1 2003-05-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
3 * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Add portability code to work around lack
6 * Makefile.in: Add $(LIBINTL) to the link line so we can support
7 using the internal gettext library.
9 * nls-enable.h: Add #ifndef protection around LOCALEDIR definition.

15 2003-04-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
17 * Makefile.in (uuidgen): Avoid linking lsattr and chattr against
18 libext2fs, and avoid linking blkid against any of the ext2
21 2003-04-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
23 * Makefile.in (fsck): Fsck does not need to linked against the
24 ext2 libraries anymore.
26 2003-04-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
28 * fsck.c (main): Put stdout and stderr into non-buffered mode to
29 avoid cosmetic problems when running fsck under logsave.
31 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Avoid printing the version banner for mke2fs if
32 the -q option is specified. (Addresses Debian bug #172716)
34 * logsave.c: Add support for the -a option (only partially
35 implemented previously). Always log the command-line and
36 start and stop time to the log file. Add support for the
37 -s option, which skips text bracketed between control-A
38 and control-B characters.
40 2003-04-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
42 * logsave.c: New program which saves the output of a command in a
43 log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been
44 mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in
45 memory until it can write out the logfile).
47 2003-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
49 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the argument to -b is negative, treat it as a
50 minimum blocksize. (Feature requested by EVMS developers
51 for mainframe DASD's that do not support 1k blocksizes.)
53 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the -g option. (Addresses Debian bug #188318)
55 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug where mke2fs was incorrectly checking
56 the argument to the -g option, if the default block size
57 is used. (Addresses Debian bug #188319)
59 * tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Document the dir_index filesystem
60 feature which can be used with the -O option.
62 2003-04-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
64 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, interpret_type, fsck_device, ignore,
65 main): Don't evaluate the filesystem type when loading the
66 fstab file, since that might cause fsck to hang trying to
67 read from a floppy disk. (Addresses Debian bug #187812)
68 Add tmpfs and devpts to filesystems that should be
69 ignored, and add jfs, reseirfs, and xfs as filesystems
70 types where we should complain if we can't find the fsck
71 program for that filesystem type.
73 2003-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
75 * badblocks.c (bb_output): Flush output to the badblocks
76 output file as bad blocks are discovered.
78 2003-03-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
80 * chattr.1.in: Clarified the description of the 't' (no tail)
81 attribute. (Addresses Debian bug #185945)

90 symbolic links in the raw image file.
92 2003-03-06 <tytso@mit.edu>
94 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, parse_e2label_options): Allow
95 the device name to be specified using LABEL=xxx or
96 UUID=xxx, since we're including the blkid library anyway.
97 (Addresses Debian bugs #166048, #179671)
99 * tune2fs.8.in, chattr.1.in: Minor man page fixes (Addresses
100 Debian bugs #175233, #175113, and #170497)
102 2003-03-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
104 * Makefile.in (DEPLIBS_BLKID): Use DEPLIBUUID, not LIBUUID to
105 avoid depending on -lsocket on Solaris.
107 2003-03-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
109 * fsck.c, util.c, tune2fs.c, Makefile.in: Use the blkid library
110 instead of the specialized functions in
111 get-device-by-label.c and fstype.c.
113 * base_device.c (base_device): Take a const char* as an argument.
115 * blkid.c: Remove deprecated -d option,

138 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, parse_escape): Add support for
139 backslash escaping in /etc/fstab. (i.e., so that \040
142 2002-11-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
144 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default;
145 the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not
146 the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards
147 compatibility support for dir_indexing removed.
149 2002-11-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
151 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.32
153 2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

165 2002-11-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
167 * chattr.c, chattr.1.in: Add support for a new inode flag, which
168 is to be used for indicating the top of directory
169 hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator.
171 2002-10-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
173 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Pay attention to
174 partitions returned in /proc/partitions that begin with
175 with the string "lvm".
177 2002-10-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
179 * Makefile.in (install): Search all compression extensions when
180 deleting old man pages.
182 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix bug in algorithm which determined

187 erreoneously (and needlessly).
189 2002-10-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
191 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
192 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
193 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
194 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
197 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
199 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
200 if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
201 will still print out the contents of the block group
204 2002-10-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>

212 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (update_mntopts, main): Add new option
213 'o' which allows the system administrator to specify
214 default mount options.
216 2002-10-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
218 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Use a 16k buffer to
219 read in /proc/partitions in one go.
221 * badblocks.c, fsck.c, fstype.c, get_device_by_label.c,
222 tune2fs.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.

231 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Handle a bad block in the
232 inode table correctly.
234 2002-09-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

237 adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
240 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
241 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows
242 badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
243 CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.
245 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
247 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
248 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
249 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
250 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
252 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
254 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
256 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
258 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
259 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
260 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
261 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
262 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
264 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
266 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
268 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to
269 be set. If so, set the default hash to be TEA, and
270 initialize the hash seed to a random value.
272 2002-09-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
274 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Fix bug which caused

282 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
284 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
286 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
287 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
288 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
290 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
291 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
292 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
293 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
296 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
299 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
300 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
302 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive
303 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
306 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
307 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
308 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)
310 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page, and clarified text regarding
311 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
314 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
315 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
318 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
320 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
321 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
323 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
325 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
327 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
328 child fsck processes.
330 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
332 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
333 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
334 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
336 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
338 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
339 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
340 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
342 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
344 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)

353 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
355 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
357 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
358 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
360 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
362 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
363 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
364 is larger than the system's page size according to the
365 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
366 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
367 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
370 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

378 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
380 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
381 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
383 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
385 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
386 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
388 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
390 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
391 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
393 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
395 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
396 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
397 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
398 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
399 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
401 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
403 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
406 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
408 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
409 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
410 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
411 installing the man pages.
413 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
415 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
417 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
419 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
420 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
423 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
426 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>

432 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
435 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
436 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
437 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
439 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
441 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
442 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
443 envrionment variable.
445 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
447 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>

451 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
453 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
454 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
457 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
459 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
460 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
461 the last checked time on the filesystem.
463 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
465 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
466 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
469 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
470 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
471 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
473 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
474 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
476 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
477 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
478 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
479 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
480 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
482 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
484 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
485 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
486 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
487 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
488 include search path.)
490 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
492 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
493 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
494 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
497 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
499 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
500 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
501 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
503 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
505 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
506 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),

508 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
509 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
511 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
512 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
514 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
517 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
519 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
520 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
521 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
523 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
525 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
528 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
530 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
531 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
533 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
535 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
538 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
540 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
541 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
542 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
543 into a real device name.
545 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
547 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
548 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
549 calls are a good thing. <g>
551 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
553 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.

563 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
566 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
567 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
569 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
571 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
574 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>

588 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
590 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
591 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
592 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
594 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
596 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
597 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
598 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
599 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
600 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
601 small device (less than 64 blocks).
603 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
605 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
608 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
609 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
610 display, since it only confuses people.
612 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
614 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
617 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
618 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
619 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
621 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
623 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
624 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
625 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
626 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
628 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
629 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
630 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
631 in the ext2 superblock.
633 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
634 malloc'd in interpret spec.
636 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
638 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
640 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
642 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
643 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
646 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
648 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
649 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
650 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
651 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
653 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
654 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
655 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
657 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
658 specified more than once.
660 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
662 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
663 text that erroneously implied that all features
664 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
667 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
669 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
670 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
671 should not be present.
673 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
675 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
677 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
678 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
680 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
682 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
683 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
684 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
685 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
687 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
689 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
690 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
692 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
694 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
695 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
696 blocksize of the new filesystem.
698 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
700 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
701 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
704 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
706 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
707 of the filesystem to determines its type.
709 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
710 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
712 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
714 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
716 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

720 2001-06-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
722 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
725 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
727 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
728 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
729 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
730 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
731 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
733 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
734 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
737 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
738 specified to configure.
740 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
742 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
743 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
745 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
746 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
749 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
750 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
751 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
753 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
755 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
756 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
757 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
759 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
761 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
762 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.
764 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
766 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
768 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
770 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
772 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
774 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
775 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
776 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
778 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
779 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
781 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
783 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
784 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
785 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
786 for description of new -t semantics.
788 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
789 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
790 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
792 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
793 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
796 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
798 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
799 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
800 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
802 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
805 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
807 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
808 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
810 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
812 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
814 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
815 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
817 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
819 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
820 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
821 value depending on if superblock features are set.
823 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
825 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
827 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
828 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
829 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
831 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
834 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
836 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
838 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
840 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
841 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
843 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
844 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
845 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
847 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
848 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
850 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
852 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
854 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
855 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
856 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
858 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
859 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
862 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
865 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
867 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
868 the base device, we should assume that the device is
869 already active in order to force serialization.
871 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
873 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
874 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
877 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
879 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
880 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
881 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
882 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
884 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
885 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
886 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
888 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
890 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
891 documentation for the extern journal device support.
893 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
896 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
898 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
899 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
901 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
902 number to be treated as a journal size.
904 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
907 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
908 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
909 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
910 entire device to get zero'ed.
912 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
914 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
915 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
918 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
920 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
921 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
922 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
923 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
924 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
925 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
926 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
927 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
928 using the absolute size of the journal.
930 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
932 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
933 Also handle the case where the default journal size
934 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
935 the filesystem will be checked.
937 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
939 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
941 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
943 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
946 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
947 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
950 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
951 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
953 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
955 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
956 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
957 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
958 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
959 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
960 with the rest of the options out there.)
962 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
963 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
964 from the external journal's filesystem list.
966 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
967 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
968 given a filesystem size.
970 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
973 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
974 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
976 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
978 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
979 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
980 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
982 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
983 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
984 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
985 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
986 have been created via separate step.
988 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
989 information about an external journal device.
991 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
993 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
994 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
995 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
996 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
997 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
998 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
999 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
1000 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
1002 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
1004 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
1005 stdout after printing in-progress message.
1006 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
1007 the mount status of the device.
1009 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1011 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
1012 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
1013 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
1014 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
1015 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
1017 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
1020 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
1022 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1024 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
1025 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
1026 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
1028 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1030 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
1033 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
1034 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
1037 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
1039 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
1040 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
1042 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1044 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
1045 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
1046 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
1047 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
1049 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
1050 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
1051 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
1053 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
1054 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
1056 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1058 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
1059 struct ext2_super_block.
1061 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
1062 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
1063 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
1064 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
1065 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
1066 using our own version now).
1068 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1070 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
1071 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
1072 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
1073 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
1074 the parallel_root option.
1076 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
1077 the file attributes.
1079 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
1080 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
1082 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
1083 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
1084 support for the journaled data flag.
1086 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
1088 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1090 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
1092 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
1093 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
1095 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1097 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
1100 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
1101 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
1102 instead of core dumping.
1104 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1106 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
1107 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
1108 journal creation routines for this purpose.
1110 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
1111 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
1113 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
1114 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
1116 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1118 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
1119 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
1122 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
1123 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
1125 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
1127 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1129 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
1130 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
1133 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
1134 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
1135 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
1136 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
1139 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
1140 group names to uid's before storing them in the
1141 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
1143 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1145 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
1146 option=argument style options, and add support for
1147 creating filesystems with external journals.
1149 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
1151 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1153 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
1154 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
1156 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1158 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
1159 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
1162 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
1165 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
1166 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
1169 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
1170 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
1173 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1175 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
1178 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
1180 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
1181 systems with four IDE interfaces.
1183 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
1185 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1188 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1189 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1191 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1193 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1194 we can't find the device using the name given by
1195 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1196 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1198 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1200 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1201 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1202 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1204 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1206 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1208 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1210 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1211 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1213 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1215 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1216 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1218 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1220 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1222 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1224 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1225 are mutually exclusive.
1227 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1228 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1229 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1232 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1233 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1234 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1235 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1236 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1237 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1238 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1239 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1242 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1243 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1244 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1245 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1248 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1250 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1251 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1252 the progress bar display logic.
1254 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1255 max_mount_count is negative.
1257 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1258 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1261 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1262 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1263 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1264 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1265 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1266 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1268 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1269 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1270 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1272 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1273 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1274 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1277 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1278 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1279 device as a default.
1281 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1283 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1284 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1285 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1286 old, overly complicated logic.
1287 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1288 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1289 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1291 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1293 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1294 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1295 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1296 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1298 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1300 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1301 or LABEL= specification is given.
1303 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1304 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1305 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1306 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1307 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1308 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1310 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1311 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1312 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1313 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1314 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1316 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1318 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1319 support fdatasync().
1321 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1323 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1324 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1325 manually define optarg and optind.
1327 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1330 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1331 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1332 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1333 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1335 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1336 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1338 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1340 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1343 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1345 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1347 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1349 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1350 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1352 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1353 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1354 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1355 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1358 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1359 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1360 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1362 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1364 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1365 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1366 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1367 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1368 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1370 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1371 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1372 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1373 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1374 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1375 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1377 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1379 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1381 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1382 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1383 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1384 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1385 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1387 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1388 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1390 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1392 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1394 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1395 document the -s option.
1397 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1399 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1400 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1401 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1402 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1404 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1405 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1406 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1407 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1408 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1409 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1410 Finally, the original data is written back.
1412 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1413 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1414 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1415 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1416 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1417 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1418 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1419 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1420 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1421 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1422 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1423 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1424 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1425 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1426 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1428 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1429 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1430 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1433 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1434 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1436 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1437 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1438 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1439 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1440 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1441 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1443 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1444 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1445 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1446 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1447 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1448 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1449 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1450 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1453 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1454 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1455 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1456 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1457 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1458 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1459 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1460 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1461 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1462 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1463 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1464 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1465 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1466 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1467 completely reliable.
1469 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1470 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1471 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1472 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1473 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1474 for your information.
1476 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1477 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1478 which I install which will write back whatever original
1479 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1480 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1482 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1483 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1484 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1485 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1486 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1487 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1488 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1489 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1490 should be in the distribution."
1492 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1494 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1495 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1496 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1498 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1500 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1501 option is properly named.
1503 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1505 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1506 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1507 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1509 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1511 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1512 the source directory.
1514 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1516 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1518 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1520 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1521 filesystem option is properly named.
1523 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1525 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1526 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1527 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1529 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1531 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1533 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1535 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1536 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1537 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1539 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1540 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1541 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1542 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1544 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1545 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1546 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1549 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1550 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1551 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1552 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1555 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1556 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1558 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1560 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1562 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1563 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1564 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1566 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1567 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1570 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1572 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1574 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1576 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1577 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1578 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1579 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1581 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1582 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1583 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1584 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1586 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1588 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1589 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1590 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1591 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1592 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1594 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1596 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1597 changing the sparse superblock option
1599 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1600 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1601 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1604 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1606 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1607 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1609 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1611 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1614 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1617 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1618 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1621 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1624 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1626 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1629 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1631 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1633 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1635 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1636 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1637 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1638 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1639 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1640 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1641 the filesystem the system would make.
1643 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1645 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1646 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1647 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1648 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1649 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1651 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1653 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1654 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1655 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1657 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1659 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1660 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1662 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1664 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1665 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1666 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1667 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1668 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1669 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1671 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1672 UUID=bar type specifications.
1674 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1676 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1677 clear out a large block number.
1679 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1681 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1682 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1684 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1686 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1687 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1689 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1691 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1694 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1696 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1697 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1698 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1699 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.

1720 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1721 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1722 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1723 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1724 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1725 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1727 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1729 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they

1732 fsck pass structure.
1733 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1734 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1737 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1784 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1786 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1788 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1790 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1791 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1792 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1794 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1796 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.

1843 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1844 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs

1857 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
1859 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
1862 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1863 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1866 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1867 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1868 that the label will be truncated.
1870 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1871 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a

1950 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
1952 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
1953 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
1954 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.

1964 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1965 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1968 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1969 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1971 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1973 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
1974 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
1977 Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2097 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
2098 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
2099 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
2102 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
2103 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
2104 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets

2108 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
2110 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to

2139 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2141 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
2142 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
2143 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
2144 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
2145 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
2146 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
2147 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
2148 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
2151 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2153 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02

2161 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2163 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
2164 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
2165 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
2166 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
2167 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
2169 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2171 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
2174 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2176 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a

2186 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
2187 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
2189 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2191 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
2194 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2196 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
2197 function to determine if the device is mounted.
2199 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
2200 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
2201 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
2202 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
2204 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2206 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
2207 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
2208 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
2211 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>

2229 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
2231 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2233 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2234 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
2235 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
2237 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2239 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2240 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2241 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2242 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2245 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2246 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
2247 alloca is not portable!
2249 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
2250 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2253 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
2255 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
2257 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
2260 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
2262 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2263 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
2265 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2267 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2268 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
2270 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2272 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2274 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2275 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2277 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2279 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2281 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
2282 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
2283 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
2284 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2286 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
2287 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2288 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2289 statically sized buffer.
2290 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2291 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2293 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2294 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2295 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2296 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2297 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2299 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2300 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2301 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2302 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2305 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2306 support separate compilation directories.
2308 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2310 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2311 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2312 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2313 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2315 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2316 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2317 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2318 very large partition.
2320 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2321 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2322 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2324 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2325 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2326 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2327 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2328 ioctl, which most do.)
2330 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2331 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2332 during 0.5b development.)
2334 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2336 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2337 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2338 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2339 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2342 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2343 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2344 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2346 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2348 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2350 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2351 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2352 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2354 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2356 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2358 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2360 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2362 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2363 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2364 all partitions should be checked.
2366 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2368 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2371 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2374 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2376 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2377 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2379 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2381 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2383 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2385 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2388 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2390 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2392 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2394 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2396 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2398 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2400 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2401 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2402 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2403 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2404 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2406 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2407 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2408 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2409 statistics if necessary.
