3 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
5 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
7 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
8 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
9 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
11 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
13 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
15 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10

37 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
41 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
43 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't

61 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
62 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
63 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
65 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
67 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.

79 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
80 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
83 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
84 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
85 that the label will be truncated.
87 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
88 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
89 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

101 Sun Feb 1 16:53:36 1998 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
103 * badblocks.8: Update documentation to note that output format
104 of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or
107 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
108 bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the

122 * badblocks.c (main):
124 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
125 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
128 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
130 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
131 to fix a -Wall warning.
133 Mon Sep 15 22:07:12 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
136 * mklost+found.c (main):
140 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
141 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
142 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
145 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
147 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which

157 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
159 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
160 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
161 80 columns when making a really big disk.
163 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
165 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
166 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
167 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
169 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
170 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the

177 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
179 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
180 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
181 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
182 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
185 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
186 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
188 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
190 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
191 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13

218 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
220 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
221 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
222 sparse superblock flag is set.
223 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
224 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
227 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
229 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
231 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
233 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and

244 set when it is unset.
246 Tue Jan 14 12:30:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
248 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
249 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
250 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
253 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
255 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
257 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
259 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

309 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
311 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
314 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
315 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
316 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
319 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
320 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
321 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
322 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
325 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
327 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
328 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
329 and no version number is specified.
331 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
333 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
335 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
337 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2

342 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
344 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
346 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
347 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
349 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
351 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
353 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
356 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
358 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
359 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
360 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
361 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
362 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
363 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
364 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
365 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
368 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
370 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
372 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
374 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
375 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
378 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
380 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
381 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
382 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
383 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
384 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
386 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
388 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
391 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
393 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
394 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
396 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
398 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
400 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
402 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
403 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
404 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
406 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
408 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
411 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
413 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
414 function to determine if the device is mounted.
416 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
417 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
418 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
419 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
421 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
423 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
424 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
425 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
428 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
437 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
439 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
441 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
442 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
443 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
446 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
448 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
450 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
451 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
452 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
454 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
456 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
457 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
458 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
459 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
462 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
463 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
464 alloca is not portable!
466 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
467 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
470 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
472 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
474 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
477 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
479 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
480 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
482 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
484 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
485 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
487 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
489 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
491 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
492 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
494 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
496 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
498 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
499 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
500 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
501 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
503 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
504 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
505 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
506 statically sized buffer.
507 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
508 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
510 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
511 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
512 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
513 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
514 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
516 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
517 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
518 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
519 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
522 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
523 support separate compilation directories.
525 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
527 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
528 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
529 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
530 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
532 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
533 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
534 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
535 very large partition.
537 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
538 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
539 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
541 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
542 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
543 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
544 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
545 ioctl, which most do.)
547 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
548 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
549 during 0.5b development.)
551 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
553 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
554 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
555 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
556 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
559 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
560 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
561 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
563 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
565 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
567 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
568 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
569 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
571 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
573 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
575 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
577 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
579 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
580 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
581 all partitions should be checked.
583 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
585 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
588 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
591 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
593 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
594 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
596 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
598 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
600 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
602 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
605 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
607 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
609 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
611 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
613 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
615 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
617 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
618 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
619 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
620 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
621 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
623 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
624 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
625 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
626 statistics if necessary.
