3 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
4 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
5 manually define optarg and optind.
7 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
10 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
11 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
12 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
13 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
15 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
16 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
18 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
20 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
23 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
25 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
27 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
29 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
30 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
32 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
33 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
34 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
35 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
38 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
39 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
40 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
42 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
44 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
45 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
46 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
47 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
48 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
50 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
51 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
52 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
53 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
54 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
55 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
57 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
59 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
61 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
62 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
63 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
64 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
65 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
67 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
68 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
70 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
72 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
74 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
75 document the -s option.
77 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
79 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
80 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
81 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
82 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
84 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
85 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
86 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
87 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
88 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
89 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
90 Finally, the original data is written back.
92 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
93 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
94 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
95 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
96 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
97 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
98 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
99 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
100 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
101 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
102 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
103 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
104 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
105 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
106 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
108 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
109 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
110 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
113 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
114 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
116 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
117 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
118 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
119 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
120 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
121 and want the host hard drive to flush.
123 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
124 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
125 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
126 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
127 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
128 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
129 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
130 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
133 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
134 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
135 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
136 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
137 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
138 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
139 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
140 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
141 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
142 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
143 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
144 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
145 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
146 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
149 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
150 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
151 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
152 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
153 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
154 for your information.
156 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
157 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
158 which I install which will write back whatever original
159 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
160 (except SIGKILL, of course).
162 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
163 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
164 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
165 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
166 could learn how to update the manpage and other
167 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
168 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
169 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
170 should be in the distribution."
172 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
174 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
175 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
176 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
178 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
180 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
181 option is properly named.
183 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
185 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
186 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
187 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
189 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
191 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
192 the source directory.
194 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
196 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
198 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
200 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
201 filesystem option is properly named.
203 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
205 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
206 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
207 fsck -As can do so interactively.
209 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
211 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
213 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
215 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
216 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
217 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
219 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
220 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
221 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
222 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
224 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
225 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
226 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
229 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
230 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
231 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
232 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
235 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
236 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
238 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
240 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
242 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
243 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
244 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
246 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
247 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
250 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
252 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
254 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
256 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
257 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
258 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
259 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
261 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
262 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
263 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
264 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
266 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
268 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
269 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
270 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
271 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
272 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
274 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
276 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
277 changing the sparse superblock option
279 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
280 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
281 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
284 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
286 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
287 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
289 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
291 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
294 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
297 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
298 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
301 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
304 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
306 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
309 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
311 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
313 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
315 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
316 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
317 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
318 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
319 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
320 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
321 the filesystem the system would make.
323 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
325 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
326 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
327 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
328 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
329 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
331 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
333 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
334 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
335 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
337 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
339 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
340 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
342 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
344 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
345 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
346 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
347 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
348 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
349 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
351 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
352 UUID=bar type specifications.
354 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
356 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
357 clear out a large block number.
359 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
361 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
362 appears mounted if the force option is given.
364 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
366 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
367 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
369 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
371 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
374 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
376 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
377 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
378 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
379 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
381 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
383 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
386 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
388 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
389 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
391 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
393 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
394 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
395 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
396 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
398 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
400 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
401 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
402 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
403 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
404 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
405 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
407 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
409 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
410 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
411 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
413 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
414 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
417 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
419 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
421 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
423 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
426 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
428 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
429 needs to be treated as zero.
431 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
433 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow the user to specify exactly how many
434 inodes he/she wishes.
436 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
437 program if the -V option is given.
439 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
442 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
444 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
445 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
447 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
448 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
450 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
452 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
453 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
455 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
457 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
459 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
461 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
462 seperated", instead of common separated)
464 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
466 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
468 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
470 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
471 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
472 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
474 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
476 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
478 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
479 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
480 things look nice on an 80 character display.
482 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
484 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage
487 1998-07-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

491 1998-07-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
493 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
494 being written by e2fsprogs.
496 1998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
498 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
500 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
503 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
504 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
506 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
507 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
510 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
512 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
515 1998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
517 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove check for filesystems with the noauto
520 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
522 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
523 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
524 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
525 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
526 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
528 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
530 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.
532 * e2label.c: Fix -Wall warning by making functions static.
534 1998-03-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
536 * chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may
537 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
539 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
542 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
543 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
546 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
547 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
548 that the label will be truncated.
550 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
551 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
552 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
554 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
556 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning
557 message. Fixed up -Wall warnings in file.
559 Sun Mar 8 22:21:48 1998 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
561 * partinfo.c (main): The ioctl BLKGETSIZE requires a long, not an
564 Sun Feb 1 16:53:36 1998 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
566 * badblocks.8: Update documentation to note that output format
567 of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or
570 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
571 bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the

585 * badblocks.c (main):
587 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
588 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
591 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
593 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,

599 * mklost+found.c (main):
603 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
604 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
605 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
608 Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

620 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
622 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
623 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
624 80 columns when making a really big disk.
626 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
628 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
629 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
630 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
632 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
633 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the

638 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.10
640 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
642 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
643 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
644 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
645 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
648 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
649 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
651 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
653 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
654 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13

675 bitmaps, and the inode table. List the block boundaries
678 Sat Apr 5 11:55:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
680 * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
681 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
683 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
684 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
685 sparse superblock flag is set.
686 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
687 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
690 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
692 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
694 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
696 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and

707 set when it is unset.
709 Tue Jan 14 12:30:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
711 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
712 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
713 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
716 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
718 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
720 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
722 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
724 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that
725 they frequently update the block number field.

772 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
774 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
777 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
778 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
779 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
782 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
783 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
784 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
785 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
788 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
790 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
791 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
792 and no version number is specified.
794 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
796 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
798 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
800 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
803 Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
805 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
807 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
809 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
810 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
812 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
814 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
816 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
819 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
821 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
822 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
823 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
824 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
825 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
826 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
827 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
828 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
831 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
833 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
835 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
837 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
838 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
841 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
843 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
844 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
845 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
846 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
847 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
849 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
851 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
854 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
856 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
857 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
859 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
861 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
863 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
865 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
866 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
867 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
869 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
871 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
874 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
876 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
877 function to determine if the device is mounted.
879 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
880 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
881 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
882 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
884 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
886 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
887 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
888 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
891 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
900 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
902 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
904 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
905 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
906 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
909 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
911 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
913 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
914 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
915 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
917 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
919 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
920 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
921 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
922 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
925 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
926 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
927 alloca is not portable!
929 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
930 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
933 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
935 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
937 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
940 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
942 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
943 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
945 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
947 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
948 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
950 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
952 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
954 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
955 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
957 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
959 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
961 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
962 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
963 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
964 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
966 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
967 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
968 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
969 statically sized buffer.
970 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
971 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
973 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
974 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
975 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
976 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
977 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
979 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
980 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
981 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
982 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
985 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
986 support separate compilation directories.
988 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
990 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
991 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
992 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
993 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
995 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
996 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
997 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
998 very large partition.
1000 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1001 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1002 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1004 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1005 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1006 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1007 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1008 ioctl, which most do.)
1010 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1011 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1012 during 0.5b development.)
1014 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1016 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1017 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1018 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1019 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1022 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1023 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1024 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1026 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1028 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1030 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1031 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1032 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1034 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1036 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1038 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1040 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1042 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1043 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1044 all partitions should be checked.
1046 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1048 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1051 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1054 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1056 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1057 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1059 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1061 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1063 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1065 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1068 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1070 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1072 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1074 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1076 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1078 Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1080 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1081 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1082 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1083 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1084 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1086 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1087 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1088 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1089 statistics if necessary.
