1 2003-04-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
3 * logsave.c: Add support for the -a option (only partially
4 implemented previously). Always log the command-line and
5 start and stop time to the log file. Add support for the
6 -s option, which skips text bracketed between control-A
7 and control-B characters.
9 2003-04-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
11 * logsave.c: New program which saves the output of a command in a
12 log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been
13 mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in
14 memory until it can write out the logfile).
16 2003-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
18 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the argument to -b is negative, treat it as a
19 minimum blocksize. (Feature requested by EVMS developers
20 for mainframe DASD's that do not support 1k blocksizes.)
22 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the -g option. (Addresses Debian bug #188318)
24 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug where mke2fs was incorrectly checking
25 the argument to the -g option, if the default block size
26 is used. (Addresses Debian bug #188319)
28 * tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Document the dir_index filesystem
29 feature which can be used with the -O option.
31 2003-04-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
33 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, interpret_type, fsck_device, ignore,
34 main): Don't evaluate the filesystem type when loading the
35 fstab file, since that might cause fsck to hang trying to
36 read from a floppy disk. (Addresses Debian bug #187812)
37 Add tmpfs and devpts to filesystems that should be
38 ignored, and add jfs, reseirfs, and xfs as filesystems
39 types where we should complain if we can't find the fsck
40 program for that filesystem type.
42 2003-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
44 * badblocks.c (bb_output): Flush output to the badblocks
45 output file as bad blocks are discovered.
47 2003-03-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
49 * chattr.1.in: Clarified the description of the 't' (no tail)
50 attribute. (Addresses Debian bug #185945)
52 2003-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
54 * fsck.c: And #ifdef protection around #include of malloc.h
56 2003-03-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

59 symbolic links in the raw image file.
61 2003-03-06 <tytso@mit.edu>
63 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, parse_e2label_options): Allow
64 the device name to be specified using LABEL=xxx or
65 UUID=xxx, since we're including the blkid library anyway.
66 (Addresses Debian bugs #166048, #179671)
68 * tune2fs.8.in, chattr.1.in: Minor man page fixes (Addresses
69 Debian bugs #175233, #175113, and #170497)
71 2003-03-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
73 * Makefile.in (DEPLIBS_BLKID): Use DEPLIBUUID, not LIBUUID to
74 avoid depending on -lsocket on Solaris.
76 2003-03-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
78 * fsck.c, util.c, tune2fs.c, Makefile.in: Use the blkid library
79 instead of the specialized functions in
80 get-device-by-label.c and fstype.c.
82 * base_device.c (base_device): Take a const char* as an argument.
84 * blkid.c: Remove deprecated -d option,
86 2003-02-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

108 backslash escaping in /etc/fstab. (i.e., so that \040
111 2002-11-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
113 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default;
114 the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not
115 the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards
116 compatibility support for dir_indexing removed.
118 2002-11-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
120 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.32
122 2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
124 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.31
126 2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

132 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.30
134 2002-11-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
136 * chattr.c, chattr.1.in: Add support for a new inode flag, which
137 is to be used for indicating the top of directory
138 hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator.
140 2002-10-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
142 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Pay attention to
143 partitions returned in /proc/partitions that begin with
144 with the string "lvm".
146 2002-10-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
148 * Makefile.in (install): Search all compression extensions when
149 deleting old man pages.
151 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix bug in algorithm which determined
152 which blocks are used as backup superblock and block group
155 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug which checked the tmp pointer
156 erreoneously (and needlessly).
158 2002-10-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
160 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
161 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
162 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
163 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
166 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
168 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
169 if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
170 will still print out the contents of the block group
173 2002-10-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
175 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), mke2fs.c (PRS), e2image.c
176 (mark_table_blocks): Add support for the meta_blockgroup
179 2002-10-15 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
181 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (update_mntopts, main): Add new option
182 'o' which allows the system administrator to specify
183 default mount options.
185 2002-10-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
187 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Use a 16k buffer to
188 read in /proc/partitions in one go.
190 * badblocks.c, fsck.c, fstype.c, get_device_by_label.c,
191 tune2fs.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
193 2002-10-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
195 * mklost+found.c (main): Make sure the lost+found directory is
196 created with 0700 permissions.
198 2002-10-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
200 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Handle a bad block in the
201 inode table correctly.
203 2002-09-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
205 * get_device_by_label.c: Applied sourceforge patch #613447, which
206 adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
209 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
210 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows
211 badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
212 CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.
214 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
216 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
217 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
218 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
219 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
221 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
223 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
225 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
227 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
228 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
229 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
230 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
231 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
233 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
235 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
237 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to
238 be set. If so, set the default hash to be TEA, and
239 initialize the hash seed to a random value.
241 2002-09-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
243 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Fix bug which caused
244 LABEL='xxx' to not work correctly when using LVM.
245 (Reversed sense of error check reported by ateeq@hotpop.com)

249 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.28
251 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
253 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
255 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
256 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
257 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
259 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
260 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
261 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
262 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
265 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
268 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
269 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
271 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive
272 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
275 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
276 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
277 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)
279 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page, and clarified text regarding
280 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
283 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
284 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
287 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
289 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
290 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
292 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
294 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
296 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
297 child fsck processes.
299 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
301 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
302 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
303 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
305 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
307 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
308 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
309 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
311 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
313 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)

317 * chattr.c: Applied patch from Andrew to support the dirsync flag.
319 2002-05-22 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
321 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): make the default inode ratio at most
322 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
324 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
326 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
327 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
329 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
331 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
332 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
333 is larger than the system's page size according to the
334 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
335 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
336 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
339 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
341 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
343 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
345 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
347 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
349 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
350 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
352 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
354 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
355 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
357 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
359 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
360 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
362 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
364 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
365 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
366 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
367 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
368 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
370 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
372 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
375 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
377 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
378 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
379 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
380 installing the man pages.
382 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
384 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
386 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
388 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
389 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
392 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
395 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
397 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26
399 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
401 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
404 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
405 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
406 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
408 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
410 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
411 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
412 envrionment variable.
414 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
416 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
418 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
420 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
422 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
423 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
426 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
428 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
429 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
430 the last checked time on the filesystem.
432 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
434 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
435 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
438 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
439 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
440 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
442 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
443 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
445 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
446 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
447 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
448 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
449 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
451 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
453 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
454 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
455 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
456 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
457 include search path.)
459 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
461 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
462 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
463 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
466 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
468 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
469 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
470 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
472 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
474 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
475 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
476 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
477 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
478 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
480 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
481 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
483 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
486 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
488 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
489 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
490 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
492 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
494 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
497 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
499 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
500 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
502 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
504 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
507 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
509 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
510 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
511 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
512 into a real device name.
514 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
516 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
517 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
518 calls are a good thing. <g>
520 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
522 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
524 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
526 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
528 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
530 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
532 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
535 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
536 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
538 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
540 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
543 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
545 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
547 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
549 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.
551 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
553 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
555 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
557 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
559 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
560 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
561 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
563 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
565 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
566 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
567 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
568 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
569 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
570 small device (less than 64 blocks).
572 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
574 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
577 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
578 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
579 display, since it only confuses people.
581 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
583 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
586 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
587 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
588 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
590 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
592 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
593 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
594 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
595 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
597 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
598 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
599 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
600 in the ext2 superblock.
602 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
603 malloc'd in interpret spec.
605 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
607 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
609 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
611 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
612 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
615 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
617 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
618 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
619 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
620 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
622 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
623 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
624 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
626 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
627 specified more than once.
629 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
631 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
632 text that erroneously implied that all features
633 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
636 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
638 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
639 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
640 should not be present.
642 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
644 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
646 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
647 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
649 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
651 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
652 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
653 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
654 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
656 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
658 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
659 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
661 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
663 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
664 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
665 blocksize of the new filesystem.
667 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
669 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
670 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
673 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
675 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
676 of the filesystem to determines its type.
678 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
679 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
681 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
683 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
685 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

694 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
696 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
697 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
698 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
699 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
700 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
702 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
703 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
706 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
707 specified to configure.
709 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
711 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
712 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
714 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
715 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
718 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
719 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
720 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
722 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
724 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
725 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
726 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
728 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
730 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
731 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.
733 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
735 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
737 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
739 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
741 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
743 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
744 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
745 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
747 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
748 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
750 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
752 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
753 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
754 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
755 for description of new -t semantics.
757 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
758 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
759 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
761 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
762 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
765 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
767 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
768 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
769 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
771 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
774 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
776 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
777 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
779 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
781 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
783 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
784 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
786 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
788 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
789 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
790 value depending on if superblock features are set.
792 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
794 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
796 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
797 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
798 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
800 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
803 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
805 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
807 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
809 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
810 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
812 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
813 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
814 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
816 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
817 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
819 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
821 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
823 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
824 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
825 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
827 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
828 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
831 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
834 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
836 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
837 the base device, we should assume that the device is
838 already active in order to force serialization.
840 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
842 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
843 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
846 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
848 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
849 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
850 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
851 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
853 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
854 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
855 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
857 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
859 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
860 documentation for the extern journal device support.
862 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
865 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
867 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
868 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
870 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
871 number to be treated as a journal size.
873 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
876 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
877 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
878 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
879 entire device to get zero'ed.
881 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
883 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
884 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
887 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
889 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
890 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
891 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
892 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
893 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
894 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
895 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
896 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
897 using the absolute size of the journal.
899 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
901 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
902 Also handle the case where the default journal size
903 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
904 the filesystem will be checked.
906 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
908 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
910 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
912 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
915 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
916 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
919 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
920 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
922 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
924 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
925 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
926 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
927 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
928 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
929 with the rest of the options out there.)
931 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
932 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
933 from the external journal's filesystem list.
935 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
936 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
937 given a filesystem size.
939 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
942 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
943 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
945 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
947 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
948 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
949 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
951 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
952 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
953 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
954 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
955 have been created via separate step.
957 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
958 information about an external journal device.
960 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
962 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
963 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
964 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
965 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
966 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
967 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
968 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
969 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
971 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
973 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
974 stdout after printing in-progress message.
975 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
976 the mount status of the device.
978 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
980 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
981 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
982 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
983 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
984 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
986 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
989 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
991 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
993 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
994 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
995 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
997 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
999 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
1002 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
1003 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
1006 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
1008 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
1009 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
1011 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1013 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
1014 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
1015 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
1016 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
1018 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
1019 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
1020 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
1022 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
1023 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
1025 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1027 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
1028 struct ext2_super_block.
1030 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
1031 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
1032 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
1033 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
1034 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
1035 using our own version now).
1037 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1039 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
1040 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
1041 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
1042 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
1043 the parallel_root option.
1045 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
1046 the file attributes.
1048 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
1049 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
1051 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
1052 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
1053 support for the journaled data flag.
1055 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
1057 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1059 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
1061 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
1062 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
1064 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1066 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
1069 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
1070 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
1071 instead of core dumping.
1073 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1075 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
1076 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
1077 journal creation routines for this purpose.
1079 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
1080 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
1082 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
1083 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
1085 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1087 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
1088 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
1091 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
1092 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
1094 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
1096 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1098 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
1099 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
1102 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
1103 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
1104 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
1105 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
1108 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
1109 group names to uid's before storing them in the
1110 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
1112 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1114 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
1115 option=argument style options, and add support for
1116 creating filesystems with external journals.
1118 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
1120 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1122 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
1123 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
1125 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1127 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
1128 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
1131 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
1134 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
1135 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
1138 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
1139 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
1142 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1144 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
1147 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
1149 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
1150 systems with four IDE interfaces.
1152 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
1154 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1157 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1158 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1160 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1162 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1163 we can't find the device using the name given by
1164 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1165 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1167 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1169 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1170 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1171 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1173 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1175 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1177 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1179 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1180 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1182 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1184 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1185 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1187 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1189 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1191 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1193 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1194 are mutually exclusive.
1196 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1197 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1198 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1201 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1202 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1203 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1204 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1205 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1206 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1207 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1208 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1211 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1212 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1213 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1214 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1217 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1219 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1220 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1221 the progress bar display logic.
1223 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1224 max_mount_count is negative.
1226 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1227 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1230 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1231 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1232 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1233 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1234 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1235 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1237 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1238 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1239 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1241 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1242 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1243 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1246 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1247 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1248 device as a default.
1250 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1252 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1253 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1254 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1255 old, overly complicated logic.
1256 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1257 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1258 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1260 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1262 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1263 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1264 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1265 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1267 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1269 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1270 or LABEL= specification is given.
1272 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1273 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1274 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1275 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1276 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1277 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1279 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1280 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1281 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1282 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1283 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1285 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1287 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1288 support fdatasync().
1290 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1292 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1293 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1294 manually define optarg and optind.
1296 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1299 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1300 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1301 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1302 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1304 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1305 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1307 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1309 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1312 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1314 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1316 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1318 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1319 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1321 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1322 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1323 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1324 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1327 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1328 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1329 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1331 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1333 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1334 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1335 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1336 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1337 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1339 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1340 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1341 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1342 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1343 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1344 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1346 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1348 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1350 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1351 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1352 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1353 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1354 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1356 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1357 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1359 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1361 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1363 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1364 document the -s option.
1366 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1368 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1369 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1370 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1371 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1373 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1374 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1375 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1376 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1377 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1378 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1379 Finally, the original data is written back.
1381 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1382 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1383 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1384 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1385 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1386 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1387 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1388 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1389 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1390 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1391 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1392 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1393 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1394 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1395 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1397 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1398 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1399 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1402 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1403 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1405 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1406 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1407 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1408 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1409 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1410 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1412 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1413 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1414 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1415 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1416 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1417 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1418 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1419 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1422 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1423 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1424 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1425 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1426 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1427 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1428 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1429 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1430 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1431 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1432 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1433 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1434 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1435 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1436 completely reliable.
1438 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1439 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1440 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1441 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1442 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1443 for your information.
1445 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1446 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1447 which I install which will write back whatever original
1448 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1449 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1451 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1452 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1453 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1454 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1455 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1456 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1457 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1458 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1459 should be in the distribution."
1461 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1463 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1464 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1465 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1467 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1469 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1470 option is properly named.
1472 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1474 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1475 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1476 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1478 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1480 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1481 the source directory.
1483 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1485 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1487 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1489 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1490 filesystem option is properly named.
1492 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1494 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1495 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1496 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1498 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1500 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1502 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1504 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1505 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1506 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1508 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1509 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1510 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1511 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1513 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1514 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1515 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1518 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1519 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1520 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1521 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1524 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1525 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1527 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1529 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1531 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1532 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1533 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1535 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1536 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1539 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1541 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1543 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1545 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1546 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1547 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1548 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1550 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1551 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1552 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1553 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1555 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1557 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1558 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1559 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1560 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1561 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1563 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1565 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1566 changing the sparse superblock option
1568 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1569 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1570 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1573 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1575 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1576 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1578 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1580 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1583 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1586 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1587 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1590 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1593 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1595 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1598 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1600 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1602 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1604 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1605 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1606 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1607 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1608 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1609 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1610 the filesystem the system would make.
1612 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1614 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1615 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1616 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1617 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1618 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1620 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1622 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1623 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1624 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1626 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1628 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1629 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1631 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1633 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1634 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1635 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1636 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1637 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1638 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1640 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1641 UUID=bar type specifications.
1643 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1645 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1646 clear out a large block number.
1648 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1650 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1651 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1653 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1655 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1656 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1658 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1660 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1663 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1665 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1666 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1667 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1668 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1670 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1672 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1675 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1677 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1678 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1680 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1682 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1683 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1684 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1685 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1687 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1689 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1690 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1691 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1692 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1693 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1694 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.

1702 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1703 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1706 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1812 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1813 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1814 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1815 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.

1837 that the label will be truncated.
1839 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1840 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a

1934 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1937 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1938 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1940 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1942 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not

2110 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
2111 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
2112 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
2113 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
2114 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
2115 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
2116 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
2117 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
2120 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2132 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
2133 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
2134 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
2135 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
2136 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
2138 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2158 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2160 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
2163 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2166 function to determine if the device is mounted.
2168 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
2169 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
2170 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
2171 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
2173 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2175 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user

2200 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2202 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2203 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the

2206 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2208 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2209 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2210 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2211 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2214 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2215 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
2216 alloca is not portable!

2219 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2222 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.

2232 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
2234 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2236 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2237 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
2239 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2241 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2243 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2244 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2246 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2248 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2250 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
2251 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
2252 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
2253 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2255 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
2256 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2257 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2258 statically sized buffer.
2259 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2260 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2262 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2263 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2264 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2265 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2266 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2268 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2269 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2270 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2271 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2274 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2275 support separate compilation directories.
2277 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2279 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2280 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2281 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2282 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2284 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2285 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2286 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2287 very large partition.
2289 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2290 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2291 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2293 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2294 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2295 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2296 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2297 ioctl, which most do.)
2299 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2300 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2301 during 0.5b development.)
2303 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2305 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2306 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2307 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2308 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2311 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2312 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2313 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2315 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2317 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2319 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2320 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2321 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2323 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2325 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2327 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2329 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2331 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2332 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2333 all partitions should be checked.
2335 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2337 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2340 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2343 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2345 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2346 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2348 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2350 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2352 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2354 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2357 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2359 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2361 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2363 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2365 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2367 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2369 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2370 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2371 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2372 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2373 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2375 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2376 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2377 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2378 statistics if necessary.
