1 2003-03-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
3 * Makefile.in (DEPLIBS_BLKID): Use DEPLIBUUID, not LIBUUID to
4 avoid depending on -lsocket on Solaris.
6 2003-03-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
8 * fsck.c, util.c, tune2fs.c, Makefile.in: Use the blkid library
9 instead of the specialized functions in
10 get-device-by-label.c and fstype.c.
12 * base_device.c (base_device): Take a const char* as an argument.
14 * blkid.c: Remove deprecated -d option,
16 2003-02-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

41 2002-11-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
43 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default;
44 the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not
45 the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards
46 compatibility support for dir_indexing removed.
48 2002-11-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
50 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.32
52 2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

68 hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator.
70 2002-10-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
72 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Pay attention to
73 partitions returned in /proc/partitions that begin with
74 with the string "lvm".

78 * Makefile.in (install): Search all compression extensions when
79 deleting old man pages.
81 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix bug in algorithm which determined
82 which blocks are used as backup superblock and block group

86 erreoneously (and needlessly).
88 2002-10-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
90 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
91 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
92 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
93 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
96 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
98 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
99 if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
100 will still print out the contents of the block group
103 2002-10-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
105 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), mke2fs.c (PRS), e2image.c

109 2002-10-15 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
111 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (update_mntopts, main): Add new option
112 'o' which allows the system administrator to specify
113 default mount options.
115 2002-10-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
117 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Use a 16k buffer to
118 read in /proc/partitions in one go.
120 * badblocks.c, fsck.c, fstype.c, get_device_by_label.c,
121 tune2fs.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
123 2002-10-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
125 * mklost+found.c (main): Make sure the lost+found directory is
126 created with 0700 permissions.
128 2002-10-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
130 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Handle a bad block in the
131 inode table correctly.
133 2002-09-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
135 * get_device_by_label.c: Applied sourceforge patch #613447, which
136 adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
139 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
140 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows
141 badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
142 CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.
144 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
146 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
147 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
148 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
149 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
151 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
153 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
155 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
157 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
158 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
159 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
160 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
161 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
163 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
165 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
167 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to
168 be set. If so, set the default hash to be TEA, and
169 initialize the hash seed to a random value.
171 2002-09-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
173 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Fix bug which caused
174 LABEL='xxx' to not work correctly when using LVM.
175 (Reversed sense of error check reported by ateeq@hotpop.com)

179 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.28
181 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
183 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
185 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
186 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
187 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
189 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
190 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
191 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
192 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
195 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
198 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
199 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
201 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive
202 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
205 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
206 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
207 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)
209 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page, and clarified text regarding
210 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
213 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
214 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
217 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
219 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
220 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
222 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
224 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
226 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
227 child fsck processes.
229 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
231 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
232 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
233 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
235 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
237 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
238 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
239 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
241 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
243 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)

252 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
254 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
256 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
257 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
259 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
261 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
262 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
263 is larger than the system's page size according to the
264 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
265 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
266 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
269 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
271 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
273 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
275 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
277 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
279 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
280 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
282 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
284 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
285 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
287 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
289 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
290 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
292 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
294 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
295 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
296 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
297 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
298 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
300 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
302 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
305 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
307 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
308 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
309 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
310 installing the man pages.
312 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
314 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
316 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
318 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
319 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
322 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
325 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
327 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26

331 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
334 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
335 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
336 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
338 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
340 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
341 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
342 envrionment variable.
344 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
346 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
348 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
350 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
352 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
353 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
356 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
358 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
359 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
360 the last checked time on the filesystem.
362 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
364 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
365 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
368 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
369 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
370 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
372 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
373 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
375 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
376 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
377 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
378 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
379 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
381 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
383 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
384 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
385 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
386 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
387 include search path.)
389 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
391 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
392 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
393 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
396 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
398 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
399 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
400 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
402 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
404 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
405 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
406 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
407 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
408 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
410 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
411 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
413 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
416 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
418 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
419 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
420 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
422 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
424 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
427 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
429 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
430 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
432 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
434 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
437 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
439 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
440 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
441 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
442 into a real device name.
444 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
446 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
447 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
448 calls are a good thing. <g>
450 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
452 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
454 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
456 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
458 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
460 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
462 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
465 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
466 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
468 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
470 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
473 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
475 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
477 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
479 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.

483 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
485 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
487 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
489 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
490 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
491 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
493 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
495 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
496 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
497 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
498 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
499 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
500 small device (less than 64 blocks).
502 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
504 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
507 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
508 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
509 display, since it only confuses people.
511 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
513 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
516 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
517 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
518 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
520 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
522 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
523 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
524 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
525 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
527 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
528 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
529 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
530 in the ext2 superblock.
532 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
533 malloc'd in interpret spec.
535 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
537 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
539 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
541 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
542 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
545 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
547 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
548 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
549 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
550 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
552 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
553 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
554 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
556 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
557 specified more than once.
559 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
561 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
562 text that erroneously implied that all features
563 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
566 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
568 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
569 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
570 should not be present.
572 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
574 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
576 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
577 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
579 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
581 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
582 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
583 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
584 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
586 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
588 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
589 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
591 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
593 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
594 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
595 blocksize of the new filesystem.
597 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
599 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
600 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
603 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
605 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
606 of the filesystem to determines its type.
608 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
609 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
611 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
613 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
615 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
617 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.21
619 2001-06-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
621 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
624 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
626 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
627 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
628 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
629 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
630 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
632 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
633 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
636 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
637 specified to configure.
639 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
641 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
642 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
644 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
645 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
648 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
649 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
650 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
652 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
654 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
655 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
656 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
658 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
660 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
661 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.
663 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
665 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
667 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
669 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
671 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
673 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
674 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
675 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
677 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
678 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
680 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
682 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
683 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
684 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
685 for description of new -t semantics.
687 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
688 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
689 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
691 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
692 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
695 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
697 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
698 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
699 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
701 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
704 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
706 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
707 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
709 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
711 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
713 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
714 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
716 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
718 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
719 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
720 value depending on if superblock features are set.
722 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
724 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
726 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
727 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
728 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
730 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
733 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
735 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
737 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
739 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
740 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
742 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
743 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
744 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
746 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
747 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
749 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
751 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
753 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
754 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
755 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
757 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
758 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
761 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
764 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
766 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
767 the base device, we should assume that the device is
768 already active in order to force serialization.
770 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
772 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
773 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
776 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
778 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
779 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
780 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
781 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
783 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
784 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
785 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
787 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
789 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
790 documentation for the extern journal device support.
792 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
795 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
797 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
798 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
800 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
801 number to be treated as a journal size.
803 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
806 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
807 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
808 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
809 entire device to get zero'ed.
811 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
813 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
814 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
817 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
819 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
820 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
821 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
822 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
823 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
824 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
825 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
826 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
827 using the absolute size of the journal.
829 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
831 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
832 Also handle the case where the default journal size
833 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
834 the filesystem will be checked.
836 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
838 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
840 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
842 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
845 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
846 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
849 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
850 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
852 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
854 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
855 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
856 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
857 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
858 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
859 with the rest of the options out there.)
861 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
862 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
863 from the external journal's filesystem list.
865 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
866 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
867 given a filesystem size.
869 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
872 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
873 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
875 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
877 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
878 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
879 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
881 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
882 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
883 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
884 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
885 have been created via separate step.
887 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
888 information about an external journal device.
890 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
892 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
893 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
894 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
895 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
896 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
897 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
898 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
899 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
901 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
903 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
904 stdout after printing in-progress message.
905 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
906 the mount status of the device.
908 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
910 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
911 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
912 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
913 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
914 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
916 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
919 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
921 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
923 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
924 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
925 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
927 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
929 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
932 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
933 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
936 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
938 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
939 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
941 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
943 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
944 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
945 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
946 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
948 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
949 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
950 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
952 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
953 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
955 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
957 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
958 struct ext2_super_block.
960 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
961 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
962 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
963 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
964 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
965 using our own version now).
967 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
969 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
970 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
971 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
972 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
973 the parallel_root option.
975 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
978 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
979 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
981 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
982 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
983 support for the journaled data flag.
985 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
987 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
989 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
991 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
992 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
994 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
996 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
999 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
1000 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
1001 instead of core dumping.
1003 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1005 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
1006 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
1007 journal creation routines for this purpose.
1009 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
1010 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
1012 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
1013 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
1015 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1017 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
1018 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
1021 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
1022 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
1024 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
1026 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1028 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
1029 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
1032 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
1033 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
1034 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
1035 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
1038 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
1039 group names to uid's before storing them in the
1040 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
1042 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1044 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
1045 option=argument style options, and add support for
1046 creating filesystems with external journals.
1048 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
1050 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1052 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
1053 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
1055 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1057 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
1058 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
1061 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
1064 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
1065 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
1068 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
1069 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
1072 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1074 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
1077 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
1079 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
1080 systems with four IDE interfaces.
1082 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
1084 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1087 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1088 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1090 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1092 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1093 we can't find the device using the name given by
1094 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1095 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1097 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1099 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1100 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1101 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1103 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1105 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1107 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1109 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1110 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1112 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1114 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1115 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1117 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1119 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1121 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1123 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1124 are mutually exclusive.
1126 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1127 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1128 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1131 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1132 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1133 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1134 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1135 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1136 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1137 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1138 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1141 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1142 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1143 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1144 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1147 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1149 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1150 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1151 the progress bar display logic.
1153 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1154 max_mount_count is negative.
1156 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1157 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1160 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1161 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1162 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1163 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1164 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1165 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1167 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1168 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1169 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1171 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1172 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1173 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1176 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1177 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1178 device as a default.
1180 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1182 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1183 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1184 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1185 old, overly complicated logic.
1186 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1187 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1188 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1190 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1192 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1193 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1194 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1195 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1197 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1199 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1200 or LABEL= specification is given.
1202 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1203 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1204 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1205 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1206 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1207 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1209 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1210 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1211 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1212 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1213 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1215 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1217 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1218 support fdatasync().
1220 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1222 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1223 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1224 manually define optarg and optind.
1226 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1229 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1230 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1231 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1232 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1234 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1235 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1237 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1239 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1242 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1244 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1246 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1248 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1249 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1251 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1252 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1253 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1254 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1257 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1258 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1259 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1261 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1263 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1264 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1265 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1266 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1267 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1269 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1270 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1271 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1272 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1273 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1274 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1276 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1278 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1280 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1281 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1282 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1283 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1284 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1286 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1287 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1289 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1291 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1293 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1294 document the -s option.
1296 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1298 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1299 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1300 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1301 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1303 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1304 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1305 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1306 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1307 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1308 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1309 Finally, the original data is written back.
1311 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1312 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1313 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1314 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1315 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1316 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1317 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1318 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1319 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1320 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1321 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1322 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1323 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1324 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1325 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1327 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1328 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1329 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1332 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1333 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1335 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1336 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1337 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1338 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1339 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1340 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1342 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1343 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1344 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1345 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1346 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1347 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1348 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1349 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1352 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1353 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1354 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1355 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1356 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1357 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1358 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1359 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1360 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1361 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1362 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1363 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1364 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1365 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1366 completely reliable.
1368 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1369 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1370 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1371 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1372 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1373 for your information.
1375 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1376 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1377 which I install which will write back whatever original
1378 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1379 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1381 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1382 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1383 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1384 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1385 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1386 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1387 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1388 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1389 should be in the distribution."
1391 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1393 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1394 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1395 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1397 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1399 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1400 option is properly named.
1402 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1404 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1405 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1406 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1408 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1410 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1411 the source directory.
1413 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1415 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1417 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1419 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1420 filesystem option is properly named.
1422 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1424 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1425 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1426 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1428 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1430 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1432 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1434 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1435 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1436 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1438 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1439 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1440 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1441 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1443 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1444 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1445 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1448 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1449 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1450 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1451 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1454 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1455 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1457 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1459 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1461 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1462 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1463 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1465 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1466 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1469 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1471 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1473 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1475 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1476 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1477 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1478 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1480 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1481 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1482 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1483 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1485 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1487 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1488 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1489 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1490 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1491 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1493 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1495 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1496 changing the sparse superblock option
1498 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1499 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1500 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1503 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1505 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1506 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1508 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1510 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1513 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1516 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1517 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1520 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1523 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1525 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1528 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1530 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1532 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1534 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1535 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1536 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1537 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1538 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1539 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1540 the filesystem the system would make.
1542 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1544 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1545 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1546 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1547 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1548 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1550 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1552 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1553 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1554 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1556 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1558 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1559 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1561 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1563 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1564 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1565 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1566 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1567 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1568 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1570 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1571 UUID=bar type specifications.
1573 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1575 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1576 clear out a large block number.
1578 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1580 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1581 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1583 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1585 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1586 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1588 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1590 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1593 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1595 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1596 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1597 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1598 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1600 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1602 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1605 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1607 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1608 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1610 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1612 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1613 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1614 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1615 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1617 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1619 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1620 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1621 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1622 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1623 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1624 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1626 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1628 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1629 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1630 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1631 fsck pass structure.
1632 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1633 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1636 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1638 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
1640 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1642 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
1645 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1647 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1648 needs to be treated as zero.
1650 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1652 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1653 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1655 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1656 program if the -V option is given.
1658 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1659 through a directory.
1661 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1663 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1664 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1666 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1667 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1669 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1671 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1672 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1674 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1676 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
1678 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1680 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1681 seperated", instead of common separated)
1683 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1685 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1687 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1689 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1690 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1691 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1693 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1695 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1697 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10

1722 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
1723 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
1725 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
1726 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,

1762 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1765 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1766 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1767 that the label will be truncated.
1769 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1770 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1771 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

1812 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
1813 to fix a -Wall warning.

1818 * mklost+found.c (main):
1820 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1822 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
1823 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
1824 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
1827 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

1841 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
1842 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
1843 80 columns when making a really big disk.
1845 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1847 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
1848 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
1849 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
1851 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
1852 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
1853 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
1855 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>

1859 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1861 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
1862 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
1863 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1864 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1867 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1868 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1870 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1872 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
1873 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13

1900 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
1902 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
1903 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
1904 sparse superblock flag is set.
1905 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
1906 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
1909 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

1932 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
1935 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1937 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
1939 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
1941 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1943 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that

1993 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1996 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1997 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1998 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
2001 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
2002 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
2003 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
2004 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
2007 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
2009 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
2010 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
2011 and no version number is specified.
2013 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2015 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
2017 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2024 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
2026 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2028 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to

2033 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
2035 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
2038 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2040 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
2041 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
2042 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
2043 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
2044 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
2045 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
2046 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
2047 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
2050 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2052 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02

2057 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
2060 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2062 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
2063 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
2064 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
2065 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
2066 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
2068 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2070 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
2073 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2075 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
2076 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
2078 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2080 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
2082 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2084 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
2085 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
2086 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
2088 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2090 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
2093 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2095 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
2096 function to determine if the device is mounted.
2098 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
2099 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
2100 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
2101 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
2103 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2105 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
2106 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
2107 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
2110 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2119 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
2121 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2123 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
2124 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
2125 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
2128 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
2130 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2132 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2133 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
2134 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
2136 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2138 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2139 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2140 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2141 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2144 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2145 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
2146 alloca is not portable!
2148 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
2149 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2152 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
2154 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
2156 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
2159 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
2161 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2162 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
2164 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2166 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2167 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
2169 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2171 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2173 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2174 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2176 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2178 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2180 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
2181 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
2182 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
2183 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2185 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
2186 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2187 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2188 statically sized buffer.
2189 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2190 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2192 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2193 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2194 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2195 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2196 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2198 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2199 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2200 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2201 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2204 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2205 support separate compilation directories.
2207 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2209 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2210 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2211 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2212 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2214 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2215 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2216 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2217 very large partition.
2219 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2220 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2221 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2223 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2224 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2225 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2226 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2227 ioctl, which most do.)
2229 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2230 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2231 during 0.5b development.)
2233 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2235 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2236 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2237 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2238 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2241 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2242 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2243 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2245 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2247 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2249 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2250 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2251 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2253 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2255 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2257 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2259 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2261 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2262 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2263 all partitions should be checked.
2265 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2267 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2270 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2273 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2275 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2276 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2278 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2280 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2282 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2284 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2287 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2289 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2291 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2293 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2295 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2297 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2299 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2300 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2301 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2302 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2303 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2305 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2306 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2307 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2308 statistics if necessary.
