1 2003-04-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
3 * Makefile.in (uuidgen): Avoid linking lsattr and chattr against
4 libext2fs, and avoid linking blkid against any of the ext2
7 2003-04-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
9 * Makefile.in (fsck): Fsck does not need to linked against the
10 ext2 libraries anymore.
12 2003-04-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
14 * fsck.c (main): Put stdout and stderr into non-buffered mode to
15 avoid cosmetic problems when running fsck under logsave.
17 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Avoid printing the version banner for mke2fs if
18 the -q option is specified. (Addresses Debian bug #172716)
20 * logsave.c: Add support for the -a option (only partially
21 implemented previously). Always log the command-line and
22 start and stop time to the log file. Add support for the
23 -s option, which skips text bracketed between control-A
24 and control-B characters.
26 2003-04-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
28 * logsave.c: New program which saves the output of a command in a
29 log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been
30 mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in
31 memory until it can write out the logfile).
33 2003-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
35 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the argument to -b is negative, treat it as a
36 minimum blocksize. (Feature requested by EVMS developers
37 for mainframe DASD's that do not support 1k blocksizes.)
39 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the -g option. (Addresses Debian bug #188318)
41 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug where mke2fs was incorrectly checking
42 the argument to the -g option, if the default block size
43 is used. (Addresses Debian bug #188319)
45 * tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Document the dir_index filesystem
46 feature which can be used with the -O option.
48 2003-04-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
50 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, interpret_type, fsck_device, ignore,
51 main): Don't evaluate the filesystem type when loading the
52 fstab file, since that might cause fsck to hang trying to
53 read from a floppy disk. (Addresses Debian bug #187812)
54 Add tmpfs and devpts to filesystems that should be
55 ignored, and add jfs, reseirfs, and xfs as filesystems
56 types where we should complain if we can't find the fsck
57 program for that filesystem type.
59 2003-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
61 * badblocks.c (bb_output): Flush output to the badblocks
62 output file as bad blocks are discovered.
64 2003-03-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
66 * chattr.1.in: Clarified the description of the 't' (no tail)
67 attribute. (Addresses Debian bug #185945)
69 2003-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
71 * fsck.c: And #ifdef protection around #include of malloc.h
73 2003-03-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
75 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Include blocks from slow
76 symbolic links in the raw image file.
78 2003-03-06 <tytso@mit.edu>
80 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, parse_e2label_options): Allow
81 the device name to be specified using LABEL=xxx or
82 UUID=xxx, since we're including the blkid library anyway.
83 (Addresses Debian bugs #166048, #179671)
85 * tune2fs.8.in, chattr.1.in: Minor man page fixes (Addresses
86 Debian bugs #175233, #175113, and #170497)
88 2003-03-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
90 * Makefile.in (DEPLIBS_BLKID): Use DEPLIBUUID, not LIBUUID to
91 avoid depending on -lsocket on Solaris.
93 2003-03-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
95 * fsck.c, util.c, tune2fs.c, Makefile.in: Use the blkid library
96 instead of the specialized functions in
97 get-device-by-label.c and fstype.c.
99 * base_device.c (base_device): Take a const char* as an argument.
101 * blkid.c: Remove deprecated -d option,
103 2003-02-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
105 * blkid.c: Update to reflect renaming of blkid_get_devname() to
106 blkid_get_dev(), and blkid_get_token() to
109 2003-01-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
111 * badblocks.8.in: Fix grammar nit.
113 2003-01-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

124 * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, parse_escape): Add support for
125 backslash escaping in /etc/fstab. (i.e., so that \040
128 2002-11-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
130 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default;
131 the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not
132 the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards
133 compatibility support for dir_indexing removed.
135 2002-11-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
137 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.32
139 2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

149 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.30
151 2002-11-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
153 * chattr.c, chattr.1.in: Add support for a new inode flag, which
154 is to be used for indicating the top of directory
155 hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator.
157 2002-10-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
159 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Pay attention to
160 partitions returned in /proc/partitions that begin with
161 with the string "lvm".
163 2002-10-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
165 * Makefile.in (install): Search all compression extensions when
166 deleting old man pages.
168 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix bug in algorithm which determined
169 which blocks are used as backup superblock and block group
172 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug which checked the tmp pointer
173 erreoneously (and needlessly).
175 2002-10-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
177 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
178 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
179 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
180 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
183 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
185 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
186 if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
187 will still print out the contents of the block group
190 2002-10-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
192 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), mke2fs.c (PRS), e2image.c

196 2002-10-15 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
198 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (update_mntopts, main): Add new option
199 'o' which allows the system administrator to specify
200 default mount options.
202 2002-10-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
204 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Use a 16k buffer to
205 read in /proc/partitions in one go.
207 * badblocks.c, fsck.c, fstype.c, get_device_by_label.c,
208 tune2fs.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
210 2002-10-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
212 * mklost+found.c (main): Make sure the lost+found directory is
213 created with 0700 permissions.
215 2002-10-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
217 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Handle a bad block in the
218 inode table correctly.
220 2002-09-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
222 * get_device_by_label.c: Applied sourceforge patch #613447, which
223 adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
226 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
227 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows
228 badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
229 CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.
231 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
233 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
234 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
235 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
236 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
238 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
240 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
242 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
244 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
245 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
246 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
247 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
248 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
250 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
252 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
254 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to
255 be set. If so, set the default hash to be TEA, and
256 initialize the hash seed to a random value.
258 2002-09-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
260 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Fix bug which caused
261 LABEL='xxx' to not work correctly when using LVM.

264 2001-08-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
266 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.28
268 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
270 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
272 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
273 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
274 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
276 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
277 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
278 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
279 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
282 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
285 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
286 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
288 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive
289 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
292 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
293 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
294 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)
296 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page, and clarified text regarding
297 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
300 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
301 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
304 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
306 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
307 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
309 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
311 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
313 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
314 child fsck processes.
316 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
318 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
319 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
320 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
322 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
324 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
325 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
326 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
328 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
330 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)

334 * chattr.c: Applied patch from Andrew to support the dirsync flag.
336 2002-05-22 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
338 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): make the default inode ratio at most
339 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
341 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
343 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
344 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
346 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
348 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
349 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
350 is larger than the system's page size according to the
351 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
352 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
353 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
356 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
358 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
360 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
362 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
364 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
366 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
367 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
369 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
371 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
372 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
374 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
376 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
377 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
379 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
381 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
382 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
383 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
384 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
385 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
387 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
389 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
392 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
394 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
395 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
396 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
397 installing the man pages.
399 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
401 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
403 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
405 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
406 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
409 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
412 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
414 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26
416 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
418 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
421 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
422 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
423 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
425 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
427 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
428 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
429 envrionment variable.
431 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
433 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
435 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
437 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
439 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
440 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
443 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
445 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
446 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
447 the last checked time on the filesystem.
449 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
451 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
452 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
455 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
456 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
457 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
459 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
460 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
462 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
463 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
464 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
465 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
466 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
468 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
470 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
471 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
472 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
473 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
474 include search path.)
476 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
478 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
479 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
480 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
483 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
485 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
486 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
487 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
489 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
491 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
492 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
493 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
494 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
495 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
497 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
498 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
500 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
503 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
505 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
506 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
507 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
509 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
511 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
514 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
516 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
517 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
519 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
521 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
524 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
526 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
527 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
528 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
529 into a real device name.
531 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
533 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
534 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
535 calls are a good thing. <g>
537 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
539 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
541 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
543 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
545 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
547 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
549 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
552 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
553 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
555 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
557 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
560 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
562 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
564 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
566 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.
568 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
570 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
572 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
574 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
576 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
577 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
578 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
580 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
582 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
583 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
584 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
585 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
586 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
587 small device (less than 64 blocks).
589 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
591 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
594 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
595 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
596 display, since it only confuses people.
598 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
600 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
603 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
604 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
605 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
607 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
609 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
610 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
611 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
612 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
614 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
615 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
616 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
617 in the ext2 superblock.
619 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
620 malloc'd in interpret spec.
622 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
624 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
626 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
628 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
629 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
632 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
634 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
635 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
636 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
637 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
639 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
640 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
641 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
643 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
644 specified more than once.
646 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
648 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
649 text that erroneously implied that all features
650 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
653 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
655 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
656 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
657 should not be present.
659 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
661 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
663 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
664 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
666 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
668 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
669 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
670 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
671 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
673 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
675 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
676 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
678 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
680 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
681 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
682 blocksize of the new filesystem.
684 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
686 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
687 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
690 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
692 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
693 of the filesystem to determines its type.
695 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
696 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
698 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
700 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
702 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

706 2001-06-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
708 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
711 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
713 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
714 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
715 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
716 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
717 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
719 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
720 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
723 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
724 specified to configure.
726 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
728 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
729 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
731 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
732 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
735 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
736 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
737 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
739 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
741 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
742 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
743 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
745 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
747 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
748 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.
750 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
752 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
754 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
756 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
758 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
760 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
761 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
762 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
764 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
765 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
767 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
769 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
770 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
771 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
772 for description of new -t semantics.
774 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
775 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
776 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
778 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
779 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
782 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
784 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
785 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
786 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
788 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
791 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
793 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
794 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
796 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
798 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
800 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
801 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
803 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
805 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
806 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
807 value depending on if superblock features are set.
809 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
811 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
813 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
814 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
815 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
817 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
820 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
822 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
824 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
826 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
827 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
829 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
830 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
831 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
833 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
834 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
836 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
838 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
840 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
841 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
842 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
844 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
845 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
848 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
851 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
853 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
854 the base device, we should assume that the device is
855 already active in order to force serialization.
857 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
859 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
860 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
863 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
865 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
866 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
867 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
868 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
870 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
871 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
872 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
874 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
876 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
877 documentation for the extern journal device support.
879 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
882 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
884 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
885 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
887 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
888 number to be treated as a journal size.
890 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
893 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
894 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
895 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
896 entire device to get zero'ed.
898 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
900 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
901 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
904 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
906 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
907 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
908 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
909 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
910 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
911 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
912 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
913 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
914 using the absolute size of the journal.
916 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
918 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
919 Also handle the case where the default journal size
920 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
921 the filesystem will be checked.
923 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
925 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
927 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
929 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
932 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
933 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
936 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
937 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
939 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
941 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
942 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
943 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
944 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
945 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
946 with the rest of the options out there.)
948 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
949 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
950 from the external journal's filesystem list.
952 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
953 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
954 given a filesystem size.
956 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
959 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
960 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
962 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
964 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
965 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
966 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
968 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
969 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
970 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
971 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
972 have been created via separate step.
974 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
975 information about an external journal device.
977 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
979 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
980 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
981 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
982 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
983 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
984 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
985 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
986 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
988 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
990 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
991 stdout after printing in-progress message.
992 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
993 the mount status of the device.
995 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
997 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
998 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
999 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
1000 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
1001 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
1003 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
1006 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
1008 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1010 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
1011 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
1012 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
1014 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1016 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
1019 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
1020 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
1023 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
1025 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
1026 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
1028 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1030 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
1031 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
1032 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
1033 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
1035 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
1036 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
1037 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
1039 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
1040 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
1042 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1044 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
1045 struct ext2_super_block.
1047 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
1048 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
1049 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
1050 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
1051 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
1052 using our own version now).
1054 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1056 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
1057 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
1058 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
1059 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
1060 the parallel_root option.
1062 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
1063 the file attributes.
1065 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
1066 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
1068 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
1069 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
1070 support for the journaled data flag.
1072 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
1074 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1076 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
1078 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
1079 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
1081 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1083 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
1086 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
1087 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
1088 instead of core dumping.
1090 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1092 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
1093 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
1094 journal creation routines for this purpose.
1096 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
1097 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
1099 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
1100 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
1102 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1104 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
1105 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
1108 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
1109 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
1111 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
1113 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1115 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
1116 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
1119 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
1120 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
1121 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
1122 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
1125 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
1126 group names to uid's before storing them in the
1127 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
1129 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1131 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
1132 option=argument style options, and add support for
1133 creating filesystems with external journals.
1135 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
1137 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1139 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
1140 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
1142 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1144 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
1145 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
1148 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
1151 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
1152 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
1155 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
1156 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
1159 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1161 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
1164 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
1166 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
1167 systems with four IDE interfaces.
1169 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
1171 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1174 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1175 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1177 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1179 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1180 we can't find the device using the name given by
1181 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1182 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1184 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1186 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1187 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1188 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1190 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1192 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1194 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1196 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1197 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1199 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1201 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1202 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1204 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1206 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1208 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1210 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1211 are mutually exclusive.
1213 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1214 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1215 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1218 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1219 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1220 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1221 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1222 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1223 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1224 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1225 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1228 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1229 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1230 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1231 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1234 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1236 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1237 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1238 the progress bar display logic.
1240 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1241 max_mount_count is negative.
1243 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1244 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1247 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1248 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1249 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1250 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1251 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1252 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1254 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1255 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1256 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1258 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1259 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1260 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1263 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1264 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1265 device as a default.
1267 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1269 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1270 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1271 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1272 old, overly complicated logic.
1273 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1274 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1275 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1277 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1279 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1280 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1281 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1282 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1284 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1286 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1287 or LABEL= specification is given.
1289 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1290 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1291 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1292 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1293 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1294 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1296 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1297 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1298 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1299 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1300 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1302 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1304 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1305 support fdatasync().
1307 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1309 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1310 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1311 manually define optarg and optind.
1313 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1316 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1317 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1318 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1319 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1321 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1322 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1324 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1326 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1329 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1331 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1333 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1335 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1336 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1338 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1339 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1340 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1341 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1344 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1345 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1346 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1348 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1350 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1351 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1352 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1353 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1354 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1356 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1357 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1358 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1359 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1360 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1361 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1363 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1365 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1367 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1368 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1369 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1370 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1371 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1373 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1374 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1376 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1378 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1380 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1381 document the -s option.
1383 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1385 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1386 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1387 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1388 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1390 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1391 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1392 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1393 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1394 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1395 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1396 Finally, the original data is written back.
1398 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1399 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1400 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1401 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1402 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1403 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1404 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1405 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1406 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1407 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1408 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1409 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1410 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1411 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1412 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1414 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1415 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1416 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1419 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1420 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1422 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1423 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1424 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1425 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1426 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1427 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1429 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1430 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1431 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1432 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1433 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1434 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1435 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1436 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1439 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1440 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1441 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1442 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1443 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1444 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1445 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1446 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1447 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1448 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1449 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1450 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1451 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1452 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1453 completely reliable.
1455 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1456 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1457 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1458 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1459 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1460 for your information.
1462 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1463 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1464 which I install which will write back whatever original
1465 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1466 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1468 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1469 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1470 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1471 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1472 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1473 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1474 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1475 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1476 should be in the distribution."
1478 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1480 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1481 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1482 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1484 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1486 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1487 option is properly named.
1489 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1491 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1492 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1493 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1495 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1497 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1498 the source directory.
1500 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1502 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1504 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1506 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1507 filesystem option is properly named.
1509 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1511 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1512 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1513 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1515 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1517 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1519 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1521 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1522 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1523 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1525 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1526 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1527 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1528 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1530 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1531 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1532 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1535 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1536 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1537 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1538 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1541 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1542 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1544 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1546 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1548 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1549 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1550 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1552 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1553 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1556 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1558 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1560 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1562 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1563 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1564 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1565 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1567 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1568 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1569 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1570 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1572 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1574 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1575 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1576 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1577 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1578 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1580 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1582 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1583 changing the sparse superblock option
1585 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1586 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1587 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1590 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1592 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1593 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1595 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1597 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1600 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1603 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1604 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1607 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1610 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1612 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1615 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1617 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1619 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1621 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1622 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1623 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1624 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1625 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1626 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1627 the filesystem the system would make.
1629 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1631 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1632 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1633 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1634 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1635 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1637 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1639 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1640 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1641 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1643 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1645 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1646 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1648 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1650 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1651 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1652 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1653 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1654 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1655 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1657 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1658 UUID=bar type specifications.
1660 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1662 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1663 clear out a large block number.
1665 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1667 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1668 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1670 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1672 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1673 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1675 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1677 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1680 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1682 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1683 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1684 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1685 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1687 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1689 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1692 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1706 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1707 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1708 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1709 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1710 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1711 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1713 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1715 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they

1718 fsck pass structure.
1719 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1720 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1723 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1765 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1767 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1768 seperated", instead of common separated)
1770 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1772 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1774 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1776 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1777 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1778 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1780 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1782 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.

1829 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1830 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1831 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1832 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.

1848 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1849 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1852 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1853 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1854 that the label will be truncated.
1856 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1857 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a

1951 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1954 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1955 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1957 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1959 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
1960 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13

2125 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2127 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
2128 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
2129 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
2130 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
2131 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
2132 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
2133 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
2134 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
2137 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2147 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2149 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
2150 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
2151 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
2152 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
2153 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
2155 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2172 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
2173 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
2175 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2177 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
2180 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2182 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
2183 function to determine if the device is mounted.
2185 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
2186 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
2187 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
2188 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
2190 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2192 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user

2217 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2219 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2220 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
2221 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
2223 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2225 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2226 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2227 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2228 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2231 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2232 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
2233 alloca is not portable!
2235 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
2236 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2239 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
2241 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
2243 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
2246 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
2248 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2249 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
2251 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2253 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2254 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
2256 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2258 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2260 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2261 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2263 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2265 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2267 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
2268 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
2269 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
2270 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2272 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
2273 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2274 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2275 statically sized buffer.
2276 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2277 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2279 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2280 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2281 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2282 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2283 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2285 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2286 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2287 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2288 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2291 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2292 support separate compilation directories.
2294 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2296 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2297 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2298 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2299 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2301 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2302 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2303 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2304 very large partition.
2306 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2307 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2308 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2310 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2311 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2312 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2313 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2314 ioctl, which most do.)
2316 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2317 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2318 during 0.5b development.)
2320 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2322 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2323 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2324 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2325 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2328 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2329 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2330 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2332 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2334 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2336 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2337 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2338 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2340 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2342 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2344 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2346 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2348 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2349 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2350 all partitions should be checked.
2352 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2354 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2357 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2360 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2362 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2363 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2365 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2367 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2369 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2371 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2374 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2376 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2378 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2380 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2382 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2384 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2386 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2387 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2388 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2389 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2390 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2392 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2393 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2394 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2395 statistics if necessary.
