1 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
3 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
4 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
6 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
7 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
8 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
10 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
11 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
13 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
15 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
17 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
18 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
19 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
21 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
22 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
25 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
28 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
30 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
31 the base device, we should assume that the device is
32 already active in order to force serialization.
34 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
36 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
37 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
40 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
42 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
43 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
44 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
45 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
47 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
48 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
49 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
51 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
53 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
54 documentation for the extern journal device support.
56 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
59 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
61 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
62 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
64 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
65 number to be treated as a journal size.
67 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
70 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
71 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
72 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
73 entire device to get zero'ed.
75 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
77 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
78 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 10,240 file system
81 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
83 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
84 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
85 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
86 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
87 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
88 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
89 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
90 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
91 using the absolute size of the journal.
93 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
95 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
96 Also handle the case where the default journal size
97 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
98 the filesystem will be checked.
100 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
102 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
104 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
106 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
109 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
110 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
113 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
114 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
116 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
118 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
119 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
120 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
121 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
122 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
123 with the rest of the options out there.)
125 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
126 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
127 from the external journal's filesystem list.
129 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
130 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
131 given a filesystem size.
133 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
136 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
137 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
139 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
141 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
142 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
143 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
145 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
146 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
147 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
148 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
149 have been created via separate step.
151 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
152 information about an external journal device.
154 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
156 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
157 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
158 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
159 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
160 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
161 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
162 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
163 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
165 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
167 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
168 stdout after printing in-progress message.
169 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
170 the mount status of the device.
172 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
174 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
175 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
176 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
177 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
178 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
180 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
183 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
185 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
187 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
188 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
189 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
191 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
193 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
196 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
197 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
200 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
202 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
203 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
205 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
207 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
208 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
209 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
210 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
212 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
213 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
214 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
216 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
217 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
219 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
221 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
222 struct ext2_super_block.
224 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
225 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
226 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
227 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
228 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
229 using our own version now).
231 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
233 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
234 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
235 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
236 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
237 the parallel_root option.
239 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
242 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
243 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
245 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
246 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
247 support for the journaled data flag.
249 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
251 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
253 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
255 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
256 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
258 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
260 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
263 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
264 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
265 instead of core dumping.
267 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
269 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
270 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
271 journal creation routines for this purpose.
273 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
274 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
276 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
277 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
279 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
281 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
282 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
285 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
286 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
288 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
290 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
292 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
293 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
296 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
297 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
298 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
299 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
302 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
303 group names to uid's before storing them in the
304 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
306 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
308 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
309 option=argument style options, and add support for
310 creating filesystems with external journals.
312 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
314 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
316 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
317 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
319 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
321 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
322 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
325 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
328 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
329 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
332 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
333 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
336 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
338 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
341 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
343 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
344 systems with four IDE interfaces.
346 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
348 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
351 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
352 the inode table location in non-hex format.
354 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
356 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
357 we can't find the device using the name given by
358 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
359 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
361 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
363 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
364 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
365 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
367 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
369 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
371 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
373 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
374 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
376 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
378 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
379 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
381 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
383 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
385 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
387 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
388 are mutually exclusive.
390 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
391 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
392 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
395 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
396 variable before going into the write verification loop.
397 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
398 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
399 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
400 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
401 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
402 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
405 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
406 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
407 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
408 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
411 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
413 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
414 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
415 the progress bar display logic.
417 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
418 max_mount_count is negative.
420 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
421 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
424 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
425 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
426 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
427 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
428 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
429 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
431 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
432 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
433 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
435 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
436 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
437 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
440 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
441 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
444 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
446 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
447 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
448 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
449 old, overly complicated logic.
450 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
451 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
452 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
454 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
456 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
457 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
458 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
459 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
461 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
463 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
464 or LABEL= specification is given.
466 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
467 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
468 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
469 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
470 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
471 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
473 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
474 proceed_question that was busted due to the
475 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
476 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
477 cleared of the previous question's newline.
479 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
481 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
484 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
486 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
487 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
488 manually define optarg and optind.
490 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
493 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
494 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
495 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
496 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
498 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
499 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
501 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
503 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
506 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
508 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
510 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
512 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
513 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
515 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
516 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
517 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
518 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
521 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
522 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
523 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
525 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
527 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
528 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
529 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
530 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
531 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
533 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
534 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
535 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
536 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
537 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
538 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
540 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
542 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
544 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
545 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
546 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
547 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
548 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
550 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
551 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
553 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
555 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
557 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
558 document the -s option.
560 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
562 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
563 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
564 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
565 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
567 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
568 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
569 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
570 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
571 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
572 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
573 Finally, the original data is written back.
575 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
576 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
577 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
578 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
579 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
580 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
581 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
582 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
583 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
584 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
585 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
586 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
587 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
588 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
589 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
591 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
592 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
593 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
596 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
597 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
599 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
600 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
601 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
602 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
603 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
604 and want the host hard drive to flush.
606 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
607 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
608 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
609 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
610 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
611 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
612 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
613 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
616 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
617 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
618 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
619 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
620 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
621 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
622 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
623 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
624 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
625 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
626 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
627 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
628 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
629 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
632 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
633 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
634 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
635 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
636 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
637 for your information.
639 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
640 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
641 which I install which will write back whatever original
642 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
643 (except SIGKILL, of course).
645 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
646 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
647 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
648 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
649 could learn how to update the manpage and other
650 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
651 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
652 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
653 should be in the distribution."
655 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
657 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
658 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
659 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
661 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
663 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
664 option is properly named.
666 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
668 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
669 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
670 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
672 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
674 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
675 the source directory.
677 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
679 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
681 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
683 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
684 filesystem option is properly named.
686 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
688 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
689 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
690 fsck -As can do so interactively.
692 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
694 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
696 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
698 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
699 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
700 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
702 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
703 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
704 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
705 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
707 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
708 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
709 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
712 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
713 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
714 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
715 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
718 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
719 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
721 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
723 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
725 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
726 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
727 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
729 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
730 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
733 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
735 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
737 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
739 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
740 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
741 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
742 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
744 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
745 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
746 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
747 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
749 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
751 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
752 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
753 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
754 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
755 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
757 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
759 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
760 changing the sparse superblock option
762 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
763 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
764 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
767 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
769 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
770 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
772 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
774 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
777 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
780 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
781 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
784 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
787 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
789 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
792 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
794 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
796 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
798 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
799 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
800 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
801 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
802 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
803 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
804 the filesystem the system would make.
806 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
808 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
809 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
810 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
811 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
812 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
814 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
816 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
817 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
818 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
820 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
822 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
823 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
825 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
827 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
828 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
829 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
830 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
831 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
832 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
834 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
835 UUID=bar type specifications.
837 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
839 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
840 clear out a large block number.
842 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
844 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
845 appears mounted if the force option is given.
847 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
849 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
850 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
852 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
854 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
857 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
859 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
860 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
861 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
862 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
864 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
866 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
869 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
871 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
872 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
874 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
876 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
877 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
878 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
879 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
881 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
883 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
884 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
885 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
886 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
887 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
888 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
890 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
892 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
893 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
894 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
896 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
897 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
900 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
902 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
904 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
906 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
909 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
911 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
912 needs to be treated as zero.
914 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
916 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow the user to specify exactly how many
917 inodes he/she wishes.
919 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
920 program if the -V option is given.
922 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
925 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
927 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
928 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
930 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
931 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
933 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
935 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
936 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
938 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
940 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
942 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
944 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
945 seperated", instead of common separated)
947 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
949 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
951 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
953 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
954 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
955 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
957 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
959 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
961 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
962 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
963 things look nice on an 80 character display.
965 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
967 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage
970 1998-07-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
972 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.12
974 1998-07-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
976 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
977 being written by e2fsprogs.
979 1998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
981 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
983 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
986 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
987 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
989 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
990 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
993 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
995 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
998 1998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1000 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove check for filesystems with the noauto
1003 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1005 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
1006 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1007 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1008 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1009 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
1011 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1013 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.
1015 * e2label.c: Fix -Wall warning by making functions static.
1017 1998-03-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1019 * chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may
1020 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
1022 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
1025 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1026 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1029 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1030 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1031 that the label will be truncated.
1033 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1034 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1035 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
1037 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1039 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning
1040 message. Fixed up -Wall warnings in file.

1050 of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or
1053 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
1054 bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the
1057 Mon Dec 1 17:01:04 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1059 * badblocks.8.in: Add documentation for the -s option.

1068 * badblocks.c (main):
1069 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1070 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
1071 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
1074 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1076 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
1077 to fix a -Wall warning.
1079 Mon Sep 15 22:07:12 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1082 * mklost+found.c (main):
1084 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1086 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
1087 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
1088 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
1091 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1093 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which
1094 provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem
1097 * Makefile.in (SPROGS): Add Makefile support to build e2label
1099 Tue Jun 17 01:33:20 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1101 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.11
1103 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1105 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
1106 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
1107 80 columns when making a really big disk.
1109 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1111 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
1112 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
1113 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
1115 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
1116 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
1117 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
1119 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1121 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.10
1123 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1125 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
1126 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
1127 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1128 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1131 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1132 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1134 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1136 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
1137 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
1140 Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1142 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.09
1144 Fri Apr 11 18:57:24 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1146 * chattr.1.in: Updated man page so that the 'A' attribute is
1147 specified everywhere.
1149 * chattr.c (usage): Added usage message for the 'A' attribute.

1163 * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
1164 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
1166 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
1167 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
1168 sparse superblock flag is set.
1169 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
1170 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
1173 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1175 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
1177 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1179 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and
1180 i_gid to be the real user and group id.
1182 Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1184 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error

1192 Tue Jan 14 12:30:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1194 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
1195 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
1196 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
1199 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1201 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
1203 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
1205 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1207 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that
1208 they frequently update the block number field.
1210 * badblocks.8.in: Document the optional start-block parameter
1212 Mon Oct 14 11:52:58 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1237 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support for new option -C, which sets the
1238 current number of mounts.
1239 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
1240 mostly for debugging.
1242 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1244 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.

1249 * mke2fs.c (zap_bootblock): Don't do zap_bootblock on a
1252 Tue Aug 20 00:15:46 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1254 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
1255 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
1257 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1260 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1261 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1262 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1265 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1266 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1267 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1268 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1271 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1273 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1274 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1275 and no version number is specified.
1277 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1279 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
1281 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1283 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
1286 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1288 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1290 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1292 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1293 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1295 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1297 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1299 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1302 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1304 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1305 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1306 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1307 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1308 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1309 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1310 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1311 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1314 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1316 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1318 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1320 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1321 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1324 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1326 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1327 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1328 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1329 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1330 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1332 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1334 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1337 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1339 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1340 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1342 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1344 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1346 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1348 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1349 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1350 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1352 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1354 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1357 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1359 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1360 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1362 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1363 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1364 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1365 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1367 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1369 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1370 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1371 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1374 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1383 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1385 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1387 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1388 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1389 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1392 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1394 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1396 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1397 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1398 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1400 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1402 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1403 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1404 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1405 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1408 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1409 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1410 alloca is not portable!
1412 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1413 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1416 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1418 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1420 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1423 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1425 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1426 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1428 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1430 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1431 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1433 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1435 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1437 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1438 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1440 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1442 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1444 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1445 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1446 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1447 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1449 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1450 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1451 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1452 statically sized buffer.
1453 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1454 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1456 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1457 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1458 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1459 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1460 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1462 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1463 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1464 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1465 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1468 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1469 support separate compilation directories.
1471 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1473 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1474 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1475 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1476 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1478 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1479 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1480 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1481 very large partition.
1483 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1484 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1485 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1487 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1488 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1489 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1490 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1491 ioctl, which most do.)
1493 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1494 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1495 during 0.5b development.)
1497 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1499 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1500 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1501 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1502 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1505 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1506 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1507 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1509 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1511 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1513 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1514 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1515 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1517 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1519 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1521 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1523 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1525 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1526 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1527 all partitions should be checked.
1529 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1531 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1534 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1537 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1539 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1540 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1542 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1544 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1546 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1548 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1551 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1553 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1555 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1557 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1559 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1561 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1563 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1564 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1565 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1566 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1567 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1569 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1570 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1571 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1572 statistics if necessary.
