11
12 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, parse_e2label_options): Allow
13 the device name to be specified using LABEL=xxx or

36
37 * blkid.c: Update to reflect renaming of blkid_get_devname() to
38 blkid_get_dev(), and blkid_get_token() to
39 blkid_get_devname().

61
62 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default;
63 the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not
64 the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards
65 compatibility support for dir_indexing removed.

108
109 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
110 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
111 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
112 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
113 variable.
114
Theodore Ts'od90a23e2002-10-25 17:07:11 -04001152002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
116
117 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
118 if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
119 will still print out the contents of the block group
120 descriptors.
121
Theodore Ts'oc046ac72002-10-20 00:38:57 -04001222002-10-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>

148
149 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Handle a bad block in the
150 inode table correctly.
151
Theodore Ts'o41ec7bb2002-09-29 22:37:40 -04001522002-09-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
153
Theodore Ts'odbfb3f02002-09-29 22:42:27 -0400154 * get_device_by_label.c: Applied sourceforge patch #613447, which
155 adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
156 fstab entries.
157
Theodore Ts'o41ec7bb2002-09-29 22:37:40 -0400158 * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
159 addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows
160 badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
161 CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.
162
Theodore Ts'o82b39c92002-09-29 19:08:38 -04001632002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
164
165 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
166 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
167 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
168 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
169
Theodore Ts'oc6633052002-09-24 01:26:50 -04001702001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>

175
176 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
177 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
178 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
179 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
180 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
181
Theodore Ts'o843049c2002-09-22 15:37:40 -04001822002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>

Theodore Ts'o118d7da2002-08-17 23:01:22 -0400202 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
203
204 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
205 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
206 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
207
208 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
209 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
210 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
211 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
212 read_partitions().

Theodore Ts'oa1411352002-08-17 17:39:39 -0400217 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
218 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
219
220 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive
221 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
222 #131350)
223
Theodore Ts'o023d1112002-08-17 14:44:56 -0400224 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
225 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
226 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)
227
Theodore Ts'of044b4d2002-08-17 13:32:21 -0400228 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page, and clarified text regarding
229 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
230 #145044)
231
232 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
233 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
234 bug #155007.
235

237
238 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
239 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
240
Theodore Ts'o4cae0452002-07-21 14:14:03 -04002412002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

249
250 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
251 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
252 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
253
Theodore Ts'of0865ce2002-07-02 10:08:27 -04002542002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
255
256 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
257 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
258 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
259
Theodore Ts'o5cfd7402002-06-28 10:47:24 -04002602002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

266 * chattr.c: Applied patch from Andrew to support the dirsync flag.
267
Andreas Dilgerb21bf262002-06-10 11:05:56 -06002682002-05-22 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
269
270 * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): make the default inode ratio at most
271 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
272
Theodore Ts'o31e29a12002-05-17 10:53:07 -04002732002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
274
275 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
276 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
277
2782002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
279
280 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
281 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
282 is larger than the system's page size according to the
283 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
284 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
285 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
286 support this yet).

Theodore Ts'o7d4343d2002-02-12 02:34:44 -0500336
337 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
338 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include

359 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
360 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
361 envrionment variable.
362
363 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.

Theodore Ts'o177ab2b2002-01-27 18:23:49 -0500366
367 * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
368
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05003692002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o5493a272002-01-02 14:15:35 -0500370
371 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
372 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
373 opened read-only.
374
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05003752001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'od4de4aa2001-12-26 08:58:01 -0500376
377 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
378 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
379 the last checked time on the filesystem.
380
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05003812001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>

Theodore Ts'o3ed57c22001-12-24 15:01:59 -0500383 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
384 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
385 of the disk.
386
387 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
388 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
389 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
390
391 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
392 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
393
Theodore Ts'o6a525062001-12-24 09:40:00 -0500394 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
395 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
396 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
397 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
398 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
399
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05004002001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o19007e52001-12-23 19:33:51 -0500401
402 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
403 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
404 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
405 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
406 include search path.)
407
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05004082001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'oeaf4dc52001-12-22 00:04:22 -0500409
410 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
411 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
412 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
413 labels, etc.
414
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05004152001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o0655b102001-12-21 23:59:46 -0500416
417 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
418 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
419 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
420

Theodore Ts'o4ea7bd02001-12-16 23:23:37 -0500423 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
424 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
425 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
426 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
427 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
428
429 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
430 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
431
Theodore Ts'o8cf93332001-12-16 02:23:36 -0500432 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
433 linux/jbd.h
434
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05004352001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'oa5f0bb92001-12-02 19:29:35 +0100436
437 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
438 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
439 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
440
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05004412001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'oa36cf922001-11-24 16:13:49 -0500442
443 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
444 #119624)

Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05004462001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'o6ef39202001-11-13 18:49:09 -0500447
448 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
449 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
450
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05004512001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>

Theodore Ts'ob3f5b4c2001-11-05 19:22:02 -0500453 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
454 flag.
455
456 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
457
Theodore Ts'o6430bd62001-11-05 18:58:46 -0500458 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
459 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
460 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
461 into a real device name.
462
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05004632001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Theodore Ts'oe3ef3502001-11-05 18:57:43 -0500464
465 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
466 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
467 calls are a good thing. <g>
468
Andreas Dilger568101f2001-10-13 01:22:25 -06004692001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>

Theodore Ts'of6a6afc2001-09-19 18:27:39 -0400481 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
482 in use.
483
Theodore Ts'o39567c42001-09-19 15:28:21 -0400484 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
485 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
486
Theodore Ts'oa5f3f5c2002-02-03 01:00:22 -05004872001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>

489 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
490 zero-filled buffer.
491
Theodore Ts'ofb707752001-09-04 15:00:37 -04004922001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>

Andreas Dilger9d8e6342001-08-31 10:24:46 -06004962001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
497
498 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.
499

Theodore Ts'o177a9ac2001-08-30 18:07:40 -04005042001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
505
506 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
507
Theodore Ts'o04a96852001-08-30 21:55:26 -0400508 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
509 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
510 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
511
Andreas Dilger59f27242001-08-30 15:39:04 -06005122001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
513
514 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
515 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
516 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
517 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
518 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
519 small device (less than 64 blocks).

Theodore Ts'o0f8973f2001-08-27 12:44:23 -04005212001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
522
Andreas Dilger59f27242001-08-30 15:39:04 -0600523 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
Theodore Ts'o0f8973f2001-08-27 12:44:23 -0400524 e2fsprogs programs.
525
526 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
527 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
528 display, since it only confuses people.
529
Theodore Ts'oe843c762001-08-18 14:22:25 -04005302001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
531
532 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
533 check_uuid.
534
535 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
536 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
537 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
538
Andreas Dilger2d155762001-08-17 03:48:11 -06005392001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
540
541 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
542 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
543 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
544 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
545
546 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
547 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
548 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
549 in the ext2 superblock.
550
551 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
552 malloc'd in interpret spec.
553

559
Theodore Ts'o7141b542001-08-15 19:17:37 -0400560 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
561 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
562 #108555.)
563
Theodore Ts'o1d349cc2001-08-15 19:06:55 -0400564 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
565
Theodore Ts'o88f8af62001-08-15 18:39:51 -0400566 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
Theodore Ts'o685c13f2001-08-15 19:04:59 -0400567 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
568 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
569 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
Theodore Ts'o88f8af62001-08-15 18:39:51 -0400570
Theodore Ts'of3561ed2001-08-15 11:58:16 -0400571 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
572 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
573 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
574
Theodore Ts'od2586682001-08-15 11:03:58 -0400575 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
576 specified more than once.
577
Theodore Ts'o085b02c2001-08-10 19:13:11 -04005782001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
579
580 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
581 text that erroneously implied that all features
582 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
583 kernels.
584
Theodore Ts'o6304baf2001-08-09 05:41:29 -04005852001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
586
Theodore Ts'oe8a447d2001-08-09 06:13:18 -0400587 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
588 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
589 should not be present.
590
Theodore Ts'o6304baf2001-08-09 05:41:29 -0400591 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
592
Theodore Ts'o8c97b0b2001-08-04 21:14:45 -04005932001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
594
595 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
596 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
597
Theodore Ts'o194686b2001-07-31 12:03:23 -04005982001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
599
600 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
601 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
602 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
603 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
604
Theodore Ts'ode49f012001-07-30 16:31:30 -04006052001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
606
607 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
608 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
609
Theodore Ts'o77dc4eb2001-07-27 22:00:18 -04006102001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
611
612 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
613 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
614 blocksize of the new filesystem.
615
Theodore Ts'o9b61b8c2001-07-20 14:25:23 -04006162001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
617
618 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
619 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
620 Debian bug #30833).
621
Theodore Ts'oda376f52001-07-19 20:38:53 -04006222001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
623
624 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
625 of the filesystem to determines its type.
626
627 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
628 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".

644
Theodore Ts'o66cf2f62001-06-14 06:42:44 +0000645 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
646 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
647 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
648 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
649 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
650
651 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
652 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
653 Dilger.
654
Theodore Ts'ocdf186e2001-06-13 22:16:47 +0000655 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is

659
Theodore Ts'ocbbf0312001-06-13 00:12:04 +0000660 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
661 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
662
663 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
664 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
665 instead.
666
Theodore Ts'o28cf9042001-06-12 22:35:00 +0000667 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
668 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
Theodore Ts'o83d5abf2001-06-13 23:31:27 +0000669 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)

672
673 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
674 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
675 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
676

759 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
760
Theodore Ts'ocd130a02001-05-05 05:43:23 +0000761 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
762 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
763 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
764
765 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
766 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
767
Theodore Ts'o095b4592001-05-03 13:33:11 +00007682001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

774 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
775
776 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
777 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
778 file.

784
785 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
786 the base device, we should assume that the device is
787 already active in order to force serialization.
788
Theodore Ts'oce57f142001-04-26 04:25:39 +00007892001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
790
791 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
792 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
793 more sense to users.
794
Theodore Ts'o4d0f2282001-04-23 20:58:03 +00007952001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
796
797 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
798 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
799 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
800 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
801 from journal device.
802 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
803 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).

805
Theodore Ts'ob10fd5e2001-04-22 03:47:23 +00008062001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
807
Theodore Ts'o48015ce2001-04-22 03:58:32 +0000808 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
809 documentation for the extern journal device support.
810
Theodore Ts'ob10fd5e2001-04-22 03:47:23 +0000811 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
812 message.
813
Theodore Ts'o1d08d9b2001-04-17 01:01:49 +00008142001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
815
Theodore Ts'o2103ea72001-04-21 20:53:43 +0000816 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
817 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
818
Theodore Ts'od6a27e02001-04-17 02:34:41 +0000819 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
820 number to be treated as a journal size.
821
Theodore Ts'o1d08d9b2001-04-17 01:01:49 +0000822 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
823 look nicer.
824
Theodore Ts'od6a27e02001-04-17 02:34:41 +0000825 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
826 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
827 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
828 entire device to get zero'ed.
829
Theodore Ts'o2537b6d2001-03-26 20:07:13 +00008302001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
831
832 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
Theodore Ts'o8d641742001-05-14 04:12:27 +0000833 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
Theodore Ts'o2537b6d2001-03-26 20:07:13 +0000834 blocks.
835
836 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
837
838 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
839 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
840 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
841 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
842 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
843 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
844 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
845 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
846 using the absolute size of the journal.
847
Theodore Ts'o93345d12001-02-17 06:09:50 +00008482001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
849
850 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
851 Also handle the case where the default journal size
852 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
853 the filesystem will be checked.
854
Theodore Ts'oc5423c52001-02-08 05:45:17 +00008552001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
856
857 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
858
Theodore Ts'offf18b42001-02-08 03:06:43 +00008592001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
860
Theodore Ts'obe4244b2001-02-08 03:28:18 +0000861 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
862 sparse_super.
863
Theodore Ts'o8b164f92001-02-08 03:24:18 +0000864 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
865 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
866 in hex.
867
Theodore Ts'offf18b42001-02-08 03:06:43 +0000868 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
869 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
870
Theodore Ts'o02088862001-01-18 01:44:19 +00008712001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
872
Theodore Ts'odc2ec522001-01-18 01:51:15 +0000873 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
874 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
875 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
876 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
877 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
878 with the rest of the options out there.)
879
880 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
881 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
882 from the external journal's filesystem list.
883
Theodore Ts'o5683e6e2001-01-18 01:47:48 +0000884 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
885 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
886 given a filesystem size.
887
888 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
889 small as 1MB.
890
Theodore Ts'o02088862001-01-18 01:44:19 +0000891 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
892 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
893
Theodore Ts'o16ed5b32001-01-16 07:47:31 +00008942001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
895
896 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
897 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
898 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
899
900 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
901 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
902 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
903 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
904 have been created via separate step.
905
906 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
907 information about an external journal device.
908
Theodore Ts'o4055ef72001-01-14 16:11:14 +00009092001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
910
Theodore Ts'o44c09c02001-01-14 17:02:09 +0000911 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
912 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
913 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
914 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
915 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
916 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
917 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
918 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
919
Theodore Ts'o08dd8302001-01-14 16:25:58 +0000920 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
921
Theodore Ts'o4055ef72001-01-14 16:11:14 +0000922 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
923 stdout after printing in-progress message.
924 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
925 the mount status of the device.
926

928
Theodore Ts'oc8c071a2001-01-11 16:08:23 +0000929 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
930 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
931 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
932 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
933 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
934
Theodore Ts'o4d404542001-01-11 16:04:59 +0000935 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
936 flush the device.
937
Theodore Ts'odfcdc322001-01-11 15:38:00 +0000938 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
939
Theodore Ts'o83238152001-01-09 00:16:26 +00009402001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
941
942 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
943 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
944 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
945
Theodore Ts'o8820c792001-01-06 04:20:03 +00009462001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
947
948 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
949 prototype.
950
951 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
952 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
953 complaints.
954
955 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
956
957 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
958 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
959

961
962 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
963 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
964 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
965 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
966
967 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
968 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
969 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
970
971 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
972 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
973
Theodore Ts'ob21e38a2001-01-01 15:26:58 +00009742001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
975
Theodore Ts'oef9abe52001-01-01 15:31:53 +0000976 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
977 struct ext2_super_block.
978
Theodore Ts'ob21e38a2001-01-01 15:26:58 +0000979 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
980 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
981 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
Theodore Ts'oef9abe52001-01-01 15:31:53 +0000982 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
983 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
984 using our own version now).

987
Theodore Ts'od4cf2fc2000-12-31 14:09:38 +0000988 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
989 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
990 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
991 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
992 the parallel_root option.
993
Theodore Ts'of10748d2000-12-31 13:55:14 +0000994 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
995 the file attributes.
996
997 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
998 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
999
Theodore Ts'o9a718842000-12-31 13:48:12 +00001000 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
1001 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
1002 support for the journaled data flag.
1003
1004 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
1005

1016 names.
1017
1018 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
1019 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
1020 instead of core dumping.
1021
Theodore Ts'o74a74d22000-12-09 14:33:29 +000010222000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1023
Theodore Ts'od48755e2000-12-09 14:36:04 +00001024 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
1025 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
1026 journal creation routines for this purpose.
1027
1028 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
1029 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
1030
Theodore Ts'o74a74d22000-12-09 14:33:29 +00001031 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
1032 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
1033
Theodore Ts'o793e27d2000-12-03 06:33:56 +000010342000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1035
1036 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
1037 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
1038 memory.
1039
1040 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
1041 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
1042
1043 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
1044
Theodore Ts'oe1c6b2f2000-12-02 06:19:33 +000010452000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1046
Theodore Ts'o2d091792000-12-02 07:03:32 +00001047 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
1048 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
1049 #63442)
1050
Theodore Ts'oe9f9dd82000-12-02 06:35:07 +00001051 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
1052 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
1053 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
1054 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
1055 #65267)
1056
Theodore Ts'oe1c6b2f2000-12-02 06:19:33 +00001057 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
1058 group names to uid's before storing them in the
1059 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
1060
Theodore Ts'o8ddaa662000-11-17 04:55:24 +000010612000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1062
1063 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
1064 option=argument style options, and add support for
1065 creating filesystems with external journals.
1066
1067 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
1068
Theodore Ts'o72ed1262000-11-12 19:32:20 +000010692000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1070
1071 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
1072 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
1073
Theodore Ts'o85ef4ae2000-10-24 19:33:45 +000010742000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1075
Theodore Ts'of6f65832000-10-25 03:01:37 +00001076 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
1077 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
1078 at this point.)
1079
Theodore Ts'o0056be12000-10-25 02:24:33 +00001080 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
1081 character labels.
1082
Theodore Ts'o43819662000-10-25 02:06:09 +00001083 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
1084 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
1085 other devices.
1086
Theodore Ts'o85ef4ae2000-10-24 19:33:45 +00001087 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
1088 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
1089 journal.
1090
Theodore Ts'oe294cf22000-10-24 18:41:44 +000010912000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1092
1093 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
1094 didn't catch.
1095
Theodore Ts'o3f1e9a52000-09-12 21:21:52 +000010962000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
1097
1098 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
1099 systems with four IDE interfaces.
1100
Theodore Ts'od7e39b02000-09-11 17:01:35 +000011012000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
1102
1103 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1104 fails.
1105
1106 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1107 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1108
Theodore Ts'o556ccbd2000-08-20 19:11:05 +000011092000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1110
1111 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1112 we can't find the device using the name given by
1113 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1114 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1115
Theodore Ts'o80c22c92000-08-14 15:32:11 +000011162000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1117
1118 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1119 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1120 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1121
1122 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1123
Theodore Ts'oe41784e2000-08-14 14:44:15 +000011242000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1125
1126 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1127 zap_sect.
1128 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1129 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1130
Theodore Ts'o28412de2000-07-27 02:45:55 +000011312000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1132
1133 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1134 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1135
Theodore Ts'of9e67062000-07-13 23:25:54 +000011362000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1137
1138 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1139
Theodore Ts'oa551b782000-07-13 22:05:31 +000011402000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1141
1142 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1143 are mutually exclusive.
1144
1145 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1146 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1147 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1148 the long run.)
1149
1150 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1151 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1152 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1153 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1154 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1155 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1156 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1157 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1158 routines anymore.
1159
1160 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1161 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1162 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1163 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1164 format string.
1165
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +000011662000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1167
Theodore Ts'o19c68912000-07-07 03:25:13 +00001168 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1169 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1170 the progress bar display logic.
1171
Theodore Ts'o45d9e2f2000-07-07 03:12:54 +00001172 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1173 max_mount_count is negative.
1174
1175 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1176 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1177 check.
1178
Theodore Ts'o5b1519b2000-07-06 14:16:08 +00001179 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1180 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1181 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1182 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1183 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1184 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1185
Theodore Ts'o981dc562000-07-06 14:13:29 +00001186 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1187 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1188 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1189
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +00001190 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1191 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
Theodore Ts'o981dc562000-07-06 14:13:29 +00001192 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1193 for the -f option.
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +00001194
1195 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1196 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1197 device as a default.
1198
Theodore Ts'od49a22b2000-07-06 00:31:27 +000011992000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1200
1201 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1202 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1203 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1204 old, overly complicated logic.
1205 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1206 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1207 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1208
Theodore Ts'o26ab5312000-05-29 15:05:42 +000012092000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1210
1211 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1212 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1213 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1214 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.

Theodore Ts'o4ea0a112000-05-08 13:33:17 +000012162000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1217
Theodore Ts'oc96e5112000-05-08 14:47:15 +00001218 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1219 or LABEL= specification is given.
1220
Theodore Ts'o4ea0a112000-05-08 13:33:17 +00001221 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1222 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1223 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1224 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1225 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1226 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1227
1228 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1229 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1230 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1231 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1232 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1233

1235
1236 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1237 support fdatasync().
1238
Theodore Ts'offe4cab2000-04-03 13:27:41 +000012392000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1240
Theodore Ts'o373b8332000-04-03 16:22:35 +00001241 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1242 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1243 manually define optarg and optind.
1244
Theodore Ts'o4d003982000-04-03 16:01:11 +00001245 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1246 Beattie.
1247
1248 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1249 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1250 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1251 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1252
Theodore Ts'offe4cab2000-04-03 13:27:41 +00001253 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1254 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1255 address.
1256 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1257
Theodore Ts'oe1a0a3e2000-02-11 05:00:19 +000012582000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1259
1260 * chattr.1.in:
1261 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1262
1263 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1264
1265 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1266
1267 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1268 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1269
1270 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1271 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1272 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1273 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1274 the same flag.
1275
1276 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1277 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1278 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.

Theodore Ts'od9c56d32000-02-08 00:47:55 +00001282 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1283 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1284 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1285 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1286 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1287
Theodore Ts'odd018f52000-02-06 23:57:07 +00001288 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1289 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1290 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1291 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1292 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1293 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1294
1295 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1296

1298
1299 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1300 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1301 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1302 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1303 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1304
1305 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1306 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1307
1308 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h

1311
1312 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1313 document the -s option.
1314
Theodore Ts'o879ac922000-01-18 20:59:11 +000013152000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1316
1317 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1318 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1319 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1320 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1321
1322 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1323 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1324 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1325 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1326 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1327 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1328 Finally, the original data is written back.
1329
1330 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1331 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1332 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1333 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1334 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1335 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1336 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1337 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1338 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1339 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1340 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1341 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1342 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1343 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1344 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1345
1346 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1347 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1348 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1349 randomly.
1350
1351 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1352 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1353
1354 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1355 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1356 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1357 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1358 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1359 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1360
1361 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1362 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1363 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1364 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1365 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1366 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1367 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1368 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1369 scan).
1370
1371 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1372 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1373 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1374 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1375 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1376 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1377 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1378 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1379 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1380 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1381 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1382 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1383 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1384 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1385 completely reliable.
1386
1387 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1388 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1389 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1390 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1391 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1392 for your information.
1393
1394 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1395 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1396 which I install which will write back whatever original
1397 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1398 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1399
1400 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1401 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1402 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1403 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1404 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1405 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1406 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1407 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1408 should be in the distribution."

1411
1412 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1413 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1414 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1415
Theodore Ts'obfd21931999-11-23 13:48:58 +000014161999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1417
1418 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1419 option is properly named.
1420
Theodore Ts'o6733c2f1999-11-23 02:23:30 +000014211999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1422
1423 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1424 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1425 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1426

1429 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1430 the source directory.
1431
Theodore Ts'o6fdc7a31999-11-10 13:34:40 +000014321999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1433
Theodore Ts'ocd086361999-11-10 16:00:39 +00001434 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1435
14361999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1437
Theodore Ts'o6fdc7a31999-11-10 13:34:40 +00001438 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1439 filesystem option is properly named.
1440
Theodore Ts'o6a35ffa1999-11-04 22:34:43 +000014411999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1442
1443 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1444 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1445 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1446
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +000014471999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1448
Theodore Ts'o28e11941999-10-26 18:17:20 +00001449 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1450
14511999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1452
Theodore Ts'o3bc03661999-10-26 17:17:00 +00001453 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1454 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1455 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1456
Theodore Ts'o36b01301999-10-26 14:38:36 +00001457 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1458 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1459 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1460 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1461
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +00001462 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
Theodore Ts'o9094f281999-10-26 16:42:50 +00001463 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1464 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1465 gcc warnings.
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +00001466
Theodore Ts'ob5135711999-10-26 14:33:24 +00001467 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1468 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1469 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1470 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1471 the child process.
1472
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +00001473 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1474 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1475
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +000014761999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1477
1478 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1479 happy.
Theodore Ts'oe6597041999-10-26 02:30:16 +00001480 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1481 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1482 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +00001483
1484 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1485 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1486 an infinite loop.
1487
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +000014881999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1489
Theodore Ts'o614fdfd1999-10-23 03:19:51 +00001490 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1491
14921999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1493
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +00001494 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1495 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1496 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1497 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1498
1499 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1500 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1501 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1502 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1503
Theodore Ts'ocaf8ce41999-10-21 19:56:34 +000015041999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1505
1506 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1507 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1508 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1509 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1510 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1511
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +000015121999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1513
Theodore Ts'o671cbfa1999-10-20 18:14:23 +00001514 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1515 changing the sparse superblock option
1516
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +00001517 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1518 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1519 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1520 unhandled SIGUSR1.
1521
15221999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o76714331999-10-20 18:06:29 +00001523
1524 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1525 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1526
Theodore Ts'o27401561999-09-14 20:11:19 +000015271999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1528
1529 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1530 Dirson.
1531
1532 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1533 kernels.
1534
1535 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1536 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1537 flag.
1538
1539 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1540 (header-only).
1541
15421999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1543
1544 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1545 superblock option.
1546
15471999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o657cb971999-07-30 23:19:10 +00001548
1549 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1550
Theodore Ts'o50787ea1999-07-19 15:30:21 +000015511999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1552
1553 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1554 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1555 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1556 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1557 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1558 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1559 the filesystem the system would make.
1560
15611999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1562
1563 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1564 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1565 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1566 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1567 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1568
15691999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o9f10a7b1999-07-16 10:41:36 +00001570
1571 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1572 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1573 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1574
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +000015751999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o5dbb0721999-07-03 06:16:06 +00001576
1577 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1578 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1579
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +000015801999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o2d8defd1999-07-03 01:59:42 +00001581
1582 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1583 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1584 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1585 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1586 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1587 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1588
1589 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1590 UUID=bar type specifications.
1591
Theodore Ts'o00eedba1999-07-03 00:45:58 +000015921999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1593
1594 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1595 clear out a large block number.
1596
Theodore Ts'oca3c3281999-06-29 14:37:35 +000015971999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1598
1599 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1600 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1601
Theodore Ts'oe72a9ba1999-06-25 15:40:18 +000016021999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1603
1604 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1605 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1606
Theodore Ts'oe2423cc1999-06-18 00:51:31 +000016071999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1608
1609 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1610 code cleanups.
1611
Theodore Ts'o02e7dd91999-06-18 00:48:41 +000016121999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1613
1614 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1615 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1616 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1617 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1618
Theodore Ts'o5d45d801999-03-16 19:35:19 +000016191999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1620
1621 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1622 generate UUIDs.
1623
16241999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1625
1626 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1627 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1628
Theodore Ts'o7d5633c1999-02-09 08:14:28 +000016291999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1630
1631 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1632 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1633 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1634 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1635
16361999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1637
1638 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1639 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1640 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1641 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1642 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1643 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1644
Theodore Ts'oee922991999-01-16 05:39:12 +000016451999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1646
1647 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1648 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1649 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1650 fsck pass structure.
1651 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1652 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1653 to finish.
1654
Theodore Ts'o7953f611999-01-09 05:03:52 +000016551999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1662 switch.
1663
Theodore Ts'o665f7101999-01-08 13:33:39 +000016641999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1665
1666 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1667 needs to be treated as zero.
1668
Theodore Ts'oa88fa0c1999-01-05 07:02:39 +000016691999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1670
Theodore Ts'o8d641742001-05-14 04:12:27 +00001671 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1672 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
Theodore Ts'o5515e6b1999-01-05 07:25:06 +00001673
Theodore Ts'oa88fa0c1999-01-05 07:02:39 +00001674 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1675 program if the -V option is given.
1676
1677 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1678 through a directory.
1679
Theodore Ts'o93ab9d71999-01-02 04:04:42 +000016801999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1681
1682 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1683 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1684 /etc/fstab file.
1685 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1686 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1687
16881998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1689
1690 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1691 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1692
Theodore Ts'o556ad131998-12-19 08:10:58 +000016931998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1698
1699 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1700 seperated", instead of common separated)
1701
Theodore Ts'o5a679c81998-12-03 16:40:38 +000017021998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1705
17061998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1707
1708 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1709 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1710 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1711
Theodore Ts'o1dde43f1998-11-14 04:18:28 +000017121998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1713
1714 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1715
1716 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1717 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1718 things look nice on an 80 character display.
1719
17201998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1721
1722 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage
1723 message.
1724

1730
1731 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
1732 being written by e2fsprogs.
1733
Theodore Ts'o818180c1998-06-27 05:11:14 +000017341998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1735
1736 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
1737
1738 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
1739 * tune2fs.c (usage):
1740 * lsattr.c (usage):
1741 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
1742 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
1743
1744 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
1745 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1746 it isn't pretty.)
1747

2059 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
2060 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
2061 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
2062 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
2063 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
2064 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
2065 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
2066 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
2067 option turned on.
2068

2079Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2080
2081 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
2082 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
2083 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
2084 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
2085 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
2086

2102
2103 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
2104 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
2105 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.

2126 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
2127 check.

2140Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2141
2142 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
2143 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
2144 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
2145
2146 * mke2fs.8:
2147 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
2148
2149Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2150
2151 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2152 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(&param), instead of assuming that the
2153 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
2154
2155Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2156
2157 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2158 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2159 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2160 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2161 advisable.
2162
2163 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2164 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
2165 alloca is not portable!
2166
2167 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
2168 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2169 /etc/fstab.
2170
2171 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
2172
2173Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
2174
2175 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
2176 benefit.
2177
2178 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
2179
2180 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2181 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
2182
2183Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2184
2185 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2186 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
2187
2188Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2189
2190 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2191
2192 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2193 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2194
2195 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2196
2197Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2198
2199 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
2200 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
2201 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
2202 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2203
2204 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
2205 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2206 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2207 statically sized buffer.
2208 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2209 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2210
2211 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2212 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2213 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2214 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2215 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2216
2217 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2218 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2219 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2220 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2221 (test_rw): Ditto.
2222
2223 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2224 support separate compilation directories.
2225
Theodore Ts'of3db3561997-04-26 13:34:30 +00002226Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2227
2228 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2229 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2230 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2231 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2232
2233 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2234 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2235 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2236 very large partition.
2237
2238 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2239 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2240 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2241
2242 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2243 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2244 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2245 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2246 ioctl, which most do.)
2247
2248 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2249 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2250 during 0.5b development.)
2251
2252Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2253
2254 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2255 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2256 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2257 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2258 measure).
2259
2260 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2261 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2262 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2263
2264Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2265
2266 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2267
2268 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2269 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2270 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2271
2272Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2273
2274 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2275 new options.
2276 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2277
2278Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2279
2280 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2281 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2282 all partitions should be checked.
2283
2284Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2285
2286 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2287 structures.
2288
2289 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2290 the effective uid.
2291
2292Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2293
2294 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2295 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2296
2297Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2298
2299 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2300
2301Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2302
2303 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2304 read-only test.
2305
2306 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2307
2308 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
2309
2310 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
2311
2312 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
2313
2314 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
2315
2316Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2317
2318 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2319 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2320 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2321 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2322 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2323
2324 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2325 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2326 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2327 statistics if necessary.
