18 symbolic links in the raw image file.
20 2003-03-06 <tytso@mit.edu>
22 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, parse_e2label_options): Allow
23 the device name to be specified using LABEL=xxx or
24 UUID=xxx, since we're including the blkid library anyway.
25 (Addresses Debian bugs #166048, #179671)
27 * tune2fs.8.in, chattr.1.in: Minor man page fixes (Addresses
28 Debian bugs #175233, #175113, and #170497)
30 2003-03-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
32 * Makefile.in (DEPLIBS_BLKID): Use DEPLIBUUID, not LIBUUID to
33 avoid depending on -lsocket on Solaris.
35 2003-03-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
37 * fsck.c, util.c, tune2fs.c, Makefile.in: Use the blkid library
38 instead of the specialized functions in
39 get-device-by-label.c and fstype.c.
41 * base_device.c (base_device): Take a const char* as an argument.
43 * blkid.c: Remove deprecated -d option,

70 2002-11-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
72 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default;
73 the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not
74 the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards
75 compatibility support for dir_indexing removed.
77 2002-11-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
79 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.32
81 2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

93 2002-11-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
95 * chattr.c, chattr.1.in: Add support for a new inode flag, which
96 is to be used for indicating the top of directory
97 hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator.
99 2002-10-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
101 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Pay attention to
102 partitions returned in /proc/partitions that begin with
103 with the string "lvm".

115 erreoneously (and needlessly).
117 2002-10-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
119 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
120 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
121 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
122 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
125 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
127 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
128 if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
129 will still print out the contents of the block group
132 2002-10-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
134 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), mke2fs.c (PRS), e2image.c

138 2002-10-15 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
140 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (update_mntopts, main): Add new option
141 'o' which allows the system administrator to specify
142 default mount options.
144 2002-10-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
146 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Use a 16k buffer to
147 read in /proc/partitions in one go.
149 * badblocks.c, fsck.c, fstype.c, get_device_by_label.c,
150 tune2fs.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
152 2002-10-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
154 * mklost+found.c (main): Make sure the lost+found directory is
155 created with 0700 permissions.
157 2002-10-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
159 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Handle a bad block in the
160 inode table correctly.
162 2002-09-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

165 adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
168 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
169 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows
170 badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
171 CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.
173 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
175 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
176 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
177 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
178 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
180 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
182 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
184 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
186 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
187 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
188 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
189 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
190 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
192 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
194 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
196 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to
197 be set. If so, set the default hash to be TEA, and
198 initialize the hash seed to a random value.
200 2002-09-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
202 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Fix bug which caused
203 LABEL='xxx' to not work correctly when using LVM.

210 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
212 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
214 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
215 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
216 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
218 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
219 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
220 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
221 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
224 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
227 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
228 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
230 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive
231 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
234 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
235 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
236 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)
238 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page, and clarified text regarding
239 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
242 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
243 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
246 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
248 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
249 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
251 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
253 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
255 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
256 child fsck processes.
258 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
260 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
261 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
262 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
264 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
266 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
267 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
268 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
270 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
272 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)

281 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
283 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
285 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
286 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
288 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
290 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
291 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
292 is larger than the system's page size according to the
293 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
294 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
295 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
298 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
300 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
302 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
304 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
306 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
308 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
309 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
311 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
313 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
314 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
316 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
318 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
319 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
321 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
323 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
324 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
325 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
326 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
327 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
329 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
331 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
334 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
336 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
337 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
338 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
339 installing the man pages.
341 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
343 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
345 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
347 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
348 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
351 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
354 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
356 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26

360 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
363 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
364 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
365 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
367 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
369 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
370 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
371 envrionment variable.
373 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
375 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
377 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
379 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
381 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
382 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
385 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
387 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
388 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
389 the last checked time on the filesystem.
391 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
393 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
394 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
397 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
398 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
399 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
401 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
402 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
404 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
405 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
406 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
407 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
408 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
410 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
412 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
413 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
414 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
415 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
416 include search path.)
418 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
420 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
421 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
422 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
425 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
427 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
428 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
429 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
431 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
433 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
434 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
435 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
436 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
437 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
439 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
440 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
442 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
445 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
447 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
448 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
449 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
451 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
453 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
456 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
458 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
459 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
461 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
463 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
466 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
468 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
469 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
470 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
471 into a real device name.
473 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
475 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
476 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
477 calls are a good thing. <g>
479 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
481 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
483 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
485 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
487 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
489 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
491 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
494 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
495 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
497 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
499 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
502 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
504 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
506 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
508 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.

512 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
514 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
516 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
518 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
519 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
520 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
522 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
524 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
525 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
526 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
527 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
528 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
529 small device (less than 64 blocks).
531 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
533 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
536 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
537 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
538 display, since it only confuses people.
540 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
542 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
545 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
546 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
547 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
549 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
551 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
552 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
553 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
554 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
556 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
557 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
558 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
559 in the ext2 superblock.
561 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
562 malloc'd in interpret spec.
564 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
566 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
568 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
570 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
571 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
574 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
576 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
577 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
578 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
579 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
581 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
582 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
583 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
585 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
586 specified more than once.
588 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
590 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
591 text that erroneously implied that all features
592 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
595 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
597 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
598 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
599 should not be present.
601 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
603 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
605 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
606 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
608 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
610 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
611 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
612 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
613 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
615 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
617 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
618 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
620 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
622 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
623 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
624 blocksize of the new filesystem.
626 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
628 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
629 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
632 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
634 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
635 of the filesystem to determines its type.
637 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
638 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
640 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
642 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
644 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

653 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
655 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
656 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
657 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
658 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
659 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
661 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
662 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
665 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
666 specified to configure.
668 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
670 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
671 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
673 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
674 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
677 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
678 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
679 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
681 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
683 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
684 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
685 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
687 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
689 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
690 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.
692 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
694 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
696 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
698 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
700 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
702 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
703 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
704 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
706 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
707 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
709 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
711 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
712 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
713 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
714 for description of new -t semantics.
716 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
717 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
718 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
720 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
721 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
724 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
726 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
727 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
728 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
730 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
733 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
735 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
736 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
738 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
740 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
742 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
743 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
745 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
747 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
748 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
749 value depending on if superblock features are set.
751 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
753 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
755 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
756 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
757 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
759 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
762 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
764 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
766 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
768 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
769 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
771 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
772 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
773 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
775 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
776 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
778 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
780 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
782 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
783 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
784 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
786 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
787 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
790 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
793 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
795 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
796 the base device, we should assume that the device is
797 already active in order to force serialization.
799 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
801 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
802 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
805 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
807 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
808 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
809 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
810 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
812 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
813 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
814 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
816 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
818 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
819 documentation for the extern journal device support.
821 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
824 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
826 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
827 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
829 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
830 number to be treated as a journal size.
832 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
835 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
836 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
837 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
838 entire device to get zero'ed.
840 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
842 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
843 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
846 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
848 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
849 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
850 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
851 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
852 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
853 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
854 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
855 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
856 using the absolute size of the journal.
858 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
860 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
861 Also handle the case where the default journal size
862 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
863 the filesystem will be checked.
865 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
867 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
869 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
871 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
874 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
875 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
878 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
879 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
881 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
883 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
884 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
885 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
886 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
887 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
888 with the rest of the options out there.)
890 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
891 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
892 from the external journal's filesystem list.
894 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
895 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
896 given a filesystem size.
898 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
901 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
902 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
904 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
906 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
907 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
908 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
910 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
911 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
912 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
913 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
914 have been created via separate step.
916 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
917 information about an external journal device.
919 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
921 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
922 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
923 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
924 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
925 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
926 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
927 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
928 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
930 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
932 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
933 stdout after printing in-progress message.
934 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
935 the mount status of the device.
937 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
939 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
940 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
941 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
942 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
943 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
945 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
948 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
950 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
952 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
953 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
954 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
956 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
958 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
961 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
962 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
965 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
967 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
968 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
970 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
972 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
973 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
974 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
975 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
977 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
978 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
979 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
981 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
982 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
984 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
986 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
987 struct ext2_super_block.
989 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
990 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
991 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
992 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
993 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
994 using our own version now).
996 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
998 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
999 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
1000 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
1001 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
1002 the parallel_root option.
1004 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
1005 the file attributes.
1007 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
1008 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
1010 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
1011 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
1012 support for the journaled data flag.
1014 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
1016 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1018 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
1020 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
1021 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
1023 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1025 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
1028 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
1029 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
1030 instead of core dumping.
1032 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1034 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
1035 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
1036 journal creation routines for this purpose.
1038 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
1039 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
1041 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
1042 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
1044 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1046 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
1047 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
1050 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
1051 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
1053 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
1055 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1057 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
1058 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
1061 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
1062 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
1063 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
1064 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
1067 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
1068 group names to uid's before storing them in the
1069 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
1071 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1073 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
1074 option=argument style options, and add support for
1075 creating filesystems with external journals.
1077 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
1079 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1081 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
1082 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
1084 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1086 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
1087 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
1090 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
1093 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
1094 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
1097 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
1098 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
1101 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1103 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
1106 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
1108 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
1109 systems with four IDE interfaces.
1111 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
1113 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1116 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1117 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1119 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1121 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1122 we can't find the device using the name given by
1123 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1124 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1126 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1128 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1129 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1130 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1132 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1134 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1136 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1138 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1139 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1141 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1143 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1144 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1146 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1148 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1150 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1152 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1153 are mutually exclusive.
1155 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1156 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1157 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1160 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1161 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1162 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1163 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1164 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1165 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1166 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1167 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1170 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1171 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1172 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1173 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1176 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1178 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1179 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1180 the progress bar display logic.
1182 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1183 max_mount_count is negative.
1185 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1186 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1189 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1190 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1191 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1192 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1193 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1194 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1196 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1197 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1198 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1200 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1201 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1202 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1205 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1206 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1207 device as a default.
1209 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1211 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1212 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1213 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1214 old, overly complicated logic.
1215 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1216 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1217 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1219 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1221 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1222 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1223 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1224 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1226 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1228 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1229 or LABEL= specification is given.
1231 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1232 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1233 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1234 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1235 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1236 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1238 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1239 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1240 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1241 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1242 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1244 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1246 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1247 support fdatasync().
1249 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1251 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1252 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1253 manually define optarg and optind.
1255 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1258 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1259 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1260 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1261 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1263 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1264 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1266 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1268 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1271 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1273 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1275 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1277 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1278 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1280 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1281 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1282 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1283 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1286 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1287 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1288 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1290 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1292 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1293 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1294 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1295 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1296 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1298 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1299 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1300 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1301 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1302 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1303 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1305 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1307 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1309 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1310 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1311 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1312 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1313 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1315 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1316 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1318 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1320 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1322 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1323 document the -s option.
1325 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1327 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1328 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1329 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1330 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1332 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1333 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1334 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1335 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1336 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1337 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1338 Finally, the original data is written back.
1340 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1341 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1342 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1343 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1344 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1345 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1346 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1347 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1348 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1349 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1350 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1351 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1352 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1353 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1354 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1356 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1357 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1358 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1361 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1362 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1364 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1365 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1366 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1367 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1368 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1369 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1371 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1372 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1373 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1374 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1375 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1376 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1377 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1378 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1381 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1382 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1383 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1384 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1385 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1386 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1387 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1388 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1389 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1390 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1391 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1392 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1393 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1394 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1395 completely reliable.
1397 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1398 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1399 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1400 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1401 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1402 for your information.
1404 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1405 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1406 which I install which will write back whatever original
1407 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1408 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1410 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1411 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1412 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1413 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1414 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1415 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1416 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1417 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1418 should be in the distribution."
1420 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1422 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1423 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1424 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1426 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1428 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1429 option is properly named.
1431 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1433 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1434 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1435 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1437 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1439 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1440 the source directory.
1442 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1444 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1446 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1448 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1449 filesystem option is properly named.
1451 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1453 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1454 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1455 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1457 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1459 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1461 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1463 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1464 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1465 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1467 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1468 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1469 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1470 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1472 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1473 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1474 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1477 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1478 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1479 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1480 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1483 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1484 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1486 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1488 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1490 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1491 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1492 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1494 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1495 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1498 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1500 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1502 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1504 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1505 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1506 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1507 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1509 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1510 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1511 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1512 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1514 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1516 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1517 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1518 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1519 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1520 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1522 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1524 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1525 changing the sparse superblock option
1527 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1528 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1529 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1532 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1534 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1535 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1537 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1539 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1542 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1545 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1546 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1549 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1552 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1554 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1557 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1559 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1561 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1563 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1564 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1565 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1566 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1567 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1568 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1569 the filesystem the system would make.
1571 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1573 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1574 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1575 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1576 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1577 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1579 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1581 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1582 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1583 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1585 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1587 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1588 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1590 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1592 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1593 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1594 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1595 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1596 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1597 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1599 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1600 UUID=bar type specifications.
1602 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1604 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1605 clear out a large block number.
1607 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1609 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1610 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1612 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1614 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1615 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1617 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1619 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1622 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1624 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1625 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1626 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1627 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1629 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1631 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1634 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1636 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1637 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1639 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1641 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1642 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1643 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1644 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1646 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1648 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1649 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1650 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1651 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1652 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1653 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1655 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1657 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1658 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1659 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1660 fsck pass structure.
1661 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1662 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1665 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1667 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
1669 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1671 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
1674 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1676 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1677 needs to be treated as zero.
1679 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1681 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1682 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1684 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1685 program if the -V option is given.
1687 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1688 through a directory.
1690 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1692 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1693 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1695 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1696 filesystem which we are checking (user request).

1771 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1772 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1773 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1774 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.

1796 that the label will be truncated.
1798 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1799 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a

1874 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1876 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
1877 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
1878 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
1880 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
1881 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the

1892 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1893 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1896 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1897 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1899 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1901 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not

2027 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
2030 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
2031 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
2032 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets

2069 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
2070 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
2071 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
2072 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
2073 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
2074 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
2075 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
2076 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
2079 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2091 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
2092 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
2093 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
2094 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
2095 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
2097 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

2119 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in

2125 function to determine if the device is mounted.
2127 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
2128 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
2129 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
2130 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
2132 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2134 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user

2159 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2161 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2162 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
2163 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
2165 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2167 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2168 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2169 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2170 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2173 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2174 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---

2178 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2181 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.

2198 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2200 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2202 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2203 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2205 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2207 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

2215 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2216 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2217 statically sized buffer.
2218 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2219 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2221 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2222 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2223 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2224 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2225 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2227 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2228 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2229 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.

2233 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2234 support separate compilation directories.
2236 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2238 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2239 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2240 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2241 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2243 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2244 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2245 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2246 very large partition.
2248 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2249 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2250 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2252 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2253 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2254 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2255 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2256 ioctl, which most do.)
2258 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2259 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2260 during 0.5b development.)
2262 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2264 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2265 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2266 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2267 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2270 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2271 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2272 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2274 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2276 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2278 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2279 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2280 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2282 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2284 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2286 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2288 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2290 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2291 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2292 all partitions should be checked.
2294 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2296 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2299 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2302 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2304 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2305 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2307 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2309 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2311 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2313 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2316 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2318 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2320 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2322 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2324 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2326 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2328 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2329 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2330 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2331 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2332 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2334 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2335 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2336 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2337 statistics if necessary.
