1 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
3 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
4 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
6 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
8 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
9 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
10 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
11 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
12 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
13 with the rest of the options out there.)
15 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
16 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
17 from the external journal's filesystem list.
19 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
20 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
21 given a filesystem size.
23 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
26 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
27 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
29 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
31 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
32 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
33 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
35 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
36 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
37 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
38 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
39 have been created via separate step.
41 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
42 information about an external journal device.
44 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
46 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
47 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
48 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
49 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
50 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
51 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
52 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
53 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
55 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
57 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
58 stdout after printing in-progress message.
59 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
60 the mount status of the device.
62 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
64 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
65 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
66 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
67 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
68 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
70 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
73 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
75 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
77 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
78 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
79 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
81 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
83 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
86 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
87 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
90 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
92 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
93 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
95 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
97 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
98 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
99 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
100 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
102 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
103 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
104 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
106 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
107 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
109 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
111 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
112 struct ext2_super_block.
114 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
115 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
116 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
117 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
118 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
119 using our own version now).
121 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
123 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
124 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
125 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
126 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
127 the parallel_root option.
129 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
132 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
133 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
135 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
136 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
137 support for the journaled data flag.
139 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
141 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
143 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
145 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
146 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
148 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
150 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
153 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
154 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
155 instead of core dumping.
157 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
159 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
160 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
161 journal creation routines for this purpose.
163 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
164 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
166 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
167 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
169 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
171 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
172 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
175 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
176 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
178 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
180 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
182 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
183 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
186 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
187 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
188 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
189 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
192 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
193 group names to uid's before storing them in the
194 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
196 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
198 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
199 option=argument style options, and add support for
200 creating filesystems with external journals.
202 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
204 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
206 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
207 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
209 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
211 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
212 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
215 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
218 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
219 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
222 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
223 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
226 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
228 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
231 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
233 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
234 systems with four IDE interfaces.
236 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
238 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
241 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
242 the inode table location in non-hex format.
244 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
246 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
247 we can't find the device using the name given by
248 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
249 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
251 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
253 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
254 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
255 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
257 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
259 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
261 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
263 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
264 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
266 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
268 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
269 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
271 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
273 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
275 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
277 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
278 are mutually exclusive.
280 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
281 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
282 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
285 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
286 variable before going into the write verification loop.
287 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
288 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
289 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
290 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
291 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
292 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
295 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
296 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
297 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
298 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
301 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
303 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
304 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
305 the progress bar display logic.
307 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
308 max_mount_count is negative.
310 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
311 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
314 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
315 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
316 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
317 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
318 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
319 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
321 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
322 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
323 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
325 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
326 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
327 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
330 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
331 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
334 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
336 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
337 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
338 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
339 old, overly complicated logic.
340 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
341 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
342 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
344 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
346 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
347 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
348 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
349 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
351 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
353 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
354 or LABEL= specification is given.
356 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
357 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
358 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
359 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
360 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
361 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
363 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
364 proceed_question that was busted due to the
365 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
366 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
367 cleared of the previous question's newline.
369 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
371 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
374 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
376 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
377 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
378 manually define optarg and optind.
380 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
383 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
384 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
385 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
386 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
388 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
389 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
391 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
393 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
396 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
398 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
400 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
402 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
403 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
405 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
406 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
407 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
408 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
411 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
412 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
413 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
415 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
417 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
418 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
419 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
420 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
421 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
423 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
424 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
425 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
426 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
427 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
428 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
430 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
432 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
434 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
435 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
436 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
437 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
438 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
440 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
441 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
443 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
445 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
447 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
448 document the -s option.
450 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
452 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
453 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
454 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
455 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
457 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
458 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
459 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
460 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
461 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
462 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
463 Finally, the original data is written back.
465 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
466 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
467 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
468 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
469 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
470 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
471 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
472 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
473 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
474 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
475 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
476 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
477 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
478 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
479 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
481 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
482 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
483 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
486 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
487 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
489 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
490 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
491 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
492 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
493 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
494 and want the host hard drive to flush.
496 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
497 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
498 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
499 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
500 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
501 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
502 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
503 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
506 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
507 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
508 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
509 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
510 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
511 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
512 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
513 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
514 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
515 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
516 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
517 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
518 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
519 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
522 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
523 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
524 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
525 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
526 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
527 for your information.
529 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
530 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
531 which I install which will write back whatever original
532 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
533 (except SIGKILL, of course).
535 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
536 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
537 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
538 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
539 could learn how to update the manpage and other
540 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
541 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
542 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
543 should be in the distribution."
545 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
547 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
548 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
549 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
551 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
553 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
554 option is properly named.
556 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
558 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
559 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
560 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
562 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
564 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
565 the source directory.
567 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
569 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
571 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
573 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
574 filesystem option is properly named.
576 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
578 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
579 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
580 fsck -As can do so interactively.
582 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
584 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
586 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
588 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
589 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
590 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
592 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
593 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
594 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
595 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
597 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
598 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
599 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
602 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
603 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
604 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
605 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
608 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
609 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
611 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
613 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
615 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
616 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
617 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
619 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
620 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
623 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
625 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
627 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
629 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
630 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
631 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
632 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
634 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
635 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
636 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
637 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
639 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
641 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
642 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
643 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
644 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
645 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
647 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
649 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
650 changing the sparse superblock option
652 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
653 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
654 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
657 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
659 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
660 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
662 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
664 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
667 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
670 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
671 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
674 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
677 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
679 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
682 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
684 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
686 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
688 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
689 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
690 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
691 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
692 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
693 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
694 the filesystem the system would make.
696 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
698 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
699 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
700 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
701 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
702 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
704 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
706 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
707 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
708 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
710 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
712 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
713 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
715 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
717 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
718 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
719 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
720 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
721 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
722 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
724 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
725 UUID=bar type specifications.
727 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
729 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
730 clear out a large block number.
732 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
734 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
735 appears mounted if the force option is given.
737 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
739 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
740 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
742 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
744 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
747 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
749 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
750 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
751 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
752 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
754 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
756 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
759 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
761 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
762 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
764 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
766 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
767 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
768 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
769 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
771 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
773 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
774 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
775 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
776 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
777 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
778 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
780 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
782 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
783 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
784 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
786 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
787 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
790 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
792 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14

802 needs to be treated as zero.
804 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
806 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow the user to specify exactly how many
807 inodes he/she wishes.
809 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
810 program if the -V option is given.
812 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
815 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
817 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
818 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
820 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
821 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
823 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
825 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for

830 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
832 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
834 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
835 seperated", instead of common separated)
837 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
839 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
841 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
843 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
844 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
845 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
847 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
849 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.

893 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
895 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
896 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
897 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
898 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
899 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.

921 that the label will be truncated.
923 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
924 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
925 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
927 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
929 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning

1144 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
1145 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
1147 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1150 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1151 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1152 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1155 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1156 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1157 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1158 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1161 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1163 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1164 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1165 and no version number is specified.
1167 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1169 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
1171 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1173 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
1176 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1178 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1180 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1182 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1183 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1185 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1187 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1189 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1192 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1194 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1195 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1196 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1197 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1198 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1199 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1200 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1201 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1204 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1206 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1208 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1210 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1211 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1214 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1216 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1217 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1218 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1219 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1220 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1222 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1224 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1227 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1229 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1230 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1232 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1234 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1236 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1238 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1239 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1240 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1242 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1244 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1247 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1249 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1250 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1252 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1253 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1254 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1255 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1257 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1259 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1260 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1261 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1264 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1273 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1275 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1277 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1278 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1279 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1282 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1284 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1286 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1287 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
1288 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1290 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1292 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1293 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1294 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1295 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1298 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1299 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1300 alloca is not portable!
1302 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1303 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1306 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1308 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1310 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1313 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1315 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1316 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1318 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1320 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1321 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1323 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1325 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1327 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1328 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1330 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1332 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1334 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1335 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1336 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1337 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1339 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1340 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1341 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1342 statically sized buffer.
1343 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1344 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1346 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1347 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1348 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1349 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1350 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1352 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1353 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1354 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1355 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1358 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1359 support separate compilation directories.
1361 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1363 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1364 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1365 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1366 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1368 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1369 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1370 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1371 very large partition.
1373 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1374 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1375 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1377 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1378 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1379 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1380 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1381 ioctl, which most do.)
1383 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1384 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1385 during 0.5b development.)
1387 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1389 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1390 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1391 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1392 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1395 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1396 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1397 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1399 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1401 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1403 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1404 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1405 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1407 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1409 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1411 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1413 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1415 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1416 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1417 all partitions should be checked.
1419 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1421 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1424 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1427 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1429 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1430 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1432 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1434 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1436 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1438 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1441 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1443 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1445 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1447 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1449 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1451 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1453 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1454 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1455 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1456 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1457 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1459 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1460 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1461 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1462 statistics if necessary.
