2
Theodore Ts'obe4244b2001-02-08 03:28:18 +00003 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
4 sparse_super.
5
Theodore Ts'o8b164f92001-02-08 03:24:18 +00006 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
7 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
8 in hex.
9
Theodore Ts'offf18b42001-02-08 03:06:43 +000010 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
11 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
12
Theodore Ts'o02088862001-01-18 01:44:19 +0000132001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
14
Theodore Ts'odc2ec522001-01-18 01:51:15 +000015 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
16 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
17 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
18 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
19 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
20 with the rest of the options out there.)
21
22 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
23 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
24 from the external journal's filesystem list.
25
Theodore Ts'o5683e6e2001-01-18 01:47:48 +000026 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
27 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
28 given a filesystem size.
29
30 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
31 small as 1MB.
32
Theodore Ts'o02088862001-01-18 01:44:19 +000033 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
34 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
35
Theodore Ts'o16ed5b32001-01-16 07:47:31 +0000362001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
37
38 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
39 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
40 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
41
42 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
43 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
44 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
45 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
46 have been created via separate step.
47
48 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
49 information about an external journal device.
50
Theodore Ts'o4055ef72001-01-14 16:11:14 +0000512001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
52
Theodore Ts'o44c09c02001-01-14 17:02:09 +000053 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
54 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
55 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
56 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
57 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
58 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
59 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
60 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
61
Theodore Ts'o08dd8302001-01-14 16:25:58 +000062 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
63
Theodore Ts'o4055ef72001-01-14 16:11:14 +000064 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
65 stdout after printing in-progress message.
66 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
67 the mount status of the device.
68
Theodore Ts'odfcdc322001-01-11 15:38:00 +0000692001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
70
Theodore Ts'oc8c071a2001-01-11 16:08:23 +000071 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
72 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
73 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
74 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
75 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
76
Theodore Ts'o4d404542001-01-11 16:04:59 +000077 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
78 flush the device.
79
Theodore Ts'odfcdc322001-01-11 15:38:00 +000080 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
81
Theodore Ts'o83238152001-01-09 00:16:26 +0000822001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
83
84 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
85 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
86 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
87
Theodore Ts'o8820c792001-01-06 04:20:03 +0000882001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
89
90 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
91 prototype.
92
93 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
94 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
95 complaints.
96
97 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
98
99 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
100 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
101
Theodore Ts'o63985322001-01-03 17:02:13 +00001022001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
103
104 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
105 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
106 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
107 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
108
109 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
110 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
111 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
112
113 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
114 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
115
Theodore Ts'ob21e38a2001-01-01 15:26:58 +00001162001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
117
Theodore Ts'oef9abe52001-01-01 15:31:53 +0000118 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
119 struct ext2_super_block.
120
Theodore Ts'ob21e38a2001-01-01 15:26:58 +0000121 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
122 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
123 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
Theodore Ts'oef9abe52001-01-01 15:31:53 +0000124 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
125 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
126 using our own version now).
Theodore Ts'ob21e38a2001-01-01 15:26:58 +0000127
Theodore Ts'o9a718842000-12-31 13:48:12 +00001282000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
129
Theodore Ts'od4cf2fc2000-12-31 14:09:38 +0000130 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
131 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
132 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
133 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
134 the parallel_root option.
135
Theodore Ts'of10748d2000-12-31 13:55:14 +0000136 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
137 the file attributes.
138
139 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
140 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
141
Theodore Ts'o9a718842000-12-31 13:48:12 +0000142 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
143 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
144 support for the journaled data flag.
145
146 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
147
Theodore Ts'o16ad3332000-12-31 03:21:56 +00001482000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
149
150 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
151
152 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
153 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
154
Theodore Ts'ob9fd8c12000-12-29 03:10:45 +00001552000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
156
157 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
158 names.
159
160 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
161 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
162 instead of core dumping.
163
Theodore Ts'o74a74d22000-12-09 14:33:29 +00001642000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
165
Theodore Ts'od48755e2000-12-09 14:36:04 +0000166 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
167 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
168 journal creation routines for this purpose.
169
170 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
171 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
172
Theodore Ts'o74a74d22000-12-09 14:33:29 +0000173 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
174 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
175
Theodore Ts'o793e27d2000-12-03 06:33:56 +00001762000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
177
178 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
179 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
180 memory.
181
182 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
183 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
184
185 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
186
Theodore Ts'oe1c6b2f2000-12-02 06:19:33 +00001872000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
188
Theodore Ts'o2d091792000-12-02 07:03:32 +0000189 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
190 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
191 #63442)
192
Theodore Ts'oe9f9dd82000-12-02 06:35:07 +0000193 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
194 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
195 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
196 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
197 #65267)
198
Theodore Ts'oe1c6b2f2000-12-02 06:19:33 +0000199 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
200 group names to uid's before storing them in the
201 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
202
Theodore Ts'o8ddaa662000-11-17 04:55:24 +00002032000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
204
205 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
206 option=argument style options, and add support for
207 creating filesystems with external journals.
208
209 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
210
Theodore Ts'o72ed1262000-11-12 19:32:20 +00002112000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
212
213 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
214 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
215
Theodore Ts'o85ef4ae2000-10-24 19:33:45 +00002162000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
217
Theodore Ts'of6f65832000-10-25 03:01:37 +0000218 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
219 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
220 at this point.)
221
Theodore Ts'o0056be12000-10-25 02:24:33 +0000222 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
223 character labels.
224
Theodore Ts'o43819662000-10-25 02:06:09 +0000225 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
226 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
227 other devices.
228
Theodore Ts'o85ef4ae2000-10-24 19:33:45 +0000229 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
230 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
231 journal.
232
Theodore Ts'oe294cf22000-10-24 18:41:44 +00002332000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
234
235 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
236 didn't catch.
237
Theodore Ts'o3f1e9a52000-09-12 21:21:52 +00002382000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
239
240 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
241 systems with four IDE interfaces.
242
Theodore Ts'od7e39b02000-09-11 17:01:35 +00002432000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
244
245 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
246 fails.
247
248 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
249 the inode table location in non-hex format.
250
Theodore Ts'o556ccbd2000-08-20 19:11:05 +00002512000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
252
253 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
254 we can't find the device using the name given by
255 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
256 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
257
Theodore Ts'o80c22c92000-08-14 15:32:11 +00002582000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
259
260 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
261 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
262 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
263
264 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
265
Theodore Ts'oe41784e2000-08-14 14:44:15 +00002662000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
267
268 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
269 zap_sect.
270 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
271 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
272
Theodore Ts'o28412de2000-07-27 02:45:55 +00002732000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
274
275 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
276 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
277
Theodore Ts'of9e67062000-07-13 23:25:54 +00002782000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
279
280 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
281
Theodore Ts'oa551b782000-07-13 22:05:31 +00002822000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
283
284 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
285 are mutually exclusive.
286
287 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
288 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
289 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
290 the long run.)
291
292 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
293 variable before going into the write verification loop.
294 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
295 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
296 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
297 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
298 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
299 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
300 routines anymore.
301
302 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
303 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
304 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
305 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
306 format string.
307
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +00003082000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
309
Theodore Ts'o19c68912000-07-07 03:25:13 +0000310 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
311 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
312 the progress bar display logic.
313
Theodore Ts'o45d9e2f2000-07-07 03:12:54 +0000314 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
315 max_mount_count is negative.
316
317 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
318 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
319 check.
320
Theodore Ts'o5b1519b2000-07-06 14:16:08 +0000321 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
322 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
323 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
324 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
325 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
326 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
327
Theodore Ts'o981dc562000-07-06 14:13:29 +0000328 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
329 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
330 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
331
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +0000332 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
333 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
Theodore Ts'o981dc562000-07-06 14:13:29 +0000334 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
335 for the -f option.
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +0000336
337 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
338 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
339 device as a default.
340
Theodore Ts'od49a22b2000-07-06 00:31:27 +00003412000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
342
343 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
344 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
345 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
346 old, overly complicated logic.
347 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
348 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
349 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
350
Theodore Ts'o26ab5312000-05-29 15:05:42 +00003512000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
352
353 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
354 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
355 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
356 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
357
Theodore Ts'o4ea0a112000-05-08 13:33:17 +00003582000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
359
Theodore Ts'oc96e5112000-05-08 14:47:15 +0000360 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
361 or LABEL= specification is given.
362
Theodore Ts'o4ea0a112000-05-08 13:33:17 +0000363 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
364 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
365 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
366 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
367 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
368 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
369
370 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
371 proceed_question that was busted due to the
372 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
373 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
374 cleared of the previous question's newline.

382
Theodore Ts'o373b8332000-04-03 16:22:35 +0000383 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
384 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
385 manually define optarg and optind.
386
Theodore Ts'o4d003982000-04-03 16:01:11 +0000387 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
388 Beattie.
389
390 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
391 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
392 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
393 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
394
Theodore Ts'offe4cab2000-04-03 13:27:41 +0000395 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
396 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
397 address.

401
402 * chattr.1.in:
403 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
404
405 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
406
407 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
408
409 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
410 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
411
412 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
413 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
414 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
415 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
416 the same flag.
417
418 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
419 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
420 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.

427 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
428 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
429
Theodore Ts'odd018f52000-02-06 23:57:07 +0000430 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
431 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
432 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
433 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
434 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
435 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
436
437 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
438
Theodore Ts'ob4ee1fb2000-02-02 19:08:51 +00004392000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
440
441 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
442 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
443 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
444 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
445 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
446
447 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
448 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.

458
459 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
460 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
461 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
462 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
463
464 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
465 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
466 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
467 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
468 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
469 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
470 Finally, the original data is written back.
471
472 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
473 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
474 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
475 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
476 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
477 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
478 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
479 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
480 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
481 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
482 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
483 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
484 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
485 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
486 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
487
488 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
489 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
490 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
491 randomly.
492
493 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
494 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
495
496 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
497 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
498 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
499 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
500 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
501 and want the host hard drive to flush.
502
503 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
504 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
505 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
506 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
507 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
508 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
509 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
510 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
511 scan).
512
513 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
514 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
515 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
516 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
517 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
518 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
519 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
520 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
521 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
522 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
523 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
524 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
525 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
526 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
527 completely reliable.
528
529 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
530 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
531 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
532 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
533 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
534 for your information.
535
536 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
537 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
538 which I install which will write back whatever original
539 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
540 (except SIGKILL, of course).
541
542 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
543 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
544 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
545 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
546 could learn how to update the manpage and other
547 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
548 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
549 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
550 should be in the distribution."

553
554 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
555 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
556 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
557
Theodore Ts'obfd21931999-11-23 13:48:58 +00005581999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>

564
565 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
566 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
567 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
568

584
585 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
586 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
587 fsck -As can do so interactively.
588
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +00005891999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>

594
Theodore Ts'o3bc03661999-10-26 17:17:00 +0000595 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
596 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
597 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
598
Theodore Ts'o36b01301999-10-26 14:38:36 +0000599 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
600 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
601 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
602 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
603
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +0000604 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
Theodore Ts'o9094f281999-10-26 16:42:50 +0000605 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
606 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
607 gcc warnings.
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +0000608
Theodore Ts'ob5135711999-10-26 14:33:24 +0000609 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
610 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
611 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
612 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
613 the child process.
614
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +0000615 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
616 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
617
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +00006181999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
619
620 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
621 happy.
Theodore Ts'oe6597041999-10-26 02:30:16 +0000622 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
623 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
624 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +0000625
626 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
627 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
628 an infinite loop.
629
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +00006301999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>

633
6341999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
635
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +0000636 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
637 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
638 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
639 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
640
641 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
642 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
643 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
644 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
645

649 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
650 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
651 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
652 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
653
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +00006541999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
655
Theodore Ts'o671cbfa1999-10-20 18:14:23 +0000656 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
657 changing the sparse superblock option
658
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +0000659 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
660 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
661 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
662 unhandled SIGUSR1.
663

Theodore Ts'o76714331999-10-20 18:06:29 +0000665
666 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
667 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
668
Theodore Ts'o27401561999-09-14 20:11:19 +00006691999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
670
671 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
672 Dirson.
673
674 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
675 kernels.
676
677 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
678 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
679 flag.
680
681 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
682 (header-only).
683
6841999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
685
686 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
687 superblock option.
688
6891999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o657cb971999-07-30 23:19:10 +0000690
691 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
692
Theodore Ts'o50787ea1999-07-19 15:30:21 +00006931999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
694
695 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
696 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
697 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
698 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
699 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
700 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
701 the filesystem the system would make.
702
7031999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
704
705 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
706 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
707 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
708 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
709 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
710

Theodore Ts'o9f10a7b1999-07-16 10:41:36 +0000712
713 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
714 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
715 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
716
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +00007171999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o5dbb0721999-07-03 06:16:06 +0000718
719 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
720 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
721
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +00007221999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o2d8defd1999-07-03 01:59:42 +0000723
724 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
725 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
726 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
727 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
728 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
729 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
730
731 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
732 UUID=bar type specifications.
733
Theodore Ts'o00eedba1999-07-03 00:45:58 +00007341999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>

736 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
737 clear out a large block number.
738
Theodore Ts'oca3c3281999-06-29 14:37:35 +00007391999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
740
741 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
742 appears mounted if the force option is given.
743
Theodore Ts'oe72a9ba1999-06-25 15:40:18 +00007441999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
745
746 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
747 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
748
Theodore Ts'oe2423cc1999-06-18 00:51:31 +00007491999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
750
751 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
752 code cleanups.
753
Theodore Ts'o02e7dd91999-06-18 00:48:41 +00007541999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
755
756 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
757 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
758 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly

782 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
783 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
784 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
785 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.

901
902 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
903 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into

1143
1144Thu Aug 22 00:51:44 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1145
1146 * mke2fs.c (zap_bootblock): Don't do zap_bootblock on a
1147 sparc.
1148
1149Tue Aug 20 00:15:46 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1150
1151 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
1152 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
1153
1154Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1155
1156 * tune2fs.8.in:
1157 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1158 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1159 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1160
1161 * mke2fs.8.in:
1162 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1163 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1164 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1165 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1166 mounted directory.
1167
1168Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1169
1170 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1171 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1172 and no version number is specified.
1173
Theodore Ts'o62c06f71997-04-29 14:34:47 +00001174Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1175
1176 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
1177
1178Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1179
1180 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
1181 libraries.
1182
Theodore Ts'o7f88b041997-04-26 14:48:50 +00001183Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1184
1185 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1186
1187Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1188
1189 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1190 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1191
1192Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1193
1194 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1195
1196 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1197 revision.
1198
1199Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1200
1201 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1202 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1203 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1204 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1205 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1206 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1207 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1208 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1209 option turned on.
1210
Theodore Ts'o74becf31997-04-26 14:37:06 +00001211Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1212
1213 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1214
1215Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1216
1217 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1218 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1219 vs. /dev/hda1)
1220
1221Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1222
1223 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1224 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1225 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1226 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1227 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1228
1229Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1230
1231 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1232 ext2fs_test_bit().
1233
Theodore Ts'o297f47a1997-04-26 14:25:20 +00001234Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1235
1236 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1237 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1238
Theodore Ts'oa418d3a1997-04-26 14:00:26 +00001239Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1240
1241 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1242
1243Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1244
1245 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1246 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1247 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1248
1249Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1250
1251 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1252 the same order.
1253
1254Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1255
1256 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1257 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1258
1259 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1260 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1261 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1262 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1263
1264Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1265
1266 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1267 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1268 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1269 check.
1270
1271Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1272
1273 * badblocks.8:
1274 * chattr.1:
1275 * dumpe2fs.8:
1276 * fsck.8:
1277 * lsattr.1:
1278 * mke2fs.8:
1279 * mklost+found.8:
1280 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1281
1282Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1283
1284 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1285 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1286 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1287
1288 * mke2fs.8:
1289 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1290
1291Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1292
1293 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1294 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(&param), instead of assuming that the
1295 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1296
1297Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1298
1299 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1300 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1301 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1302 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1303 advisable.
1304
1305 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1306 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1307 alloca is not portable!
1308
1309 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1310 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1311 /etc/fstab.
1312
1313 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1314
1315Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1316
1317 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1318 benefit.
1319
1320 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1321
1322 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1323 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1324
1325Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1326
1327 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1328 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1329
1330Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1331
1332 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1333
1334 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1335 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1336
1337 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1338
1339Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1340
1341 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1342 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1343 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1344 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1345
1346 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1347 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1348 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1349 statically sized buffer.
1350 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1351 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1352
1353 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1354 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1355 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1356 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1357 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1358
1359 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1360 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1361 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1362 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1363 (test_rw): Ditto.
1364
1365 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1366 support separate compilation directories.
1367
Theodore Ts'of3db3561997-04-26 13:34:30 +00001368Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1369
1370 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1371 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1372 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1373 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1374
1375 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1376 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1377 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1378 very large partition.
1379
1380 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1381 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1382 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1383
1384 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1385 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1386 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1387 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1388 ioctl, which most do.)
1389
1390 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1391 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1392 during 0.5b development.)
1393
1394Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1395
1396 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1397 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1398 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1399 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1400 measure).
1401
1402 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1403 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1404 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1405
1406Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1407
1408 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1409
1410 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1411 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1412 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1413
1414Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1415
1416 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1417 new options.
1418 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1419
1420Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1421
1422 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1423 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1424 all partitions should be checked.
1425
1426Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1427
1428 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1429 structures.
1430
1431 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1432 the effective uid.
1433
1434Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1435
1436 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1437 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1438
1439Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1440
1441 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1442
1443Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1444
1445 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1446 read-only test.
1447
1448 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1449
1450 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1451
1452 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1453
1454 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1455
1456 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1457
1458Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1459
1460 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1461 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1462 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1463 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1464 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1465
1466 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1467 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1468 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1469 statistics if necessary.
