Theodore Ts'o | ae85148 | 1997-04-29 18:13:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 1 | E2fsprogs 1.10 (April 24, 1997) |
| 2 | =============================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Mke2fs once again defaults to creating revision #0 filesystems, since |
| 5 | people were complaining about breaking compatibility with 1.2 kernels. |
| 6 | Warning messages were added to the mke2fs and tune2fs man pages that |
| 7 | the sparse superblock option isn't supported by most kernels yet (1.2 |
| 8 | and 2.0 both don't support parse superblocks.) |
| 9 | |
| 10 | Added new flag to mke2fs, -R <raid options>, which allows the user to |
| 11 | tell mke2fs about the RAID configuration of the filesystem. Currently |
| 12 | the only supported raid option is "stride" which specifies the width |
| 13 | of the RAID stripe. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Fixed bug in e2fsck where pass1b would bomb out if there were any |
| 16 | blocks marked bad in the inode table. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Fixed rare bug in mke2fs where if the user had a very unlucky number |
| 19 | of blocks in a filesystem (probability less than .002) the resulting |
| 20 | filesystem would be corrupt in the last block group. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Fixed bug where if e2fsck tried to allocate a block to fix a |
| 23 | filesystem corruption problem and the filesystem had no free blocks, |
| 24 | ext2fs_new_block() would loop forever. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | The configure script now checks explicitly to see if "-static" works, |
| 27 | since that can't be assumed to be true --- RedHat doesn't install |
| 28 | libc-static by default. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Fixed bug in libext2's block iterator functions where under some |
| 31 | cirmcustances, file with holes would cause the bcount parameter to the |
| 32 | callback function to be incorrect. This bug didn't affect any of |
| 33 | e2fsprogs programs, but it was discovered by Paul Mackerras, the |
| 34 | author of the PPC boot loader. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | Removed use of static variables to store the inode cache in libext2fs. |
| 37 | This caused problems if more than one filesystem was accessed via |
| 38 | libext2fs (static variables in libraries are generally a bad idea). |
| 39 | Again, this didn't affect e2fsprogs programs, but it was discovered by |
| 40 | Paul Mackerras. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | Fixed minor bugs and version code drift to assure that e2fsprogs 1.10 |
| 43 | will compile cleanly with 1.2.13 kernels (even with a.out shared |
| 44 | libraries!) |
| 45 | |
| 46 | Programmer's notes: |
| 47 | ------------------- |
| 48 | |
| 49 | Added new functions to duplicate an ext2 filesystem handle, and its |
| 50 | associated substructure. New functions: ext2fs_dup_handle(), |
| 51 | ext2fs_copy_dblist(), ext2fs_badblocks_copy(), ext2fs_copy_bitmap(). |
| 52 | Other structures, such as the io_channel and the inode_cache, now have |
| 53 | a ref count so that they only get freed when they are no longer used |
| 54 | by any filesystem handle. (These functions were added as part of the |
| 55 | development effort for an ext2 resizer). |
| 56 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2ecc6fe | 1997-04-29 17:57:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 57 | E2fsprogs 1.09 (April 14, 1997) |
| 58 | =============================== |
| 59 | |
| 60 | Fixed bug in mke2fs (really in lib/ext2fs/initialize.c) which was |
| 61 | accidentally introduced in the 1.08 release. The overhead calculation |
| 62 | was accidentally removed, which caused ext2fs_initialize() to not |
| 63 | notice when the filesystem size needed to be adjusted down because |
| 64 | there wasn't enough space in the last block group. |
| 65 | |
| 66 | Fixed bug in version parsing library routine; it was always parsing |
| 67 | the library version string, instead of using the passed-in string. |
| 68 | |
| 69 | Clarified chattr man page. |
| 70 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 24757fa | 1997-04-29 17:39:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 71 | E2fsprogs 1.08 (April 10, 1997) |
| 72 | =============================== |
| 73 | |
| 74 | E2fsck 1.07 was very slow when checking very large filesystems with a |
| 75 | lot of files that had hard links (i.e., news spools). This was fixed |
| 76 | by seriously revamping the icount abstraction. Added a formal test |
| 77 | suite for the icount abstraction. |
| 78 | |
| 79 | Debugfs now has a "-l" option to the "ls" command, which lists the |
| 80 | inode number, permissions, owner, group, size, and name of the files |
| 81 | in the directory. |
| 82 | |
| 83 | Fix a bug in e2fsck where when a directory had its blocks moved to |
| 84 | another location during the pass 1b processing, the directory block |
| 85 | list wasn't updated, so pass 2 wouldn't check (and correct) the |
| 86 | correct directory block. |
| 87 | |
| 88 | E2fsck will now treat inodes which contain blocks which are claimed by |
| 89 | the filesystem metadata by treating them as multiply claimed blocks. |
| 90 | This way, the data in those blocks can be copied to a new block during |
| 91 | the pass 1b--1d processing. |
| 92 | |
| 93 | E2fsck will attempt to determine the correct superblock number and |
| 94 | display it in the diagnostic and warning messages if possible. |
| 95 | |
| 96 | Add support for a new (incompatible) feature, "sparse_super". This |
| 97 | feature reduces the number of blocks which contain copies of backup |
| 98 | superblocks and block group descriptors. (It is only an incompatible |
| 99 | feature because of a bug in ext2_free_blocks.) mke2fs and tune2fs now |
| 100 | support a new -s option; e2fsck will recognize filesystems built with |
| 101 | this feature turned on. |
| 102 | |
| 103 | E2fsck now checks the library to make sure is the correct version, |
| 104 | using new library functions. (This helps to diagnose incorrectly |
| 105 | installed e2fsprogs distributions.) |
| 106 | |
| 107 | Dumpe2fs now prints more information; its now prints the the |
| 108 | filesystem revision number, the filesystem sparse_super feature (if |
| 109 | present), the block ranges for each block group, and the offset from |
| 110 | the beginning of the block group. |
| 111 | |
| 112 | Mke2fs now distributes the inode and block bitmap blok so that the |
| 113 | won't be concentrated in one or two disks in RAID/striping setups. |
| 114 | Also, if the user chooses a 2k or 4k block group, mke2fs will try to |
| 115 | choose the largest blocks per group that be chosen. (For 2k blocks, |
| 116 | you can have up to 16384 blocks/group; for 4k blocks, you can have up |
| 117 | to 32768 blocks/group.) Previously mke2fs would not allow |
| 118 | specification of more than 8192 blocks per group, even if you were |
| 119 | using a 2k or 4k block group. |
| 120 | |
| 121 | Programmer's notes: |
| 122 | ------------------- |
| 123 | |
| 124 | Added a new function ext2fs_create_icount2() which takes a "hint" |
| 125 | argument. This hint argument presets the icount array with the list |
| 126 | of inodes which actually need to be in the icount array. This really |
| 127 | helps to speed up e2fsck. |
| 128 | |
| 129 | Added a new function ext2fs_icount_validate() which checks the rep |
| 130 | invariant for the icount structure. This is used mostly for testing. |
| 131 | |
| 132 | The error mesasage given when a bad inode number is passed to |
| 133 | test_generic_bitmap to reflect EXT2FS_TEST_ERROR (instead of |
| 134 | EXT2FS_UNMARK_ERROR). |
| 135 | |
| 136 | Added a new function ext2fs_set_dir_block which sets the block of a |
| 137 | dblist entry, given the directory inode and blockcnt. |
| 138 | |
| 139 | Added a new function ext2fs_get_library_version() which returns the |
| 140 | current library version, and ext2fs_parse_version_string() which |
| 141 | returns a version number based on a e2fsprogs version string. |
| 142 | |
| 143 | The icount functions will return EINVAL if the passed in inode number |
| 144 | is out of bounds. |
| 145 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 21c84b7 | 1997-04-29 16:15:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 146 | E2fsprogs 1.07 (March 9, 1997) |
| 147 | ============================== |
| 148 | |
| 149 | E2fsck is now uses much less memory when checking really large |
| 150 | filesystems (or rather, filesystems with a large number of inodes). |
| 151 | Previously a filesystem with 1 million inodes required 4 megabytes of |
| 152 | memory to store inode count statistics; that storage requirement has |
| 153 | now been reduced to roughly half a megabyte. |
| 154 | |
| 155 | E2fsck can now properly deal with bad blocks appearing inside the |
| 156 | inode table. Instead of trying to relocate the inode table (which |
| 157 | often failed because there wasn't enough space), the inodes in the bad |
| 158 | block are marked as in use. |
| 159 | |
| 160 | E2fsck will automatically try to use the backup superblocks if the |
| 161 | primary superblocks have a bad magic number or have missing meta-data |
| 162 | blocks (or meta-data blocks which are out of range). |
| 163 | |
| 164 | E2fsck's pass 3 has been made more efficient; most noticeable on |
| 165 | filesystems with a very large number of directories. |
| 166 | |
| 167 | Completely revamped e2fsck's system of printing problem reports. It |
| 168 | is now table driven, to make them more easily customizeable and |
| 169 | extendable. Error messages which can be printed out during preen mode |
| 170 | are now one line long. |
| 171 | |
| 172 | Fixed e2fsck's filesystem swapping code so that it won't try to swap |
| 173 | fast symbolic links or deleted files. |
| 174 | |
| 175 | Fixed e2fsck core dumping when fixing a filesystem which has no |
| 176 | directories (not even a root directory). |
| 177 | |
| 178 | Added a check to e2fsck to make sure that the length of every |
| 179 | directory entry is a multiple of 4 (since the kernel complains if it |
| 180 | isn't). |
| 181 | |
| 182 | Added a check to e2fsck to make sure that a directory entry isn't a |
| 183 | link to the root directory, since that isn't allowed. |
| 184 | |
| 185 | Added a check to e2fsk to now make sure the '.' and '..' directory |
| 186 | entries are null terminated, since the 2.0 kernel requires it. |
| 187 | |
| 188 | Added check to write_bitmaps() to make sure the superblock doesn't get |
| 189 | trashed if the inode or block bitmap is marked as being block zero. |
| 190 | |
| 191 | Added checking of the new feature set fields in the superblock, to |
| 192 | avoid dealing with new filesystem features that this package wasn't |
| 193 | set up to handle. |
| 194 | |
| 195 | Fixed a fencepost error in ext2fs_new_block() which would occasionally |
| 196 | try to allocate a block beyond the end of a filesystem. |
| 197 | |
| 198 | When the UUID library picks a random IEEE 802 address (because it |
| 199 | can't find one from a network card), it sets the multicast bit, to |
| 200 | avoid conflicting with a legitimate IEEE 802 address. |
| 201 | |
| 202 | Mke2fs now sets the root directory's owner to be the real uid of the |
| 203 | user running mke2fs. If the real uid is non-zero, it also sets |
| 204 | the group ownership of the root directory to be the real group-id of |
| 205 | the user running mke2fs. |
| 206 | |
| 207 | Mke2fs now has more intelligent error checking when it is given a |
| 208 | non-existent device. |
| 209 | |
| 210 | When badblocks is given the -vv option, it now updates the block that |
| 211 | it is currently testing on every block. |
| 212 | |
| 213 | Fixed a bug in fsck where it wouldn't modify the PATH envirnoment |
| 214 | currently correctly if PATH wasn't already set. |
| 215 | |
| 216 | Shared libraries now built with dependencies. This allows the shared |
| 217 | library files to be used with dlopen(); it also makes the transition |
| 218 | to libc 6 easier, since ld.so can tell which libc a particular shared |
| 219 | library expects to use. |
| 220 | |
| 221 | Programmer's notes: |
| 222 | ------------------- |
| 223 | |
| 224 | Added new abstraction (defined in dblist.c) for maintaining a list of |
| 225 | blocks which belongs to directories. This is used in e2fsck and other |
| 226 | programs which need to iterate over all directories. |
| 227 | |
| 228 | Added new functions which test to see if a contiguous range of blocks |
| 229 | (or inodes) are available. (ext2fs_*_bitmap_range). |
| 230 | |
| 231 | Added new function (ext2_inode_has_valid_blocks) which returns true if |
| 232 | an inode has valid blocks. (moved from e2fsck code). |
| 233 | |
| 234 | Added new function (ext2fs_allocate_tables) which allocates the |
| 235 | meta-data blocks as part of initializing a filesystem. (moved from |
| 236 | mke2fs code). |
| 237 | |
| 238 | Added a new I/O manager for testing purposes. It will either allow a |
| 239 | program to intercept I/O requests, or print debugging messages to |
| 240 | trace the activity of a program using the I/O manager. |
| 241 | |
| 242 | The badblocks_list functions now store the bad blocks in a sorted |
| 243 | order, and use a binary search to speed up badblocks_list_test. |
| 244 | |
| 245 | The inode scan function ext2fs_get_next_inode() may now return a soft |
| 246 | error returns: MISSING_INODE_TABLE and BAD_BLOCK_IN_INODE_TABLE in |
| 247 | those cases where part of an inode table is missing or there is a bad |
| 248 | block in the inode table. |
| 249 | |
| 250 | Added a new function (ext2fs_block_iterate2) which adds new arguments to |
| 251 | the callback function to return a pointer (block and offset) to the |
| 252 | reference of the block. |
| 253 | |
| 254 | Added new function (ext2fs_inode_scan_goto_blockgroup) which allows an |
| 255 | application to jump to a particular block group while doing an inode |
| 256 | scan. |
| 257 | |
| 258 | The badblocks list functions were renamed from badblocks_* to |
| 259 | ext2fs_badblocks_*. Backwards compatibility functions are available |
| 260 | for now, but programs should be modified to use the new interface. |
| 261 | |
| 262 | Some of the library functions were reorganized into separate files to |
| 263 | reduce the size of some programs which statically link against the |
| 264 | ext2 library. |
| 265 | |
| 266 | Put in some miscellaneous fixes for the Alpha platform. |
| 267 | |

| 269 | E2fsprogs 1.06 (October 7, 1996) |
| 270 | ================================ |
| 271 | |
| 272 | Fixed serious bug in e2fsck: if the block descriptors are bad, don't |
| 273 | smash the backup copies in ext2fs_close(). (The problem was that when |
| 274 | e2fsck -p discovered the problem, while it was closing the filesystem |
| 275 | and exiting, it was also blowing away the backup superblocks on the |
| 276 | disk, which was less than friendly.) We now make it the case that we |
| 277 | only write out the backup superblock and the back block descriptors if |
| 278 | the filesystem is completely free from problems. |
| 279 | |
| 280 | Fixed a bug in block_interate in the lib/ext2fs library which caused |
| 281 | e2fsck to fail on GNU Hurd-created filesystems. |
| 282 | |
| 283 | Add support for Linux/FT's bootloader, which actually uses |
| 284 | EXT2_BOOT_LOADER, and sets its mode bits which caused e2fsck to want |
| 285 | to clear the inode. |
| 286 | |
| 287 | Add support for the "A" (no atime update) attribute. (Note: this |
| 288 | attribute is not yet in production kernels.) |
| 289 | |
| 290 | The test suite is not automatically run when doing a "make all" from |
| 291 | the top level directory. Users should manually run "make check" if |
| 292 | they wish to run the test suite. |
| 293 | |
| 294 | Upon a preenhalt(), make the printed message more explicit that |
| 295 | running e2fsck "MANAULLY" means without the -p or -a options. |
| 296 | |
| 297 | In e2fsck, if a disconnected inode is zero-length, offer to clear it |
| 298 | instead of offering to connect it to lost+found. |
| 299 | |
| 300 | In e2fsck, if a filesystem was just unmounted uncleanly, and needs |
| 301 | e2fsck to be run over it, change e2fsck to explicitly display this |
| 302 | fact. |
| 303 | |
| 304 | For dumpe2fs and e2fsck, cause the -V option to print out which |
| 305 | version of the ext2fs library is actually getting used. (This will |
| 306 | help detect mismatches of using a 1.06 utility with a 1.05 library, |
| 307 | etc.) |
| 308 | |
| 309 | Programmers' notes: |
| 310 | ------------------- |
| 311 | |
| 312 | EXT2_SWAP_BYTES was changed to EXT2_FLAG_SWAP_BYTES, which better fits |
| 313 | the naming convention. |
| 314 | |
| 315 | In ext2fs_initialize(), make sure the description for the inode bitmap |
| 316 | is correctly initialize. |
| 317 | |
| 318 | Fixed minor type typo in ext2fs_allocate_generic_bitmap(); |
| 319 | |
Theodore Ts'o | fc6d9d5 | 1997-04-29 14:51:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 320 | E2fsprogs 1.05 (September 7, 1996) |
| 321 | ================================== |
| 322 | |
| 323 | Add support for new fields in the ext2 superblock --- volume name, |
| 324 | volume UUID, and last mounted field. Dumpe2fs displays these fields, |
| 325 | tune2fs and mke2fs allows you to set them. E2fsck will automatically |
| 326 | generate a UUID for those volumes that don't have them. |
| 327 | |
| 328 | Put in support for e2fsck to recognize HURD specific ext2 features --- |
| 329 | most notably, the translator block. The e2fsprogs tools will now use |
| 330 | the creator_os field in the superblock to correctly handle different |
| 331 | OS-specific variants of the ext2 filesystem. |
| 332 | |
| 333 | E2fsck now fixes inodes which have a the deletion time set, but which |
| 334 | have a non-zero i_link_count field by offering to clear the deletion |
| 335 | time. Previously e2fsck assumed that the inode was deleted (per 0.3c |
| 336 | ext2 kernel behavior) and offered to unlink the file. |
| 337 | |
| 338 | If e2fsck sets the clean bit, but nothing else, set the exit code |
| 339 | FSCK_NONDESTRUCT. After all, e2fsck did fix a filesystem error --- it |
| 340 | set the filesystem valid bit when it was previously cleared. :-) This |
| 341 | was needed to make the HURD fsck driver happy. |
| 342 | |
| 343 | If the user refuses to attach an unattached inode, e2fsck will no |
| 344 | longer set the inode's link count. Otherwise, the inode would end up |
| 345 | getting marked as unused, which might cause loss of data later. |
| 346 | |
| 347 | Make the message issued by e2fsck when the superblock is corrupt less |
| 348 | confusing for users. It now mentions that another reason for the |
| 349 | "corrupt superblock" message might be that the partition might not be |
| 350 | an ext2 filesystem at all (it might swap, msdos filesystem, ufs, etc.) |
| 351 | |
| 352 | Make the libext2 library more robuest so that e2fsck won't coredump on |
| 353 | an illegal superblock where the blocksize is zero. (f_crashdisk is |
| 354 | the test case). |
| 355 | |
| 356 | By default, create filesystems where the default checkinterval is 6 |
| 357 | months (180 days). Linux servers can be robust enough that 20 reboots |
| 358 | can be a long, long time. |
| 359 | |
| 360 | Added configure flag --enable-old-bitops, which forces the bitops to |
| 361 | use the old (native) bitmask operations. By default on the sparc |
| 362 | platform, the standard ext2 bit ordering is now used. |
| 363 | |
| 364 | Added a new feature to e2fsck to byte-swap filesystems; this can be |
| 365 | used to convert old m68k filesystems to use the standard byte-order |
| 366 | storage for the superblock, inodes, and directory blocks. This |
| 367 | function is invoked by using the '-s' option to e2fsck. |
| 368 | |
| 369 | Debugfs's "dump" command has been enhanced so that it writes out the |
| 370 | exact size of the file so that the nulls at the end of the file are |
| 371 | eliminated. The command also accept a new "-p" option which will |
| 372 | attempt preserve to preserve the ownernship, permissions, and |
| 373 | file modification/access times. |
| 374 | |
| 375 | Debugfs has two new options, -f and -R. The -R option allows the user |
| 376 | to execute a single debugfs command from the command line. The -f |
| 377 | option allows the user to specify a "command file" containing debugfs |
| 378 | commands which will get executed. |
| 379 | |
| 380 | Dumpe2fs now pretty prints the check interval, instead of just |
| 381 | printing the check interval as a number of seconds. |
| 382 | |
| 383 | Fix bugs in debugfs: the params command when no filesystem is opened |
| 384 | no longer causes a core dump. It is now possible to unlink a file |
| 385 | when a pathame containing a '/' is specified. |
| 386 | |
| 387 | Tune2fs has a new -C option which sets the number of times the |
| 388 | filesystem has been mounted. |
| 389 | |
| 390 | Fix the chattr '-v' option so that it actually works. Chattr was |
| 391 | being buggy about the -v option parsing. |
| 392 | |
| 393 | Programmers' notes: |
| 394 | ------------------- |
| 395 | |
| 396 | The directory lib/uuid contains a set of library routines to generate |
| 397 | DCE compatible UUIDs. |
| 398 | |
| 399 | Extended ext2fs_namei() to handle symbolic links. Added new function |
| 400 | ext2fs_nami_follow() which will follow last symbolic link in the case |
| 401 | where the pathname points to a sym link. |
| 402 | |
| 403 | The ext2fs_block_iterate function will now return the HURD translator |
| 404 | block, if present. The new flag BLOCK_FLAG_DATA_ONLY will cause the |
| 405 | iterator to return data blocks only. The ext2fs.h file now defines |
| 406 | constants BLOCK_COUNT_IND, BLOCK_COUNT_DIND, BLOCK_COUNT_TIND, and |
| 407 | BLOCK_COUNT_TRANSLATOR, which are the magic values passed in the block |
| 408 | count field of the iterator callback function. |
| 409 | |
| 410 | The test script driver now takes an optional second argument, which is |
| 411 | the test case to be run. This allows you to run a test case without |
| 412 | needing to run the entire test suite. |
| 413 | |
| 414 | On Linux ELF systems, install the .so files in the correct places |
| 415 | (/usr/lib). The .so files must be stored in the same directory as the |
| 416 | .a files. |
| 417 | |
| 418 | Fixed miscellaneous HURD compilation issues with header file being |
| 419 | included in the right order. |
| 420 | |
| 421 | Fixed debugfs so that it resets optind to zero, not one, since setting |
| 422 | optind to zero is more correct. |

| 426 | ============================= |
| 427 | |
| 428 | First "official" (1.03 was a limited release only) to support building |
| 429 | e2fsprogs under Linux 2.0 kernels (as well as late model 1.3 and 1.99 |
| 430 | kernels). |
| 431 | |
| 432 | This package includes a RPM specs file, that it can be built using the |
| 433 | RedHat Package Manager. |
| 434 | |
| 435 | E2fsck now prints a hint that if there are lots of incorrectly located |
| 436 | inode bitmaps, block bitmaps, and inode table blocks, the user might |
| 437 | want to try using e2fsck -b 8193 first, to see if that fares any |
| 438 | better. |
| 439 | |
| 440 | For ext2 filesystem written with the hurd, debugfs will now print out |
| 441 | the translator field when printing an inode structure. |
| 442 | |
| 443 | Lots of miscellaneous linking/installation cleanups: |
| 444 | |
| 445 | Libraries are now linked using a relative pathname, instead of |
| 446 | relying on -L working correct. It doesn't, in many cases, including |
| 447 | current versions of GNU ld. This guarantees that the build tree is |
| 448 | linking with the right libraries, instead of the ones installed in |
| 449 | /usr/lib. |
| 450 | |
| 451 | Header files, man pages, and the et/ss shell scripts are now |
| 452 | generated using a custom substitution script, instead of relying on |
| 453 | the configure script. This prevents needless recompilation of |
| 454 | files; in addition, the custom substitution script is much faster. |
| 455 | |
| 456 | e2fsck may now be linked dynamically, by using the |
| 457 | --enable-dynamic-e2fsck flag to configure. This is not recommended, |
| 458 | since it increases e2fsck's dependence on other files, but some |
| 459 | people need to save disk space, and other critical programs on their |
| 460 | systems were being linked dynamically anyway. |
| 461 | |
| 462 | Programs such as fsck which didn't need to be linked against |
| 463 | libext2fs (or mke2fs which didn't need to be linked against libe2p) |
| 464 | only link against libraries they actually need. Otherwise, those |
| 465 | programs would require the presense of libraries that otherwise |
| 466 | could be removed from a rescuse diskette. |
| 467 | |
| 468 | The ss include files are now installed correctly so they can |
| 469 | actually be used by another package. |
| 470 | |
| 471 | If the profiling libraries are built, they are now installed on a |
| 472 | "make install-libs". |

| 476 | =============================== |
| 477 | |
| 478 | Change the m68k bit numbering for bitmasks to match the bit numbering |
| 479 | used by all other ext2 implementations. (This change was requested by |
| 480 | the m68k kernel development team.) |
| 481 | |
| 482 | Support (in-development) filesystem format revision which supports |
| 483 | (among other things) dynamically sized inodes. |
| 484 | |
| 485 | Fixed a bug in the ext2 library so that an intelligent error is |
| 486 | returned if mke2fs is run with a ridiculously small number of blocks |
| 487 | for a partition. |
| 488 | |
| 489 | Fixed a bug in the ext2 library which required that the device be |
| 490 | openable in read/write mode in order to determine its size. This |
| 491 | caused e2fsck -n to require read/write access when it was not |
| 492 | previously necessary. |
| 493 | |
| 494 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which casued it to occasionally fail the test |
| 495 | suite depending on which version of the floating point library it was |
| 496 | using. |
| 497 | |
| 498 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck so that it now halts with a fatal error when |
| 499 | certain superblock consistency checks fail. Previously it continued |
| 500 | running e2fsck, with some potential confusing/damaging consequences. |
| 501 | |
| 502 | Added new flag to fsck which allows the root to be checked in parallel |
| 503 | with other filesytems. This is not the safest thing in the world to |
| 504 | do, but some system administrators really wanted it. |
| 505 | |

| 509 | E2fsprogs 1.02 (January 16, 1996) |
| 510 | ================================= |
| 511 | |
| 512 | Fix to allow e2fsprogs to be compiled on recent 1.3 (pl45+) kernels. |
| 513 | |
| 514 | Change e2fsck to print statistics of how many non-contiguous files are |
| 515 | on the system. Note that a file which is larger than 8k blocks, it is |
| 516 | guaranteed to be non-contiguous. |
| 517 | |
| 518 | In mke2fs, print a warning message if a user tries to format a whole |
| 519 | disk (/dev/hda versus /dev/hda1). If a user really wants to format a |
| 520 | whole disk, the -F (force) option forces mke2fs to format a whole disk |
| 521 | as a filesytem. |
| 522 | |
| 523 | Fix a bug in fsck where in some cases it might start checking |
| 524 | partitions in the next pass before it finishes checking partitions in |
| 525 | the current pass. This still won't cause two partitions on the same |
| 526 | disk will be checked, so it's rarely a problem in real life. |
| 527 | |
| 528 | Patch lsattr so that it won't hang when checking a named pipe. |
| 529 | |
| 530 | Minor compilation fixes: |
| 531 | * Fix the order of libraries that were linked in debugfs. |
| 532 | * Allow the sources to be compiled with -ansi turned on. |
