2
3 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
4 Dirson.
5
6 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
7 kernels.
8
9 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
10 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
11 flag.
12
13 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
14 (header-only).
15
161999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
17
18 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
19 superblock option.

Theodore Ts'o657cb971999-07-30 23:19:10 +000022
23 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
24
Theodore Ts'o50787ea1999-07-19 15:30:21 +0000251999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
26
27 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
28 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
29 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
30 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
31 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
32 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
33 the filesystem the system would make.
34
351999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
36
37 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
38 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
39 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
40 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
41 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
42
431999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o9f10a7b1999-07-16 10:41:36 +000044
45 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
46 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
47 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
48
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +0000491999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o5dbb0721999-07-03 06:16:06 +000050
51 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
52 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
53
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +0000541999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o2d8defd1999-07-03 01:59:42 +000055
56 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
57 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
58 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
59 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
60 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
61 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
62
63 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
64 UUID=bar type specifications.
65
Theodore Ts'o00eedba1999-07-03 00:45:58 +0000661999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
67
68 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
69 clear out a large block number.
70
Theodore Ts'oca3c3281999-06-29 14:37:35 +0000711999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
72
73 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
74 appears mounted if the force option is given.
75
Theodore Ts'oe72a9ba1999-06-25 15:40:18 +0000761999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
77
78 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
79 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
80
Theodore Ts'oe2423cc1999-06-18 00:51:31 +0000811999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
82
83 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
84 code cleanups.
85
Theodore Ts'o02e7dd91999-06-18 00:48:41 +0000861999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
87
88 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
89 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
90 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
91 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
92
Theodore Ts'o5d45d801999-03-16 19:35:19 +0000931999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
94
95 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
96 generate UUIDs.
97
981999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
99
100 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
101 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
102
Theodore Ts'o7d5633c1999-02-09 08:14:28 +00001031999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
104
105 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
106 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
107 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
108 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
109
1101999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
111
112 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
113 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
114 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
115 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
116 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
117 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
118
Theodore Ts'oee922991999-01-16 05:39:12 +00001191999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
120
121 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
122 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
123 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
124 fsck pass structure.
125 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
126 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
127 to finish.
128

136 switch.
137
Theodore Ts'o665f7101999-01-08 13:33:39 +00001381999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
139
140 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
141 needs to be treated as zero.
142
Theodore Ts'oa88fa0c1999-01-05 07:02:39 +00001431999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

160 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
161
1621998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
163

172
173 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
174 seperated", instead of common separated)
175
Theodore Ts'o5a679c81998-12-03 16:40:38 +00001761998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

179
1801998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
181
182 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
183 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
184 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.

215 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
216 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
217
218 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
219 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
220 it isn't pretty.)

223
224 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number

233
234 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
235 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
236 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
237 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
238 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
239
Theodore Ts'oa789d841998-03-30 01:20:55 +00002401998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

247
248 * chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may
249 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
250
251 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
252 up-to-date.
253
254 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
255 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
256 be truncated.
257
258 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
259 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
260 that the label will be truncated.
261
262 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
263 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
264 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
265
Theodore Ts'obbfa3aa1998-03-21 07:12:46 +00002661998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

277
278 * badblocks.8: Update documentation to note that output format
279 of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or
280 mke2fs -l.
281
282 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
283 bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the
284 first one).
285
Theodore Ts'oca8abba1998-01-19 14:55:24 +0000286Mon Dec 1 17:01:04 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

296 * lsattr.c (main):
297 * badblocks.c (main):
298 * dumpe2fs.c (main):

313 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
314 * chattr.c (main):
315 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
316 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some

318 random exit value.)
319
Theodore Ts'oab6b8ab1997-07-14 19:28:55 +0000320Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
321
322 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which
323 provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem
324 label.
325
326 * Makefile.in (SPROGS): Add Makefile support to build e2label
327
Theodore Ts'o024996c1997-06-17 05:38:35 +0000328Tue Jun 17 01:33:20 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

333
334 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
335 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
336 80 columns when making a really big disk.

353
354 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
355 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
356 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
357 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
358 bitmaps.
359
360 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
361 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
362
363Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
364
365 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
366 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
367 compatibility).
368
369Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
370
371 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.09

385
386 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): List the offsets of the inode and block
387 bitmaps, and the inode table. List the block boundaries
388 for the groups.
389
390Sat Apr 5 11:55:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
391
392 * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
393 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
394
395 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
396 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
397 sparse superblock flag is set.
398 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
399 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
400 blocksize.

412
413 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error
414 messages when the device doesn't exist.
415
416Sat Mar 1 10:43:32 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
417
418 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug where the PATH environment variable isn't
419 set when it is unset.
420
421Tue Jan 14 12:30:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
422
423 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
424 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
425 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
426 initialized.
427
428Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
429
430 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
431
432 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
433
434Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
435
436 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that
437 they frequently update the block number field.
438
439 * badblocks.8.in: Document the optional start-block parameter
440
441Mon Oct 14 11:52:58 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

465
466 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support for new option -C, which sets the
467 current number of mounts.
468 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
469 mostly for debugging.
470
471Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
472
473 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.
474 (SPROGS): Use @FSCK_PROG@ instead of fsck.

477
478 * mke2fs.c (zap_bootblock): Don't do zap_bootblock on a
479 sparc.
480

482
483 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
484 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
485
486Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
487
488 * tune2fs.8.in:
489 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
490 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
491 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
492
493 * mke2fs.8.in:
494 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
495 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
496 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
497 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
498 mounted directory.
499
500Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
501
502 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
503 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
504 and no version number is specified.
505
Theodore Ts'o62c06f71997-04-29 14:34:47 +0000506Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
507
508 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
509
510Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
511
512 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
513 libraries.
514
Theodore Ts'o7f88b041997-04-26 14:48:50 +0000515Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
516
517 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
518
519Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
520
521 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
522 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
523
524Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
525
526 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
527
528 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
529 revision.
530
531Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
532
533 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
534 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
535 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
536 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
537 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
538 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
539 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
540 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
541 option turned on.
542
Theodore Ts'o74becf31997-04-26 14:37:06 +0000543Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

545 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
546
547Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
548
549 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
550 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
551 vs. /dev/hda1)
552
553Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
554
555 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
556 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
557 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
558 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
559 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
560
561Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
562
563 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
564 ext2fs_test_bit().
565
Theodore Ts'o297f47a1997-04-26 14:25:20 +0000566Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
567
568 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
569 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
570
Theodore Ts'oa418d3a1997-04-26 14:00:26 +0000571Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
572
573 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
574
575Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
576
577 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
578 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
579 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
580
581Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
582
583 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
584 the same order.
585
586Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
587
588 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
589 function to determine if the device is mounted.
590
591 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
592 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
593 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
594 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
595
596Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
597
598 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
599 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
600 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
601 check.
602
603Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
604
605 * badblocks.8:
606 * chattr.1:
607 * dumpe2fs.8:
608 * fsck.8:
609 * lsattr.1:
610 * mke2fs.8:
611 * mklost+found.8:
612 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
613
614Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
615
616 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
617 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
618 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
619
620 * mke2fs.8:
621 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
622
623Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
624
625 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
626 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(&param), instead of assuming that the
627 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
628
629Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
630
631 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
632 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
633 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
634 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
635 advisable.
636
637 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
638 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
639 alloca is not portable!
640
641 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
642 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
643 /etc/fstab.
644
645 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
646
647Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
648
649 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
650 benefit.
651
652 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
653
654 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
655 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
656
657Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
658
659 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
660 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
661
662Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
663
664 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
665
666 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
667 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
668
669 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
670
671Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
672
673 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
674 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
675 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
676 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
677
678 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
679 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
680 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
681 statically sized buffer.
682 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
683 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
684
685 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
686 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
687 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
688 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
689 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
690
691 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
692 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
693 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
694 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
695 (test_rw): Ditto.
696
697 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
698 support separate compilation directories.
699
Theodore Ts'of3db3561997-04-26 13:34:30 +0000700Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
701
702 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
703 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
704 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
705 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
706
707 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
708 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
709 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
710 very large partition.
711
712 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
713 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
714 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
715
716 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
717 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
718 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
719 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
720 ioctl, which most do.)
721
722 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
723 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
724 during 0.5b development.)
725
726Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
727
728 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
729 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
730 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
731 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
732 measure).
733
734 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
735 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
736 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
737
738Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
739
740 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
741
742 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
743 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
744 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
745
746Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
747
748 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
749 new options.
750 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
751
752Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
753
754 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
755 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
756 all partitions should be checked.
757
758Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
759
760 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
761 structures.
762
763 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
764 the effective uid.
765
766Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
767
768 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
769 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
770
771Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
772
773 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
774
775Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
776
777 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
778 read-only test.
779
780 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
781
782 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
783
784 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
785
786 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
787
788 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
789
790Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
791
792 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
793 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
794 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
795 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
796 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
797
798 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
799 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
800 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
801 statistics if necessary.
