29 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
30 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
31 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
33 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
35 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.

53 that the label will be truncated.
55 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
56 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
57 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

83 Fri Oct 24 23:37:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
86 * chattr.c: Remove #include of getopt.h, since it's not needed.
92 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
93 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
96 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
98 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,

104 * mklost+found.c (main):
108 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
109 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
110 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
113 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
115 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which

125 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
127 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
128 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
129 80 columns when making a really big disk.
131 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
133 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
134 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
135 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
137 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
138 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the

145 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
147 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
148 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
149 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
150 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
153 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
154 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
156 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
158 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
159 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13

186 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
188 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
189 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
190 sparse superblock flag is set.
191 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
192 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the

197 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
199 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
201 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and

212 set when it is unset.
214 Tue Jan 14 12:30:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
216 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
217 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
218 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
221 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
223 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().

277 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
279 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
282 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
283 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
284 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
287 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
288 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
289 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
290 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
293 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
295 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
296 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
297 and no version number is specified.
299 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
301 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
303 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
305 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2

310 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
312 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
314 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
315 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
317 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
319 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
321 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
324 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
326 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
327 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
328 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
329 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
330 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
331 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
332 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
333 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
336 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
338 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
340 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
342 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
343 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
346 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
348 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
349 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
350 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
351 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
352 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
354 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
356 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
359 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
361 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
362 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
364 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
366 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
368 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
370 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
371 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
372 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
374 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
376 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
379 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
381 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
382 function to determine if the device is mounted.
384 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
385 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
386 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
387 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
389 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
391 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
392 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
393 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
396 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
405 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
407 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
409 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
410 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
411 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
414 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
416 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
418 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
419 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
420 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
422 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
424 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
425 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
426 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
427 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
430 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
431 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
432 alloca is not portable!
434 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
435 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
438 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
440 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
442 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
445 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
447 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
448 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
450 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
452 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
453 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
455 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
457 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
459 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
460 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
462 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
464 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
466 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
467 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
468 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
469 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
471 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
472 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
473 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
474 statically sized buffer.
475 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
476 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
478 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
479 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
480 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
481 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
482 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
484 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
485 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
486 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
487 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
490 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
491 support separate compilation directories.
493 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
495 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
496 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
497 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
498 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
500 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
501 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
502 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
503 very large partition.
505 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
506 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
507 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
509 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
510 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
511 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
512 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
513 ioctl, which most do.)
515 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
516 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
517 during 0.5b development.)
519 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
521 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
522 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
523 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
524 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
527 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
528 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
529 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
531 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
533 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
535 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
536 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
537 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
539 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
541 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
543 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
545 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
547 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
548 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
549 all partitions should be checked.
551 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
553 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
556 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
559 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
561 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
562 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.

566 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
568 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
570 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
573 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
575 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
577 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
579 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
581 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
583 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
585 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
586 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
587 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
588 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
589 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
591 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
592 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
593 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
594 statistics if necessary.
