1 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
3 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add warning if using -j and the blocksize is
4 greater than 4096, since some kernels don't support ext3
5 with large block sizes. (Addresses Debian bug #193773)
7 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Remove debugging printf. (Addresses
10 2003-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
12 * fsck.c (wait_many): Rename wait_all() to wait_many(), and have
13 new semantics: WAIT_ALL vs. WAIT_ATLEAST_ONE. This fixes
14 a bug where when fsck is waiting for another partition on
15 the same spindle, it spins wasting a lot of CPU.
17 2003-07-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
19 * badblocks.c (do_read, do_write, test_rw): Change the read/write
20 test to honor the -c option (number of blocks at a time).
21 do_read and do_write will try to turn on the O_DIRECT flag
22 if it appears that it is possible to use it. (Addresses
25 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): If sector_size is 0, don't use it to
26 set the blocksize to zero. This causes MD devices to fail
27 since they don't support the BLKSSZGET ioctl. (Addresses
30 2003-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
32 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main): If CONFIG_TESTIO_DEBUG, then use the
35 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Round down the default filesystem size so that
36 it is an even multiple of the page size, to work around
37 buffer cache kernel bug.
39 * badblocks.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (signed/unsigned type issues)
41 * blkid.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (missing #include <string.h>)
43 2003-05-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
45 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): If the sector size of the
46 device is larger than the default block size, then use the
47 sector size of the device as the default block size.
49 2003-05-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
51 * badblocks.c: Use an unsigned integer to support 4-byte test
52 patterns with the high bit set. Let the user explicitly
53 specify a random pattern with the argument "random".
55 2003-05-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
57 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Fix minor memory leak with test_rw() is
58 called for multiple passes.
59 (test_nd): Fix bug in chosing randomness for the
60 non-destructive test. We were only using 1 bit of
61 randomness per byte instead of 8 due to a bit-shift bug.
62 Also, initialize the random number generator from the time
63 in main(). Thanks to Thayne Harbaugh for pointing out
66 * badblocks.c, badblocks.8.in: Functional enhancements contributed
67 by Thayne Harbaugh. These patches allow the -t option to
68 control the test pattern(s) used when checking the disk.
69 Test patterns may be specified in all modes (r/w, r/o and
72 2003-05-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
74 * tune2fs.c (main, add_journal_device, remove_journal_device): If
75 --enable-testio-debug is set, then use the test_io manager
76 so we can watch what tune2fs is doing.
78 2003-05-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
80 * uuidgen.c (main): Add setup functions for NLS support.
82 * e2image.c (write_header), mke2fs.c (PRS): Add missing space in
85 * badblocks.c (usage), findsuper.c (main), util.c
86 (parse_journal_opts): Fix typo in usage string.
88 * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Add portability code to work around lack
91 * Makefile.in: Add $(LIBINTL) to the link line so we can support
92 using the internal gettext library.
94 * nls-enable.h: Add #ifndef protection around LOCALEDIR definition.
96 2003-04-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
98 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.33
100 2003-04-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
102 * Makefile.in (uuidgen): Avoid linking lsattr and chattr against
103 libext2fs, and avoid linking blkid against any of the ext2
106 2003-04-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
108 * Makefile.in (fsck): Fsck does not need to linked against the
109 ext2 libraries anymore.
111 2003-04-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
113 * fsck.c (main): Put stdout and stderr into non-buffered mode to
114 avoid cosmetic problems when running fsck under logsave.
116 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Avoid printing the version banner for mke2fs if
117 the -q option is specified. (Addresses Debian bug #172716)
119 * logsave.c: Add support for the -a option (only partially
120 implemented previously). Always log the command-line and
121 start and stop time to the log file. Add support for the
122 -s option, which skips text bracketed between control-A
123 and control-B characters.
125 2003-04-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
127 * logsave.c: New program which saves the output of a command in a
128 log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been
129 mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in
130 memory until it can write out the logfile).
132 2003-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
134 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the argument to -b is negative, treat it as a
135 minimum blocksize. (Feature requested by EVMS developers
136 for mainframe DASD's that do not support 1k blocksizes.)
138 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the -g option. (Addresses Debian bug #188318)
140 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug where mke2fs was incorrectly checking
141 the argument to the -g option, if the default block size
142 is used. (Addresses Debian bug #188319)
144 * tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Document the dir_index filesystem
145 feature which can be used with the -O option.
147 2003-04-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
149 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, interpret_type, fsck_device, ignore,
150 main): Don't evaluate the filesystem type when loading the
151 fstab file, since that might cause fsck to hang trying to
152 read from a floppy disk. (Addresses Debian bug #187812)
153 Add tmpfs and devpts to filesystems that should be
154 ignored, and add jfs, reseirfs, and xfs as filesystems
155 types where we should complain if we can't find the fsck
156 program for that filesystem type.
158 2003-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
160 * badblocks.c (bb_output): Flush output to the badblocks
161 output file as bad blocks are discovered.
163 2003-03-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
165 * chattr.1.in: Clarified the description of the 't' (no tail)
166 attribute. (Addresses Debian bug #185945)
168 2003-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
170 * fsck.c: And #ifdef protection around #include of malloc.h
172 2003-03-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
174 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Include blocks from slow
175 symbolic links in the raw image file.
177 2003-03-06 <tytso@mit.edu>
179 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, parse_e2label_options): Allow
180 the device name to be specified using LABEL=xxx or
181 UUID=xxx, since we're including the blkid library anyway.
182 (Addresses Debian bugs #166048, #179671)
184 * tune2fs.8.in, chattr.1.in: Minor man page fixes (Addresses
185 Debian bugs #175233, #175113, and #170497)
187 2003-03-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
189 * Makefile.in (DEPLIBS_BLKID): Use DEPLIBUUID, not LIBUUID to
190 avoid depending on -lsocket on Solaris.
192 2003-03-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
194 * fsck.c, util.c, tune2fs.c, Makefile.in: Use the blkid library
195 instead of the specialized functions in
196 get-device-by-label.c and fstype.c.
198 * base_device.c (base_device): Take a const char* as an argument.
200 * blkid.c: Remove deprecated -d option,
202 2003-02-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
204 * blkid.c: Update to reflect renaming of blkid_get_devname() to
205 blkid_get_dev(), and blkid_get_token() to

210 * badblocks.8.in: Fix grammar nit.
212 2003-01-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
214 * blkid.c (main): Modify blkid to use the new libblkid public
217 2003-01-23 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
219 * Makefile.in: Integrate in new blkid library.

223 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, parse_escape): Add support for
224 backslash escaping in /etc/fstab. (i.e., so that \040
227 2002-11-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
229 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default;
230 the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not
231 the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards
232 compatibility support for dir_indexing removed.
234 2002-11-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
236 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.32
238 2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
240 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.31
242 2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

248 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.30
250 2002-11-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
252 * chattr.c, chattr.1.in: Add support for a new inode flag, which
253 is to be used for indicating the top of directory
254 hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator.
256 2002-10-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
258 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Pay attention to
259 partitions returned in /proc/partitions that begin with
260 with the string "lvm".
262 2002-10-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
264 * Makefile.in (install): Search all compression extensions when
265 deleting old man pages.

272 erreoneously (and needlessly).
274 2002-10-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
276 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
277 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
278 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
279 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
282 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
284 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
285 if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
286 will still print out the contents of the block group
289 2002-10-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>

295 2002-10-15 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
297 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (update_mntopts, main): Add new option
298 'o' which allows the system administrator to specify
299 default mount options.
301 2002-10-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
303 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Use a 16k buffer to
304 read in /proc/partitions in one go.
306 * badblocks.c, fsck.c, fstype.c, get_device_by_label.c,
307 tune2fs.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
309 2002-10-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

312 created with 0700 permissions.
314 2002-10-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
316 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Handle a bad block in the
317 inode table correctly.
319 2002-09-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
321 * get_device_by_label.c: Applied sourceforge patch #613447, which
322 adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
325 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
326 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows
327 badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
328 CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.
330 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
332 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
333 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
334 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
335 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
337 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
339 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
341 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
343 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
344 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
345 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
346 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
347 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
349 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
351 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
353 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to
354 be set. If so, set the default hash to be TEA, and
355 initialize the hash seed to a random value.
357 2002-09-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
359 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Fix bug which caused

367 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
369 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
371 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
372 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
373 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
375 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
376 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
377 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
378 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
381 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
384 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
385 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
387 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive
388 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
391 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
392 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
393 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)
395 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page, and clarified text regarding
396 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
399 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
400 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
403 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
405 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
406 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
408 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
410 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
412 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
413 child fsck processes.
415 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
417 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
418 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
419 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
421 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
423 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
424 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
425 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
427 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
429 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)

438 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
440 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
442 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
443 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
445 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
447 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
448 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
449 is larger than the system's page size according to the
450 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
451 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
452 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
455 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
457 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
459 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
461 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
463 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
465 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
466 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
468 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
470 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
471 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
473 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
475 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
476 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
478 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
480 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
481 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
482 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
483 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
484 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
486 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
488 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
491 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
493 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
494 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
495 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
496 installing the man pages.
498 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
500 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
502 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
504 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
505 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
508 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
511 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
513 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26
515 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
517 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
520 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
521 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
522 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
524 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
526 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
527 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
528 envrionment variable.
530 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
532 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>

536 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
538 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
539 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
542 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
544 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
545 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
546 the last checked time on the filesystem.
548 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
550 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
551 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
554 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
555 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
556 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
558 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
559 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
561 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
562 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
563 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
564 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
565 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
567 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
569 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
570 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
571 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
572 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
573 include search path.)
575 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
577 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
578 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
579 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
582 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
584 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
585 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
586 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
588 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
590 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
591 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
592 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
593 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
594 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
596 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
597 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
599 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
602 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
604 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
605 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
606 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
608 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
610 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
613 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
615 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
616 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
618 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
620 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
623 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
625 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
626 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
627 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
628 into a real device name.
630 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
632 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
633 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
634 calls are a good thing. <g>
636 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
638 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
640 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
642 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
644 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
646 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
648 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
651 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
652 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
654 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
656 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
659 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
661 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
663 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
665 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.
667 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
669 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
671 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
673 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
675 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
676 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
677 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
679 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
681 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
682 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
683 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
684 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
685 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
686 small device (less than 64 blocks).
688 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
690 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
693 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
694 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
695 display, since it only confuses people.
697 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
699 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
702 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
703 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
704 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
706 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
708 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
709 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
710 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
711 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
713 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
714 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
715 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
716 in the ext2 superblock.
718 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
719 malloc'd in interpret spec.
721 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
723 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
725 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
727 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
728 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
731 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
733 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
734 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
735 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
736 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
738 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
739 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
740 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
742 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
743 specified more than once.
745 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
747 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
748 text that erroneously implied that all features
749 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
752 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
754 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
755 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
756 should not be present.
758 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
760 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
762 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
763 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
765 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
767 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
768 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
769 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
770 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
772 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
774 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
775 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
777 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
779 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
780 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
781 blocksize of the new filesystem.
783 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
785 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
786 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
789 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
791 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
792 of the filesystem to determines its type.
794 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
795 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
797 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
799 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
801 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

805 2001-06-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
807 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
810 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
812 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
813 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
814 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
815 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
816 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
818 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
819 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
822 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
823 specified to configure.
825 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
827 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
828 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
830 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
831 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
834 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
835 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
836 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
838 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
840 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
841 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
842 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
844 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
846 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
847 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.
849 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
851 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
853 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
855 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
857 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
859 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
860 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
861 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
863 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
864 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
866 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
868 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
869 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
870 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
871 for description of new -t semantics.
873 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
874 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
875 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
877 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
878 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
881 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
883 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
884 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
885 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
887 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
890 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
892 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
893 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
895 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
897 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
899 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
900 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
902 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
904 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
905 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
906 value depending on if superblock features are set.
908 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
910 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
912 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
913 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
914 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
916 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
919 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
921 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
923 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
925 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
926 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
928 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
929 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
930 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
932 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
933 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
935 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
937 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
939 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
940 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
941 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
943 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
944 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
947 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
950 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
952 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
953 the base device, we should assume that the device is
954 already active in order to force serialization.
956 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
958 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
959 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
962 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
964 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
965 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
966 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
967 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
969 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
970 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
971 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
973 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
975 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
976 documentation for the extern journal device support.
978 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
981 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
983 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
984 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
986 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
987 number to be treated as a journal size.
989 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
992 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
993 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
994 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
995 entire device to get zero'ed.
997 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
999 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
1000 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
1003 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
1005 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
1006 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
1007 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
1008 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
1009 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
1010 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
1011 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
1012 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
1013 using the absolute size of the journal.
1015 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1017 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
1018 Also handle the case where the default journal size
1019 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
1020 the filesystem will be checked.
1022 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1024 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
1026 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1028 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
1031 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
1032 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
1035 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
1036 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
1038 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1040 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
1041 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
1042 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
1043 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
1044 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
1045 with the rest of the options out there.)
1047 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
1048 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
1049 from the external journal's filesystem list.
1051 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
1052 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
1053 given a filesystem size.
1055 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
1058 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
1059 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
1061 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1063 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
1064 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
1065 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
1067 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
1068 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
1069 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
1070 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
1071 have been created via separate step.
1073 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
1074 information about an external journal device.
1076 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1078 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
1079 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
1080 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
1081 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
1082 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
1083 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
1084 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
1085 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
1087 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
1089 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
1090 stdout after printing in-progress message.
1091 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
1092 the mount status of the device.
1094 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1096 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
1097 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
1098 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
1099 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
1100 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
1102 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
1105 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
1107 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1109 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
1110 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
1111 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
1113 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1115 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
1118 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
1119 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
1122 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
1124 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
1125 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
1127 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1129 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
1130 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
1131 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
1132 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
1134 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
1135 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
1136 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
1138 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
1139 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
1141 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1143 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
1144 struct ext2_super_block.
1146 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
1147 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
1148 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
1149 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
1150 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
1151 using our own version now).
1153 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1155 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
1156 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
1157 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
1158 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
1159 the parallel_root option.
1161 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
1162 the file attributes.
1164 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
1165 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
1167 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
1168 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
1169 support for the journaled data flag.
1171 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
1173 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1175 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
1177 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
1178 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
1180 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1182 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
1185 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
1186 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
1187 instead of core dumping.
1189 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1191 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
1192 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
1193 journal creation routines for this purpose.
1195 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
1196 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
1198 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
1199 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
1201 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1203 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
1204 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
1207 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
1208 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
1210 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
1212 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1214 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
1215 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
1218 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
1219 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
1220 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
1221 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
1224 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
1225 group names to uid's before storing them in the
1226 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
1228 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1230 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
1231 option=argument style options, and add support for
1232 creating filesystems with external journals.
1234 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
1236 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1238 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
1239 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
1241 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1243 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
1244 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
1247 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
1250 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
1251 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
1254 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
1255 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
1258 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1260 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
1263 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
1265 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
1266 systems with four IDE interfaces.
1268 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
1270 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1273 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1274 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1276 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1278 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1279 we can't find the device using the name given by
1280 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1281 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1283 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1285 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1286 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1287 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1289 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1291 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1293 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1295 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1296 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1298 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1300 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1301 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1303 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1305 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1307 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1309 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1310 are mutually exclusive.
1312 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1313 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1314 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1317 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1318 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1319 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1320 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1321 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1322 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1323 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1324 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1327 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1328 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1329 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1330 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1333 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1335 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1336 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1337 the progress bar display logic.
1339 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1340 max_mount_count is negative.
1342 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1343 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1346 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1347 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1348 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1349 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1350 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1351 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1353 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1354 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1355 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1357 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1358 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1359 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1362 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1363 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1364 device as a default.
1366 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1368 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1369 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1370 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1371 old, overly complicated logic.
1372 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1373 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1374 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1376 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1378 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1379 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1380 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1381 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1383 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1385 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1386 or LABEL= specification is given.
1388 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1389 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1390 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1391 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1392 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1393 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1395 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1396 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1397 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1398 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1399 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1401 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1403 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1404 support fdatasync().
1406 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1408 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1409 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1410 manually define optarg and optind.
1412 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1415 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1416 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1417 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1418 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1420 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1421 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1423 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1425 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1428 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1430 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1432 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1434 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1435 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1437 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1438 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1439 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1440 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1443 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1444 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1445 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1447 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1449 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1450 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1451 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1452 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1453 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1455 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1456 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1457 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1458 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1459 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1460 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1462 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1464 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1466 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1467 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1468 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1469 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1470 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1472 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1473 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1475 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1477 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1479 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1480 document the -s option.
1482 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1484 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1485 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1486 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1487 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1489 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1490 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1491 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1492 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1493 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1494 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1495 Finally, the original data is written back.
1497 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1498 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1499 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1500 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1501 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1502 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1503 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1504 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1505 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1506 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1507 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1508 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1509 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1510 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1511 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1513 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1514 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1515 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1518 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1519 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1521 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1522 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1523 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1524 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1525 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1526 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1528 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1529 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1530 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1531 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1532 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1533 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1534 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1535 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1538 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1539 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1540 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1541 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1542 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1543 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1544 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1545 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1546 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1547 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1548 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1549 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1550 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1551 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1552 completely reliable.
1554 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1555 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1556 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1557 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1558 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1559 for your information.
1561 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1562 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1563 which I install which will write back whatever original
1564 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1565 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1567 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1568 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1569 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1570 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1571 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1572 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1573 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1574 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1575 should be in the distribution."
1577 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1579 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1580 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1581 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1583 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1585 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1586 option is properly named.
1588 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1590 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1591 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1592 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1594 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1596 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1597 the source directory.
1599 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1601 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1603 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1605 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1606 filesystem option is properly named.
1608 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1610 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1611 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1612 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1614 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1616 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1618 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1620 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1621 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1622 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1624 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1625 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1626 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1627 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1629 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1630 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1631 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1634 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1635 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1636 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1637 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1640 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1641 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1643 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1645 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1647 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1648 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1649 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1651 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1652 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1655 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1657 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1659 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1661 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1662 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1663 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1664 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1666 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1667 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1668 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1669 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1671 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1673 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1674 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1675 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1676 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1677 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1679 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1681 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1682 changing the sparse superblock option
1684 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1685 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1686 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1689 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1691 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1692 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1694 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1696 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1699 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1702 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1703 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1706 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1709 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1711 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1714 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1716 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1718 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1720 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1721 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1722 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1723 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1724 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1725 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1726 the filesystem the system would make.
1728 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1730 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1731 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1732 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1733 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1734 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1736 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1738 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1739 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1740 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1742 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1744 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1745 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1747 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1749 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1750 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1751 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1752 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1753 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1754 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1756 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1757 UUID=bar type specifications.
1759 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1761 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1762 clear out a large block number.
1764 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1766 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1767 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1769 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1771 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1772 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1774 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1776 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1779 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1781 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1782 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1783 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1784 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1786 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1788 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1791 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1793 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1794 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1796 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1798 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1799 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1800 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1801 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1803 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1805 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1806 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1807 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1808 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1809 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1810 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1812 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1814 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1815 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1816 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1817 fsck pass structure.
1818 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1819 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1822 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1824 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
1826 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1831 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1833 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1834 needs to be treated as zero.
1836 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1838 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1839 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1841 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1842 program if the -V option is given.
1844 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1845 through a directory.
1847 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1849 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1850 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1852 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1853 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1855 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1857 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1858 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1860 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1862 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
1864 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1866 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1867 seperated", instead of common separated)
1869 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1871 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1873 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1875 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1876 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1877 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1879 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1881 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1883 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1884 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1885 things look nice on an 80 character display.
1887 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1908 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
1909 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
1911 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
1912 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1915 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1917 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number

1928 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1929 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1930 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1931 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.

1942 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
1944 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
1947 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1948 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1951 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1952 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1953 that the label will be truncated.
1955 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1956 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1957 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

2047 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
2048 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
2049 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
2050 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
2053 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
2054 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
2056 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
2058 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
2059 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
2062 Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2179 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2182 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
2183 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
2184 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
2187 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
2188 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
2189 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets

2226 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
2227 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
2228 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
2229 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
2230 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
2231 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
2232 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
2233 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
2236 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2238 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
2240 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2242 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
2243 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
2246 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2248 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
2249 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
2250 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
2251 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
2252 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
2254 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2256 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
2259 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2261 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
2262 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
2264 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2266 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
2268 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2270 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
2271 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
2272 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
2274 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2276 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
2279 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2281 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
2282 function to determine if the device is mounted.
2284 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
2285 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
2286 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
2287 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
2289 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2291 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
2292 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
2293 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
2296 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2305 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
2307 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2309 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
2310 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
2311 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
2314 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
2316 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2318 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2319 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
2320 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
2322 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2324 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2325 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2326 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2327 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2330 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2331 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
2332 alloca is not portable!
2334 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
2335 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2338 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
2340 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
2342 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
2345 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
2347 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2348 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
2350 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2352 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2353 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
2355 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2357 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2359 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2360 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2362 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2364 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2366 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
2367 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
2368 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
2369 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2371 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
2372 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2373 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2374 statically sized buffer.
2375 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2376 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2378 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2379 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2380 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2381 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2382 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2384 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2385 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2386 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2387 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2390 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2391 support separate compilation directories.
2393 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2395 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2396 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2397 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2398 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2400 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2401 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2402 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2403 very large partition.
2405 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2406 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2407 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2409 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2410 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2411 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2412 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2413 ioctl, which most do.)
2415 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2416 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2417 during 0.5b development.)
2419 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2421 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2422 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2423 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2424 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2427 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2428 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2429 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2431 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2433 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2435 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2436 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2437 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2439 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2441 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2443 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2445 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2447 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2448 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2449 all partitions should be checked.
2451 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2453 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2456 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2459 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2461 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2462 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2464 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2466 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2468 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2470 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2473 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2475 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2477 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2479 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2481 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2483 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2485 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2486 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2487 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2488 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2489 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2491 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2492 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2493 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2494 statistics if necessary.
