3 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
4 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
5
62002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
7
8 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
9 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
10 is larger than the system's page size according to the
11 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
12 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
13 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
14 support this yet).

48
49 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
50 this case.
51
Theodore Ts'o57173d02002-02-26 14:59:39 -0500522002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'ob9f40922002-02-24 03:08:57 -050053
54 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
55 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
56 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
57 installing the man pages.
58

62
Theodore Ts'o57173d02002-02-26 14:59:39 -0500632002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o7d4343d2002-02-12 02:34:44 -050064
65 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
66 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
67 fsck.h.
68
69 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
70 non-portable.
71
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500722002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>

74 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26
75
762002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o5599c2f2002-02-03 00:08:52 -050077
78 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
79 "ext3,ext2", etc.
80
81 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
82 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
83 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
84
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500852002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'oa1069112002-01-29 12:49:14 -050086
87 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
88 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
89 envrionment variable.
90
91 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
92
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500932002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o177ab2b2002-01-27 18:23:49 -050094
95 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
96
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500972002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o5493a272002-01-02 14:15:35 -050098
99 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
100 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
101 opened read-only.
102
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05001032001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'od4de4aa2001-12-26 08:58:01 -0500104
105 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
106 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
107 the last checked time on the filesystem.
108
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05001092001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o6a525062001-12-24 09:40:00 -0500110
Theodore Ts'o3ed57c22001-12-24 15:01:59 -0500111 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
112 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
113 of the disk.
114
115 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
116 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
117 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
118
119 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
120 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
121
Theodore Ts'o6a525062001-12-24 09:40:00 -0500122 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
123 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
124 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
125 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
126 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
127
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05001282001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o19007e52001-12-23 19:33:51 -0500129
130 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
131 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
132 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
133 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
134 include search path.)
135
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05001362001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'oeaf4dc52001-12-22 00:04:22 -0500137
138 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
139 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
140 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
141 labels, etc.
142
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05001432001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o0655b102001-12-21 23:59:46 -0500144
145 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
146 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
147 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
148
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05001492001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>

Theodore Ts'o4ea7bd02001-12-16 23:23:37 -0500151 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
152 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
153 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
154 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
155 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
156
157 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
158 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
159
Theodore Ts'o8cf93332001-12-16 02:23:36 -0500160 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
161 linux/jbd.h
162
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05001632001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'oa5f0bb92001-12-02 19:29:35 +0100164
165 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
166 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
167 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
168
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05001692001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'oa36cf922001-11-24 16:13:49 -0500170
171 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
172 #119624)
173
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05001742001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o6ef39202001-11-13 18:49:09 -0500175
176 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
177 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
178
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05001792001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o6430bd62001-11-05 18:58:46 -0500180
Theodore Ts'ob3f5b4c2001-11-05 19:22:02 -0500181 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
182 flag.
183
184 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
185
Theodore Ts'o6430bd62001-11-05 18:58:46 -0500186 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
187 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
188 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
189 into a real device name.
190
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05001912001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'oe3ef3502001-11-05 18:57:43 -0500192
193 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
194 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
195 calls are a good thing. <g>
196
Andreas Dilger568101f2001-10-13 01:22:25 -06001972001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
198
199 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
200
201 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.

205 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
206
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05002072001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o39567c42001-09-19 15:28:21 -0400208
Theodore Ts'of6a6afc2001-09-19 18:27:39 -0400209 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
210 in use.
211
Theodore Ts'o39567c42001-09-19 15:28:21 -0400212 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
213 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
214
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05002152001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o3f85f652001-09-17 10:38:06 -0400216
217 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
218 zero-filled buffer.
219
Theodore Ts'ofb707752001-09-04 15:00:37 -04002202001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
221
222 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
223
Andreas Dilger9d8e6342001-08-31 10:24:46 -06002242001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
225
226 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.
227
Theodore Ts'o109624a2001-08-31 00:59:55 -04002282001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
229
230 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
231
Theodore Ts'o177a9ac2001-08-30 18:07:40 -04002322001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
233
234 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
235
Theodore Ts'o04a96852001-08-30 21:55:26 -0400236 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
237 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
238 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
239
Andreas Dilger59f27242001-08-30 15:39:04 -06002402001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
241
242 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
243 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
244 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
245 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
246 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
247 small device (less than 64 blocks).
248
Theodore Ts'o0f8973f2001-08-27 12:44:23 -04002492001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
250
Andreas Dilger59f27242001-08-30 15:39:04 -0600251 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
Theodore Ts'o0f8973f2001-08-27 12:44:23 -0400252 e2fsprogs programs.
253
254 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
255 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
256 display, since it only confuses people.
257
Theodore Ts'oe843c762001-08-18 14:22:25 -04002582001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
259
260 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
261 check_uuid.
262
263 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
264 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
265 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
266
Andreas Dilger2d155762001-08-17 03:48:11 -06002672001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
268
269 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
270 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
271 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
272 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
273
274 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
275 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
276 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
277 in the ext2 superblock.
278
279 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
280 malloc'd in interpret spec.
281
Theodore Ts'od2586682001-08-15 11:03:58 -04002822001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
283
Theodore Ts'o943ed872001-08-27 12:29:22 -0400284 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
285
2862001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
287
Theodore Ts'o7141b542001-08-15 19:17:37 -0400288 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
289 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
290 #108555.)
291
Theodore Ts'o1d349cc2001-08-15 19:06:55 -0400292 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
293
Theodore Ts'o88f8af62001-08-15 18:39:51 -0400294 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
Theodore Ts'o685c13f2001-08-15 19:04:59 -0400295 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
296 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
297 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
Theodore Ts'o88f8af62001-08-15 18:39:51 -0400298
Theodore Ts'of3561ed2001-08-15 11:58:16 -0400299 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
300 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
301 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
302
Theodore Ts'od2586682001-08-15 11:03:58 -0400303 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
304 specified more than once.
305
Theodore Ts'o085b02c2001-08-10 19:13:11 -04003062001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
307
308 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
309 text that erroneously implied that all features
310 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
311 kernels.
312
Theodore Ts'o6304baf2001-08-09 05:41:29 -04003132001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
314
Theodore Ts'oe8a447d2001-08-09 06:13:18 -0400315 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
316 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
317 should not be present.
318
Theodore Ts'o6304baf2001-08-09 05:41:29 -0400319 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
320
Theodore Ts'o8c97b0b2001-08-04 21:14:45 -04003212001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
322
323 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
324 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.

327
328 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
329 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
330 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
331 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves

374 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
375 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
376 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
377 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
378
379 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
380 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas

387
Theodore Ts'ocbbf0312001-06-13 00:12:04 +0000388 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
389 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
390
391 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
392 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
393 instead.
394
Theodore Ts'o28cf9042001-06-12 22:35:00 +0000395 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck

400
401 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
402 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
403 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
404

421 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
422 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
423
Theodore Ts'oc7a24e42001-05-23 22:26:39 +0000424 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()

487 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
488
Theodore Ts'ocd130a02001-05-05 05:43:23 +0000489 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
490 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
491 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
492
493 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
494 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
495
Theodore Ts'o095b4592001-05-03 13:33:11 +00004962001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

502 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
503

512
513 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
514 the base device, we should assume that the device is
515 already active in order to force serialization.
516
Theodore Ts'oce57f142001-04-26 04:25:39 +00005172001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
518
519 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
520 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
521 more sense to users.
522
Theodore Ts'o4d0f2282001-04-23 20:58:03 +00005232001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
524
525 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
526 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
527 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
528 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
529 from journal device.
530 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
531 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).

533
Theodore Ts'ob10fd5e2001-04-22 03:47:23 +00005342001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
535

543
Theodore Ts'o2103ea72001-04-21 20:53:43 +0000544 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
545 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
546
Theodore Ts'od6a27e02001-04-17 02:34:41 +0000547 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
548 number to be treated as a journal size.
549
Theodore Ts'o1d08d9b2001-04-17 01:01:49 +0000550 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
551 look nicer.
552
Theodore Ts'od6a27e02001-04-17 02:34:41 +0000553 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
554 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
555 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
556 entire device to get zero'ed.
557
Theodore Ts'o2537b6d2001-03-26 20:07:13 +00005582001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
559

Theodore Ts'o8d641742001-05-14 04:12:27 +0000561 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
Theodore Ts'o2537b6d2001-03-26 20:07:13 +0000562 blocks.
563
564 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
565
566 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
567 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
568 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
569 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
570 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
571 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
572 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
573 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
574 using the absolute size of the journal.
575
Theodore Ts'o93345d12001-02-17 06:09:50 +00005762001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
577
578 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
579 Also handle the case where the default journal size
580 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
581 the filesystem will be checked.
582
Theodore Ts'oc5423c52001-02-08 05:45:17 +00005832001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

Theodore Ts'obe4244b2001-02-08 03:28:18 +0000589 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
590 sparse_super.
591
Theodore Ts'o8b164f92001-02-08 03:24:18 +0000592 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
593 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
594 in hex.
595
Theodore Ts'offf18b42001-02-08 03:06:43 +0000596 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
597 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
598
Theodore Ts'o02088862001-01-18 01:44:19 +00005992001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
600
Theodore Ts'odc2ec522001-01-18 01:51:15 +0000601 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
602 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
603 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
604 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
605 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
606 with the rest of the options out there.)
607
608 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
609 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
610 from the external journal's filesystem list.
611
Theodore Ts'o5683e6e2001-01-18 01:47:48 +0000612 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
613 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
614 given a filesystem size.
615
616 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
617 small as 1MB.
618
Theodore Ts'o02088862001-01-18 01:44:19 +0000619 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
620 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
621
Theodore Ts'o16ed5b32001-01-16 07:47:31 +00006222001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
623
624 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
625 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
626 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
627
628 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
629 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
630 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
631 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
632 have been created via separate step.
633
634 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
635 information about an external journal device.
636
Theodore Ts'o4055ef72001-01-14 16:11:14 +00006372001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
638
Theodore Ts'o44c09c02001-01-14 17:02:09 +0000639 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
640 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
641 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
642 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
643 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
644 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
645 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
646 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
647
Theodore Ts'o08dd8302001-01-14 16:25:58 +0000648 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
649
Theodore Ts'o4055ef72001-01-14 16:11:14 +0000650 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
651 stdout after printing in-progress message.
652 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
653 the mount status of the device.

658 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
659 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
660 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
661 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
662
Theodore Ts'o4d404542001-01-11 16:04:59 +0000663 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
664 flush the device.
665
Theodore Ts'odfcdc322001-01-11 15:38:00 +0000666 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
667
Theodore Ts'o83238152001-01-09 00:16:26 +00006682001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
669
670 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
671 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
672 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
673
Theodore Ts'o8820c792001-01-06 04:20:03 +00006742001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
675
676 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
677 prototype.
678
679 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
680 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
681 complaints.
682
683 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
684
685 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
686 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
687
Theodore Ts'o63985322001-01-03 17:02:13 +00006882001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
689
690 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
691 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
692 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
693 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
694
695 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
696 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
697 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
698
699 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
700 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
701
Theodore Ts'ob21e38a2001-01-01 15:26:58 +00007022001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
703
Theodore Ts'oef9abe52001-01-01 15:31:53 +0000704 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
705 struct ext2_super_block.
706
Theodore Ts'ob21e38a2001-01-01 15:26:58 +0000707 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
708 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
709 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
Theodore Ts'oef9abe52001-01-01 15:31:53 +0000710 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
711 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
712 using our own version now).
Theodore Ts'ob21e38a2001-01-01 15:26:58 +0000713
Theodore Ts'o9a718842000-12-31 13:48:12 +00007142000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
715
Theodore Ts'od4cf2fc2000-12-31 14:09:38 +0000716 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
717 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
718 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
719 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
720 the parallel_root option.
721
Theodore Ts'of10748d2000-12-31 13:55:14 +0000722 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
723 the file attributes.
724
725 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
726 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
727
Theodore Ts'o9a718842000-12-31 13:48:12 +0000728 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
729 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
730 support for the journaled data flag.
731
732 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
733
Theodore Ts'o16ad3332000-12-31 03:21:56 +00007342000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
735
736 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
737
738 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
739 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
740
Theodore Ts'ob9fd8c12000-12-29 03:10:45 +00007412000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
742
743 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
744 names.
745
746 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
747 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
748 instead of core dumping.
749
Theodore Ts'o74a74d22000-12-09 14:33:29 +00007502000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
751
Theodore Ts'od48755e2000-12-09 14:36:04 +0000752 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
753 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
754 journal creation routines for this purpose.
755
756 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
757 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
758
Theodore Ts'o74a74d22000-12-09 14:33:29 +0000759 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
760 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
761
Theodore Ts'o793e27d2000-12-03 06:33:56 +00007622000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
763
764 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
765 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
766 memory.
767
768 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
769 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
770
771 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
772
Theodore Ts'oe1c6b2f2000-12-02 06:19:33 +00007732000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
774
Theodore Ts'o2d091792000-12-02 07:03:32 +0000775 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
776 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
777 #63442)
778
Theodore Ts'oe9f9dd82000-12-02 06:35:07 +0000779 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
780 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
781 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
782 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
783 #65267)
784
Theodore Ts'oe1c6b2f2000-12-02 06:19:33 +0000785 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
786 group names to uid's before storing them in the
787 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
788
Theodore Ts'o8ddaa662000-11-17 04:55:24 +00007892000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
790
791 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
792 option=argument style options, and add support for
793 creating filesystems with external journals.
794
795 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
796
Theodore Ts'o72ed1262000-11-12 19:32:20 +00007972000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
798
799 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
800 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
801
Theodore Ts'o85ef4ae2000-10-24 19:33:45 +00008022000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
803
Theodore Ts'of6f65832000-10-25 03:01:37 +0000804 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
805 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
806 at this point.)
807
Theodore Ts'o0056be12000-10-25 02:24:33 +0000808 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
809 character labels.
810
Theodore Ts'o43819662000-10-25 02:06:09 +0000811 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
812 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
813 other devices.
814
Theodore Ts'o85ef4ae2000-10-24 19:33:45 +0000815 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
816 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
817 journal.
818
Theodore Ts'oe294cf22000-10-24 18:41:44 +00008192000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
820
821 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
822 didn't catch.
823
Theodore Ts'o3f1e9a52000-09-12 21:21:52 +00008242000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
825
826 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
827 systems with four IDE interfaces.
828
Theodore Ts'od7e39b02000-09-11 17:01:35 +00008292000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
830
831 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
832 fails.
833
834 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
835 the inode table location in non-hex format.
836
Theodore Ts'o556ccbd2000-08-20 19:11:05 +00008372000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
838
839 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
840 we can't find the device using the name given by
841 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
842 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
843
Theodore Ts'o80c22c92000-08-14 15:32:11 +00008442000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
845
846 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
847 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
848 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
849
850 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
851
Theodore Ts'oe41784e2000-08-14 14:44:15 +00008522000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
853
854 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
855 zap_sect.
856 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
857 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
858
Theodore Ts'o28412de2000-07-27 02:45:55 +00008592000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
860
861 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
862 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
863
Theodore Ts'of9e67062000-07-13 23:25:54 +00008642000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
865
866 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
867
Theodore Ts'oa551b782000-07-13 22:05:31 +00008682000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
869
870 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
871 are mutually exclusive.
872
873 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
874 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
875 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
876 the long run.)
877
878 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
879 variable before going into the write verification loop.
880 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
881 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
882 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
883 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
884 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
885 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
886 routines anymore.
887
888 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
889 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
890 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
891 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
892 format string.
893
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +00008942000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
895
Theodore Ts'o19c68912000-07-07 03:25:13 +0000896 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
897 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
898 the progress bar display logic.
899
Theodore Ts'o45d9e2f2000-07-07 03:12:54 +0000900 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
901 max_mount_count is negative.
902
903 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
904 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
905 check.
906
Theodore Ts'o5b1519b2000-07-06 14:16:08 +0000907 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
908 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
909 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
910 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
911 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
912 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
913
Theodore Ts'o981dc562000-07-06 14:13:29 +0000914 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
915 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
916 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
917
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +0000918 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
919 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
Theodore Ts'o981dc562000-07-06 14:13:29 +0000920 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
921 for the -f option.
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +0000922
923 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
924 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
925 device as a default.
926
Theodore Ts'od49a22b2000-07-06 00:31:27 +00009272000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
928
929 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
930 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
931 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
932 old, overly complicated logic.
933 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
934 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
935 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
936
Theodore Ts'o26ab5312000-05-29 15:05:42 +00009372000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
938
939 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
940 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
941 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
942 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
943
Theodore Ts'o4ea0a112000-05-08 13:33:17 +00009442000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
945
Theodore Ts'oc96e5112000-05-08 14:47:15 +0000946 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
947 or LABEL= specification is given.
948
Theodore Ts'o4ea0a112000-05-08 13:33:17 +0000949 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
950 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
951 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
952 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
953 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
954 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
955
956 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
957 proceed_question that was busted due to the
958 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
959 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
960 cleared of the previous question's newline.
961
Theodore Ts'oe2207ce2000-04-06 21:51:18 +0000962Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
963
964 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
965 support fdatasync().
966
Theodore Ts'offe4cab2000-04-03 13:27:41 +00009672000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
968
Theodore Ts'o373b8332000-04-03 16:22:35 +0000969 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
970 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
971 manually define optarg and optind.
972
Theodore Ts'o4d003982000-04-03 16:01:11 +0000973 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
974 Beattie.
975
976 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
977 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
978 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
979 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
980
Theodore Ts'offe4cab2000-04-03 13:27:41 +0000981 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
982 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
983 address.
984 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
985
Theodore Ts'oe1a0a3e2000-02-11 05:00:19 +00009862000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
987
988 * chattr.1.in:
989 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
990
991 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
992
993 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
994
995 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
996 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
997
998 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
999 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1000 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1001 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1002 the same flag.
1003
1004 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1005 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1006 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1007
Theodore Ts'odd018f52000-02-06 23:57:07 +000010082000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1009
Theodore Ts'od9c56d32000-02-08 00:47:55 +00001010 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1011 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1012 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1013 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1014 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1015
Theodore Ts'odd018f52000-02-06 23:57:07 +00001016 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1017 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1018 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1019 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1020 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1021 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1022
1023 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1024
Theodore Ts'ob4ee1fb2000-02-02 19:08:51 +000010252000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1026
1027 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1028 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1029 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1030 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1031 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1032
1033 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1034 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1035
1036 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h

1044
1045 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1046 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1047 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1048 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1049
1050 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1051 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1052 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1053 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1054 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1055 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1056 Finally, the original data is written back.
1057
1058 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1059 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1060 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1061 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1062 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1063 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1064 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1065 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1066 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1067 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1068 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1069 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1070 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1071 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1072 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1073
1074 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1075 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1076 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1077 randomly.
1078
1079 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1080 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1081
1082 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1083 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1084 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1085 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1086 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1087 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1088
1089 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1090 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1091 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1092 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1093 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1094 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1095 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1096 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1097 scan).
1098
1099 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1100 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1101 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1102 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1103 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1104 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1105 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1106 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1107 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1108 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1109 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1110 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1111 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1112 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1113 completely reliable.
1114
1115 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1116 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1117 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1118 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1119 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1120 for your information.
1121
1122 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1123 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1124 which I install which will write back whatever original
1125 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1126 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1127
1128 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1129 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1130 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1131 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1132 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1133 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1134 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1135 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1136 should be in the distribution."

1139
1140 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1141 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1142 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1143
Theodore Ts'obfd21931999-11-23 13:48:58 +000011441999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>

Theodore Ts'o6733c2f1999-11-23 02:23:30 +000011491999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1150
1151 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1152 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1153 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1154

1167 filesystem option is properly named.
1168
Theodore Ts'o6a35ffa1999-11-04 22:34:43 +000011691999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1170
1171 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1172 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1173 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1174
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +000011751999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>

1178
11791999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1180
Theodore Ts'o3bc03661999-10-26 17:17:00 +00001181 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1182 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1183 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1184
Theodore Ts'o36b01301999-10-26 14:38:36 +00001185 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1186 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1187 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1188 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1189
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +00001190 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
Theodore Ts'o9094f281999-10-26 16:42:50 +00001191 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1192 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1193 gcc warnings.
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +00001194
Theodore Ts'ob5135711999-10-26 14:33:24 +00001195 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1196 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1197 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1198 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1199 the child process.
1200
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +00001201 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1202 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1203
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +000012041999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1205
1206 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1207 happy.
Theodore Ts'oe6597041999-10-26 02:30:16 +00001208 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1209 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1210 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +00001211
1212 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1213 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1214 an infinite loop.
1215
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +000012161999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>

1219
12201999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1221
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +00001222 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1223 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1224 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1225 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1226
1227 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1228 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1229 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1230 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1231
Theodore Ts'ocaf8ce41999-10-21 19:56:34 +000012321999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>

1234 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1235 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1236 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1237 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1238 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1239
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +000012401999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1241
Theodore Ts'o671cbfa1999-10-20 18:14:23 +00001242 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1243 changing the sparse superblock option
1244
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +00001245 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1246 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1247 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1248 unhandled SIGUSR1.
1249

Theodore Ts'o76714331999-10-20 18:06:29 +00001251
1252 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1253 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1254
Theodore Ts'o27401561999-09-14 20:11:19 +000012551999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1256
1257 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1258 Dirson.
1259
1260 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1261 kernels.
1262
1263 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1264 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1265 flag.
1266
1267 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1268 (header-only).
1269
12701999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1271
1272 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1273 superblock option.
1274
12751999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o657cb971999-07-30 23:19:10 +00001276
1277 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1278
Theodore Ts'o50787ea1999-07-19 15:30:21 +000012791999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1280
1281 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1282 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1283 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1284 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1285 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1286 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1287 the filesystem the system would make.
1288
12891999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1290
1291 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1292 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1293 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1294 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1295 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1296
12971999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o9f10a7b1999-07-16 10:41:36 +00001298
1299 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1300 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1301 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1302
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +000013031999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o5dbb0721999-07-03 06:16:06 +00001304
1305 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1306 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1307
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +000013081999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o2d8defd1999-07-03 01:59:42 +00001309
1310 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1311 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1312 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1313 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1314 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1315 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1316
1317 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1318 UUID=bar type specifications.
1319
Theodore Ts'o00eedba1999-07-03 00:45:58 +000013201999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1321
1322 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1323 clear out a large block number.
1324
Theodore Ts'oca3c3281999-06-29 14:37:35 +000013251999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1326
1327 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1328 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1329
Theodore Ts'oe72a9ba1999-06-25 15:40:18 +000013301999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1331
1332 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1333 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1334
Theodore Ts'oe2423cc1999-06-18 00:51:31 +000013351999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1336
1337 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1338 code cleanups.
1339
Theodore Ts'o02e7dd91999-06-18 00:48:41 +000013401999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1341
1342 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1343 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1344 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1345 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1346
Theodore Ts'o5d45d801999-03-16 19:35:19 +000013471999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1348
1349 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1350 generate UUIDs.
1351
13521999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1353
1354 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1355 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1356
Theodore Ts'o7d5633c1999-02-09 08:14:28 +000013571999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1358
1359 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1360 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1361 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1362 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1363
13641999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1365
1366 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1367 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1368 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1369 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1370 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1371 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1372
Theodore Ts'oee922991999-01-16 05:39:12 +000013731999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1374
1375 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1376 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1377 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1378 fsck pass structure.
1379 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1380 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1381 to finish.
1382
Theodore Ts'o7953f611999-01-09 05:03:52 +000013831999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1384
Theodore Ts'o9e51eca1999-01-09 16:32:31 +00001385 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14

13871999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1388
Theodore Ts'o7953f611999-01-09 05:03:52 +00001389 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
1390 switch.
1391
Theodore Ts'o665f7101999-01-08 13:33:39 +000013921999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1393
1394 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1395 needs to be treated as zero.
1396

1473 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1474 it isn't pretty.)

1477

1515
1516 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1517 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1518 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

1773Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1774
1775 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1776 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1777
1778Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1779
1780 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1781
1782 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1783 revision.
1784
1785Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1786
1787 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1788 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1789 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1790 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1791 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1792 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1793 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1794 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1795 option turned on.
1796
Theodore Ts'o74becf31997-04-26 14:37:06 +00001797Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1798
1799 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1800
1801Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1802
1803 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1804 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1805 vs. /dev/hda1)
1806
1807Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1808
1809 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1810 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1811 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1812 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1813 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1814
1815Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1816
1817 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1818 ext2fs_test_bit().
1819
Theodore Ts'o297f47a1997-04-26 14:25:20 +00001820Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1821
1822 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1823 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1824
Theodore Ts'oa418d3a1997-04-26 14:00:26 +00001825Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1826
1827 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1828
1829Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1830
1831 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1832 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1833 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1834
1835Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1836
1837 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1838 the same order.
1839
1840Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1841
1842 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1843 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1844
1845 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1846 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1847 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1848 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1849
1850Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1851
1852 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1853 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1854 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1855 check.
1856
1857Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1858
1859 * badblocks.8:
1860 * chattr.1:
1861 * dumpe2fs.8:
1862 * fsck.8:
1863 * lsattr.1:
1864 * mke2fs.8:
1865 * mklost+found.8:
1866 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1867
1868Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1869
1870 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1871 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1872 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1873
1874 * mke2fs.8:
1875 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1876
1877Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1878
1879 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1880 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(&param), instead of assuming that the
1881 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1882
1883Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1884
1885 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1886 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1887 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1888 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1889 advisable.
1890
1891 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1892 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1893 alloca is not portable!
1894
1895 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1896 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1897 /etc/fstab.
1898
1899 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1900
1901Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1902
1903 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1904 benefit.
1905
1906 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1907
1908 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1909 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1910
1911Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1912
1913 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1914 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1915
1916Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1917
1918 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1919
1920 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1921 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1922
1923 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1924
1925Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1926
1927 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1928 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1929 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1930 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1931
1932 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1933 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1934 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1935 statically sized buffer.
1936 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1937 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1938
1939 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1940 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1941 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1942 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1943 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1944
1945 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1946 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1947 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1948 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1949 (test_rw): Ditto.
1950
1951 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1952 support separate compilation directories.
1953
Theodore Ts'of3db3561997-04-26 13:34:30 +00001954Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1955
1956 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1957 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1958 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1959 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1960
1961 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1962 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1963 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1964 very large partition.
1965
1966 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1967 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1968 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1969
1970 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1971 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1972 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1973 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1974 ioctl, which most do.)
1975
1976 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1977 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1978 during 0.5b development.)
1979
1980Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1981
1982 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1983 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1984 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1985 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1986 measure).
1987
1988 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1989 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1990 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1991
1992Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1993
1994 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1995
1996 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1997 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1998 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1999
2000Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2001
2002 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2003 new options.
2004 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2005
2006Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2007
2008 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2009 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2010 all partitions should be checked.
2011
2012Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2013
2014 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2015 structures.
2016
2017 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2018 the effective uid.
2019
2020Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2021
2022 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2023 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2024
2025Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2026
2027 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2028
2029Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2030
2031 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2032 read-only test.
2033
2034 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2035
2036 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2037
2038 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2039
2040 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2041
2042 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2043
2044Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2045
2046 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2047 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2048 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2049 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2050 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2051
2052 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2053 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2054 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2055 statistics if necessary.
