12 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
14 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
16 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
17 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
19 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
21 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
22 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
23 is larger than the system's page size according to the
24 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
25 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
26 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
29 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
31 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
33 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
35 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
37 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
39 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
40 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
42 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
44 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
45 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
47 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
49 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
50 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
52 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
54 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
55 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
56 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
57 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
58 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
60 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
62 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
65 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
67 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
68 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
69 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
70 installing the man pages.
72 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
74 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
76 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
78 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
79 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
82 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
85 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
87 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26
89 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
91 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
94 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
95 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
96 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
98 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
100 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
101 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
102 envrionment variable.
104 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
106 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
108 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
110 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
112 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
113 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
116 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
118 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
119 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
120 the last checked time on the filesystem.
122 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
124 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
125 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
128 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
129 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
130 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
132 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
133 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
135 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
136 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
137 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
138 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
139 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
141 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
143 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
144 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
145 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
146 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
147 include search path.)
149 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
151 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
152 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
153 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
156 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
158 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
159 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
160 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
162 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
164 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
165 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
166 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
167 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
168 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
170 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
171 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
173 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
176 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
178 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
179 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
180 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
182 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
184 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
187 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
189 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
190 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
192 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
194 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
197 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
199 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
200 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
201 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
202 into a real device name.
204 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
206 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
207 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
208 calls are a good thing. <g>
210 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
212 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
214 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.

218 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
220 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
222 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
225 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
226 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
228 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
230 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
233 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
235 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
237 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
239 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.
241 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
243 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
245 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
247 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
249 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
250 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
251 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
253 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
255 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
256 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
257 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
258 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
259 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
260 small device (less than 64 blocks).
262 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
264 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
267 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
268 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
269 display, since it only confuses people.
271 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
273 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
276 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
277 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
278 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
280 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
282 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
283 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
284 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
285 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
287 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
288 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
289 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
290 in the ext2 superblock.
292 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
293 malloc'd in interpret spec.
295 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
297 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
299 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
301 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
302 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
305 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
307 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
308 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
309 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
310 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
312 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
313 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
314 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
316 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
317 specified more than once.
319 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
321 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
322 text that erroneously implied that all features
323 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
326 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
328 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
329 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
330 should not be present.
332 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
334 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
336 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
337 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
339 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
341 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
342 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
343 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
344 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
346 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
348 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
349 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
351 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
353 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
354 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
355 blocksize of the new filesystem.
357 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
359 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
360 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
363 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
365 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
366 of the filesystem to determines its type.
368 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
369 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".

384 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
386 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
387 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
388 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
389 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
390 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
392 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
393 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
396 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
397 specified to configure.
399 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
401 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
402 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
404 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
405 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
408 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
409 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
410 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
412 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
414 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
415 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
416 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
418 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
420 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
421 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.

431 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
433 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
434 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
435 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
437 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
438 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
440 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
442 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
443 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
444 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
445 for description of new -t semantics.
447 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
448 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
449 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
451 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
452 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
455 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
457 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
458 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
459 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h

473 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
474 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
476 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
478 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
479 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
480 value depending on if superblock features are set.
482 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
484 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.

500 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
502 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
503 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
504 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
506 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
507 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
509 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
511 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
513 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
514 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
515 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.

518 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
521 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
524 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
526 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
527 the base device, we should assume that the device is
528 already active in order to force serialization.
530 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
532 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
533 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
536 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
538 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
539 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
540 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
541 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
543 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
544 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
545 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
547 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
549 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
550 documentation for the extern journal device support.
552 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
555 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
557 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
558 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
560 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
561 number to be treated as a journal size.
563 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
566 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
567 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
568 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
569 entire device to get zero'ed.
571 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
573 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
574 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
577 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
579 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
580 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
581 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
582 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
583 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
584 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
585 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
586 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
587 using the absolute size of the journal.
589 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
591 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
592 Also handle the case where the default journal size
593 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
594 the filesystem will be checked.
596 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
598 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
600 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
602 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
605 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
606 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
609 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
610 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
612 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
614 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
615 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
616 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
617 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
618 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
619 with the rest of the options out there.)
621 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
622 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
623 from the external journal's filesystem list.
625 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
626 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
627 given a filesystem size.
629 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
632 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
633 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
635 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
637 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
638 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
639 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
641 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
642 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
643 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
644 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
645 have been created via separate step.
647 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
648 information about an external journal device.
650 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
652 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
653 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
654 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
655 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
656 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
657 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
658 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
659 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
661 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
663 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
664 stdout after printing in-progress message.
665 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
666 the mount status of the device.
668 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
670 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
671 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
672 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
673 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
674 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
676 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
679 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
681 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
683 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
684 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
685 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
687 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
689 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
692 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
693 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
696 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
698 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
699 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
701 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
703 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
704 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
705 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
706 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
708 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
709 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
710 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
712 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
713 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
715 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
717 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
718 struct ext2_super_block.
720 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
721 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
722 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
723 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
724 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
725 using our own version now).
727 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
729 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
730 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
731 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
732 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
733 the parallel_root option.
735 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
738 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
739 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
741 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
742 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
743 support for the journaled data flag.
745 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
747 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
749 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
751 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
752 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
754 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
756 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
759 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
760 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
761 instead of core dumping.
763 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
765 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
766 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
767 journal creation routines for this purpose.
769 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
770 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
772 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
773 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
775 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
777 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
778 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
781 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
782 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
784 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
786 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
788 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
789 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
792 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
793 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
794 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
795 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
798 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
799 group names to uid's before storing them in the
800 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
802 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
804 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
805 option=argument style options, and add support for
806 creating filesystems with external journals.
808 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
810 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
812 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
813 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
815 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
817 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
818 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
821 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
824 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
825 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
828 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
829 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
832 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
834 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
837 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
839 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
840 systems with four IDE interfaces.
842 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
844 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
847 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
848 the inode table location in non-hex format.
850 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
852 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
853 we can't find the device using the name given by
854 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
855 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
857 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
859 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
860 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
861 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
863 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
865 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
867 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
869 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
870 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
872 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
874 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
875 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
877 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
879 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
881 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
883 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
884 are mutually exclusive.
886 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
887 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
888 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
891 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
892 variable before going into the write verification loop.
893 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
894 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
895 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
896 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
897 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
898 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
901 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
902 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
903 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
904 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
907 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
909 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
910 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
911 the progress bar display logic.
913 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
914 max_mount_count is negative.
916 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
917 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
920 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
921 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
922 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
923 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
924 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
925 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
927 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
928 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
929 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
931 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
932 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
933 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
936 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
937 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
940 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
942 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
943 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
944 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
945 old, overly complicated logic.
946 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
947 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
948 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
950 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
952 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
953 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
954 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
955 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
957 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
959 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
960 or LABEL= specification is given.
962 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
963 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
964 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
965 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
966 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
967 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
969 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
970 proceed_question that was busted due to the
971 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
972 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
973 cleared of the previous question's newline.
975 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
977 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
980 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
982 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
983 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
984 manually define optarg and optind.
986 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
989 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
990 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
991 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
992 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
994 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
995 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
997 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
999 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1002 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1004 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1006 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1008 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1009 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1011 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1012 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1013 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1014 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1017 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1018 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1019 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1021 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1023 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1024 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1025 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1026 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1027 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1029 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1030 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1031 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1032 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1033 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1034 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1036 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1038 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1040 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1041 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1042 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1043 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1044 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1046 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1047 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1049 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1051 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1053 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1054 document the -s option.
1056 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1058 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1059 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1060 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1061 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1063 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1064 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1065 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1066 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1067 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1068 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1069 Finally, the original data is written back.
1071 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1072 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1073 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1074 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1075 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1076 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1077 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1078 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1079 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1080 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1081 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1082 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1083 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1084 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1085 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1087 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1088 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1089 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1092 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1093 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1095 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1096 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1097 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1098 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1099 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1100 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1102 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1103 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1104 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1105 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1106 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1107 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1108 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1109 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1112 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1113 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1114 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1115 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1116 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1117 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1118 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1119 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1120 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1121 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1122 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1123 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1124 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1125 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1126 completely reliable.
1128 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1129 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1130 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1131 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1132 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1133 for your information.
1135 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1136 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1137 which I install which will write back whatever original
1138 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1139 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1141 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1142 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1143 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1144 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1145 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1146 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1147 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1148 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1149 should be in the distribution."
1151 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1153 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1154 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1155 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1157 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1159 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1160 option is properly named.
1162 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1164 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1165 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1166 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1168 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1170 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1171 the source directory.
1173 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1175 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1177 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1179 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1180 filesystem option is properly named.
1182 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1184 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1185 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1186 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1188 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1190 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1192 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1194 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1195 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1196 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1198 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1199 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1200 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1201 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1203 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1204 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1205 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1208 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1209 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1210 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1211 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1214 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1215 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1217 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1219 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1221 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1222 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1223 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1225 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1226 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1229 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1231 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1233 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1235 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1236 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1237 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1238 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1240 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1241 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1242 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1243 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1245 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1247 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1248 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1249 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1250 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1251 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1253 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1255 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1256 changing the sparse superblock option
1258 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1259 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1260 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1263 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1265 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1266 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1268 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1270 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1273 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1276 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1277 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1280 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1283 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1285 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1288 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1290 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1292 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1294 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1295 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1296 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1297 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1298 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1299 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1300 the filesystem the system would make.
1302 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1304 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1305 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1306 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1307 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1308 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1310 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1312 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1313 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1314 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1316 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1318 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1319 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1321 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1323 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1324 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1325 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1326 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1327 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1328 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1330 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1331 UUID=bar type specifications.
1333 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1335 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1336 clear out a large block number.
1338 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1340 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1341 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1343 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1345 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1346 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1348 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1350 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1353 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1355 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1356 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1357 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1358 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1360 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1362 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1365 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1367 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1368 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1370 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1372 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1373 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1374 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1375 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1377 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1379 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1380 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1381 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1382 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1383 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1384 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1386 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1388 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1389 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1390 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1391 fsck pass structure.
1392 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1393 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1396 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1398 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
1400 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1405 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1407 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1408 needs to be treated as zero.
1410 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1412 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1413 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1415 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1416 program if the -V option is given.
1418 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1419 through a directory.
1421 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1423 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1424 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1426 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1427 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1429 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1431 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1432 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1434 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1436 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
1438 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1440 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1441 seperated", instead of common separated)
1443 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1445 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1447 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1449 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1450 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1451 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1453 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1455 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1457 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1458 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1459 things look nice on an 80 character display.
1461 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1463 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage

1477 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
1479 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
1480 * tune2fs.c (usage):
1482 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
1483 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
1485 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
1486 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1489 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1491 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
1494 1998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1496 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove check for filesystems with the noauto
1499 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1501 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
1502 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1503 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1504 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1505 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
1507 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1509 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.

1516 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
1518 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
1521 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1522 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1525 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1526 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1527 that the label will be truncated.
1529 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1530 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1531 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
1533 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1535 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning

1564 * badblocks.c (main):
1565 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1566 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
1567 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
1570 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1572 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
1573 to fix a -Wall warning.
1575 Mon Sep 15 22:07:12 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1578 * mklost+found.c (main):
1580 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1582 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
1583 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
1584 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
1587 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1589 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which
1590 provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem
1593 * Makefile.in (SPROGS): Add Makefile support to build e2label
1595 Tue Jun 17 01:33:20 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1597 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.11
1599 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1601 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
1602 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
1603 80 columns when making a really big disk.
1605 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1607 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,

1609 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
1611 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
1612 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
1613 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
1615 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>

1619 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1621 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
1622 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
1623 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1624 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1627 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1628 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1630 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1632 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
1633 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13

1643 specified everywhere.
1645 * chattr.c (usage): Added usage message for the 'A' attribute.
1647 Fri Apr 11 18:56:26 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1649 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.08
1651 Thu Apr 10 07:08:03 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1653 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): List the offsets of the inode and block
1654 bitmaps, and the inode table. List the block boundaries
1657 Sat Apr 5 11:55:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1663 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
1664 sparse superblock flag is set.
1665 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
1666 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
1669 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1671 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
1673 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1675 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and
1676 i_gid to be the real user and group id.
1678 Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1680 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error
1681 messages when the device doesn't exist.
1683 Sat Mar 1 10:43:32 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1685 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug where the PATH environment variable isn't
1686 set when it is unset.
1688 Tue Jan 14 12:30:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1690 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
1691 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
1692 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
1695 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1697 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
1699 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
1701 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1703 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that
1704 they frequently update the block number field.
1706 * badblocks.8.in: Document the optional start-block parameter
1708 Mon Oct 14 11:52:58 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1710 * mke2fs.c: Updated to use new ext2fs_allocate_tables() function.
1712 Tue Oct 8 02:02:03 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1714 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.06
1716 Mon Oct 7 00:56:24 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1718 * chattr.1.in: Documented the 'A' (noatime) attribute.
1720 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Change EXT2_SWAP to EXT2_FLAG_SWAP for
1723 Sun Sep 22 16:18:47 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1725 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Add support for the 'A' (noatime) flag.
1727 Thu Sep 12 15:23:07 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1729 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.05
1731 Sat Sep 7 07:34:11 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1733 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support for new option -C, which sets the
1734 current number of mounts.
1735 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
1736 mostly for debugging.
1738 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1740 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.
1741 (SPROGS): Use @FSCK_PROG@ instead of fsck.
1743 Thu Aug 22 00:51:44 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1745 * mke2fs.c (zap_bootblock): Don't do zap_bootblock on a
1748 Tue Aug 20 00:15:46 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1750 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
1751 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
1753 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1756 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1757 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1758 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1761 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1762 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1763 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1764 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1767 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1769 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1770 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1771 and no version number is specified.
1773 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1775 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
1777 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1779 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
1782 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1784 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1786 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1788 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1789 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1791 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1793 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1795 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1798 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1800 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1801 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1802 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1803 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1804 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1805 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1806 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1807 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1810 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1812 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1814 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1816 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1817 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1820 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1822 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1823 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1824 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1825 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1826 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1828 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1830 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1833 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1835 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1836 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1838 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1840 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1842 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1844 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1845 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1846 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1848 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1850 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1853 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1855 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1856 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1858 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1859 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1860 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1861 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1863 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1865 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1866 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1867 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1870 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1879 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1881 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1883 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1884 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1885 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1888 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1890 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1892 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1893 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1894 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1896 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1898 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1899 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1900 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1901 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1904 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1905 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1906 alloca is not portable!
1908 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1909 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1912 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1914 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1916 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1919 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1921 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1922 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1924 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1926 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1927 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1929 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1931 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1933 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1934 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1936 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1938 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1940 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1941 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1942 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1943 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1945 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1946 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1947 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1948 statically sized buffer.
1949 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1950 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1952 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1953 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1954 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1955 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1956 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1958 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1959 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1960 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1961 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1964 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1965 support separate compilation directories.
1967 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1969 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1970 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1971 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1972 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1974 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1975 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1976 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1977 very large partition.
1979 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1980 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1981 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1983 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1984 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1985 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1986 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1987 ioctl, which most do.)
1989 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1990 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1991 during 0.5b development.)
1993 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1995 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1996 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1997 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1998 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2001 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2002 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2003 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2005 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2007 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2009 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2010 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2011 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2013 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2015 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2017 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2019 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2021 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2022 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2023 all partitions should be checked.
2025 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2027 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2030 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2033 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2035 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2036 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2038 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2040 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2042 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2044 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2047 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2049 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2051 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2053 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2055 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2057 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2059 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2060 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2061 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2062 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2063 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2065 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2066 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2067 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2068 statistics if necessary.
