3 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
4 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
5 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
7 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
9 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)

18 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
20 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
22 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
23 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
25 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
27 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
28 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
29 is larger than the system's page size according to the
30 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
31 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
32 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
35 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
37 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
39 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
41 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
43 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
45 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
46 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
48 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
50 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
51 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
53 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
55 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
56 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
58 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
60 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
61 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
62 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
63 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
64 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
66 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
68 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
71 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
73 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
74 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
75 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
76 installing the man pages.
78 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
80 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
82 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
84 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
85 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
88 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
91 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
93 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26
95 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
97 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
100 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
101 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
102 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
104 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
106 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
107 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
108 envrionment variable.
110 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
112 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
114 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
116 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
118 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
119 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
122 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
124 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
125 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
126 the last checked time on the filesystem.
128 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
130 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
131 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
134 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
135 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
136 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
138 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
139 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
141 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
142 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
143 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
144 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
145 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
147 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
149 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
150 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
151 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
152 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
153 include search path.)
155 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
157 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
158 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
159 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
162 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
164 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
165 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
166 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
168 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
170 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
171 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
172 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
173 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
174 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
176 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
177 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
179 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
182 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
184 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
185 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
186 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
188 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
190 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
193 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
195 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
196 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
198 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
200 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
203 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
205 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
206 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
207 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
208 into a real device name.
210 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
212 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
213 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
214 calls are a good thing. <g>
216 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
218 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
220 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
222 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
224 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
226 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
228 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
231 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
232 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
234 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
236 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
239 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
241 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
243 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
245 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.
247 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
249 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
251 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
253 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
255 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
256 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
257 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
259 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
261 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
262 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
263 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
264 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
265 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
266 small device (less than 64 blocks).
268 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
270 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
273 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
274 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
275 display, since it only confuses people.
277 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
279 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
282 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
283 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
284 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
286 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
288 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
289 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
290 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
291 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
293 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
294 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
295 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
296 in the ext2 superblock.
298 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
299 malloc'd in interpret spec.
301 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
303 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
305 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
307 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
308 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
311 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
313 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
314 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
315 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
316 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
318 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
319 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
320 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
322 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
323 specified more than once.
325 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
327 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
328 text that erroneously implied that all features
329 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
332 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
334 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
335 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
336 should not be present.
338 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
340 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
342 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
343 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
345 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
347 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
348 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
349 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
350 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
352 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
354 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
355 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
357 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
359 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
360 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
361 blocksize of the new filesystem.
363 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
365 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
366 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
369 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
371 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
372 of the filesystem to determines its type.
374 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
375 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
377 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

390 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
392 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
393 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
394 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
395 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
396 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
398 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
399 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
402 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
403 specified to configure.
405 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
407 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
408 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
410 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
411 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
414 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
415 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
416 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
418 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
420 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
421 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
422 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
424 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
426 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
427 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.

437 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
439 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
440 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
441 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
443 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
444 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
446 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
448 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
449 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
450 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
451 for description of new -t semantics.
453 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
454 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
455 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
457 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
458 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
461 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
463 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
464 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
465 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h

480 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
482 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
484 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
485 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
486 value depending on if superblock features are set.
488 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
490 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.

506 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
508 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
509 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
510 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
512 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
513 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
515 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
517 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
519 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
520 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
521 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.

530 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
532 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
533 the base device, we should assume that the device is
534 already active in order to force serialization.
536 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
538 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
539 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
542 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
544 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
545 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
546 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
547 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
549 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
550 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
551 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
553 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
555 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
556 documentation for the extern journal device support.
558 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
561 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
563 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
564 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
566 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
567 number to be treated as a journal size.
569 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
572 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
573 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
574 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
575 entire device to get zero'ed.
577 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
579 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
580 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
583 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
585 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
586 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
587 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
588 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
589 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
590 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
591 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
592 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
593 using the absolute size of the journal.
595 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
597 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
598 Also handle the case where the default journal size
599 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
600 the filesystem will be checked.
602 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
604 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
606 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
608 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
611 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
612 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
615 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
616 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
618 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
620 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
621 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
622 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
623 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
624 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
625 with the rest of the options out there.)
627 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
628 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
629 from the external journal's filesystem list.
631 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
632 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
633 given a filesystem size.
635 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
638 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
639 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
641 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
643 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
644 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
645 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
647 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
648 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
649 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
650 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
651 have been created via separate step.
653 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
654 information about an external journal device.
656 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
658 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
659 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
660 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
661 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
662 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
663 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
664 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
665 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
667 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
669 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
670 stdout after printing in-progress message.
671 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
672 the mount status of the device.
674 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
676 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
677 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
678 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
679 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
680 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
682 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
685 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
687 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
689 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
690 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
691 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
693 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
695 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
698 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
699 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
702 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
704 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
705 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
707 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
709 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
710 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
711 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
712 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
714 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
715 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
716 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
718 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
719 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
721 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
723 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
724 struct ext2_super_block.
726 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
727 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
728 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
729 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
730 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
731 using our own version now).
733 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
735 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
736 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
737 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
738 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
739 the parallel_root option.
741 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
744 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
745 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
747 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
748 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
749 support for the journaled data flag.
751 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
753 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
755 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
757 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
758 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
760 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
762 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
765 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
766 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
767 instead of core dumping.
769 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
771 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
772 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
773 journal creation routines for this purpose.
775 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
776 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
778 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
779 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
781 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
783 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
784 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
787 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
788 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
790 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
792 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
794 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
795 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
798 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
799 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
800 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
801 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
804 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
805 group names to uid's before storing them in the
806 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
808 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
810 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
811 option=argument style options, and add support for
812 creating filesystems with external journals.
814 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
816 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
818 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
819 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
821 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
823 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
824 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
827 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
830 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
831 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
834 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
835 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
838 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
840 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
843 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
845 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
846 systems with four IDE interfaces.
848 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
850 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
853 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
854 the inode table location in non-hex format.
856 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
858 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
859 we can't find the device using the name given by
860 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
861 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
863 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
865 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
866 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
867 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
869 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
871 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
873 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
875 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
876 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
878 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
880 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
881 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
883 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
885 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
887 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
889 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
890 are mutually exclusive.
892 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
893 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
894 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
897 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
898 variable before going into the write verification loop.
899 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
900 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
901 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
902 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
903 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
904 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
907 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
908 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
909 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
910 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
913 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
915 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
916 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
917 the progress bar display logic.
919 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
920 max_mount_count is negative.
922 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
923 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
926 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
927 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
928 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
929 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
930 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
931 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
933 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
934 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
935 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
937 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
938 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
939 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
942 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
943 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
946 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
948 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
949 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
950 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
951 old, overly complicated logic.
952 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
953 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
954 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
956 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
958 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
959 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
960 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
961 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
963 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
965 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
966 or LABEL= specification is given.
968 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
969 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
970 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
971 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
972 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
973 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
975 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
976 proceed_question that was busted due to the
977 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
978 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
979 cleared of the previous question's newline.
981 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
983 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
986 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
988 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
989 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
990 manually define optarg and optind.
992 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
995 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
996 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
997 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
998 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1000 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1001 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1003 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1005 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1008 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1010 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1012 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1014 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1015 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1017 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1018 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1019 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1020 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1023 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1024 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1025 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1027 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1029 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1030 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1031 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1032 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1033 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1035 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1036 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1037 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1038 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1039 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1040 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1042 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1044 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1046 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1047 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1048 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1049 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1050 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1052 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1053 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1055 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1057 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1059 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1060 document the -s option.
1062 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1064 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1065 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1066 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1067 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1069 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1070 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1071 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1072 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1073 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1074 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1075 Finally, the original data is written back.
1077 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1078 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1079 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1080 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1081 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1082 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1083 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1084 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1085 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1086 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1087 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1088 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1089 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1090 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1091 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1093 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1094 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1095 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1098 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1099 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1101 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1102 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1103 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1104 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1105 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1106 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1108 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1109 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1110 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1111 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1112 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1113 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1114 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1115 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1118 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1119 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1120 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1121 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1122 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1123 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1124 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1125 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1126 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1127 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1128 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1129 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1130 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1131 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1132 completely reliable.
1134 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1135 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1136 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1137 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1138 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1139 for your information.
1141 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1142 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1143 which I install which will write back whatever original
1144 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1145 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1147 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1148 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1149 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1150 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1151 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1152 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1153 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1154 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1155 should be in the distribution."
1157 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1159 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1160 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1161 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1163 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1165 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1166 option is properly named.
1168 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1170 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1171 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1172 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1174 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1176 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1177 the source directory.
1179 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1181 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1183 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1185 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1186 filesystem option is properly named.
1188 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1190 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1191 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1192 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1194 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1196 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1198 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1200 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1201 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1202 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1204 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1205 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1206 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1207 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1209 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1210 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1211 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1214 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1215 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1216 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1217 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1220 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1221 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1223 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1225 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1227 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1228 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1229 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1231 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1232 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1235 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1237 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1239 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1241 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1242 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1243 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1244 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1246 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1247 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1248 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1249 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1251 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1253 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1254 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1255 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1256 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1257 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1259 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1261 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1262 changing the sparse superblock option
1264 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1265 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1266 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1269 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1271 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1272 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1274 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1276 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1279 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1282 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1283 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1286 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1289 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1291 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1294 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1296 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1298 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1300 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1301 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1302 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1303 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1304 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1305 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1306 the filesystem the system would make.
1308 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1310 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1311 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1312 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1313 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1314 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1316 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1318 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1319 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1320 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1322 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1324 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1325 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1327 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1329 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1330 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1331 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1332 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1333 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1334 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1336 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1337 UUID=bar type specifications.
1339 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1341 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1342 clear out a large block number.
1344 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1346 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1347 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1349 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1351 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1352 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1354 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1356 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1359 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1361 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1362 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1363 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1364 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1366 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1368 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1371 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1373 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1374 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1376 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1378 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1379 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1380 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1381 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1383 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1385 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1386 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1387 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1388 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1389 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1390 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1392 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1394 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1395 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1396 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1397 fsck pass structure.
1398 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1399 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1402 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1404 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
1406 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1411 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1413 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1414 needs to be treated as zero.
1416 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1418 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1419 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1421 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1422 program if the -V option is given.
1424 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1425 through a directory.
1427 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1429 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1430 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1432 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1433 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1435 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1437 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1438 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1440 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1442 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
1444 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1446 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1447 seperated", instead of common separated)
1449 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1451 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1453 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1455 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1456 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1457 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1459 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1461 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1463 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1464 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1465 things look nice on an 80 character display.
1467 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1469 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage

1476 1998-07-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1478 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
1479 being written by e2fsprogs.
1481 1998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1483 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
1485 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
1486 * tune2fs.c (usage):
1488 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
1489 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
1491 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
1492 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1495 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1497 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
1500 1998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1502 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove check for filesystems with the noauto
1505 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1507 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
1508 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1509 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1510 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1511 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
1513 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1515 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.

1519 1998-03-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1521 * chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may
1522 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
1524 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
1527 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1528 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1531 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1532 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1533 that the label will be truncated.
1535 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1536 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1537 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
1539 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1541 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning

1570 * badblocks.c (main):
1571 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1572 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
1573 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
1576 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1578 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
1579 to fix a -Wall warning.
1581 Mon Sep 15 22:07:12 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1584 * mklost+found.c (main):
1586 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1588 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
1589 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
1590 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
1593 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1595 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which
1596 provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem
1599 * Makefile.in (SPROGS): Add Makefile support to build e2label
1601 Tue Jun 17 01:33:20 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1603 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.11
1605 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1607 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
1608 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
1609 80 columns when making a really big disk.
1611 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1613 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,

1615 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
1617 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
1618 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
1619 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
1621 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>

1625 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1627 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
1628 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
1629 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1630 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1633 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1634 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1636 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1638 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
1639 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13

1648 * chattr.1.in: Updated man page so that the 'A' attribute is
1649 specified everywhere.
1651 * chattr.c (usage): Added usage message for the 'A' attribute.
1653 Fri Apr 11 18:56:26 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1655 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.08
1657 Thu Apr 10 07:08:03 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1659 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): List the offsets of the inode and block
1660 bitmaps, and the inode table. List the block boundaries
1663 Sat Apr 5 11:55:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1669 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
1670 sparse superblock flag is set.
1671 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
1672 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
1675 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1677 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
1679 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1681 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and
1682 i_gid to be the real user and group id.
1684 Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1686 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error
1687 messages when the device doesn't exist.
1689 Sat Mar 1 10:43:32 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1691 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug where the PATH environment variable isn't
1692 set when it is unset.
1694 Tue Jan 14 12:30:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1696 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
1697 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
1698 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
1701 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1703 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
1705 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
1707 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1709 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that
1710 they frequently update the block number field.
1712 * badblocks.8.in: Document the optional start-block parameter
1714 Mon Oct 14 11:52:58 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1716 * mke2fs.c: Updated to use new ext2fs_allocate_tables() function.
1718 Tue Oct 8 02:02:03 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1720 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.06
1722 Mon Oct 7 00:56:24 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1724 * chattr.1.in: Documented the 'A' (noatime) attribute.
1726 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Change EXT2_SWAP to EXT2_FLAG_SWAP for
1729 Sun Sep 22 16:18:47 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1731 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Add support for the 'A' (noatime) flag.

1737 Sat Sep 7 07:34:11 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1739 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support for new option -C, which sets the
1740 current number of mounts.
1741 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
1742 mostly for debugging.
1744 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1746 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.
1747 (SPROGS): Use @FSCK_PROG@ instead of fsck.
1749 Thu Aug 22 00:51:44 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1751 * mke2fs.c (zap_bootblock): Don't do zap_bootblock on a
1754 Tue Aug 20 00:15:46 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1756 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
1757 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
1759 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1762 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1763 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1764 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1767 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1768 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1769 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1770 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1773 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1775 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1776 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1777 and no version number is specified.
1779 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1781 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
1783 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1785 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
1788 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1790 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1792 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1794 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1795 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1797 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1799 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1801 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1804 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1806 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1807 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1808 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1809 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1810 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1811 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1812 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1813 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1816 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1818 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1820 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1822 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1823 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1826 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1828 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1829 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1830 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1831 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1832 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1834 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1836 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1839 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1841 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1842 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1844 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1846 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1848 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1850 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1851 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1852 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1854 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1856 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1859 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1861 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1862 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1864 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1865 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1866 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1867 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1869 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1871 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1872 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1873 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1876 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1885 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1887 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1889 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1890 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1891 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1894 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1896 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1898 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1899 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1900 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1902 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1904 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1905 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1906 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1907 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1910 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1911 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1912 alloca is not portable!
1914 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1915 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1918 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1920 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1922 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1925 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1927 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1928 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1930 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1932 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1933 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1935 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1937 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1939 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1940 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1942 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1944 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1946 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1947 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1948 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1949 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1951 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1952 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1953 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1954 statically sized buffer.
1955 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1956 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1958 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1959 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1960 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1961 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1962 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1964 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1965 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1966 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1967 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1970 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1971 support separate compilation directories.
1973 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1975 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1976 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1977 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1978 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1980 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1981 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1982 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1983 very large partition.
1985 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1986 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1987 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1989 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1990 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1991 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1992 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1993 ioctl, which most do.)
1995 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1996 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1997 during 0.5b development.)
1999 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2001 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2002 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2003 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2004 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2007 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2008 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2009 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2011 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2013 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2015 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2016 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2017 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2019 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2021 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2023 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2025 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2027 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2028 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2029 all partitions should be checked.
2031 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2033 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2036 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2039 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2041 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2042 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2044 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2046 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2048 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2050 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2053 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2055 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2057 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2059 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2061 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2063 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2065 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2066 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2067 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2068 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2069 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2071 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2072 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2073 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2074 statistics if necessary.
