13 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
16 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
18 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
19 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
20 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
21 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
23 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>

40 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
42 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
43 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
44 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
45 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
46 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
47 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
49 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
51 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
52 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
53 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
55 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
56 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs

87 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
89 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
90 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
92 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

112 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
113 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
114 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
116 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
118 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
120 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10

162 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
164 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
165 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
166 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
167 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
168 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.

190 that the label will be truncated.
192 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
193 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
194 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

461 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
463 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
464 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
465 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
466 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
467 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
468 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
469 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
470 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this

483 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
485 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
486 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
487 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
488 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
489 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
491 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

508 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
509 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
511 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
513 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in

519 function to determine if the device is mounted.
521 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
522 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
523 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
524 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
526 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
528 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
529 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
530 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
533 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>

553 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
555 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
556 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
557 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
559 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
561 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
562 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
563 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
564 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
567 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
568 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
569 alloca is not portable!
571 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
572 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
575 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
577 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
579 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
582 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
584 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
585 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
587 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
589 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
590 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
592 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
594 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
596 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
597 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
599 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
601 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
603 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
604 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
605 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
606 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
608 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
609 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
610 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
611 statically sized buffer.
612 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
613 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
615 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
616 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
617 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
618 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
619 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
621 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
622 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
623 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
624 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
627 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
628 support separate compilation directories.
630 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
632 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
633 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
634 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
635 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
637 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
638 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
639 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
640 very large partition.
642 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
643 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
644 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
646 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
647 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
648 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
649 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
650 ioctl, which most do.)
652 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
653 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
654 during 0.5b development.)
656 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
658 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
659 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
660 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
661 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
664 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
665 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
666 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
668 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
670 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
672 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
673 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
674 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
676 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
678 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
680 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
682 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
684 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
685 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
686 all partitions should be checked.
688 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
690 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
693 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
696 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
698 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
699 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
701 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
703 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
705 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
707 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
710 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
712 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
714 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
716 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
718 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
720 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
722 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
723 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
724 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
725 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
726 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
728 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
729 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
730 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
731 statistics if necessary.
