5 2003-04-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
7 * Makefile.in (uuidgen): Avoid linking lsattr and chattr against
8 libext2fs, and avoid linking blkid against any of the ext2
11 2003-04-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
13 * Makefile.in (fsck): Fsck does not need to linked against the
14 ext2 libraries anymore.
16 2003-04-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
18 * fsck.c (main): Put stdout and stderr into non-buffered mode to
19 avoid cosmetic problems when running fsck under logsave.
21 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Avoid printing the version banner for mke2fs if
22 the -q option is specified. (Addresses Debian bug #172716)
24 * logsave.c: Add support for the -a option (only partially
25 implemented previously). Always log the command-line and
26 start and stop time to the log file. Add support for the
27 -s option, which skips text bracketed between control-A
28 and control-B characters.
30 2003-04-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
32 * logsave.c: New program which saves the output of a command in a
33 log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been
34 mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in
35 memory until it can write out the logfile).
37 2003-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
39 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the argument to -b is negative, treat it as a
40 minimum blocksize. (Feature requested by EVMS developers
41 for mainframe DASD's that do not support 1k blocksizes.)
43 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the -g option. (Addresses Debian bug #188318)
45 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug where mke2fs was incorrectly checking
46 the argument to the -g option, if the default block size
47 is used. (Addresses Debian bug #188319)
49 * tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Document the dir_index filesystem
50 feature which can be used with the -O option.
52 2003-04-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
54 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, interpret_type, fsck_device, ignore,
55 main): Don't evaluate the filesystem type when loading the
56 fstab file, since that might cause fsck to hang trying to
57 read from a floppy disk. (Addresses Debian bug #187812)
58 Add tmpfs and devpts to filesystems that should be
59 ignored, and add jfs, reseirfs, and xfs as filesystems
60 types where we should complain if we can't find the fsck
61 program for that filesystem type.
63 2003-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
65 * badblocks.c (bb_output): Flush output to the badblocks
66 output file as bad blocks are discovered.
68 2003-03-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

80 symbolic links in the raw image file.
82 2003-03-06 <tytso@mit.edu>
84 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, parse_e2label_options): Allow
85 the device name to be specified using LABEL=xxx or
86 UUID=xxx, since we're including the blkid library anyway.
87 (Addresses Debian bugs #166048, #179671)
89 * tune2fs.8.in, chattr.1.in: Minor man page fixes (Addresses
90 Debian bugs #175233, #175113, and #170497)
92 2003-03-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
94 * Makefile.in (DEPLIBS_BLKID): Use DEPLIBUUID, not LIBUUID to
95 avoid depending on -lsocket on Solaris.
97 2003-03-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
99 * fsck.c, util.c, tune2fs.c, Makefile.in: Use the blkid library
100 instead of the specialized functions in
101 get-device-by-label.c and fstype.c.
103 * base_device.c (base_device): Take a const char* as an argument.
105 * blkid.c: Remove deprecated -d option,
107 2003-02-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

129 backslash escaping in /etc/fstab. (i.e., so that \040
132 2002-11-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
134 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default;
135 the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not
136 the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards
137 compatibility support for dir_indexing removed.
139 2002-11-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
141 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.32
143 2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

155 2002-11-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
157 * chattr.c, chattr.1.in: Add support for a new inode flag, which
158 is to be used for indicating the top of directory
159 hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator.
161 2002-10-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
163 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Pay attention to
164 partitions returned in /proc/partitions that begin with
165 with the string "lvm".
167 2002-10-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
169 * Makefile.in (install): Search all compression extensions when
170 deleting old man pages.
172 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix bug in algorithm which determined

177 erreoneously (and needlessly).
179 2002-10-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
181 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
182 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
183 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
184 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
187 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
189 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
190 if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
191 will still print out the contents of the block group
194 2002-10-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>

202 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (update_mntopts, main): Add new option
203 'o' which allows the system administrator to specify
204 default mount options.
206 2002-10-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
208 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Use a 16k buffer to
209 read in /proc/partitions in one go.
211 * badblocks.c, fsck.c, fstype.c, get_device_by_label.c,
212 tune2fs.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.

233 CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.
235 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
237 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
238 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
239 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
240 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
242 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
244 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
246 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
248 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
249 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
250 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
251 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
252 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
254 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
256 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
258 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to
259 be set. If so, set the default hash to be TEA, and
260 initialize the hash seed to a random value.
262 2002-09-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
264 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Fix bug which caused

272 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
274 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
276 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
277 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
278 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
280 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
281 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
282 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
283 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
286 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
289 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
290 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
292 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive
293 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
296 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
297 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
298 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)
300 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page, and clarified text regarding
301 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
304 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
305 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
308 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
310 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
311 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
313 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
315 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
317 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
318 child fsck processes.
320 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
322 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
323 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
324 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
326 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
328 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
329 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
330 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
332 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
334 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)

343 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
345 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
347 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
348 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
350 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
352 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
353 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
354 is larger than the system's page size according to the
355 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
356 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
357 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
360 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
362 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
364 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>

368 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
370 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
371 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
373 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
375 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
376 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)

380 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
381 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
383 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
385 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
386 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
387 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
388 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
389 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
391 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
393 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
396 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
398 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
399 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
400 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
401 installing the man pages.
403 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
405 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
407 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
409 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
410 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
413 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
416 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
418 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26

422 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
425 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
426 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
427 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
429 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
431 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
432 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
433 envrionment variable.

441 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
443 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
444 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
447 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
449 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
450 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
451 the last checked time on the filesystem.
453 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
455 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
456 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
459 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
460 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
461 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
463 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
464 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
466 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
467 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
468 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
469 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
470 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
472 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
474 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
475 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
476 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
477 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
478 include search path.)
480 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
482 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
483 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
484 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
487 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
489 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
490 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
491 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
493 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
495 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
496 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
497 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
498 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
499 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
501 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
502 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
504 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
507 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
509 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
510 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
511 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
513 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
515 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
518 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
520 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
521 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
523 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
525 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
528 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
530 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
531 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
532 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
533 into a real device name.
535 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
537 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
538 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
539 calls are a good thing. <g>
541 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
543 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
545 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
547 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
549 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
551 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
553 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
556 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
557 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
559 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
561 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
564 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
566 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
568 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
570 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.

574 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
576 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
578 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
580 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
581 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
582 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
584 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
586 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
587 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
588 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
589 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
590 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
591 small device (less than 64 blocks).
593 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
595 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
598 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
599 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
600 display, since it only confuses people.
602 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
604 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
607 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
608 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
609 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
611 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
613 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
614 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
615 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
616 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
618 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
619 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
620 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
621 in the ext2 superblock.
623 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
624 malloc'd in interpret spec.
626 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
628 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
630 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
632 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
633 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
636 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
638 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
639 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
640 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
641 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
643 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
644 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
645 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
647 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
648 specified more than once.
650 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
652 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
653 text that erroneously implied that all features
654 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
657 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
659 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
660 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
661 should not be present.
663 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
665 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
667 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
668 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
670 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
672 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
673 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
674 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
675 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
677 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
679 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
680 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
682 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
684 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
685 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
686 blocksize of the new filesystem.
688 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
690 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
691 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
694 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
696 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
697 of the filesystem to determines its type.
699 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
700 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
702 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
704 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
706 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

710 2001-06-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
712 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
715 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
717 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
718 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
719 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
720 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
721 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
723 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
724 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
727 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
728 specified to configure.
730 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
732 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
733 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
735 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
736 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
739 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
740 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
741 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
743 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
745 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
746 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
747 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
749 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
751 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
752 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.
754 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
756 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
758 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
760 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
762 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
764 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
765 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
766 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
768 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
769 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
771 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
773 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
774 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
775 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
776 for description of new -t semantics.
778 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
779 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
780 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
782 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
783 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
786 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
788 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
789 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
790 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
792 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
795 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
797 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
798 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
800 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
802 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
804 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
805 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
807 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
809 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
810 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
811 value depending on if superblock features are set.
813 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
815 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
817 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
818 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
819 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
821 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
824 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
826 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
828 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
830 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
831 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
833 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
834 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
835 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
837 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
838 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
840 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
842 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
844 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
845 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
846 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
848 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
849 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
852 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
855 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
857 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
858 the base device, we should assume that the device is
859 already active in order to force serialization.
861 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
863 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
864 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
867 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
869 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
870 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
871 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
872 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
874 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
875 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
876 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
878 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
880 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
881 documentation for the extern journal device support.
883 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
886 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
888 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
889 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
891 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
892 number to be treated as a journal size.
894 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
897 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
898 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
899 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
900 entire device to get zero'ed.
902 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
904 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
905 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
908 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
910 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
911 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
912 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
913 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
914 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
915 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
916 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
917 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
918 using the absolute size of the journal.
920 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
922 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
923 Also handle the case where the default journal size
924 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
925 the filesystem will be checked.
927 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
929 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
931 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
933 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
936 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
937 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
940 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
941 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
943 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
945 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
946 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
947 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
948 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
949 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
950 with the rest of the options out there.)
952 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
953 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
954 from the external journal's filesystem list.
956 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
957 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
958 given a filesystem size.
960 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
963 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
964 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
966 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
968 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
969 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
970 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
972 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
973 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
974 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
975 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
976 have been created via separate step.
978 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
979 information about an external journal device.
981 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
983 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
984 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
985 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
986 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
987 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
988 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
989 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
990 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
992 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
994 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
995 stdout after printing in-progress message.
996 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
997 the mount status of the device.
999 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1001 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
1002 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
1003 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
1004 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
1005 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
1007 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
1010 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
1012 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1014 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
1015 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
1016 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
1018 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1020 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
1023 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
1024 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
1027 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
1029 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
1030 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
1032 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1034 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
1035 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
1036 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
1037 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
1039 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
1040 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
1041 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
1043 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
1044 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
1046 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1048 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
1049 struct ext2_super_block.
1051 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
1052 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
1053 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
1054 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
1055 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
1056 using our own version now).
1058 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1060 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
1061 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
1062 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
1063 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
1064 the parallel_root option.
1066 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
1067 the file attributes.
1069 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
1070 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
1072 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
1073 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
1074 support for the journaled data flag.
1076 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
1078 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1080 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
1082 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
1083 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
1085 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1087 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
1090 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
1091 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
1092 instead of core dumping.
1094 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1096 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
1097 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
1098 journal creation routines for this purpose.
1100 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
1101 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
1103 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
1104 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
1106 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1108 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
1109 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
1112 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
1113 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
1115 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
1117 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1119 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
1120 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
1123 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
1124 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
1125 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
1126 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
1129 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
1130 group names to uid's before storing them in the
1131 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
1133 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1135 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
1136 option=argument style options, and add support for
1137 creating filesystems with external journals.
1139 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
1141 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1143 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
1144 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
1146 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1148 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
1149 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
1152 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
1155 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
1156 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
1159 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
1160 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
1163 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1165 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
1168 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
1170 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
1171 systems with four IDE interfaces.
1173 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
1175 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1178 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1179 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1181 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1183 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1184 we can't find the device using the name given by
1185 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1186 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1188 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1190 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1191 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1192 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1194 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1196 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1198 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1200 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1201 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1203 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1205 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1206 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1208 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1210 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1212 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1214 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1215 are mutually exclusive.
1217 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1218 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1219 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1222 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1223 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1224 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1225 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1226 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1227 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1228 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1229 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1232 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1233 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1234 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1235 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1238 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1240 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1241 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1242 the progress bar display logic.
1244 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1245 max_mount_count is negative.
1247 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1248 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1251 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1252 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1253 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1254 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1255 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1256 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1258 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1259 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1260 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1262 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1263 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1264 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1267 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1268 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1269 device as a default.
1271 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1273 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1274 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1275 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1276 old, overly complicated logic.
1277 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1278 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1279 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1281 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1283 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1284 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1285 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1286 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1288 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1290 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1291 or LABEL= specification is given.
1293 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1294 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1295 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1296 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1297 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1298 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1300 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1301 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1302 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1303 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1304 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1306 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1308 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1309 support fdatasync().
1311 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1313 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1314 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1315 manually define optarg and optind.
1317 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1320 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1321 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1322 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1323 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1325 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1326 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1328 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1330 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1333 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1335 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1337 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1339 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1340 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1342 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1343 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1344 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1345 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1348 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1349 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1350 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1352 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1354 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1355 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1356 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1357 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1358 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1360 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1361 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1362 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1363 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1364 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1365 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1367 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1369 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1371 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1372 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1373 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1374 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1375 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1377 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1378 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1380 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1382 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1384 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1385 document the -s option.
1387 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1389 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1390 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1391 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1392 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1394 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1395 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1396 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1397 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1398 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1399 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1400 Finally, the original data is written back.
1402 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1403 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1404 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1405 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1406 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1407 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1408 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1409 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1410 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1411 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1412 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1413 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1414 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1415 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1416 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1418 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1419 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1420 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1423 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1424 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1426 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1427 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1428 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1429 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1430 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1431 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1433 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1434 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1435 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1436 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1437 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1438 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1439 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1440 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1443 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1444 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1445 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1446 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1447 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1448 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1449 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1450 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1451 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1452 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1453 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1454 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1455 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1456 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1457 completely reliable.
1459 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1460 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1461 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1462 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1463 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1464 for your information.
1466 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1467 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1468 which I install which will write back whatever original
1469 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1470 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1472 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1473 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1474 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1475 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1476 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1477 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1478 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1479 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1480 should be in the distribution."
1482 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1484 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1485 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1486 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1488 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1490 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1491 option is properly named.
1493 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1495 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1496 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1497 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1499 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1501 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1502 the source directory.
1504 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1506 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1508 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1510 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1511 filesystem option is properly named.
1513 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1515 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1516 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1517 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1519 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1521 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1523 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1525 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1526 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1527 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1529 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1530 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1531 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1532 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1534 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1535 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1536 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1539 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1540 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1541 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1542 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1545 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1546 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1548 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1550 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1552 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1553 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1554 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1556 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1557 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1560 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1562 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1564 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1566 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1567 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1568 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1569 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1571 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1572 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1573 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1574 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1576 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1578 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1579 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1580 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1581 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1582 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1584 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1586 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1587 changing the sparse superblock option
1589 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1590 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1591 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1594 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1596 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1597 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1599 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1601 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1604 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1607 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1608 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1611 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1614 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1616 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1619 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1621 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1623 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1625 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1626 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1627 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1628 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1629 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1630 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1631 the filesystem the system would make.
1633 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1635 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1636 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1637 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1638 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1639 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1641 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1643 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1644 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1645 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1647 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1649 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1650 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1652 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1654 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1655 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1656 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1657 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1658 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1659 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1661 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1662 UUID=bar type specifications.
1664 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1666 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1667 clear out a large block number.
1669 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1671 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1672 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1674 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1676 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1677 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1679 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1681 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1684 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1686 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1687 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1688 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1689 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1691 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1693 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1696 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1698 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer

1708 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1710 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1711 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1712 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1713 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1714 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1715 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1717 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1719 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they

1722 fsck pass structure.
1723 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1724 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1727 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1739 needs to be treated as zero.
1741 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1743 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify

1747 program if the -V option is given.
1749 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1750 through a directory.
1752 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1758 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1760 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1762 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for

1769 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1771 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1772 seperated", instead of common separated)
1774 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1776 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1778 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1780 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1781 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1782 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1784 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1786 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.

1833 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1834 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1835 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1836 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.

1847 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
1849 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
1852 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1853 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1856 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1857 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1858 that the label will be truncated.
1860 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1861 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1862 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

1955 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1958 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1959 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1961 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1963 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
1964 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13

2089 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
2092 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
2093 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if

2129 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2131 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
2132 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
2133 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
2134 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
2135 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
2136 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
2137 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
2138 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
2141 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2151 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2153 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
2154 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
2155 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
2156 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
2157 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
2159 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2176 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
2177 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
2179 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2181 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
2184 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2186 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
2187 function to determine if the device is mounted.
2189 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
2190 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
2191 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
2192 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
2194 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2196 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
2197 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
2198 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
2201 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>

2221 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2223 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2224 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
2225 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
2227 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2229 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2230 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2231 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2232 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2235 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2236 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
2237 alloca is not portable!
2239 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
2240 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2243 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
2245 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
2247 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
2250 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
2252 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2253 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
2255 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2257 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2258 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
2260 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2262 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2264 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2265 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2267 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2269 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2271 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
2272 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
2273 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
2274 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2276 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
2277 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2278 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2279 statically sized buffer.
2280 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2281 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2283 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2284 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2285 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2286 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2287 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2289 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2290 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2291 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2292 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2295 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2296 support separate compilation directories.
2298 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2300 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2301 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2302 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2303 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2305 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2306 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2307 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2308 very large partition.
2310 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2311 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2312 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2314 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2315 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2316 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2317 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2318 ioctl, which most do.)
2320 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2321 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2322 during 0.5b development.)
2324 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2326 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2327 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2328 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2329 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2332 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2333 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2334 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2336 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2338 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2340 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2341 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2342 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2344 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2346 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2348 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2350 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2352 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2353 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2354 all partitions should be checked.
2356 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2358 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2361 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2364 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2366 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2367 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2369 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2371 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2373 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2375 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2378 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2380 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2382 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2384 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2386 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2388 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2390 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2391 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2392 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2393 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2394 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2396 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2397 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2398 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2399 statistics if necessary.
