6
7 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
8 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
9 fsck.h.
10
11 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
12 non-portable.

Theodore Ts'o5599c2f2002-02-03 00:08:52 -050019
20 * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
21 "ext3,ext2", etc.
22
23 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
24 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
25 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
26
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500272002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'oa1069112002-01-29 12:49:14 -050028
29 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
30 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
31 envrionment variable.
32
33 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
34
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500352002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o177ab2b2002-01-27 18:23:49 -050036
37 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
38
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500392002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o5493a272002-01-02 14:15:35 -050040
41 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
42 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
43 opened read-only.
44
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500452001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'od4de4aa2001-12-26 08:58:01 -050046
47 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
48 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
49 the last checked time on the filesystem.
50
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500512001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o6a525062001-12-24 09:40:00 -050052
Theodore Ts'o3ed57c22001-12-24 15:01:59 -050053 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
54 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
55 of the disk.
56
57 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
58 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
59 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
60
61 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
62 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
63
Theodore Ts'o6a525062001-12-24 09:40:00 -050064 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
65 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
66 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
67 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
68 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
69
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500702001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o19007e52001-12-23 19:33:51 -050071
72 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
73 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
74 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
75 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
76 include search path.)
77
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500782001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'oeaf4dc52001-12-22 00:04:22 -050079
80 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
81 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
82 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
83 labels, etc.
84
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500852001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o0655b102001-12-21 23:59:46 -050086
87 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
88 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
89 by eliminating duplicate code paths.

Theodore Ts'o4ea7bd02001-12-16 23:23:37 -050093 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
94 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
95 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
96 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
97 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
98
99 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
100 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
101
Theodore Ts'o8cf93332001-12-16 02:23:36 -0500102 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
103 linux/jbd.h
104
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05001052001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'oa5f0bb92001-12-02 19:29:35 +0100106
107 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
108 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
109 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
110
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05001112001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'oa36cf922001-11-24 16:13:49 -0500112
113 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
114 #119624)
115
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05001162001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o6ef39202001-11-13 18:49:09 -0500117
118 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
119 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
120
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05001212001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o6430bd62001-11-05 18:58:46 -0500122
Theodore Ts'ob3f5b4c2001-11-05 19:22:02 -0500123 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
124 flag.
125
126 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
127
Theodore Ts'o6430bd62001-11-05 18:58:46 -0500128 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
129 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
130 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
131 into a real device name.
132
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05001332001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'oe3ef3502001-11-05 18:57:43 -0500134
135 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
136 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
137 calls are a good thing. <g>
138
Andreas Dilger568101f2001-10-13 01:22:25 -06001392001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>

Theodore Ts'o39567c42001-09-19 15:28:21 -0400150
Theodore Ts'of6a6afc2001-09-19 18:27:39 -0400151 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
152 in use.
153
Theodore Ts'o39567c42001-09-19 15:28:21 -0400154 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
155 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
156
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05001572001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o3f85f652001-09-17 10:38:06 -0400158
159 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
160 zero-filled buffer.
161
Theodore Ts'ofb707752001-09-04 15:00:37 -04001622001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
163
164 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
165
Andreas Dilger9d8e6342001-08-31 10:24:46 -06001662001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
167
168 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.
169
Theodore Ts'o109624a2001-08-31 00:59:55 -04001702001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
171
172 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
173
Theodore Ts'o177a9ac2001-08-30 18:07:40 -04001742001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
175
176 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
177
Theodore Ts'o04a96852001-08-30 21:55:26 -0400178 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
179 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
180 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
181
Andreas Dilger59f27242001-08-30 15:39:04 -06001822001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
183
184 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
185 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
186 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
187 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
188 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
189 small device (less than 64 blocks).
190
Theodore Ts'o0f8973f2001-08-27 12:44:23 -04001912001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
192
Andreas Dilger59f27242001-08-30 15:39:04 -0600193 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
Theodore Ts'o0f8973f2001-08-27 12:44:23 -0400194 e2fsprogs programs.
195
196 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
197 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
198 display, since it only confuses people.
199
Theodore Ts'oe843c762001-08-18 14:22:25 -04002002001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
201
202 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
203 check_uuid.
204
205 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
206 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
207 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
208
Andreas Dilger2d155762001-08-17 03:48:11 -06002092001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
210
211 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
212 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
213 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
214 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
215
216 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
217 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
218 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
219 in the ext2 superblock.
220
221 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
222 malloc'd in interpret spec.
223
Theodore Ts'od2586682001-08-15 11:03:58 -04002242001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

229
Theodore Ts'o7141b542001-08-15 19:17:37 -0400230 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
231 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
232 #108555.)
233
Theodore Ts'o1d349cc2001-08-15 19:06:55 -0400234 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
235
Theodore Ts'o88f8af62001-08-15 18:39:51 -0400236 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
Theodore Ts'o685c13f2001-08-15 19:04:59 -0400237 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
238 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
239 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
Theodore Ts'o88f8af62001-08-15 18:39:51 -0400240
Theodore Ts'of3561ed2001-08-15 11:58:16 -0400241 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
242 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
243 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
244
Theodore Ts'od2586682001-08-15 11:03:58 -0400245 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
246 specified more than once.
247
Theodore Ts'o085b02c2001-08-10 19:13:11 -04002482001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
249
250 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
251 text that erroneously implied that all features
252 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
253 kernels.
254
Theodore Ts'o6304baf2001-08-09 05:41:29 -04002552001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
256
Theodore Ts'oe8a447d2001-08-09 06:13:18 -0400257 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
258 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
259 should not be present.
260
Theodore Ts'o6304baf2001-08-09 05:41:29 -0400261 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
262
Theodore Ts'o8c97b0b2001-08-04 21:14:45 -04002632001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
264
265 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
266 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
267
Theodore Ts'o194686b2001-07-31 12:03:23 -04002682001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
269
270 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
271 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
272 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
273 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
274
Theodore Ts'ode49f012001-07-30 16:31:30 -04002752001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
276
277 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
278 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
279
Theodore Ts'o77dc4eb2001-07-27 22:00:18 -04002802001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
281
282 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
283 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
284 blocksize of the new filesystem.
285
Theodore Ts'o9b61b8c2001-07-20 14:25:23 -04002862001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
287
288 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
289 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
290 Debian bug #30833).
291
Theodore Ts'oda376f52001-07-19 20:38:53 -04002922001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
293
294 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
295 of the filesystem to determines its type.
296
297 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
298 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
299

310 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
311 filesystem journal.
312
Theodore Ts'ocdf186e2001-06-13 22:16:47 +00003132001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
314
Theodore Ts'o66cf2f62001-06-14 06:42:44 +0000315 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
316 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
317 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
318 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
319 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
320
321 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
322 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
323 Dilger.
324
Theodore Ts'ocdf186e2001-06-13 22:16:47 +0000325 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
326 specified to configure.

Theodore Ts'ocbbf0312001-06-13 00:12:04 +0000330 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
331 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
332
333 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
334 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
335 instead.
336
Theodore Ts'o28cf9042001-06-12 22:35:00 +0000337 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
338 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
Theodore Ts'o83d5abf2001-06-13 23:31:27 +0000339 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)

Theodore Ts'ob7056402001-06-08 02:53:20 +00003412001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
342
343 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
344 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
345 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
346
Theodore Ts'o797f5ef2001-06-01 23:49:46 +00003472001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

361
Theodore Ts'oa9bc79a2001-05-23 22:29:22 +0000362 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
363 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
364 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
365
Theodore Ts'oc7a24e42001-05-23 22:26:39 +0000366 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()

372 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
373 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
374 for description of new -t semantics.
375
Theodore Ts'o9164b862001-05-21 01:41:37 +0000376 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
377 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
378 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
379
Theodore Ts'o07025ae2001-05-21 01:39:02 +0000380 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are

382 page.
383
Theodore Ts'o251395d2001-05-14 04:43:05 +00003842001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

417 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
418
Theodore Ts'o6d56d512001-05-12 15:46:21 +0000419 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
420 e2fsprogs package.
421
Theodore Ts'od71a4952001-05-07 16:53:26 +00004222001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

427
Theodore Ts'o609c9d02001-05-05 06:45:05 +0000428 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
429 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
430
Theodore Ts'ocd130a02001-05-05 05:43:23 +0000431 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
432 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
433 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
434
435 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
436 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
437
Theodore Ts'o095b4592001-05-03 13:33:11 +00004382001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
439
Theodore Ts'o348e43d2001-05-03 14:43:43 +0000440 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
441
442 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
443 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
444 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
445
446 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
447 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
448 file.
449
Theodore Ts'o095b4592001-05-03 13:33:11 +0000450 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse

452
Theodore Ts'o45d70862001-05-01 15:44:37 +00004532001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
454
455 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
456 the base device, we should assume that the device is
457 already active in order to force serialization.
458
Theodore Ts'oce57f142001-04-26 04:25:39 +00004592001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
460
461 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
462 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
463 more sense to users.
464
Theodore Ts'o4d0f2282001-04-23 20:58:03 +00004652001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
466
467 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
468 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
469 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
470 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
471 from journal device.
472 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
473 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
474 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
475
Theodore Ts'ob10fd5e2001-04-22 03:47:23 +00004762001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
477
Theodore Ts'o48015ce2001-04-22 03:58:32 +0000478 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
479 documentation for the extern journal device support.
480
Theodore Ts'ob10fd5e2001-04-22 03:47:23 +0000481 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
482 message.
483
Theodore Ts'o1d08d9b2001-04-17 01:01:49 +00004842001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
485
Theodore Ts'o2103ea72001-04-21 20:53:43 +0000486 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
487 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
488
Theodore Ts'od6a27e02001-04-17 02:34:41 +0000489 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
490 number to be treated as a journal size.
491
Theodore Ts'o1d08d9b2001-04-17 01:01:49 +0000492 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
493 look nicer.
494
Theodore Ts'od6a27e02001-04-17 02:34:41 +0000495 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
496 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
497 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
498 entire device to get zero'ed.
499
Theodore Ts'o2537b6d2001-03-26 20:07:13 +00005002001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
501
502 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
Theodore Ts'o8d641742001-05-14 04:12:27 +0000503 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
Theodore Ts'o2537b6d2001-03-26 20:07:13 +0000504 blocks.
505
506 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
507
508 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
509 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
510 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
511 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
512 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
513 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
514 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
515 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
516 using the absolute size of the journal.
517
Theodore Ts'o93345d12001-02-17 06:09:50 +00005182001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
519
520 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
521 Also handle the case where the default journal size
522 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
523 the filesystem will be checked.
524
Theodore Ts'oc5423c52001-02-08 05:45:17 +00005252001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
526
527 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
528
Theodore Ts'offf18b42001-02-08 03:06:43 +00005292001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
530
Theodore Ts'obe4244b2001-02-08 03:28:18 +0000531 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
532 sparse_super.
533
Theodore Ts'o8b164f92001-02-08 03:24:18 +0000534 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
535 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
536 in hex.
537
Theodore Ts'offf18b42001-02-08 03:06:43 +0000538 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
539 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
540
Theodore Ts'o02088862001-01-18 01:44:19 +00005412001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
542
Theodore Ts'odc2ec522001-01-18 01:51:15 +0000543 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
544 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
545 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
546 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
547 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
548 with the rest of the options out there.)
549
550 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
551 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
552 from the external journal's filesystem list.
553
Theodore Ts'o5683e6e2001-01-18 01:47:48 +0000554 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
555 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
556 given a filesystem size.
557
558 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
559 small as 1MB.
560
Theodore Ts'o02088862001-01-18 01:44:19 +0000561 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
562 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
563
Theodore Ts'o16ed5b32001-01-16 07:47:31 +00005642001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
565
566 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
567 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
568 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
569
570 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
571 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
572 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
573 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
574 have been created via separate step.
575
576 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
577 information about an external journal device.
578
Theodore Ts'o4055ef72001-01-14 16:11:14 +00005792001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
580
Theodore Ts'o44c09c02001-01-14 17:02:09 +0000581 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
582 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
583 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
584 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
585 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
586 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
587 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
588 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
589
Theodore Ts'o08dd8302001-01-14 16:25:58 +0000590 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
591
Theodore Ts'o4055ef72001-01-14 16:11:14 +0000592 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
593 stdout after printing in-progress message.
594 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
595 the mount status of the device.
596
Theodore Ts'odfcdc322001-01-11 15:38:00 +00005972001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
598
Theodore Ts'oc8c071a2001-01-11 16:08:23 +0000599 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
600 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
601 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
602 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
603 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
604
Theodore Ts'o4d404542001-01-11 16:04:59 +0000605 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
606 flush the device.
607
Theodore Ts'odfcdc322001-01-11 15:38:00 +0000608 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.

Theodore Ts'o83238152001-01-09 00:16:26 +00006102001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
611
612 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
613 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
614 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
615
Theodore Ts'o8820c792001-01-06 04:20:03 +00006162001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
617
618 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
619 prototype.
620
621 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
622 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
623 complaints.
624
625 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
626
627 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
628 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
629
Theodore Ts'o63985322001-01-03 17:02:13 +00006302001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
631
632 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
633 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
634 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
635 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
636
637 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
638 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
639 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
640
641 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
642 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
643
Theodore Ts'ob21e38a2001-01-01 15:26:58 +00006442001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
645
Theodore Ts'oef9abe52001-01-01 15:31:53 +0000646 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
647 struct ext2_super_block.
648
Theodore Ts'ob21e38a2001-01-01 15:26:58 +0000649 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
650 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
651 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
Theodore Ts'oef9abe52001-01-01 15:31:53 +0000652 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
653 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
654 using our own version now).

657
Theodore Ts'od4cf2fc2000-12-31 14:09:38 +0000658 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
659 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
660 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
661 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
662 the parallel_root option.
663
Theodore Ts'of10748d2000-12-31 13:55:14 +0000664 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
665 the file attributes.
666
667 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
668 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
669
Theodore Ts'o9a718842000-12-31 13:48:12 +0000670 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
671 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
672 support for the journaled data flag.
673
674 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
675

677
678 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
679
680 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
681 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
682
Theodore Ts'ob9fd8c12000-12-29 03:10:45 +00006832000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
684
685 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
686 names.
687
688 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
689 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
690 instead of core dumping.
691
Theodore Ts'o74a74d22000-12-09 14:33:29 +00006922000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
693
Theodore Ts'od48755e2000-12-09 14:36:04 +0000694 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
695 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
696 journal creation routines for this purpose.
697
698 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
699 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
700
Theodore Ts'o74a74d22000-12-09 14:33:29 +0000701 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
702 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
703
Theodore Ts'o793e27d2000-12-03 06:33:56 +00007042000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
705
706 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
707 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
708 memory.
709
710 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
711 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
712
713 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
714
Theodore Ts'oe1c6b2f2000-12-02 06:19:33 +00007152000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
716
Theodore Ts'o2d091792000-12-02 07:03:32 +0000717 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
718 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
719 #63442)
720
Theodore Ts'oe9f9dd82000-12-02 06:35:07 +0000721 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
722 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
723 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
724 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
725 #65267)
726
Theodore Ts'oe1c6b2f2000-12-02 06:19:33 +0000727 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
728 group names to uid's before storing them in the
729 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
730
Theodore Ts'o8ddaa662000-11-17 04:55:24 +00007312000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
732
733 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
734 option=argument style options, and add support for
735 creating filesystems with external journals.
736
737 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
738
Theodore Ts'o72ed1262000-11-12 19:32:20 +00007392000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
740
741 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
742 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
743
Theodore Ts'o85ef4ae2000-10-24 19:33:45 +00007442000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
745
Theodore Ts'of6f65832000-10-25 03:01:37 +0000746 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
747 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
748 at this point.)
749
Theodore Ts'o0056be12000-10-25 02:24:33 +0000750 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
751 character labels.
752
Theodore Ts'o43819662000-10-25 02:06:09 +0000753 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
754 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
755 other devices.
756
Theodore Ts'o85ef4ae2000-10-24 19:33:45 +0000757 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
758 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
759 journal.
760
Theodore Ts'oe294cf22000-10-24 18:41:44 +00007612000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
762
763 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
764 didn't catch.
765
Theodore Ts'o3f1e9a52000-09-12 21:21:52 +00007662000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
767
768 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
769 systems with four IDE interfaces.
770
Theodore Ts'od7e39b02000-09-11 17:01:35 +00007712000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
772
773 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
774 fails.
775
776 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
777 the inode table location in non-hex format.
778
Theodore Ts'o556ccbd2000-08-20 19:11:05 +00007792000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
780
781 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
782 we can't find the device using the name given by
783 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
784 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
785
Theodore Ts'o80c22c92000-08-14 15:32:11 +00007862000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
787
788 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
789 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
790 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
791
792 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
793
Theodore Ts'oe41784e2000-08-14 14:44:15 +00007942000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
795
796 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
797 zap_sect.
798 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
799 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
800
Theodore Ts'o28412de2000-07-27 02:45:55 +00008012000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
802
803 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
804 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
805
Theodore Ts'of9e67062000-07-13 23:25:54 +00008062000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
807
808 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
809
Theodore Ts'oa551b782000-07-13 22:05:31 +00008102000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
811
812 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
813 are mutually exclusive.
814
815 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
816 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
817 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
818 the long run.)
819
820 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
821 variable before going into the write verification loop.
822 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
823 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
824 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
825 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
826 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
827 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
828 routines anymore.
829
830 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
831 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
832 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
833 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
834 format string.
835
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +00008362000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
837
Theodore Ts'o19c68912000-07-07 03:25:13 +0000838 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
839 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
840 the progress bar display logic.
841
Theodore Ts'o45d9e2f2000-07-07 03:12:54 +0000842 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
843 max_mount_count is negative.
844
845 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
846 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
847 check.
848
Theodore Ts'o5b1519b2000-07-06 14:16:08 +0000849 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
850 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
851 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
852 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
853 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
854 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
855
Theodore Ts'o981dc562000-07-06 14:13:29 +0000856 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
857 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
858 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
859
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +0000860 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
861 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
Theodore Ts'o981dc562000-07-06 14:13:29 +0000862 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
863 for the -f option.
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +0000864
865 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
866 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
867 device as a default.
868
Theodore Ts'od49a22b2000-07-06 00:31:27 +00008692000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
870
871 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
872 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
873 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
874 old, overly complicated logic.
875 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
876 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
877 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
878
Theodore Ts'o26ab5312000-05-29 15:05:42 +00008792000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
880
881 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
882 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
883 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
884 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
885
Theodore Ts'o4ea0a112000-05-08 13:33:17 +00008862000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
887
Theodore Ts'oc96e5112000-05-08 14:47:15 +0000888 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
889 or LABEL= specification is given.
890
Theodore Ts'o4ea0a112000-05-08 13:33:17 +0000891 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
892 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
893 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
894 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
895 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
896 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
897
898 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
899 proceed_question that was busted due to the
900 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
901 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
902 cleared of the previous question's newline.
903

905
906 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
907 support fdatasync().
908
Theodore Ts'offe4cab2000-04-03 13:27:41 +00009092000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
910
Theodore Ts'o373b8332000-04-03 16:22:35 +0000911 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
912 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
913 manually define optarg and optind.
914
Theodore Ts'o4d003982000-04-03 16:01:11 +0000915 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
916 Beattie.
917
918 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
919 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
920 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
921 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
922
Theodore Ts'offe4cab2000-04-03 13:27:41 +0000923 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
924 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
925 address.
926 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
927

929
930 * chattr.1.in:
931 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
932
933 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
934
935 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
936
937 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
938 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
939
940 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
941 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
942 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
943 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
944 the same flag.
945
946 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
947 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
948 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.

951
Theodore Ts'od9c56d32000-02-08 00:47:55 +0000952 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
953 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
954 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
955 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
956 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
957
Theodore Ts'odd018f52000-02-06 23:57:07 +0000958 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
959 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
960 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
961 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
962 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
963 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
964
965 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
966
Theodore Ts'ob4ee1fb2000-02-02 19:08:51 +00009672000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
968
969 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
970 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
971 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
972 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
973 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
974
975 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
976 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
977
978 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h

986
987 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
988 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
989 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
990 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
991
992 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
993 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
994 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
995 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
996 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
997 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
998 Finally, the original data is written back.
999
1000 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1001 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1002 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1003 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1004 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1005 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1006 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1007 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1008 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1009 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1010 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1011 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1012 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1013 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1014 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1015
1016 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1017 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1018 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1019 randomly.
1020
1021 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1022 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1023
1024 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1025 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1026 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1027 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1028 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1029 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1030
1031 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1032 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1033 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1034 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1035 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1036 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1037 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1038 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1039 scan).
1040
1041 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1042 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1043 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1044 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1045 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1046 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1047 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1048 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1049 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1050 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1051 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1052 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1053 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1054 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1055 completely reliable.
1056
1057 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1058 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1059 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1060 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1061 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1062 for your information.
1063
1064 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1065 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1066 which I install which will write back whatever original
1067 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1068 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1069
1070 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1071 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1072 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1073 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1074 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1075 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1076 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1077 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1078 should be in the distribution."

1081
1082 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1083 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1084 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1085
Theodore Ts'obfd21931999-11-23 13:48:58 +000010861999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1087
1088 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1089 option is properly named.
1090
Theodore Ts'o6733c2f1999-11-23 02:23:30 +000010911999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1092
1093 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1094 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1095 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1096

1110
Theodore Ts'o6a35ffa1999-11-04 22:34:43 +000011111999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1112
1113 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1114 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1115 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1116
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +000011171999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1118

1120
11211999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1122
Theodore Ts'o3bc03661999-10-26 17:17:00 +00001123 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1124 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1125 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1126
Theodore Ts'o36b01301999-10-26 14:38:36 +00001127 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1128 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1129 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1130 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1131
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +00001132 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
Theodore Ts'o9094f281999-10-26 16:42:50 +00001133 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1134 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1135 gcc warnings.
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +00001136
Theodore Ts'ob5135711999-10-26 14:33:24 +00001137 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1138 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1139 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1140 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1141 the child process.
1142
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +00001143 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1144 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1145
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +000011461999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1147
1148 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1149 happy.
Theodore Ts'oe6597041999-10-26 02:30:16 +00001150 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1151 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1152 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +00001153
1154 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1155 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1156 an infinite loop.
1157
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +000011581999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1159
Theodore Ts'o614fdfd1999-10-23 03:19:51 +00001160 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1161
11621999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1163
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +00001164 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1165 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1166 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1167 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1168
1169 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1170 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1171 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1172 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1173
Theodore Ts'ocaf8ce41999-10-21 19:56:34 +000011741999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1175
1176 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1177 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1178 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1179 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1180 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1181
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +000011821999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1183
Theodore Ts'o671cbfa1999-10-20 18:14:23 +00001184 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1185 changing the sparse superblock option
1186
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +00001187 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1188 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1189 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1190 unhandled SIGUSR1.
1191
11921999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o76714331999-10-20 18:06:29 +00001193
1194 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1195 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1196
Theodore Ts'o27401561999-09-14 20:11:19 +000011971999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1198
1199 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1200 Dirson.
1201
1202 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1203 kernels.
1204
1205 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1206 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1207 flag.
1208
1209 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1210 (header-only).
1211
12121999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1213
1214 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1215 superblock option.
1216
12171999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o657cb971999-07-30 23:19:10 +00001218
1219 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1220
Theodore Ts'o50787ea1999-07-19 15:30:21 +000012211999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1222
1223 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1224 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1225 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1226 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1227 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1228 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1229 the filesystem the system would make.
1230
12311999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1232
1233 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1234 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1235 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1236 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1237 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1238
12391999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o9f10a7b1999-07-16 10:41:36 +00001240
1241 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1242 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1243 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1244
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +000012451999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o5dbb0721999-07-03 06:16:06 +00001246
1247 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1248 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1249
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +000012501999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o2d8defd1999-07-03 01:59:42 +00001251
1252 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1253 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1254 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1255 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1256 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1257 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1258
1259 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1260 UUID=bar type specifications.
1261
Theodore Ts'o00eedba1999-07-03 00:45:58 +000012621999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1263
1264 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1265 clear out a large block number.
1266
Theodore Ts'oca3c3281999-06-29 14:37:35 +000012671999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1268
1269 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1270 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1271
Theodore Ts'oe72a9ba1999-06-25 15:40:18 +000012721999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1273
1274 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1275 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1276
Theodore Ts'oe2423cc1999-06-18 00:51:31 +000012771999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1278
1279 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1280 code cleanups.
1281
Theodore Ts'o02e7dd91999-06-18 00:48:41 +000012821999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1283
1284 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1285 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1286 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1287 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1288
Theodore Ts'o5d45d801999-03-16 19:35:19 +000012891999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1290
1291 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1292 generate UUIDs.
1293
12941999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1295
1296 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1297 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1298
Theodore Ts'o7d5633c1999-02-09 08:14:28 +000012991999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1300
1301 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1302 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1303 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1304 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1305
13061999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1307
1308 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1309 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1310 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1311 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1312 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1313 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1314
Theodore Ts'oee922991999-01-16 05:39:12 +000013151999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1316
1317 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1318 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1319 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1320 fsck pass structure.
1321 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1322 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1323 to finish.
1324
Theodore Ts'o7953f611999-01-09 05:03:52 +000013251999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1332 switch.
1333
Theodore Ts'o665f7101999-01-08 13:33:39 +000013341999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1335
1336 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1337 needs to be treated as zero.
1338
Theodore Ts'oa88fa0c1999-01-05 07:02:39 +000013391999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1340
Theodore Ts'o8d641742001-05-14 04:12:27 +00001341 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1342 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
Theodore Ts'o5515e6b1999-01-05 07:25:06 +00001343
Theodore Ts'oa88fa0c1999-01-05 07:02:39 +00001344 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1345 program if the -V option is given.
1346
1347 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1348 through a directory.
1349
Theodore Ts'o93ab9d71999-01-02 04:04:42 +000013501999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1351
1352 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1353 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1354 /etc/fstab file.
1355 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1356 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1357
13581998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1359
1360 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1361 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1362
Theodore Ts'o556ad131998-12-19 08:10:58 +000013631998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1368
1369 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1370 seperated", instead of common separated)
1371
Theodore Ts'o5a679c81998-12-03 16:40:38 +000013721998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1375
13761998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1377
1378 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1379 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1380 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1381
Theodore Ts'o1dde43f1998-11-14 04:18:28 +000013821998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1383
1384 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1385
1386 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1387 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1388 things look nice on an 80 character display.
1389
13901998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1391
1392 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage
1393 message.

1414 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
1415 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1416 it isn't pretty.)

1429
1430 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
1431 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1432 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1433 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1434 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.

1455 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1456 that the label will be truncated.
1457
1458 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1459 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1460 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
1461

1477
1478 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
1479 bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the
1480 first one).

1553 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1554 bitmaps.
1555
1556 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse

1618
1619 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
1620 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.

1681
1682Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1683
1684 * tune2fs.8.in:

1688
1689 * mke2fs.8.in:

1710
Theodore Ts'o7f88b041997-04-26 14:48:50 +00001711Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1729 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1730 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1731 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1732 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1733 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1734 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1735 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1736 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1737 option turned on.
1738
Theodore Ts'o74becf31997-04-26 14:37:06 +00001739Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1748
1749Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1750
1751 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1752 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1753 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1754 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1755 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1756
1757Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1758

1770
1771Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1772
1773 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1774 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1775 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1776
1777Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1778
1779 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in

1783
1784 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1785 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1786
1787 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1788 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1789 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1790 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.

1794 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1795 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1796 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1797 check.

1801 * badblocks.8:
1802 * chattr.1:
1803 * dumpe2fs.8:
1804 * fsck.8:
1805 * lsattr.1:
1806 * mke2fs.8:
1807 * mklost+found.8:

1809
1810Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1811
1812 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1813 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1814 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1815
1816 * mke2fs.8:
1817 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1818
1819Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1820
1821 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1822 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(&param), instead of assuming that the
1823 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1824
1825Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1826
1827 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1828 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1829 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1830 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1831 advisable.
1832
1833 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1834 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1835 alloca is not portable!
1836
1837 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1838 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1839 /etc/fstab.
1840
1841 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1842
1843Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1844
1845 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1846 benefit.
1847
1848 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1849
1850 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1851 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1852
1853Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1854
1855 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1856 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1857
1858Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1859
1860 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1861
1862 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1863 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1864
1865 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1866
1867Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1868
1869 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1870 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1871 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1872 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1873
1874 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1875 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1876 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1877 statically sized buffer.
1878 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1879 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1880
1881 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1882 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1883 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1884 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1885 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1886
1887 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1888 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1889 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1890 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1891 (test_rw): Ditto.
1892
1893 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1894 support separate compilation directories.
1895
Theodore Ts'of3db3561997-04-26 13:34:30 +00001896Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1897
1898 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1899 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1900 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1901 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1902
1903 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1904 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1905 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1906 very large partition.
1907
1908 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1909 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1910 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1911
1912 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1913 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1914 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1915 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1916 ioctl, which most do.)
1917
1918 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1919 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1920 during 0.5b development.)
1921
1922Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1923
1924 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1925 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1926 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1927 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1928 measure).
1929
1930 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1931 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1932 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1933
1934Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1935
1936 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1937
1938 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1939 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1940 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1941
1942Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1943
1944 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1945 new options.
1946 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1947
1948Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1949
1950 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1951 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1952 all partitions should be checked.
1953
1954Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1955
1956 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1957 structures.
1958
1959 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1960 the effective uid.
1961
1962Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1963
1964 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1965 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1966
1967Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1968
1969 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1970
1971Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1972
1973 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1974 read-only test.
1975
1976 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1977
1978 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1979
1980 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1981
1982 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1983
1984 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1985
1986Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1987
1988 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1989 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1990 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1991 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1992 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1993
1994 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1995 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1996 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1997 statistics if necessary.
