1 2004-02-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
3 * fsck.c (execute): Use '&&' instead of '&'. (It didn't cause a
4 problem because we got lucky, but let's do things right.
5 Fix from Thomas Woerner at Red Hat.)
7 2004-02-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
9 * filefrag.c: Use #ifdef __linux__ instead of __LINUX__ so that it
10 actually compiles on Linux. (Addresses Debian bug
13 2004-01-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
15 * chattr.1.in: Clarify man page.
17 * chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mklost+found.8.in,
18 tune2fs.8.in: List Theodore Ts'o <tytso@alum.mit.edu> as
19 the current maintainer.
21 2004-01-20 root <tytso@mit.edu>
23 * chattr.c (main): Add support for '--' to stop options
24 processing. (Addresses Debian bug #225188).
26 2003-12-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
28 * chattr.1.in: Update text indicating the 'c', 's', and 'u'
29 attributes are not currently supported to remove any
30 mention of a specific kernel version. (Addresses Debian
33 * fsck.8.in: Update text describing "standard" options supported
34 by filesystem-specific checkers. (Addresses Debian bug
37 2003-12-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
39 * Makefile.in: Add filefrag program to the list of programs
40 installed in /usr/sbin.
42 2003-12-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@thunk.org>

50 * badblocks.c, blkid.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, fsck.c,
51 fsck.h, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, nls-enable.h, tune2fs.c,
52 util.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks.
54 2003-09-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
56 * tune2fs.c (parse_e2label_options, parse_tune2fs_options,
57 do_findfs): Check the returned name from blkid_get_devname and
58 print an error if the requested LABEL/UUID does not exist.
60 2003-09-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
62 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Use ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc to
63 determine the locations of the superblock and block group
66 2003-11-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
68 * util.c (check_plausibility): Support 2.6 kernel header files,
69 instead of having the build to crash. (Addresses Debian
72 2003-09-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
74 * mke2fs.c (progress_init, progress_update): If the environment
75 variable MKE2FS_SKIP_PROGRESS is set, then don't print out
76 a progress bar; for regression test support.
77 (PRS): If the environment variable MKE2FS_DEVICE_SECTSIZE
78 is set, then override the device sector size. Again for
79 regression test support.
80 (main): If the environment variable MKE2FS_SKIP_CHECK_MSG
81 is set, then skip printing an information messages about
82 when the filesystem will be checked, since this number is
83 random and screws up the regression test expect script.
85 2003-08-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
87 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): Fix bug which caused -T largefile or
88 -T largefile4 to core dump due to a division by zero
89 error. (Addressed Debian bug #207082)
91 2003-08-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
93 * dumpe2fs.8.in, e2image.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
94 tune2fs.8.in: Adjust description line so that apropos
95 "ext2" or "ext3" will find the man page. (Addresses
98 2003-08-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
100 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Add check to make sure the file
101 offset of the device is page aligned. (Addresses Debian
104 * badblocks.c (test_ro, test_rw): Add code to recover after an
105 error so that we continue reading on page-aligned
106 boundaries. (Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for
109 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
111 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.34
113 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
115 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add warning if using -j and the blocksize is
116 greater than 4096, since some kernels don't support ext3
117 with large block sizes. (Addresses Debian bug #193773)
119 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Remove debugging printf. (Addresses
122 2003-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
124 * fsck.c (wait_many): Rename wait_all() to wait_many(), and have
125 new semantics: WAIT_ALL vs. WAIT_ATLEAST_ONE. This fixes
126 a bug where when fsck is waiting for another partition on
127 the same spindle, it spins wasting a lot of CPU.
129 2003-07-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
131 * badblocks.c (do_read, do_write, test_rw): Change the read/write
132 test to honor the -c option (number of blocks at a time).
133 do_read and do_write will try to turn on the O_DIRECT flag
134 if it appears that it is possible to use it. (Addresses
137 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): If sector_size is 0, don't use it to
138 set the blocksize to zero. This causes MD devices to fail
139 since they don't support the BLKSSZGET ioctl. (Addresses
142 2003-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
144 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main): If CONFIG_TESTIO_DEBUG, then use the
147 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Round down the default filesystem size so that
148 it is an even multiple of the page size, to work around
149 buffer cache kernel bug.
151 * badblocks.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (signed/unsigned type issues)
153 * blkid.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (missing #include <string.h>)
155 2003-05-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
157 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): If the sector size of the
158 device is larger than the default block size, then use the
159 sector size of the device as the default block size.
161 2003-05-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
163 * badblocks.c: Use an unsigned integer to support 4-byte test
164 patterns with the high bit set. Let the user explicitly
165 specify a random pattern with the argument "random".
167 2003-05-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
169 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Fix minor memory leak with test_rw() is
170 called for multiple passes.
171 (test_nd): Fix bug in chosing randomness for the
172 non-destructive test. We were only using 1 bit of
173 randomness per byte instead of 8 due to a bit-shift bug.
174 Also, initialize the random number generator from the time
175 in main(). Thanks to Thayne Harbaugh for pointing out
178 * badblocks.c, badblocks.8.in: Functional enhancements contributed
179 by Thayne Harbaugh. These patches allow the -t option to
180 control the test pattern(s) used when checking the disk.
181 Test patterns may be specified in all modes (r/w, r/o and
184 2003-05-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
186 * tune2fs.c (main, add_journal_device, remove_journal_device): If
187 --enable-testio-debug is set, then use the test_io manager
188 so we can watch what tune2fs is doing.
190 2003-05-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
192 * uuidgen.c (main): Add setup functions for NLS support.
194 * e2image.c (write_header), mke2fs.c (PRS): Add missing space in
197 * badblocks.c (usage), findsuper.c (main), util.c
198 (parse_journal_opts): Fix typo in usage string.
200 * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Add portability code to work around lack
203 * Makefile.in: Add $(LIBINTL) to the link line so we can support
204 using the internal gettext library.
206 * nls-enable.h: Add #ifndef protection around LOCALEDIR definition.
208 2003-04-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
210 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.33
212 2003-04-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
214 * Makefile.in (uuidgen): Avoid linking lsattr and chattr against
215 libext2fs, and avoid linking blkid against any of the ext2
218 2003-04-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
220 * Makefile.in (fsck): Fsck does not need to linked against the
221 ext2 libraries anymore.
223 2003-04-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
225 * fsck.c (main): Put stdout and stderr into non-buffered mode to
226 avoid cosmetic problems when running fsck under logsave.
228 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Avoid printing the version banner for mke2fs if
229 the -q option is specified. (Addresses Debian bug #172716)
231 * logsave.c: Add support for the -a option (only partially
232 implemented previously). Always log the command-line and
233 start and stop time to the log file. Add support for the
234 -s option, which skips text bracketed between control-A
235 and control-B characters.
237 2003-04-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
239 * logsave.c: New program which saves the output of a command in a
240 log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been
241 mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in
242 memory until it can write out the logfile).
244 2003-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
246 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the argument to -b is negative, treat it as a
247 minimum blocksize. (Feature requested by EVMS developers
248 for mainframe DASD's that do not support 1k blocksizes.)
250 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the -g option. (Addresses Debian bug #188318)
252 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug where mke2fs was incorrectly checking
253 the argument to the -g option, if the default block size
254 is used. (Addresses Debian bug #188319)
256 * tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Document the dir_index filesystem
257 feature which can be used with the -O option.
259 2003-04-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
261 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, interpret_type, fsck_device, ignore,
262 main): Don't evaluate the filesystem type when loading the
263 fstab file, since that might cause fsck to hang trying to
264 read from a floppy disk. (Addresses Debian bug #187812)
265 Add tmpfs and devpts to filesystems that should be
266 ignored, and add jfs, reseirfs, and xfs as filesystems
267 types where we should complain if we can't find the fsck
268 program for that filesystem type.
270 2003-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
272 * badblocks.c (bb_output): Flush output to the badblocks
273 output file as bad blocks are discovered.
275 2003-03-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
277 * chattr.1.in: Clarified the description of the 't' (no tail)
278 attribute. (Addresses Debian bug #185945)
280 2003-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
282 * fsck.c: And #ifdef protection around #include of malloc.h
284 2003-03-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
286 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Include blocks from slow
287 symbolic links in the raw image file.
289 2003-03-06 <tytso@mit.edu>
291 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, parse_e2label_options): Allow
292 the device name to be specified using LABEL=xxx or
293 UUID=xxx, since we're including the blkid library anyway.
294 (Addresses Debian bugs #166048, #179671)
296 * tune2fs.8.in, chattr.1.in: Minor man page fixes (Addresses
297 Debian bugs #175233, #175113, and #170497)
299 2003-03-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
301 * Makefile.in (DEPLIBS_BLKID): Use DEPLIBUUID, not LIBUUID to
302 avoid depending on -lsocket on Solaris.
304 2003-03-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
306 * fsck.c, util.c, tune2fs.c, Makefile.in: Use the blkid library
307 instead of the specialized functions in
308 get-device-by-label.c and fstype.c.
310 * base_device.c (base_device): Take a const char* as an argument.
312 * blkid.c: Remove deprecated -d option,
314 2003-02-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

336 backslash escaping in /etc/fstab. (i.e., so that \040
339 2002-11-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
341 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default;
342 the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not
343 the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards
344 compatibility support for dir_indexing removed.
346 2002-11-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
348 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.32
350 2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

362 2002-11-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
364 * chattr.c, chattr.1.in: Add support for a new inode flag, which
365 is to be used for indicating the top of directory
366 hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator.
368 2002-10-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
370 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Pay attention to
371 partitions returned in /proc/partitions that begin with
372 with the string "lvm".

384 erreoneously (and needlessly).
386 2002-10-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
388 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
389 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
390 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
391 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
394 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
396 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
397 if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
398 will still print out the contents of the block group
401 2002-10-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
403 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), mke2fs.c (PRS), e2image.c

409 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (update_mntopts, main): Add new option
410 'o' which allows the system administrator to specify
411 default mount options.
413 2002-10-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
415 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Use a 16k buffer to
416 read in /proc/partitions in one go.
418 * badblocks.c, fsck.c, fstype.c, get_device_by_label.c,
419 tune2fs.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
421 2002-10-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

428 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Handle a bad block in the
429 inode table correctly.
431 2002-09-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
433 * get_device_by_label.c: Applied sourceforge patch #613447, which
434 adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
437 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
438 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows
439 badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
440 CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.
442 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
444 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
445 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
446 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
447 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
449 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
451 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
453 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
455 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
456 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
457 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
458 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
459 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
461 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
463 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
465 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to

479 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
481 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
483 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
484 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
485 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
487 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
488 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
489 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
490 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
493 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
496 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
497 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)

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

508 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
511 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
512 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
515 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
517 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
518 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
520 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
522 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
524 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
525 child fsck processes.
527 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
529 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
530 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
531 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
533 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
535 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
536 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
537 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
539 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
541 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)

550 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
552 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
554 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
555 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
557 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
559 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
560 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
561 is larger than the system's page size according to the
562 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
563 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
564 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
567 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

578 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
580 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
582 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
583 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
585 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
587 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
588 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
590 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
592 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
593 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
594 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
595 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
596 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
598 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
600 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
603 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
605 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
606 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
607 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
608 installing the man pages.
610 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
612 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
614 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
616 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
617 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
620 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
623 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
625 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26
627 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
629 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
632 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
633 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
634 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
636 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
638 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
639 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
640 envrionment variable.
642 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
644 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
646 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
648 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
650 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
651 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
654 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
656 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
657 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
658 the last checked time on the filesystem.
660 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
662 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
663 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
666 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
667 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
668 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
670 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
671 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
673 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
674 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
675 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
676 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
677 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
679 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
681 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
682 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
683 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
684 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
685 include search path.)
687 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
689 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
690 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
691 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
694 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
696 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
697 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
698 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
700 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
702 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
703 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
704 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
705 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
706 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
708 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
709 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
711 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
714 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
716 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
717 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
718 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
720 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
722 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
725 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
727 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
728 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
730 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
732 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
735 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
737 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
738 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
739 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
740 into a real device name.
742 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
744 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
745 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
746 calls are a good thing. <g>
748 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
750 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
752 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
754 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
756 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
758 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
760 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
763 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
764 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
766 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
768 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
771 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
773 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
775 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
777 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.

781 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
783 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
785 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
787 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
788 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
789 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
791 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
793 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
794 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
795 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
796 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
797 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
798 small device (less than 64 blocks).
800 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
802 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
805 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
806 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
807 display, since it only confuses people.
809 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
811 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
814 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
815 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
816 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
818 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
820 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
821 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
822 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
823 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
825 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
826 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
827 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
828 in the ext2 superblock.
830 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
831 malloc'd in interpret spec.
833 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
835 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
837 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
839 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
840 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
843 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
845 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
846 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
847 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
848 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
850 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
851 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
852 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
854 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
855 specified more than once.
857 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
859 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
860 text that erroneously implied that all features
861 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
864 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
866 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
867 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
868 should not be present.
870 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
872 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
874 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
875 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
877 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
879 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
880 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
881 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
882 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
884 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
886 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
887 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
889 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
891 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
892 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
893 blocksize of the new filesystem.
895 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
897 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
898 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
901 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
903 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
904 of the filesystem to determines its type.
906 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
907 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
909 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
911 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
913 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

922 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
924 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
925 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
926 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
927 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
928 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
930 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
931 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
934 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
935 specified to configure.
937 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
939 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
940 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
942 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
943 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
946 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
947 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
948 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
950 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
952 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
953 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
954 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
956 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
958 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
959 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.

969 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
971 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
972 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
973 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
975 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
976 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
978 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
980 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
981 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
982 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
983 for description of new -t semantics.
985 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
986 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
987 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
989 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
990 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
993 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
995 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
996 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
997 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h

1002 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1004 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
1005 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
1007 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1009 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
1011 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
1012 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
1014 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1016 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
1017 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
1018 value depending on if superblock features are set.
1020 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1022 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
1024 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
1025 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
1026 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.

1038 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
1040 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
1041 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
1042 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
1044 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
1045 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
1047 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1049 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
1051 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
1052 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
1053 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
1055 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
1056 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
1059 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
1062 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1064 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
1065 the base device, we should assume that the device is
1066 already active in order to force serialization.
1068 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1070 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
1071 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
1072 more sense to users.
1074 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1076 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
1077 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
1078 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
1079 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
1080 from journal device.
1081 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
1082 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
1083 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
1085 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1087 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
1088 documentation for the extern journal device support.
1090 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
1093 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1095 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
1096 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
1098 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
1099 number to be treated as a journal size.
1101 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
1104 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
1105 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
1106 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
1107 entire device to get zero'ed.
1109 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1111 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
1112 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
1115 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
1117 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
1118 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
1119 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
1120 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
1121 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
1122 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
1123 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
1124 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
1125 using the absolute size of the journal.
1127 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1129 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
1130 Also handle the case where the default journal size
1131 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
1132 the filesystem will be checked.
1134 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1136 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
1138 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1140 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
1143 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
1144 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
1147 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
1148 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
1150 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1152 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
1153 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
1154 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
1155 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
1156 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
1157 with the rest of the options out there.)
1159 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
1160 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
1161 from the external journal's filesystem list.
1163 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
1164 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
1165 given a filesystem size.
1167 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
1170 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
1171 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
1173 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1175 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
1176 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
1177 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
1179 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
1180 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
1181 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
1182 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
1183 have been created via separate step.
1185 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
1186 information about an external journal device.
1188 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1190 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
1191 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
1192 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
1193 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
1194 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
1195 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
1196 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
1197 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
1199 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
1201 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
1202 stdout after printing in-progress message.
1203 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
1204 the mount status of the device.
1206 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1208 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
1209 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
1210 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
1211 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
1212 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
1214 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
1217 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
1219 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1221 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
1222 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
1223 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
1225 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1227 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
1230 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
1231 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
1234 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
1236 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
1237 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
1239 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1241 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
1242 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
1243 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
1244 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
1246 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
1247 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
1248 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
1250 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
1251 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
1253 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1255 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
1256 struct ext2_super_block.
1258 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
1259 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
1260 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
1261 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
1262 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
1263 using our own version now).
1265 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1267 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
1268 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
1269 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
1270 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
1271 the parallel_root option.
1273 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
1274 the file attributes.
1276 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
1277 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
1279 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
1280 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
1281 support for the journaled data flag.
1283 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
1285 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1287 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
1289 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
1290 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
1292 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1294 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
1297 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
1298 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
1299 instead of core dumping.
1301 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1303 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
1304 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
1305 journal creation routines for this purpose.
1307 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
1308 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
1310 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
1311 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
1313 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1315 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
1316 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
1319 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
1320 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
1322 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
1324 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1326 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
1327 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
1330 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
1331 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
1332 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
1333 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
1336 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
1337 group names to uid's before storing them in the
1338 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
1340 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1342 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
1343 option=argument style options, and add support for
1344 creating filesystems with external journals.
1346 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
1348 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1350 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
1351 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
1353 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1355 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
1356 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
1359 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
1362 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
1363 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
1366 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
1367 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
1370 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1372 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
1375 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
1377 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
1378 systems with four IDE interfaces.
1380 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
1382 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1385 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1386 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1388 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1390 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1391 we can't find the device using the name given by
1392 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1393 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1395 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1397 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1398 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1399 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1401 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1403 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1405 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1407 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1408 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1410 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1412 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1413 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1415 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1417 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1419 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1421 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1422 are mutually exclusive.
1424 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1425 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1426 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1429 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1430 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1431 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1432 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1433 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1434 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1435 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1436 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1439 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1440 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1441 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1442 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1445 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1447 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1448 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1449 the progress bar display logic.
1451 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1452 max_mount_count is negative.
1454 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1455 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1458 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1459 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1460 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1461 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1462 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1463 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1465 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1466 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1467 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1469 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1470 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1471 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1474 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1475 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1476 device as a default.
1478 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1480 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1481 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1482 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1483 old, overly complicated logic.
1484 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1485 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1486 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1488 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1490 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1491 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1492 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1493 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1495 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1497 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1498 or LABEL= specification is given.
1500 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1501 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1502 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1503 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1504 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1505 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1507 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1508 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1509 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1510 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1511 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1513 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1515 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1516 support fdatasync().
1518 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1520 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1521 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1522 manually define optarg and optind.
1524 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1527 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1528 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1529 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1530 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1532 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1533 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1535 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1537 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1540 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1542 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1544 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1546 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1547 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1549 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1550 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1551 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1552 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1555 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1556 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1557 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1559 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1561 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1562 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1563 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1564 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1565 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1567 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1568 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1569 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1570 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1571 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1572 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1574 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1576 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1578 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1579 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1580 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1581 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1582 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1584 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1585 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1587 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1589 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1591 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1592 document the -s option.
1594 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1596 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1597 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1598 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1599 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1601 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1602 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1603 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1604 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1605 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1606 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1607 Finally, the original data is written back.
1609 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1610 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1611 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1612 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1613 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1614 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1615 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1616 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1617 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1618 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1619 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1620 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1621 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1622 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1623 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1625 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1626 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1627 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1630 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1631 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1633 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1634 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1635 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1636 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1637 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1638 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1640 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1641 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1642 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1643 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1644 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1645 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1646 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1647 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1650 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1651 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1652 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1653 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1654 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1655 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1656 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1657 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1658 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1659 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1660 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1661 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1662 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1663 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1664 completely reliable.
1666 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1667 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1668 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1669 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1670 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1671 for your information.
1673 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1674 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1675 which I install which will write back whatever original
1676 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1677 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1679 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1680 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1681 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1682 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1683 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1684 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1685 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1686 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1687 should be in the distribution."
1689 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1691 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1692 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1693 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1695 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1697 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1698 option is properly named.
1700 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1702 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1703 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1704 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1706 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1708 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1709 the source directory.
1711 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1713 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1715 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1717 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1718 filesystem option is properly named.
1720 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1722 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1723 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1724 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1726 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1728 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1730 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1732 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1733 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1734 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1736 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1737 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1738 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1739 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1741 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1742 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1743 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1746 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1747 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1748 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1749 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1752 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1753 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1755 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1757 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1759 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1760 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1761 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1763 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1764 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1767 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1769 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1771 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1773 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1774 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1775 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1776 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1778 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1779 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1780 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1781 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1783 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1785 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1786 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1787 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1788 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1789 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1791 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1793 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1794 changing the sparse superblock option
1796 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1797 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1798 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1801 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1803 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1804 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1806 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1808 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1811 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1814 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1815 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1818 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1821 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1823 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1826 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1828 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1830 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1832 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1833 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1834 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1835 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1836 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1837 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1838 the filesystem the system would make.
1840 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1842 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1843 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1844 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1845 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1846 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1848 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1850 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1851 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1852 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1854 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1856 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1857 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1859 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1861 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1862 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1863 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1864 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1865 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1866 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1868 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1869 UUID=bar type specifications.
1871 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1873 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1874 clear out a large block number.
1876 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1878 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1879 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1881 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1883 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1884 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1886 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1888 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1891 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1893 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1894 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1895 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1896 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1898 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1900 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1903 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1905 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1906 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1908 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1910 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1911 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1912 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1913 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1915 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1917 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1918 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1919 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1920 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1921 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1922 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1924 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1926 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1927 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1928 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1929 fsck pass structure.
1930 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1931 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1934 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1936 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
1938 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1943 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1945 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1946 needs to be treated as zero.
1948 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1950 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1951 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1953 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1954 program if the -V option is given.
1956 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1957 through a directory.
1959 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1961 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1962 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1964 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1965 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1967 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1969 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1970 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1972 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1974 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
1976 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1978 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1979 seperated", instead of common separated)
1981 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1983 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1985 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1987 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1988 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1989 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1991 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1993 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1995 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1996 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1997 things look nice on an 80 character display.
1999 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2001 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage

2015 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
2017 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
2018 * tune2fs.c (usage):
2020 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
2021 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
2023 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
2024 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
2027 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2029 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number

2037 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2039 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
2040 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
2041 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
2042 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
2043 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
2045 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2047 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.

2054 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
2056 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
2059 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
2060 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
2063 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
2064 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
2065 that the label will be truncated.
2067 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
2068 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
2069 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
2071 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2073 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning

2102 * badblocks.c (main):
2103 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
2104 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
2105 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
2108 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2110 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
2111 to fix a -Wall warning.

2116 * mklost+found.c (main):
2118 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
2120 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
2121 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some

2125 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2127 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which
2128 provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem
2131 * Makefile.in (SPROGS): Add Makefile support to build e2label
2133 Tue Jun 17 01:33:20 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2137 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2139 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
2140 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
2141 80 columns when making a really big disk.
2143 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2145 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,

2147 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
2149 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
2150 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
2151 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
2153 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>

2157 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
2159 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
2160 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
2161 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
2162 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
2165 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
2166 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
2168 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
2170 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not

2181 specified everywhere.
2183 * chattr.c (usage): Added usage message for the 'A' attribute.
2185 Fri Apr 11 18:56:26 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2187 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.08
2189 Thu Apr 10 07:08:03 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2191 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): List the offsets of the inode and block

2202 sparse superblock flag is set.
2203 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
2204 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
2207 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2209 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
2211 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2213 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and
2214 i_gid to be the real user and group id.
2216 Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2218 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error
2219 messages when the device doesn't exist.
2221 Sat Mar 1 10:43:32 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2223 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug where the PATH environment variable isn't
2224 set when it is unset.

2228 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
2229 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
2230 This caused the inode table to not be correctly

2235 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
2237 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
2239 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2241 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that
2242 they frequently update the block number field.
2244 * badblocks.8.in: Document the optional start-block parameter
2246 Mon Oct 14 11:52:58 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2248 * mke2fs.c: Updated to use new ext2fs_allocate_tables() function.
2250 Tue Oct 8 02:02:03 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2252 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.06
2254 Mon Oct 7 00:56:24 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2258 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Change EXT2_SWAP to EXT2_FLAG_SWAP for
2261 Sun Sep 22 16:18:47 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2263 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Add support for the 'A' (noatime) flag.

2267 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.05
2269 Sat Sep 7 07:34:11 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2271 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support for new option -C, which sets the
2272 current number of mounts.
2273 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
2274 mostly for debugging.
2276 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2278 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.
2279 (SPROGS): Use @FSCK_PROG@ instead of fsck.
2281 Thu Aug 22 00:51:44 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2283 * mke2fs.c (zap_bootblock): Don't do zap_bootblock on a
2286 Tue Aug 20 00:15:46 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2288 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
2289 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
2291 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2294 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
2295 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
2296 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
2299 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
2300 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
2301 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
2302 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
2305 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
2307 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
2308 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
2309 and no version number is specified.
2311 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2313 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
2315 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2317 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
2320 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2322 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
2324 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2326 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
2327 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
2329 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2331 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
2333 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
2336 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2338 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
2339 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
2340 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
2341 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
2342 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
2343 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
2344 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
2345 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
2348 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2350 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
2352 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2354 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
2355 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
2358 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2360 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
2361 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
2362 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
2363 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
2364 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
2366 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2368 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
2371 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2373 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
2374 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
2376 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2378 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
2380 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2382 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
2383 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
2384 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
2386 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2388 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
2391 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2393 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
2394 function to determine if the device is mounted.
2396 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
2397 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
2398 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
2399 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
2401 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2403 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
2404 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
2405 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
2408 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2417 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
2419 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2421 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
2422 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
2423 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
2426 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
2428 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2430 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2431 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
2432 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
2434 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2436 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2437 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2438 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2439 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2442 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2443 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
2444 alloca is not portable!
2446 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
2447 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2450 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
2452 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
2454 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
2457 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
2459 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2460 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
2462 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2464 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2465 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
2467 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2469 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2471 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2472 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2474 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2476 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2478 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
2479 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
2480 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
2481 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2483 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
2484 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2485 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2486 statically sized buffer.
2487 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2488 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2490 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2491 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2492 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2493 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2494 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2496 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2497 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2498 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2499 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2502 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2503 support separate compilation directories.
2505 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2507 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2508 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2509 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2510 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2512 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2513 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2514 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2515 very large partition.
2517 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2518 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2519 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2521 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2522 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2523 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2524 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2525 ioctl, which most do.)
2527 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2528 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2529 during 0.5b development.)
2531 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2533 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2534 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2535 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2536 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2539 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2540 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2541 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2543 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2545 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2547 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2548 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2549 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2551 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2553 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2555 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2557 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2559 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2560 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2561 all partitions should be checked.
2563 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2565 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2568 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2571 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2573 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2574 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2576 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2578 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2580 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2582 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2585 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2587 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2589 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2591 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2593 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2595 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2597 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2598 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2599 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2600 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2601 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2603 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2604 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2605 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2606 statistics if necessary.
