1 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
3 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
4 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
6 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
8 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
9 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
10 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
11 for description of new -t semantics.
13 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
14 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
15 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
17 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
18 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
21 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
23 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
24 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
25 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
27 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
30 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
32 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
33 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
35 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
37 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
39 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
40 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
42 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
44 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
45 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
46 value depending on if superblock features are set.
48 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
50 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
52 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
53 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
54 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
56 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
59 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
61 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
63 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
65 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
66 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
68 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
69 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
70 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
72 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
73 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
75 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
77 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
79 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
80 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
81 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
83 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
84 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
87 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
90 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
92 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
93 the base device, we should assume that the device is
94 already active in order to force serialization.
96 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
98 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
99 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
102 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
104 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
105 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
106 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
107 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
109 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
110 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
111 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
113 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
115 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
116 documentation for the extern journal device support.
118 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
121 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
123 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
124 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
126 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
127 number to be treated as a journal size.
129 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
132 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
133 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
134 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
135 entire device to get zero'ed.
137 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
139 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
140 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
143 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
145 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
146 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
147 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
148 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
149 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
150 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
151 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
152 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
153 using the absolute size of the journal.
155 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
157 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
158 Also handle the case where the default journal size
159 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
160 the filesystem will be checked.
162 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
164 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
166 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
168 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
171 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
172 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
175 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
176 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
178 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
180 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
181 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
182 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
183 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
184 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
185 with the rest of the options out there.)
187 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
188 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
189 from the external journal's filesystem list.
191 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
192 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
193 given a filesystem size.
195 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
198 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
199 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
201 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
203 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
204 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
205 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
207 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
208 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
209 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
210 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
211 have been created via separate step.
213 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
214 information about an external journal device.
216 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
218 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
219 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
220 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
221 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
222 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
223 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
224 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
225 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
227 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
229 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
230 stdout after printing in-progress message.
231 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
232 the mount status of the device.
234 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
236 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
237 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
238 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
239 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
240 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
242 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
245 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
247 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
249 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
250 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
251 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
253 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
255 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
258 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
259 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
262 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
264 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
265 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
267 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
269 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
270 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
271 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
272 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
274 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
275 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
276 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
278 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
279 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
281 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
283 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
284 struct ext2_super_block.
286 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
287 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
288 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
289 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
290 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
291 using our own version now).
293 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
295 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
296 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
297 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
298 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
299 the parallel_root option.
301 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
304 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
305 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
307 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
308 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
309 support for the journaled data flag.
311 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
313 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
315 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
317 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
318 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
320 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
322 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
325 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
326 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
327 instead of core dumping.
329 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
331 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
332 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
333 journal creation routines for this purpose.
335 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
336 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
338 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
339 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
341 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
343 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
344 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
347 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
348 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
350 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
352 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
354 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
355 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
358 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
359 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
360 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
361 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
364 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
365 group names to uid's before storing them in the
366 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
368 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
370 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
371 option=argument style options, and add support for
372 creating filesystems with external journals.
374 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
376 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
378 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
379 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
381 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
383 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
384 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
387 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
390 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
391 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
394 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
395 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
398 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
400 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
403 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
405 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
406 systems with four IDE interfaces.
408 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
410 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
413 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
414 the inode table location in non-hex format.
416 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
418 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
419 we can't find the device using the name given by
420 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
421 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
423 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
425 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
426 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
427 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
429 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
431 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
433 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
435 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
436 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
438 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
440 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
441 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
443 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
445 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
447 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
449 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
450 are mutually exclusive.
452 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
453 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
454 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
457 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
458 variable before going into the write verification loop.
459 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
460 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
461 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
462 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
463 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
464 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
467 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
468 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
469 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
470 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
473 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
475 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
476 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
477 the progress bar display logic.
479 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
480 max_mount_count is negative.
482 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
483 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
486 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
487 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
488 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
489 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
490 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
491 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
493 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
494 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
495 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
497 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
498 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
499 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
502 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
503 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
506 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
508 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
509 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
510 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
511 old, overly complicated logic.
512 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
513 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
514 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
516 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
518 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
519 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
520 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
521 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
523 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
525 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
526 or LABEL= specification is given.
528 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
529 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
530 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
531 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
532 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
533 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
535 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
536 proceed_question that was busted due to the
537 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
538 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
539 cleared of the previous question's newline.
541 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
543 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
546 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
548 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
549 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
550 manually define optarg and optind.
552 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
555 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
556 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
557 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
558 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
560 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
561 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
563 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
565 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
568 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
570 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
572 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
574 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
575 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
577 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
578 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
579 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
580 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
583 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
584 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
585 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
587 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
589 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
590 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
591 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
592 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
593 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
595 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
596 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
597 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
598 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
599 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
600 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
602 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
604 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
606 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
607 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
608 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
609 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
610 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
612 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
613 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
615 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
617 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
619 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
620 document the -s option.
622 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
624 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
625 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
626 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
627 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
629 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
630 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
631 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
632 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
633 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
634 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
635 Finally, the original data is written back.
637 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
638 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
639 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
640 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
641 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
642 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
643 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
644 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
645 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
646 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
647 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
648 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
649 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
650 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
651 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
653 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
654 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
655 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
658 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
659 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
661 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
662 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
663 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
664 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
665 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
666 and want the host hard drive to flush.
668 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
669 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
670 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
671 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
672 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
673 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
674 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
675 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
678 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
679 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
680 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
681 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
682 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
683 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
684 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
685 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
686 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
687 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
688 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
689 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
690 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
691 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
694 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
695 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
696 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
697 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
698 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
699 for your information.
701 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
702 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
703 which I install which will write back whatever original
704 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
705 (except SIGKILL, of course).
707 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
708 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
709 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
710 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
711 could learn how to update the manpage and other
712 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
713 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
714 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
715 should be in the distribution."
717 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
719 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
720 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
721 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
723 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
725 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
726 option is properly named.
728 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
730 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
731 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
732 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
734 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
736 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
737 the source directory.
739 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
741 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
743 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
745 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
746 filesystem option is properly named.
748 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
750 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
751 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
752 fsck -As can do so interactively.
754 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
756 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
758 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
760 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
761 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
762 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
764 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
765 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
766 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
767 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
769 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
770 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
771 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
774 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
775 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
776 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
777 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
780 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
781 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
783 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
785 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
787 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
788 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
789 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
791 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
792 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
795 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
797 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
799 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
801 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
802 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
803 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
804 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
806 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
807 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
808 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
809 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
811 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
813 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
814 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
815 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
816 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
817 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
819 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
821 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
822 changing the sparse superblock option
824 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
825 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
826 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
829 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
831 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
832 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
834 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
836 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
839 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
842 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
843 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
846 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
849 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
851 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
854 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
856 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
858 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
860 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
861 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
862 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
863 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
864 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
865 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
866 the filesystem the system would make.
868 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
870 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
871 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
872 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
873 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
874 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
876 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
878 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
879 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
880 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
882 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
884 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
885 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
887 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
889 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
890 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
891 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
892 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
893 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
894 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
896 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
897 UUID=bar type specifications.
899 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
901 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
902 clear out a large block number.
904 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
906 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
907 appears mounted if the force option is given.
909 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
911 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
912 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
914 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
916 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
919 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
921 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
922 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
923 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
924 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
926 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
928 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
931 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
933 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
934 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
936 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
938 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
939 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
940 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
941 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
943 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
945 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
946 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
947 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
948 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
949 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
950 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
952 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
954 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
955 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
956 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
958 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
959 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
962 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
964 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
966 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
968 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
971 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
973 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
974 needs to be treated as zero.
976 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
978 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
979 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
981 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
982 program if the -V option is given.
984 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
987 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
989 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
990 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
992 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
993 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
995 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
997 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
998 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1000 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1002 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
1004 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1006 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1007 seperated", instead of common separated)
1009 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1011 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1013 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1015 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1016 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1017 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1019 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1021 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1023 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1024 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1025 things look nice on an 80 character display.
1027 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1029 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage

1034 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.12
1036 1998-07-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1038 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
1039 being written by e2fsprogs.
1041 1998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1043 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
1045 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
1046 * tune2fs.c (usage):
1048 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
1049 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
1051 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
1052 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1055 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1057 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
1060 1998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1062 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove check for filesystems with the noauto
1065 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1067 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
1068 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1069 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1070 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1071 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
1073 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1075 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.
1077 * e2label.c: Fix -Wall warning by making functions static.
1079 1998-03-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1081 * chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may
1082 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
1084 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
1087 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1088 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1091 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1092 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1093 that the label will be truncated.
1095 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1096 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1097 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
1099 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1101 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning
1102 message. Fixed up -Wall warnings in file.
1104 Sun Mar 8 22:21:48 1998 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1106 * partinfo.c (main): The ioctl BLKGETSIZE requires a long, not an
1109 Sun Feb 1 16:53:36 1998 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1111 * badblocks.8: Update documentation to note that output format
1112 of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or
1115 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
1116 bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the
1119 Mon Dec 1 17:01:04 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1121 * badblocks.8.in: Add documentation for the -s option.
1123 Fri Oct 24 23:37:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1126 * chattr.c: Remove #include of getopt.h, since it's not needed.
1130 * badblocks.c (main):
1131 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1132 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
1133 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
1136 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1138 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
1139 to fix a -Wall warning.
1141 Mon Sep 15 22:07:12 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1144 * mklost+found.c (main):
1146 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1148 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
1149 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
1150 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a

1165 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1167 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
1168 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
1169 80 columns when making a really big disk.
1171 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1173 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
1174 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
1175 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
1177 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
1178 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
1179 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
1181 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>

1185 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1187 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
1188 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
1189 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1190 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1193 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1194 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1196 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1198 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
1199 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
1202 Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1204 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.09
1206 Fri Apr 11 18:57:24 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1225 * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
1226 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
1228 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
1229 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
1230 sparse superblock flag is set.
1231 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
1232 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
1235 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1237 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
1239 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1241 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and
1242 i_gid to be the real user and group id.
1244 Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1246 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error

1256 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
1257 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
1258 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
1261 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1263 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
1265 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
1267 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1269 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that
1270 they frequently update the block number field.
1272 * badblocks.8.in: Document the optional start-block parameter
1274 Mon Oct 14 11:52:58 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1300 current number of mounts.
1301 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
1302 mostly for debugging.
1304 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1306 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.
1307 (SPROGS): Use @FSCK_PROG@ instead of fsck.

1316 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
1317 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
1319 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1322 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1323 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1324 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1327 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1328 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1329 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1330 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1333 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1335 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1336 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1337 and no version number is specified.
1339 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1341 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
1343 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1345 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
1348 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1350 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1352 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1354 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1355 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1357 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1359 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1361 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1364 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1366 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1367 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1368 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1369 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1370 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1371 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1372 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1373 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1376 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1378 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1380 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1382 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1383 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1386 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1388 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1389 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1390 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1391 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1392 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1394 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1396 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1399 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1401 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1402 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1404 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1406 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1408 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1410 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1411 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1412 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1414 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1416 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1419 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1421 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1422 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1424 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1425 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1426 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1427 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1429 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1431 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1432 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1433 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1436 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1445 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1447 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1449 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1450 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1451 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1454 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1456 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1458 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1459 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1460 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1462 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1464 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1465 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1466 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1467 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1470 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1471 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1472 alloca is not portable!
1474 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1475 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1478 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1480 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1482 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1485 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1487 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1488 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1490 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1492 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1493 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1495 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1497 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1499 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1500 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1502 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1504 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1506 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1507 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1508 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1509 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1511 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1512 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1513 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1514 statically sized buffer.
1515 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1516 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1518 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1519 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1520 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1521 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1522 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1524 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1525 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1526 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1527 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1530 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1531 support separate compilation directories.
1533 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1535 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1536 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1537 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1538 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1540 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1541 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1542 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1543 very large partition.
1545 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1546 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1547 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1549 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1550 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1551 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1552 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1553 ioctl, which most do.)
1555 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1556 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1557 during 0.5b development.)
1559 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1561 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1562 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1563 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1564 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1567 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1568 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1569 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1571 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1573 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1575 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1576 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1577 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1579 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1581 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1583 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1585 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1587 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1588 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1589 all partitions should be checked.
1591 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1593 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1596 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1599 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1601 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1602 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1604 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1606 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1608 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1610 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1613 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1615 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1617 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1619 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1621 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1623 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1625 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1626 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1627 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1628 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1629 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1631 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1632 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1633 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1634 statistics if necessary.
