3 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
5 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
7 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.21
9 2001-06-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
11 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
14 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
16 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
17 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
18 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
19 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
20 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
22 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
23 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
26 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
27 specified to configure.
29 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
31 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
32 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
34 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
35 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
38 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
39 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
40 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
42 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
44 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
45 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
46 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
48 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
50 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
51 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.
53 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
55 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
57 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
59 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
61 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
63 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
64 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
65 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
67 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
68 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
70 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
72 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
73 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
74 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
75 for description of new -t semantics.
77 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
78 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
79 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
81 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
82 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
85 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
87 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
88 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
89 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
91 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
94 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
96 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
97 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
99 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
101 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
103 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
104 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
106 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
108 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
109 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
110 value depending on if superblock features are set.
112 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
114 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
116 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
117 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
118 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
120 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
123 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
125 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
127 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
129 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
130 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
132 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
133 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
134 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
136 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
137 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
139 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
141 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
143 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
144 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
145 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
147 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
148 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
151 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
154 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
156 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
157 the base device, we should assume that the device is
158 already active in order to force serialization.
160 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
162 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
163 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
166 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
168 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
169 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
170 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
171 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
173 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
174 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
175 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
177 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
179 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
180 documentation for the extern journal device support.
182 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
185 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
187 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
188 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
190 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
191 number to be treated as a journal size.
193 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
196 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
197 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
198 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
199 entire device to get zero'ed.
201 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
203 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
204 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
207 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
209 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
210 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
211 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
212 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
213 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
214 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
215 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
216 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
217 using the absolute size of the journal.
219 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
221 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
222 Also handle the case where the default journal size
223 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
224 the filesystem will be checked.
226 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
228 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
230 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
232 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
235 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
236 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
239 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
240 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
242 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
244 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
245 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
246 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
247 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
248 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
249 with the rest of the options out there.)
251 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
252 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
253 from the external journal's filesystem list.
255 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
256 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
257 given a filesystem size.
259 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
262 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
263 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
265 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
267 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
268 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
269 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
271 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
272 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
273 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
274 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
275 have been created via separate step.
277 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
278 information about an external journal device.
280 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
282 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
283 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
284 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
285 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
286 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
287 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
288 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
289 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
291 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
293 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
294 stdout after printing in-progress message.
295 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
296 the mount status of the device.
298 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
300 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
301 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
302 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
303 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
304 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
306 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
309 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
311 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
313 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
314 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
315 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
317 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
319 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
322 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
323 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
326 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
328 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
329 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
331 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
333 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
334 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
335 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
336 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
338 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
339 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
340 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
342 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
343 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
345 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
347 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
348 struct ext2_super_block.
350 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
351 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
352 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
353 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
354 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
355 using our own version now).
357 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
359 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
360 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
361 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
362 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
363 the parallel_root option.
365 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
368 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
369 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
371 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
372 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
373 support for the journaled data flag.
375 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
377 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
379 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
381 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
382 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
384 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
386 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
389 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
390 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
391 instead of core dumping.
393 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
395 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
396 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
397 journal creation routines for this purpose.
399 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
400 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
402 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
403 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
405 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
407 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
408 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
411 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
412 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
414 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
416 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
418 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
419 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
422 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
423 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
424 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
425 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
428 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
429 group names to uid's before storing them in the
430 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
432 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
434 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
435 option=argument style options, and add support for
436 creating filesystems with external journals.
438 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
440 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
442 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
443 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
445 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
447 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
448 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
451 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
454 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
455 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
458 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
459 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
462 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
464 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
467 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
469 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
470 systems with four IDE interfaces.
472 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
474 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
477 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
478 the inode table location in non-hex format.
480 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
482 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
483 we can't find the device using the name given by
484 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
485 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
487 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
489 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
490 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
491 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
493 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
495 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
497 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
499 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
500 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
502 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
504 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
505 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
507 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
509 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
511 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
513 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
514 are mutually exclusive.
516 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
517 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
518 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
521 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
522 variable before going into the write verification loop.
523 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
524 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
525 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
526 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
527 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
528 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
531 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
532 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
533 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
534 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
537 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
539 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
540 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
541 the progress bar display logic.
543 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
544 max_mount_count is negative.
546 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
547 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
550 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
551 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
552 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
553 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
554 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
555 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
557 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
558 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
559 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
561 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
562 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
563 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
566 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
567 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
570 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
572 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
573 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
574 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
575 old, overly complicated logic.
576 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
577 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
578 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
580 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
582 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
583 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
584 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
585 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
587 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
589 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
590 or LABEL= specification is given.
592 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
593 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
594 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
595 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
596 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
597 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
599 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
600 proceed_question that was busted due to the
601 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
602 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
603 cleared of the previous question's newline.
605 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
607 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
610 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
612 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
613 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
614 manually define optarg and optind.
616 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
619 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
620 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
621 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
622 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
624 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
625 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
627 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
629 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
632 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
634 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
636 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
638 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
639 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
641 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
642 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
643 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
644 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
647 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
648 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
649 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
651 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
653 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
654 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
655 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
656 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
657 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
659 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
660 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
661 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
662 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
663 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
664 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
666 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
668 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
670 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
671 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
672 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
673 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
674 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
676 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
677 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
679 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
681 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
683 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
684 document the -s option.
686 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
688 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
689 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
690 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
691 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
693 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
694 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
695 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
696 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
697 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
698 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
699 Finally, the original data is written back.
701 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
702 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
703 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
704 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
705 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
706 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
707 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
708 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
709 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
710 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
711 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
712 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
713 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
714 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
715 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
717 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
718 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
719 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
722 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
723 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
725 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
726 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
727 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
728 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
729 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
730 and want the host hard drive to flush.
732 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
733 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
734 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
735 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
736 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
737 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
738 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
739 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
742 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
743 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
744 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
745 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
746 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
747 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
748 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
749 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
750 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
751 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
752 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
753 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
754 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
755 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
758 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
759 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
760 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
761 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
762 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
763 for your information.
765 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
766 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
767 which I install which will write back whatever original
768 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
769 (except SIGKILL, of course).
771 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
772 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
773 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
774 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
775 could learn how to update the manpage and other
776 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
777 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
778 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
779 should be in the distribution."
781 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
783 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
784 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
785 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
787 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
789 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
790 option is properly named.
792 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
794 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
795 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
796 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
798 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
800 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
801 the source directory.
803 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
805 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
807 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
809 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
810 filesystem option is properly named.
812 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
814 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
815 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
816 fsck -As can do so interactively.
818 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
820 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
822 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
824 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
825 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
826 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
828 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
829 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
830 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
831 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
833 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
834 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
835 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
838 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
839 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
840 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
841 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
844 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
845 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
847 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
849 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
851 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
852 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
853 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
855 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
856 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
859 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
861 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
863 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
865 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
866 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
867 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
868 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
870 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
871 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
872 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
873 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
875 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
877 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
878 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
879 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
880 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
881 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
883 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
885 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
886 changing the sparse superblock option
888 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
889 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
890 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
893 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
895 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
896 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
898 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
900 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
903 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
906 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
907 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
910 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
913 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
915 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
918 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
920 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
922 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
924 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
925 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
926 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
927 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
928 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
929 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
930 the filesystem the system would make.
932 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
934 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
935 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
936 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
937 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
938 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
940 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
942 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
943 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
944 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
946 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
948 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
949 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
951 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
953 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
954 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
955 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
956 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
957 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
958 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
960 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
961 UUID=bar type specifications.
963 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
965 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
966 clear out a large block number.
968 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
970 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
971 appears mounted if the force option is given.
973 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
975 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
976 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
978 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
980 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
983 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
985 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
986 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
987 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
988 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
990 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
992 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
995 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
997 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
998 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1000 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1002 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1003 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1004 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1005 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1007 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1009 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1010 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1011 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1012 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1013 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1014 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1016 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1018 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1019 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1020 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1021 fsck pass structure.
1022 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1023 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1026 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1028 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
1030 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1032 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
1035 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1037 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1038 needs to be treated as zero.
1040 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1042 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1043 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1045 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1046 program if the -V option is given.
1048 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1049 through a directory.
1051 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1053 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1054 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1056 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1057 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1059 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1061 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1062 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1064 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1066 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
1068 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1070 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1071 seperated", instead of common separated)
1073 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1075 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1077 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1079 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1080 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1081 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1083 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1085 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1087 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1088 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1089 things look nice on an 80 character display.
1091 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1093 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage
1096 1998-07-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1098 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.12
1100 1998-07-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1102 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
1103 being written by e2fsprogs.
1105 1998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1107 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
1109 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
1110 * tune2fs.c (usage):
1112 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
1113 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
1115 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
1116 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1119 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1121 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
1124 1998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1126 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove check for filesystems with the noauto
1129 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1131 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
1132 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1133 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1134 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1135 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
1137 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1139 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.
1141 * e2label.c: Fix -Wall warning by making functions static.
1143 1998-03-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1152 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1155 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1156 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1157 that the label will be truncated.
1159 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1160 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1161 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

1176 of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or
1179 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
1180 bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the

1195 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1196 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
1197 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
1200 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1202 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,

1208 * mklost+found.c (main):
1210 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1212 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
1213 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
1214 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
1217 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

1231 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
1232 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
1233 80 columns when making a really big disk.
1235 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1237 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
1238 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
1239 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
1241 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
1242 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
1243 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
1245 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>

1249 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1251 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
1252 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
1253 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1254 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1257 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1258 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1260 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1262 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
1263 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
1266 Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1268 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.09
1270 Fri Apr 11 18:57:24 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1289 * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
1290 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
1292 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
1293 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
1294 sparse superblock flag is set.
1295 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
1296 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
1299 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1301 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
1303 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1305 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and

1320 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
1321 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
1322 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
1325 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1327 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
1329 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
1331 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1333 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that

1364 current number of mounts.
1365 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
1366 mostly for debugging.
1368 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1370 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.

1381 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
1383 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1386 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1387 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1388 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1391 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1392 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1393 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1394 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1397 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1399 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1400 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1401 and no version number is specified.
1403 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1405 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
1407 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1409 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
1412 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1414 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1416 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1418 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1419 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1421 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1423 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1425 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1428 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1430 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1431 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1432 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1433 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1434 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1435 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1436 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1437 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1440 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1442 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1444 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1446 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1447 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1450 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1452 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1453 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1454 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1455 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1456 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1458 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1460 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1463 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1465 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1466 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1468 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1470 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1472 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1474 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1475 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1476 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1478 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1480 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1483 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1485 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1486 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1488 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1489 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1490 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1491 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1493 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1495 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1496 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1497 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1500 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1509 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1511 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1513 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1514 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1515 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1518 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1520 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1522 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1523 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1524 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1526 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1528 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1529 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1530 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1531 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1534 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1535 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1536 alloca is not portable!
1538 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1539 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1542 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1544 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1546 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1549 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1551 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1552 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1554 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1556 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1557 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1559 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1561 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1563 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1564 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1566 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1568 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1570 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1571 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1572 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1573 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1575 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1576 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1577 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1578 statically sized buffer.
1579 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1580 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1582 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1583 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1584 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1585 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1586 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1588 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1589 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1590 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1591 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1594 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1595 support separate compilation directories.
1597 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1599 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1600 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1601 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1602 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1604 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1605 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1606 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1607 very large partition.
1609 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1610 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1611 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1613 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1614 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1615 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1616 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1617 ioctl, which most do.)
1619 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1620 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1621 during 0.5b development.)
1623 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1625 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1626 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1627 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1628 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1631 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1632 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1633 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1635 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1637 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1639 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1640 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1641 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1643 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1645 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1647 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1649 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1651 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1652 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1653 all partitions should be checked.
1655 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1657 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1660 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1663 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1665 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1666 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1668 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1670 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1672 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1674 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1677 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.

1689 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1690 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1691 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1692 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1693 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1695 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1696 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1697 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1698 statistics if necessary.
