1 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
3 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
4 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
5 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
7 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
9 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
12 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
14 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
15 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
17 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
19 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
22 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
24 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
25 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
26 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
27 into a real device name.
29 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
31 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
32 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
33 calls are a good thing. <g>
35 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
37 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
39 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
41 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
43 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
45 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
47 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
50 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
51 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
53 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
55 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
58 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
60 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
62 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
64 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.
66 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
68 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
70 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
72 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
74 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
75 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
76 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
78 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
80 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
81 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
82 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
83 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
84 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
85 small device (less than 64 blocks).
87 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
89 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
92 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
93 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
94 display, since it only confuses people.
96 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
98 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
101 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
102 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
103 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
105 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
107 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
108 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
109 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
110 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
112 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
113 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
114 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
115 in the ext2 superblock.
117 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
118 malloc'd in interpret spec.
120 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
122 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
124 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
126 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
127 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
130 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
132 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
133 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
134 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
135 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
137 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
138 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
139 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
141 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
142 specified more than once.
144 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
146 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
147 text that erroneously implied that all features
148 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
151 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
153 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
154 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
155 should not be present.
157 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
159 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
161 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
162 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
164 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
166 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
167 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
168 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
169 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
171 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
173 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
174 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
176 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
178 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
179 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
180 blocksize of the new filesystem.
182 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
184 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
185 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
188 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
190 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
191 of the filesystem to determines its type.
193 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
194 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
196 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
198 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
200 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

204 2001-06-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
206 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
209 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
211 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
212 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
213 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
214 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
215 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
217 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
218 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
221 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
222 specified to configure.
224 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
226 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
227 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
229 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
230 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
233 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
234 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
235 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
237 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
239 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
240 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
241 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
243 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
245 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
246 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.
248 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
250 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
252 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
254 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
256 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
258 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
259 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
260 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
262 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
263 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
265 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
267 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
268 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
269 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
270 for description of new -t semantics.
272 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
273 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
274 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
276 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
277 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
280 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
282 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
283 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
284 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
286 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
289 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
291 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
292 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
294 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
296 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
298 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
299 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
301 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
303 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
304 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
305 value depending on if superblock features are set.
307 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
309 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
311 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
312 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
313 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
315 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
318 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
320 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
322 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
324 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
325 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
327 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
328 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
329 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
331 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
332 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
334 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
336 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
338 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
339 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
340 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
342 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
343 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
346 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
349 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
351 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
352 the base device, we should assume that the device is
353 already active in order to force serialization.
355 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
357 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
358 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
361 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
363 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
364 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
365 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
366 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
368 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
369 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
370 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
372 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
374 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
375 documentation for the extern journal device support.
377 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
380 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
382 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
383 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
385 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
386 number to be treated as a journal size.
388 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
391 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
392 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
393 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
394 entire device to get zero'ed.
396 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
398 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
399 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
402 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
404 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
405 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
406 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
407 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
408 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
409 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
410 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
411 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
412 using the absolute size of the journal.
414 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
416 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
417 Also handle the case where the default journal size
418 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
419 the filesystem will be checked.
421 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
423 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
425 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
427 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
430 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
431 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
434 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
435 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
437 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
439 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
440 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
441 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
442 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
443 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
444 with the rest of the options out there.)
446 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
447 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
448 from the external journal's filesystem list.
450 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
451 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
452 given a filesystem size.
454 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
457 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
458 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
460 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
462 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
463 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
464 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
466 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
467 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
468 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
469 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
470 have been created via separate step.
472 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
473 information about an external journal device.
475 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
477 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
478 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
479 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
480 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
481 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
482 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
483 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
484 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
486 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
488 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
489 stdout after printing in-progress message.
490 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
491 the mount status of the device.
493 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
495 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
496 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
497 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
498 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
499 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
501 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
504 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
506 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
508 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
509 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
510 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
512 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
514 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
517 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
518 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
521 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
523 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
524 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
526 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
528 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
529 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
530 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
531 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
533 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
534 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
535 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
537 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
538 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
540 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
542 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
543 struct ext2_super_block.
545 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
546 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
547 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
548 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
549 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
550 using our own version now).
552 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
554 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
555 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
556 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
557 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
558 the parallel_root option.
560 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
563 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
564 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
566 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
567 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
568 support for the journaled data flag.
570 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
572 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
574 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
576 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
577 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
579 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
581 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
584 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
585 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
586 instead of core dumping.
588 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
590 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
591 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
592 journal creation routines for this purpose.
594 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
595 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
597 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
598 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
600 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
602 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
603 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
606 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
607 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
609 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
611 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
613 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
614 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
617 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
618 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
619 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
620 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
623 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
624 group names to uid's before storing them in the
625 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
627 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
629 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
630 option=argument style options, and add support for
631 creating filesystems with external journals.
633 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
635 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
637 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
638 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
640 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
642 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
643 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
646 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
649 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
650 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
653 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
654 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
657 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
659 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
662 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
664 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
665 systems with four IDE interfaces.
667 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
669 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
672 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
673 the inode table location in non-hex format.
675 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
677 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
678 we can't find the device using the name given by
679 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
680 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
682 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
684 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
685 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
686 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
688 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
690 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
692 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
694 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
695 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
697 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
699 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
700 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
702 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
704 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
706 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
708 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
709 are mutually exclusive.
711 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
712 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
713 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
716 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
717 variable before going into the write verification loop.
718 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
719 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
720 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
721 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
722 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
723 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
726 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
727 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
728 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
729 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
732 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
734 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
735 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
736 the progress bar display logic.
738 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
739 max_mount_count is negative.
741 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
742 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
745 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
746 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
747 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
748 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
749 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
750 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
752 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
753 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
754 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
756 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
757 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
758 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
761 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
762 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
765 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
767 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
768 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
769 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
770 old, overly complicated logic.
771 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
772 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
773 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
775 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
777 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
778 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
779 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
780 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
782 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
784 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
785 or LABEL= specification is given.
787 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
788 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
789 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
790 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
791 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
792 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
794 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
795 proceed_question that was busted due to the
796 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
797 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
798 cleared of the previous question's newline.
800 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
802 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
805 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
807 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
808 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
809 manually define optarg and optind.
811 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
814 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
815 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
816 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
817 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
819 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
820 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
822 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
824 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
827 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
829 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
831 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
833 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
834 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
836 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
837 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
838 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
839 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
842 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
843 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
844 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
846 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
848 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
849 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
850 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
851 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
852 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
854 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
855 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
856 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
857 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
858 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
859 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
861 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
863 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
865 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
866 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
867 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
868 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
869 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
871 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
872 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
874 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
876 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
878 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
879 document the -s option.
881 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
883 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
884 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
885 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
886 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
888 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
889 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
890 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
891 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
892 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
893 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
894 Finally, the original data is written back.
896 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
897 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
898 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
899 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
900 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
901 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
902 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
903 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
904 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
905 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
906 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
907 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
908 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
909 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
910 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
912 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
913 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
914 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
917 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
918 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
920 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
921 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
922 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
923 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
924 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
925 and want the host hard drive to flush.
927 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
928 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
929 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
930 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
931 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
932 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
933 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
934 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
937 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
938 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
939 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
940 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
941 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
942 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
943 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
944 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
945 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
946 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
947 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
948 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
949 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
950 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
953 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
954 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
955 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
956 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
957 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
958 for your information.
960 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
961 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
962 which I install which will write back whatever original
963 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
964 (except SIGKILL, of course).
966 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
967 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
968 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
969 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
970 could learn how to update the manpage and other
971 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
972 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
973 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
974 should be in the distribution."
976 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
978 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
979 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
980 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
982 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
984 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
985 option is properly named.
987 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
989 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
990 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
991 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
993 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
995 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
996 the source directory.
998 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1000 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1002 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1004 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1005 filesystem option is properly named.
1007 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1009 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1010 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1011 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1013 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1015 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1017 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1019 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1020 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1021 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1023 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1024 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1025 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1026 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1028 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1029 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1030 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1033 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1034 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1035 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1036 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1039 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1040 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1042 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1044 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1046 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1047 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1048 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1050 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1051 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1054 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1056 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1058 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1060 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1061 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1062 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1063 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1065 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1066 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1067 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1068 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1070 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1072 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1073 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1074 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1075 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1076 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1078 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1080 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1081 changing the sparse superblock option
1083 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1084 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1085 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1088 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1090 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1091 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1093 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1095 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1098 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1101 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1102 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1105 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1108 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1110 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1113 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1115 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1117 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1119 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1120 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1121 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1122 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1123 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1124 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1125 the filesystem the system would make.
1127 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1129 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1130 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1131 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1132 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1133 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1135 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1137 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1138 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1139 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1141 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1143 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1144 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1146 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1148 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1149 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1150 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1151 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1152 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1153 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1155 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1156 UUID=bar type specifications.
1158 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1160 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1161 clear out a large block number.
1163 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1165 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1166 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1168 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1170 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1171 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1173 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1175 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1178 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1180 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1181 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1182 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1183 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1185 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1187 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1190 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1197 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1198 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1199 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1200 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1202 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1204 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1205 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1206 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1207 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1208 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1209 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1211 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1213 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1214 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1215 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1216 fsck pass structure.
1217 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1218 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1221 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1233 needs to be treated as zero.
1235 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1237 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1238 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1240 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1241 program if the -V option is given.
1243 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1244 through a directory.
1246 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1252 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1254 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1256 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for

1263 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1265 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1266 seperated", instead of common separated)
1268 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1270 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1272 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1274 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1275 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1276 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1278 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1280 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1282 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1283 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1284 things look nice on an 80 character display.

1327 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1328 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1329 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1330 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.

1341 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
1343 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
1346 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1347 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1350 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1351 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1352 that the label will be truncated.
1354 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1355 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1356 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

1447 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
1448 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1449 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1452 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1453 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1455 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1457 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
1458 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13

1583 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1586 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1587 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if

1625 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1626 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1627 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1628 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1629 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1630 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1631 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1632 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1635 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1645 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1647 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1648 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1649 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1650 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1651 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1653 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1670 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1671 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1673 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1675 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1678 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1681 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1683 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1684 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1685 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1686 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1688 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1690 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1691 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1692 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1695 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1704 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1706 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1708 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1709 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1710 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1713 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1715 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1717 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1718 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1719 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1721 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1723 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1724 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1725 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1726 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1729 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1730 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1731 alloca is not portable!
1733 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1734 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1737 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1739 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1741 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1744 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1746 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1747 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1749 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1751 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1752 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1754 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1756 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1758 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1759 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1761 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1763 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1765 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1766 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1767 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1768 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1770 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1771 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1772 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1773 statically sized buffer.
1774 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1775 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1777 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1778 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1779 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1780 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1781 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1783 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1784 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1785 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1786 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1789 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1790 support separate compilation directories.
1792 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1794 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1795 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1796 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1797 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1799 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1800 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1801 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1802 very large partition.
1804 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1805 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1806 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1808 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1809 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1810 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1811 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1812 ioctl, which most do.)
1814 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1815 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1816 during 0.5b development.)
1818 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1820 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1821 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1822 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1823 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1826 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1827 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1828 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1830 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1832 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1834 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1835 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1836 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1838 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1840 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1842 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1844 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1846 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1847 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1848 all partitions should be checked.
1850 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1852 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1855 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1858 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1860 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1861 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1863 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1865 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1867 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1869 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1872 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1874 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1876 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1878 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1880 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1882 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1884 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1885 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1886 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1887 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1888 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1890 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1891 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1892 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1893 statistics if necessary.
