3 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
5 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
7 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
8 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
9 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
10 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
11 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
13 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
15 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
17 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to
18 be set. If so, set the default hash to be TEA, and
19 initialize the hash seed to a random value.
21 2002-09-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
23 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Fix bug which caused
24 LABEL='xxx' to not work correctly when using LVM.
25 (Reversed sense of error check reported by ateeq@hotpop.com)

31 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
33 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
35 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
36 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
37 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
39 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
40 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
41 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
42 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
45 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
48 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
49 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
51 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive
52 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
55 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
56 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
57 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)
59 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page, and clarified text regarding
60 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
63 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
64 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
67 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
69 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
70 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
72 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
74 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
76 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
79 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
81 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
82 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
83 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
85 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
87 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
88 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
89 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
91 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
93 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)

102 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
104 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
106 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
107 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
109 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
111 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
112 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
113 is larger than the system's page size according to the
114 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
115 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
116 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
119 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
121 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
123 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
125 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
127 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
129 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
130 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
132 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
134 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
135 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
137 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
139 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
140 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
142 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
144 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
145 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
146 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
147 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
148 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
150 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
152 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
155 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
157 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
158 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
159 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
160 installing the man pages.
162 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
164 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
166 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
168 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
169 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
172 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
175 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
177 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26

181 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
184 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
185 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
186 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
188 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
190 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
191 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
192 envrionment variable.
194 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
196 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
198 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
200 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
202 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
203 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
206 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
208 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
209 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
210 the last checked time on the filesystem.
212 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
214 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
215 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
218 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
219 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
220 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
222 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
223 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
225 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
226 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
227 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
228 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
229 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
231 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
233 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
234 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
235 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
236 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
237 include search path.)
239 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
241 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
242 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
243 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
246 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
248 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
249 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
250 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
252 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
254 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
255 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
256 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
257 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
258 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
260 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
261 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
263 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
266 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
268 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
269 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
270 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
272 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
274 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
277 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
279 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
280 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
282 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
284 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
287 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
289 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
290 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
291 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
292 into a real device name.
294 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
296 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
297 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
298 calls are a good thing. <g>
300 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
302 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
304 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
306 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
308 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
310 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
312 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
315 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
316 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
318 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
320 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
323 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
325 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
327 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
329 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.
331 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
333 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
335 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
337 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
339 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
340 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
341 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
343 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
345 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
346 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
347 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
348 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
349 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
350 small device (less than 64 blocks).
352 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
354 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
357 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
358 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
359 display, since it only confuses people.
361 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
363 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
366 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
367 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
368 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
370 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
372 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
373 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
374 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
375 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
377 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
378 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
379 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
380 in the ext2 superblock.
382 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
383 malloc'd in interpret spec.
385 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
387 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
389 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
391 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
392 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
395 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
397 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
398 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
399 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
400 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
402 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
403 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
404 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
406 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
407 specified more than once.
409 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
411 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
412 text that erroneously implied that all features
413 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
416 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
418 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
419 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
420 should not be present.
422 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
424 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
426 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
427 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
429 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
431 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
432 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
433 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
434 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
436 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
438 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
439 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
441 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
443 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
444 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
445 blocksize of the new filesystem.
447 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
449 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
450 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
453 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
455 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
456 of the filesystem to determines its type.
458 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
459 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
461 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
463 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22

474 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
476 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
477 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
478 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
479 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
480 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
482 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
483 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
486 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
487 specified to configure.
489 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
491 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
492 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
494 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
495 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
498 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
499 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
500 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
502 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
504 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
505 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
506 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
508 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
510 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
511 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.

521 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
523 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
524 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
525 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
527 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
528 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
530 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
532 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
533 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
534 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
535 for description of new -t semantics.
537 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
538 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
539 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
541 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
542 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
545 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
547 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
548 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
549 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h

561 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
563 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
564 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
566 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
568 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
569 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
570 value depending on if superblock features are set.
572 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
574 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
576 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
577 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
578 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.

585 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
587 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
589 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
590 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
592 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
593 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
594 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
596 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
597 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
599 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
601 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
603 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
604 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
605 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
607 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
608 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
611 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
614 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
616 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
617 the base device, we should assume that the device is
618 already active in order to force serialization.
620 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
622 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
623 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
626 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
628 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
629 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
630 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
631 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
633 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
634 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
635 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
637 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
639 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
640 documentation for the extern journal device support.
642 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
645 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
647 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
648 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
650 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
651 number to be treated as a journal size.
653 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
656 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
657 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
658 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
659 entire device to get zero'ed.
661 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
663 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
664 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
667 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
669 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
670 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
671 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
672 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
673 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
674 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
675 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
676 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
677 using the absolute size of the journal.
679 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
681 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
682 Also handle the case where the default journal size
683 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
684 the filesystem will be checked.
686 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
688 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
690 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
692 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
695 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
696 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
699 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
700 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
702 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
704 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
705 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
706 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
707 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
708 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
709 with the rest of the options out there.)
711 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
712 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
713 from the external journal's filesystem list.
715 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
716 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
717 given a filesystem size.
719 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
722 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
723 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
725 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
727 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
728 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
729 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
731 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
732 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
733 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
734 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
735 have been created via separate step.
737 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
738 information about an external journal device.
740 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
742 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
743 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
744 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
745 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
746 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
747 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
748 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
749 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
751 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
753 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
754 stdout after printing in-progress message.
755 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
756 the mount status of the device.
758 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
760 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
761 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
762 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
763 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
764 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
766 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
769 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
771 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
773 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
774 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
775 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
777 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
779 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
782 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
783 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
786 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
788 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
789 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
791 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
793 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
794 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
795 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
796 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
798 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
799 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
800 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
802 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
803 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
805 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
807 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
808 struct ext2_super_block.
810 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
811 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
812 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
813 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
814 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
815 using our own version now).
817 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
819 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
820 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
821 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
822 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
823 the parallel_root option.
825 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
828 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
829 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
831 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
832 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
833 support for the journaled data flag.
835 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
837 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
839 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
841 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
842 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
844 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
846 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
849 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
850 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
851 instead of core dumping.
853 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
855 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
856 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
857 journal creation routines for this purpose.
859 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
860 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
862 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
863 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
865 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
867 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
868 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
871 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
872 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
874 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
876 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
878 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
879 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
882 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
883 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
884 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
885 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
888 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
889 group names to uid's before storing them in the
890 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
892 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
894 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
895 option=argument style options, and add support for
896 creating filesystems with external journals.
898 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
900 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
902 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
903 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
905 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
907 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
908 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
911 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
914 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
915 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
918 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
919 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
922 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
924 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
927 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
929 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
930 systems with four IDE interfaces.
932 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
934 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
937 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
938 the inode table location in non-hex format.
940 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
942 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
943 we can't find the device using the name given by
944 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
945 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
947 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
949 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
950 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
951 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
953 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
955 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
957 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
959 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
960 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
962 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
964 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
965 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
967 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
969 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
971 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
973 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
974 are mutually exclusive.
976 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
977 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
978 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
981 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
982 variable before going into the write verification loop.
983 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
984 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
985 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
986 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
987 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
988 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
991 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
992 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
993 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
994 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
997 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
999 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1000 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1001 the progress bar display logic.
1003 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1004 max_mount_count is negative.
1006 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1007 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1010 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1011 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1012 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1013 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1014 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1015 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1017 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1018 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1019 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1021 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1022 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1023 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1026 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1027 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1028 device as a default.
1030 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1032 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1033 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1034 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1035 old, overly complicated logic.
1036 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1037 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1038 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1040 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1042 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1043 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1044 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1045 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1047 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1049 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1050 or LABEL= specification is given.
1052 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1053 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1054 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1055 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1056 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1057 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1059 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1060 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1061 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1062 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1063 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1065 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1067 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1068 support fdatasync().
1070 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1072 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1073 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1074 manually define optarg and optind.
1076 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1079 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1080 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1081 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1082 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1084 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1085 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1087 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1089 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1092 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1094 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1096 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1098 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1099 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1101 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1102 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1103 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1104 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1107 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1108 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1109 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1111 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1113 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1114 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1115 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1116 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1117 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1119 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1120 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1121 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1122 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1123 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1124 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1126 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1128 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1130 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1131 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1132 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1133 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1134 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1136 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1137 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1139 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1141 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1143 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1144 document the -s option.
1146 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1148 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1149 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1150 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1151 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1153 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1154 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1155 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1156 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1157 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1158 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1159 Finally, the original data is written back.
1161 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1162 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1163 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1164 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1165 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1166 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1167 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1168 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1169 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1170 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1171 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1172 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1173 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1174 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1175 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1177 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1178 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1179 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1182 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1183 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1185 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1186 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1187 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1188 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1189 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1190 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1192 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1193 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1194 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1195 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1196 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1197 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1198 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1199 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1202 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1203 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1204 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1205 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1206 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1207 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1208 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1209 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1210 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1211 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1212 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1213 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1214 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1215 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1216 completely reliable.
1218 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1219 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1220 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1221 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1222 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1223 for your information.
1225 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1226 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1227 which I install which will write back whatever original
1228 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1229 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1231 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1232 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1233 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1234 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1235 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1236 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1237 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1238 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1239 should be in the distribution."
1241 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1243 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1244 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1245 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1247 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1249 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1250 option is properly named.
1252 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1254 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1255 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1256 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1258 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1260 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1261 the source directory.
1263 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1265 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1267 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1269 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1270 filesystem option is properly named.
1272 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1274 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1275 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1276 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1278 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1280 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1282 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1284 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1285 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1286 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1288 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1289 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1290 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1291 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1293 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1294 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1295 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1298 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1299 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1300 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1301 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1304 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1305 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1307 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1309 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1311 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1312 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1313 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1315 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1316 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1319 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1321 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1323 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1325 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1326 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1327 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1328 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1330 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1331 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1332 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1333 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1335 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1337 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1338 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1339 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1340 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1341 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1343 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1345 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1346 changing the sparse superblock option
1348 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1349 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1350 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1353 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1355 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1356 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1358 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1360 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1363 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1366 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1367 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1370 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1373 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1375 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1378 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1380 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1382 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1384 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1385 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1386 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1387 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1388 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1389 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1390 the filesystem the system would make.
1392 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1394 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1395 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1396 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1397 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1398 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1400 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1402 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1403 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1404 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1406 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1408 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1409 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1411 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1413 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1414 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1415 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1416 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1417 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1418 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1420 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1421 UUID=bar type specifications.
1423 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1425 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1426 clear out a large block number.
1428 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1430 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1431 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1433 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1435 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1436 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1438 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1440 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1443 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1445 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1446 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1447 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1448 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1450 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1452 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1455 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1457 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1458 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1460 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1462 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1463 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1464 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1465 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1467 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1469 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1470 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1471 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1472 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1473 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1474 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1476 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1478 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1479 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1480 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1481 fsck pass structure.
1482 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1483 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1486 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1488 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
1490 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1495 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1497 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1498 needs to be treated as zero.
1500 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1502 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1503 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1505 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1506 program if the -V option is given.
1508 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1509 through a directory.
1511 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1513 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1514 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1516 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1517 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1519 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1521 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1522 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1524 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1526 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
1528 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1530 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1531 seperated", instead of common separated)
1533 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1535 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1537 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1539 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1540 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1541 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1543 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1545 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1547 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1548 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1549 things look nice on an 80 character display.
1551 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1553 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage

1558 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.12
1560 1998-07-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1562 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
1563 being written by e2fsprogs.
1565 1998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1567 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
1569 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
1570 * tune2fs.c (usage):
1572 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
1573 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
1575 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
1576 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1579 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1581 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
1584 1998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1586 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove check for filesystems with the noauto
1589 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1591 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
1592 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1593 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1594 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1595 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
1597 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1599 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.

1603 1998-03-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1605 * chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may
1606 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
1608 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
1611 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1612 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1615 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1616 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1617 that the label will be truncated.
1619 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1620 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1621 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
1623 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1625 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning

1636 of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or
1639 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
1640 bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the
1643 Mon Dec 1 17:01:04 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1645 * badblocks.8.in: Add documentation for the -s option.
1647 Fri Oct 24 23:37:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1654 * badblocks.c (main):
1655 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1656 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
1657 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
1660 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1662 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
1663 to fix a -Wall warning.
1665 Mon Sep 15 22:07:12 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1668 * mklost+found.c (main):
1670 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1672 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
1673 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
1674 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
1677 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1679 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which
1680 provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem
1683 * Makefile.in (SPROGS): Add Makefile support to build e2label
1685 Tue Jun 17 01:33:20 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1687 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.11
1689 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1691 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
1692 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
1693 80 columns when making a really big disk.
1695 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1697 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
1698 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
1699 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
1701 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
1702 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
1703 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.

1709 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1711 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
1712 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
1713 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1714 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1717 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1718 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1720 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1722 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
1723 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
1726 Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1728 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.09
1730 Fri Apr 11 18:57:24 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1749 * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
1750 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
1752 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
1753 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
1754 sparse superblock flag is set.
1755 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
1756 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
1759 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1761 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
1763 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1765 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and
1766 i_gid to be the real user and group id.
1768 Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1770 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error

1780 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
1781 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
1782 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
1785 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1787 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
1789 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
1791 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1793 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that
1794 they frequently update the block number field.
1796 * badblocks.8.in: Document the optional start-block parameter
1798 Mon Oct 14 11:52:58 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1824 current number of mounts.
1825 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
1826 mostly for debugging.
1828 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1830 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.
1831 (SPROGS): Use @FSCK_PROG@ instead of fsck.

1840 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
1841 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
1843 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1846 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1847 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1848 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1851 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1852 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1853 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1854 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1857 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1859 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1860 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1861 and no version number is specified.
1863 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1865 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
1867 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1869 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
1872 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1874 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1876 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1878 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1879 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1881 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1883 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1885 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1888 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1890 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1891 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1892 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1893 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1894 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1895 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1896 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1897 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1900 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1902 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1904 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1906 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1907 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1910 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1912 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1913 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1914 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1915 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1916 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1918 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1920 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1923 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1925 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1926 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1928 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1930 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1932 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1934 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1935 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1936 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1938 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1940 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1943 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1945 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1946 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1948 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1949 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1950 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1951 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1953 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1955 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1956 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1957 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1960 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1969 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1971 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1973 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1974 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1975 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1978 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1980 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1982 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1983 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1984 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1986 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1988 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1989 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1990 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1991 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1994 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1995 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1996 alloca is not portable!
1998 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1999 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2002 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
2004 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
2006 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
2009 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
2011 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2012 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
2014 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2016 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2017 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
2019 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2021 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2023 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2024 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2026 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2028 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2030 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
2031 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
2032 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
2033 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2035 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
2036 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2037 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2038 statically sized buffer.
2039 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2040 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2042 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2043 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2044 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2045 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2046 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2048 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2049 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2050 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2051 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2054 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2055 support separate compilation directories.
2057 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2059 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2060 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2061 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2062 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2064 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2065 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2066 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2067 very large partition.
2069 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2070 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2071 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2073 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2074 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2075 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2076 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2077 ioctl, which most do.)
2079 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2080 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2081 during 0.5b development.)
2083 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2085 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2086 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2087 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2088 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2091 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2092 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2093 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2095 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2097 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2099 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2100 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2101 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2103 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2105 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2107 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2109 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2111 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2112 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2113 all partitions should be checked.
2115 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2117 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2120 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2123 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2125 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2126 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2128 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2130 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2132 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2134 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2137 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2139 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2141 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2143 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2145 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2147 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2149 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2150 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2151 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2152 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2153 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2155 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2156 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2157 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2158 statistics if necessary.
