1 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
3 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
4 filesystem option is properly named.
6 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
8 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
9 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
10 fsck -As can do so interactively.
12 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
14 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
16 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
18 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
19 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
20 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
22 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
23 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
24 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
25 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
27 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
28 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
29 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
32 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
33 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
34 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
35 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
38 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
39 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
41 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
43 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
45 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
46 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
47 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
49 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
50 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
53 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
55 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
57 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
59 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
60 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
61 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
62 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
64 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
65 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
66 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
67 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
69 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
71 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
72 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
73 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
74 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
75 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
77 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
79 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
80 changing the sparse superblock option
82 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
83 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
84 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
87 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
89 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
90 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
92 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
94 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
97 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
100 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
101 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
104 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
107 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
109 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
112 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
114 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
116 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
118 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
119 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
120 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
121 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
122 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
123 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
124 the filesystem the system would make.
126 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
128 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
129 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
130 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
131 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
132 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
134 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
136 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
137 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
138 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
140 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
142 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
143 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
145 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
147 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
148 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
149 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
150 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
151 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
152 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
154 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
155 UUID=bar type specifications.
157 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
159 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
160 clear out a large block number.
162 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
164 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
165 appears mounted if the force option is given.
167 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
169 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
170 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
172 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
174 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
177 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
179 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
180 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
181 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
182 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
184 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
186 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
189 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
191 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
192 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
194 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
196 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
197 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
198 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
199 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
201 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
203 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
204 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
205 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
206 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
207 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
208 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
210 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
212 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
213 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
214 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
216 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
217 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
220 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
222 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
224 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

232 needs to be treated as zero.
234 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
236 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow the user to specify exactly how many
237 inodes he/she wishes.
239 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
240 program if the -V option is given.
242 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
245 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
247 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
248 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
250 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
251 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
253 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
255 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
256 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.

260 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
262 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
264 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
265 seperated", instead of common separated)
267 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
269 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
271 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
273 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
274 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
275 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
277 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
279 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
281 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
282 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
283 things look nice on an 80 character display.

323 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
325 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
326 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
327 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
328 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
329 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
331 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
333 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.

351 that the label will be truncated.
353 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
354 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
355 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
357 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
359 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning

452 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
454 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
456 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not

580 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
581 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
582 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
585 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
586 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
587 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
588 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
591 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
593 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
594 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
595 and no version number is specified.
597 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
599 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
601 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
603 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
606 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
608 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
610 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
612 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
613 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
615 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
617 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
619 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
622 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
624 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
625 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
626 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
627 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
628 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
629 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
630 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
631 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
634 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
636 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
638 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
640 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
641 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
644 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
646 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
647 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
648 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
649 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
650 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
652 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
654 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
657 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
659 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
660 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
662 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
664 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
666 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
668 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
669 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
670 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
672 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
674 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
677 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
679 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
680 function to determine if the device is mounted.
682 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
683 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
684 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
685 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
687 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
689 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
690 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
691 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
694 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
703 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
705 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
707 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
708 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
709 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
712 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
714 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
716 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
717 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
718 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
720 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
722 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
723 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
724 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
725 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
728 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
729 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
730 alloca is not portable!
732 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
733 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
736 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
738 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
740 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
743 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
745 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
746 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
748 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
750 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
751 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
753 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
755 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
757 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
758 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
760 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
762 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
764 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
765 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
766 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
767 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
769 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
770 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
771 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
772 statically sized buffer.
773 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
774 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
776 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
777 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
778 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
779 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
780 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
782 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
783 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
784 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
785 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
788 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
789 support separate compilation directories.
791 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
793 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
794 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
795 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
796 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
798 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
799 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
800 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
801 very large partition.
803 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
804 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
805 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
807 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
808 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
809 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
810 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
811 ioctl, which most do.)
813 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
814 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
815 during 0.5b development.)
817 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
819 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
820 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
821 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
822 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
825 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
826 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
827 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
829 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
831 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
833 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
834 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
835 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
837 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
839 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
841 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
843 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
845 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
846 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
847 all partitions should be checked.
849 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
851 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
854 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
857 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
859 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
860 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
862 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
864 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
866 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
868 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
871 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
873 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
875 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
877 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
879 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
881 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
883 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
884 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
885 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
886 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
887 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
889 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
890 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
891 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
892 statistics if necessary.
