1 2005-01-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
3 * Makefile.in (uninstall): Make sure "make uninstall" removes
4 everything installed by the makefile.
6 * e2image.c (scramble_dir_block): Make sure the unused space
7 in the '.' and '..' directory entries are cleared when
8 e2image -rs is specified.
10 2005-01-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
12 * tune2fs.8.in: Clarified man page about the -c option.
14 2005-01-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
16 * blkid.c (main): Make blkid -t display all devices that match the
17 specified criteria, not just the first one. (Addresses
20 2005-01-20 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
22 * filefrag.c (frag_report): Fix filefrag so that it works
23 correctly with sparse files; unallocated blocks should not
24 be treated as a discontinuity.
26 2005-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
28 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, set_os): Interpret OS Creator values for
31 2005-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
33 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for the -s option which
34 scrambles directory entries for raw image files.
36 2005-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
38 * tune2fs.c: On Solaris, defining _XOPEN_SOURCE inexplicably
39 causes struct timeval to be undefined, breaking system
40 header files left and right. But glibc requires
41 _XOPEN_SOURCE in order for strptime() to be defined. So
42 don't define _XOPEN_SOURCE on Solaris systems.
44 * filefrag.c (frag_report): Applied patch from Francois Petillon
45 (fantec at proxad.net) to avoid a file descriptor leak.
47 2005-01-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
49 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr): Increase the number of spaces reserved
50 for printing block numbers, so we can correctly display
51 block numbers numbers greater than 999,999,999.
52 (Addresses SourceForge bug #1016163)
54 * tune2fs.c (main): When specifying the number of reservered
55 blocks that can only be allocated by root, enforce a 50%
56 limit so that the user can't accidentally make a
57 superblock which e2fsck will think is insane.
59 2005-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
61 * fsck.c (PRS): Apply Fedora's e2fsprogs-1.35-progress.patch from
62 e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2. Fixed multiple command-line parsing
63 bugs so that backwards compatibility is maintained, and so
64 that certain command-line options wouldn't be ignored.
66 * mke2fs.c (parse_extended_opts): Rename the -R option to -E. Fix
67 the resize= raid/extended option so it actually works.
68 (The patch from Fedora e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2 claimed it
69 worked, but it was a placebo option, despite the claim
70 that it worked in the usage message.)
72 * e2initrd_helper.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
74 * e2image.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall nits. Fix e2image so that
75 e2image -I has an exit code of 0 when it is successful.
77 * mke2fs.c (PRS, parse_r_opts): Use parse_num_blocks() from the
78 e2p library to parse the number of blocks from the command
81 2004-12-23 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
83 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): If reserved GDT blocks are present,
84 display them along with the other filesystem meta blocks.
86 2004-12-22 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
88 * fsck.c (main): Check return from malloc of fsck_path string.
90 2004-12-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
92 * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Fix minor buglet; the parse_time routine
93 should use the passed-in argument, not optarg, even though
94 the two are the same in the case of the current caller of
97 2004-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
99 * mke2fs.c: Applied resize inode patch from Andreas Dilger to add
100 support for creating filesystems with reserved space for
103 2004-12-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
105 * Makefile.in: Move strip command to install-strip target.
106 Use Linux-kernel-style makefile output for "make install"
108 * Makefile.in (installdirs): Use $(MKINSTALLDIRS) macro
110 2004-12-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
112 * e2image.8.in: Fix minor glitches in man page.
114 2004-11-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
116 * Makefile.in: Delete e2initrd_helper when doing a make clean.
118 * tune2fs.c: If there is a question mark in the device name,
119 separate out the options to the IO layer, and pass it on
122 * Makefile.in: Use Linux-kernel-style makefile output to make it
123 easier to see errors/warnings.
125 2004-11-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
127 * mke2fs.8.in: Removed the word "destructive" when describing the
128 read-write test, since it can confuse people.
130 2004-10-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
132 * mke2fs.8.in: Add an explanation about why reserved blocks in a
133 filesystem is a good thing.
135 2004-09-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
137 * badblocks.8.in: Document the default block size. (Addresses
140 2004-09-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
142 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): Only use blocksizes > 4k on Linux
143 2.6 and newer systems. (Addresses Debian Bug #271064)
145 2004-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
147 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Avoid double // when listing the
148 root directory, or when there is a trailing '/' in the
149 directory name. (Addresses Debian Bug #272943)
151 * Makefile.in: Make sure /usr/lib is created for when we install
154 2004-09-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
156 * badblocks.c: Use _() around done_string, so that it gets
157 correctly translated. (Addresses Debian Bug #252836)
159 * tune2fs.8.in: Add a description of the .journal file, why it
160 is created, and how e2fsck converts it to an invisible
161 journal. (Addresses Debian Bug #256760)
163 2004-09-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
165 * e2initrd_helper.c: New program which allows initrd scripts to
166 check on the contents of /etc/fstab without (a) needing to
167 mount the root filesystem, and (b) needing /bin/awk in the
168 initrd environment. (Addresses Debian Bug #247775)
170 2004-09-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
172 * tune2fs.8.in: Mention that e2fsck -D might be useful after
173 setting the dir_index filesystem feature. (Addresses
176 2004-07-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
178 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add new option -I which allows the
179 administrator to install an metadata stored in an e2image
180 file to a filesystem. Obviously, this can be very
183 2004-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
185 * Makefile.in (mke2fs.static): Add the blkid library to so
186 mke2fs.static builds correctly.
188 2004-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
190 * tune2fs.8.in: Fixed spelling error (Addresses Debian Bug #242995)

193 (Addresses Debian Bug #241940)
195 2004-04-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
197 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): If the compatibility bitmasks
198 were not modified, don't set the superblock dirty bit.
200 2004-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
202 * Makefile.in: Update the modtime even if subst doesn't need to
203 update the man pages, to avoid always re-running
204 subst, especially since there are no dependencies on these
207 2004-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
209 * blkid.c: Remove the partially implemented -p option (it never
210 did anything, but was documented in the man page and the
213 2004-03-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
215 * blkid.c (main, print_tags): Add new option -o which allows the
216 user to control the output format of blkid.
218 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix spelling typos (Addresses Debian Bug #238741)
220 2004-03-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
222 * e2image.8.in: Update manpage to detail that writing to stdout is
223 currently only supported when writing a raw image dump.
224 (Addresses Debian bug #236383)
226 2004-03-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
228 * logsave.c (main): Use setsid() to avoid getting killed by init
229 (run_program): Add a newline after reporting the exit code
230 or signal when the program exits.
232 2004-02-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
234 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.35
236 2004-02-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
238 * badblocks.c (main): Change the default number of blocks tested
239 at once from 16 to 64. (Addresses Debian bug #232240)
241 2004-02-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
243 * filefrag.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
245 * badblocks.c (pattern_fill): Fix bug accidentally added when
246 fixing up gcc -Wall nits. badblocks -t random was not
247 getting handled properly because ~0 needed to be cast to
248 an unsigned long instead of an unsigned char. (Addresses
251 2004-02-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
253 * fsck.c (execute): Use '&&' instead of '&'. (It didn't cause a
254 problem because we got lucky, but let's do things right.
255 Fix from Thomas Woerner at Red Hat.)
257 2004-02-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
259 * filefrag.c: Use #ifdef __linux__ instead of __LINUX__ so that it
260 actually compiles on Linux. (Addresses Debian bug
263 2004-01-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
265 * chattr.1.in: Clarify man page.
267 * chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mklost+found.8.in,
268 tune2fs.8.in: List Theodore Ts'o <tytso@alum.mit.edu> as
269 the current maintainer.
271 2004-01-20 root <tytso@mit.edu>
273 * chattr.c (main): Add support for '--' to stop options
274 processing. (Addresses Debian bug #225188).
276 2003-12-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
278 * chattr.1.in: Update text indicating the 'c', 's', and 'u'
279 attributes are not currently supported to remove any
280 mention of a specific kernel version. (Addresses Debian
283 * fsck.8.in: Update text describing "standard" options supported
284 by filesystem-specific checkers. (Addresses Debian bug
287 2003-12-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
289 * Makefile.in: Add filefrag program to the list of programs
290 installed in /usr/sbin.
292 2003-12-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@thunk.org>
294 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix some whitespace errors in the command synopsis.
296 2003-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

301 fsck.h, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, nls-enable.h, tune2fs.c,
302 util.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks.
304 2003-09-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
306 * tune2fs.c (parse_e2label_options, parse_tune2fs_options,
307 do_findfs): Check the returned name from blkid_get_devname and
308 print an error if the requested LABEL/UUID does not exist.
310 2003-09-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
312 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Use ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc to
313 determine the locations of the superblock and block group
316 2003-11-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
318 * util.c (check_plausibility): Support 2.6 kernel header files,
319 instead of having the build to crash. (Addresses Debian
322 2003-09-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
324 * mke2fs.c (progress_init, progress_update): If the environment
325 variable MKE2FS_SKIP_PROGRESS is set, then don't print out
326 a progress bar; for regression test support.
327 (PRS): If the environment variable MKE2FS_DEVICE_SECTSIZE
328 is set, then override the device sector size. Again for
329 regression test support.
330 (main): If the environment variable MKE2FS_SKIP_CHECK_MSG
331 is set, then skip printing an information messages about
332 when the filesystem will be checked, since this number is
333 random and screws up the regression test expect script.
335 2003-08-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
337 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): Fix bug which caused -T largefile or
338 -T largefile4 to core dump due to a division by zero
339 error. (Addressed Debian bug #207082)
341 2003-08-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
343 * dumpe2fs.8.in, e2image.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
344 tune2fs.8.in: Adjust description line so that apropos
345 "ext2" or "ext3" will find the man page. (Addresses
348 2003-08-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
350 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Add check to make sure the file
351 offset of the device is page aligned. (Addresses Debian
354 * badblocks.c (test_ro, test_rw): Add code to recover after an
355 error so that we continue reading on page-aligned
356 boundaries. (Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for
359 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
361 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.34
363 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
365 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add warning if using -j and the blocksize is
366 greater than 4096, since some kernels don't support ext3
367 with large block sizes. (Addresses Debian bug #193773)
369 * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Remove debugging printf. (Addresses
372 2003-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
374 * fsck.c (wait_many): Rename wait_all() to wait_many(), and have
375 new semantics: WAIT_ALL vs. WAIT_ATLEAST_ONE. This fixes
376 a bug where when fsck is waiting for another partition on
377 the same spindle, it spins wasting a lot of CPU.
379 2003-07-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
381 * badblocks.c (do_read, do_write, test_rw): Change the read/write
382 test to honor the -c option (number of blocks at a time).
383 do_read and do_write will try to turn on the O_DIRECT flag
384 if it appears that it is possible to use it. (Addresses
387 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): If sector_size is 0, don't use it to
388 set the blocksize to zero. This causes MD devices to fail
389 since they don't support the BLKSSZGET ioctl. (Addresses
392 2003-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
394 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main): If CONFIG_TESTIO_DEBUG, then use the
397 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Round down the default filesystem size so that
398 it is an even multiple of the page size, to work around
399 buffer cache kernel bug.
401 * badblocks.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (signed/unsigned type issues)
403 * blkid.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (missing #include <string.h>)
405 2003-05-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
407 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): If the sector size of the
408 device is larger than the default block size, then use the
409 sector size of the device as the default block size.
411 2003-05-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
413 * badblocks.c: Use an unsigned integer to support 4-byte test
414 patterns with the high bit set. Let the user explicitly
415 specify a random pattern with the argument "random".
417 2003-05-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
419 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Fix minor memory leak with test_rw() is
420 called for multiple passes.
421 (test_nd): Fix bug in chosing randomness for the
422 non-destructive test. We were only using 1 bit of
423 randomness per byte instead of 8 due to a bit-shift bug.
424 Also, initialize the random number generator from the time
425 in main(). Thanks to Thayne Harbaugh for pointing out
428 * badblocks.c, badblocks.8.in: Functional enhancements contributed
429 by Thayne Harbaugh. These patches allow the -t option to
430 control the test pattern(s) used when checking the disk.
431 Test patterns may be specified in all modes (r/w, r/o and
434 2003-05-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
436 * tune2fs.c (main, add_journal_device, remove_journal_device): If
437 --enable-testio-debug is set, then use the test_io manager
438 so we can watch what tune2fs is doing.
440 2003-05-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
442 * uuidgen.c (main): Add setup functions for NLS support.
444 * e2image.c (write_header), mke2fs.c (PRS): Add missing space in
447 * badblocks.c (usage), findsuper.c (main), util.c
448 (parse_journal_opts): Fix typo in usage string.
450 * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Add portability code to work around lack
453 * Makefile.in: Add $(LIBINTL) to the link line so we can support
454 using the internal gettext library.
456 * nls-enable.h: Add #ifndef protection around LOCALEDIR definition.
458 2003-04-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
460 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.33
462 2003-04-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
464 * Makefile.in (uuidgen): Avoid linking lsattr and chattr against
465 libext2fs, and avoid linking blkid against any of the ext2
468 2003-04-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
470 * Makefile.in (fsck): Fsck does not need to linked against the
471 ext2 libraries anymore.
473 2003-04-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
475 * fsck.c (main): Put stdout and stderr into non-buffered mode to
476 avoid cosmetic problems when running fsck under logsave.
478 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Avoid printing the version banner for mke2fs if
479 the -q option is specified. (Addresses Debian bug #172716)
481 * logsave.c: Add support for the -a option (only partially
482 implemented previously). Always log the command-line and
483 start and stop time to the log file. Add support for the
484 -s option, which skips text bracketed between control-A
485 and control-B characters.
487 2003-04-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
489 * logsave.c: New program which saves the output of a command in a
490 log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been
491 mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in
492 memory until it can write out the logfile).
494 2003-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
496 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the argument to -b is negative, treat it as a
497 minimum blocksize. (Feature requested by EVMS developers
498 for mainframe DASD's that do not support 1k blocksizes.)
500 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the -g option. (Addresses Debian bug #188318)
502 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug where mke2fs was incorrectly checking
503 the argument to the -g option, if the default block size
504 is used. (Addresses Debian bug #188319)
506 * tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Document the dir_index filesystem
507 feature which can be used with the -O option.
509 2003-04-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
511 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, interpret_type, fsck_device, ignore,
512 main): Don't evaluate the filesystem type when loading the
513 fstab file, since that might cause fsck to hang trying to
514 read from a floppy disk. (Addresses Debian bug #187812)
515 Add tmpfs and devpts to filesystems that should be
516 ignored, and add jfs, reseirfs, and xfs as filesystems
517 types where we should complain if we can't find the fsck
518 program for that filesystem type.
520 2003-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
522 * badblocks.c (bb_output): Flush output to the badblocks
523 output file as bad blocks are discovered.
525 2003-03-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
527 * chattr.1.in: Clarified the description of the 't' (no tail)
528 attribute. (Addresses Debian bug #185945)
530 2003-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
532 * fsck.c: And #ifdef protection around #include of malloc.h
534 2003-03-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
536 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Include blocks from slow
537 symbolic links in the raw image file.
539 2003-03-06 <tytso@mit.edu>
541 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, parse_e2label_options): Allow
542 the device name to be specified using LABEL=xxx or
543 UUID=xxx, since we're including the blkid library anyway.
544 (Addresses Debian bugs #166048, #179671)
546 * tune2fs.8.in, chattr.1.in: Minor man page fixes (Addresses
547 Debian bugs #175233, #175113, and #170497)
549 2003-03-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
551 * Makefile.in (DEPLIBS_BLKID): Use DEPLIBUUID, not LIBUUID to
552 avoid depending on -lsocket on Solaris.
554 2003-03-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
556 * fsck.c, util.c, tune2fs.c, Makefile.in: Use the blkid library
557 instead of the specialized functions in
558 get-device-by-label.c and fstype.c.
560 * base_device.c (base_device): Take a const char* as an argument.
562 * blkid.c: Remove deprecated -d option,
564 2003-02-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

572 * badblocks.8.in: Fix grammar nit.
574 2003-01-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
576 * blkid.c (main): Modify blkid to use the new libblkid public
579 2003-01-23 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

589 2002-11-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
591 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default;
592 the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not
593 the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards
594 compatibility support for dir_indexing removed.
596 2002-11-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
598 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.32
600 2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

612 2002-11-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
614 * chattr.c, chattr.1.in: Add support for a new inode flag, which
615 is to be used for indicating the top of directory
616 hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator.
618 2002-10-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
620 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Pay attention to
621 partitions returned in /proc/partitions that begin with
622 with the string "lvm".

626 * Makefile.in (install): Search all compression extensions when
627 deleting old man pages.
629 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix bug in algorithm which determined
630 which blocks are used as backup superblock and block group
633 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug which checked the tmp pointer
634 erreoneously (and needlessly).
636 2002-10-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
638 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
639 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
640 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
641 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
644 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
646 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
647 if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
648 will still print out the contents of the block group
651 2002-10-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
653 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), mke2fs.c (PRS), e2image.c

657 2002-10-15 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
659 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (update_mntopts, main): Add new option
660 'o' which allows the system administrator to specify
661 default mount options.
663 2002-10-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
665 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Use a 16k buffer to
666 read in /proc/partitions in one go.
668 * badblocks.c, fsck.c, fstype.c, get_device_by_label.c,
669 tune2fs.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
671 2002-10-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
673 * mklost+found.c (main): Make sure the lost+found directory is
674 created with 0700 permissions.
676 2002-10-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
678 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Handle a bad block in the
679 inode table correctly.
681 2002-09-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
683 * get_device_by_label.c: Applied sourceforge patch #613447, which
684 adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
687 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
688 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows
689 badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
690 CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.
692 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
694 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
695 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
696 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
697 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
699 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
701 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
703 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
705 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
706 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
707 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
708 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
709 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
711 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
713 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
715 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to
716 be set. If so, set the default hash to be TEA, and
717 initialize the hash seed to a random value.
719 2002-09-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
721 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Fix bug which caused
722 LABEL='xxx' to not work correctly when using LVM.
723 (Reversed sense of error check reported by ateeq@hotpop.com)
725 2001-08-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
727 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.28
729 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
731 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
733 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
734 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
735 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
737 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
738 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
739 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
740 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
743 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
746 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
747 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
749 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive
750 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
753 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
754 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
755 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)
757 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page, and clarified text regarding
758 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
761 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
762 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
765 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
767 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
768 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
770 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
772 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
774 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
775 child fsck processes.
777 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
779 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
780 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
781 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
783 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
785 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
786 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
787 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
789 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
791 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)

800 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
802 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
804 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
805 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
807 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
809 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
810 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
811 is larger than the system's page size according to the
812 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
813 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
814 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
817 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
819 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
821 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
823 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
825 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
827 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
828 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
830 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
832 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
833 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
835 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
837 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
838 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
840 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
842 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
843 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
844 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
845 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
846 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
848 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
850 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
853 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
855 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
856 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
857 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
858 installing the man pages.
860 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
862 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
864 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
866 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
867 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
870 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
873 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
875 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26

879 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
882 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
883 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
884 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
886 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
888 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
889 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
890 envrionment variable.
892 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
894 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>

898 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
900 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
901 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
904 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
906 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
907 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
908 the last checked time on the filesystem.
910 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
912 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
913 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
916 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
917 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
918 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
920 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
921 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
923 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
924 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
925 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
926 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
927 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
929 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
931 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
932 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
933 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
934 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
935 include search path.)
937 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
939 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
940 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
941 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
944 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
946 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
947 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
948 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
950 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
952 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
953 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
954 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
955 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
956 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
958 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
959 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
961 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
964 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
966 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
967 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
968 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
970 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
972 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
975 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
977 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
978 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
980 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
982 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
985 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
987 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
988 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
989 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
990 into a real device name.
992 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
994 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
995 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
996 calls are a good thing. <g>
998 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1000 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
1002 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.

1006 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
1008 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1010 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
1013 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
1014 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
1016 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
1018 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
1021 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
1023 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
1025 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>

1033 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1035 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
1037 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
1038 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
1039 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
1041 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1043 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
1044 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
1045 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
1046 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
1047 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
1048 small device (less than 64 blocks).
1050 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1052 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
1055 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
1056 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
1057 display, since it only confuses people.
1059 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1061 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
1064 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
1065 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
1066 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
1068 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1070 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
1071 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
1072 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
1073 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
1075 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
1076 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
1077 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
1078 in the ext2 superblock.
1080 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
1081 malloc'd in interpret spec.
1083 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1085 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
1087 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1089 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
1090 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
1093 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
1095 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
1096 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
1097 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
1098 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
1100 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
1101 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
1102 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
1104 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
1105 specified more than once.
1107 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1109 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
1110 text that erroneously implied that all features
1111 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
1114 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1116 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
1117 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
1118 should not be present.
1120 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
1122 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
1124 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
1125 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
1127 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1129 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
1130 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
1131 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
1132 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
1134 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1136 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
1137 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
1139 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1141 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
1142 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
1143 blocksize of the new filesystem.
1145 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1147 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
1148 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
1151 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1153 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
1154 of the filesystem to determines its type.
1156 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
1157 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
1159 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1161 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
1163 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1165 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.21
1167 2001-06-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1169 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
1172 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1174 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
1175 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
1176 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
1177 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
1178 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
1180 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
1181 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
1184 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
1185 specified to configure.
1187 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1189 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
1190 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
1192 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
1193 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
1196 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
1197 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
1198 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
1200 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1202 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
1203 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
1204 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
1206 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1208 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
1209 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.
1211 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1213 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20

1217 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
1219 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1221 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
1222 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
1223 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
1225 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
1226 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
1228 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1230 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
1231 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
1232 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
1233 for description of new -t semantics.
1235 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
1236 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
1237 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
1239 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
1240 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
1243 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1245 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
1246 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
1247 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
1249 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
1252 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
1254 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
1255 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
1257 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1259 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
1261 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
1262 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
1264 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1266 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
1267 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
1268 value depending on if superblock features are set.
1270 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1272 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
1274 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
1275 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
1276 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
1278 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
1281 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1283 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
1285 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1287 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
1288 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
1290 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
1291 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
1292 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
1294 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
1295 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
1297 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1299 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
1301 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
1302 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
1303 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
1305 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
1306 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
1309 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
1312 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1314 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
1315 the base device, we should assume that the device is
1316 already active in order to force serialization.
1318 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1320 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
1321 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
1322 more sense to users.
1324 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1326 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
1327 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
1328 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
1329 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
1330 from journal device.
1331 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
1332 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
1333 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
1335 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1337 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
1338 documentation for the extern journal device support.
1340 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
1343 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1345 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
1346 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
1348 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
1349 number to be treated as a journal size.
1351 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
1354 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
1355 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
1356 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
1357 entire device to get zero'ed.
1359 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1361 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
1362 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
1365 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
1367 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
1368 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
1369 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
1370 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
1371 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
1372 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
1373 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
1374 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
1375 using the absolute size of the journal.
1377 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1379 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
1380 Also handle the case where the default journal size
1381 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
1382 the filesystem will be checked.
1384 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1386 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
1388 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
1390 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
1393 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
1394 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
1397 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
1398 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
1400 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1402 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
1403 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
1404 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
1405 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
1406 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
1407 with the rest of the options out there.)
1409 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
1410 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
1411 from the external journal's filesystem list.
1413 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
1414 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
1415 given a filesystem size.
1417 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
1420 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
1421 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
1423 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1425 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
1426 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
1427 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
1429 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
1430 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
1431 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
1432 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
1433 have been created via separate step.
1435 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
1436 information about an external journal device.
1438 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1440 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
1441 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
1442 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
1443 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
1444 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
1445 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
1446 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
1447 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
1449 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
1451 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
1452 stdout after printing in-progress message.
1453 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
1454 the mount status of the device.
1456 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1458 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
1459 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
1460 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
1461 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
1462 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
1464 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
1467 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
1469 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1471 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
1472 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
1473 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
1475 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1477 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
1480 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
1481 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
1484 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
1486 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
1487 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
1489 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1491 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
1492 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
1493 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
1494 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
1496 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
1497 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
1498 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
1500 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
1501 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
1503 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1505 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
1506 struct ext2_super_block.
1508 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
1509 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
1510 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
1511 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
1512 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
1513 using our own version now).
1515 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1517 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
1518 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
1519 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
1520 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
1521 the parallel_root option.
1523 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
1524 the file attributes.
1526 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
1527 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
1529 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
1530 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
1531 support for the journaled data flag.
1533 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
1535 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1537 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
1539 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
1540 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
1542 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1544 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
1547 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
1548 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
1549 instead of core dumping.
1551 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1553 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
1554 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
1555 journal creation routines for this purpose.
1557 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
1558 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
1560 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
1561 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
1563 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1565 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
1566 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
1569 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
1570 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
1572 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
1574 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1576 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
1577 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
1580 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
1581 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
1582 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
1583 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
1586 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
1587 group names to uid's before storing them in the
1588 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
1590 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1592 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
1593 option=argument style options, and add support for
1594 creating filesystems with external journals.
1596 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
1598 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1600 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
1601 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
1603 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1605 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
1606 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
1609 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
1612 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
1613 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
1616 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
1617 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
1620 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1622 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
1625 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
1627 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
1628 systems with four IDE interfaces.
1630 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
1632 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1635 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1636 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1638 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1640 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1641 we can't find the device using the name given by
1642 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1643 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1645 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1647 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1648 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1649 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1651 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1653 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1655 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1657 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1658 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1660 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1662 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1663 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1665 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1667 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1669 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1671 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1672 are mutually exclusive.
1674 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1675 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1676 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1679 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1680 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1681 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1682 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1683 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1684 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1685 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1686 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1689 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1690 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1691 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1692 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1695 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1697 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1698 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1699 the progress bar display logic.
1701 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1702 max_mount_count is negative.
1704 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1705 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1708 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1709 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1710 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1711 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1712 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1713 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1715 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1716 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1717 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1719 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1720 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1721 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1724 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1725 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1726 device as a default.
1728 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1730 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1731 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1732 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1733 old, overly complicated logic.
1734 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1735 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1736 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1738 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1740 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1741 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1742 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1743 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1745 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1747 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1748 or LABEL= specification is given.
1750 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1751 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1752 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1753 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1754 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1755 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1757 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1758 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1759 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1760 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1761 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1763 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1765 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1766 support fdatasync().
1768 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1770 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1771 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1772 manually define optarg and optind.
1774 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1777 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1778 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1779 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1780 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1782 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1783 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1785 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1787 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1790 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1792 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1794 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1796 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1797 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1799 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1800 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1801 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1802 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1805 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1806 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1807 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1809 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1811 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1812 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1813 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1814 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1815 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1817 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1818 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1819 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1820 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1821 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1822 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1824 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1826 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1828 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1829 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1830 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1831 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1832 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1834 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1835 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1837 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1839 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1841 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1842 document the -s option.
1844 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1846 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1847 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1848 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1849 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1851 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1852 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1853 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1854 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1855 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1856 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1857 Finally, the original data is written back.
1859 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1860 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1861 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1862 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1863 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1864 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1865 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1866 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1867 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1868 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1869 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1870 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1871 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1872 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1873 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1875 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1876 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1877 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1880 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1881 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1883 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1884 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1885 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1886 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1887 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1888 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1890 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1891 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1892 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1893 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1894 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1895 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1896 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1897 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1900 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1901 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1902 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1903 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1904 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1905 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1906 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1907 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1908 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1909 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1910 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1911 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1912 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1913 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1914 completely reliable.
1916 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1917 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1918 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1919 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1920 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1921 for your information.
1923 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1924 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1925 which I install which will write back whatever original
1926 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1927 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1929 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1930 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1931 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1932 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1933 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1934 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1935 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1936 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1937 should be in the distribution."
1939 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1941 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1942 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1943 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1945 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1947 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1948 option is properly named.
1950 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1952 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1953 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1954 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1956 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1958 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1959 the source directory.
1961 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1963 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1965 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1967 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1968 filesystem option is properly named.
1970 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1972 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1973 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1974 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1976 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1978 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1980 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1982 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1983 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1984 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1986 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1987 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1988 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1989 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1991 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1992 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1993 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1996 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1997 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1998 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1999 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
2002 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
2003 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
2005 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
2007 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
2009 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
2010 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
2011 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
2013 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
2014 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
2017 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
2019 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
2021 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
2023 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
2024 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
2025 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
2026 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
2028 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
2029 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
2030 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
2031 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
2033 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
2035 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
2036 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
2037 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
2038 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
2039 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
2041 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
2043 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
2044 changing the sparse superblock option
2046 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
2047 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
2048 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
2051 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
2053 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
2054 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
2056 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
2058 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
2061 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
2064 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
2065 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
2068 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
2071 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
2073 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
2076 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
2078 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
2080 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2082 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
2083 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
2084 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
2085 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
2086 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
2087 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
2088 the filesystem the system would make.
2090 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
2092 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
2093 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
2094 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
2095 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
2096 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
2098 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
2100 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
2101 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
2102 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
2104 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
2106 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
2107 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
2109 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
2111 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
2112 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
2113 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
2114 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
2115 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
2116 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
2118 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
2119 UUID=bar type specifications.
2121 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
2123 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
2124 clear out a large block number.
2126 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
2128 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
2129 appears mounted if the force option is given.
2131 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
2133 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
2134 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
2136 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2138 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
2141 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2143 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
2144 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
2145 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
2146 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
2148 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
2150 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
2153 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2155 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
2156 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
2158 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2160 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
2161 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
2162 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
2163 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
2165 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2167 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
2168 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
2169 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
2170 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
2171 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
2172 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
2174 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2176 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
2177 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
2178 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
2179 fsck pass structure.
2180 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
2181 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
2184 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2186 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
2188 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2190 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
2193 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2195 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
2196 needs to be treated as zero.
2198 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2200 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
2201 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
2203 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
2204 program if the -V option is given.
2206 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
2207 through a directory.
2209 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2211 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
2212 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
2214 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
2215 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
2217 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2219 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
2220 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
2222 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2224 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
2226 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2228 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
2229 seperated", instead of common separated)
2231 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2233 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
2235 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2237 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
2238 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
2239 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
2241 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2243 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
2245 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
2246 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that

2271 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
2273 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
2274 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,

2290 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
2291 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs

2310 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
2313 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
2314 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
2315 that the label will be truncated.
2317 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
2318 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
2319 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

2360 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
2361 to fix a -Wall warning.
2363 Mon Sep 15 22:07:12 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2366 * mklost+found.c (main):
2368 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
2370 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
2371 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
2372 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
2375 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

2389 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
2390 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
2391 80 columns when making a really big disk.
2393 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2395 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
2396 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
2397 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
2399 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
2400 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
2401 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
2403 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>

2407 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
2409 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
2410 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
2411 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
2412 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
2415 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
2416 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
2418 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
2420 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
2421 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13

2448 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
2450 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
2451 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
2452 sparse superblock flag is set.
2453 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
2454 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
2457 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

2480 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
2483 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2485 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
2487 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
2489 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2491 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that

2524 mostly for debugging.
2526 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2528 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.

2539 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
2541 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2544 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
2545 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
2546 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
2549 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
2550 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
2551 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
2552 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
2555 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
2557 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
2558 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
2559 and no version number is specified.
2561 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2563 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
2565 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2567 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2

2572 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
2574 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2576 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
2577 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
2579 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2581 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
2583 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
2586 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2588 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
2589 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
2590 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
2591 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
2592 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
2593 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
2594 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
2595 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
2598 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2600 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
2602 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2604 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
2605 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
2608 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2610 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
2611 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
2612 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
2613 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
2614 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
2616 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2618 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
2621 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2623 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
2624 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
2626 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2628 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
2630 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2632 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
2633 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
2634 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
2636 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2638 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
2641 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2643 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
2644 function to determine if the device is mounted.
2646 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
2647 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
2648 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
2649 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
2651 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2653 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
2654 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
2655 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
2658 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2667 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
2669 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2671 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
2672 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
2673 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
2676 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
2678 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2680 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2681 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
2682 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
2684 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2686 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2687 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2688 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2689 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2692 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2693 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
2694 alloca is not portable!
2696 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
2697 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2700 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
2702 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
2704 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
2707 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
2709 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2710 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
2712 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2714 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2715 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
2717 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2719 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2721 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2722 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2724 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2726 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2728 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
2729 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
2730 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
2731 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2733 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
2734 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2735 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2736 statically sized buffer.
2737 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2738 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2740 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2741 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2742 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2743 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2744 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2746 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2747 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2748 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2749 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2752 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2753 support separate compilation directories.
2755 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2757 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2758 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2759 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2760 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2762 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2763 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2764 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2765 very large partition.
2767 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2768 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2769 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2771 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2772 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2773 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2774 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2775 ioctl, which most do.)
2777 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2778 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2779 during 0.5b development.)
2781 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2783 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2784 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2785 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2786 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2789 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2790 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2791 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2793 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2795 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2797 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2798 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2799 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2801 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2803 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2805 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2807 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2809 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2810 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2811 all partitions should be checked.
2813 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2815 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2818 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2821 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2823 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2824 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2826 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2828 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2830 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2832 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2835 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2837 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2839 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2841 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2843 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2845 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2847 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2848 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2849 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2850 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2851 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2853 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2854 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2855 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2856 statistics if necessary.
