Theodore Ts'odfcdc322001-01-11 15:38:00 +000012001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
2
Theodore Ts'oc8c071a2001-01-11 16:08:23 +00003 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
4 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
5 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
6 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
7 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
8
Theodore Ts'o4d404542001-01-11 16:04:59 +00009 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
10 flush the device.
11
Theodore Ts'odfcdc322001-01-11 15:38:00 +000012 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
13
Theodore Ts'o83238152001-01-09 00:16:26 +0000142001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
15
16 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
17 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
18 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
19
Theodore Ts'o8820c792001-01-06 04:20:03 +0000202001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
21
22 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
23 prototype.
24
25 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
26 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
27 complaints.
28
29 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
30
31 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
32 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
33
Theodore Ts'o63985322001-01-03 17:02:13 +0000342001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
35
36 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
37 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
38 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
39 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
40
41 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
42 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
43 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
44
45 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
46 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
47
Theodore Ts'ob21e38a2001-01-01 15:26:58 +0000482001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
49
Theodore Ts'oef9abe52001-01-01 15:31:53 +000050 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
51 struct ext2_super_block.
52
Theodore Ts'ob21e38a2001-01-01 15:26:58 +000053 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
54 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
55 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
Theodore Ts'oef9abe52001-01-01 15:31:53 +000056 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
57 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
58 using our own version now).
Theodore Ts'ob21e38a2001-01-01 15:26:58 +000059
Theodore Ts'o9a718842000-12-31 13:48:12 +0000602000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
61
Theodore Ts'od4cf2fc2000-12-31 14:09:38 +000062 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
63 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
64 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
65 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
66 the parallel_root option.
67
Theodore Ts'of10748d2000-12-31 13:55:14 +000068 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
69 the file attributes.
70
71 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
72 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
73
Theodore Ts'o9a718842000-12-31 13:48:12 +000074 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
75 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
76 support for the journaled data flag.
77
78 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
79
Theodore Ts'o16ad3332000-12-31 03:21:56 +0000802000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
81
82 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
83
84 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
85 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
86
Theodore Ts'ob9fd8c12000-12-29 03:10:45 +0000872000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
88
89 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
90 names.
91
92 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
93 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
94 instead of core dumping.
95
Theodore Ts'o74a74d22000-12-09 14:33:29 +0000962000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
97
Theodore Ts'od48755e2000-12-09 14:36:04 +000098 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
99 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
100 journal creation routines for this purpose.
101
102 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
103 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
104
Theodore Ts'o74a74d22000-12-09 14:33:29 +0000105 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
106 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
107
Theodore Ts'o793e27d2000-12-03 06:33:56 +00001082000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
109
110 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
111 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
112 memory.
113
114 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
115 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
116
117 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
118
Theodore Ts'oe1c6b2f2000-12-02 06:19:33 +00001192000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
120
Theodore Ts'o2d091792000-12-02 07:03:32 +0000121 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
122 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
123 #63442)
124
Theodore Ts'oe9f9dd82000-12-02 06:35:07 +0000125 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
126 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
127 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
128 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
129 #65267)
130
Theodore Ts'oe1c6b2f2000-12-02 06:19:33 +0000131 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
132 group names to uid's before storing them in the
133 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
134
Theodore Ts'o8ddaa662000-11-17 04:55:24 +00001352000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
136
137 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
138 option=argument style options, and add support for
139 creating filesystems with external journals.
140
141 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
142
Theodore Ts'o72ed1262000-11-12 19:32:20 +00001432000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
144
145 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
146 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
147
Theodore Ts'o85ef4ae2000-10-24 19:33:45 +00001482000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
149
Theodore Ts'of6f65832000-10-25 03:01:37 +0000150 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
151 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
152 at this point.)
153
Theodore Ts'o0056be12000-10-25 02:24:33 +0000154 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
155 character labels.
156
Theodore Ts'o43819662000-10-25 02:06:09 +0000157 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
158 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
159 other devices.
160
Theodore Ts'o85ef4ae2000-10-24 19:33:45 +0000161 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
162 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
163 journal.
164
Theodore Ts'oe294cf22000-10-24 18:41:44 +00001652000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
166
167 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
168 didn't catch.
169
Theodore Ts'o3f1e9a52000-09-12 21:21:52 +00001702000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
171
172 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
173 systems with four IDE interfaces.
174
Theodore Ts'od7e39b02000-09-11 17:01:35 +00001752000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
176
177 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
178 fails.
179
180 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
181 the inode table location in non-hex format.
182
Theodore Ts'o556ccbd2000-08-20 19:11:05 +00001832000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
184
185 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
186 we can't find the device using the name given by
187 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
188 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
189
Theodore Ts'o80c22c92000-08-14 15:32:11 +00001902000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
191
192 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
193 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
194 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
195
196 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
197
Theodore Ts'oe41784e2000-08-14 14:44:15 +00001982000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
199
200 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
201 zap_sect.
202 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
203 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
204
Theodore Ts'o28412de2000-07-27 02:45:55 +00002052000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
206
207 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
208 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
209
Theodore Ts'of9e67062000-07-13 23:25:54 +00002102000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
211
212 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
213
Theodore Ts'oa551b782000-07-13 22:05:31 +00002142000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
215
216 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
217 are mutually exclusive.
218
219 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
220 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
221 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
222 the long run.)
223
224 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
225 variable before going into the write verification loop.
226 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
227 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
228 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
229 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
230 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
231 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
232 routines anymore.
233
234 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
235 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
236 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
237 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
238 format string.
239
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +00002402000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
241
Theodore Ts'o19c68912000-07-07 03:25:13 +0000242 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
243 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
244 the progress bar display logic.
245
Theodore Ts'o45d9e2f2000-07-07 03:12:54 +0000246 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
247 max_mount_count is negative.
248
249 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
250 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
251 check.
252
Theodore Ts'o5b1519b2000-07-06 14:16:08 +0000253 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
254 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
255 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
256 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
257 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
258 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
259
Theodore Ts'o981dc562000-07-06 14:13:29 +0000260 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
261 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
262 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
263
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +0000264 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
265 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
Theodore Ts'o981dc562000-07-06 14:13:29 +0000266 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
267 for the -f option.
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +0000268
269 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
270 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
271 device as a default.
272
Theodore Ts'od49a22b2000-07-06 00:31:27 +00002732000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
274
275 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
276 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
277 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
278 old, overly complicated logic.
279 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
280 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
281 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
282
Theodore Ts'o26ab5312000-05-29 15:05:42 +00002832000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
284
285 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
286 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
287 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
288 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
289
Theodore Ts'o4ea0a112000-05-08 13:33:17 +00002902000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
291
Theodore Ts'oc96e5112000-05-08 14:47:15 +0000292 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
293 or LABEL= specification is given.
294
Theodore Ts'o4ea0a112000-05-08 13:33:17 +0000295 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
296 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
297 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
298 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
299 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
300 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
301
302 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
303 proceed_question that was busted due to the
304 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
305 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
306 cleared of the previous question's newline.
307
Theodore Ts'oe2207ce2000-04-06 21:51:18 +0000308Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
309
310 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
311 support fdatasync().
312
Theodore Ts'offe4cab2000-04-03 13:27:41 +00003132000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
314
Theodore Ts'o373b8332000-04-03 16:22:35 +0000315 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
316 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
317 manually define optarg and optind.
318
Theodore Ts'o4d003982000-04-03 16:01:11 +0000319 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
320 Beattie.
321
322 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
323 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
324 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
325 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
326
Theodore Ts'offe4cab2000-04-03 13:27:41 +0000327 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
328 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
329 address.
330 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
331
Theodore Ts'oe1a0a3e2000-02-11 05:00:19 +00003322000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
333
334 * chattr.1.in:
335 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
336
337 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
338
339 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
340
341 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
342 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
343
344 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
345 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
346 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
347 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
348 the same flag.
349
350 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
351 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
352 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
353
Theodore Ts'odd018f52000-02-06 23:57:07 +00003542000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
355
Theodore Ts'od9c56d32000-02-08 00:47:55 +0000356 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
357 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
358 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
359 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
360 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
361
Theodore Ts'odd018f52000-02-06 23:57:07 +0000362 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
363 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
364 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
365 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
366 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
367 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
368
369 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
370
Theodore Ts'ob4ee1fb2000-02-02 19:08:51 +00003712000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
372
373 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
374 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
375 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
376 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
377 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
378
379 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
380 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
381
382 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h

390
391 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
392 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
393 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
394 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
395
396 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
397 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
398 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
399 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
400 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
401 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
402 Finally, the original data is written back.
403
404 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
405 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
406 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
407 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
408 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
409 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
410 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
411 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
412 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
413 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
414 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
415 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
416 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
417 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
418 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
419
420 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
421 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
422 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
423 randomly.
424
425 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
426 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
427
428 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
429 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
430 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
431 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
432 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
433 and want the host hard drive to flush.
434
435 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
436 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
437 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
438 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
439 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
440 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
441 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
442 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
443 scan).
444
445 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
446 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
447 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
448 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
449 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
450 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
451 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
452 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
453 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
454 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
455 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
456 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
457 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
458 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
459 completely reliable.
460
461 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
462 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
463 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
464 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
465 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
466 for your information.
467
468 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
469 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
470 which I install which will write back whatever original
471 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
472 (except SIGKILL, of course).
473
474 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
475 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
476 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
477 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
478 could learn how to update the manpage and other
479 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
480 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
481 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
482 should be in the distribution."

485
486 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
487 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
488 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
489
Theodore Ts'obfd21931999-11-23 13:48:58 +00004901999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>

496
497 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
498 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
499 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
500

514
Theodore Ts'o6a35ffa1999-11-04 22:34:43 +00005151999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
516
517 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
518 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
519 fsck -As can do so interactively.
520
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +00005211999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>

526
Theodore Ts'o3bc03661999-10-26 17:17:00 +0000527 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
528 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
529 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
530
Theodore Ts'o36b01301999-10-26 14:38:36 +0000531 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
532 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
533 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
534 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
535
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +0000536 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
Theodore Ts'o9094f281999-10-26 16:42:50 +0000537 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
538 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
539 gcc warnings.
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +0000540
Theodore Ts'ob5135711999-10-26 14:33:24 +0000541 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
542 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
543 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
544 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
545 the child process.
546
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +0000547 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
548 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
549
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +00005501999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
551
552 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
553 happy.
Theodore Ts'oe6597041999-10-26 02:30:16 +0000554 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
555 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
556 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +0000557
558 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
559 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
560 an infinite loop.
561
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +00005621999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>

565
5661999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
567
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +0000568 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
569 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
570 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
571 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
572
573 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
574 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
575 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
576 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
577
Theodore Ts'ocaf8ce41999-10-21 19:56:34 +00005781999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>

581 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
582 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
583 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
584 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
585
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +00005861999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
587
Theodore Ts'o671cbfa1999-10-20 18:14:23 +0000588 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
589 changing the sparse superblock option
590
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +0000591 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
592 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
593 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
594 unhandled SIGUSR1.
595

Theodore Ts'o76714331999-10-20 18:06:29 +0000597
598 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
599 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
600
Theodore Ts'o27401561999-09-14 20:11:19 +00006011999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
602
603 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
604 Dirson.
605
606 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
607 kernels.
608
609 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
610 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
611 flag.
612
613 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
614 (header-only).
615
6161999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
617
618 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
619 superblock option.
620
6211999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o657cb971999-07-30 23:19:10 +0000622
623 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
624
Theodore Ts'o50787ea1999-07-19 15:30:21 +00006251999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
626
627 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
628 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
629 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
630 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
631 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
632 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
633 the filesystem the system would make.
634
6351999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
636
637 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
638 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
639 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
640 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
641 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
642
6431999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o9f10a7b1999-07-16 10:41:36 +0000644
645 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
646 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
647 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
648
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +00006491999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o5dbb0721999-07-03 06:16:06 +0000650
651 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
652 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
653
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +00006541999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o2d8defd1999-07-03 01:59:42 +0000655
656 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
657 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
658 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
659 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
660 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
661 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
662
663 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
664 UUID=bar type specifications.
665
Theodore Ts'o00eedba1999-07-03 00:45:58 +00006661999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
667
668 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
669 clear out a large block number.
670
Theodore Ts'oca3c3281999-06-29 14:37:35 +00006711999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
672
673 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
674 appears mounted if the force option is given.
675
Theodore Ts'oe72a9ba1999-06-25 15:40:18 +00006761999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>

678 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
679 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
680
Theodore Ts'oe2423cc1999-06-18 00:51:31 +00006811999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
682
683 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
684 code cleanups.
685
Theodore Ts'o02e7dd91999-06-18 00:48:41 +00006861999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
687
688 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
689 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
690 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
691 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
692
Theodore Ts'o5d45d801999-03-16 19:35:19 +00006931999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
694
695 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
696 generate UUIDs.
697
6981999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
699
700 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
701 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
702
Theodore Ts'o7d5633c1999-02-09 08:14:28 +00007031999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
704
705 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
706 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
707 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
708 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
709
7101999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
711
712 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
713 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
714 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
715 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
716 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
717 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
718

720
721 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
722 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
723 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
724 fsck pass structure.
725 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
726 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
727 to finish.
728

Theodore Ts'o5515e6b1999-01-05 07:25:06 +0000745 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow the user to specify exactly how many
746 inodes he/she wishes.
747
Theodore Ts'oa88fa0c1999-01-05 07:02:39 +0000748 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
749 program if the -V option is given.
750
751 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
752 through a directory.
753
Theodore Ts'o93ab9d71999-01-02 04:04:42 +00007541999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
755
756 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
757 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
758 /etc/fstab file.
759 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
760 filesystem which we are checking (user request).

833
834 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
835 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
836 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
837 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
838 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.

863 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
864 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

884 first one).
885

954 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
955 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which

1133 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1134 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1135 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1136 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1137 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1138 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1139 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1140 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1141 option turned on.
1142

1155 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1156 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1157 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1158 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1159 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1160
1161Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1162
1163 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1164 ext2fs_test_bit().
1165

1167
1168 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1169 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1170
Theodore Ts'oa418d3a1997-04-26 14:00:26 +00001171Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1172
1173 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1174
1175Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1176
1177 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1178 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1179 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1180
1181Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1182
1183 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1184 the same order.
1185
1186Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1187
1188 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1189 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1190
1191 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1192 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1193 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1194 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1195
1196Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1197
1198 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1199 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1200 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1201 check.
1202
1203Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1204
1205 * badblocks.8:
1206 * chattr.1:
1207 * dumpe2fs.8:
1208 * fsck.8:
1209 * lsattr.1:
1210 * mke2fs.8:
1211 * mklost+found.8:
1212 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1213
1214Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1215
1216 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1217 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1218 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1219
1220 * mke2fs.8:
1221 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1222
1223Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1224
1225 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1226 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(&param), instead of assuming that the
1227 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1228
1229Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1230
1231 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1232 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1233 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1234 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1235 advisable.
1236
1237 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1238 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1239 alloca is not portable!
1240
1241 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1242 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1243 /etc/fstab.
1244
1245 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1246
1247Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1248
1249 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1250 benefit.
1251
1252 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1253
1254 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1255 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1256
1257Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1258
1259 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1260 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1261
1262Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1263
1264 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1265
1266 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1267 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1268
1269 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1270
1271Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1272
1273 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1274 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1275 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1276 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1277
1278 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1279 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1280 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1281 statically sized buffer.
1282 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1283 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1284
1285 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1286 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1287 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1288 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1289 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1290
1291 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1292 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1293 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1294 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1295 (test_rw): Ditto.
1296
1297 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1298 support separate compilation directories.
1299
Theodore Ts'of3db3561997-04-26 13:34:30 +00001300Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1301
1302 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1303 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1304 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1305 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1306
1307 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1308 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1309 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1310 very large partition.
1311
1312 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1313 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1314 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1315
1316 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1317 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1318 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1319 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1320 ioctl, which most do.)
1321
1322 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1323 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1324 during 0.5b development.)
1325
1326Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1327
1328 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1329 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1330 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1331 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1332 measure).
1333
1334 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1335 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1336 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1337
1338Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1339
1340 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1341
1342 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1343 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1344 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1345
1346Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1347
1348 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1349 new options.
1350 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1351
1352Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1353
1354 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1355 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1356 all partitions should be checked.
1357
1358Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1359
1360 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1361 structures.
1362
1363 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1364 the effective uid.
1365
1366Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1367
1368 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1369 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1370
1371Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1372
1373 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1374
1375Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1376
1377 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1378 read-only test.
1379
1380 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1381
1382 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1383
1384 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1385
1386 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1387
1388 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1389
1390Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1391
1392 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1393 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1394 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1395 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1396 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1397
1398 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1399 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1400 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1401 statistics if necessary.
