2
3 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
4 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
5 blocksize of the new filesystem.

8
9 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
10 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
11 Debian bug #30833).

16 of the filesystem to determines its type.
17
18 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
19 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".

35
Theodore Ts'o66cf2f62001-06-14 06:42:44 +000036 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
37 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
38 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
39 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
40 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
41
42 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
43 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
44 Dilger.
45
Theodore Ts'ocdf186e2001-06-13 22:16:47 +000046 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is

48
Theodore Ts'o28cf9042001-06-12 22:35:00 +0000492001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
50
Theodore Ts'ocbbf0312001-06-13 00:12:04 +000051 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
52 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
53
54 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
55 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
56 instead.
57
Theodore Ts'o28cf9042001-06-12 22:35:00 +000058 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
59 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
Theodore Ts'o83d5abf2001-06-13 23:31:27 +000060 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)

Theodore Ts'ob7056402001-06-08 02:53:20 +0000622001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
63
64 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
65 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
66 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
67
Theodore Ts'o797f5ef2001-06-01 23:49:46 +0000682001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

82
Theodore Ts'oa9bc79a2001-05-23 22:29:22 +000083 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
84 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
85 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
86
Theodore Ts'oc7a24e42001-05-23 22:26:39 +000087 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()

93 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
94 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
95 for description of new -t semantics.
96
Theodore Ts'o9164b862001-05-21 01:41:37 +000097 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
98 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
99 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
100
Theodore Ts'o07025ae2001-05-21 01:39:02 +0000101 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are

103 page.
104
Theodore Ts'o251395d2001-05-14 04:43:05 +00001052001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

117 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
118
Theodore Ts'o8d641742001-05-14 04:12:27 +00001192001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

138 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
139
Theodore Ts'o6d56d512001-05-12 15:46:21 +0000140 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
141 e2fsprogs package.
142
Theodore Ts'od71a4952001-05-07 16:53:26 +00001432001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

150 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
151
Theodore Ts'ocd130a02001-05-05 05:43:23 +0000152 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
153 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
154 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
155
156 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
157 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
158
Theodore Ts'o095b4592001-05-03 13:33:11 +00001592001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
160
Theodore Ts'o348e43d2001-05-03 14:43:43 +0000161 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
162
163 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
164 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
165 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
166
167 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
168 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
169 file.
170
Theodore Ts'o095b4592001-05-03 13:33:11 +0000171 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse

173
Theodore Ts'o45d70862001-05-01 15:44:37 +00001742001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
175
176 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
177 the base device, we should assume that the device is
178 already active in order to force serialization.
179
Theodore Ts'oce57f142001-04-26 04:25:39 +00001802001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
181
182 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
183 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
184 more sense to users.
185
Theodore Ts'o4d0f2282001-04-23 20:58:03 +00001862001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
187
188 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
189 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
190 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
191 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
192 from journal device.
193 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
194 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
195 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
196
Theodore Ts'ob10fd5e2001-04-22 03:47:23 +00001972001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
198
Theodore Ts'o48015ce2001-04-22 03:58:32 +0000199 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
200 documentation for the extern journal device support.
201
Theodore Ts'ob10fd5e2001-04-22 03:47:23 +0000202 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
203 message.
204
Theodore Ts'o1d08d9b2001-04-17 01:01:49 +00002052001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
206
Theodore Ts'o2103ea72001-04-21 20:53:43 +0000207 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
208 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
209
Theodore Ts'od6a27e02001-04-17 02:34:41 +0000210 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
211 number to be treated as a journal size.
212
Theodore Ts'o1d08d9b2001-04-17 01:01:49 +0000213 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
214 look nicer.
215
Theodore Ts'od6a27e02001-04-17 02:34:41 +0000216 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
217 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
218 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
219 entire device to get zero'ed.
220
Theodore Ts'o2537b6d2001-03-26 20:07:13 +00002212001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
222
223 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
Theodore Ts'o8d641742001-05-14 04:12:27 +0000224 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
Theodore Ts'o2537b6d2001-03-26 20:07:13 +0000225 blocks.
226
227 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
228
229 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
230 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
231 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
232 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
233 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
234 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
235 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
236 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
237 using the absolute size of the journal.
238
Theodore Ts'o93345d12001-02-17 06:09:50 +00002392001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
240
241 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
242 Also handle the case where the default journal size
243 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
244 the filesystem will be checked.
245
Theodore Ts'oc5423c52001-02-08 05:45:17 +00002462001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
247
248 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
249
Theodore Ts'offf18b42001-02-08 03:06:43 +00002502001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
251
Theodore Ts'obe4244b2001-02-08 03:28:18 +0000252 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
253 sparse_super.
254
Theodore Ts'o8b164f92001-02-08 03:24:18 +0000255 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
256 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
257 in hex.
258
Theodore Ts'offf18b42001-02-08 03:06:43 +0000259 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
260 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
261
Theodore Ts'o02088862001-01-18 01:44:19 +00002622001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
263
Theodore Ts'odc2ec522001-01-18 01:51:15 +0000264 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
265 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
266 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
267 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
268 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
269 with the rest of the options out there.)
270
271 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
272 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
273 from the external journal's filesystem list.
274
Theodore Ts'o5683e6e2001-01-18 01:47:48 +0000275 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
276 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
277 given a filesystem size.
278
279 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
280 small as 1MB.
281
Theodore Ts'o02088862001-01-18 01:44:19 +0000282 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
283 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
284
Theodore Ts'o16ed5b32001-01-16 07:47:31 +00002852001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
286
287 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
288 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
289 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
290
291 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
292 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
293 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
294 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
295 have been created via separate step.
296
297 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
298 information about an external journal device.
299
Theodore Ts'o4055ef72001-01-14 16:11:14 +00003002001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
301
Theodore Ts'o44c09c02001-01-14 17:02:09 +0000302 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
303 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
304 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
305 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
306 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
307 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
308 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
309 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
310
Theodore Ts'o08dd8302001-01-14 16:25:58 +0000311 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
312
Theodore Ts'o4055ef72001-01-14 16:11:14 +0000313 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
314 stdout after printing in-progress message.
315 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
316 the mount status of the device.
317
Theodore Ts'odfcdc322001-01-11 15:38:00 +00003182001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
319
Theodore Ts'oc8c071a2001-01-11 16:08:23 +0000320 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
321 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
322 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
323 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
324 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
325
Theodore Ts'o4d404542001-01-11 16:04:59 +0000326 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
327 flush the device.
328
Theodore Ts'odfcdc322001-01-11 15:38:00 +0000329 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
330
Theodore Ts'o83238152001-01-09 00:16:26 +00003312001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
332
333 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
334 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
335 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.

338
339 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
340 prototype.
341
342 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
343 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
344 complaints.
345
346 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
347
348 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
349 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
350
Theodore Ts'o63985322001-01-03 17:02:13 +00003512001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
352
353 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
354 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
355 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
356 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
357
358 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
359 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
360 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
361
362 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
363 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
364
Theodore Ts'ob21e38a2001-01-01 15:26:58 +00003652001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
366
Theodore Ts'oef9abe52001-01-01 15:31:53 +0000367 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
368 struct ext2_super_block.
369
Theodore Ts'ob21e38a2001-01-01 15:26:58 +0000370 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
371 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
372 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
Theodore Ts'oef9abe52001-01-01 15:31:53 +0000373 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
374 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
375 using our own version now).
Theodore Ts'ob21e38a2001-01-01 15:26:58 +0000376
Theodore Ts'o9a718842000-12-31 13:48:12 +00003772000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
378
Theodore Ts'od4cf2fc2000-12-31 14:09:38 +0000379 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
380 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
381 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
382 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
383 the parallel_root option.
384
Theodore Ts'of10748d2000-12-31 13:55:14 +0000385 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
386 the file attributes.
387
388 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
389 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
390
Theodore Ts'o9a718842000-12-31 13:48:12 +0000391 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
392 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
393 support for the journaled data flag.
394
395 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
396
Theodore Ts'o16ad3332000-12-31 03:21:56 +00003972000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
398
399 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
400
401 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
402 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
403
Theodore Ts'ob9fd8c12000-12-29 03:10:45 +00004042000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
405
406 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
407 names.
408
409 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
410 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
411 instead of core dumping.
412
Theodore Ts'o74a74d22000-12-09 14:33:29 +00004132000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
414
Theodore Ts'od48755e2000-12-09 14:36:04 +0000415 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
416 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
417 journal creation routines for this purpose.
418
419 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
420 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
421
Theodore Ts'o74a74d22000-12-09 14:33:29 +0000422 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
423 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
424
Theodore Ts'o793e27d2000-12-03 06:33:56 +00004252000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
426
427 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
428 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
429 memory.
430
431 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
432 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
433
434 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
435
Theodore Ts'oe1c6b2f2000-12-02 06:19:33 +00004362000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
437
Theodore Ts'o2d091792000-12-02 07:03:32 +0000438 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
439 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
440 #63442)
441
Theodore Ts'oe9f9dd82000-12-02 06:35:07 +0000442 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
443 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
444 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
445 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
446 #65267)
447
Theodore Ts'oe1c6b2f2000-12-02 06:19:33 +0000448 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
449 group names to uid's before storing them in the
450 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
451
Theodore Ts'o8ddaa662000-11-17 04:55:24 +00004522000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
453
454 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
455 option=argument style options, and add support for
456 creating filesystems with external journals.
457
458 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
459
Theodore Ts'o72ed1262000-11-12 19:32:20 +00004602000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
461
462 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
463 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
464
Theodore Ts'o85ef4ae2000-10-24 19:33:45 +00004652000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
466
Theodore Ts'of6f65832000-10-25 03:01:37 +0000467 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
468 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
469 at this point.)
470
Theodore Ts'o0056be12000-10-25 02:24:33 +0000471 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
472 character labels.
473
Theodore Ts'o43819662000-10-25 02:06:09 +0000474 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
475 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
476 other devices.
477
Theodore Ts'o85ef4ae2000-10-24 19:33:45 +0000478 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
479 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
480 journal.
481
Theodore Ts'oe294cf22000-10-24 18:41:44 +00004822000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
483
484 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
485 didn't catch.
486
Theodore Ts'o3f1e9a52000-09-12 21:21:52 +00004872000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
488
489 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
490 systems with four IDE interfaces.
491
Theodore Ts'od7e39b02000-09-11 17:01:35 +00004922000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
493
494 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
495 fails.
496
497 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
498 the inode table location in non-hex format.
499
Theodore Ts'o556ccbd2000-08-20 19:11:05 +00005002000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
501
502 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
503 we can't find the device using the name given by
504 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
505 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
506
Theodore Ts'o80c22c92000-08-14 15:32:11 +00005072000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
508
509 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
510 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
511 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
512
513 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
514
Theodore Ts'oe41784e2000-08-14 14:44:15 +00005152000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
516
517 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
518 zap_sect.
519 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
520 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
521
Theodore Ts'o28412de2000-07-27 02:45:55 +00005222000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
523
524 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
525 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
526
Theodore Ts'of9e67062000-07-13 23:25:54 +00005272000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
528
529 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
530
Theodore Ts'oa551b782000-07-13 22:05:31 +00005312000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
532
533 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
534 are mutually exclusive.
535
536 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
537 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
538 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
539 the long run.)
540
541 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
542 variable before going into the write verification loop.
543 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
544 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
545 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
546 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
547 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
548 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
549 routines anymore.
550
551 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
552 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
553 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
554 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
555 format string.
556
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +00005572000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
558
Theodore Ts'o19c68912000-07-07 03:25:13 +0000559 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
560 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
561 the progress bar display logic.
562
Theodore Ts'o45d9e2f2000-07-07 03:12:54 +0000563 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
564 max_mount_count is negative.
565
566 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
567 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
568 check.
569
Theodore Ts'o5b1519b2000-07-06 14:16:08 +0000570 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
571 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
572 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
573 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
574 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
575 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
576
Theodore Ts'o981dc562000-07-06 14:13:29 +0000577 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
578 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
579 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
580
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +0000581 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
582 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
Theodore Ts'o981dc562000-07-06 14:13:29 +0000583 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
584 for the -f option.
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +0000585
586 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
587 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
588 device as a default.
589
Theodore Ts'od49a22b2000-07-06 00:31:27 +00005902000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
591
592 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
593 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
594 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
595 old, overly complicated logic.
596 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
597 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
598 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
599
Theodore Ts'o26ab5312000-05-29 15:05:42 +00006002000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
601
602 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
603 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
604 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
605 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
606
Theodore Ts'o4ea0a112000-05-08 13:33:17 +00006072000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
608
Theodore Ts'oc96e5112000-05-08 14:47:15 +0000609 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
610 or LABEL= specification is given.
611
Theodore Ts'o4ea0a112000-05-08 13:33:17 +0000612 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
613 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
614 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
615 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
616 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
617 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
618
619 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
620 proceed_question that was busted due to the
621 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
622 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
623 cleared of the previous question's newline.
624
Theodore Ts'oe2207ce2000-04-06 21:51:18 +0000625Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
626
627 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
628 support fdatasync().
629
Theodore Ts'offe4cab2000-04-03 13:27:41 +00006302000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
631
Theodore Ts'o373b8332000-04-03 16:22:35 +0000632 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
633 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
634 manually define optarg and optind.
635
Theodore Ts'o4d003982000-04-03 16:01:11 +0000636 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
637 Beattie.
638
639 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
640 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
641 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
642 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
643
Theodore Ts'offe4cab2000-04-03 13:27:41 +0000644 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
645 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
646 address.
647 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
648
Theodore Ts'oe1a0a3e2000-02-11 05:00:19 +00006492000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
650
651 * chattr.1.in:
652 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
653
654 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
655
656 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
657
658 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
659 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
660
661 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
662 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
663 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
664 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
665 the same flag.
666
667 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
668 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
669 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
670

672
Theodore Ts'od9c56d32000-02-08 00:47:55 +0000673 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
674 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
675 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
676 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
677 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
678
Theodore Ts'odd018f52000-02-06 23:57:07 +0000679 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
680 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
681 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
682 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
683 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
684 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
685
686 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
687
Theodore Ts'ob4ee1fb2000-02-02 19:08:51 +00006882000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
689
690 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
691 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
692 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
693 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
694 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
695
696 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
697 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
698
699 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h

702
703 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly

Theodore Ts'o879ac922000-01-18 20:59:11 +00007062000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
707
708 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
709 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
710 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
711 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:

713 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
714 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
715 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
716 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
717 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
718 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
719 Finally, the original data is written back.
720
721 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
722 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
723 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
724 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
725 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
726 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
727 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
728 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
729 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
730 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
731 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
732 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
733 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
734 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
735 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
736
737 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
738 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
739 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
740 randomly.
741
742 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
743 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
744
745 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
746 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
747 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
748 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
749 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
750 and want the host hard drive to flush.
751
752 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
753 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
754 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
755 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
756 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
757 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
758 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
759 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
760 scan).
761
762 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
763 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
764 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
765 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
766 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
767 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
768 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
769 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
770 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
771 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
772 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
773 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
774 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
775 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
776 completely reliable.
777
778 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
779 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
780 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
781 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
782 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
783 for your information.
784
785 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
786 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
787 which I install which will write back whatever original
788 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
789 (except SIGKILL, of course).
790
791 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
792 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
793 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
794 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
795 could learn how to update the manpage and other
796 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
797 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
798 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
799 should be in the distribution."

846 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
847
Theodore Ts'o36b01301999-10-26 14:38:36 +0000848 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
849 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
850 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
851 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
852

Theodore Ts'ob5135711999-10-26 14:33:24 +0000858 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
859 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
860 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
861 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
862 the child process.
863
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +0000864 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we

886 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
887 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
888 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
889
890 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
891 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
892 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
893 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.

907
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +0000908 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
909 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
910 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
911 unhandled SIGUSR1.

927 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
928 flag.
929
930 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
931 (header-only).

943
944 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
945 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
946 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
947 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
948 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
949 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
950 the filesystem the system would make.
951
9521999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
953
954 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
955 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
956 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
957 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
958 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.

Theodore Ts'o9f10a7b1999-07-16 10:41:36 +0000961
962 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
963 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
964 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
965
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +00009661999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>

Theodore Ts'o2d8defd1999-07-03 01:59:42 +0000972
973 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
974 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
975 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
976 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
977 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
978 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
979
980 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
981 UUID=bar type specifications.

1004
1005 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1006 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1007 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1008 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.

1021
1022 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1023 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1024 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1025 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1026
10271999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1028
1029 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1030 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1031 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1032 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1033 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1034 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.

1037
1038 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1039 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1040 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1041 fsck pass structure.
1042 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1043 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1044 to finish.

Theodore Ts'oa88fa0c1999-01-05 07:02:39 +00001065 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1066 program if the -V option is given.
1067
1068 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1069 through a directory.
1070

1072
1073 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1074 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1075 /etc/fstab file.
1076 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1077 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1078
10791998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1080
1081 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1082 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.

1089
1090 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_

1098
1099 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1100 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1101 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.

1136 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1137 it isn't pretty.)

1140
1141 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number

1150
1151 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
1152 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1153 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1154 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1155 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.

1170
1171 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that

1176 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1177 that the label will be truncated.
1178
1179 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1180 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1181 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
1182
Theodore Ts'obbfa3aa1998-03-21 07:12:46 +000011831998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1275 bitmaps.
1276
1277 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse

1339
1340 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
1341 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.

1431
Theodore Ts'o7f88b041997-04-26 14:48:50 +00001432Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1450 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1451 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1452 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1453 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1454 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1455 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1456 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1457 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1458 option turned on.
1459

1470Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1471
1472 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1473 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1474 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1475 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1476 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1477
1478Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1479
1480 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1481 ext2fs_test_bit().
1482
Theodore Ts'o297f47a1997-04-26 14:25:20 +00001483Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1484
1485 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1486 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1487
Theodore Ts'oa418d3a1997-04-26 14:00:26 +00001488Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1489
1490 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1491
1492Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1493
1494 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1495 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1496 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1497
1498Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1499
1500 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1501 the same order.
1502
1503Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1504
1505 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1506 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1507
1508 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1509 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1510 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1511 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1512
1513Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1514
1515 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1516 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1517 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1518 check.
1519
1520Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1521
1522 * badblocks.8:
1523 * chattr.1:
1524 * dumpe2fs.8:
1525 * fsck.8:
1526 * lsattr.1:
1527 * mke2fs.8:
1528 * mklost+found.8:
1529 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1530
1531Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1532
1533 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1534 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1535 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1536
1537 * mke2fs.8:
1538 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1539
1540Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1541
1542 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1543 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(&param), instead of assuming that the
1544 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1545
1546Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1547
1548 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1549 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1550 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1551 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1552 advisable.
1553
1554 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1555 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1556 alloca is not portable!
1557
1558 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1559 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1560 /etc/fstab.
1561
1562 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1563
1564Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1565
1566 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1567 benefit.
1568
1569 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1570
1571 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1572 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1573
1574Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1575
1576 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1577 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1578
1579Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1580
1581 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1582
1583 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1584 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1585
1586 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1587
1588Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1589
1590 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1591 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1592 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1593 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1594
1595 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1596 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1597 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1598 statically sized buffer.
1599 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1600 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1601
1602 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1603 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1604 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1605 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1606 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1607
1608 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1609 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1610 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1611 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1612 (test_rw): Ditto.
1613
1614 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1615 support separate compilation directories.
1616
Theodore Ts'of3db3561997-04-26 13:34:30 +00001617Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1618
1619 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1620 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1621 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1622 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1623
1624 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1625 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1626 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1627 very large partition.
1628
1629 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1630 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1631 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1632
1633 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1634 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1635 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1636 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1637 ioctl, which most do.)
1638
1639 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1640 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1641 during 0.5b development.)
1642
1643Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1644
1645 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1646 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1647 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1648 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1649 measure).
1650
1651 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1652 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1653 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1654
1655Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1656
1657 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1658
1659 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1660 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1661 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1662
1663Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1664
1665 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1666 new options.
1667 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1668
1669Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1670
1671 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1672 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1673 all partitions should be checked.
1674
1675Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1676
1677 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1678 structures.
1679
1680 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1681 the effective uid.
1682
1683Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1684
1685 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1686 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1687
1688Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1689
1690 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1691
1692Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1693
1694 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1695 read-only test.
1696
1697 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1698
1699 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1700
1701 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1702
1703 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1704
1705 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1706
1707Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1708
1709 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1710 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1711 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1712 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1713 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1714
1715 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1716 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1717 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1718 statistics if necessary.
