3 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): make the default inode ratio at most
4 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
6 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
8 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
9 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
11 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
13 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
14 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
15 is larger than the system's page size according to the
16 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
17 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
18 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
21 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
23 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
25 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
27 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
29 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
31 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
32 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
34 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
36 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
37 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
39 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
41 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
42 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
44 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
46 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
47 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
48 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
49 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
50 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
52 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
54 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
57 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
59 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
60 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
61 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
62 installing the man pages.
64 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
66 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
68 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
70 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
71 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
74 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
77 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
79 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26
81 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
83 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
86 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
87 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
88 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
90 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
92 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
93 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
96 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
98 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
100 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
102 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
104 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
105 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
108 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
110 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
111 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
112 the last checked time on the filesystem.
114 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
116 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
117 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
120 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
121 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
122 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
124 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
125 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
127 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
128 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
129 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
130 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
131 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
133 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
135 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
136 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
137 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
138 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
139 include search path.)
141 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
143 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
144 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
145 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
148 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
150 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
151 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
152 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
154 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
156 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
157 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
158 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
159 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
160 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
162 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
163 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
165 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
168 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
170 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
171 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
172 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
174 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
176 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
179 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
181 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
182 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
184 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
186 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
189 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
191 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
192 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
193 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
194 into a real device name.
196 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
198 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
199 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
200 calls are a good thing. <g>
202 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
204 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
206 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.

210 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
212 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
214 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
217 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
218 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
220 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
222 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
225 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
227 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
229 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>

235 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
237 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
239 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
241 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
242 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
243 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
245 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
247 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
248 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
249 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
250 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
251 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
252 small device (less than 64 blocks).
254 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
256 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
259 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
260 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
261 display, since it only confuses people.
263 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
265 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
268 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
269 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
270 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
272 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
274 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
275 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
276 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
277 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
279 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
280 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
281 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
282 in the ext2 superblock.
284 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
285 malloc'd in interpret spec.
287 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
289 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
291 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
293 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
294 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
297 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
299 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
300 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
301 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
302 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
304 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
305 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
306 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
308 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
309 specified more than once.
311 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
313 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
314 text that erroneously implied that all features
315 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
318 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
320 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
321 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
322 should not be present.
324 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
326 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
328 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
329 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
331 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
333 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
334 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
335 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
336 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
338 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
340 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
341 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
343 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
345 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
346 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
347 blocksize of the new filesystem.
349 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
351 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
352 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
355 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
357 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
358 of the filesystem to determines its type.
360 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
361 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
363 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

376 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
378 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
379 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
380 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
381 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
382 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
384 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
385 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
388 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
389 specified to configure.
391 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
393 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
394 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
396 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
397 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
400 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
401 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
402 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
404 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
406 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
407 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
408 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
410 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
412 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
413 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.

423 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
425 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
426 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
427 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
429 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
430 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
432 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
434 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
435 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
436 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
437 for description of new -t semantics.
439 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
440 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
441 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
443 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
444 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
447 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
449 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
450 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
451 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h

465 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
466 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
468 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
470 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
471 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
472 value depending on if superblock features are set.
474 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
476 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.

492 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
494 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
495 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
496 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
498 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
499 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
501 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
503 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
505 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
506 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
507 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
509 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
510 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
513 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
516 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
518 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
519 the base device, we should assume that the device is
520 already active in order to force serialization.
522 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
524 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
525 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
528 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
530 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
531 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
532 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
533 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
535 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
536 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
537 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
539 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
541 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
542 documentation for the extern journal device support.
544 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
547 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
549 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
550 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
552 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
553 number to be treated as a journal size.
555 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
558 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
559 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
560 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
561 entire device to get zero'ed.
563 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
565 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
566 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
569 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
571 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
572 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
573 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
574 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
575 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
576 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
577 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
578 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
579 using the absolute size of the journal.
581 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
583 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
584 Also handle the case where the default journal size
585 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
586 the filesystem will be checked.
588 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
590 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
592 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
594 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
597 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
598 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
601 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
602 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
604 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
606 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
607 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
608 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
609 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
610 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
611 with the rest of the options out there.)
613 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
614 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
615 from the external journal's filesystem list.
617 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
618 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
619 given a filesystem size.
621 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
624 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
625 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
627 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
629 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
630 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
631 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
633 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
634 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
635 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
636 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
637 have been created via separate step.
639 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
640 information about an external journal device.
642 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
644 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
645 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
646 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
647 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
648 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
649 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
650 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
651 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
653 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
655 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
656 stdout after printing in-progress message.
657 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
658 the mount status of the device.
660 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
662 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
663 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
664 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
665 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
666 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
668 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
671 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
673 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
675 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
676 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
677 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
679 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
681 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
684 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
685 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
688 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
690 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
691 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
693 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
695 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
696 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
697 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
698 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
700 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
701 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
702 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
704 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
705 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
707 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
709 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
710 struct ext2_super_block.
712 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
713 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
714 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
715 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
716 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
717 using our own version now).
719 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
721 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
722 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
723 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
724 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
725 the parallel_root option.
727 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
730 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
731 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
733 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
734 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
735 support for the journaled data flag.
737 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
739 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
741 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
743 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
744 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
746 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
748 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
751 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
752 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
753 instead of core dumping.
755 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
757 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
758 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
759 journal creation routines for this purpose.
761 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
762 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
764 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
765 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
767 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
769 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
770 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
773 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
774 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
776 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
778 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
780 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
781 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
784 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
785 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
786 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
787 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
790 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
791 group names to uid's before storing them in the
792 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
794 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
796 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
797 option=argument style options, and add support for
798 creating filesystems with external journals.
800 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
802 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
804 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
805 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
807 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
809 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
810 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
813 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
816 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
817 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
820 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
821 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
824 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
826 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
829 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
831 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
832 systems with four IDE interfaces.
834 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
836 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
839 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
840 the inode table location in non-hex format.
842 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
844 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
845 we can't find the device using the name given by
846 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
847 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
849 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
851 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
852 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
853 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
855 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
857 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
859 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
861 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
862 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
864 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
866 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
867 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
869 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
871 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
873 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
875 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
876 are mutually exclusive.
878 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
879 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
880 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
883 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
884 variable before going into the write verification loop.
885 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
886 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
887 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
888 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
889 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
890 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
893 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
894 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
895 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
896 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
899 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
901 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
902 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
903 the progress bar display logic.
905 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
906 max_mount_count is negative.
908 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
909 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
912 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
913 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
914 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
915 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
916 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
917 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
919 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
920 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
921 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
923 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
924 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
925 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
928 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
929 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
932 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
934 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
935 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
936 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
937 old, overly complicated logic.
938 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
939 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
940 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
942 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
944 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
945 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
946 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
947 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
949 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
951 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
952 or LABEL= specification is given.
954 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
955 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
956 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
957 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
958 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
959 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
961 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
962 proceed_question that was busted due to the
963 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
964 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
965 cleared of the previous question's newline.
967 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
969 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
972 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
974 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
975 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
976 manually define optarg and optind.
978 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
981 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
982 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
983 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
984 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
986 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
987 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
989 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
991 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
994 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
996 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
998 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1000 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1001 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1003 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1004 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1005 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1006 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1009 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1010 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1011 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1013 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1015 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1016 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1017 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1018 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1019 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1021 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1022 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1023 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1024 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1025 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1026 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1028 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1030 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1032 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1033 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1034 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1035 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1036 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1038 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1039 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1041 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1043 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1045 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1046 document the -s option.
1048 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1050 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1051 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1052 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1053 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1055 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1056 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1057 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1058 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1059 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1060 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1061 Finally, the original data is written back.
1063 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1064 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1065 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1066 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1067 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1068 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1069 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1070 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1071 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1072 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1073 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1074 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1075 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1076 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1077 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1079 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1080 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1081 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1084 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1085 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1087 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1088 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1089 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1090 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1091 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1092 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1094 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1095 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1096 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1097 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1098 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1099 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1100 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1101 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1104 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1105 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1106 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1107 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1108 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1109 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1110 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1111 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1112 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1113 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1114 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1115 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1116 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1117 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1118 completely reliable.
1120 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1121 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1122 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1123 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1124 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1125 for your information.
1127 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1128 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1129 which I install which will write back whatever original
1130 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1131 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1133 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1134 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1135 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1136 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1137 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1138 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1139 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1140 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1141 should be in the distribution."

1145 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1146 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1147 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1149 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1151 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1152 option is properly named.
1154 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1156 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1157 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1158 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1160 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1162 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1163 the source directory.
1165 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1167 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1169 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1171 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1172 filesystem option is properly named.
1174 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1176 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1177 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1178 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1180 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1182 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1184 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1186 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1187 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1188 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1190 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1191 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1192 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1193 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1195 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1196 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1197 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1200 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1201 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1202 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1203 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1206 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1207 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1209 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1211 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1213 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1214 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1215 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1217 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1218 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1221 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1223 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1225 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1227 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1228 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1229 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1230 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1232 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1233 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1234 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1235 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1237 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1239 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1240 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1241 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1242 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1243 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1245 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1247 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1248 changing the sparse superblock option
1250 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1251 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1252 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1255 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1257 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1258 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1260 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1262 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1265 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1268 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1269 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1272 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1275 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1277 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1280 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1282 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1284 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1286 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1287 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1288 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1289 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1290 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1291 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1292 the filesystem the system would make.
1294 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1296 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1297 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1298 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1299 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1300 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1302 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1304 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1305 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1306 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1308 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1310 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1311 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1313 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1315 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1316 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1317 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1318 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1319 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1320 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1322 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1323 UUID=bar type specifications.
1325 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1327 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1328 clear out a large block number.
1330 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1332 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1333 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1335 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1337 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1338 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1340 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1342 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1345 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1347 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1348 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1349 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1350 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1352 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1354 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1357 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1359 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1360 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1362 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1364 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1365 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1366 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1367 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1369 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1371 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1372 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1373 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1374 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1375 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1376 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1378 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1380 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1381 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1382 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1383 fsck pass structure.
1384 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1385 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1388 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1390 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
1392 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1397 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1399 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1400 needs to be treated as zero.
1402 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1404 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1405 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1407 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1408 program if the -V option is given.
1410 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1411 through a directory.
1413 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1415 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1416 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1418 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1419 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1421 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1423 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1424 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1426 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1428 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
1430 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1432 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1433 seperated", instead of common separated)
1435 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1437 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1439 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1441 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1442 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1443 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1445 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1447 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1449 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1450 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1451 things look nice on an 80 character display.
1453 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1455 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage

1469 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
1471 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
1472 * tune2fs.c (usage):
1474 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
1475 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
1477 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
1478 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1481 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1483 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
1486 1998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1491 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1493 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
1494 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1495 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1496 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1497 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
1499 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1501 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.

1508 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
1510 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
1513 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1514 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1517 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1518 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1519 that the label will be truncated.
1521 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1522 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1523 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
1525 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1527 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning

1556 * badblocks.c (main):
1557 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1558 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
1559 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
1562 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1564 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
1565 to fix a -Wall warning.

1570 * mklost+found.c (main):
1572 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1574 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
1575 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
1576 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
1579 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1581 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which
1582 provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem
1585 * Makefile.in (SPROGS): Add Makefile support to build e2label
1587 Tue Jun 17 01:33:20 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1589 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.11
1591 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1593 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
1594 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
1595 80 columns when making a really big disk.
1597 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1599 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,

1601 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
1603 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
1604 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
1605 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
1607 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>

1611 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1613 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
1614 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
1615 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1616 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1619 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1620 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1622 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1624 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not

1635 specified everywhere.
1637 * chattr.c (usage): Added usage message for the 'A' attribute.
1639 Fri Apr 11 18:56:26 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1641 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.08
1643 Thu Apr 10 07:08:03 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1645 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): List the offsets of the inode and block

1656 sparse superblock flag is set.
1657 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
1658 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
1661 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1663 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
1665 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1667 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and
1668 i_gid to be the real user and group id.
1670 Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1672 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error
1673 messages when the device doesn't exist.
1675 Sat Mar 1 10:43:32 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1677 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug where the PATH environment variable isn't
1678 set when it is unset.

1682 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
1683 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
1684 This caused the inode table to not be correctly

1689 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
1691 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
1693 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1695 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that
1696 they frequently update the block number field.
1698 * badblocks.8.in: Document the optional start-block parameter
1700 Mon Oct 14 11:52:58 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1702 * mke2fs.c: Updated to use new ext2fs_allocate_tables() function.
1704 Tue Oct 8 02:02:03 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1706 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.06
1708 Mon Oct 7 00:56:24 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1710 * chattr.1.in: Documented the 'A' (noatime) attribute.
1712 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Change EXT2_SWAP to EXT2_FLAG_SWAP for
1715 Sun Sep 22 16:18:47 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1717 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Add support for the 'A' (noatime) flag.

1723 Sat Sep 7 07:34:11 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1725 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support for new option -C, which sets the
1726 current number of mounts.
1727 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
1728 mostly for debugging.
1730 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1732 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.
1733 (SPROGS): Use @FSCK_PROG@ instead of fsck.
1735 Thu Aug 22 00:51:44 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1737 * mke2fs.c (zap_bootblock): Don't do zap_bootblock on a
1740 Tue Aug 20 00:15:46 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1742 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
1743 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
1745 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1748 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1749 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1750 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1753 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1754 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1755 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1756 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1759 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1761 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1762 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1763 and no version number is specified.
1765 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1767 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
1769 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1771 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
1774 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1776 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1778 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1780 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1781 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1783 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1785 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1787 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1790 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1792 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1793 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1794 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1795 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1796 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1797 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1798 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1799 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1802 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1804 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1806 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1808 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1809 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1812 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1814 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1815 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1816 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1817 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1818 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1820 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1822 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1825 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1827 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1828 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1830 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1832 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1834 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1836 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1837 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1838 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1840 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1842 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1845 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1847 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1848 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1850 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1851 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1852 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1853 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1855 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1857 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1858 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1859 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1862 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1871 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1873 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1875 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1876 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1877 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1880 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1882 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1884 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1885 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1886 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1888 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1890 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1891 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1892 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1893 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1896 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1897 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1898 alloca is not portable!
1900 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1901 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1904 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1906 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1908 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1911 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1913 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1914 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1916 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1918 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1919 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1921 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1923 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1925 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1926 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1928 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1930 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1932 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1933 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1934 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1935 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1937 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1938 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1939 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1940 statically sized buffer.
1941 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1942 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1944 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1945 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1946 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1947 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1948 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1950 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1951 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1952 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1953 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1956 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1957 support separate compilation directories.
1959 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1961 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1962 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1963 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1964 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1966 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1967 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1968 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1969 very large partition.
1971 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1972 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1973 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1975 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1976 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1977 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1978 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1979 ioctl, which most do.)
1981 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1982 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1983 during 0.5b development.)
1985 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1987 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1988 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1989 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1990 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1993 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1994 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1995 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1997 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1999 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2001 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2002 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2003 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2005 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2007 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2009 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2011 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2013 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2014 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2015 all partitions should be checked.
2017 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2019 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2022 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2025 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2027 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2028 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2030 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2032 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2034 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2036 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2039 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2041 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2043 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2045 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2047 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2049 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2051 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2052 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2053 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2054 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2055 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2057 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2058 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2059 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2060 statistics if necessary.
