1 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
3 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
6 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
8 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
9 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
11 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
13 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
16 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
18 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
19 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
20 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
21 into a real device name.
23 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
25 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
26 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
27 calls are a good thing. <g>
29 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
31 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
33 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
35 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
37 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
39 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
41 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
44 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
45 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
47 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
49 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
52 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
54 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
56 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
58 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.
60 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
62 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
64 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
66 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
68 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
69 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
70 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
72 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
74 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
75 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
76 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
77 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
78 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
79 small device (less than 64 blocks).
81 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
83 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
86 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
87 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
88 display, since it only confuses people.
90 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
92 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
95 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
96 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
97 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
99 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
101 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
102 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
103 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
104 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
106 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
107 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
108 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
109 in the ext2 superblock.
111 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
112 malloc'd in interpret spec.
114 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
116 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
118 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
120 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
121 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
124 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
126 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
127 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
128 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
129 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
131 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
132 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
133 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
135 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
136 specified more than once.
138 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
140 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
141 text that erroneously implied that all features
142 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
145 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
147 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
148 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
149 should not be present.
151 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
153 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
155 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
156 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
158 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
160 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
161 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
162 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
163 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
165 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
167 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
168 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
170 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
172 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
173 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
174 blocksize of the new filesystem.
176 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
178 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
179 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
182 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
184 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
185 of the filesystem to determines its type.
187 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
188 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
190 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
192 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
194 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
196 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.21
198 2001-06-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
200 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
203 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
205 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
206 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
207 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
208 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
209 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
211 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
212 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
215 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
216 specified to configure.
218 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
220 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
221 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
223 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
224 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
227 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
228 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
229 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
231 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
233 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
234 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
235 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
237 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
239 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
240 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.
242 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
244 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
246 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
248 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
250 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
252 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
253 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
254 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
256 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
257 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
259 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
261 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
262 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
263 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
264 for description of new -t semantics.
266 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
267 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
268 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
270 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
271 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
274 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
276 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
277 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
278 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
280 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
283 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
285 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
286 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
288 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
290 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
292 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
293 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
295 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
297 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
298 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
299 value depending on if superblock features are set.
301 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
303 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
305 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
306 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
307 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
309 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
312 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
314 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
316 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
318 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
319 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
321 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
322 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
323 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
325 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
326 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
328 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
330 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
332 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
333 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
334 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
336 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
337 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
340 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
343 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
345 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
346 the base device, we should assume that the device is
347 already active in order to force serialization.
349 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
351 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
352 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
355 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
357 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
358 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
359 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
360 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
362 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
363 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
364 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
366 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
368 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
369 documentation for the extern journal device support.
371 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
374 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
376 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
377 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
379 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
380 number to be treated as a journal size.
382 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
385 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
386 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
387 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
388 entire device to get zero'ed.
390 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
392 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
393 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
396 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
398 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
399 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
400 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
401 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
402 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
403 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
404 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
405 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
406 using the absolute size of the journal.
408 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
410 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
411 Also handle the case where the default journal size
412 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
413 the filesystem will be checked.
415 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
417 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
419 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
421 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
424 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
425 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
428 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
429 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
431 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
433 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
434 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
435 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
436 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
437 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
438 with the rest of the options out there.)
440 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
441 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
442 from the external journal's filesystem list.
444 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
445 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
446 given a filesystem size.
448 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
451 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
452 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
454 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
456 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
457 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
458 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
460 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
461 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
462 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
463 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
464 have been created via separate step.
466 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
467 information about an external journal device.
469 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
471 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
472 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
473 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
474 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
475 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
476 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
477 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
478 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
480 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
482 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
483 stdout after printing in-progress message.
484 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
485 the mount status of the device.
487 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
489 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
490 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
491 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
492 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
493 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
495 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
498 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
500 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
502 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
503 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
504 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
506 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
508 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
511 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
512 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
515 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
517 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
518 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
520 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
522 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
523 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
524 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
525 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
527 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
528 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
529 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
531 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
532 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
534 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
536 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
537 struct ext2_super_block.
539 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
540 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
541 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
542 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
543 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
544 using our own version now).
546 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
548 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
549 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
550 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
551 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
552 the parallel_root option.
554 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
557 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
558 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
560 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
561 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
562 support for the journaled data flag.
564 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
566 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
568 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
570 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
571 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
573 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
575 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
578 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
579 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
580 instead of core dumping.
582 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
584 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
585 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
586 journal creation routines for this purpose.
588 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
589 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
591 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
592 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
594 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
596 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
597 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
600 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
601 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
603 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
605 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
607 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
608 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
611 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
612 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
613 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
614 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
617 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
618 group names to uid's before storing them in the
619 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
621 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
623 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
624 option=argument style options, and add support for
625 creating filesystems with external journals.
627 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
629 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
631 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
632 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
634 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
636 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
637 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
640 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
643 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
644 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
647 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
648 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
651 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
653 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
656 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
658 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
659 systems with four IDE interfaces.
661 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
663 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
666 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
667 the inode table location in non-hex format.
669 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
671 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
672 we can't find the device using the name given by
673 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
674 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
676 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
678 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
679 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
680 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
682 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
684 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
686 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
688 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
689 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
691 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
693 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
694 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
696 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
698 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
700 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
702 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
703 are mutually exclusive.
705 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
706 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
707 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
710 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
711 variable before going into the write verification loop.
712 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
713 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
714 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
715 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
716 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
717 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
720 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
721 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
722 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
723 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
726 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
728 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
729 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
730 the progress bar display logic.
732 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
733 max_mount_count is negative.
735 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
736 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
739 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
740 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
741 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
742 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
743 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
744 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
746 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
747 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
748 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
750 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
751 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
752 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
755 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
756 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
759 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
761 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
762 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
763 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
764 old, overly complicated logic.
765 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
766 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
767 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
769 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
771 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
772 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
773 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
774 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
776 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
778 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
779 or LABEL= specification is given.
781 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
782 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
783 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
784 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
785 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
786 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
788 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
789 proceed_question that was busted due to the
790 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
791 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
792 cleared of the previous question's newline.
794 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
796 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
799 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
801 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
802 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
803 manually define optarg and optind.
805 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
808 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
809 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
810 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
811 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
813 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
814 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
816 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
818 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
821 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
823 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
825 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
827 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
828 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
830 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
831 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
832 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
833 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
836 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
837 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
838 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
840 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
842 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
843 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
844 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
845 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
846 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
848 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
849 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
850 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
851 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
852 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
853 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
855 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
857 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
859 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
860 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
861 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
862 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
863 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
865 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
866 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
868 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
870 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
872 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
873 document the -s option.
875 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
877 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
878 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
879 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
880 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
882 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
883 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
884 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
885 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
886 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
887 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
888 Finally, the original data is written back.
890 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
891 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
892 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
893 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
894 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
895 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
896 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
897 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
898 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
899 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
900 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
901 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
902 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
903 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
904 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
906 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
907 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
908 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
911 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
912 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
914 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
915 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
916 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
917 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
918 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
919 and want the host hard drive to flush.
921 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
922 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
923 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
924 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
925 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
926 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
927 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
928 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
931 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
932 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
933 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
934 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
935 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
936 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
937 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
938 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
939 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
940 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
941 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
942 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
943 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
944 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
947 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
948 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
949 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
950 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
951 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
952 for your information.
954 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
955 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
956 which I install which will write back whatever original
957 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
958 (except SIGKILL, of course).
960 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
961 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
962 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
963 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
964 could learn how to update the manpage and other
965 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
966 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
967 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
968 should be in the distribution."
970 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
972 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
973 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
974 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
976 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
978 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
979 option is properly named.
981 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
983 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
984 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
985 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
987 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
989 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
990 the source directory.
992 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
994 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
996 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
998 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
999 filesystem option is properly named.
1001 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1003 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1004 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1005 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1007 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1009 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1011 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1013 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1014 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1015 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1017 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1018 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1019 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1020 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1022 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1023 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1024 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1027 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1028 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1029 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1030 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1033 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1034 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1036 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1038 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1040 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1041 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1042 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1044 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1045 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1048 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1050 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1052 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1054 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1055 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1056 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1057 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1059 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1060 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1061 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1062 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1064 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1066 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1067 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1068 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1069 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1070 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1072 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1074 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1075 changing the sparse superblock option
1077 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1078 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1079 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1082 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1084 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1085 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1087 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1089 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1092 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1095 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1096 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1099 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1102 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1104 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1107 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1109 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1111 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1113 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1114 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1115 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1116 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1117 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1118 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1119 the filesystem the system would make.
1121 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1123 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1124 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1125 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1126 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1127 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1129 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1131 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1132 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1133 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1135 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1137 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1138 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1140 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1142 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1143 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1144 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1145 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1146 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1147 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1149 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1150 UUID=bar type specifications.
1152 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1154 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to

1157 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1159 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it

1164 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1165 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1167 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1172 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1174 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1175 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1176 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1177 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1179 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1181 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to

1196 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1198 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1199 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1200 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1201 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1202 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1203 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1205 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1207 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1208 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1209 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1210 fsck pass structure.
1211 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1212 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1215 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1235 program if the -V option is given.
1237 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1238 through a directory.
1240 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1257 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1259 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1260 seperated", instead of common separated)
1262 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1264 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1266 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1268 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1269 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1270 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1272 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1274 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.

1335 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
1337 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
1340 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1341 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1344 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1345 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1346 that the label will be truncated.
1348 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1349 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1350 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

1442 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1443 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1446 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1447 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1449 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1451 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
1452 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13

1619 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1620 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1621 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1622 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1623 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1624 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1625 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1626 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1629 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1639 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1641 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1642 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1643 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1644 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1645 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1647 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1667 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1669 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in

1675 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1677 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1678 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1679 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1680 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1682 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1684 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1685 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1686 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1689 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1698 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1700 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1702 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1703 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1704 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1707 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1709 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1711 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1712 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1713 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1715 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1717 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1718 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1719 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1720 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1723 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1724 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1725 alloca is not portable!
1727 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1728 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1731 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1733 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1735 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1738 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1740 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1741 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1743 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1745 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1746 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1748 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1750 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1752 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1753 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1755 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1757 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1759 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1760 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1761 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1762 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1764 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1765 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1766 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1767 statically sized buffer.
1768 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1769 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1771 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1772 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1773 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1774 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1775 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1777 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1778 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1779 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1780 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1783 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1784 support separate compilation directories.
1786 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1788 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1789 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1790 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1791 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1793 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1794 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1795 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1796 very large partition.
1798 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1799 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1800 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1802 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1803 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1804 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1805 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1806 ioctl, which most do.)
1808 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1809 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1810 during 0.5b development.)
1812 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1814 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1815 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1816 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1817 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1820 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1821 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1822 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1824 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1826 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1828 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1829 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1830 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1832 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1834 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1836 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1838 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1840 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1841 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1842 all partitions should be checked.
1844 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1846 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1849 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1852 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1854 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1855 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1857 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1859 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1861 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1863 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1866 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1868 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1870 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1872 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1874 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1876 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1878 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1879 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1880 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1881 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1882 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1884 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1885 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1886 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1887 statistics if necessary.
