26 2004-02-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
28 * filefrag.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
30 * badblocks.c (pattern_fill): Fix bug accidentally added when
31 fixing up gcc -Wall nits. badblocks -t random was not
32 getting handled properly because ~0 needed to be cast to
33 an unsigned long instead of an unsigned char. (Addresses
36 2004-02-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
38 * fsck.c (execute): Use '&&' instead of '&'. (It didn't cause a
39 problem because we got lucky, but let's do things right.
40 Fix from Thomas Woerner at Red Hat.)
42 2004-02-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
44 * filefrag.c: Use #ifdef __linux__ instead of __LINUX__ so that it
45 actually compiles on Linux. (Addresses Debian bug
48 2004-01-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
50 * chattr.1.in: Clarify man page.
52 * chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mklost+found.8.in,

63 * chattr.1.in: Update text indicating the 'c', 's', and 'u'
64 attributes are not currently supported to remove any
65 mention of a specific kernel version. (Addresses Debian

87 util.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks.
89 2003-09-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
91 * tune2fs.c (parse_e2label_options, parse_tune2fs_options,
92 do_findfs): Check the returned name from blkid_get_devname and
93 print an error if the requested LABEL/UUID does not exist.
95 2003-09-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
97 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Use ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc to
98 determine the locations of the superblock and block group
101 2003-11-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
103 * util.c (check_plausibility): Support 2.6 kernel header files,
104 instead of having the build to crash. (Addresses Debian
107 2003-09-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
109 * mke2fs.c (progress_init, progress_update): If the environment
110 variable MKE2FS_SKIP_PROGRESS is set, then don't print out
111 a progress bar; for regression test support.
112 (PRS): If the environment variable MKE2FS_DEVICE_SECTSIZE
113 is set, then override the device sector size. Again for
114 regression test support.
115 (main): If the environment variable MKE2FS_SKIP_CHECK_MSG
116 is set, then skip printing an information messages about
117 when the filesystem will be checked, since this number is
118 random and screws up the regression test expect script.
120 2003-08-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
122 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): Fix bug which caused -T largefile or
123 -T largefile4 to core dump due to a division by zero
124 error. (Addressed Debian bug #207082)
126 2003-08-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
128 * dumpe2fs.8.in, e2image.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
129 tune2fs.8.in: Adjust description line so that apropos
130 "ext2" or "ext3" will find the man page. (Addresses
133 2003-08-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
135 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Add check to make sure the file
136 offset of the device is page aligned. (Addresses Debian

141 boundaries. (Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for
144 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
146 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.34
148 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
150 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add warning if using -j and the blocksize is
151 greater than 4096, since some kernels don't support ext3
152 with large block sizes. (Addresses Debian bug #193773)
154 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Remove debugging printf. (Addresses
157 2003-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
159 * fsck.c (wait_many): Rename wait_all() to wait_many(), and have
160 new semantics: WAIT_ALL vs. WAIT_ATLEAST_ONE. This fixes
161 a bug where when fsck is waiting for another partition on
162 the same spindle, it spins wasting a lot of CPU.
164 2003-07-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
166 * badblocks.c (do_read, do_write, test_rw): Change the read/write
167 test to honor the -c option (number of blocks at a time).
168 do_read and do_write will try to turn on the O_DIRECT flag
169 if it appears that it is possible to use it. (Addresses
172 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): If sector_size is 0, don't use it to
173 set the blocksize to zero. This causes MD devices to fail
174 since they don't support the BLKSSZGET ioctl. (Addresses
177 2003-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
179 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main): If CONFIG_TESTIO_DEBUG, then use the
182 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Round down the default filesystem size so that
183 it is an even multiple of the page size, to work around
184 buffer cache kernel bug.
186 * badblocks.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (signed/unsigned type issues)
188 * blkid.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (missing #include <string.h>)
190 2003-05-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
192 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): If the sector size of the
193 device is larger than the default block size, then use the
194 sector size of the device as the default block size.
196 2003-05-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
198 * badblocks.c: Use an unsigned integer to support 4-byte test
199 patterns with the high bit set. Let the user explicitly
200 specify a random pattern with the argument "random".
202 2003-05-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
204 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Fix minor memory leak with test_rw() is
205 called for multiple passes.
206 (test_nd): Fix bug in chosing randomness for the
207 non-destructive test. We were only using 1 bit of
208 randomness per byte instead of 8 due to a bit-shift bug.
209 Also, initialize the random number generator from the time
210 in main(). Thanks to Thayne Harbaugh for pointing out
213 * badblocks.c, badblocks.8.in: Functional enhancements contributed
214 by Thayne Harbaugh. These patches allow the -t option to
215 control the test pattern(s) used when checking the disk.
216 Test patterns may be specified in all modes (r/w, r/o and
219 2003-05-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
221 * tune2fs.c (main, add_journal_device, remove_journal_device): If
222 --enable-testio-debug is set, then use the test_io manager
223 so we can watch what tune2fs is doing.
225 2003-05-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
227 * uuidgen.c (main): Add setup functions for NLS support.
229 * e2image.c (write_header), mke2fs.c (PRS): Add missing space in
232 * badblocks.c (usage), findsuper.c (main), util.c
233 (parse_journal_opts): Fix typo in usage string.
235 * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Add portability code to work around lack
238 * Makefile.in: Add $(LIBINTL) to the link line so we can support
239 using the internal gettext library.
241 * nls-enable.h: Add #ifndef protection around LOCALEDIR definition.
243 2003-04-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
245 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.33
247 2003-04-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
249 * Makefile.in (uuidgen): Avoid linking lsattr and chattr against
250 libext2fs, and avoid linking blkid against any of the ext2
253 2003-04-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
255 * Makefile.in (fsck): Fsck does not need to linked against the
256 ext2 libraries anymore.
258 2003-04-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
260 * fsck.c (main): Put stdout and stderr into non-buffered mode to
261 avoid cosmetic problems when running fsck under logsave.
263 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Avoid printing the version banner for mke2fs if
264 the -q option is specified. (Addresses Debian bug #172716)
266 * logsave.c: Add support for the -a option (only partially
267 implemented previously). Always log the command-line and
268 start and stop time to the log file. Add support for the
269 -s option, which skips text bracketed between control-A
270 and control-B characters.
272 2003-04-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
274 * logsave.c: New program which saves the output of a command in a
275 log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been
276 mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in
277 memory until it can write out the logfile).
279 2003-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
281 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the argument to -b is negative, treat it as a
282 minimum blocksize. (Feature requested by EVMS developers
283 for mainframe DASD's that do not support 1k blocksizes.)
285 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the -g option. (Addresses Debian bug #188318)
287 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug where mke2fs was incorrectly checking
288 the argument to the -g option, if the default block size
289 is used. (Addresses Debian bug #188319)
291 * tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Document the dir_index filesystem
292 feature which can be used with the -O option.
294 2003-04-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
296 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, interpret_type, fsck_device, ignore,
297 main): Don't evaluate the filesystem type when loading the
298 fstab file, since that might cause fsck to hang trying to
299 read from a floppy disk. (Addresses Debian bug #187812)
300 Add tmpfs and devpts to filesystems that should be
301 ignored, and add jfs, reseirfs, and xfs as filesystems
302 types where we should complain if we can't find the fsck
303 program for that filesystem type.
305 2003-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
307 * badblocks.c (bb_output): Flush output to the badblocks
308 output file as bad blocks are discovered.
310 2003-03-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
312 * chattr.1.in: Clarified the description of the 't' (no tail)
313 attribute. (Addresses Debian bug #185945)
315 2003-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
317 * fsck.c: And #ifdef protection around #include of malloc.h
319 2003-03-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
321 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Include blocks from slow
322 symbolic links in the raw image file.
324 2003-03-06 <tytso@mit.edu>
326 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, parse_e2label_options): Allow
327 the device name to be specified using LABEL=xxx or
328 UUID=xxx, since we're including the blkid library anyway.
329 (Addresses Debian bugs #166048, #179671)
331 * tune2fs.8.in, chattr.1.in: Minor man page fixes (Addresses
332 Debian bugs #175233, #175113, and #170497)
334 2003-03-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
336 * Makefile.in (DEPLIBS_BLKID): Use DEPLIBUUID, not LIBUUID to
337 avoid depending on -lsocket on Solaris.
339 2003-03-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
341 * fsck.c, util.c, tune2fs.c, Makefile.in: Use the blkid library
342 instead of the specialized functions in
343 get-device-by-label.c and fstype.c.
345 * base_device.c (base_device): Take a const char* as an argument.
347 * blkid.c: Remove deprecated -d option,

370 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, parse_escape): Add support for
371 backslash escaping in /etc/fstab. (i.e., so that \040
374 2002-11-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
376 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default;
377 the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not
378 the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards
379 compatibility support for dir_indexing removed.
381 2002-11-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
383 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.32
385 2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

400 is to be used for indicating the top of directory
401 hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator.
403 2002-10-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
405 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Pay attention to
406 partitions returned in /proc/partitions that begin with

419 erreoneously (and needlessly).
421 2002-10-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
423 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
424 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
425 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
426 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
429 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
431 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
432 if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
433 will still print out the contents of the block group
436 2002-10-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>

445 'o' which allows the system administrator to specify
446 default mount options.
448 2002-10-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
450 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Use a 16k buffer to

466 2002-09-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
468 * get_device_by_label.c: Applied sourceforge patch #613447, which
469 adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
472 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
473 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows
474 badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
475 CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.
477 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
479 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
480 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
481 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
482 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
484 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
486 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
488 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
490 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
491 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
492 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
493 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
494 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
496 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
498 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
500 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to

514 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
516 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
518 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
519 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
520 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
522 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
523 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
524 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
525 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
528 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
531 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
532 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)

535 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
538 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
539 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
540 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)

543 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
546 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
547 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
550 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
552 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
553 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
555 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
557 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
559 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
560 child fsck processes.
562 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
564 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
565 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
566 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
568 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
570 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
571 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
572 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
574 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
576 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)

585 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
587 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
589 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
590 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
592 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
594 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
595 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
596 is larger than the system's page size according to the
597 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
598 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
599 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
602 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
604 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
606 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
608 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
610 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
612 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
613 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
615 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
617 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
618 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
620 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
622 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
623 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
625 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
627 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
628 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
629 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
630 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
631 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
633 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
635 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
638 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
640 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
641 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
642 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
643 installing the man pages.
645 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
647 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
649 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
651 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
652 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
655 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
658 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
660 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26
662 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
664 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
667 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
668 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
669 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
671 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
673 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
674 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
675 envrionment variable.
677 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
679 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
681 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
683 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
685 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
686 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
689 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
691 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
692 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
693 the last checked time on the filesystem.
695 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
697 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
698 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
701 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
702 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
703 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
705 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
706 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
708 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
709 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
710 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
711 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
712 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
714 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
716 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
717 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
718 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
719 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
720 include search path.)
722 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
724 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
725 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
726 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
729 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
731 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
732 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
733 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
735 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
737 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
738 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),

740 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
741 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
743 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
744 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
746 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
749 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
751 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
752 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
753 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
755 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
757 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
760 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
762 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
763 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
765 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
767 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
770 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
772 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
773 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
774 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
775 into a real device name.
777 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
779 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
780 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
781 calls are a good thing. <g>
783 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
785 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
787 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.

791 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
793 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
795 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
798 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
799 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
801 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
803 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
806 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
808 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a

816 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
818 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
820 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
822 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
823 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
824 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
826 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
828 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
829 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
830 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
831 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
832 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
833 small device (less than 64 blocks).
835 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
837 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
840 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
841 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
842 display, since it only confuses people.
844 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
846 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
849 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
850 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
851 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
853 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
855 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
856 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
857 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
858 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
860 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
861 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
862 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
863 in the ext2 superblock.
865 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
866 malloc'd in interpret spec.
868 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
870 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
872 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
874 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
875 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
878 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
880 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
881 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
882 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
883 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
885 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
886 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
887 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
889 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
890 specified more than once.
892 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
894 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
895 text that erroneously implied that all features
896 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
899 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
901 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
902 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
903 should not be present.
905 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
907 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
909 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
910 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
912 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
914 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
915 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
916 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
917 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
919 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
921 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
922 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
924 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
926 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
927 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
928 blocksize of the new filesystem.
930 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
932 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
933 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
936 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
938 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
939 of the filesystem to determines its type.
941 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
942 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
944 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
946 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
948 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

952 2001-06-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
954 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
957 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
959 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
960 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
961 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
962 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
963 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
965 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
966 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
969 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
970 specified to configure.
972 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
974 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
975 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
977 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
978 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
981 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
982 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
983 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
985 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
987 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
988 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
989 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
991 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
993 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
994 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.

1004 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1006 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
1007 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
1008 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
1010 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
1011 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
1013 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1015 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
1016 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
1017 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
1018 for description of new -t semantics.
1020 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
1021 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
1022 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
1024 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
1025 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
1028 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1030 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
1031 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:

1037 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1039 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
1040 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
1042 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1044 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
1046 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
1047 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
1049 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1051 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
1052 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
1053 value depending on if superblock features are set.
1055 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1057 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.

1073 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
1075 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
1076 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
1077 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
1079 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
1080 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
1082 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1084 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
1086 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,

1088 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
1090 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
1091 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
1094 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
1097 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1099 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
1100 the base device, we should assume that the device is
1101 already active in order to force serialization.
1103 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1105 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
1106 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
1107 more sense to users.
1109 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1111 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
1112 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
1113 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
1114 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
1115 from journal device.
1116 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
1117 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
1118 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
1120 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1122 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
1123 documentation for the extern journal device support.
1125 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
1128 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1130 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
1131 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
1133 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
1134 number to be treated as a journal size.
1136 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
1139 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
1140 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
1141 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
1142 entire device to get zero'ed.
1144 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1146 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
1147 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
1150 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
1152 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
1153 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
1154 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
1155 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
1156 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
1157 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
1158 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
1159 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
1160 using the absolute size of the journal.
1162 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1164 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
1165 Also handle the case where the default journal size
1166 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
1167 the filesystem will be checked.
1169 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1171 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
1173 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1175 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
1178 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
1179 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
1182 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
1183 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
1185 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1187 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
1188 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
1189 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
1190 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
1191 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
1192 with the rest of the options out there.)
1194 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
1195 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
1196 from the external journal's filesystem list.
1198 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
1199 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
1200 given a filesystem size.
1202 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
1205 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
1206 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
1208 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1210 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
1211 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
1212 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
1214 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
1215 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
1216 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
1217 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
1218 have been created via separate step.
1220 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
1221 information about an external journal device.
1223 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1225 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
1226 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
1227 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
1228 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
1229 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
1230 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
1231 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
1232 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
1234 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
1236 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
1237 stdout after printing in-progress message.
1238 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
1239 the mount status of the device.
1241 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1243 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
1244 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
1245 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
1246 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
1247 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
1249 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
1252 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
1254 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1256 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
1257 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
1258 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
1260 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1262 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
1265 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
1266 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
1269 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
1271 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
1272 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
1274 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1276 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
1277 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
1278 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
1279 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
1281 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
1282 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
1283 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
1285 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
1286 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
1288 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1290 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
1291 struct ext2_super_block.
1293 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
1294 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
1295 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
1296 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
1297 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
1298 using our own version now).
1300 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1302 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
1303 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
1304 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
1305 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
1306 the parallel_root option.
1308 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
1309 the file attributes.
1311 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
1312 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
1314 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
1315 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
1316 support for the journaled data flag.
1318 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
1320 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1322 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
1324 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
1325 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
1327 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1329 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
1332 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
1333 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
1334 instead of core dumping.
1336 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1338 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
1339 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
1340 journal creation routines for this purpose.
1342 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
1343 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
1345 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
1346 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
1348 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1350 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
1351 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
1354 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
1355 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
1357 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
1359 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1361 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
1362 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
1365 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
1366 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
1367 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
1368 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
1371 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
1372 group names to uid's before storing them in the
1373 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
1375 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1377 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
1378 option=argument style options, and add support for
1379 creating filesystems with external journals.
1381 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
1383 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1385 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
1386 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
1388 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1390 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
1391 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
1394 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
1397 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
1398 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
1401 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
1402 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
1405 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1407 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
1410 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
1412 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
1413 systems with four IDE interfaces.
1415 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
1417 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1420 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1421 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1423 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1425 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1426 we can't find the device using the name given by
1427 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1428 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1430 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1432 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1433 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1434 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1436 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1438 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1440 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1442 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1443 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1445 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1447 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1448 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1450 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1452 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1454 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1456 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1457 are mutually exclusive.
1459 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1460 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1461 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1464 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1465 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1466 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1467 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1468 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1469 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1470 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1471 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1474 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1475 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1476 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1477 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1480 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1482 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1483 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1484 the progress bar display logic.
1486 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1487 max_mount_count is negative.
1489 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1490 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1493 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1494 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1495 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1496 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1497 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1498 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1500 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1501 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1502 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1504 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1505 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1506 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1509 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1510 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1511 device as a default.
1513 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1515 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1516 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1517 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1518 old, overly complicated logic.
1519 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1520 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1521 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1523 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1525 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1526 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1527 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1528 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1530 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1532 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1533 or LABEL= specification is given.
1535 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1536 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1537 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1538 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1539 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1540 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1542 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1543 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1544 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1545 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1546 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1548 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1550 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1551 support fdatasync().
1553 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1555 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1556 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1557 manually define optarg and optind.
1559 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1562 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1563 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1564 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1565 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1567 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1568 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1570 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1572 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1575 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1577 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1579 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1581 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1582 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1584 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1585 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1586 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1587 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1590 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1591 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1592 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1594 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1596 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1597 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1598 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1599 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1600 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1602 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1603 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1604 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1605 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1606 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1607 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1609 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1611 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1613 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1614 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1615 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1616 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1617 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1619 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1620 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1622 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1624 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1626 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1627 document the -s option.
1629 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1631 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1632 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1633 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1634 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1636 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1637 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1638 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1639 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1640 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1641 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1642 Finally, the original data is written back.
1644 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1645 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1646 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1647 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1648 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1649 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1650 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1651 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1652 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1653 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1654 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1655 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1656 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1657 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1658 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1660 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1661 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1662 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1665 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1666 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1668 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1669 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1670 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1671 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1672 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1673 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1675 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1676 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1677 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1678 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1679 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1680 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1681 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1682 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1685 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1686 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1687 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1688 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1689 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1690 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1691 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1692 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1693 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1694 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1695 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1696 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1697 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1698 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1699 completely reliable.
1701 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1702 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1703 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1704 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1705 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1706 for your information.
1708 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1709 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1710 which I install which will write back whatever original
1711 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1712 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1714 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1715 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1716 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1717 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1718 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1719 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1720 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1721 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1722 should be in the distribution."
1724 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1726 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1727 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1728 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1730 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1732 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1733 option is properly named.
1735 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1737 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1738 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1739 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1741 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1743 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1744 the source directory.
1746 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1748 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1750 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1752 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1753 filesystem option is properly named.
1755 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1757 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1758 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1759 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1761 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1763 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1765 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1767 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1768 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1769 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1771 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1772 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1773 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1774 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1776 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1777 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1778 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1781 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1782 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1783 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1784 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1787 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1788 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1790 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1792 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1794 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1795 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1796 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1798 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1799 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1802 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1804 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1806 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1808 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1809 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1810 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1811 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1813 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1814 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1815 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1816 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1818 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1820 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1821 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1822 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1823 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1824 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1826 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1828 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1829 changing the sparse superblock option
1831 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1832 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1833 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1836 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1838 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1839 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1841 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1843 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1846 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1849 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1850 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1853 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1856 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1858 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1861 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1863 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1865 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1867 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1868 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1869 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1870 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1871 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1872 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1873 the filesystem the system would make.
1875 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1877 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1878 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1879 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1880 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1881 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1883 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1885 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1886 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1887 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1889 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1891 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1892 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1894 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1896 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1897 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1898 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1899 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1900 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1901 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1903 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1904 UUID=bar type specifications.
1906 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1908 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1909 clear out a large block number.
1911 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1913 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1914 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1916 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1918 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1919 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1921 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1923 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1926 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1928 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1929 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1930 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1931 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1933 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1935 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1938 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1940 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1941 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1943 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1945 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1946 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1947 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1948 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1950 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1952 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1953 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1954 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1955 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1956 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1957 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1959 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1961 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1962 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1963 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1964 fsck pass structure.
1965 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1966 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1969 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1971 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
1973 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1978 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1980 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1981 needs to be treated as zero.
1983 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1985 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1986 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1988 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1989 program if the -V option is given.
1991 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1992 through a directory.
1994 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1996 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1997 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1999 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
2000 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
2002 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2004 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
2005 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
2007 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2009 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
2011 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2013 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
2014 seperated", instead of common separated)
2016 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2018 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
2020 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2022 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
2023 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
2024 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
2026 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2028 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
2030 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
2031 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
2032 things look nice on an 80 character display.
2034 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2036 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage

2041 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.12
2043 1998-07-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2045 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
2046 being written by e2fsprogs.
2048 1998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2050 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
2052 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
2053 * tune2fs.c (usage):
2055 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
2056 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
2058 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
2059 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
2062 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2064 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
2067 1998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2069 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove check for filesystems with the noauto
2072 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2074 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
2075 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
2076 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
2077 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
2078 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
2080 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2082 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.

2086 1998-03-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2088 * chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may
2089 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
2091 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
2094 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
2095 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
2098 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
2099 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
2100 that the label will be truncated.
2102 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
2103 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
2104 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
2106 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2108 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning

2137 * badblocks.c (main):
2138 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
2139 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
2140 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
2143 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2145 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
2146 to fix a -Wall warning.
2148 Mon Sep 15 22:07:12 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2151 * mklost+found.c (main):
2153 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
2155 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
2156 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
2157 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
2160 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2162 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which
2163 provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem
2166 * Makefile.in (SPROGS): Add Makefile support to build e2label
2168 Tue Jun 17 01:33:20 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2170 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.11
2172 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2174 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
2175 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
2176 80 columns when making a really big disk.
2178 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2180 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
2181 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
2182 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
2184 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
2185 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
2186 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
2188 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>

2192 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
2194 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
2195 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
2196 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
2197 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
2200 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
2201 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
2203 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
2205 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
2206 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
2209 Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2215 * chattr.1.in: Updated man page so that the 'A' attribute is
2216 specified everywhere.
2218 * chattr.c (usage): Added usage message for the 'A' attribute.
2220 Fri Apr 11 18:56:26 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2222 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.08
2224 Thu Apr 10 07:08:03 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2226 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): List the offsets of the inode and block
2227 bitmaps, and the inode table. List the block boundaries
2230 Sat Apr 5 11:55:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2232 * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
2233 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
2235 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
2236 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
2237 sparse superblock flag is set.
2238 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
2239 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the

2246 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2248 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and
2249 i_gid to be the real user and group id.
2251 Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2253 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error

2256 Sat Mar 1 10:43:32 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2258 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug where the PATH environment variable isn't
2259 set when it is unset.
2261 Tue Jan 14 12:30:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2263 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
2264 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
2265 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
2268 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2270 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
2272 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
2274 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2276 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that
2277 they frequently update the block number field.
2279 * badblocks.8.in: Document the optional start-block parameter
2281 Mon Oct 14 11:52:58 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2283 * mke2fs.c: Updated to use new ext2fs_allocate_tables() function.

2304 Sat Sep 7 07:34:11 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2306 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support for new option -C, which sets the
2307 current number of mounts.
2308 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
2309 mostly for debugging.
2311 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2313 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.
2314 (SPROGS): Use @FSCK_PROG@ instead of fsck.
2316 Thu Aug 22 00:51:44 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2318 * mke2fs.c (zap_bootblock): Don't do zap_bootblock on a
2321 Tue Aug 20 00:15:46 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2323 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
2324 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
2326 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2329 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
2330 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
2331 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
2334 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
2335 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
2336 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
2337 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
2340 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
2342 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
2343 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
2344 and no version number is specified.
2346 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2348 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
2350 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2352 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
2355 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2357 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
2359 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2361 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
2362 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
2364 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2366 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
2368 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
2371 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2373 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
2374 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
2375 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
2376 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
2377 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
2378 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
2379 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
2380 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
2383 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2385 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
2387 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2389 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
2390 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
2393 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2395 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
2396 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
2397 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
2398 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
2399 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
2401 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2403 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
2406 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2408 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
2409 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
2411 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2413 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
2415 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2417 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
2418 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
2419 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
2421 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2423 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
2426 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2428 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
2429 function to determine if the device is mounted.
2431 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
2432 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
2433 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
2434 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
2436 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2438 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
2439 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
2440 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
2443 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2452 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
2454 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2456 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
2457 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
2458 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
2461 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
2463 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2465 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2466 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
2467 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
2469 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2471 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2472 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2473 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2474 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2477 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2478 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
2479 alloca is not portable!
2481 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
2482 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2485 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
2487 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
2489 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
2492 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
2494 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2495 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
2497 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2499 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2500 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
2502 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2504 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2506 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2507 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2509 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2511 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2513 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
2514 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
2515 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
2516 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2518 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
2519 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2520 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2521 statically sized buffer.
2522 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2523 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2525 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2526 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2527 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2528 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2529 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2531 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2532 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2533 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2534 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2537 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2538 support separate compilation directories.
2540 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2542 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2543 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2544 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2545 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2547 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2548 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2549 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2550 very large partition.
2552 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2553 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2554 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2556 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2557 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2558 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2559 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2560 ioctl, which most do.)
2562 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2563 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2564 during 0.5b development.)
2566 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2568 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2569 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2570 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2571 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2574 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2575 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2576 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2578 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2580 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2582 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2583 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2584 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2586 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2588 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2590 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2592 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2594 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2595 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2596 all partitions should be checked.
2598 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2600 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2603 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2606 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2608 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2609 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2611 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2613 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2615 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2617 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2620 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2622 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2624 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2626 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2628 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2630 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2632 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2633 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2634 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2635 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2636 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2638 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2639 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2640 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2641 statistics if necessary.
