Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +000011999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
2
3 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
4 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
5
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +000061999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
7
8 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
9 happy.
Theodore Ts'oe6597041999-10-26 02:30:16 +000010 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
11 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
12 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +000013
14 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
15 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
16 an infinite loop.
17
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +0000181999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
19
Theodore Ts'o614fdfd1999-10-23 03:19:51 +000020 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
21
221999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
23
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +000024 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
25 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
26 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
27 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
28
29 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
30 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
31 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
32 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
33
Theodore Ts'ocaf8ce41999-10-21 19:56:34 +0000341999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
35
36 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
37 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
38 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
39 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
40 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
41
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +0000421999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
43
Theodore Ts'o671cbfa1999-10-20 18:14:23 +000044 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
45 changing the sparse superblock option
46
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +000047 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
48 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
49 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
50 unhandled SIGUSR1.
51
521999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o76714331999-10-20 18:06:29 +000053
54 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
55 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
56
Theodore Ts'o27401561999-09-14 20:11:19 +0000571999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
58
59 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
60 Dirson.
61
62 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
63 kernels.
64
65 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
66 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
67 flag.
68
69 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
70 (header-only).
71
721999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
73
74 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
75 superblock option.
76
771999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o657cb971999-07-30 23:19:10 +000078
79 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
80
Theodore Ts'o50787ea1999-07-19 15:30:21 +0000811999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
82
83 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
84 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
85 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
86 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
87 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
88 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
89 the filesystem the system would make.
90
911999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
92
93 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
94 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
95 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
96 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
97 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
98
991999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o9f10a7b1999-07-16 10:41:36 +0000100
101 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
102 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
103 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
104
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +00001051999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o5dbb0721999-07-03 06:16:06 +0000106
107 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
108 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
109
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +00001101999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o2d8defd1999-07-03 01:59:42 +0000111
112 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
113 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
114 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
115 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
116 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
117 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
118
119 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
120 UUID=bar type specifications.
121
Theodore Ts'o00eedba1999-07-03 00:45:58 +00001221999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
123
124 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
125 clear out a large block number.
126
Theodore Ts'oca3c3281999-06-29 14:37:35 +00001271999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
128
129 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
130 appears mounted if the force option is given.
131
Theodore Ts'oe72a9ba1999-06-25 15:40:18 +00001321999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
133
134 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
135 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
136
Theodore Ts'oe2423cc1999-06-18 00:51:31 +00001371999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
138
139 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
140 code cleanups.
141
Theodore Ts'o02e7dd91999-06-18 00:48:41 +00001421999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
143
144 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
145 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
146 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
147 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
148
Theodore Ts'o5d45d801999-03-16 19:35:19 +00001491999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
150
151 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
152 generate UUIDs.
153
1541999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
155
156 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
157 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
158
Theodore Ts'o7d5633c1999-02-09 08:14:28 +00001591999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
160
161 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
162 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
163 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
164 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
165
1661999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
167
168 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
169 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
170 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
171 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
172 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
173 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
174
Theodore Ts'oee922991999-01-16 05:39:12 +00001751999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
176
177 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
178 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
179 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
180 fsck pass structure.
181 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
182 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
183 to finish.
184
Theodore Ts'o7953f611999-01-09 05:03:52 +00001851999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

192 switch.
193
Theodore Ts'o665f7101999-01-08 13:33:39 +00001941999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
195
196 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
197 needs to be treated as zero.
198
Theodore Ts'oa88fa0c1999-01-05 07:02:39 +00001991999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

Theodore Ts'o93ab9d71999-01-02 04:04:42 +00002101999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
211
212 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
213 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
214 /etc/fstab file.

216 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
217
2181998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
219
220 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
221 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
222
Theodore Ts'o556ad131998-12-19 08:10:58 +00002231998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

228
229 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
230 seperated", instead of common separated)
231
Theodore Ts'o5a679c81998-12-03 16:40:38 +00002321998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
233
234 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
235
2361998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
237
238 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
239 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
240 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
241
Theodore Ts'o1dde43f1998-11-14 04:18:28 +00002421998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
243
244 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
245
246 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
247 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
248 things look nice on an 80 character display.
249
2501998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
251

260
261 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
262 being written by e2fsprogs.
263
Theodore Ts'o818180c1998-06-27 05:11:14 +00002641998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

271 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
272 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
273
274 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
275 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
276 it isn't pretty.)
277
2781998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
279
280 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
281 and exit.

289
290 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
291 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
292 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
293 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
294 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
295
Theodore Ts'oa789d841998-03-30 01:20:55 +00002961998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
297

301
3021998-03-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
303
304 * chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may
305 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
306
307 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
308 up-to-date.
309
310 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
311 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
312 be truncated.
313
314 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
315 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
316 that the label will be truncated.
317
318 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
319 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
320 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
321
Theodore Ts'obbfa3aa1998-03-21 07:12:46 +00003221998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
323

333
334 * badblocks.8: Update documentation to note that output format
335 of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or
336 mke2fs -l.
337
338 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
339 bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the
340 first one).
341
Theodore Ts'oca8abba1998-01-19 14:55:24 +0000342Mon Dec 1 17:01:04 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

348 * fsck.c:
349 * chattr.c: Remove #include of getopt.h, since it's not needed.
350
351 * tune2fs.c (main):
352 * lsattr.c (main):
353 * badblocks.c (main):
354 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
355 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
356 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
357 unsigned.
358
Theodore Ts'od163b091997-10-03 17:42:28 +0000359Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
360
361 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
362 to fix a -Wall warning.
363

368 * lsattr.c (main):
369 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
370 * chattr.c (main):
371 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
372 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
373 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
374 random exit value.)
375
Theodore Ts'oab6b8ab1997-07-14 19:28:55 +0000376Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
377
378 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which
379 provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem
380 label.
381
382 * Makefile.in (SPROGS): Add Makefile support to build e2label
383

386 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.11
387
Theodore Ts'oe22d4611997-06-17 03:57:27 +0000388Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
389
390 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
391 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
392 80 columns when making a really big disk.
393
Theodore Ts'of635d7f1997-05-09 02:50:16 +0000394Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
395

397 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
398 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
399

401 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
402 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
403
Theodore Ts'oa29f4d31997-04-29 21:26:48 +0000404Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>

409
410 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
411 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
412 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
413 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
414 bitmaps.
415
416 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
417 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
418
419Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
420
421 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
422 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
423 compatibility).

430
431 * chattr.1.in: Updated man page so that the 'A' attribute is
432 specified everywhere.
433
434 * chattr.c (usage): Added usage message for the 'A' attribute.
435
436Fri Apr 11 18:56:26 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
437

441
442 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): List the offsets of the inode and block
443 bitmaps, and the inode table. List the block boundaries
444 for the groups.
445
446Sat Apr 5 11:55:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
447
448 * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
449 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
450
451 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
452 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
453 sparse superblock flag is set.
454 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
455 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
456 blocksize.
457
Theodore Ts'o19c78dc1997-04-29 16:17:09 +0000458Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

461
462Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
463
464 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and
465 i_gid to be the real user and group id.
466
467Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
468
469 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error
470 messages when the device doesn't exist.
471
472Sat Mar 1 10:43:32 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
473
474 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug where the PATH environment variable isn't
475 set when it is unset.
476
477Tue Jan 14 12:30:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
478
479 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
480 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
481 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
482 initialized.
483
484Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
485
486 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
487
488 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
489
490Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
491
492 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that

506
507 * chattr.1.in: Documented the 'A' (noatime) attribute.
508
509 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Change EXT2_SWAP to EXT2_FLAG_SWAP for

521
522 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support for new option -C, which sets the
523 current number of mounts.
524 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
525 mostly for debugging.
526
527Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
528
529 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.

538
539 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
540 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
541
542Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
543
544 * tune2fs.8.in:
545 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
546 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
547 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
548
549 * mke2fs.8.in:
550 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
551 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
552 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
553 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
554 mounted directory.
555
556Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
557
558 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
559 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
560 and no version number is specified.
561
Theodore Ts'o62c06f71997-04-29 14:34:47 +0000562Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
563
564 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
565
566Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
567
568 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
569 libraries.
570
Theodore Ts'o7f88b041997-04-26 14:48:50 +0000571Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
572
573 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
574
575Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
576
577 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
578 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
579
580Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
581
582 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
583
584 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
585 revision.
586
587Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
588
589 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
590 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
591 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
592 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
593 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
594 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
595 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
596 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
597 option turned on.
598
Theodore Ts'o74becf31997-04-26 14:37:06 +0000599Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

601 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
602
603Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
604
605 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
606 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
607 vs. /dev/hda1)
608
609Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
610
611 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
612 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
613 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
614 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
615 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
616
617Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
618
619 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
620 ext2fs_test_bit().
621
Theodore Ts'o297f47a1997-04-26 14:25:20 +0000622Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
623
624 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
625 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
626
Theodore Ts'oa418d3a1997-04-26 14:00:26 +0000627Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
628
629 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
630
631Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
632
633 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
634 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
635 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
636
637Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
638
639 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
640 the same order.
641
642Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
643
644 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
645 function to determine if the device is mounted.
646
647 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
648 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
649 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
650 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
651
652Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
653
654 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
655 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
656 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
657 check.
658
659Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
660
661 * badblocks.8:
662 * chattr.1:
663 * dumpe2fs.8:
664 * fsck.8:
665 * lsattr.1:
666 * mke2fs.8:
667 * mklost+found.8:
668 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
669
670Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
671
672 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
673 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
674 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
675
676 * mke2fs.8:
677 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
678
679Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
680
681 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
682 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(&param), instead of assuming that the
683 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
684
685Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
686
687 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
688 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
689 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
690 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
691 advisable.
692
693 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
694 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
695 alloca is not portable!
696
697 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
698 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
699 /etc/fstab.
700
701 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
702
703Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
704
705 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
706 benefit.
707
708 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
709
710 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
711 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
712
713Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
714
715 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
716 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
717
718Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
719
720 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
721
722 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
723 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
724
725 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
726
727Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
728
729 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
730 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
731 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
732 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
733
734 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
735 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
736 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
737 statically sized buffer.
738 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
739 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
740
741 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
742 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
743 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
744 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
745 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
746
747 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
748 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
749 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
750 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
751 (test_rw): Ditto.
752
753 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
754 support separate compilation directories.
755
Theodore Ts'of3db3561997-04-26 13:34:30 +0000756Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
757
758 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
759 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
760 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
761 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
762
763 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
764 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
765 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
766 very large partition.
767
768 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
769 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
770 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
771
772 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
773 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
774 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
775 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
776 ioctl, which most do.)
777
778 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
779 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
780 during 0.5b development.)
781
782Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
783
784 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
785 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
786 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
787 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
788 measure).
789
790 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
791 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
792 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
793
794Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
795
796 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
797
798 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
799 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
800 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
801
802Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
803
804 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
805 new options.

809
810 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
811 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
812 all partitions should be checked.
813
814Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
815
816 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
817 structures.
818
819 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
820 the effective uid.
821
822Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
823

832
833 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
834 read-only test.
835
836 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
837
838 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
839
840 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
841
842 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
843

845
846Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
847
848 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
849 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
850 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
851 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
852 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
853
854 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
855 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
856 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
857 statistics if necessary.
