17 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
18 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
19 Finally, the original data is written back.
21 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
22 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
23 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
24 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
25 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
26 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
27 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
28 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
29 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
30 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
31 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
32 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
33 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
34 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
35 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
37 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
38 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
39 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
42 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
43 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
45 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
46 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
47 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
48 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
49 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
50 and want the host hard drive to flush.
52 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
53 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
54 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
55 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
56 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
57 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
58 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
59 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
62 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
63 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
64 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
65 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
66 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
67 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
68 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
69 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
70 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
71 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
72 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
73 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
74 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
75 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
78 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
79 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
80 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
81 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
82 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
85 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
86 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
87 which I install which will write back whatever original
88 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
89 (except SIGKILL, of course).
91 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
92 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
93 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
94 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
95 could learn how to update the manpage and other
96 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
97 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
98 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
99 should be in the distribution."
101 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
103 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
104 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
105 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
107 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
109 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
110 option is properly named.
112 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
114 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
115 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
116 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
118 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
120 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
121 the source directory.
123 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
125 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
127 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
129 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
130 filesystem option is properly named.
132 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
134 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
135 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
136 fsck -As can do so interactively.
138 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
140 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
142 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
144 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
145 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
146 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
148 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
149 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
150 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
151 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
153 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
154 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
155 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
158 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
159 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
160 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
161 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
164 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
165 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
167 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
169 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
171 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
172 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
173 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
175 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
176 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
179 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
181 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
183 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
185 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
186 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
187 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
188 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
190 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
191 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
192 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
193 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
195 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
197 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
198 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
199 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
200 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
201 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
203 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
205 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
206 changing the sparse superblock option
208 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
209 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
210 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
213 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
215 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
216 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
218 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
220 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
223 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
226 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
227 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
230 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
233 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
235 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
238 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
240 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
242 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
244 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
245 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
246 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
247 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
248 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
249 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
250 the filesystem the system would make.
252 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
254 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
255 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
256 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
257 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
258 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
260 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
262 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
263 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
264 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
266 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
268 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
269 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
271 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
273 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
274 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
275 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
276 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
277 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
278 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
280 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
281 UUID=bar type specifications.
283 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
285 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
286 clear out a large block number.
288 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
290 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
291 appears mounted if the force option is given.
293 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
295 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
296 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
298 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
300 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
303 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
305 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
306 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
307 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
308 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
310 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
312 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
315 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
317 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
318 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
320 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
322 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
323 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
324 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
325 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
327 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
329 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
330 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
331 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
332 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
333 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
334 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
336 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
338 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
339 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
340 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
342 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
343 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
346 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
348 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
350 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
352 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
355 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
357 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
358 needs to be treated as zero.
360 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
362 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow the user to specify exactly how many
363 inodes he/she wishes.
365 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
366 program if the -V option is given.
368 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
371 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
373 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
374 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
376 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
377 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
379 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
381 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
382 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
384 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
386 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
388 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
390 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
391 seperated", instead of common separated)
393 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
395 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
397 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
399 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
400 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
401 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
403 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
405 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
407 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
408 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
409 things look nice on an 80 character display.
411 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
413 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage
416 1998-07-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
418 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.12
420 1998-07-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
422 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
423 being written by e2fsprogs.
425 1998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
427 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
429 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
432 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
433 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
435 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
436 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
439 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
441 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
444 1998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
446 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove check for filesystems with the noauto
449 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
451 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
452 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
453 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
454 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
455 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
457 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
459 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.
461 * e2label.c: Fix -Wall warning by making functions static.
463 1998-03-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
465 * chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may
466 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
468 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
471 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
472 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
475 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
476 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
477 that the label will be truncated.
479 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
480 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
481 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
483 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
485 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning
486 message. Fixed up -Wall warnings in file.
488 Sun Mar 8 22:21:48 1998 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
490 * partinfo.c (main): The ioctl BLKGETSIZE requires a long, not an
493 Sun Feb 1 16:53:36 1998 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
495 * badblocks.8: Update documentation to note that output format
496 of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or
499 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
500 bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the
503 Mon Dec 1 17:01:04 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
505 * badblocks.8.in: Add documentation for the -s option.
507 Fri Oct 24 23:37:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
510 * chattr.c: Remove #include of getopt.h, since it's not needed.
514 * badblocks.c (main):
516 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
517 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
520 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
522 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
523 to fix a -Wall warning.
525 Mon Sep 15 22:07:12 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
528 * mklost+found.c (main):
532 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
533 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
534 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
537 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
539 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which
540 provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem
543 * Makefile.in (SPROGS): Add Makefile support to build e2label
545 Tue Jun 17 01:33:20 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
547 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.11
549 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
551 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
552 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
553 80 columns when making a really big disk.
555 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
557 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
558 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
559 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
561 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
562 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
563 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
565 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
567 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.10
569 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
571 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
572 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
573 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
574 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
577 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
578 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
580 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
582 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
583 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13

604 bitmaps, and the inode table. List the block boundaries
607 Sat Apr 5 11:55:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
609 * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
610 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
612 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
613 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
614 sparse superblock flag is set.
615 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
616 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the

623 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
625 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and

636 set when it is unset.
638 Tue Jan 14 12:30:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
640 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
641 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
642 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
645 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
647 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().

651 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
653 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that
654 they frequently update the block number field.

701 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
703 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
706 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
707 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
708 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
711 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
712 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
713 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
714 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
717 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
719 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
720 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
721 and no version number is specified.
723 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
725 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
727 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
729 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
732 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
734 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
736 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
738 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
739 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
741 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
743 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
745 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
748 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
750 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
751 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
752 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
753 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
754 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
755 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
756 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
757 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
760 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
762 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
764 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
766 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
767 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
770 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
772 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
773 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
774 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
775 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
776 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
778 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
780 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
783 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
785 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
786 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
788 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
790 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
792 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
794 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
795 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
796 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
798 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
800 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
803 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
805 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
806 function to determine if the device is mounted.
808 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
809 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
810 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
811 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
813 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
815 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
816 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
817 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
820 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
829 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
831 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
833 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
834 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
835 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
838 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
840 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
842 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
843 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
844 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
846 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
848 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
849 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
850 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
851 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
854 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
855 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
856 alloca is not portable!
858 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
859 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
862 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
864 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
866 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
869 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
871 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
872 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
874 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
876 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
877 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
879 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
881 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
883 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
884 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
886 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
888 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
890 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
891 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
892 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
893 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
895 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
896 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
897 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
898 statically sized buffer.
899 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
900 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
902 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
903 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
904 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
905 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
906 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
908 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
909 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
910 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
911 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
914 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
915 support separate compilation directories.
917 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
919 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
920 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
921 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
922 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
924 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
925 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
926 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
927 very large partition.
929 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
930 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
931 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
933 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
934 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
935 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
936 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
937 ioctl, which most do.)
939 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
940 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
941 during 0.5b development.)
943 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
945 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
946 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
947 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
948 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
951 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
952 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
953 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
955 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
957 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
959 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
960 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
961 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
963 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
965 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
967 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
969 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
971 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
972 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
973 all partitions should be checked.
975 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
977 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
980 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
983 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
985 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
986 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
988 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
990 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
992 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
994 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
997 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
999 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1001 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1003 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1005 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1007 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1009 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1010 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1011 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1012 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1013 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1015 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1016 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1017 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1018 statistics if necessary.
