20 2004-09-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
22 * badblocks.c: Use _() around done_string, so that it gets
23 correctly translated. (Addresses Debian Bug #252836)
25 * tune2fs.8.in: Add a description of the .journal file, why it
26 is created, and how e2fsck converts it to an invisible
27 journal. (Addresses Debian Bug #256760)
29 2004-09-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
31 * e2initrd_helper.c: New program which allows initrd scripts to
32 check on the contents of /etc/fstab without (a) needing to
33 mount the root filesystem, and (b) needing /bin/awk in the
34 initrd environment. (Addresses Debian Bug #247775)
36 2004-09-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
38 * tune2fs.8.in: Mention that e2fsck -D might be useful after
39 setting the dir_index filesystem feature. (Addresses
42 2004-07-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
44 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add new option -I which allows the
45 administrator to install an metadata stored in an e2image

64 were not modified, don't set the superblock dirty bit.
66 2004-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
68 * Makefile.in: Update the modtime even if subst doesn't need to
69 update the man pages, to avoid always re-running
70 subst, especially since there are no dependencies on these
73 2004-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
75 * blkid.c: Remove the partially implemented -p option (it never
76 did anything, but was documented in the man page and the
79 2004-03-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

102 2004-02-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
104 * badblocks.c (main): Change the default number of blocks tested
105 at once from 16 to 64. (Addresses Debian bug #232240)
107 2004-02-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
109 * filefrag.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
111 * badblocks.c (pattern_fill): Fix bug accidentally added when
112 fixing up gcc -Wall nits. badblocks -t random was not
113 getting handled properly because ~0 needed to be cast to
114 an unsigned long instead of an unsigned char. (Addresses
117 2004-02-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
119 * fsck.c (execute): Use '&&' instead of '&'. (It didn't cause a
120 problem because we got lucky, but let's do things right.
121 Fix from Thomas Woerner at Red Hat.)
123 2004-02-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
125 * filefrag.c: Use #ifdef __linux__ instead of __LINUX__ so that it

168 util.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks.
170 2003-09-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
172 * tune2fs.c (parse_e2label_options, parse_tune2fs_options,
173 do_findfs): Check the returned name from blkid_get_devname and
174 print an error if the requested LABEL/UUID does not exist.
176 2003-09-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
178 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Use ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc to
179 determine the locations of the superblock and block group
182 2003-11-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
184 * util.c (check_plausibility): Support 2.6 kernel header files,
185 instead of having the build to crash. (Addresses Debian
188 2003-09-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
190 * mke2fs.c (progress_init, progress_update): If the environment
191 variable MKE2FS_SKIP_PROGRESS is set, then don't print out
192 a progress bar; for regression test support.
193 (PRS): If the environment variable MKE2FS_DEVICE_SECTSIZE
194 is set, then override the device sector size. Again for
195 regression test support.
196 (main): If the environment variable MKE2FS_SKIP_CHECK_MSG
197 is set, then skip printing an information messages about
198 when the filesystem will be checked, since this number is
199 random and screws up the regression test expect script.
201 2003-08-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
203 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): Fix bug which caused -T largefile or
204 -T largefile4 to core dump due to a division by zero
205 error. (Addressed Debian bug #207082)
207 2003-08-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

222 boundaries. (Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for
225 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
227 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.34
229 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
231 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add warning if using -j and the blocksize is
232 greater than 4096, since some kernels don't support ext3

235 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Remove debugging printf. (Addresses
238 2003-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
240 * fsck.c (wait_many): Rename wait_all() to wait_many(), and have
241 new semantics: WAIT_ALL vs. WAIT_ATLEAST_ONE. This fixes
242 a bug where when fsck is waiting for another partition on
243 the same spindle, it spins wasting a lot of CPU.
245 2003-07-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
247 * badblocks.c (do_read, do_write, test_rw): Change the read/write
248 test to honor the -c option (number of blocks at a time).
249 do_read and do_write will try to turn on the O_DIRECT flag
250 if it appears that it is possible to use it. (Addresses
253 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): If sector_size is 0, don't use it to
254 set the blocksize to zero. This causes MD devices to fail
255 since they don't support the BLKSSZGET ioctl. (Addresses
258 2003-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
260 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main): If CONFIG_TESTIO_DEBUG, then use the
263 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Round down the default filesystem size so that
264 it is an even multiple of the page size, to work around
265 buffer cache kernel bug.
267 * badblocks.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (signed/unsigned type issues)
269 * blkid.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (missing #include <string.h>)
271 2003-05-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
273 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): If the sector size of the
274 device is larger than the default block size, then use the
275 sector size of the device as the default block size.
277 2003-05-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
279 * badblocks.c: Use an unsigned integer to support 4-byte test
280 patterns with the high bit set. Let the user explicitly
281 specify a random pattern with the argument "random".
283 2003-05-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
285 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Fix minor memory leak with test_rw() is
286 called for multiple passes.
287 (test_nd): Fix bug in chosing randomness for the
288 non-destructive test. We were only using 1 bit of
289 randomness per byte instead of 8 due to a bit-shift bug.
290 Also, initialize the random number generator from the time
291 in main(). Thanks to Thayne Harbaugh for pointing out
294 * badblocks.c, badblocks.8.in: Functional enhancements contributed
295 by Thayne Harbaugh. These patches allow the -t option to
296 control the test pattern(s) used when checking the disk.
297 Test patterns may be specified in all modes (r/w, r/o and
300 2003-05-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
302 * tune2fs.c (main, add_journal_device, remove_journal_device): If
303 --enable-testio-debug is set, then use the test_io manager
304 so we can watch what tune2fs is doing.
306 2003-05-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
308 * uuidgen.c (main): Add setup functions for NLS support.
310 * e2image.c (write_header), mke2fs.c (PRS): Add missing space in
313 * badblocks.c (usage), findsuper.c (main), util.c
314 (parse_journal_opts): Fix typo in usage string.
316 * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Add portability code to work around lack
319 * Makefile.in: Add $(LIBINTL) to the link line so we can support
320 using the internal gettext library.
322 * nls-enable.h: Add #ifndef protection around LOCALEDIR definition.
324 2003-04-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
326 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.33
328 2003-04-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

331 libext2fs, and avoid linking blkid against any of the ext2
334 2003-04-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
336 * Makefile.in (fsck): Fsck does not need to linked against the
337 ext2 libraries anymore.
339 2003-04-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
341 * fsck.c (main): Put stdout and stderr into non-buffered mode to
342 avoid cosmetic problems when running fsck under logsave.
344 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Avoid printing the version banner for mke2fs if
345 the -q option is specified. (Addresses Debian bug #172716)
347 * logsave.c: Add support for the -a option (only partially
348 implemented previously). Always log the command-line and
349 start and stop time to the log file. Add support for the
350 -s option, which skips text bracketed between control-A
351 and control-B characters.
353 2003-04-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
355 * logsave.c: New program which saves the output of a command in a
356 log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been
357 mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in
358 memory until it can write out the logfile).
360 2003-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
362 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the argument to -b is negative, treat it as a
363 minimum blocksize. (Feature requested by EVMS developers
364 for mainframe DASD's that do not support 1k blocksizes.)
366 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the -g option. (Addresses Debian bug #188318)
368 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug where mke2fs was incorrectly checking
369 the argument to the -g option, if the default block size
370 is used. (Addresses Debian bug #188319)
372 * tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Document the dir_index filesystem
373 feature which can be used with the -O option.
375 2003-04-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
377 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, interpret_type, fsck_device, ignore,
378 main): Don't evaluate the filesystem type when loading the
379 fstab file, since that might cause fsck to hang trying to
380 read from a floppy disk. (Addresses Debian bug #187812)
381 Add tmpfs and devpts to filesystems that should be
382 ignored, and add jfs, reseirfs, and xfs as filesystems
383 types where we should complain if we can't find the fsck
384 program for that filesystem type.
386 2003-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
388 * badblocks.c (bb_output): Flush output to the badblocks
389 output file as bad blocks are discovered.
391 2003-03-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
393 * chattr.1.in: Clarified the description of the 't' (no tail)
394 attribute. (Addresses Debian bug #185945)
396 2003-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
398 * fsck.c: And #ifdef protection around #include of malloc.h

403 symbolic links in the raw image file.
405 2003-03-06 <tytso@mit.edu>
407 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, parse_e2label_options): Allow
408 the device name to be specified using LABEL=xxx or
409 UUID=xxx, since we're including the blkid library anyway.
410 (Addresses Debian bugs #166048, #179671)
412 * tune2fs.8.in, chattr.1.in: Minor man page fixes (Addresses
413 Debian bugs #175233, #175113, and #170497)
415 2003-03-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
417 * Makefile.in (DEPLIBS_BLKID): Use DEPLIBUUID, not LIBUUID to
418 avoid depending on -lsocket on Solaris.
420 2003-03-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
422 * fsck.c, util.c, tune2fs.c, Makefile.in: Use the blkid library
423 instead of the specialized functions in
424 get-device-by-label.c and fstype.c.
426 * base_device.c (base_device): Take a const char* as an argument.
428 * blkid.c: Remove deprecated -d option,
430 2003-02-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

452 backslash escaping in /etc/fstab. (i.e., so that \040
455 2002-11-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
457 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default;
458 the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not
459 the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards
460 compatibility support for dir_indexing removed.
462 2002-11-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
464 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.32
466 2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

482 hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator.
484 2002-10-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
486 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Pay attention to

504 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
505 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
506 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
507 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
510 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
512 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
513 if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
514 will still print out the contents of the block group

527 default mount options.
529 2002-10-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
531 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Use a 16k buffer to

550 adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
553 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
554 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows
555 badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
556 CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.
558 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
560 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
561 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
562 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
563 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
565 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
567 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
569 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
571 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
572 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
573 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
574 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
575 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
577 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
579 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
581 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to

585 2002-09-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
587 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Fix bug which caused
588 LABEL='xxx' to not work correctly when using LVM.
589 (Reversed sense of error check reported by ateeq@hotpop.com)
591 2001-08-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
593 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.28
595 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
597 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
599 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
600 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
601 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
603 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
604 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
605 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
606 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
609 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
612 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
613 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
615 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive
616 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
619 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
620 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
621 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)

624 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
627 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
628 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
631 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
633 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
634 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
636 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
638 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
640 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
641 child fsck processes.
643 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
645 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
646 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
647 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
649 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
651 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
652 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
653 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
655 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
657 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)

666 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
668 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
670 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
671 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
673 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
675 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
676 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
677 is larger than the system's page size according to the
678 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
679 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
680 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
683 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
685 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
687 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
689 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
691 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
693 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
694 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
696 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
698 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
699 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
701 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
703 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
704 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)

708 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
709 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
710 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
711 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
712 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
714 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
716 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
719 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
721 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
722 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
723 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
724 installing the man pages.
726 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
728 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
730 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
732 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
733 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
736 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
739 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>

745 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
748 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
749 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
750 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
752 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
754 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
755 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
756 envrionment variable.
758 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
760 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>

764 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
766 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
767 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
770 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
772 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
773 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
774 the last checked time on the filesystem.
776 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
778 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
779 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
782 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
783 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
784 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
786 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
787 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
789 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
790 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
791 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
792 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
793 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
795 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
797 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
798 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
799 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
800 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
801 include search path.)
803 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
805 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
806 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
807 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
810 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
812 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
813 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
814 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
816 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
818 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
819 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),

821 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
822 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
824 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
825 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
827 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
830 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
832 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
833 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
834 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
836 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
838 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
841 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
843 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
844 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
846 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
848 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
851 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
853 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
854 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
855 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
856 into a real device name.
858 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
860 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
861 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
862 calls are a good thing. <g>
864 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
866 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
868 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.

876 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
879 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
880 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
882 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
884 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
887 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>

899 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
901 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
903 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
904 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
905 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
907 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
909 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
910 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
911 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
912 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
913 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
914 small device (less than 64 blocks).
916 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
918 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
921 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
922 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
923 display, since it only confuses people.
925 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
927 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
930 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
931 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
932 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
934 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
936 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
937 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
938 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
939 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
941 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
942 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
943 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
944 in the ext2 superblock.
946 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
947 malloc'd in interpret spec.
949 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
951 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
953 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
955 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
956 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
959 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
961 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
962 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
963 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
964 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
966 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
967 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
968 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
970 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
971 specified more than once.
973 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
975 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
976 text that erroneously implied that all features
977 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
980 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
982 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
983 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
984 should not be present.
986 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
988 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
990 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
991 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
993 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
995 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
996 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
997 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
998 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
1000 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1002 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
1003 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
1005 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1007 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
1008 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
1009 blocksize of the new filesystem.
1011 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1013 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
1014 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
1017 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1019 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
1020 of the filesystem to determines its type.
1022 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
1023 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
1025 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1027 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22

1038 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1040 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
1041 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
1042 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
1043 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
1044 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
1046 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
1047 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
1050 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
1051 specified to configure.
1053 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1055 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
1056 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
1058 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
1059 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
1062 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
1063 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
1064 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
1066 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1068 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
1069 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
1070 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
1072 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1074 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
1075 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.

1085 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1087 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
1088 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
1089 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
1091 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
1092 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
1094 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1096 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
1097 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
1098 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
1099 for description of new -t semantics.
1101 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
1102 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
1103 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
1105 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
1106 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
1109 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1111 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,

1154 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
1156 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
1157 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
1158 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
1160 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
1161 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
1163 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1165 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
1167 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
1168 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
1169 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
1171 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
1172 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
1175 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
1178 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1180 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
1181 the base device, we should assume that the device is
1182 already active in order to force serialization.
1184 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1186 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
1187 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
1188 more sense to users.
1190 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1192 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
1193 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
1194 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
1195 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
1196 from journal device.
1197 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
1198 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
1199 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
1201 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1203 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
1204 documentation for the extern journal device support.
1206 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
1209 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1211 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
1212 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
1214 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
1215 number to be treated as a journal size.
1217 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
1220 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
1221 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
1222 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
1223 entire device to get zero'ed.
1225 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1227 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
1228 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
1231 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
1233 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
1234 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
1235 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
1236 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
1237 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
1238 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
1239 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
1240 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
1241 using the absolute size of the journal.
1243 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1245 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
1246 Also handle the case where the default journal size
1247 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
1248 the filesystem will be checked.
1250 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1252 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
1254 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1256 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
1259 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
1260 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
1263 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
1264 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
1266 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1268 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
1269 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
1270 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
1271 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
1272 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
1273 with the rest of the options out there.)
1275 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
1276 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
1277 from the external journal's filesystem list.
1279 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
1280 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
1281 given a filesystem size.
1283 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
1286 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
1287 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
1289 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1291 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
1292 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
1293 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
1295 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
1296 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
1297 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
1298 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
1299 have been created via separate step.
1301 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
1302 information about an external journal device.
1304 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1306 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
1307 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
1308 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
1309 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
1310 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
1311 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
1312 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
1313 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
1315 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
1317 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
1318 stdout after printing in-progress message.
1319 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
1320 the mount status of the device.
1322 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1324 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
1325 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
1326 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
1327 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
1328 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
1330 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
1333 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
1335 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1337 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
1338 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
1339 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
1341 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1343 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
1346 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
1347 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
1350 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
1352 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
1353 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
1355 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1357 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
1358 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
1359 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
1360 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
1362 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
1363 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
1364 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
1366 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
1367 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
1369 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1371 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
1372 struct ext2_super_block.
1374 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
1375 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
1376 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
1377 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
1378 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
1379 using our own version now).
1381 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1383 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
1384 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
1385 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
1386 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
1387 the parallel_root option.
1389 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
1390 the file attributes.
1392 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
1393 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
1395 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
1396 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
1397 support for the journaled data flag.
1399 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
1401 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1403 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
1405 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
1406 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
1408 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1410 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
1413 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
1414 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
1415 instead of core dumping.
1417 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1419 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
1420 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
1421 journal creation routines for this purpose.
1423 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
1424 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
1426 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
1427 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
1429 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1431 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
1432 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
1435 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
1436 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
1438 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
1440 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1442 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
1443 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
1446 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
1447 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
1448 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
1449 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
1452 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
1453 group names to uid's before storing them in the
1454 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
1456 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1458 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
1459 option=argument style options, and add support for
1460 creating filesystems with external journals.
1462 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
1464 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1466 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
1467 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
1469 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1471 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
1472 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
1475 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
1478 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
1479 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
1482 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
1483 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
1486 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1488 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
1491 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
1493 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
1494 systems with four IDE interfaces.
1496 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
1498 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1501 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1502 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1504 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1506 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1507 we can't find the device using the name given by
1508 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1509 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1511 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1513 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1514 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1515 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1517 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1519 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1521 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1523 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1524 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1526 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1528 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1529 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1531 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1533 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1535 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1537 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1538 are mutually exclusive.
1540 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1541 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1542 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1545 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1546 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1547 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1548 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1549 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1550 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1551 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1552 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1555 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1556 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1557 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1558 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1561 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1563 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1564 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1565 the progress bar display logic.
1567 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1568 max_mount_count is negative.
1570 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1571 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1574 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1575 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1576 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1577 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1578 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1579 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1581 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1582 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1583 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1585 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1586 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1587 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1590 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1591 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1592 device as a default.
1594 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1596 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1597 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1598 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1599 old, overly complicated logic.
1600 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1601 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1602 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1604 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1606 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1607 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1608 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1609 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1611 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1613 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1614 or LABEL= specification is given.
1616 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1617 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1618 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1619 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1620 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1621 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1623 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1624 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1625 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1626 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1627 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1629 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1631 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1632 support fdatasync().
1634 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1636 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1637 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1638 manually define optarg and optind.
1640 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1643 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1644 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1645 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1646 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1648 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1649 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1651 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1653 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1656 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1658 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1660 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1662 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1663 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1665 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1666 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1667 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1668 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1671 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1672 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1673 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1675 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1677 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1678 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1679 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1680 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1681 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1683 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1684 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1685 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1686 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1687 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1688 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1690 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1692 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1694 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1695 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1696 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1697 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1698 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1700 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1701 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1703 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1705 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1707 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1708 document the -s option.
1710 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1712 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1713 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1714 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1715 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1717 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1718 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1719 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1720 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1721 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1722 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1723 Finally, the original data is written back.
1725 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1726 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1727 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1728 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1729 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1730 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1731 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1732 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1733 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1734 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1735 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1736 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1737 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1738 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1739 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1741 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1742 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1743 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1746 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1747 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1749 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1750 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1751 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1752 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1753 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1754 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1756 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1757 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1758 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1759 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1760 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1761 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1762 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1763 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1766 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1767 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1768 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1769 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1770 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1771 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1772 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1773 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1774 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1775 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1776 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1777 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1778 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1779 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1780 completely reliable.
1782 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1783 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1784 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1785 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1786 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1787 for your information.
1789 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1790 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1791 which I install which will write back whatever original
1792 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1793 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1795 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1796 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1797 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1798 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1799 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1800 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1801 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1802 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1803 should be in the distribution."
1805 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1807 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1808 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1809 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1811 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1813 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1814 option is properly named.
1816 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1818 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1819 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1820 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1822 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1824 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1825 the source directory.
1827 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1829 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1831 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1833 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1834 filesystem option is properly named.
1836 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1838 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1839 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1840 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1842 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1844 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1846 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1848 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1849 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1850 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1852 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1853 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1854 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1855 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1857 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1858 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1859 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1862 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1863 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1864 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1865 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1868 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1869 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1871 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1873 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1875 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1876 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1877 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1879 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1880 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1883 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1885 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1887 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1889 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1890 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1891 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1892 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1894 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1895 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1896 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1897 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1899 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1901 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1902 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1903 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1904 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1905 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1907 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1909 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1910 changing the sparse superblock option
1912 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1913 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1914 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1917 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1919 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1920 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1922 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1924 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1927 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1930 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1931 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1934 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1937 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1939 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1942 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1944 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1946 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1948 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1949 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1950 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1951 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1952 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1953 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1954 the filesystem the system would make.
1956 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1958 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1959 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1960 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1961 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1962 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1964 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1966 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1967 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1968 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1970 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1972 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1973 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1975 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1977 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1978 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1979 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1980 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1981 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1982 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1984 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1985 UUID=bar type specifications.
1987 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1989 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1990 clear out a large block number.
1992 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1994 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1995 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1997 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1999 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
2000 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
2002 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2004 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
2007 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2009 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
2010 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
2011 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
2012 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
2014 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
2016 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
2019 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2021 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
2022 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
2024 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2026 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
2027 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
2028 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
2029 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
2031 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2033 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
2034 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
2035 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
2036 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
2037 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
2038 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
2040 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2042 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
2043 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
2044 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
2045 fsck pass structure.
2046 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
2047 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
2050 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2052 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
2054 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2056 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
2059 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2061 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
2062 needs to be treated as zero.
2064 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2066 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
2067 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
2069 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
2070 program if the -V option is given.
2072 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
2073 through a directory.
2075 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2077 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
2078 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
2080 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
2081 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
2083 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2085 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
2086 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
2088 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2090 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
2092 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2094 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
2095 seperated", instead of common separated)
2097 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2099 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
2101 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2103 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
2104 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
2105 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
2107 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2109 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
2111 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
2112 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
2113 things look nice on an 80 character display.
2115 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2117 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage

2122 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.12
2124 1998-07-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2126 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
2127 being written by e2fsprogs.
2129 1998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2131 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
2133 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
2134 * tune2fs.c (usage):
2136 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
2137 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
2139 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
2140 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
2143 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2145 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
2148 1998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2150 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove check for filesystems with the noauto
2153 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2155 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
2156 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
2157 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
2158 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
2159 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
2161 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2163 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.

2167 1998-03-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2169 * chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may
2170 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
2172 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
2175 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
2176 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
2179 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
2180 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
2181 that the label will be truncated.
2183 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
2184 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
2185 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
2187 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2189 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning
2190 message. Fixed up -Wall warnings in file.
2192 Sun Mar 8 22:21:48 1998 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2194 * partinfo.c (main): The ioctl BLKGETSIZE requires a long, not an
2197 Sun Feb 1 16:53:36 1998 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2200 of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or
2203 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
2204 bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the
2207 Mon Dec 1 17:01:04 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2209 * badblocks.8.in: Add documentation for the -s option.
2211 Fri Oct 24 23:37:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2214 * chattr.c: Remove #include of getopt.h, since it's not needed.
2218 * badblocks.c (main):
2219 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
2220 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
2221 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
2224 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2226 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
2227 to fix a -Wall warning.
2229 Mon Sep 15 22:07:12 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2232 * mklost+found.c (main):
2234 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
2236 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
2237 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
2238 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
2241 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2243 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which
2244 provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem
2247 * Makefile.in (SPROGS): Add Makefile support to build e2label
2249 Tue Jun 17 01:33:20 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2255 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
2256 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
2257 80 columns when making a really big disk.
2259 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2261 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
2262 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
2263 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
2265 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
2266 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
2267 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
2269 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>

2273 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
2275 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
2276 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
2277 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
2278 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
2281 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
2282 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
2284 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
2286 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
2287 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
2290 Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2292 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.09
2294 Fri Apr 11 18:57:24 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2313 * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
2314 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
2316 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
2317 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
2318 sparse superblock flag is set.
2319 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
2320 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
2323 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
2325 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
2327 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2329 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and
2330 i_gid to be the real user and group id.
2332 Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2334 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error

2344 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
2345 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
2346 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
2349 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2351 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
2353 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
2355 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2357 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that

2388 current number of mounts.
2389 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
2390 mostly for debugging.
2392 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2394 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.

2404 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
2405 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
2407 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2410 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
2411 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
2412 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
2415 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
2416 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
2417 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
2418 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
2421 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
2423 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
2424 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
2425 and no version number is specified.
2427 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2429 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
2431 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2433 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
2436 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2438 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
2440 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2442 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
2443 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
2445 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2447 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
2449 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
2452 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2454 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
2455 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
2456 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
2457 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
2458 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
2459 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
2460 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
2461 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
2464 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2466 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
2468 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2470 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
2471 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
2474 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2476 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
2477 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
2478 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
2479 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
2480 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
2482 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2484 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
2487 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2489 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
2490 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
2492 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2494 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
2496 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2498 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
2499 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
2500 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
2502 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2504 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
2507 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2509 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
2510 function to determine if the device is mounted.
2512 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
2513 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
2514 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
2515 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
2517 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2519 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
2520 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
2521 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
2524 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2533 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
2535 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2537 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
2538 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
2539 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
2542 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
2544 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2546 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2547 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
2548 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
2550 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2552 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2553 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2554 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2555 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2558 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2559 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
2560 alloca is not portable!
2562 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
2563 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2566 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
2568 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
2570 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
2573 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
2575 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2576 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
2578 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2580 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2581 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
2583 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2585 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2587 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2588 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2590 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2592 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2594 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
2595 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
2596 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
2597 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2599 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
2600 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2601 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2602 statically sized buffer.
2603 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2604 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2606 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2607 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2608 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2609 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2610 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2612 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2613 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2614 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2615 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2618 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2619 support separate compilation directories.
2621 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2623 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2624 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2625 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2626 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2628 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2629 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2630 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2631 very large partition.
2633 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2634 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2635 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2637 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2638 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2639 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2640 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2641 ioctl, which most do.)
2643 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2644 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2645 during 0.5b development.)
2647 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2649 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2650 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2651 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2652 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2655 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2656 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2657 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2659 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2661 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2663 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2664 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2665 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2667 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2669 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2671 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2673 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2675 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2676 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2677 all partitions should be checked.
2679 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2681 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2684 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2687 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2689 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2690 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2692 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2694 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2696 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2698 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2701 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2703 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2705 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2707 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2709 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2711 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2713 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2714 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2715 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2716 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2717 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2719 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2720 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2721 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2722 statistics if necessary.
