1 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
3 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
6 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
7 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
9 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
10 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
11 support for the journaled data flag.
13 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
15 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
17 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
19 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
20 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
22 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
24 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
27 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
28 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
29 instead of core dumping.
31 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
33 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
34 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
35 journal creation routines for this purpose.
37 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
38 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
40 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
41 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
43 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
45 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
46 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
49 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
50 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
52 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
54 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
56 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
57 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
60 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
61 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
62 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
63 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
66 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
67 group names to uid's before storing them in the
68 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
70 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
72 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
73 option=argument style options, and add support for
74 creating filesystems with external journals.
76 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
78 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
80 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
81 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
83 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
85 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
86 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
89 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
92 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
93 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
96 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
97 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
100 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
102 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
105 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
107 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
108 systems with four IDE interfaces.
110 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
112 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
115 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
116 the inode table location in non-hex format.
118 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
120 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
121 we can't find the device using the name given by
122 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
123 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
125 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
127 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
128 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
129 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
131 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
133 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
135 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
137 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
138 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
140 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
142 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
143 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
145 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
147 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
149 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
151 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
152 are mutually exclusive.
154 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
155 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
156 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
159 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
160 variable before going into the write verification loop.
161 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
162 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
163 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
164 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
165 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
166 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
169 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
170 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
171 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
172 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
175 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
177 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
178 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
179 the progress bar display logic.
181 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
182 max_mount_count is negative.
184 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
185 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
188 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
189 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
190 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
191 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
192 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
193 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
195 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
196 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
197 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
199 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
200 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
201 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
204 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
205 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
208 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
210 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
211 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
212 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
213 old, overly complicated logic.
214 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
215 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
216 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
218 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
220 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
221 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
222 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
223 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
225 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
227 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
228 or LABEL= specification is given.
230 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
231 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
232 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
233 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
234 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
235 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
237 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
238 proceed_question that was busted due to the
239 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
240 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
241 cleared of the previous question's newline.
243 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
245 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
248 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
250 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
251 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
252 manually define optarg and optind.
254 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
257 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
258 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
259 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
260 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
262 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
263 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
265 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
267 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
270 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
272 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
274 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
276 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
277 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
279 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
280 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
281 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
282 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
285 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
286 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
287 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
289 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
291 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
292 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
293 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
294 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
295 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
297 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
298 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
299 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
300 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
301 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
302 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
304 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
306 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
308 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
309 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
310 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
311 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
312 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
314 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
315 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
317 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
319 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
321 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
322 document the -s option.
324 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
326 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
327 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
328 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
329 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
331 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
332 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
333 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
334 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
335 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
336 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
337 Finally, the original data is written back.
339 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
340 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
341 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
342 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
343 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
344 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
345 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
346 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
347 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
348 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
349 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
350 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
351 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
352 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
353 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
355 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
356 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
357 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
360 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
361 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
363 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
364 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
365 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
366 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
367 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
368 and want the host hard drive to flush.
370 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
371 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
372 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
373 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
374 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
375 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
376 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
377 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
380 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
381 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
382 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
383 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
384 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
385 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
386 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
387 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
388 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
389 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
390 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
391 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
392 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
393 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
396 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
397 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
398 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
399 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
400 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
401 for your information.
403 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
404 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
405 which I install which will write back whatever original
406 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
407 (except SIGKILL, of course).
409 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
410 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
411 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
412 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
413 could learn how to update the manpage and other
414 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
415 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
416 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
417 should be in the distribution."
419 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
421 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
422 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
423 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
425 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
427 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
428 option is properly named.
430 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
432 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
433 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
434 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
436 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
438 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
439 the source directory.
441 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
443 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
445 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
447 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
448 filesystem option is properly named.
450 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
452 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
453 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
454 fsck -As can do so interactively.
456 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
458 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
460 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
462 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
463 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
464 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
466 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
467 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
468 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
469 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
471 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
472 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
473 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
476 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
477 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
478 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
479 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
482 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
483 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
485 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
487 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
489 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
490 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
491 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
493 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
494 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
497 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
499 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
501 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
503 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
504 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
505 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
506 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
508 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
509 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
510 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
511 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
513 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
515 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
516 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
517 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
518 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
519 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
521 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
523 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
524 changing the sparse superblock option
526 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
527 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
528 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
531 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
533 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
534 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
536 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
538 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
541 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
544 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
545 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
548 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
551 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
553 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
556 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
558 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
560 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
562 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
563 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
564 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
565 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
566 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
567 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
568 the filesystem the system would make.
570 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
572 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
573 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
574 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
575 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
576 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
578 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
580 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
581 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
582 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
584 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>

592 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
593 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
594 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
595 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
596 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
598 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
599 UUID=bar type specifications.
601 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>

614 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
616 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
618 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
621 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
623 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
624 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
625 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
626 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
628 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
630 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
633 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

645 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
647 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
648 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
649 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
650 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
651 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
652 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
654 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
656 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
657 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
658 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
660 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
661 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
664 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

689 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
691 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
692 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
694 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
695 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
697 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
699 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for

715 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
717 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
718 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
719 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.

767 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
769 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
770 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
771 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
772 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
773 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.

795 that the label will be truncated.
797 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
798 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
799 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
801 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
803 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning

1068 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1069 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1070 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1071 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1072 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1073 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1074 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1075 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this

1088 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1090 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1091 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1092 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1093 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1094 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1096 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1124 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1126 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1127 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1128 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1129 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1131 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1133 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1134 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1135 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to

1151 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1152 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1153 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1156 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1158 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1160 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1161 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1162 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1164 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1166 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1167 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1168 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1169 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1172 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1173 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1174 alloca is not portable!
1176 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1177 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1180 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1182 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1184 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1187 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1189 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1190 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1192 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1194 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1195 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1197 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1199 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1201 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1202 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1204 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1206 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1208 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1209 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1210 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1211 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1213 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1214 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1215 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1216 statically sized buffer.
1217 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1218 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1220 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1221 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1222 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1223 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1224 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1226 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1227 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1228 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1229 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1232 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1233 support separate compilation directories.
1235 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1237 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1238 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1239 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1240 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1242 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1243 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1244 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1245 very large partition.
1247 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1248 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1249 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1251 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1252 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1253 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1254 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1255 ioctl, which most do.)
1257 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1258 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1259 during 0.5b development.)
1261 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1263 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1264 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1265 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1266 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1269 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1270 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1271 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1273 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1275 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1277 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1278 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1279 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1281 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1283 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1285 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1287 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1289 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1290 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1291 all partitions should be checked.
1293 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1295 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1298 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1301 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1303 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1304 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1306 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1308 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1310 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1312 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1315 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1317 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1319 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1321 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1323 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1325 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1327 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1328 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1329 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1330 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1331 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1333 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1334 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1335 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1336 statistics if necessary.
