1 2003-11-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
3 * util.c (check_plausibility): Support 2.6 kernel header files,
4 instead of having the build to crash. (Addresses Debian
7 2003-09-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
9 * mke2fs.c (progress_init, progress_update): If the environment
10 variable MKE2FS_SKIP_PROGRESS is set, then don't print out
11 a progress bar; for regression test support.
12 (PRS): If the environment variable MKE2FS_DEVICE_SECTSIZE
13 is set, then override the device sector size. Again for
14 regression test support.
15 (main): If the environment variable MKE2FS_SKIP_CHECK_MSG
16 is set, then skip printing an information messages about
17 when the filesystem will be checked, since this number is
18 random and screws up the regression test expect script.
20 2003-08-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
22 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): Fix bug which caused -T largefile or
23 -T largefile4 to core dump due to a division by zero
24 error. (Addressed Debian bug #207082)
26 2003-08-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
28 * dumpe2fs.8.in, e2image.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
29 tune2fs.8.in: Adjust description line so that apropos
30 "ext2" or "ext3" will find the man page. (Addresses
33 2003-08-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
35 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Add check to make sure the file
36 offset of the device is page aligned. (Addresses Debian
39 * badblocks.c (test_ro, test_rw): Add code to recover after an
40 error so that we continue reading on page-aligned
41 boundaries. (Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for
44 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
46 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.34
48 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
50 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add warning if using -j and the blocksize is
51 greater than 4096, since some kernels don't support ext3
52 with large block sizes. (Addresses Debian bug #193773)
54 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Remove debugging printf. (Addresses
57 2003-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
59 * fsck.c (wait_many): Rename wait_all() to wait_many(), and have
60 new semantics: WAIT_ALL vs. WAIT_ATLEAST_ONE. This fixes
61 a bug where when fsck is waiting for another partition on
62 the same spindle, it spins wasting a lot of CPU.
64 2003-07-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
66 * badblocks.c (do_read, do_write, test_rw): Change the read/write
67 test to honor the -c option (number of blocks at a time).
68 do_read and do_write will try to turn on the O_DIRECT flag
69 if it appears that it is possible to use it. (Addresses
72 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): If sector_size is 0, don't use it to
73 set the blocksize to zero. This causes MD devices to fail
74 since they don't support the BLKSSZGET ioctl. (Addresses
77 2003-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
79 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main): If CONFIG_TESTIO_DEBUG, then use the
82 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Round down the default filesystem size so that
83 it is an even multiple of the page size, to work around
84 buffer cache kernel bug.
86 * badblocks.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (signed/unsigned type issues)
88 * blkid.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (missing #include <string.h>)
90 2003-05-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
92 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): If the sector size of the
93 device is larger than the default block size, then use the
94 sector size of the device as the default block size.
96 2003-05-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
98 * badblocks.c: Use an unsigned integer to support 4-byte test
99 patterns with the high bit set. Let the user explicitly
100 specify a random pattern with the argument "random".
102 2003-05-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
104 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Fix minor memory leak with test_rw() is
105 called for multiple passes.
106 (test_nd): Fix bug in chosing randomness for the
107 non-destructive test. We were only using 1 bit of
108 randomness per byte instead of 8 due to a bit-shift bug.
109 Also, initialize the random number generator from the time
110 in main(). Thanks to Thayne Harbaugh for pointing out
113 * badblocks.c, badblocks.8.in: Functional enhancements contributed
114 by Thayne Harbaugh. These patches allow the -t option to
115 control the test pattern(s) used when checking the disk.
116 Test patterns may be specified in all modes (r/w, r/o and
119 2003-05-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
121 * tune2fs.c (main, add_journal_device, remove_journal_device): If
122 --enable-testio-debug is set, then use the test_io manager
123 so we can watch what tune2fs is doing.
125 2003-05-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
127 * uuidgen.c (main): Add setup functions for NLS support.
129 * e2image.c (write_header), mke2fs.c (PRS): Add missing space in
132 * badblocks.c (usage), findsuper.c (main), util.c
133 (parse_journal_opts): Fix typo in usage string.
135 * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Add portability code to work around lack
138 * Makefile.in: Add $(LIBINTL) to the link line so we can support
139 using the internal gettext library.
141 * nls-enable.h: Add #ifndef protection around LOCALEDIR definition.
143 2003-04-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
145 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.33
147 2003-04-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
149 * Makefile.in (uuidgen): Avoid linking lsattr and chattr against
150 libext2fs, and avoid linking blkid against any of the ext2
153 2003-04-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
155 * Makefile.in (fsck): Fsck does not need to linked against the
156 ext2 libraries anymore.
158 2003-04-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
160 * fsck.c (main): Put stdout and stderr into non-buffered mode to
161 avoid cosmetic problems when running fsck under logsave.
163 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Avoid printing the version banner for mke2fs if
164 the -q option is specified. (Addresses Debian bug #172716)
166 * logsave.c: Add support for the -a option (only partially
167 implemented previously). Always log the command-line and
168 start and stop time to the log file. Add support for the
169 -s option, which skips text bracketed between control-A
170 and control-B characters.
172 2003-04-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
174 * logsave.c: New program which saves the output of a command in a
175 log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been
176 mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in
177 memory until it can write out the logfile).
179 2003-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
181 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the argument to -b is negative, treat it as a
182 minimum blocksize. (Feature requested by EVMS developers
183 for mainframe DASD's that do not support 1k blocksizes.)
185 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the -g option. (Addresses Debian bug #188318)
187 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug where mke2fs was incorrectly checking
188 the argument to the -g option, if the default block size
189 is used. (Addresses Debian bug #188319)
191 * tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Document the dir_index filesystem
192 feature which can be used with the -O option.
194 2003-04-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
196 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, interpret_type, fsck_device, ignore,
197 main): Don't evaluate the filesystem type when loading the
198 fstab file, since that might cause fsck to hang trying to
199 read from a floppy disk. (Addresses Debian bug #187812)
200 Add tmpfs and devpts to filesystems that should be
201 ignored, and add jfs, reseirfs, and xfs as filesystems
202 types where we should complain if we can't find the fsck
203 program for that filesystem type.
205 2003-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
207 * badblocks.c (bb_output): Flush output to the badblocks
208 output file as bad blocks are discovered.
210 2003-03-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
212 * chattr.1.in: Clarified the description of the 't' (no tail)
213 attribute. (Addresses Debian bug #185945)

222 symbolic links in the raw image file.
224 2003-03-06 <tytso@mit.edu>
226 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, parse_e2label_options): Allow
227 the device name to be specified using LABEL=xxx or
228 UUID=xxx, since we're including the blkid library anyway.
229 (Addresses Debian bugs #166048, #179671)
231 * tune2fs.8.in, chattr.1.in: Minor man page fixes (Addresses
232 Debian bugs #175233, #175113, and #170497)
234 2003-03-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
236 * Makefile.in (DEPLIBS_BLKID): Use DEPLIBUUID, not LIBUUID to
237 avoid depending on -lsocket on Solaris.
239 2003-03-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
241 * fsck.c, util.c, tune2fs.c, Makefile.in: Use the blkid library
242 instead of the specialized functions in
243 get-device-by-label.c and fstype.c.
245 * base_device.c (base_device): Take a const char* as an argument.
247 * blkid.c: Remove deprecated -d option,

274 2002-11-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
276 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default;
277 the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not
278 the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards
279 compatibility support for dir_indexing removed.
281 2002-11-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
283 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.32
285 2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

301 hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator.
303 2002-10-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
305 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Pay attention to

319 erreoneously (and needlessly).
321 2002-10-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
323 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
324 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
325 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
326 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
329 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
331 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
332 if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
333 will still print out the contents of the block group

369 adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
372 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
373 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows

375 CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.
377 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
379 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
380 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
381 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
382 confusion about what ^has_journal means.

386 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
388 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
390 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
391 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
392 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
393 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
394 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
396 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
398 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
400 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to

416 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
418 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
419 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
420 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
422 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
423 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
424 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
425 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
428 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
431 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
432 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)

460 child fsck processes.
462 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
464 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
465 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
466 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
468 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
470 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
471 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this

485 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
487 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
489 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
490 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
492 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
494 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
495 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
496 is larger than the system's page size according to the
497 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
498 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
499 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't

583 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
585 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
586 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
589 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
591 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
592 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
593 the last checked time on the filesystem.
595 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
597 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
598 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
601 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
602 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
603 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
605 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
606 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
608 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
609 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
610 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
611 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
612 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
614 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
616 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
617 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
618 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
619 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
620 include search path.)
622 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
624 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
625 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
626 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
629 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
631 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
632 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
633 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
635 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
637 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
638 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
639 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
640 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
641 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
643 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
644 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
646 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
649 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
651 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
652 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
653 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
655 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
657 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
660 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
662 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
663 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
665 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
667 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
670 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
672 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
673 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
674 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
675 into a real device name.
677 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
679 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
680 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
681 calls are a good thing. <g>
683 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
685 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
687 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
689 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
691 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
693 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
695 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
698 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
699 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
701 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
703 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
706 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
708 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
710 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
712 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.
714 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
716 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
718 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
720 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
722 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
723 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
724 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
726 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
728 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
729 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
730 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
731 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
732 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
733 small device (less than 64 blocks).
735 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
737 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
740 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
741 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
742 display, since it only confuses people.
744 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
746 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
749 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
750 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
751 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
753 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
755 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
756 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
757 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
758 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
760 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
761 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
762 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
763 in the ext2 superblock.
765 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
766 malloc'd in interpret spec.
768 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
770 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
772 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
774 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
775 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
778 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
780 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
781 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
782 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
783 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
785 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
786 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
787 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
789 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
790 specified more than once.
792 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
794 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
795 text that erroneously implied that all features
796 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
799 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
801 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
802 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
803 should not be present.
805 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
807 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
809 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
810 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
812 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
814 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
815 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
816 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
817 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
819 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
821 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
822 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
824 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
826 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
827 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
828 blocksize of the new filesystem.
830 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
832 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
833 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
836 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
838 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
839 of the filesystem to determines its type.
841 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
842 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
844 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
846 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
848 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
850 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.21
852 2001-06-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
854 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
857 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
859 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
860 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
861 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
862 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
863 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
865 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
866 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
869 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
870 specified to configure.
872 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
874 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
875 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
877 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
878 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
881 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
882 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
883 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
885 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
887 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
888 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
889 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
891 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
893 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
894 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.
896 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
898 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
900 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
902 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
904 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
906 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
907 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
908 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
910 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
911 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
913 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
915 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
916 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
917 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
918 for description of new -t semantics.
920 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
921 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
922 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
924 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
925 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
928 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
930 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
931 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
932 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
934 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
937 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
939 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
940 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
942 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
944 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
946 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
947 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
949 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
951 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
952 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
953 value depending on if superblock features are set.
955 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
957 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
959 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
960 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
961 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
963 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
966 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
968 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
970 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
972 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
973 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
975 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
976 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
977 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
979 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
980 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
982 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
984 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
986 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
987 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
988 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
990 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
991 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
994 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
997 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
999 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
1000 the base device, we should assume that the device is
1001 already active in order to force serialization.
1003 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1005 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
1006 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
1007 more sense to users.
1009 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1011 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
1012 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
1013 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
1014 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
1015 from journal device.
1016 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
1017 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
1018 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
1020 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1022 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
1023 documentation for the extern journal device support.
1025 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
1028 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1030 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
1031 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
1033 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
1034 number to be treated as a journal size.
1036 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
1039 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
1040 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
1041 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
1042 entire device to get zero'ed.
1044 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1046 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
1047 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
1050 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
1052 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
1053 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
1054 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
1055 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
1056 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
1057 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
1058 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
1059 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
1060 using the absolute size of the journal.
1062 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1064 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
1065 Also handle the case where the default journal size
1066 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
1067 the filesystem will be checked.
1069 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1071 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
1073 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1075 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
1078 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
1079 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
1082 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
1083 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
1085 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1087 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
1088 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
1089 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
1090 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
1091 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
1092 with the rest of the options out there.)
1094 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
1095 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
1096 from the external journal's filesystem list.
1098 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
1099 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
1100 given a filesystem size.
1102 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
1105 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
1106 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
1108 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1110 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
1111 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
1112 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
1114 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
1115 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
1116 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
1117 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
1118 have been created via separate step.
1120 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
1121 information about an external journal device.
1123 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1125 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
1126 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
1127 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
1128 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
1129 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
1130 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
1131 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
1132 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
1134 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
1136 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
1137 stdout after printing in-progress message.
1138 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
1139 the mount status of the device.
1141 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1143 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
1144 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
1145 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
1146 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
1147 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
1149 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
1152 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
1154 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1156 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
1157 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
1158 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
1160 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1162 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
1165 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
1166 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
1169 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
1171 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
1172 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
1174 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1176 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
1177 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
1178 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
1179 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
1181 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
1182 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
1183 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
1185 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
1186 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
1188 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1190 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
1191 struct ext2_super_block.
1193 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
1194 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
1195 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
1196 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
1197 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
1198 using our own version now).
1200 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1202 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
1203 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
1204 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
1205 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
1206 the parallel_root option.
1208 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
1209 the file attributes.
1211 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
1212 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
1214 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
1215 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
1216 support for the journaled data flag.
1218 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
1220 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1222 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
1224 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
1225 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
1227 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1229 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
1232 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
1233 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
1234 instead of core dumping.
1236 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1238 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
1239 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
1240 journal creation routines for this purpose.
1242 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
1243 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
1245 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
1246 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
1248 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1250 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
1251 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
1254 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
1255 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
1257 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
1259 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1261 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
1262 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
1265 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
1266 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
1267 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
1268 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
1271 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
1272 group names to uid's before storing them in the
1273 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
1275 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1277 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
1278 option=argument style options, and add support for
1279 creating filesystems with external journals.
1281 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
1283 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1285 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
1286 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
1288 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1290 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
1291 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
1294 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
1297 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
1298 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
1301 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
1302 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
1305 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1307 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
1310 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
1312 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
1313 systems with four IDE interfaces.
1315 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
1317 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1320 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1321 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1323 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1325 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1326 we can't find the device using the name given by
1327 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1328 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1330 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1332 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1333 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1334 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1336 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1338 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1340 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1342 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1343 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1345 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1347 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1348 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1350 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1352 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1354 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1356 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1357 are mutually exclusive.
1359 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1360 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1361 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1364 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1365 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1366 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1367 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1368 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1369 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1370 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1371 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1374 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1375 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1376 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1377 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1380 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1382 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1383 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1384 the progress bar display logic.
1386 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1387 max_mount_count is negative.
1389 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1390 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1393 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1394 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1395 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1396 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1397 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1398 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1400 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1401 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1402 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1404 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1405 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1406 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1409 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1410 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1411 device as a default.
1413 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1415 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1416 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1417 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1418 old, overly complicated logic.
1419 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1420 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1421 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1423 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1425 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1426 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1427 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1428 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1430 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1432 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1433 or LABEL= specification is given.
1435 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1436 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1437 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1438 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1439 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1440 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1442 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1443 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1444 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1445 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1446 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1448 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1450 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1451 support fdatasync().
1453 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1455 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1456 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1457 manually define optarg and optind.
1459 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1462 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1463 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1464 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1465 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1467 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1468 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1470 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1472 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1475 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1477 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1479 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1481 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1482 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1484 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1485 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1486 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1487 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1490 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1491 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1492 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1494 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1496 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1497 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1498 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1499 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1500 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1502 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1503 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1504 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1505 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1506 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1507 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1509 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1511 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1513 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1514 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1515 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1516 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1517 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1519 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1520 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1522 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1524 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1526 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1527 document the -s option.
1529 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1531 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1532 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1533 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1534 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1536 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1537 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1538 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1539 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1540 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1541 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1542 Finally, the original data is written back.
1544 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1545 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1546 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1547 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1548 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1549 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1550 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1551 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1552 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1553 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1554 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1555 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1556 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1557 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1558 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1560 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1561 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1562 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1565 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1566 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1568 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1569 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1570 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1571 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1572 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1573 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1575 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1576 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1577 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1578 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1579 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1580 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1581 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1582 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1585 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1586 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1587 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1588 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1589 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1590 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1591 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1592 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1593 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1594 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1595 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1596 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1597 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1598 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1599 completely reliable.
1601 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1602 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1603 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1604 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1605 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1606 for your information.
1608 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1609 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1610 which I install which will write back whatever original
1611 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1612 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1614 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1615 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1616 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1617 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1618 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1619 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1620 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1621 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1622 should be in the distribution."
1624 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1626 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1627 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1628 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1630 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1632 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1633 option is properly named.
1635 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1637 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1638 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1639 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1641 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1643 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1644 the source directory.
1646 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1648 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1650 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1652 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1653 filesystem option is properly named.
1655 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1657 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1658 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1659 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1661 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1663 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1665 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1667 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1668 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1669 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1671 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1672 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1673 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1674 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1676 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1677 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1678 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1681 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1682 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1683 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1684 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1687 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1688 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1690 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1692 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1694 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1695 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1696 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1698 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1699 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1702 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1704 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1706 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1708 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1709 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1710 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1711 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1713 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1714 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1715 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1716 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1718 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1720 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1721 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1722 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1723 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1724 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1726 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1728 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1729 changing the sparse superblock option
1731 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1732 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1733 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1736 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1738 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1739 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1741 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1743 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1746 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1749 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1750 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1753 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1756 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1758 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1761 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1763 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1765 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1767 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1768 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1769 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1770 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1771 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1772 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1773 the filesystem the system would make.
1775 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1777 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1778 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1779 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1780 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1781 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1783 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1785 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1786 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1787 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1789 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1791 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1792 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1794 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1796 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1797 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1798 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1799 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1800 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1801 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1803 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1804 UUID=bar type specifications.
1806 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1808 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1809 clear out a large block number.
1811 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1813 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1814 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1816 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1818 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1819 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1821 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1823 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1826 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1828 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1829 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1830 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1831 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1833 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1835 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1838 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1840 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1841 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1843 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1845 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1846 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1847 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1848 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1850 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1852 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1853 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1854 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1855 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1856 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1857 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1859 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1861 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1862 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1863 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1864 fsck pass structure.
1865 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1866 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1869 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1878 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1880 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1881 needs to be treated as zero.
1883 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1885 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1886 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1888 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1889 program if the -V option is given.
1891 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1892 through a directory.
1894 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1896 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1897 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1899 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1900 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1902 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1904 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1905 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1907 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1909 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
1911 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1913 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1914 seperated", instead of common separated)
1916 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1918 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1920 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1922 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1923 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1924 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1926 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1928 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1930 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1931 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1932 things look nice on an 80 character display.

1955 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
1956 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
1958 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
1959 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1962 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1964 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number

1975 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1976 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1977 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1978 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.

1989 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
1991 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
1994 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1995 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1998 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1999 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
2000 that the label will be truncated.
2002 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
2003 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
2004 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

2234 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
2235 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
2236 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
2237 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
2240 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
2242 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
2243 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
2244 and no version number is specified.
2246 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2248 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
2250 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2252 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
2255 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2257 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
2259 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2261 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
2262 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
2264 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2266 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
2268 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
2271 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2273 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
2274 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
2275 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
2276 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
2277 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
2278 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
2279 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
2280 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
2283 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2285 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
2287 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2289 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
2290 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
2293 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2295 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
2296 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
2297 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
2298 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
2299 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
2301 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2303 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
2306 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2308 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
2309 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
2311 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2313 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
2315 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2317 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
2318 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
2319 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
2321 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2323 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
2326 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2328 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
2329 function to determine if the device is mounted.
2331 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
2332 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
2333 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
2334 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
2336 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2338 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
2339 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
2340 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
2343 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2352 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
2354 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2356 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
2357 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
2358 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
2361 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
2363 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2365 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2366 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
2367 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
2369 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2371 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2372 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2373 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2374 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2377 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2378 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
2379 alloca is not portable!
2381 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
2382 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2385 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
2387 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
2389 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
2392 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
2394 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2395 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
2397 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2399 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2400 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
2402 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2404 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2406 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2407 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2409 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2411 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2413 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
2414 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
2415 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
2416 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2418 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
2419 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2420 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2421 statically sized buffer.
2422 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2423 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2425 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2426 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2427 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2428 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2429 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2431 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2432 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2433 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2434 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2437 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2438 support separate compilation directories.
2440 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2442 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2443 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2444 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2445 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2447 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2448 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2449 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2450 very large partition.
2452 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2453 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2454 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2456 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2457 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2458 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2459 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2460 ioctl, which most do.)
2462 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2463 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2464 during 0.5b development.)
2466 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2468 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2469 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2470 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2471 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2474 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2475 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2476 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2478 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2480 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2482 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2483 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2484 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2486 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2488 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2490 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2492 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2494 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2495 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2496 all partitions should be checked.
2498 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2500 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2503 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2506 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2508 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2509 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2511 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2513 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2515 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2517 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2520 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2522 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2524 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2526 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2528 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2530 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2532 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2533 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2534 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2535 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2536 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2538 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2539 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2540 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2541 statistics if necessary.
