13 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
14 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
17 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
18 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
19 that the label will be truncated.
21 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
22 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
23 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

47 * badblocks.8.in: Add documentation for the -s option.
49 Fri Oct 24 23:37:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
52 * chattr.c: Remove #include of getopt.h, since it's not needed.
58 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
59 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
62 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
64 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,

70 * mklost+found.c (main):
74 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
75 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
76 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
79 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

91 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
93 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
94 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
95 80 columns when making a really big disk.
97 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
99 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
100 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
101 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
103 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
104 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the

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

151 * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
152 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
154 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
155 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
156 sparse superblock flag is set.
157 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
158 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
161 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
163 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
165 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
167 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and

178 set when it is unset.
180 Tue Jan 14 12:30:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
182 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
183 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
184 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
187 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
189 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
191 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
193 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

243 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
245 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
248 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
249 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
250 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
253 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
254 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
255 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
256 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
259 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
261 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
262 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
263 and no version number is specified.
265 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
267 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
269 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
271 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
274 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
276 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
278 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
280 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
281 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
283 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
285 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
287 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
290 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
292 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
293 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
294 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
295 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
296 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
297 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
298 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
299 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
302 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
304 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
306 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
308 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
309 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
312 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
314 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
315 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
316 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
317 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
318 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
320 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
322 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
325 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
327 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
328 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
330 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
332 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
334 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
336 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
337 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
338 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
340 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
342 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
345 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
347 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
348 function to determine if the device is mounted.
350 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
351 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
352 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
353 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
355 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
357 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
358 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
359 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
362 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
371 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
373 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
375 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
376 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
377 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
380 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
382 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
384 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
385 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
386 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
388 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
390 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
391 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
392 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
393 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
396 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
397 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
398 alloca is not portable!
400 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
401 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
404 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
406 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
408 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
411 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
413 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
414 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
416 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
418 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
419 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
421 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
423 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
425 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
426 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
428 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
430 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
432 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
433 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
434 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
435 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
437 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
438 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
439 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
440 statically sized buffer.
441 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
442 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
444 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
445 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
446 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
447 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
448 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
450 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
451 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
452 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
453 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
456 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
457 support separate compilation directories.
459 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
461 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
462 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
463 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
464 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
466 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
467 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
468 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
469 very large partition.
471 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
472 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
473 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
475 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
476 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
477 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
478 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
479 ioctl, which most do.)
481 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
482 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
483 during 0.5b development.)
485 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
487 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
488 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
489 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
490 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
493 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
494 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
495 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
497 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
499 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
501 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
502 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
503 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
505 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
507 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
509 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
511 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
513 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
514 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
515 all partitions should be checked.
517 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
519 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
522 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
525 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
527 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
528 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
530 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
532 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
534 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
536 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
539 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
541 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
543 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
545 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
547 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
549 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
551 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
552 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
553 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
554 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
555 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
557 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
558 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
559 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
560 statistics if necessary.
