Theodore Ts'o | e1e83b6 | 2008-02-28 22:51:49 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1 | E2fsprogs 1.40.7 (February 28, 2008) |
| 2 | ==================================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Remove support for clearing the SPARSE_SUPER feature from tune2fs, and |
| 5 | depreciate the -s option, since it can result in filesystems which |
| 6 | e2fsck can't fix easily. There are very good reasons for wanting to |
| 7 | disable sparse_super; users who wants to turn off sparse_super can use |
| 8 | debugfs. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1840286) |
| 9 | |
| 10 | Add missing options to mke2fs's usage message. (Addresses Sourceforge |
| 11 | Bug: #1751393) |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Fix bug in resize2fs when large (greater than 128 byte) inodes are |
| 14 | moved when a filesystem is shrunk; it was only moving the first 128 |
| 15 | bytes, so extended attributes were not getting moved. (Addresses Red |
| 16 | Hat Bugzilla: #434893) |
| 17 | |
| 18 | E2fsck now prints an explicit message when the bad block inode is |
| 19 | updated, to avoid confusion about why the filesystem was modified. |
| 20 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #756460) |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Allow mke2fs and tune2fs manipulate the large_file feature. |
| 23 | Previously we just let the kernel and e2fsck do this automatically, |
| 24 | but e2fsck will no longer automatically clear the large_file feature. |
| 25 | It still isn't really necessary to worry about this feature flag |
| 26 | explicitly, but some users seem to care. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: |
| 27 | #258381) |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Suppress message about an old-style fstab if the fstab file is empty. |
| 30 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #468176) |
| 31 | |
| 32 | Fix (really minor) bug in debugfs's find_free_block so it avoids |
| 33 | reporting a free block more than once if there are too few free blocks |
| 34 | in the filesystem. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1096315) |
| 35 | |
| 36 | Change e2fsck to no longer clear the LARGE_FILES feature flag |
| 37 | automatically, when there are no more > 2GB files in the filesystem. |
| 38 | It's been almost a decade since there have been kernels that don't |
| 39 | support this flag, and e2fsck clears it quietly without telling the |
| 40 | user why the filesystem has been changed. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | Fix bug which could cause libblkid to seg fault if a device mapper |
| 43 | volume disappears while it is being probed. (Addresses RedHat |
| 44 | Bugzilla: #433857) |
| 45 | |
| 46 | Inhance e2fsck's reporting of unsupported filesystem feature flags. |
| 47 | (Addresses Sourceforge Feature Request: #1175808) |
| 48 | |
| 49 | Fix option syntax in dumpe2fs for explicit superblock and blocksize |
| 50 | parameters. What was currently documented in the man page has been |
| 51 | broken for some time, due to getopt() implementation changes. The |
| 52 | option sytax has been changed to one which is can be more portable |
| 53 | supported and which is consistent with the format for extended options |
| 54 | in mke2fs and tune2fs. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1830994) |
| 55 | |
| 56 | Add support to tune2fs to clear the resize_inode feature. This |
| 57 | requires an fsck afterwards. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #167816) |
| 58 | |
| 59 | Teach blkid to detect LVM2 physical volumes. (Addresses Red Hat |
| 60 | Bugzilla: #409321) |
| 61 | |
| 62 | Add support for setting RAID stride and stripe-width via mke2fs and |
| 63 | tune2fs. Teach dumpe2fs to print the RAID parameters. |
| 64 | |
| 65 | Add support for setting new superblock fields to debugfs's |
| 66 | set_super_value. |
| 67 | |
| 68 | Add support for printing "mostly-printable" extended attributes in |
| 69 | Debugfs. |
| 70 | |
| 71 | Add support for the -M option to fsck, which causes it to ignore |
| 72 | mounted filesystem. |
| 73 | |
| 74 | Fix uuidd so that it creates the pid file with the correct pid number. |
| 75 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1893244) |
| 76 | |
| 77 | Fix various gcc -Wall warnings. |
| 78 | |
| 79 | Update Czech, Dutch, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese translations |
| 80 | |
| 81 | Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. |
| 82 | (Addresses Sourceforge Patch: #1399325) |
| 83 | |
| 84 | |
| 85 | Programmer's notes: |
| 86 | ------------------- |
| 87 | |
| 88 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| 89 | details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #466929) |
| 90 | |
| 91 | Add new flag EXT2_FLAG_NONFREE_ON_ERROR ext2fs_open2() which returns a |
| 92 | partially filled-in filesystem object on an error, so that e2fsck can |
| 93 | print more intelligent error messages. |
| 94 | |
| 95 | Add a new function e2p_edit_feature2() which allows the caller to |
| 96 | specify which feature flags are OK to set or clear, and which returns |
| 97 | more specific information about feature flags which are not allowed to |
| 98 | be set/cleared. |
| 99 | |
| 100 | Set the C locale in the test_script driver since it uses [A-Za-z]. |
| 101 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1890526) |
| 102 | |
| 103 | Use fcntl locking instead of lockf in libuuid since Cygwin doesn't |
| 104 | support lockf(). |
| 105 | |
| 106 | Change configure.in to avoid using the 'dc' command unless it is |
| 107 | absolutely needed. (i.e., when using parsing a WIP-style version |
| 108 | number) (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1893024) |
| 109 | |
| 110 | Add portability checks to support compilation under DJGPP. |
| 111 | |
| 112 | Update to the latest samba tdb code before the LGPLv3 change, which |
| 113 | fixes a realloc() leak on failure. |
| 114 | |
| 115 | Fix memory leak in ext2fs_alloc_block(). |
| 116 | |
| 117 | Fix makefile dependency issues for various install targets. |
| 118 | (Addresses-Sourceforge-Patches: #1903484, #1903466, #1903456) |
| 119 | |
| 120 | Improve descriptions for the r_move_itable and r_resize_inode tests. |
| 121 | |

| 124 | =================================== |
| 125 | |
| 126 | Add support for returning labels for UDF filesystems in the blkid |
| 127 | library. |
| 128 | |
| 129 | Fix bug in the blkid library where cached filesystems was not being |
| 130 | flushed when opening USB devices returned the error ENOMEDIUM. |
| 131 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #463787) |
| 132 | |
| 133 | Added logic to the blkid library to automatically choose whether a |
| 134 | filesystem should be mounted as ext4 or ext4dev, as appropriate. |
| 135 | |
| 136 | Allow tune2fs to set and clear the test_fs flag on ext4 filesystems. |
| 137 | |
| 138 | Fix a bug in e2fsck which caused it to core dump if e2fsprogs had been |
| 139 | configured with --enable-jbd-debug. |
| 140 | |
| 141 | Document the BLKID_FILE environment variable in the libblkid man page |
| 142 | |
| 143 | Programmer's Notes: |
| 144 | ------------------- |
| 145 | |
| 146 | Update e2fsprogs translation template and Vietnamese and Czech translations |
| 147 | |
| 148 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| 149 | details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #436058) |
| 150 | |
| 151 | Don't try to create $DESTDIR/etc/init.d as part of make install as we |
| 152 | don't install the init.d script (and it's not the recommended way to |
| 153 | start uuidd anyway). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1885085) |
| 154 | |
| 155 | Use thread local storage to fix a theoretical race condition if two |
| 156 | threads try to format an unknown error code at the same time in the |
| 157 | com_err library. |
| 158 | |
| 159 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c8a5708 | 2008-01-27 20:01:25 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 160 | E2fsprogs 1.40.5 (January 27, 2008) |
| 161 | =================================== |
| 162 | |
| 163 | Fix a potential overflow big in e2image if the device name is too |
| 164 | long. |
| 165 | |
| 166 | Mke2fs will now create new filesystems with 256 byte inodes and the |
| 167 | ext_attr feature flag by default. This allows for much better future |
| 168 | compatibity with ext4 and speeds up extended attributes even on ext3 |
| 169 | filesystems. |
| 170 | |
| 171 | Teach e2fsck to ignore certain "safe" filesystem features which are |
| 172 | set automatically by the kernel. Having the kernel set features |
| 173 | automagically behind the user's back is a bad idea, and we should try |
| 174 | to break the kernel of this habit, especially for the newer ext4 |
| 175 | feature flags. But for now, we will try to avoid needless full checks |
| 176 | which can annoy users who are doing fresh installs. |
| 177 | |
| 178 | Add support in tune2fs and mke2fs for making a filesystem as being "ok |
| 179 | to be used with test kernel code". This will be needed for using test |
| 180 | filesystems with the latest ext4 kernel code. |
| 181 | |
| 182 | Change e2fsck -fD so that it sorts non-htree directories by inode |
| 183 | numbers instead of by name, since that optimizes performances much |
| 184 | more significantly. (Addresses-Sourceforge-Feature-Request: #532439) |
| 185 | |
| 186 | If e2image fills the disk, fix it so it exits right away instead of |
| 187 | spewing large numbers of error messages. |
| 188 | (Addresses-Sourceforge-Feature-Request: #606508) |
| 189 | |
| 190 | If ftruncate64() is not available for resize2fs, let it use ftrucate() |
| 191 | instead, but have it check to see if the size would get truncated, and |
| 192 | skip calling ftruncate in that case. |
| 193 | |
| 194 | Add support for detecting HFS+ filesystems in the blkid library. |
| 195 | |
| 196 | Add supprt in the blkid library for ext4/ext4dev filesystems. |
| 197 | |
| 198 | Fix a bug in blkid where it could die on a floating point exception |
| 199 | when presented with a corrupt reiserfs image. |
| 200 | |
| 201 | Fix blkid's handling of ntfs UUID's so that leading zeros are printed |
| 202 | such that UUID string is a fixed length. |
| 203 | |
| 204 | Add sample python bindings for the uuid library to the contrib |
| 205 | directory. (Addresses-Sourceforge-Patches: #778817) |
| 206 | |
| 207 | Fix debugfs's 'lsdel' command so it uses ext2fs_block_iterate2 so it |
| 208 | will work with large files. (Addresses Sourceforge Feature Request: |
| 209 | #1257500 and Sourceforge Support Request: #1253511) |
| 210 | |
| 211 | Allow the debugfs 'undel' command to undelete an inode without linking |
| 212 | it to a specific destination directory, since this might require |
| 213 | allocating blocks that could overwrite some yet-to-be-recovered |
| 214 | deleted files. (Addresses-Sourceforge-Feature-Request: #967141) |
| 215 | |
| 216 | Update Swedish translations from the Translation Project. |
| 217 | |
| 218 | Programmer's Notes: |
| 219 | ------------------- |
| 220 | |
| 221 | Fix configure handling of --sbindir (which should rarely be used, but |
| 222 | someone did complain, so let's fix it). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: |
| 223 | #498381) |
| 224 | |
| 225 | Updated e2fsprogs.spec file to include a new uuidd package |
| 226 | |
| 227 | Use pkg-config to determine where to find the devmapper library so we |
| 228 | can find out where it is located on different distributions. |
| 229 | |
| 230 | Fix Makefile race so that "make -j3 distclean" works correctly |
| 231 | |
| 232 | Fix portability problems on non-Linux/non-Hurd/non-Masix systems, |
| 233 | especially on MacOS X systems. (Addresses Sourceforge Bugs: #1861633, |
| 234 | #1819034, #1863819) |
| 235 | |
| 236 | Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. |
| 237 | |
| 238 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| 239 | details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #459403, #459475, #459614) |
| 240 | |
| 241 | Remove the --enable-dynamic-static configure option, and build e2fsck |
| 242 | dynamically by default. If the user wants e2fsck.static, he/she will |
| 243 | need to build it via "make -C e2fsck e2fsck.static" |
| 244 | |
| 245 | Fix various build warnings due to missing prototypes. |
| 246 | (Addresses Sourceforge Patch: #1861663, #1861659) |

| 250 | ==================================== |
| 251 | |
| 252 | Improve time-based UUID generation. A new daemon uuidd, is started |
| 253 | automatically by libuuid if necessary. This daemon is setuid to allow |
| 254 | updates to /var/lib/libuuid, so the clock sequence number can be |
| 255 | stored and so if the clock is set backwards, it can be detected. |
| 256 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1529672, Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: |
| 257 | #233471) |
| 258 | |
| 259 | Filter out the NEEDS_RECOVERY feature flag when writing out the backup |
| 260 | superblocks. This avoids e2fsck from concluding that a full |
| 261 | filesystem check is required before backing up the superblock due to |
| 262 | changes in the feature flags. (Addresses Debian Bug: #454926) |
| 263 | |
| 264 | Fix fsck to only treat the '#' character as a comment at the beginning |
| 265 | of the line in /etc/fstab. Otherwise fstabs for the fuse filesystem |
| 266 | will cause fsck to issue an bogus warning message. |
| 267 | (Addresses Gentoo bug: #195405, Addresses Sourceforge bug: #1826147) |
| 268 | |
| 269 | Format control characters and characters with the high eighth bit set |
| 270 | when printing the contents of the blkid cache, to prevent filesystems |
| 271 | with garbage labels from sending escape sequences to the user's screen |
| 272 | that might, for example place it in graphics mode. (Addresses Ubuntu |
| 273 | Bug: #78087) |
| 274 | |
| 275 | Fix sign-extension problem on 64-bit systems in in the com_err |
| 276 | library. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1809658) |
| 277 | |
| 278 | Avoid division by zero error when probing an invalid FAT filesystem in |
| 279 | the blkid library. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1831627) |
| 280 | |
| 281 | Update Dutch, Polish, and Vietnamese translations from the Translation |
| 282 | Project. Remove the Rwandan translation upon advice of the |
| 283 | Translation Project. |
| 284 | |
| 285 | Programmer's Notes: |
| 286 | ------------------- |
| 287 | |
| 288 | Fix the libss "make check" regression test so that it works if the |
| 289 | current directory is not in the user's path or if the libss shared |
| 290 | library is not installed. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1848974) |
| 291 | |
| 292 | Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. |
| 293 | (Addresses Debian Bugs: #444883, #441872) |
| 294 | |
| 295 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| 296 | details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #437720, #451172, #458017) |
| 297 | |
| 298 | Fix build failure on non-Linux/non-Hurd/non-Masix systems. |
| 299 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1859778) |
| 300 | |
| 301 | Fix Hurd portability issues. (Addresses Debian Bug: #437720) |

Theodore Ts'o | 80dda9b | 2007-12-03 18:33:39 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 304 | E2fsprogs 1.40.3 (December 5, 2007) |
| 305 | =================================== |
| 306 | |
| 307 | Fix a potential security vulnerability where an untrusted filesystem |
| 308 | can be corrupted in such a way that a program using libext2fs will |
| 309 | allocate a buffer which is far too small. This can lead to either a |
| 310 | crash or potentially a heap-based buffer overflow crash. No known |
| 311 | exploits exist, but main concern is where an untrusted user who |
| 312 | possesses privileged access in a guest Xen environment could corrupt a |
| 313 | filesystem which is then accessed by the pygrub program, running as |
| 314 | root in the dom0 host environment, thus allowing the untrusted user to |
| 315 | gain privileged access in the host OS. Thanks to the McAfee AVERT |
| 316 | Research group for reporting this issue. (Addresses CVE-2007-5497.) |
| 317 | |
| 318 | Fix hueristics in blkid which could cause a disk without partitions to |
| 319 | be incorrectly skipped when a loopback device is present. (Addresses |
| 320 | Red Hat Bugzilla #400321.) |
| 321 | |
| 322 | Fix e2image so that in raw mode it does not create an image file which |
| 323 | is one byte too large. |
| 324 | |
| 325 | Change mke2fs's usage message so it recommends the preferred -E option |
| 326 | instead of the deprecated -R option. |
| 327 | |
| 328 | Enhance the blkid library so it will recognize squashfs filesystems. |
| 329 | (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #305151.) |
| 330 | |
| 331 | Enhance e2fsck so it will force the backup superblocks to be backed up |
| 332 | if the filesystem is consistent and key constants have been changed |
| 333 | (i.e., by an on-line resize) or by e2fsck in the course of its |
| 334 | operations. |
| 335 | |
| 336 | Enhance blkid's detection of FAT filesystems; so that USB disks with |
| 337 | only a single bootable partition will not get missed. |
| 338 | |
| 339 | E2fsck will no longer mark a filesystem as invalid if it has time |
| 340 | errors (i.e., if superblock mount time or last write time is in the |
| 341 | future) and the user refuses to fix the problem. |
| 342 | |
| 343 | The Ubuntu init scripts don't properly set the system time correctly |
| 344 | from hardware clock if the hardware clock is configured to tick local |
| 345 | time instead of GMT time. Work around this as best as we can by |
| 346 | providing an option, buggy_init_scripts, in /etc/e2fsck.conf which can |
| 347 | be set on Ubuntu systems. (Addresses Debian Bug #441093, and Ubuntu |
| 348 | Bug #131201.) |
| 349 | |
| 350 | Fix fsck to ignore /etc/fstab entries for bind mounts. (Addresses Red |
| 351 | Hat Bugzilla #151533.) |
| 352 | |
| 353 | Fix e2fsck so that if the superblock is corrupt, but still looks |
| 354 | vaguely like an ext2/3/4 superblock, that it automatically tries to |
| 355 | fall back to the backup superblock, instead of failing with a hard |
| 356 | error. |
| 357 | |
| 358 | Make the e2fsprogs program more robust so that they will not crash |
| 359 | when opening a corrupt filesystem where s_inode_size is zero. |
| 360 | |
| 361 | Change e2fsck so it uses sscanf() instead of atoi() so it non-numeric |
| 362 | arguments are detected as such and the parse error is reported to the |
| 363 | user. (Addresses Debian Bug #435381.) |
| 364 | |
| 365 | Change e2fsck so it will not complain if a file has blocks reallocated |
| 366 | up to the next multiple of a system's page size. |
| 367 | |
| 368 | Fix bug in ext2fs_check_desc() which will cause e2fsck to complain |
| 369 | about (valid) filesystems where the inode table extends to the last |
| 370 | block of the block group. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #214765.) |
| 371 | |
| 372 | Fix a bug in ext2fs_initialize() which causes mke2fs to fail while |
| 373 | allocating inode tables for some relatively rare odd disk sizes. |
| 374 | (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #241767.) |
| 375 | |
| 376 | Add Catalan translation and update Dutch and Swedish translations |
| 377 | from the Translation Project. |
| 378 | |
| 379 | Fix big-endian byte-swapping bug in ext2fs_swap_inode_full(). We |
| 380 | still had an issue when trying to figure out whether we need to |
| 381 | byte-swap fast symlinks that contained extended attributes. |
| 382 | |
| 383 | Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. |
| 384 | (Addresses SourceForge Bug #1821333.) |
| 385 | |
| 386 | |
| 387 | Programmer's Notes: |
| 388 | ------------------- |
| 389 | |
| 390 | Fix mke2fs tests to avoid needing any significant ^M (CR) characters |
| 391 | |
| 392 | Add "make check" to the RPM spec file |
| 393 | |
| 394 | Fix "make install" and 'make unstall" in misc/Makefile.in so that it |
| 395 | works correctly when the prefix is not the root directory. |
| 396 | |
| 397 | Fix the resize2fs tests, r_move_itable and r_resize_inode, so they |
| 398 | clena up after themselves by deleting the test.img temporary file |
| 399 | after completing the test. |
| 400 | |
| 401 | Fixed a corner case bug ext2fs_unlink() when trying to delete the |
| 402 | first directory entry in a directory block and the last directory |
| 403 | entry in the previous directory block is not in use. Fortunately |
| 404 | ext2fs_unlink() is only used by debugfs and e2fsck, and in e2fsck in |
| 405 | places where it is extremely unlikely to run into this corner case. |
| 406 | |
| 407 | Fix missing dependency which would cuase parallel builds to fail. |
| 408 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug #1842331.) |
| 409 | |
| 410 | Fix a build error on newer gcc caused by lib/ext2fs/ismounted.c |
| 411 | calling open(O_CREATE) with a missing mode parameter. |
| 412 | |
| 413 | Fix the test_ss.c in lib/ss so it can be used as an example |
| 414 | application program for the library as well as a regression test |
| 415 | suite. |
| 416 | |
| 417 | Fix ext2fs_dblist_dir_iterate() so that error codes and abort codes |
| 418 | are properly passed back up through the call stack. |

| 423 | A recent change to e2fsck_add_dir_info() to use tdb files to check |
| 424 | filesystems with a very large number of filesystems had a typo which |
| 425 | caused us to resize the wrong data structure. This would cause a |
| 426 | array overrun leading to malloc pointer corruptions and segfaults. |
| 427 | Since we normally can very accurately predict how big the the dirinfo |
| 428 | array needs to be, this bug only got triggered on very badly corrupted |
| 429 | filesystems. |
| 430 | |
| 431 | Fix a bug in e2fsck which caused it to incorrectly salvange |
| 432 | directories when the last entry's rec_len is bogusly too big. This |
| 433 | resulted in a nonsense filesystem corruption to be reported, and |
| 434 | required a second run of e2fsck to fully fix up the directory. |
| 435 | |
| 436 | Update tune2fs man page to include more discussion of reserved blocks |
| 437 | (Addresses Launchpad bug #47817) |

| 446 | Fix bug which could cause libblkid to loop forever. When revalidating |
| 447 | a partition where there is obsolete information in /etc/blkid.tab, we |
| 448 | end up freeing a the type tag without clearing dev->bid_type, causing |
| 449 | blkid_verify() to loop forever. (Addresses Debian Bug: #432052) |
| 450 | |
| 451 | The Turkish translation has a bug in it where it has the translation |
| 452 | of "E@e '%Dn' in %p (%i)" to "E@E". This causes @E to be expanded at |
| 453 | @E, recursively, forever, until the stack fills up and e2fsck core |
| 454 | dumps. We fix this by making e2fsck stop @-expansions after a |
| 455 | recursive depth of 10, which is far more than we need. |

| 458 | Compile the default mke2fs.conf into mke2fs program. People are |
| 459 | getting surprised by mke2fs creating filesystems with different |
| 460 | defaults than earlier versions of mke2fs if mke2fs.conf is not |
| 461 | present. So we now create a built in version of mke2fs.conf file |
| 462 | which is used by mke2fs if the /etc/mke2fs.conf is not present. |
| 463 | (Addresses SourceforgeBug: #1745818) |
| 464 | |
| 465 | Improve the config/parse_types.sh helper script. Fix a potential |
| 466 | security problem if e2fsprogs is built as root (as Gentoo does!). In |
| 467 | addition fix the script and how it is called from the configure script |
| 468 | so that it does the right thing when cross-compiling. (Fixes Gentoo |
| 469 | bug: #146903) |
| 470 | |
| 471 | Update Vietnamese, French, and Dutch PO files from the Translation |
| 472 | Project. Also created a new e2fsprogs.pot file for translator. |
| 473 | |
| 474 | Fix bogus strip permission errors when building under Debian. When |
| 475 | building the e2fsprogs dpkg's, the dh_strip command emits a large |
| 476 | number of error messages caused by the permissions not being right. |
| 477 | So run dh_fixperms before running dh_strip. |

| 479 | Programmer's Notes: |
| 480 | ------------------- |
| 481 | |
| 482 | Add new function: profile_set_default(). This function sets the value |
| 483 | of the pseudo file "<default>". If the file "<default>" had |
| 484 | previously been passed to profile_init(), then def_string parameter |
| 485 | will be parsed and used as the profile information for the "<default>" |
| 486 | file. |
| 487 | |
| 488 | Fix mk_cmds's error reporting so that it is unambiguous that it is the |
| 489 | mk_cmds script which is generating the error. (Obviates Gentoo patch: |
| 490 | e2fsprogs-1.32-mk_cmds-cosmetic.patch) |
| 491 | |
| 492 | Fix the test suite to use LC_ALL instead of LANG. LC_ALL is the "high |
| 493 | priority" environment variable that overrides all others, where as |
| 494 | LANG is the lowest priorty environment variable. If LC_ALL is set, it |
| 495 | doesn't matter whether LANG, LANGUAGE, LC_COLLATE, LC_MESSAGES, and |
| 496 | the all the rest are set. This will assure that the locale when |
| 497 | running the test suites is the "C" locale. (Obviates Gentoo patch: |

| 504 | Fix divide by zero error in blkid's NTFS probing logic. |
Theodore Ts'o | d7b6472 | 2007-06-24 17:32:47 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 505 | |
| 506 | Add new blkid -g option which causes the blkid cache to be garbage |
| 507 | collected. |
| 508 | |
| 509 | Fix a bug in libblkid which could cause the internal field bid_type to |
| 510 | become corrupted. Fortunately bid_type isn't used much, and bid_label |
| 511 | and bid_uuid is only used by debugging code, so the impact of this bug |
| 512 | was very minor. |
| 513 | |
| 514 | Mke2fs will now store the RAID stride value when a filesystem is |
| 515 | created with a requested RAID stride, and then use it automatically in |
| 516 | resize2fs. |
| 517 | |
| 518 | Mke2fs has a sanity check added to make sure (inode_size * num_inodes) |
| 519 | isn't too big. In some cases Lustre users have tried specifying an |
| 520 | inode size of 4096 bytes, while keeping an inode ratio of one inode |
| 521 | per 4096 bytes. |
| 522 | |
| 523 | Improve sanity check in e2fsck's algorithm for finding a backup |
| 524 | superblock, so that it won't accidentally find a superblock that was |
| 525 | located in the journal, and then later reject it as being not a valid |
| 526 | backup superblock. |
| 527 | |
| 528 | Fix e2fsck get_size logic so that it will work with the Linux floppy |
| 529 | driver. The Linux floppy driver is a bit different from the other |
| 530 | block device drivers, in that if the device has been opened with |
| 531 | O_EXCL, it disallows another open(), even if the second open() does |
| 532 | not have the O_EXCL flag. (Addresses Debian Bug: #410569) |
| 533 | |
| 534 | Fix error checking of badblock's last-block and start-block arguments. |
| 535 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #416477) |
| 536 | |
| 537 | Fix e2fsck so that it doesn't overwrite the backup superblocks when |
| 538 | recovering a journal until the master superblock has been confirmed as |
| 539 | being sane. |
| 540 | |
| 541 | Change the blkid library to be much more paranoid about concluding |
| 542 | that a partition contains an NTFS filesystem, and fetch the UUID and |
| 543 | LABEL information from NTFS filesystems. (Addresses Launchpad Bug: |
| 544 | #110138) |
| 545 | |
| 546 | Factor out the code which sets the default journal size and move it |
| 547 | into libext2fs. |
| 548 | |
| 549 | Enhance e2fsck so it will recreate the ext3 journal if the original |
| 550 | journal inode was cleared to due it being corrupt after finishing the |
| 551 | filesystem check. |
| 552 | |
| 553 | Fix e2fsck so that it updates the journal inode if it is corrupted and |
| 554 | the backup journal information from the superblock was successfully |
| 555 | used to recover the filesystem. |
| 556 | |
| 557 | Fix e2fsck so that it checks all of the blocks in the journal inode |
| 558 | for validity. The original code only checked the direct blocks to |
| 559 | make sure the journal inode was sane. Unfortunately, if some or all |
| 560 | of the indirect or doubly indirect blocks were corrupted, this would |
| 561 | not be caught. |
| 562 | |
| 563 | Add support in blkid to detect LUKS encrypted partitions. |
| 564 | |
| 565 | Add extra sanity checks for extended attributes in the case where the |
| 566 | size is zero but the offset is very large. |
| 567 | |
| 568 | Fix byte-swapping issues for large inodes in ext2fs_read_inode_full() |
| 569 | and ext2fs_get_next_inode_full(). |
| 570 | |
| 571 | Clarify the copyright licenses used by the various libraries in |
| 572 | the top-level COPYING file (Red Hat Bugzilla: 166058) |
| 573 | |
| 574 | Make mke2fs's defaults when /etc/mke2fs.conf doesn't exist more sane. |
| 575 | |
| 576 | Fix mke2fs and debugfs to support large (> 16 bit) uid's and gid's. |
| 577 | |
| 578 | Remove check in e2fsck which requires EA's in inodes to be sorted; |
| 579 | they don't need to be sorted, and e2fsck was previously wrongly |
| 580 | clearing unsorted EA's stored in the inode structure. |
| 581 | |
| 582 | Allow mke2fs or tune2fs to create a substantially larger journal (up |
| 583 | to 10,240,000 blocks). |
| 584 | |
| 585 | Fix MD superblock detection, and make sure the correct UUID is |
| 586 | reported from the MD superblock. |
| 587 | |
| 588 | Fix a signed vs. unsigned bug in debugfs. |
| 589 | |
| 590 | Enhance debugfs's date parser so that it accepts integer values. |
| 591 | |
| 592 | Fix e2fsck's pass1c accounting so it doesn't terminate too early if a |
| 593 | file with multiply claimed blocks is hard linked. or not at all if the |
| 594 | root directory contains shared blocks |
| 595 | |
| 596 | Enhance debugfs so it can modify the block group descriptors using the |
| 597 | command set_block_group_descriptor. |
| 598 | |
| 599 | Improve e2fsck's reporting of I/O errors so it's clearer what it was |
| 600 | trying to do when an error happens |
| 601 | |
| 602 | Fix a bug in in how e2fsprogs byte swaps inodes containing fast |
| 603 | symlinks that have extended attributes. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: |
| 604 | #232663 and LTC Bugzilla: #27634) |

| 614 | |
| 615 | Fix memory leak in blkid library. (Addresses Debian Bug: #413661) |
| 616 | |
| 617 | Allow the debugfs lcd command to work w/o a filesystem being open. |
| 618 | (Addresses LTC Bugzilla #27513) |
| 619 | |
| 620 | Fix e2fsck to clear i_size for special devices with a bogus i_blocks |
| 621 | field on the first pass. |
| 622 | |
| 623 | Fix e2fsck to set the file type of the '..' entry when connecting |
| 624 | a directory to lost+found. (Addresses Lustre Bug: #11645) |
| 625 | |
| 626 | Enhance e2fsck to recover directories whose modes field were corrupted |
| 627 | to look like special files. This is probably only useful in |
| 628 | artificial test cases, but it will be useful if we ever do the "inodes |
| 629 | in directory" idea for ext4. |
| 630 | |
| 631 | Allow debugfs to dump (and rdump) > 2GB files. (Addresses Debian Bug: |
| 632 | #412614) |
| 633 | |
| 634 | Fix resize2fs parsing of size parameter (in sector units). This was |
| 635 | actually a bug in libe2p's parse_num_blocks() function. When handling |
| 636 | the 's' suffix, it was ignoring the blocksize information passed in |
| 637 | from the caller and always interpreting the number in terms of a 1k |
| 638 | blocksize. (Addresses Debian Bug: #408298) |
| 639 | |
| 640 | There was a floating point precision error which could cause e2fsck to |
| 641 | loop forever on really big filesystems with a large inode count. |

| 643 | |
| 644 | Fix memory leak in ext2fs_write_new_inode() |
| 645 | |
| 646 | Add support for using a scratch files directory to reduce e2fsck's |
| 647 | emory utilization on really big filesystems. This uses the TDB |
| 648 | library. See the [scratch_files] section of the e2fsck.conf man page |
| 649 | for more details. |

| 678 | Require mke2fs -F -F for really dangerous operations, since -F is |
| 679 | needed for less dangerous operations such as creating filesystems |
| 680 | images in regular files, or creating filesystems on whole block |
| 681 | devices. These relatively innocuous usages should NOT be confused |
| 682 | with running mke2fs on an apparently-mounted or in-use filesystem. |

Theodore Ts'o | 26bcc2c | 2006-10-02 13:34:48 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 786 | Added an "make rpm" target to top-level Makefile |
| 787 | |
| 788 | Added various FreeBSD portability fixes. |
| 789 | |
| 790 | Exclude mercurial files from the RPM build tree to speed up copy/build. |
| 791 | |
| 792 | Use root_sysconfdir to define the locations of mke2fs.conf and |
| 793 | e2fsck.conf instead of using a hard-coded /etc pathname. |
| 794 | |
| 795 | Prevent e2fsck.h and ext2_ext_attr.h from getting included multiple times. |
| 796 | |
| 797 | Fixed "make clean" in blkid's Makefile.in file from removing tst_*.c files. |
| 798 | |
| 799 | If diff -u is supported, use it to report test failures. |
| 800 | |
| 801 | Updates/improvements to RPM spec file |
| 802 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 7809bc5 | 2006-11-14 23:49:07 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 803 | Add on-disk format definitions for the following new features: |
| 804 | EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_HUGE_FILE, EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_GDT_CSUM, |
| 805 | EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINK, EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_64BIT, |
| 806 | EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE |
| 807 | |
| 808 | Add a new make target "checked-failed" in the tests directory which |
| 809 | reruns any failed tests |
| 810 | |
| 811 | Update draft-leach-uuids-guids-01.txt with rfc4122.txt |
| 812 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a0d4254 | 2007-04-07 11:05:10 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 813 | Fix miscellaneous bugs reported by Coverity: Dead code, potential nul |
| 814 | pointer dereferences, memory leaks, etc. None were security-criticial |
| 815 | problems. |
| 816 | |
| 817 | Fix up usage and decrement error messages in the test_icount program |
| 818 | |
| 819 | Add debugging code to the com_err library; if the environment variable |
| 820 | COMERR_DEBUG is set to 1, print out debugging messages as error tables |
| 821 | are added and removed from the com_err library. If the |
| 822 | COMERR_DEBUG_FILE environment variable is set (and the process is not |
| 823 | setuid) the debugging messages may be redirected to a file. |
| 824 | |
| 825 | Change all of the e2fsprogs programs to use the newer add_error_table() |
| 826 | and remove_error_table() interfaces instead of the much older |
| 827 | initialize_*_error_table() function. |
| 828 | |
| 829 | Add TDB support into the ext2fs library. This allows us to have a |
| 830 | guaranteed library we can count on always being present so we can |
| 831 | store data in an on-disk database. |
| 832 | |
| 833 | Add support for using TDB to store the icount data, so we don't run out |
| 834 | of memory when checking really large filesystems. |
| 835 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d7b6472 | 2007-06-24 17:32:47 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 836 | Change the regression test suite so that it skips empty test directories. |
| 837 | |
| 838 | Define the l_i_iversion field in ext2_inode. The l_i_version field is |
| 839 | now defined from the old l_i_reserved1 field in the ext2 inode. This |
| 840 | field will be used to store high 32 bits of the 64-bit inode version |
| 841 | number. |
| 842 | |
| 843 | Add Makefile production rule for e2fsprogs.spec in case it gets |
| 844 | deleted. |
| 845 | |
| 846 | Add new function profile_get_uint() to allow for a clean way to fetch |
| 847 | unsigned integers from the context. |
| 848 | |
| 849 | Add test to make sure the ext2 superblock structure is 1024 bytes. |
| 850 | |
| 851 | Fix typo in name of f_dup4 regression test |
| 852 | |
| 853 | Add new function blkid_gc_cache() which performs a garbage collection |
| 854 | pass on the /etc/blkid.tab file. |
| 855 | |
| 856 | The ext2fs_open() function now sets EXT2_FLAG_MASTER_SB_ONLY. In |
| 857 | general, only e2fsck (after the filesystem is clean), tune2fs, and |
| 858 | resize2fs should change the backup superblocks by default. Most |
| 859 | callers of ext2fs_open() should not be touching any superblock fields |
| 860 | which require the backups to be touched. |
| 861 | |
| 862 | Add new function to libext2fs, ext2fs_default_journal_size(), which |
| 863 | returns the default journal size. |
| 864 | |

Theodore Ts'o | 34a2611 | 2006-03-29 20:40:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 868 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 34a2611 | 2006-03-29 20:40:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 869 | Fix 32-bit cleanliness in e2fsprogs so that we can support filesystems |
| 870 | between 2**31 and 2**32 blocks. |
| 871 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 34a2611 | 2006-03-29 20:40:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 872 | Change mke2fs to use /etc/mke2fs.conf as a configuration file to |
| 873 | configure the filesystem features, blocksize, and inode_ratio for |
| 874 | different filesystem types. |
| 875 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 6c09475 | 2006-05-29 11:47:25 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 876 | Mke2fs will now create filesystems hash trees and on-line resizing |
| 877 | enabled by default, based on the new /etc/mke2fs.conf file. |
| 878 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 34a2611 | 2006-03-29 20:40:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 879 | The e2fsprogs tools (resize2fs, e2fsck, mke2fs) will open the |
| 880 | filesystem device node in exclusive mode to prevent accidents by |
| 881 | system administrators. In the case of resize2fs and mke2fs, it will |
| 882 | only use exclusive mode if the filesystem is not mounted. |
| 883 | |
| 884 | Fixed a bug in mke2fs which caused it to to fail when creating the |
| 885 | resize inode for large filesystems. (Addresses Debian Bug #346580) |
| 886 | |
Theodore Ts'o | bae5564 | 2006-05-14 17:31:48 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 887 | When allocating space for the RAID filesystems with the stride |
| 888 | parameter, mke2fs will now place each portion of the group's inode |
| 889 | table right up after the superblock (if present) in order to minimize |
| 890 | fragmentation of the freespace. |
| 891 | |
| 892 | Speed up mke2fs and e2fsck by writing inode and block bitmaps more |
| 893 | efficiently by writing the inode and block bitmaps in one pass, thus |
| 894 | reducing the number of disk seeks required. |
| 895 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 34a2611 | 2006-03-29 20:40:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 896 | Add support for on-line resizing to resize2fs. |
| 897 | |
| 898 | Fix blkid library so that logic to determine whether or not a device's |
| 899 | cached information in /etc/blkid.tab needs to be verified or not |
| 900 | doesn't get confused by a system clock which is insane (for example, |
| 901 | if the battery is dead on a Macintosh running PPC Linux. (Addresses |
| 902 | Red Hat Bug: #182188) |
| 903 | |
| 904 | The blkid library will now store the UUID of the external journal used |
| 905 | by ext3 filesystems, so that in the future, the userspace mount binary |
| 906 | can use this to find the location of the external journal and pass |
| 907 | this information to the kernel. |

| 909 | E2fsck will now consult a configuration file, /etc/e2fsck.conf to |
Theodore Ts'o | 34a2611 | 2006-03-29 20:40:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 910 | control how various options should be handled. See the e2fsck.conf |

Theodore Ts'o | 34a2611 | 2006-03-29 20:40:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 913 | E2fsck now prints an explanatory message when delaying a filesystem |
| 914 | check when the system is running on battery. (Addresses Debian Bug: |
| 915 | #350306) |
Theodore Ts'o | f2b74cd | 2005-08-22 01:20:23 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 916 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4c02c41 | 2005-12-09 19:20:01 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 917 | E2fsck will detect if the superblock's last mount field or last write |
| 918 | field is in the future, and offer to fix if so. (Addresses Debian Bug |
Theodore Ts'o | f322785 | 2005-12-31 16:45:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 919 | #327580) These problems will be fixed automatically in preen mode |
| 920 | since Debian's boot sequence bogusly doesn't set the time correctly |
| 921 | until potentially very late in the bootup process, and this can cause |
| 922 | false positives which will cause users' systems to fail to boot. |

| 926 | the external journal is incorrect, and if so, offer to update it. |
| 927 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #355644) |
| 928 | |
Theodore Ts'o | f2b74cd | 2005-08-22 01:20:23 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 929 | Fix e2fsck from segfaulting on disconnected inodes that contain one or |

Theodore Ts'o | 4c02c41 | 2005-12-09 19:20:01 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 932 | E2fsck will stop and print a warning if the user tries running a |

| 934 | |
Theodore Ts'o | bae5564 | 2006-05-14 17:31:48 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 935 | Fix a memory leak in e2fsck's error paths. (Thanks to Michael |
| 936 | C. Thompson for pointing these out; they were originally found using |
| 937 | Coverity.) |
| 938 | |
Theodore Ts'o | f322785 | 2005-12-31 16:45:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 939 | When resizing a file containing a filesystem, resize2fs will expand or |

| 941 | |
Theodore Ts'o | bae5564 | 2006-05-14 17:31:48 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 942 | Resize2fs will now automatically determine the RAID stride parameter that |
| 943 | had been used to create the filesystem, and use that for newly created |
| 944 | block groups. The RAID stride parameter may also be manually specified |
| 945 | on the command line using the new -S option to resize2fs. |
| 946 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4c02c41 | 2005-12-09 19:20:01 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 947 | Fix mke2fs so that it correctly creates external journals on |

| 949 | |
Theodore Ts'o | bae5564 | 2006-05-14 17:31:48 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 950 | Fix a bug in the e2p library which could cause dumpe2fs to (rarely) |
| 951 | fail to print out the journal or hash seed UUID. (Thanks to Guillaume |
| 952 | Chambraud for pointing this out.) |
| 953 | |
| 954 | Dumpe2fs will now print the size of the journal (if present). |
| 955 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4c02c41 | 2005-12-09 19:20:01 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 956 | Fix debugfs's set_inode_field command so it can properly set the frag, |
| 957 | fsize, uid_high, gid_high, and author fields in the inode instead of |
| 958 | silently failing, and so that setting the i_size actually sets i_size |
| 959 | correctly. |
| 960 | |
| 961 | Add a new debugfs command, set_current_time, which sets fs->now so |
| 962 | that regression test suites can repeatedly modify the filesystem's |
| 963 | last_write fields. |
| 964 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 34a2611 | 2006-03-29 20:40:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 965 | Fix a bug in debugfs's icheck which would incorrectly report the owner |

| 978 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4c02c41 | 2005-12-09 19:20:01 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 979 | Fix a display bug in "badblocks -sv" so that the done message properly |

| 982 | |
Theodore Ts'o | f2b74cd | 2005-08-22 01:20:23 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 983 | Allow fractional percentages to the -m option in mke2fs and tune2fs |
| 984 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #80205) |
| 985 | |

| 989 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 34a2611 | 2006-03-29 20:40:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 990 | Add support for device mapper library to the blkid library to ensure |

Theodore Ts'o | 4c02c41 | 2005-12-09 19:20:01 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 993 | Fix the blkid library so that it notices when an ext2 filesystem is |
| 994 | upgraded to ext3. |
| 995 | |
| 996 | Improve the blkid's library VFAT/FAT detection; it now understands |
| 997 | labels stored in the root directory, and is more paranoid about |

| 1034 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 7e2ec01 | 2006-04-22 04:29:16 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1035 | Update config.guess and config.sub to latest version (2006-02-23) from |
| 1036 | FSF. |
| 1037 | |
| 1038 | Fix asm_types.h type conflicts on AMD 64 platforms. (Addresses Debian |

| 1040 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 34a2611 | 2006-03-29 20:40:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1041 | Fixed the Makefile so that they work correctly on newer versions of |
| 1042 | GNU make (i.e., 3.81). |
| 1043 | |
Theodore Ts'o | f2b74cd | 2005-08-22 01:20:23 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1044 | Add valgrind support to the regression test suites, and eliminate |

| 1046 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4c02c41 | 2005-12-09 19:20:01 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1047 | Add a regression test suite for the blkid library. |

Theodore Ts'o | 4c02c41 | 2005-12-09 19:20:01 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1051 | Fix compiler warnings about missing memcpy prototypes. |
| 1052 | |
| 1053 | We no longer have the sparc assembly code in the header file any more, |
| 1054 | so we shouldn't set _EXT2_HAVE_HAS_BITOPS_ for the sparc. This would |
| 1055 | break compiles on the sparc architectures when using gcc. |
| 1056 | |
| 1057 | In the libext2fs library, add the new field fs->now which if non-zero |
| 1058 | is used instead of the system time when setting various filesystem |
| 1059 | fields (last modified time, last write time, etc.) |
| 1060 | |
| 1061 | Fix gcc 4.01 complaints by adding a missing #include <string.h> to |
| 1062 | ext2fs.h which is needed since the inline functions use memcpy(). |
| 1063 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug #1251062) |
| 1064 | |
| 1065 | Use BUILD_CFLAGS and BUILD_LDFLAGS instead of CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in |
| 1066 | the build system when building files in the util directory which are |
| 1067 | needed during the build process. This avoids potential problems when |
| 1068 | cross-compiling and some of the options specified in CFLAGS or LDFLAGS |
| 1069 | are not recognized as valid by the host compiler. (Addresses |
| 1070 | Sourceforge Bug #1261547) |
| 1071 | |
| 1072 | Clean up the blkid library by making the superblock and generic i/o |
| 1073 | functions to be more generic. Clean up interface to the probe |
| 1074 | function, and fix memory leak. Finallly, remove an unneeded reference |
| 1075 | to probe.h in the lib/blkid/resolve.c |

| 1088 | #1261553) |
| 1089 | |
| 1090 | Add $(LDFLAGS) to the command line argument when generating an ELF or |
| 1091 | Solaris shared library, to allow cross-compile and other builds that |

Theodore Ts'o | bae5564 | 2006-05-14 17:31:48 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1095 | Add a new feature, EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_LAZY_BG, which is initially |
| 1096 | intended for testing purposes. It allows an ext2/ext3 developer to |
| 1097 | create very large filesystems using sparse files where most of the |
| 1098 | block groups are not initialized and so do not require much disk |
| 1099 | space. Eventually it could be used as a way of speeding up mke2fs and |
| 1100 | e2fsck for large filesystem, but that would be best done by adding an |
| 1101 | RO_COMPAT extension to the filesystem to allow the inode table to be |
| 1102 | lazily initialized on a per-block basis, instead of being entirely |
| 1103 | initialized or entirely unused on a per-blockgroup basis. |

| 1117 | |
| 1118 | Fix blkid's test programs (built with "make check") compile correctly |
| 1119 | even without "configure --enable-blkid-debug". |
| 1120 | |
| 1121 | Fix ia64 core dump bug caused by e2fsprogs running afoul of C99 strict |
| 1122 | type aliasing rules on newer gcc compilers. (Addresses Red Hat |

| 1124 | |
| 1125 | Fix com_err library to make it more compatible with recent changes |
| 1126 | made to the com_err library in MIT Kerberos V5 version 1.4. |
| 1127 | (Addresses Sourcefroge Bug #1150146) |
| 1128 | |
| 1129 | General cleanup of messages printed by e2fsprogs programs for grammar, |
| 1130 | consistency, and to make life easier for translators. Fixed a few |
| 1131 | strings containing English that had not been marked as needing |
| 1132 | translations. Removed strings that do not need to be translated, to |
| 1133 | make life easier for translators. |
| 1134 | |
| 1135 | Mke2fs and badblocks will take advantage of a feature in Linux 2.6 to |
| 1136 | test to see if a device appears to be in use instead of just relying |
| 1137 | on /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab. (Addresses Debian Bug #308594). |
| 1138 | |
| 1139 | Fix portability problem in the filefrag program affecting platforms |
| 1140 | where the size of an integer is smaller than the size of a long. |
| 1141 | (Addresses Debian Bug #309655) |
| 1142 | |
| 1143 | Mke2fs will now use a larger journal by default for filesystems |
| 1144 | greater than 4GB. (128 MB instead of 32MB). |
| 1145 | |
| 1146 | Mke2fs will refuse to create filesystems greater than 2**31-1 blocks, |
| 1147 | unless forced. This is to avoid signed vs. unsigned kernel bugs in |
| 1148 | block numbers that still need to be fixed. |
| 1149 | |
| 1150 | The blkid program has a new option which will more efficiently search |
| 1151 | for device when it is known (or expected) that only one matching |
| 1152 | device will be found in the system, such as when doing a lookup by |
| 1153 | UUID. |
| 1154 | |
| 1155 | Debian's e2fsprogs-specific initrd fragment will avoid including |
| 1156 | unnecessary libraries into the initrd ramdisk by unsetting LD_PRELOAD |
| 1157 | and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and filtering out libraries found in |
| 1158 | /etc/ld.so.preload. (Addresses Debian Bug: #304003) |
| 1159 | |
| 1160 | Fixed a potential portability issue in the blkid programs for |
| 1161 | architectures where the char type is unsigned. (Addresses Sourceforge |
| 1162 | Bug: #1180585) |
| 1163 | |
| 1164 | Fix a bug in filefrag so that it doesn't falsely count an extra |
| 1165 | discontinuity when the first block found is an indirect block. |
| 1166 | (Addresses Debian Bug #307607). |
| 1167 | |
| 1168 | Fix blkid's recognition of cramfs filesystems, and enhance it to be |
| 1169 | able to handle cramfs labels. |
| 1170 | |
| 1171 | Fix debugfs's stat command to not core dump when a filesystem is not |
| 1172 | open. |
| 1173 | |
| 1174 | Fix e2fsck's handling of error conditions caused by the resize inode |
| 1175 | claiming blocks that are also used by other inodes, a filesystem |
| 1176 | corruption which was commonly caused by a bug in Fedora Core 3's |
| 1177 | resize2fs program. |
| 1178 | |
| 1179 | Fixed bug in filefrag which caused it to fail on non-ext2/3 |
| 1180 | filesystems. (Addresses Debian Bug: #303509) |
| 1181 | |
| 1182 | If the superblock last mount time indicates that the system clock may |
| 1183 | not be accurate, then e2fsck will omit checking inodes' deletion time |
| 1184 | field for indications of a potential corrupted orphaned inode list. |
| 1185 | (Previously e2fsck only ommited these LOW_DTIME checks when the |
| 1186 | superblock's last write time looked insane.) |
| 1187 | |
| 1188 | Fixed a IA64 core dump bug in the e2p library which affected dumpe2fs. |
| 1189 | (Addresses Debian bug #302200) |
| 1190 | |
| 1191 | Make the blkid library more paranoid about being run from setgid |
| 1192 | programs, and to use __secure_getenv() from libc if it is available. |
| 1193 | |
| 1194 | Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. |
| 1195 | (Addresses Debian Bugs: #304591, #304592, #304594, #304597, #304593 |
| 1196 | and Sourceforge Bug: #1189803) |
| 1197 | |
| 1198 | Updated and fixed translations. |
| 1199 | |
| 1200 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| 1201 | details. |
| 1202 | |
| 1203 | Programmer's notes: |
| 1204 | ------------------- |
| 1205 | |
| 1206 | Ext2fs_set_bit(), ext2fs_clear_bit(), and ext2fs_test_bit( have been |
| 1207 | changed to take an unsigned int for the bit number. Negative bit |
| 1208 | numbers were never allowed (and didn't make any sense), so this should |
| 1209 | be a safe change. This is needed to allow safe use of block numbers |
| 1210 | greater than or equal to 2**31. |
| 1211 | |
| 1212 | The compile_et program will avoid recreating generated foo_err.c and |
| 1213 | foo_err.h files if no changes are necessary. The compile_et program |
| 1214 | will also atomically replace these files to avoid a potential parallel |
| 1215 | build race problem on SMP systems. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: |
| 1216 | #1157933) |
| 1217 | |
| 1218 | Added a new function to the blkid library, blkid_probe_all_new(), |
| 1219 | which only probes newly added disk devices, and change |
| 1220 | blkid_find_dev_with_tag() to use this function so that when a |
| 1221 | requested tag is not found, devices that were previously not checked |
| 1222 | are searched before searching all devices in the system. |
| 1223 | |
| 1224 | Added new functions to the blkid library, blkid_dev_set_search() and |
| 1225 | blkid_dev_has_tag(). |
| 1226 | |
| 1227 | E2fsck's problem strings can now use @m and @n as abbrevations for |
| 1228 | "multiply-claimed" and "invalid", respectively. |
| 1229 | |
| 1230 | The e2fsprog.pot file now has an explanation of how the @-expansion |
| 1231 | and %-expansion works, and strings in e2fsck/problem.c which contain @ |
| 1232 | characters now have comments in e2fsprogs.pot with the @-expansion to |
| 1233 | make life easier for translators. |
| 1234 | |
| 1235 | Fixed missing return values in the ext2fs library which could cause it |
| 1236 | to return random garbage in certain error conditions. |
| 1237 | |
| 1238 | Allow the current time to be overriden via the E2FSCK_TIME environment |
| 1239 | variable for use in regression tests. |
| 1240 | |
| 1241 | The test scrpit driver program now exits with a non-zero status if |
| 1242 | there any of its test that it ran failed. |
| 1243 | |
| 1244 | Fixed problems with parabuilds on SMP systems. (Addresses Sourceforge |
| 1245 | Bug: #1157933) |
| 1246 | |
| 1247 | Fixed "make check" so that it compiles correctly even when e2fsprogs' |
| 1248 | header files have not be installed in the system include directories. |
| 1249 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1180572) |
| 1250 | |
| 1251 | Fixed gcc -Wall nits. |

Theodore Ts'o | fd4b28e | 2005-03-21 22:37:03 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1254 | E2fsprogs 1.37 (March 21, 2005) |
| 1255 | =============================== |
| 1256 | |
| 1257 | Add support for checking the validity of Extended Attributes stored in |
| 1258 | inodes to e2fsck. |
| 1259 | |
| 1260 | Add support for dumping the contents of large inodes to debugfs, |
| 1261 | including the extended attributes stored in inodes. |
| 1262 | |
| 1263 | Fix mke2fs, e2fsck, debugfs, and the ext2fs_mkdir function so that |
| 1264 | when we create a new inode we make sure that the extra information in |
| 1265 | the inode (any extra fields in a large inode and any ea-in-inode |
| 1266 | information) is initialized correctly. This can take place when |
| 1267 | mke2fs creates the root and lost+found directory, when e2fsck creates |
| 1268 | a new root inode or a new lost+found directory, and when the user uses |
| 1269 | the debugfs write, mknod, or mkdir commands. Otherwise, the newly |
| 1270 | create inode could inherit garbage (or old EA information) from a |
| 1271 | previously deleted inode. |
| 1272 | |
| 1273 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck so it would notice if a file with an extended |
| 1274 | attribute block was exactly 2**32 blocks, such that i_blocks wrapped |
| 1275 | to zero. |
| 1276 | |
| 1277 | Added support to filefrag to detect files which are using the new |
| 1278 | experimental file extents format, and use the non-ext2 algorithm in |
| 1279 | that case. Fixed a bug to avoid reporting a false discontinuity if |
| 1280 | there is one or more unallocated blocks at the beginning of a file. |
| 1281 | |
| 1282 | Duplicated a check for noticing whether or not the number of blocks |
| 1283 | (given a certain blocksize) is greater than 2**32 when the |
| 1284 | BLKGETSIZE64 ioctl is not available to ext2fs_get_device_size(). This |
| 1285 | allows mke2fs to automatically use a larger blocksize when creating a |
| 1286 | filesystem on a very large device when run on systems that do not |
| 1287 | support BLKGETSIZE64. |
| 1288 | |
| 1289 | Fix the I18N build which was broken in e2fsprogs 1.36 because the |
| 1290 | build system had been switched to treat the .gmo files as shipped |
| 1291 | files (for backwards compatibility with systems that have older GNU |
| 1292 | I18N tools installed), but the gen_tarball.in script was still |
| 1293 | removing the .gmo files from the official source distribution. |
| 1294 | |
| 1295 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| 1296 | details. (Addresses Debian Bugs ##296769, #299341) |
| 1297 | |
| 1298 | Programmer's notes: |
| 1299 | ------------------- |
| 1300 | |
| 1301 | Added new functions to the e2p library which convert between a string |
| 1302 | and os_type: e2p_os2string() and e2p_string2os(), and used them to |
| 1303 | make the generated binaries more compact. |
| 1304 | |
| 1305 | Fixed a compile-time error on Darwin systems. |
| 1306 | |
| 1307 | Cleaned up the lib/ext2fs Makefile slightly. |
| 1308 | |
| 1309 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 3eee5e9 | 2005-02-05 18:26:03 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1310 | E2fsprogs 1.36 (February 4, 2005) |
| 1311 | ================================= |
Theodore Ts'o | 2b0dc0a | 2005-01-09 15:53:09 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1312 | |
| 1313 | All of the patches that were applied to Fedore Core 3's |
| 1314 | e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2 have been integrated, although sometimes with a |
| 1315 | lot of bug fixes first. Users of Fedora Core 3 are strongly |
| 1316 | encouraged to upgrade to e2fsprogs 1.36 as soon as possible. |
| 1317 | |
| 1318 | Add support for filesystem with the online resizing via resize inode |
| 1319 | feature. Fixed numerous bugs from the Fedora patches. The Fedora |
| 1320 | patches also didn't bother to do any consistency checking on the |
| 1321 | resize inode, or add any tests to the regression test suite. The "-R |
| 1322 | resize=4g" option to mke2fs was a no-op in the Fedora patches, despite |
| 1323 | being listed in mke2fs's usage message. All of these shortcomings |
| 1324 | have been corrected. |
| 1325 | |
| 1326 | E2fsck can also also fix filesystems trashed by Fedora's resize2fs |
| 1327 | program. In order to do this, the user must run the commands: |
| 1328 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d0a3b46 | 2005-05-05 22:57:44 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1329 | debugfs -w /dev/hdXXX -R "features ^resize_inode" |
Theodore Ts'o | 2b0dc0a | 2005-01-09 15:53:09 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1330 | e2fsck -f /dev/hdXXX |
| 1331 | |
| 1332 | Optionally, the ext2prepare command can be used to re-enable online |
| 1333 | resizing after the filesystem has been fixed. |
| 1334 | |
| 1335 | The fsck program will now accept an optional filedescriptor argument |
| 1336 | to the -C option. (The Fedora version of this patch would sometimes |
| 1337 | cause fsck to ignore a parameter on fsck's command line in some rare |
| 1338 | cases, sigh.) |
| 1339 | |
Theodore Ts'o | dc25697 | 2005-01-26 13:20:12 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1340 | Make sure e2fsprogs doesn't write garbage into the reserved portion of |
| 1341 | large inodes. |
| 1342 | |
| 1343 | Make sure resize2fs releases the blocks belonging to the old inode |
| 1344 | table blocks when moving the inode table. (Addresses Debian Bug: |
| 1345 | #290894) |
| 1346 | |
| 1347 | Skip the r_resize_inode test if resize2fs is not compiled (due to |
| 1348 | configure --disable-resizer) |
| 1349 | |
| 1350 | E2fsck now checks the summary filesystem accounting information, and |
| 1351 | if any of the information is obviously wrong, it will force a full |
| 1352 | filesystem check. (Addresses Debian Bug #291571) |
| 1353 | |
| 1354 | Fix e2fsck to not complain when the resize_inode feature is enabled, |
| 1355 | s_reserved_gdt_blocks is zero, and there is no DIND block allocated in |
| 1356 | the resize inode. |
| 1357 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 8ceb55f | 2005-01-28 12:33:01 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1358 | Fix e2fsck to note delete symlinks that contain an extended attribute |
| 1359 | after the ext_attr feature flag has been cleared. (Addresses Red Hat |
| 1360 | Bugzilla #146284). |
| 1361 | |
Theodore Ts'o | dc25697 | 2005-01-26 13:20:12 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1362 | Add new utility program, copy_sparse.c, which is very useful |
| 1363 | for dealing with large sparse files (such as e2image files). |
| 1364 | |
| 1365 | Add support for jnl_blocks[] for debugfs's set_super_value. |
| 1366 | |
| 1367 | Fix filefrag so that it works correctly with sparse files. |
| 1368 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 3eee5e9 | 2005-02-05 18:26:03 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1369 | Filefrag -v will print first and last blocks. |
| 1370 | |
Theodore Ts'o | dc25697 | 2005-01-26 13:20:12 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1371 | Add interpretation of OS Creator values for FreeBSD and Lites in mke2fs |
| 1372 | and dumpe2fs. |
| 1373 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 8ceb55f | 2005-01-28 12:33:01 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1374 | Add mke2fs support so that it can support filesystems larger than 4TB |
| 1375 | automatically, by retrying with a 4k blocksize if the device size is |
| 1376 | too big to be expressed using a 1k blocksize. (Addresses Sourceforge |
| 1377 | bug #1106631) |

Theodore Ts'o | dc25697 | 2005-01-26 13:20:12 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1379 | Change blkid to test for NTFS first because Windows sometimes doesn't |
| 1380 | clear enough of the parition to confuse the probing routines into |
| 1381 | thinking the old filesystem type is still valid. (Addresses Debian |
| 1382 | Bug #291990) |
| 1383 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 66fa0de | 2005-01-11 14:39:55 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1384 | Add support for swap partition label and uuid's in the blkid library. |
| 1385 | |
Theodore Ts'o | dc25697 | 2005-01-26 13:20:12 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1386 | Add support to the blkid library to recognize Oracle ASM volumes. |
| 1387 | |
| 1388 | Make blkid -t display all devices that match the specified criteria, |
Theodore Ts'o | 8ceb55f | 2005-01-28 12:33:01 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1389 | not just the first one, and work more consistently when the blkid |
| 1390 | cache file is not available or set to /dev/null. (Addresses Debian |
| 1391 | Bug #290530 and #292425) |
Theodore Ts'o | dc25697 | 2005-01-26 13:20:12 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1392 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2b0dc0a | 2005-01-09 15:53:09 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1393 | Badblocks will now correctly display block numbers greater than |
| 1394 | 999,999,999 in its progress display. |
| 1395 | |
| 1396 | The tune2fs program will not allow the user from setting a ridiculous |
| 1397 | number of reserved blocks which would cause e2fsck to assume the |
| 1398 | superblock was corrupt. E2fsck's standards for what is a ridiculous |
| 1399 | number of reserved block has also been relaxed to 50% of the blocks in |
| 1400 | the filesystem. |
| 1401 | |
| 1402 | The blkid library will return vfat in preference to msdos, and ext3 in |
| 1403 | preference to ext2 (if the journalling flag is set) so that mount will |
| 1404 | do the right thing. (Addresses Debian bug #287455) |
| 1405 | |
| 1406 | Mke2fs will now use the -E option for extended options; the old -R |
| 1407 | (raid options) option is still accepted for backwards compatibility. |
| 1408 | Fix a double-free problem in resize2fs. (Red Hat Bugzilla #132707) |
| 1409 | |
| 1410 | Mke2fs will now accept a size in megabytes, gigabytes, and other units |
| 1411 | (via "32m" or "4g" on the command line) if the user finds this more |
| 1412 | convenient than specifying a block count. |

| 1414 | Fix an obscure, hard-to find bug in "e2fsck -S" caused by an inode |
| 1415 | cache conherency problem. |
| 1416 | |
| 1417 | Debugfs now supports a new command, set_inode_field, which allows a |
| 1418 | user to manually set a specific inode field more conveniently, as well |
| 1419 | as set entries in the indirect block map. |
| 1420 | |
| 1421 | Debugfs's set_super_value command has been enhanced so that the user |
| 1422 | can set most superblock fields, including the date/time fields and |
| 1423 | some of the more newsly added superblock fields. |
| 1424 | |
| 1425 | E2fsprogs programs now accept an offset to be passed to the file |
| 1426 | specifiers, via the syntax: "/tmp/test.img?offset=1024". |
| 1427 | |
| 1428 | E2fsprogs programs will now accept blocksizes up to 65536; kernel |
| 1429 | support on the x86 doesn't exist for now, but it can be useful on |
Theodore Ts'o | 8ceb55f | 2005-01-28 12:33:01 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1430 | other architectures with page sizes greater than 4k. There are 2.6 |
| 1431 | kernel patches out there which enable this, but they are of this |
| 1432 | writing still experimental. |

Theodore Ts'o | 4ee558f | 2005-01-19 02:20:04 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1434 | The e2image command now takes the -s option which will scramble |
| 1435 | directory entries for raw image files. |
| 1436 | |
| 1437 | Fix a file descriptor leak in the filefrag program. |
| 1438 | |
| 1439 | Make sure e2fsck doesn't crash when /proc/acpi/ac_adapter is not |
| 1440 | present. |
| 1441 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2b0dc0a | 2005-01-09 15:53:09 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1442 | Fix bug in debugfs where kill_file would lead to errors when deleting |
| 1443 | devices and symlinks. (Sourceforge Bugs #954741 and #957244) |
| 1444 | |
| 1445 | Fix bug in the blkid library when detecting the ocfs1 filesystem |
| 1446 | |
| 1447 | Remove obsolete EVMS 1.x and a.out DLL support. |
| 1448 | |
| 1449 | E2fsck will attempt to recover from a journal containing illegal blocks. |
Theodore Ts'o | 4830112 | 2004-09-19 08:23:41 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1450 | |
| 1451 | Fixed two potential ordering constraint problems in e2fsck which might |
| 1452 | cause the filesystem to be corrupted if e2fsck is interrupted during a |
| 1453 | (extremely narrow) race window. Thanks to Junfeng Yang from the |
| 1454 | Stanford Metacompilation group for pointing this out. |
| 1455 | |
| 1456 | Fixed bug in e2fsck where it would not accurately detect whether or |
| 1457 | not the system is running on adaptor if the ACPI device representing |
| 1458 | the AC adapter didn't correspond to the what was used on IBM |
| 1459 | Thinkpads. |
| 1460 | |
| 1461 | Change e2fsck to accept directories greater than 32MB. |
| 1462 | |
| 1463 | Fix e2fsck so that a checkinterval of zero disables a time-based check |
| 1464 | of the filesystem. |
| 1465 | |
| 1466 | Debugfs will check the DEBUGFS_PAGER enviroment variable in preference |
| 1467 | to the PAGER environment variable. (Addresses Debian Bug #239547) |
| 1468 | |
| 1469 | Tune2fs will not mark rewrite the superblock if the feature bitmasks |
| 1470 | are not modified. |
| 1471 | |
| 1472 | The debugfs program will set the filetype information when creating a |
| 1473 | link. |
| 1474 | |
| 1475 | Add debugfs -d option to use a separate source of data blocks when |
| 1476 | reading from an e2image file. |
| 1477 | |
| 1478 | Add e2image -I option which allows the e2image metadata to be |
| 1479 | installed into a filesystem. |
| 1480 | |
| 1481 | Fixed bug in the badblocks program which caused "done" to always |
| 1482 | appear in english even when a translation was available. (Addresses |
| 1483 | Debian Bug #252836) |
| 1484 | |
| 1485 | The blkid program has a new option -o which controls the output format |
| 1486 | of the blkid program; this is makes blkid more convenient to use in |
| 1487 | shell scripts. |
| 1488 | |
| 1489 | Fix a minor bug in uuid library, which was not using the full 14 bits |
| 1490 | of clock sequence when generating UUID's. |
| 1491 | |
| 1492 | Fix a Y8.8888K problem in the uuid library. |
| 1493 | |
| 1494 | Logsave now creates a new session id for itself to avoid getting |
| 1495 | killed by init whan transitioning between init levels. |
| 1496 | |
| 1497 | Change the licensing of the UUID library to be the 3-clause BSD-style |
| 1498 | license; this allows Apple to use the uuid library in Darwin. |
| 1499 | |
| 1500 | Add ocfs and ocfs2 probe support into the blkid library. |
| 1501 | |
| 1502 | Fix a memory and file descriptor leak in the blkid library. |
| 1503 | |
| 1504 | The blkid library will revalidate the device if the system time is |
| 1505 | earlier than last verification time of the device, since that |
| 1506 | indicates that the system time is probably nottrustworthy. |
| 1507 | |
| 1508 | The blkid library will override the default location of the blkid.tab |
| 1509 | file by the BLKID_FILE environment variable, if it is available. |
| 1510 | |
| 1511 | Change the getsize functions to use the BLKGETSIZE64 ioctl on Linux 2.6. |
| 1512 | |

| 1532 | Programmer's notes: |
| 1533 | ------------------- |
| 1534 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2b0dc0a | 2005-01-09 15:53:09 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1535 | Fixed various gcc -Wall warnings. |
Theodore Ts'o | 4830112 | 2004-09-19 08:23:41 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1536 | |
| 1537 | The uuid library now has new functions uuid_unparse_upper() and |
| 1538 | uuid_unparse_lower() which forces the case of the hex digits to be |
| 1539 | upper case, or lower case. |
| 1540 | |
| 1541 | The build process has been speeded up by enhancing the subst program |
| 1542 | to update the modtime on the generated files even when the generated |
| 1543 | file hasn't changed. |
| 1544 | |
| 1545 | The uuid library now uses C99 stdint.h types instead of custom types. |
| 1546 | |
| 1547 | Updated config.guess and config.sub with newer versions from the FSF. |
| 1548 | |
| 1549 | Removed out of date .cvsignore files from the source distribution. |
| 1550 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2b0dc0a | 2005-01-09 15:53:09 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1551 | The ext2fs_unlink() function will return an error if both the name and |
| 1552 | inode number are unspecified, to avoid doing something surprising |
| 1553 | (such as unconditionally deleting the first directory entry). |
| 1554 | Directory entries are now deleted by coalescing them with the previous |
| 1555 | directory entry if possible, to avoid directory fragmentation. This |
| 1556 | is not an issue with the e2fsprogs suite, but may be a problem for |
| 1557 | some of the users of libext2fs, such as e2tools. |
| 1558 | |
| 1559 | Add support for version numbers of the form "1.36-rc1". |
| 1560 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4830112 | 2004-09-19 08:23:41 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1561 | Fix build of mke2fs.static. |
| 1562 | |
Theodore Ts'o | dc25697 | 2005-01-26 13:20:12 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1563 | Add basic ext2fs library support for large (EA in inode) inodes. |
| 1564 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4830112 | 2004-09-19 08:23:41 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1565 | The test_io mechanism can now abort after n reads or writes to a |
| 1566 | particular block. The block is specified by TEST_IO_BLOCK environment |
| 1567 | variable, and the read/write count by the TEST_IO_READ_ABORT and |
| 1568 | TEST_IO_WRITE_ABORT environment variables. The block data is now only |
| 1569 | dumped if the 0x10 bit is set in TEST_IO_FLAGS. |
| 1570 | |
| 1571 | UUID_DEFINE() in the uuid library now creates a static variable, with |
| 1572 | __attribute__ ((unused)) if we are using GCC, so that UUID_DEFINE can |
| 1573 | be used in header files. |
| 1574 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2b0dc0a | 2005-01-09 15:53:09 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1575 | Add support for the install-strip and install-shlibs-strip targets, as |
| 1576 | suggested by the GNU coding guielines. "make install" no longer |
| 1577 | strips the binaries which are installed. |
| 1578 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 3eee5e9 | 2005-02-05 18:26:03 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1579 | Remove support for the --enable-old-bitops configure option which was |
| 1580 | only for very old sparc systems. |
| 1581 | |
| 1582 | Remove support for --enable-clear-htree; this was only needed during |
| 1583 | the early development of the htree patch. |
| 1584 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2b0dc0a | 2005-01-09 15:53:09 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1585 | Use Linux-kernel-style makefile output so it is easier to see compiler |
| 1586 | warnings. |
| 1587 | |
| 1588 | Update gettext files to version 0.14.1. |
| 1589 | |
| 1590 | Update to use autoconf 2.5x. |
| 1591 | |
| 1592 | Improved support for compiling e2fsprogs under dietlibc. |
| 1593 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4ee558f | 2005-01-19 02:20:04 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1594 | Make e2fsprogs portable to Solaris and FreeBSD systems. |
| 1595 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 8ceb55f | 2005-01-28 12:33:01 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1596 | Add blkid_verify(), blkid_get_library_version(), and |
| 1597 | blkid_parse_version_string() functions to the blkid library. |
Theodore Ts'o | dc25697 | 2005-01-26 13:20:12 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1598 | |
| 1599 | Add pkg-config files for e2fsprogs's libraries. |
| 1600 | |
| 1601 | Fix "make uninstall" to so that it removes everything that is installed. |
| 1602 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 3eee5e9 | 2005-02-05 18:26:03 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1603 | Add a configure --enable-maintainer-mode option which enables the |
| 1604 | makefile rules to rebuild the configure script from configure.in, and |
| 1605 | to reubuild the .gmo files in po directory. |
| 1606 | |
| 1607 | Drop the sparc assembly bitwise operations; it's less efficient |
| 1608 | than the GCC 3.4 compile code and triggers compiler warnings on |
| 1609 | sparc64. Thanks to Matthias Andree for his analysis and suggestions. |

| 1614 | ================================== |
| 1615 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4830112 | 2004-09-19 08:23:41 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1616 | E2fsck has a new -k option, which in conjunction with the -c options, |

Theodore Ts'o | 4830112 | 2004-09-19 08:23:41 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1619 | Cleaned up e2fsck's preen-mode messages during the passes 1b, 1c, and 1d. |
Theodore Ts'o | b70b116 | 2004-02-28 10:52:35 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1620 | |
| 1621 | E2fsprogs will now deal correctly with symlinks that contain |
| 1622 | extended attribute information, which can be created using SE Linux. |
| 1623 | (Addresses Debian Bug #232328) |
| 1624 | |
| 1625 | Remove a double longjump into an invalid stack frame bug in e2fsck. |
| 1626 | (This was during an abort sequence, which normally worked on Linux and |
| 1627 | caused a core dump on other operating systems.) |
Theodore Ts'o | c4c30b2 | 2003-12-07 02:16:43 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1628 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 1daf758 | 2004-01-31 22:33:16 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1629 | Fix NLS bug in e2fsck, by avoiding trying to expand an empty string |
| 1630 | (the NLS library will replace "" with the .po header information). |
| 1631 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c4c30b2 | 2003-12-07 02:16:43 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1632 | Fix a bug in mke2fs which caused -T largefile or -T largefile4 to core |
| 1633 | dump due to a division by zero error. (Addresses Debian bug #207082) |
| 1634 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 151a716 | 2003-12-26 14:04:33 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1635 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused it to incorrectly fix a filesystem |
| 1636 | when reconnecting a directory requires creating a lost+found |
| 1637 | directory. (Addresses Debian bug #219640). |
| 1638 | |
| 1639 | Fixed a bug where e2fsck would bomb out if a journal needed to be |
| 1640 | replayed when using an alternate superblock. |
| 1641 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4830112 | 2004-09-19 08:23:41 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1642 | E2fsck will give an extra grace period before actually forcing a check |
Theodore Ts'o | c4c30b2 | 2003-12-07 02:16:43 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1643 | if the laptop is running on battery. The next time fsck runs while |
| 1644 | the system is on the AC mains, or after the grace period is exceeded, |
| 1645 | the filesystem will be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #205177) |
| 1646 | |
| 1647 | E2fsck will inform the user when there are 5 or fewer mounts before a |
| 1648 | filesystem check will be forced. (Addresses Debian bug #157194) |
| 1649 | |
| 1650 | Fix e2fsck's handling of corrupted indirect blocks in the bad block. |
| 1651 | We now correctly handle the case where there is an overlap between a |
| 1652 | block group descriptor or a superblock and a bad block indirect block. |
| 1653 | In the case where the indirect block is corrupted, we now suggest |
| 1654 | "e2fsck -c". |
| 1655 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 1daf758 | 2004-01-31 22:33:16 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1656 | Fix byte swap bugs in e2fsck that caused the journal backup location |
| 1657 | in the superblock and symlinks created by SE Linux to be cleared |
| 1658 | by e2fsck on big-endian machines. (Addresses Debian bug #228723) |
| 1659 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c4c30b2 | 2003-12-07 02:16:43 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1660 | E2fsck -c now replaces the current list of bad blocks with the ones |
| 1661 | found by badblocks. |
| 1662 | |
| 1663 | Fix bugs in e2fsck and tune2fs which could cause a core dump if a |
| 1664 | non-existent LABEL or UUID specifier is to e2fsck or tune2fs. |
| 1665 | |
| 1666 | Fix a potential bug in e2fsck which could cause it to core dump when |
| 1667 | trying to print the location of the backup superblock. |
| 1668 | |
| 1669 | Protect against a potential core dump in e2fsck when printing a |

Theodore Ts'o | 6826bde | 2003-08-21 02:14:44 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1672 | Add support for backing up the journal inode location in the |
| 1673 | superblock. E2fsck will automatically save the journal information in |
| 1674 | the superblock if it is not there already, and will use it if the |
| 1675 | journal inode appears to be corrupted. ext2fs_add_journal_inode() |
| 1676 | will also save the backup information, so that new filesystems created |
| 1677 | by mke2fs and filesystems that have journals added via tune2fs will |
| 1678 | also have journal location written to the superblock as well. |
| 1679 | Debugfs's logdump command has been enhanced so that it can use the |
| 1680 | journal information in the superblock. |
Theodore Ts'o | c4c30b2 | 2003-12-07 02:16:43 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1681 | |

| 1684 | Shrink the size of the e2fsck executable by moving some initialized |
| 1685 | variables to the BSS segment. |
| 1686 | |
| 1687 | E2fsck will avoid printing the ^A and ^B characters which bracket the |
| 1688 | progress bar when stdout and stdin are a tty device instead of a pipe |
| 1689 | to another program. (Addresses Debian bug #204137) |

| 1696 | |
| 1697 | If the environment variables DEBUFS_PAGER and PAGER are not set, |

| 1736 | Programmer's notes: |
| 1737 | ------------------- |
| 1738 | |
Theodore Ts'o | b70b116 | 2004-02-28 10:52:35 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1739 | Fixed a build problem so that e2fsprogs would compile with the |
| 1740 | --enable-profile option to configure selected. (Addresses Sourceforge |
| 1741 | bug #811408) |
| 1742 | |
| 1743 | Fixed C++ problems with the ext2fs.h header. (Addresses Red Hat |
| 1744 | Bugzilla Bug #112448) |
| 1745 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c4c30b2 | 2003-12-07 02:16:43 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1746 | Centralize code which calculates the location of the superblock |
| 1747 | and block group descriptors so that it is in a single library routine. |
| 1748 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 6826bde | 2003-08-21 02:14:44 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1749 | Added two new functions, ext2fs_file_open2() and |
| 1750 | ext2fs_inode_io_intern2() which take a pointer to an inode structure. |
| 1751 | |
| 1752 | Fix compile_et to output the correct prototype for |
| 1753 | initialize_xxx_err_table_r() in the header file. (Addresses Debian |
| 1754 | bug #204332) |
| 1755 | |
| 1756 | In the lib/et makefile, make sure com_err.info is deleted on "make clean". |
| 1757 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 858dd7b | 2003-08-02 20:48:35 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1758 | Fix 64-bit warnings in e2fsprogs pass1b by using inttypes.h if |
| 1759 | present. This is for when we try stuffing an int into void * pointer. |
| 1760 | |
| 1761 | Fix type-punning which can cause gcc 3.x to miscompile code by getting |
| 1762 | confused about pointer aliasing. ext2fs_getmem(), ext2fs_free_mem(), |
| 1763 | and ext2fs_resize_mem() all now take a 'void *' instead of a 'void |
| 1764 | **'. The EVMS code uses an ugly union approach since we don't want to |
| 1765 | modify the EVMS interfaces. |
| 1766 | |
| 1767 | Make sure all Makefiles use $(MAKE) rather than hardcoded "make", to |
| 1768 | aid build process on systems can use invoke GNU make as "gmake". |

Theodore Ts'o | 9c7ec17 | 2003-07-26 01:03:34 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1780 | E2fsprogs 1.34 (July 25, 2003) |
| 1781 | =============================== |
| 1782 | |
| 1783 | Fixed a bug introduced in E2fsprogs 1.30 which caused fsck to spin in |
| 1784 | a tight loop while waiting for a child fsck to exit in some cases. |
| 1785 | This burns CPU times which slows down the low-level filesystem check. |
| 1786 | |
| 1787 | Added code to mke2fs to assure that the default block size for a |
| 1788 | filesystem is at least as big as the sector size of the device, if it |
| 1789 | can be determined. |
| 1790 | |
| 1791 | Changed mke2fs and resize2fs to round the default size of a filesystem |
| 1792 | to be an even multiple of the VM pagesize in order to avoid a Linux |
| 1793 | kernel bug introduced when the storage of the buffer cache was moved |
| 1794 | into the page cache. |
| 1795 | |
| 1796 | Mke2fs will warn the user when creating a filesystem with journaling |
| 1797 | and a blocksize greater than 4096. (Addresses Debian bug #193773) |
| 1798 | |
| 1799 | Fixed a bug in resize2fs which caused it to fail on filesystems with a |
| 1800 | non-empty bad block list. Resize2fs now discards any blocks on the |
| 1801 | badblock list which are no longer part of the filesystem as the result |
| 1802 | of a filesystem shrink. (Note: this means that shrinking and then |
| 1803 | enlarging a filesystem is no longer a reversible operation; |
| 1804 | information about bad blocks in the part of the filesystem which is to |
| 1805 | be chopped off will be lost.) |
| 1806 | |
| 1807 | Changed resize2fs so the user can use prefixes to specify the units of |
| 1808 | the new filesystem size (sectors, kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes), |
| 1809 | and to make the error and informational messages explicitly display |
| 1810 | the blocksize used by the filesystem, in order to avoid confusion. |
| 1811 | (Addresses Debian bug: #189814) |
| 1812 | |
| 1813 | Added a new debugfs command, dump_unused, which dumps the contents of |
| 1814 | all unused blocks to stdout. (Useful as an emergency try-to-find |
| 1815 | deleted data command.) |
| 1816 | |
| 1817 | Added a new debugfs command, imap, which prints the location of a |
| 1818 | specified inode in the inode table. |
| 1819 | |
| 1820 | Fixed a bug in the badblocks program which caused it to use one bit of |
| 1821 | randomness in its non-destructive read/write test, instead of using a |
| 1822 | full 8 bits of randomness. |
| 1823 | |
| 1824 | Added a new option (-t) to badblocks, which allows the user to control |
| 1825 | the test pattern(s) used when checking a disk. |
| 1826 | |
| 1827 | The blkid probe function now more correctly detects UDF filesystems. |
| 1828 | |
| 1829 | Fixed a bug in the blkid library which caused it to not update its |
| 1830 | cache if a filesystem changes from having a label to not having a |
| 1831 | label. |
| 1832 | |
| 1833 | Fixed a bug in the blkid library wihch could avoid an infinite loop |
| 1834 | in blkid_find_dev_with_tag() if /proc is not mounted and there the |
| 1835 | /etc/blkid.tab file has not yet been created. |
| 1836 | |
| 1837 | Fixed the badblocks program so that the destructive read/write test |
| 1838 | honors the -c option, and to use O_DIRECT when possible to avoid |
| 1839 | thrashing the system block buffer cache. |
| 1840 | |
| 1841 | Fixed various NLS issues. |
Theodore Ts'o | c8a4040 | 2005-06-05 16:42:20 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1842 | - Added Czech and Swedish translations |
Theodore Ts'o | 9c7ec17 | 2003-07-26 01:03:34 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1843 | - Removed testing NYC translation |
| 1844 | - Fixed NLS support for message abbrevations in e2fsck |
| 1845 | - Remove de-utf.po, since we shouldn't have two versions using different |
| 1846 | charset encodings. |
| 1847 | - Used ngettext() (abbreivated with the macro P_(str1, str2, n)) to |
| 1848 | simplify the statistics reporting in e2fsck. |
| 1849 | |
| 1850 | Changed configure.in so that its defaults for *BSD systems no longer |
| 1851 | build an fsck wrapper, and not to install in /usr/local by default. |
| 1852 | |
| 1853 | Fixed some minor spelling errors/typo's in e2fsck and the configure |
| 1854 | script. |
| 1855 | |
| 1856 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues (see debian/changelog). |
| 1857 | |
| 1858 | Updated and clarified man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug #195616) |
| 1859 | |
| 1860 | Programmer's notes: |
| 1861 | ------------------- |
| 1862 | |
| 1863 | Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks. |
| 1864 | |
| 1865 | Updated gettext implementation used by e2fsprogs to 0.11.5, and enable |
| 1866 | NLS support by default. (Added partial workaround for gettext/Darwin |
| 1867 | incompatibility problems.) |
| 1868 | |
| 1869 | Added full MIT KRB5 and Himdall compaibility support to the com_err |
| 1870 | library and the compile_et program. (Addresses Debian bug #191900) |
| 1871 | |
| 1872 | Added the blkid_known_fstype() function to the blkid library, which |
| 1873 | returns true if it is passed a filesystem type which is recognized by |
| 1874 | the blkid probing functions. |
| 1875 | |
| 1876 | Improved the documentation for the blkid library. |
| 1877 | |
| 1878 | Added the ext2fs_get_device_sectsize() function the the ext2fs library, which |
| 1879 | returns the hardware sector size of a device, if it is available. |
| 1880 | |
| 1881 | Added a dependency in the blkid library's .so file to the uuid |
| 1882 | library, since the former uses the latter. (Addresses Debian bug |
| 1883 | #194094) |
| 1884 | |
| 1885 | Added --with-diet-libc and --disable-evms to the configure script. |
| 1886 | |
| 1887 | Fixed a minor memory leak in the badblocks program. |
| 1888 | |
| 1889 | Fixed a portability problem in tune2fs --- not all systems have strptime(). |
| 1890 | |
| 1891 | Fixed a portability problem in debugfs with the use of getopt() more |
| 1892 | than once. Old-style BSD, new-style BSD, and Linux C libraries all do |
| 1893 | things differently. |
| 1894 | |
| 1895 | Add support Windows support to ext2fs_get_device_size(). |
| 1896 | |
| 1897 | Added (normally disabled) debugging code to the Unix I/O manager which |
| 1898 | causes it to disable all userspace caching if the NO_IO_CACHE is |
| 1899 | defined. |
| 1900 | |
| 1901 | Changed the test I/O manager so it can always be linked into e2fsck, |
| 1902 | mke2fs, and tune2fs if enabled via --enable-test-io-debug to the |
| 1903 | configure script. The test I/O manager will only print any debugging |
| 1904 | information if the TEST_IO_FLAGS or TEST_IO_BLOCK environment |
| 1905 | variables are set, which specifies which I/O operations are logged and |
| 1906 | a block number to watch, respectively. The log messages are sent to |
| 1907 | stderr by default, unless a filename is specified via the |
| 1908 | TEST_IO_LOGFILE environment variable. |
| 1909 | |
| 1910 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 71df0dc | 2003-04-21 16:17:09 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1911 | E2fsprogs 1.33 (April 21, 2003) |
Theodore Ts'o | 9c7ec17 | 2003-07-26 01:03:34 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1912 | =============================== |
Theodore Ts'o | 508d7f3 | 2003-03-16 20:41:04 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1913 | |
Theodore Ts'o | ba142c1 | 2003-04-16 00:59:59 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1914 | Added a new utility program, logsave, which captures the output of a |
| 1915 | command in a log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been |
| 1916 | mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in memory until it |
| 1917 | can write out the logfile). This is useful for capturing the |
| 1918 | output of fsck during the boot sequence. |
| 1919 | |
| 1920 | Fixed some portability problems that were causing problems under |
| 1921 | the Cygwin32 environment. |
| 1922 | |
| 1923 | Mke2fs now interprets a negative number to the -b option as a minimum |
| 1924 | block size. |
| 1925 | |
| 1926 | Fixed a bug in mke2fs which was incorrectly checking the argument to |
| 1927 | the -g option if the default block size was used. (Addresses Debian |
| 1928 | bug #188319) |
| 1929 | |
| 1930 | Fsck now explicitly ignores tmpfs and devpts, and it will complain if |
| 1931 | it can not find filesystem checkers for jfs, reseirfs, and xfs. |
| 1932 | |
| 1933 | E2fsck now updates the global free block and inode counters from the |
| 1934 | block group specific counters quietly. This is needed for an |
| 1935 | experimental patch which eliminates locking the entire filesystem when |
| 1936 | allocating blocks or inodes; if the filesystem is not unmounted |
| 1937 | cleanly, the global counts may not be accurate. |
| 1938 | |
| 1939 | Imported bug fixes to the EVMS plugin from the EVMS 2.0 tree. (EVMS |
| 1940 | 2.0 is not yet supported; this only pulled in the bug fixes: fixed |
| 1941 | possible hangs caused by bugs in calling waitpid, and not setting the |
| 1942 | pipe to non-blocking mode; also fixed a file descriptor leak; made |
| 1943 | sure all functions call log entry/exit functions.) |
| 1944 | |
| 1945 | Badblocks now flushes its output file as bad blocks are discovered. |
| 1946 | |
| 1947 | The uuid library is now more paranoid about assuming the correctness |
| 1948 | of the /dev/random device; it mixes in a stream of bytes from |
| 1949 | random/srandom, just in case. |
| 1950 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 39d38b0 | 2003-03-30 23:45:02 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1951 | Update Debian files to reflect the fact that I am now the Debian |
Theodore Ts'o | ba142c1 | 2003-04-16 00:59:59 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1952 | maintainer of e2fsprogs. Other various Debian-specific packaging |
| 1953 | cleanups. |
Theodore Ts'o | 39d38b0 | 2003-03-30 23:45:02 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1954 | |
| 1955 | Move the source tarball generation functions from the top-level |
| 1956 | makefile to the util/gen-tarball script. |
| 1957 | |
| 1958 | Updated the Turkish .po translation file. |
| 1959 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 1daf758 | 2004-01-31 22:33:16 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1960 | Added Heimdal and MIT krb5 extensions to the com_err library to make |
Theodore Ts'o | 39d38b0 | 2003-03-30 23:45:02 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1961 | it more compatible with com_err libraries from those distributions. |
| 1962 | |
| 1963 | Changed dumpe2fs to always display the superblock fields relating to |
| 1964 | the journalling and/or directory indexing feature even if those |
| 1965 | features are not enabled. |
| 1966 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 508d7f3 | 2003-03-16 20:41:04 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1967 | Updated and clarify copyright statement vis-a-vis alpha releases of |
| 1968 | e2fsprogs. |
| 1969 | |
| 1970 | The ss library will now try to dynamically link to the readline |
| 1971 | library and use it if it is present in the system. This means that |
Theodore Ts'o | ba142c1 | 2003-04-16 00:59:59 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1972 | the debugfs program now has line editing and history features. The |
| 1973 | SS_READLINE_PATH environment variable is used to find a readline or |
| 1974 | readline-compatible library. |
Theodore Ts'o | 3809bf1 | 2003-03-07 01:09:57 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1975 | |
Theodore Ts'o | e5dced7 | 2003-03-15 04:28:17 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1976 | E2fsck now finds most duplicate filenames (all when rebuilding all |
| 1977 | directories via the -D option) and offers to delete or rename |
| 1978 | duplicate filenames/directory entries. (Addresses Debian Bug #176814). |
| 1979 | |
| 1980 | Fix bug in e2image. When writing out a raw image file, include data |
| 1981 | blocks from symlinks that do not store the symlink within the inode. |
| 1982 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 3809bf1 | 2003-03-07 01:09:57 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1983 | Fix bug in resize2fs which incorrectly moved the block and inode |
| 1984 | bitmaps for sparse superblock filesystems and incorrectly marked |
| 1985 | blocks as in use. (Addresses Debian bug #174766) |
| 1986 | |
| 1987 | Added a new shared library, the blkid library, which efficiently |
| 1988 | allows fsck, mke2fs, e2fsck, and tune2fs to be able to look up LABEL |
| 1989 | and UUID filesystem specifiers without needing to search all of the |
| 1990 | devices in the system. Instead, the device is looked up in a cache |
| 1991 | file, and then verified to make sure the blkid cache is correct. |
| 1992 | |
| 1993 | Tune2fs and e2label will accept LABEL=xxx and UID=yyy specifiers for |
| 1994 | the device name, using the blkid library. (Addresses Debian bugs |
| 1995 | #166048, #179671) |
| 1996 | |
| 1997 | Fsck now supports backslash escapes in /etc/fstab so that \040 can be |
| 1998 | used for spaces in device labels. |
| 1999 | |
| 2000 | Removed 32-bit limitations for debugfs's dump command. |
| 2001 | |
| 2002 | If the user specifies a large number of inodes, Mke2fs will |
| 2003 | automatically adjust the number of blocks per group to find a valid |
| 2004 | set of filesystem parameters. |
| 2005 | |
| 2006 | Add workaround to detect broken MD devices where when some of the |
| 2007 | underlying devices are marked read-only, writes to the MD device are |
| 2008 | silently dropped. E2fsck will detect if there is an attempt to run |
| 2009 | the journal twice, and abort with an error if this is the case. |
| 2010 | (Addresses IBM Bugzilla bug #1226) |
| 2011 | |
| 2012 | E2fsck will print an error if more than one of the -p/-a, -n or -y |
| 2013 | options are specified. |
| 2014 | |
| 2015 | E2fsck will fix HTREE corruptions in preen mode, without stopping the |
| 2016 | boot process. This is needed because the 2.4 ext2 filesystem |
| 2017 | accidentally had the INDEX_FL backwards compatibility code removed. |
| 2018 | |
| 2019 | Mke2fs no longer creates filesystems with the dir_index flag set by |
| 2020 | default; the user has to specifically request it. |
| 2021 | |
| 2022 | Update and clarified various man pages. (Addresses Debian bugs |

| 2038 | Changes to create a subset distribution which consists only of the |
| 2039 | et, ss, uuid, and blkid libraries. The configure script and top-level |
| 2040 | makefile were changed to support working with a subset distribution. |

| 2054 | ================================== |
| 2055 | |
| 2056 | Fixed a bug in the Unix I/O routines which caused needless writebacks |
| 2057 | of clean blocks from the unix_io cache (they were erroneously marked |
| 2058 | as being dirty, so they were getting written back to disk before |
| 2059 | getting evicted from the disk cache). This was harmless, but it |
| 2060 | significantly slowed down e2fsck. |
| 2061 | |
| 2062 | Made some other minor optimizations to the Unix I/O routines to save a |
| 2063 | small amount of CPU time. |
| 2064 | |
| 2065 | Updated internationalization files. |
| 2066 | |

| 2069 | ================================== |
| 2070 | |
| 2071 | Update EVMS ext2fsim plugin with EVMS 1.2. (We still support |
| 2072 | compiling the fsim plugin with EVMS 1.0 and 1.1.) Add better error |
| 2073 | handling for child process that die unexpectly. Add a hack to force |
| 2074 | mkfs to create filesystems that won't cause problems with hardware |
| 2075 | that has 2k or 4k minimum blocksize requirements. Read from child |
| 2076 | processes in non-blocking mode, so that the GUI continues to update. |
| 2077 | |
| 2078 | Fix e2fsck so that it returns the appropriate exit code when the root |
| 2079 | filesystem has been changed, so that system's rc scripts will be told that |
| 2080 | the system needs to be rebooted. |
| 2081 | |
| 2082 | Fix a bug in ext2fs_flush/ext2fs_close; when the MASTER_SB_ONLY flag |
| 2083 | was set, some of the descriptor blocks that should have been written |
| 2084 | out were getting skipped. |
| 2085 | |
| 2086 | Changed e2fsck to force out changes to the backup copies of the |
| 2087 | superblock and block group descriptors when important changes are made |
| 2088 | to those data structures. |
| 2089 | |
| 2090 | Fix a bug where e2fsck could erroneously mark a filesystem as being |
| 2091 | clean if a check of dirty filesystem is interrupted with a ^C. (Bug |
| 2092 | introduced in e2fsprogs 1.28.) |
| 2093 | |
| 2094 | If journal debuging is enabled using --enable-jbd-debug, the debugging |
| 2095 | level is now set via the E2FSCK_JBD_DEBUG environment variable. |
| 2096 | |
| 2097 | If byteswapping support is disabled using configure --disable-swapfs, |
| 2098 | skip the tests which depend on byte-swapping, so that "make check" |
| 2099 | won't bomb out. |
| 2100 | |
| 2101 | Lshattr will now display the indexed directory flag. Also, some of |
| 2102 | the more esoteric compression flags are supressed unless compression |
| 2103 | support has been enabled. |
| 2104 | |
| 2105 | Update man pages. |
| 2106 | |
| 2107 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 5d823a4 | 2002-11-01 02:13:53 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2108 | E2fsprogs 1.30 (October 31, 2002) |
| 2109 | ================================= |
| 2110 | |
| 2111 | When resizing a filesystem, and inodes need to moved, resize2fs will |
| 2112 | update the inode's ctime field, and the mtime field of the containing |
| 2113 | directories, so that incremental backups using dump/restore will work |
| 2114 | correctly. |
| 2115 | |
| 2116 | In order to avoid spurious errors, e2fsck wil check the last |
| 2117 | superblock write time to determine whether or not it can safely use |
| 2118 | the LOW_DTIME checks to determine if there are inodes on the orphan |
| 2119 | inode linked list that had somehow gotten disconnected. (Addresses |
| 2120 | Sourceforge bug #620980) |
| 2121 | |
| 2122 | Partition in /proc/partitions that being with the string "lvm" are |
| 2123 | considered real partitions even if they do not end with a number. |
| 2124 | |
| 2125 | Fixed a bug in the the uuid generation function, where if /dev/urandom |
| 2126 | is not present, but /dev/random is, and there isn't sufficient |
| 2127 | entropy, the get_random_byte function could spin a loop forever. |
| 2128 | |
| 2129 | E2fsck, mke2fs, etc. will now reliably notice when image files are |
| 2130 | mounted using the loopback interface. (Addresses Sourceforge bug |
| 2131 | #619119) |
| 2132 | |
| 2133 | When flushing buffers (as is done by badblocks, for example) check to |
| 2134 | see if the BLKFLSBUF ioctl succeeds, and if so, avoid using the |
| 2135 | FDFLUSH ioctl which causes the MD device driver which causes confusing |
| 2136 | syslog messages about obselete ioctl messages. (Addresses Sourceforge |
| 2137 | bug #545832). |
| 2138 | |
| 2139 | Debugfs's write command now checks to see if the destination filename |
| 2140 | exists before creating it. (Addresses Sourceforge bug #478195.) |
| 2141 | |
| 2142 | When installing man pages, search for compressed man pages using all |
| 2143 | commonly used compression extensions (i.e., .Z, .gz, .bz2, etc.) |
| 2144 | |
| 2145 | Fixed a bug in fsck where multiple filesystems specified on the |
| 2146 | command were not being checked in parallel due to a logic bug |
| 2147 | introduced to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment variable. |
| 2148 | |
| 2149 | We have added a new superblock field, s_mkfs_time, which indicates |
| 2150 | when a filesystem was created. It is set via mke2fs, and printed out |
| 2151 | by dumpe2fs, but is not actually touched by the kernel. |
| 2152 | |
| 2153 | Dumpe2fs has been made more robust by not aborting if there is an |
| 2154 | error reading the block/inode bitmaps; instead it will still print out |
| 2155 | the location of the block/inode bitmaps and inode table. |
| 2156 | |
| 2157 | Add support for the an alternative block group descriptor layout which |
| 2158 | allows for on-line resizing without needing to prepare the filesystem |
| 2159 | in advance. (This is the incomat feature flag meta_bg.) |
| 2160 | |
| 2161 | Add support for storing default mount options in the superblock, so |
| 2162 | that the filesystem can be mounted with specific mount options without |
| 2163 | needing to specify them on the mount command line or in the /etc/fstab |
| 2164 | file. |
| 2165 | |
| 2166 | Add support for a new inode flag, which is to be used for indicating |
| 2167 | the top of directory hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator. |
| 2168 | |
| 2169 | Fix e2fsck so that if it creates the lost+found directory, it does so |
| 2170 | with the more apporpriate permissions of 0700. Also change |
| 2171 | mklost+found so that it also creates the directory 0700. |
| 2172 | |
| 2173 | Fixed format bug in e2fsck if NLS is in use. |
| 2174 | |
| 2175 | Add a German translation for e2fsprogs's NLS support. |
| 2176 | |
| 2177 | Fixed e2fsck so that it more handles BAD_BLOCK_IN_INODE_TABLE even at |
| 2178 | the beginning of the inode table. This won't matter much, since if |
| 2179 | there is a bad block at the beginning of the inode table, the root |
| 2180 | directory won't be available. But at least e2fsck won't crash in this |
| 2181 | case. |
| 2182 | |
| 2183 | Fixed endian problems in the htree code for e2fsck and debugfs. |
| 2184 | |
| 2185 | When byte-swapping a filesystem on a PPC architecture, byte-swap the |
| 2186 | bitmaps since the historical big-endian ext2 variant had byte-swapped |
| 2187 | bitmaps, and the ext2fs library assumes this. This fixes the |
| 2188 | regression test suite on PPC machines. |
| 2189 | |
| 2190 | Fix e2image so that it handles a bad block in the inode table |
| 2191 | appropriately. |
Theodore Ts'o | d5e7810 | 2002-09-30 11:33:36 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2192 | |
| 2193 | E2fsck now uses a more sophisticated algorithm to salvage corrupted |
| 2194 | directories that recovers more information in the corrupted directory |
| 2195 | block. |
| 2196 | |
| 2197 | E2fsck now performs additional consistency checks on indexed (HTREE) |
| 2198 | directories. |
| 2199 | |
| 2200 | Fix bug where efsck might get confused about whether a completely |
| 2201 | empty directory block is an empty leaf block or an interior htree |
| 2202 | node. This could cause e2fsck to get confused into think that a valid |
| 2203 | indexed directory was corrupted. |
| 2204 | |
| 2205 | E2fsck no longer creates an empty directory entry at the end of a |
| 2206 | directory block when optimizing a directory. This would cause some |
| 2207 | earlier versions of the dxdir kernel code to corrupt the directory |
| 2208 | when attempting to split a node containing an empty directory entry. |
| 2209 | |
| 2210 | E2fsck could sometimes in rare circumstances leave the indexed flag |
| 2211 | set after a small directory was optimized by compressing it instead of |
| 2212 | indexing it. (This should never happen in real life, since |
| 2213 | directories that small wouldn't have been indexed, but better safe |
| 2214 | than sorry.) |
| 2215 | |
| 2216 | E2fsck now only updates the master superblock in all cases. This |
| 2217 | slightly shortens its run time. |
| 2218 | |
| 2219 | Ext2ed can deal with directory entries of length 0; previously it |
| 2220 | would get stuck in an infinite loop. |
| 2221 | |
| 2222 | Fsck now has support for reiserfs volumes when parsing LABEL= and UUID= |
| 2223 | specifiers. (Sourceforge patch #613447) |
| 2224 | |
| 2225 | Badblocks will now work correctly on read-only devices such as |
| 2226 | CD-ROM's. (Sourceforge patch #600451) |
| 2227 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 5d823a4 | 2002-11-01 02:13:53 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2228 | Updated and clarified man pages. (Addresses Debian bug #167108) |

| 2232 | =================================== |
| 2233 | |
| 2234 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could corrupt a directory when optimizing |
| 2235 | it (via the -D option) or rebuiliding the hash tree index with a 1 in |
| 2236 | 512 probability, due to a fence post error. |
| 2237 | |
| 2238 | Fixed a bug in the LVM support code which caused LABEL='xxx' not to |
| 2239 | work correctly. |
| 2240 | |
| 2241 | Mke2fs now enables the directory indexing flag by default. (Since |
| 2242 | this is a compatible feature flag, it's safe to do so.) |
| 2243 | |
| 2244 | Tune2fs will support setting the directory indexing feature flag. It |
| 2245 | will automatically set up the default hash algorithm and hash seed |
| 2246 | fields in the superblock. |
| 2247 | |
| 2248 | If the bone-headed user enters the root filesystem twice in |
| 2249 | /etc/fstab, the -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip |
| 2250 | all of them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not a |
| 2251 | precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind of doubled |
| 2252 | entry in /etc/fstab! |
| 2253 | |
| 2254 | |
| 2255 | Programmer's notes: |
| 2256 | ------------------- |
| 2257 | |
| 2258 | Removed perror declaration in lib/et/internal.h. All modern systems |
| 2259 | can be expected to define perror() these days. Besides, the lib/et |
| 2260 | code wasn't using perror at all anyway. :-) |
| 2261 | |

Theodore Ts'o | b7bad61 | 2002-08-31 03:00:33 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2263 | E2fsprogs 1.28 (August 31, 2002) |
| 2264 | ================================ |
| 2265 | |
| 2266 | Add support for the Hashed-Tree Directory Indexing to e2fsck. Support |
| 2267 | for setting the htree flag is not included yet, although it can be |
| 2268 | manually turned on via the debugfs program. |
| 2269 | |
| 2270 | Clarified e2fsck error message which is printed when it cannot find |
| 2271 | sufficient contiguous block when relcating filesystem metadata. |
| 2272 | |
| 2273 | Added support for building an EVMS plugin module for ext2/3. This |
| 2274 | module is substantially the same as the EVMS module shipping with EVMS |
| 2275 | 1.1, with one or two bugfixes. E2fsprogs can also build this plugin |
| 2276 | for use with EVMS 1.0 (which did not include the ext2 plugin module), |
| 2277 | if the configure --enable-old-evms flag is given. |
| 2278 | |
| 2279 | Fsck will search through EVMS volumes when trying to resolve |
| 2280 | filesystem specifications such as LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx. |
| 2281 | |
| 2282 | Added a new utility program, /sbin/findfs, which will return |
| 2283 | filesystem specifications such as LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx, and prints |
| 2284 | the device name. |
| 2285 | |
| 2286 | Update and clarified various man pages. (addresses Debian Bug #145044, |
| 2287 | #146437, #131350, #151990, #144621, #141938) |
| 2288 | |
| 2289 | If there are no filesystems specified on fsck's command line, fsck now |
| 2290 | treat that as if the -As options were given. Previously it would |
| 2291 | simply do nothing. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102) |
| 2292 | |
| 2293 | Mke2fs no longer treats a failure to be able to clear the MD signature |
| 2294 | at the end of the filesystem as a fatal error. (Addresses Debian Bug |
| 2295 | #155007) |
| 2296 | |
| 2297 | The e2p library functions (which are used by lsattr and chattr) now |
| 2298 | double check to make sure the file is a regular file or directory |
| 2299 | before attempting to use the ext2 ioctls. Some device drivers |
| 2300 | unfortunately respond to the ext2 ioctl's with unknown behaviour. |
| 2301 | (Addresses Debian Bug #152029). |
| 2302 | |
| 2303 | The extended attribute handling has been updated to correspond with |
| 2304 | the latest V2 bestbits ACL code. |
| 2305 | |
| 2306 | Fixed bug in e2fsck which caused it to not clear the dtime field when |
| 2307 | processing truncated inodes on the orphan list. This could cause data |
| 2308 | loss(!) if a filesystem is rebooted before a truncate has been |
| 2309 | committed. |
| 2310 | |
| 2311 | E2fsck now uses red/black trees in pass1b, which removes some O(n**2) |
| 2312 | algorithms. This makes e2fsck much faster in the case of severely |
| 2313 | corrupted filesystems where a large number of blocks are claimed by a |
| 2314 | large number of inodes. (Thanks to the 2.5 IDE device driver for |
| 2315 | inspiring this work.) |
| 2316 | |
| 2317 | Resize2fs has been significantly sped up when shrinking and expanding |
| 2318 | a filesystem by a very small number of blocks (for example, when EVMS |
| 2319 | is converting a partition to be an EVMS legacy volume). |
| 2320 | |
| 2321 | Added a new option to e2fsck, -D, which will optimize or compress all |
| 2322 | of the directories in the filesystem. |
| 2323 | |
| 2324 | E2fsck now catches SIGINT and SIGTERM to make sure it will can |
| 2325 | properly clean up and only exit at safe points. Fsck will pass |
| 2326 | SIGINT/SIGTERM to its child processes, and wait until they have all |
| 2327 | exited before it exits. |
| 2328 | |
| 2329 | The uuid parsing code in the uuid library now properly complains when |
| 2330 | an illegally formated uuid is presented to it. (Addresses Debian bug |
| 2331 | #152891) |
| 2332 | |
| 2333 | Restrict use of the 2.4 setrlimit ABI f*ckup to kernels between 2.4.10 |
| 2334 | and 2.4.17, since the workaround can cause problems when using a 2.4 |
| 2335 | kernel with an old version of glibc built with the 2.2 headers. |
| 2336 | |
| 2337 | Fixed a bug in mke2fs where it wasn't properly clearing the initial |
| 2338 | superblock used by other filesystems. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.) |
| 2339 | |
| 2340 | Added support for the synchronous directory feature written by Andrew |
| 2341 | Morton. |
| 2342 | |
| 2343 | The debugfs program can delete directories using the rmdir command. |
| 2344 | |
| 2345 | Add support for 8k and 16k filesystems (for systems with page sizes |
| 2346 | that are greater or equal to 8k or 16k, respectively). Note that |
| 2347 | these filesystems can not be mounted on x86 systems, or other systems |
| 2348 | with only 4k page sizes, due to limitations in the current Linux VM |
| 2349 | code. |
| 2350 | |
| 2351 | Resize2fs requires that the filesystem state be valid and have no |
| 2352 | errors; otherwise, e2fsck -f must be run first. (Previously it simply |
| 2353 | required that the last fsck time be greater than the last mount time.) |
| 2354 | |
| 2355 | Configure now defaults the man pages directory to /usr/share/man on |
| 2356 | Linux systems. |
| 2357 | |
| 2358 | E2fsck now offers to truncate inodes which contain too many blocks (so |
| 2359 | that i_blocks would overflow. Also fixed handling of large sparse |
| 2360 | files. |
| 2361 | |
| 2362 | E2fsck now more completely checks for symlink validity, including |
| 2363 | requiring NULL termination and length checks. |
| 2364 | |
| 2365 | E2fsck will offer to try forcing a disk write to remap a bad block |
| 2366 | after finding a read error when reading a filesystem metadata block. |
| 2367 | |
| 2368 | Fixed a bug in debugfs which caused the -b and -s options to crash |
| 2369 | debugfs, as well as breaking the testb, setb, and clearb functions. |
| 2370 | |
| 2371 | Added a bmap command to debugfs which calculates the logical to |
| 2372 | physical block mapping for a particular inode. |
| 2373 | |
| 2374 | Fixed a bug in code which checked to see if a device was mounted which |
| 2375 | sometimes (rarely) failed in the case of a plain file. |
| 2376 | |
| 2377 | Fixed a bug in resize2fs where when it reported an error, it would |
| 2378 | print a message erroneously indicating that the filesystem had been |
| 2379 | resized before it aborted. |
| 2380 | |
| 2381 | When resizing a plain file which is smaller than the requested size, |
| 2382 | resize2fs will attempt to extended the file so that programs like |
| 2383 | e2fsck will not complain that the file is too small. |
| 2384 | |
| 2385 | Resize2fs will print the actual new size of the filesystem when it is |
| 2386 | finished resizing. |
| 2387 | |
| 2388 | Fixed a bug in debugfs where "ls -l" would report incorrectl file type |
| 2389 | information on big-endian systems. |
| 2390 | |
| 2391 | |
| 2392 | Programmer's notes: |
| 2393 | ------------------- |
| 2394 | |
| 2395 | Fixed collisions with C++ reserved words. |
| 2396 | |
| 2397 | Added portability fixes for building e2fsprogs on the HURD and AIX. |
| 2398 | |
| 2399 | Added the ext2ed program for creation of test cases. (ext2ed has many |
| 2400 | limitations and bugs which make it unsuitable for production use.) |
| 2401 | |
| 2402 | The ext2fs_read_dir_block2 and ext2fs_write_dir_block now take a new |
| 2403 | flag, EXT2_DIRBLOCK_V2_STRUCT, which will will reverse when the |
| 2404 | name_len field is byte swampped on big-endian machines, since in the |
| 2405 | V2 structure, name_len is a char field which is doesn't need to be |
| 2406 | byte swapped --- except if an old-style kernel had byte-swapped the |
| 2407 | name_len field as part of the V1 structure. |
| 2408 | |

| 2411 | ============================== |
| 2412 | |
| 2413 | The warning messages for mke2fs now go to standard error. |
| 2414 | |
| 2415 | Fixed to make sure "make check" runs all of the test programs with |
| 2416 | LD_LIBRARY_PATH set, so that we test the libraries in the build tree. |
| 2417 | |
| 2418 | The mke2fs program checks the boot sector for the BSD disk label, and |
| 2419 | avoids erasing it if it is there. |
| 2420 | |
| 2421 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused it to core dump if the journal |
| 2422 | inode was missing when it was supposed to be there. |
| 2423 | |
| 2424 | E2fsck now prints ranges in pass 5 when printing deltas for the block |
| 2425 | and inode bitmaps. |
Theodore Ts'o | afa14ba | 2002-03-05 03:31:06 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2426 | |
| 2427 | Debugfs's "ls -l" command now will print out the file type information |
| 2428 | in the directory entry. |
| 2429 | |
| 2430 | Create man pages and hard links for fsck.ext3 and mkfs.ext3. If |
| 2431 | mke2fs is invoked as mkfs.ext3, create the filesystem with a journal. |
| 2432 | |
| 2433 | Debugfs can now examine the experimental directory indexing |
| 2434 | information. |
| 2435 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a471ac5 | 2002-03-05 03:37:06 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2436 | Fixed bug in debugfs which caused it to core dump if modify_inode is |
| 2437 | called without an open filesystem. |
| 2438 | |
| 2439 | The debugfs lsdel command now runs its output through a pager first. |
| 2440 | |
Theodore Ts'o | afa14ba | 2002-03-05 03:31:06 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2441 | When installing manual pages, remove the compressed manual pages first. |
| 2442 | |
| 2443 | Synchronized with Debian's packaging information for e2fsprogs-1.26-1. |
| 2444 | |
| 2445 | Fix the 2.4 resource limitation workaround introduced in 1.26 which |
| 2446 | actually broke things on mips32, sparc32, and Alpha platforms. |
| 2447 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a471ac5 | 2002-03-05 03:37:06 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2448 | Updated the I18N code so that calls to setlocate(LC_CTYPE, 0) are made |
| 2449 | (which is required by the newer libintl libraries). |
| 2450 | |

| 2452 | ------------------- |
| 2453 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a8e7724 | 2002-03-08 03:12:14 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2454 | Fixed various gcc -Wall complaints. |
| 2455 | |
Theodore Ts'o | afa14ba | 2002-03-05 03:31:06 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2456 | Fixed a few memory leaks in the e2fsck journaling code, and in the |
| 2457 | ismounted code checking for a swap device. |
| 2458 | |
| 2459 | Add new inode I/O abstraction interface which exports an inode as |
| 2460 | an I/O object. |
| 2461 | |
| 2462 | Exported ext2_file_flush as a public interface. |
| 2463 | |
| 2464 | In ext2_file_write, we now mark the buffer void * argument as a const, since ext2_file_write doesn't modify the buffer. |
| 2465 | |
| 2466 | Lots of small random portability fixes to make e2fsprogs build under |
| 2467 | AIX --- even without the 5L compatibility toolkit, and even using the |
| 2468 | uber-crippled AIX native C compiler. |
| 2469 | |

Theodore Ts'o | a5f3f5c | 2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2472 | ================================= |
Theodore Ts'o | cd1a79a | 2001-11-27 03:36:42 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2473 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 446314f | 2001-12-24 15:22:27 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2474 | Dumpe2fs will keep going now if the bad block inode can't be read. |
| 2475 | (Previously it stopped with a fatal error.) |
| 2476 | |
| 2477 | E2fsck will now give an opportunity to run the journal even if the |
| 2478 | recovery flag is not set. This is the default behaviour if e2fsck is |
| 2479 | using a backup superblock, since the needs_recovery flag will never be |
| 2480 | set in the backup superblock copies. |
| 2481 | |
| 2482 | E2fsck now automatically finds the backup superblock/group descriptors |
| 2483 | even when the primary superblock is completely destroyed for 2k and 4k |
| 2484 | filesystems. (Previously it just guessed/assumed that we were dealing |
| 2485 | with a 1k filesystem in that case, and users had to manually specify |
| 2486 | the backup superblock number.) |
| 2487 | |
| 2488 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck where it dereferences a null pointer when there |
| 2489 | is a problem opening a filesystem in preen mode. |
| 2490 | |
| 2491 | E2fsck now handles external journals correctly; previously it trashed |
| 2492 | the external journal device if the journal needed to be replayed. |
| 2493 | |
| 2494 | Work around ulimit incompatibility problem caused by recent 2.4 |
| 2495 | kernels; the unix IO module will automatically try to set any resource |
| 2496 | limits to be infinite on startup. |
| 2497 | |
Theodore Ts'o | cd1a79a | 2001-11-27 03:36:42 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2498 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck where it wasn't allocating a new block or inode |
| 2499 | bitmap if it wasn't present and the blocksize was 2k or 4k. |
Theodore Ts'o | 9c7ec17 | 2003-07-26 01:03:34 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2500 | (Addresses Debian Bug #116975) |
Theodore Ts'o | cd1a79a | 2001-11-27 03:36:42 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2501 | |
| 2502 | E2fsck will check and fix botched ext3 V1 to V2 superblock updates by |
| 2503 | clearing the new V2 fields if they do not make sense or if the ext3 |
| 2504 | superblock is version 1 superblock. |
| 2505 | |
| 2506 | E2fsck will automatically relocate the ext3 journal from a visible |
| 2507 | file (i.e., /.journal) to an hidden inode if the filesystem has been |
| 2508 | opened read/write. This allows the users to add a journal while the |
| 2509 | filesystem is mounted, but the next time the system is rebooted, the |
| 2510 | journal file will disappear. This avoids problems with backups, |
| 2511 | stupid operators with superuser bits, etc. |
| 2512 | |
| 2513 | Fix a bug in fsck where it would not support a filesystem type of |
| 2514 | "auto" if the device was specified in terms of LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx. |
| 2515 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a5f3f5c | 2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2516 | Fsck now supports fstab entries of the form "ext3,ext2". It will also |
| 2517 | automatically identify reiserfs filesystems. |
| 2518 | |
| 2519 | The number of processes spawned by fsck can now be limited using the |
| 2520 | FSCK_MAX_INST environment variable. |
| 2521 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 446314f | 2001-12-24 15:22:27 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2522 | Fsck now searchs the LVM proc hierarchy to find logical volumes which |
| 2523 | should be searched for UUID and label information. |
| 2524 | |
Theodore Ts'o | cd1a79a | 2001-11-27 03:36:42 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2525 | Work around a bug in 2.4.10+ kernels by trying to unset the filesize |
| 2526 | limit if at all possible, when opening a block device. (The filesize |
| 2527 | limit shouldn't be applied against writes to a block device.) |
| 2528 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 446314f | 2001-12-24 15:22:27 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2529 | In mke2fs and e2fsck, specifying the -c option twice will now do |
| 2530 | a read/write test on the disk. Update the man pages to encourage |
| 2531 | using the -c option, and to discouraging running badblocks separately, |
| 2532 | since users tend to forget to set the blocksize when running |
| 2533 | badblocks. |
| 2534 | |
Theodore Ts'o | cd1a79a | 2001-11-27 03:36:42 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2535 | Mke2fs now automatically clears the immutable attribute on a |
| 2536 | pre-existing .journal file left over from a previous failed attempt to |
| 2537 | add a journal to an alreadyy-mounted filesystem. |
| 2538 | |
| 2539 | Fixed mke2fs's exit codes to consistently indicate when the mke2fs |
| 2540 | operation failed. |
| 2541 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 446314f | 2001-12-24 15:22:27 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2542 | Mke2fs now creates the lost+found directory with permissions of 0700, |
| 2543 | so that files that had previously lived in protected directory are |
| 2544 | safe if they get dropped in lost+found and the system administrator |
| 2545 | doesn't deal with immediately. (Addresses Debian #bug 118443) |
| 2546 | |
| 2547 | Mke2fs and e2fsck (and all programs that use the |
| 2548 | ext2fs_check_if_mounted function) will now properly identify that a |
| 2549 | device is mounted, even in cases where devfs has confused things with |
| 2550 | multiple devices names with the same identity, or if a dim-witted |
| 2551 | system administrator has done something stupid like creating device |
| 2552 | file aliases in their home directory. Also now checks for swap devices |
| 2553 | by using /proc/swaps. (Addresses Debian bug #106622) |
| 2554 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a5f3f5c | 2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2555 | Added a new option (-T) to tune2fs which sets the time a filesystem |
| 2556 | was last checked. |
| 2557 | |
Theodore Ts'o | cd1a79a | 2001-11-27 03:36:42 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2558 | Speed up e2image when creating sparse raw image files by optimizing |
| 2559 | away excess lseek() system calls. |
| 2560 | |
| 2561 | Fix support of large (> 2GB) files when used as a filesystem in |
| 2562 | mke2fs, tune2fs, debugfs, and findsuper. |
| 2563 | |
| 2564 | Debugfs's stat and icheck commands now properly deals with large (> |
| 2565 | 2GB) files. |
| 2566 | |
| 2567 | Debugfs's set_super_value command now prints out the list of valid |
| 2568 | superblock fields which can be set using the command. |
| 2569 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 446314f | 2001-12-24 15:22:27 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2570 | Debugfs's rm and kill_file command now updates the superblock free block |
| 2571 | and inode counts, thus keeping the filesystem consistent. |
| 2572 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a5f3f5c | 2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2573 | Debugfs's lsdel command now takes an optional argument which allows |
| 2574 | the user to only see the most recently deleted files. |
| 2575 | |
| 2576 | A new command (undel) was added to debugfs which automates |
| 2577 | undeleting a deleted inode and linking it back to a directory. |
| 2578 | |
| 2579 | Debugfs's ls command now takes a new option, -d, which lists |
| 2580 | deleted directory entries. |
| 2581 | |
| 2582 | Debugfs's testb, freeb, setb, and find_free_block commands now take an |
| 2583 | optional count argument. |
| 2584 | |
Theodore Ts'o | cd1a79a | 2001-11-27 03:36:42 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2585 | Add support for a new ext2 file attribute, EXT2_NOTAIL_FL, which will |
| 2586 | be used to signal that a particular inode should not be eligible for |
| 2587 | tail-merging --- this is needed for programs like LILO. |
| 2588 | |
| 2589 | The findsuper (an unreleased, uninstalled utility program) has been |
| 2590 | improved to add extra validity checks and to add a progress meter. |
| 2591 | (It is still an unsupported program; the officially supported way to |
| 2592 | recover from a trashed partition table is to use gpart; findsuper is |
| 2593 | for wizards only. :-) |
| 2594 | |
| 2595 | Debugfs was fixed to compile with "configure --disable-swapfs". |
| 2596 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 446314f | 2001-12-24 15:22:27 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2597 | Cleaned up various manual pages. (Addresses Debian bug #119624, #120171) |
Theodore Ts'o | cd1a79a | 2001-11-27 03:36:42 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2598 | |
| 2599 | Added new translation file for Turkish. |
| 2600 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 446314f | 2001-12-24 15:22:27 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2601 | Programmer's notes: |
| 2602 | ------------------- |
| 2603 | |
| 2604 | Fix general gcc -Wall complaints. |
| 2605 | |
| 2606 | E2fsprogs (mostly) works with the dietlibc. |
| 2607 | |
| 2608 | The programming texinfo file has been expanded to include description |
| 2609 | of additional libext2fs functions. (Still not compeltely done, but a |
| 2610 | lot of the more important functions have been documented.) |
| 2611 | |
| 2612 | Added a umask structure to struct_ext2_filsys, which currently only |
| 2613 | modifies the behaviour of ext2fs_mkdir(), but if we add any file |
| 2614 | creation functions to libext2fs, we should also make sure they respect |
| 2615 | the umask setting. |
| 2616 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a5f3f5c | 2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2617 | The build-rpm script was fixed to be a bit more safe. |
| 2618 | |
| 2619 | The tests' Makefile now has a way of automating test case creation |
| 2620 | for e2fsck, using "make testnew". |
| 2621 | |
| 2622 | Created a new function, ext2fs_dir_iterate2 which passes more |
| 2623 | information to the callback function (identical to the one used by |
| 2624 | ext2fs_dblist_dir_iterate). The directory iterator functions take a |
| 2625 | new flag, DIRENT_FLAG_INCLUDE_REMOVED, which will return deleted |
| 2626 | directory entries. If the directory entry is deleted, the callback |
| 2627 | function will be called with the entry paraemter set to |
| 2628 | DIRENT_DELETED_FILE. |
| 2629 | |
| 2630 | Added new functions, ext2fs_inode_alloc_stats and |
| 2631 | ext2fs_block_alloc_stats, which takes updates block/inode allocation |
| 2632 | statistics in the bitmaps, block group descriptors, and superblock |
| 2633 | when inodes or blocks are allocated or deallocated. |
| 2634 | |

Theodore Ts'o | d08a4ce | 2001-09-20 09:47:42 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2636 | E2fsprogs 1.25 (September 20, 2001) |
| 2637 | =================================== |
| 2638 | |
| 2639 | This is primarily a bug-fix release; no new features were added, but |
| 2640 | there are a number of embarassing bug fixes and cleanups applied. |
| 2641 | |
| 2642 | Fix a bug mke2fs which causes stack garbage to be written to disk when |
| 2643 | zapping disk sectors. (This bug could cause mke2fs to core dump for |
| 2644 | some kernels, I suspect with security enhancement patches.) |
| 2645 | |
| 2646 | Remove unneeded #include of <linux/config.h> which was breaking |
| 2647 | building e2fsprogs on the Hurd. (Addresses Debian bug #112414.) |
| 2648 | |
| 2649 | Updated tune2fs man page to reflect the fact that adding or removing a |
| 2650 | journal doesn't require running e2fsck. |
| 2651 | |
| 2652 | Remove use of AC_REQUIRE from autoconf which had been used to prevent |
| 2653 | AC_CANONICAL_HOST from being called twice; unfortunately this causes |
| 2654 | recent autoconf to bomb out since they don't allow AC_REQUIRE to be |
| 2655 | used outside of autoconf macros. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be |
| 2656 | necessary any more, anyway. |
| 2657 | |
| 2658 | E2fsck will now not fall back to an alternate superblock if the user |
| 2659 | specifies the superblock location explicitly on the command-line. |
| 2660 | This allows easier recovery from a situation where the primary |
| 2661 | superblock and block groups are slightly corrupted, but the backup |
| 2662 | superblocks are completely broken. |
| 2663 | |
| 2664 | Fix problem which caused compile_et and mk_cmds to blow up if |
| 2665 | e2fsprogs was in a directory with a pathname that contained spaces. |
| 2666 | |
| 2667 | We are now more paranoid about checking the entry in /etc/mtab to make |
| 2668 | sure the filesystem is really mounted, since some broken distributions |
| 2669 | (read: Slackware) don't initialize /etc/mtab before checking non-root |
| 2670 | filesystems. (Slackware also doesn't check the root filesystem |
| 2671 | separately, and reboot if the root filesystem had changes applied to |
| 2672 | it, which is dangerous and broken, but there's nothing I can do about |
| 2673 | that.) |
| 2674 | |
| 2675 | Make UUID library C++ friendly by adding appropriate extern "C" |
| 2676 | declarations and using const in the function declarations. |
| 2677 | |
| 2678 | Fix up the com_err texinfo file so that it can product a valid info |
| 2679 | file (previously, it could only be used to generate paper |
| 2680 | documentation using texinfo.tex). |
| 2681 | |
| 2682 | |
Theodore Ts'o | fb70775 | 2001-09-04 15:00:37 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2683 | E2fsprogs 1.24a (September 2, 2001) |
| 2684 | =================================== |
| 2685 | |
| 2686 | Fix brown-paper bug in mke2fs which caused it to segfault when |
| 2687 | printing the version string. |
| 2688 | |
| 2689 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 109624a | 2001-08-31 00:59:55 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2690 | E2fsprogs 1.24 (August 30, 2001) |
| 2691 | ================================ |
| 2692 | |
| 2693 | Revert the BLKGETSIZE64 support, since for some distributions, this |
| 2694 | ioctl has been used by an unofficial kernel patch to update the last |
| 2695 | sector on the disk, and this was causing disk corruption problems as a |
| 2696 | result. |
| 2697 | |
| 2698 | Mke2fs is now more careful about zapping swap space signatures and |
| 2699 | other filesystem/raid superblock magic values so that programs like |
| 2700 | mount who try to use hueristics to determine the filesystem type of a |
| 2701 | partition are less likely to be confused. |
| 2702 | |
| 2703 | E2fsck will no longer complain if the the mode of EXT2_RESIZE_INO is a |
| 2704 | regular file (since Andreas Dilger's on-line resizing tools will set |
| 2705 | its mode bits). |
| 2706 | |
| 2707 | Fixed some minor texinfo, man pages nits for spelling errors, |
| 2708 | texinfo warnings, etc. (Addresses Debian bug #110621.) |
| 2709 | |
| 2710 | E2fsprogs program no longer print the filesystem version number |
| 2711 | (i.e. 0.5b), since it only confuses people and doesn't serve any real |
| 2712 | purpose. |
| 2713 | |
| 2714 | E2fsck will once again compile under libc5, since it will supply its |
| 2715 | own version of strnlen if necesssary. |
| 2716 | |
| 2717 | mke2fs and tune2fs will allow the use of UUID= or LABEL= specifiers |
| 2718 | when specifying the external journal device. tune2fs will also search |
| 2719 | devices looking for the externla journal debice when removing. |
| 2720 | |
| 2721 | E2fsprogs 1.23 (August 15, 2001) |
| 2722 | ================================ |
Theodore Ts'o | d1ef5c3 | 2001-07-20 12:35:11 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2723 | |
| 2724 | Add initial support for extended attributes (EA); e2fsck will |
Theodore Ts'o | 6c0a041 | 2001-07-23 00:23:52 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2725 | correctly handle a filesystem with EA's and check the EA blocks for |
| 2726 | corruptions. |
| 2727 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d494bba | 2001-08-09 06:14:42 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2728 | E2fsck's symlink sanity checking has been cleaned up. It now checks |
| 2729 | the i_size value of fast symlinks, and checks for immutable flags |
| 2730 | being set of symlinks, etc. |
| 2731 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c4ac9e1 | 2001-08-15 21:02:23 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2732 | E2fsck now offers to clear inodes which are special files that have a |
| 2733 | non-zero i_blocks or i_size field. (The i_size field check was in the |
| 2734 | previous version of the code, but due to a bug it didn't offer to |
| 2735 | clear the inode unless i_size and i_size_high were both non-zero.) |
| 2736 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d494bba | 2001-08-09 06:14:42 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2737 | E2image can now create "raw" image files, which only contain the |
| 2738 | filesystem metadata placed in a spare file so that e2fsck, dumpe2fs, |
| 2739 | debugfs, etc., can be run directly on the raw image file. |
Theodore Ts'o | bf16d10 | 2001-07-27 22:20:06 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2740 | |
| 2741 | Add support for the 64-bit block device patches. |
| 2742 | |
| 2743 | Fixed bugs in creating external journals with a 1k blocksize. |
| 2744 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d494bba | 2001-08-09 06:14:42 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2745 | Add initial support for external journals (so long as the external |
| 2746 | journal only supports a single filesystem) in e2fsck. |
| 2747 | |
| 2748 | Remove requirement for needing to run fsck on a filesystem after |
| 2749 | removing a journal (either internal or external). |
| 2750 | |
Theodore Ts'o | bf16d10 | 2001-07-27 22:20:06 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2751 | The man pages now document how to create and manage external journals. |

| 2753 | Speed up the check of an ext3 filesystems by avoiding a needless flush |
| 2754 | of all of the superblock and block group descriptors. |
| 2755 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d494bba | 2001-08-09 06:14:42 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2756 | Speed up creating an internal journal using tune2fs in the case where |
| 2757 | the filesystem has a lot blocks already allocated. |
| 2758 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c4ac9e1 | 2001-08-15 21:02:23 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2759 | Tune2fs has been fixed to make sure that only error messages go to |
| 2760 | stderr, and normal message go to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug #108555) |
| 2761 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d494bba | 2001-08-09 06:14:42 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2762 | Fixed a minor bug in mke2fs; if -O none is passed to mke2fs, it will |
Theodore Ts'o | c4ac9e1 | 2001-08-15 21:02:23 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2763 | now not set the sparse_super feature. (Addresses Debian bug #108165) |
Theodore Ts'o | d494bba | 2001-08-09 06:14:42 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2764 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d1ef5c3 | 2001-07-20 12:35:11 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2765 | Add support in fsck for the filesystem type "auto". |
| 2766 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c4ac9e1 | 2001-08-15 21:02:23 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2767 | Fsck -A will not try to interpret device names for filesystems which |
| 2768 | have a pass number is 0. (Addresses Debian bug #106696). |
| 2769 | |
| 2770 | Fsck prints a warning message if now valid filesystems are passed to |
| 2771 | it. (Addresses Debian Bug #107458.) |
| 2772 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 9249d98 | 2001-07-20 18:14:10 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2773 | E2fsck now gives an explicit warning if there filesystem still has |
| 2774 | errors at the end of the run. (Addresses Debian bug #104502) |
| 2775 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d494bba | 2001-08-09 06:14:42 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2776 | E2fsck will set the EXT2_ERROR_FS flag if the journal superblock |
Theodore Ts'o | c4ac9e1 | 2001-08-15 21:02:23 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2777 | reflects an error. E2fsck will also not run the orphan list if the |
| 2778 | filesystem contains errors, since the orphan list might be corrupted. |
Theodore Ts'o | d494bba | 2001-08-09 06:14:42 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2779 | |

| 2788 | ============================== |
| 2789 | |
| 2790 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck's handling of orphan inodes which are special |
| 2791 | files (i.e., block/character device files, named FIFO's, etc.). |
| 2792 | |
| 2793 | Fixed a bug accidentally introduced in e2fsprogs 1.21 which caused |
| 2794 | tune2fs to fail at adding a journal to a mounted filesystem. |
| 2795 | |
| 2796 | Fixed a few big-endian bugs in e2fsprogs |
| 2797 | * The directory block functions were accidentally reporting |
| 2798 | some directories as corrupted when they weren't. |
| 2799 | * If e2fsprogs is compiled --disable-swapfs, the C language |
| 2800 | equivalents weren't being included for big-endian platforms. |
| 2801 | (Fixes Debian bug #101686). |
| 2802 | |
| 2803 | Fixed a Hurd compilation problem. (Addresses Debian bug #101361) |
| 2804 | |
| 2805 | Programmer's notes: |
| 2806 | ------------------- |
| 2807 | |
| 2808 | Use platform independent method of defining the BLKFLSBUF and FDFLUSH |
| 2809 | ioctls, and allow them to be defined for non-i386 platforms. |
| 2810 | |
| 2811 | The uuid.h header file is now protected against multiple inclusions. |
| 2812 | |
| 2813 | E2fsprogs is now being developed using BitKeeper. Changed the test |
| 2814 | scripts to deal with BK's stripping CR characgters from text files, |
| 2815 | and changed the top-level Makefile.in to avoid including BitKeeper |
| 2816 | files when generating the source tarball. |
| 2817 | |
| 2818 | |
Theodore Ts'o | b90b826 | 2001-06-15 22:54:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2819 | E2fsprogs 1.21 (June 15, 2001) |
| 2820 | ============================== |
Theodore Ts'o | 767de09 | 2001-06-02 01:20:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2821 | |
Theodore Ts'o | b90b826 | 2001-06-15 22:54:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2822 | Added new configure flags which allow a subset e2fsprogs to be built; |
| 2823 | this is most useful for boot floopies, since the resulting shared |
| 2824 | libraries and programs are slimmed down by removing features that |
| 2825 | aren't necessary for a boot floppy. The new flags that were added |
| 2826 | are: --disable-swapfs, which removes support for byte swapping old |
| 2827 | legacy PPC/68k filesystems, --disable-debugfs, which removes support |
| 2828 | for debugfs from the libext2fs library, --disable-imager, which |
| 2829 | removes support for the e2image program, and --disable-resizer, which |
| 2830 | removes support for resize2fs. |
| 2831 | |
| 2832 | E2fsck now prints the number of mounts or days elapsed since the last |
| 2833 | check when e2fsck is forced to check an otherwise clean filesystem. |
| 2834 | |
| 2835 | Tune2fs now prints an informative message about how often a filesystem |
| 2836 | will be checked when adding a journal to the filesystem, to remind the |
| 2837 | user that he/she may want to adjust those parameters using tune2fs |
| 2838 | -c/-i. |
| 2839 | |
| 2840 | Worked around hurd brain-damage which causes e2fsck to sometimes |
| 2841 | believe a filesystem is the root filesystem based on device numbers |
| 2842 | (since Hurd doesn't have dev_t's, which is arguably a POSIX.1 |
| 2843 | violation). |
| 2844 | |
| 2845 | Fixed a bug introduced in 1.20 which caused e2fsck to abort with an |
| 2846 | erroneous error with the -F option was specified. |
| 2847 | |
| 2848 | Fixed a ext3 recovery bug in the revoke handling; synchronized with |
Theodore Ts'o | c05b552 | 2001-06-08 12:03:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2849 | ext3 0.7a. |
| 2850 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 767de09 | 2001-06-02 01:20:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2851 | Fixed two bugs in e2fsck's handling of dup block handling, dealing |
| 2852 | with relatively uncommon edge cases: a directory with an indirect |
| 2853 | block which is claimed by another file, and when the last inode in the |
| 2854 | filesystem has blocks claimed by another file. |
| 2855 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 5a9c036 | 2001-06-02 04:55:57 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2856 | E2fsck now checks to see if the i_size field of a fast symlink is too |
| 2857 | big, and offers to clear the symlink if so. |
| 2858 | |
| 2859 | E2fsck now checks to see if i_size_high of special files is non-zero, |
| 2860 | and offers to clear i_size_high. |
| 2861 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 767de09 | 2001-06-02 01:20:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2862 | Fix e2fsck's handling of incompatible journal flags so that the user |
| 2863 | has chance to abort, and then has the option to clear out the journal |
Theodore Ts'o | e333845 | 2001-06-14 07:11:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2864 | entirely. (Addresses Debian bug #98527.) |
Theodore Ts'o | 767de09 | 2001-06-02 01:20:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2865 | |
Theodore Ts'o | b90b826 | 2001-06-15 22:54:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2866 | Fixed a bug in fsck which could cause it to core dump if a mix of |
| 2867 | standard and non-standard device names are used in /etc/fstab. |
| 2868 | (Debian bug #100559) |
| 2869 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c05b552 | 2001-06-08 12:03:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2870 | Fixed a bug in debugfs which caused read errors when copying a file to |
| 2871 | not be noticed. |
| 2872 | |
Theodore Ts'o | b90b826 | 2001-06-15 22:54:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2873 | The debugfs set_super_value command can now modify the s_lastcheck field. |
| 2874 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c05b552 | 2001-06-08 12:03:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2875 | Fixed a bug in lsattr and chattr which was accidentally introduced in |
| 2876 | 1.20 to support > 2GB files; both lsattr and chattr wasn't reading |
| 2877 | directories correctly because the change modified the layout of struct |
| 2878 | dirent to be incompatible with the libe2p shared library. |
| 2879 | |
Theodore Ts'o | b90b826 | 2001-06-15 22:54:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2880 | Cleaned up the mke2fs manual page and included a discussion about why |
| 2881 | it's good to periodically check the filesystem even when journaling is |
| 2882 | enabled. |
| 2883 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 767de09 | 2001-06-02 01:20:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2884 | Programmer's notes: |
| 2885 | ------------------- |
| 2886 | |
| 2887 | Fix general gcc -Wall complaints. |
| 2888 | |
| 2889 | The types needed by the ext2 header files are now provided by |
| 2890 | lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h, instead of include/asm/types.h. |
| 2891 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c05b552 | 2001-06-08 12:03:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2892 | Integers are now preferred to longs when trying to find a 32-bit type |
Theodore Ts'o | b90b826 | 2001-06-15 22:54:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2893 | in ext2_types.h. Also, if linux/types.h has already been defined, |
| 2894 | don't try to redefine the types. |
Theodore Ts'o | c05b552 | 2001-06-08 12:03:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2895 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 767de09 | 2001-06-02 01:20:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2896 | Fixed make depend script so that it automatically corrects the |
| 2897 | pathname cleanups performed by make -M, so I don't have to fix them up |
| 2898 | by hand. |
| 2899 | |
| 2900 | Fixed the d_loaddump test case to be more robust, and not depend on |
| 2901 | bash'isms. |
| 2902 | |
| 2903 | Removed debugfs's dependence on pread(), which was accidentally |
| 2904 | intrudced in e2fsprogs 1.20 |
| 2905 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c05b552 | 2001-06-08 12:03:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2906 | Fixed a performance bug in the libext2fs's icount routine; the size |
| 2907 | estimate of the icount array was incorrectly being calculated. |
| 2908 | |
Theodore Ts'o | b90b826 | 2001-06-15 22:54:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2909 | Removed use of the badblocks compatibility functions in the e2fsprogs |
| 2910 | programs. |
| 2911 | |
| 2912 | Added paranoia code which protects against strange cases where /etc |
| 2913 | isn't on the root filesystem, or if /etc/mtab doesn't exist. |
| 2914 | |
| 2915 | The header file ext2_types.h is now installed. |
| 2916 | |
| 2917 | Autoconf is used to determine when we are on big-endian machines, |
| 2918 | instead of doing run-time tests, to save a few bytes of code. |
| 2919 | |
| 2920 | The ext2fs_mark_generic_bitmap and ext2fs_unmark_generic_bitmap |
| 2921 | functions are no longer inline functions, which saves space and |
| 2922 | doesn't really cost any real performance. |
| 2923 | |
| 2924 | The ext2fs library no longer depends on the e2p library. (What need |
| 2925 | there was of it --- namely, fsetflags, was coded in-line). |
| 2926 | |
| 2927 | Fixed the makefile so that lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h is generated even |
| 2928 | when the user is stupid and tries compiling the package using "make |
| 2929 | install" as root. |
| 2930 | |
| 2931 | Miscellaneous code cleanups: |
| 2932 | * Added missing files from Makefile.in's SRCS file, so that |
| 2933 | their dependencies would be properly calculated. |
| 2934 | * Removed redundant code |
| 2935 | * Fixed comments in code |
| 2936 | * Removed no-longer unneeded argsused #pragma. |

Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2940 | ============================= |
Theodore Ts'o | 5570a65 | 2000-08-21 01:23:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2941 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2942 | Add support for replaying the ext3 journal purely in user mode, |
| 2943 | including handling the orphaned inode list. Used code contributed by |
| 2944 | Andreas Dilger, with bug fixes and the orphaned inode handling done |
| 2945 | by Theodore Ts'o. |
| 2946 | |
| 2947 | The mke2fs and tune2fs programs can create or modify a filesystem to |
| 2948 | include an ext3 journal. Tune2fs also can be used to remove an ext3 |
| 2949 | journal from a filesystem. |
Theodore Ts'o | 5570a65 | 2000-08-21 01:23:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2950 | |
| 2951 | E2fsck will now check for the existence of a linked list of orphan |
| 2952 | inodes in the superblock, and clear those inodes before starting the |
| 2953 | rest of the filesystem check (but after the journal playback). |
| 2954 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2955 | E2fsck now validates the file descriptor passed to the -C option, |
| 2956 | which saves against the completion bar getting written to an |
| 2957 | unexpected location, such as the disk being checked. (Debian |
| 2958 | bug/wishlist #55220) |
| 2959 | |
| 2960 | E2fsck will now bump the filesystem revision number from zero to one |
| 2961 | if any of the compatibility bits are set. |
| 2962 | |
| 2963 | Fixed a bug where a badly corrupted directory on a big endian system |
| 2964 | could cause e2fsck to die with a bus error. The |
| 2965 | ext2fs_read_dir_block() and ext2fs_process_dir_block() functions in |
| 2966 | the ext2 library now does alignment sanity checks on the rec_len field |
| 2967 | of the directory entry before using it. |
| 2968 | |
| 2969 | The ext2 library has been enhanced to make tune2fs safe to run on |
| 2970 | mounted filesystems. (Users could usually get away with using tune2fs |
| 2971 | on mounted filesystems before, but with the advent of ext3 and |
| 2972 | journaling, it became important to make tune2fs was *really* safe for |
| 2973 | use even when the filesystem being modified is mounted.) E2label is |
| 2974 | now implemented by tune2fs using an argv[0] dispatch, so that e2label |
| 2975 | is also now safe for use on mounted filesystems. |
| 2976 | |
| 2977 | Added a new program, e2image, which creates a backup of critical ext2 |
| 2978 | filesystem data structures. The generated image file can be examined |
| 2979 | using dumpe2fs and debugfs. In the future, e2fsck will be able to use |
| 2980 | the image file to help recover very badly damaged filesystems. |
| 2981 | |
| 2982 | Fixed a number of LFS bugs in e2fsck; very, very large (> 2**42) files |
| 2983 | no longer cause e2fsck to bomb out. Also treat files > 2GB as being |
| 2984 | large file when deciding whether or not the filesystem has large files. |
| 2985 | |
| 2986 | Fixed lsattr and chattr so that they work correctly on large files. |
| 2987 | (Fixes Debian bug #72690.) |
| 2988 | |
| 2989 | Removed limitation in get_device_size() which imposed a one terrabyte |
| 2990 | filesystem limitation. (Most 2.2 kernels still have a signed int |
| 2991 | problem which cause 1 TB block device limitation. Fortunately, the |
| 2992 | kernel patches to fix this are much easier than fixing the 2TB |
| 2993 | limitation in the kernel. :-) |
| 2994 | |
| 2995 | A max_mount_count of zero is now treated as if no mount count were |
| 2996 | set. (Previously, no mount count was indicated by using -1, and a |
| 2997 | mount count of zero caused e2fsck to always be run.) |
| 2998 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 7764856 | 2001-05-14 13:04:44 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2999 | Mke2fs supports two new filesystem types largefile and largefile4. |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3000 | |
| 3001 | Mke2fs now adds some randomness in s_max_mount_count so that multiple |
| 3002 | filesystems won't be all checked at the same time under normal |
| 3003 | operations. |
| 3004 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 5570a65 | 2000-08-21 01:23:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3005 | Fixed bug in the progress bar printing code which could cause e2fsck |
| 3006 | to core dump on an illegal filesystem. |
| 3007 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3008 | Fixed bug in fsck which could allow more than one instance of e2fsck |
| 3009 | to be printing a progress bar. (Debian bug #65267) |
| 3010 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 5570a65 | 2000-08-21 01:23:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3011 | Fsck using a UUID or a LABEL specifier will work even if devfs is |
| 3012 | compiled into the kernel and not mounted. If the pathnames in |
| 3013 | /proc/partitions are incorrect, fsck will search /dev for the correct |
| 3014 | device (using the new ext2fs_find_block_device library function). |
| 3015 | Fsck now also checks the RAID devices first so that they are properly |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3016 | found when they are in use. Support has also been added to support |
| 3017 | additional IDE disks and the DAC 960 device names. (Debian bug #94159) |
| 3018 | |
| 3019 | Fixed a bug in fsck which caused it not deal properly with 16 |
| 3020 | byte long filesystem labels. |
Theodore Ts'o | 5570a65 | 2000-08-21 01:23:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3021 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 5a009bb | 2001-05-21 05:27:45 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3022 | Fsck's -t option has been made a lot more flexible. The semantics for |
| 3023 | what happens if a comma-separated list to fsck has been regularized, |
| 3024 | and it is now possible to filter what filesystems will get checked |
| 3025 | based what is in the filesystem's fstab entry's option field. (Debian |
| 3026 | bug #89483.) |
| 3027 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 5570a65 | 2000-08-21 01:23:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3028 | The dumpe2fs program can now print out the group description |
| 3029 | information in hex, and also prints the location of the superblock and |
| 3030 | block group descriptor for those block groups that have them. |
| 3031 | |
| 3032 | Mke2fs now clears the ext2 superblock before it starts creating a |
| 3033 | filesystem, so that the superblock magic number is only written if the |
| 3034 | filesystem creation process successfully completes. |
| 3035 | |
| 3036 | The debugfs program's stat command now pretty-prints the blocks used |
| 3037 | by an inode so that it's more compact and informative. |
| 3038 | |
| 3039 | The debugfs stats command now uses the same libe2p code (which is used |
| 3040 | by dumpe2fs) to print the superblock header information. This is more |
| 3041 | complete, and it avoids a bit of code duplication. |
| 3042 | |
| 3043 | Added a new debugfs command, set_super_value (ssv) which allows the |
| 3044 | user to set arbitrary superblock fields. |
| 3045 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3046 | Debugfs was extended to support inode numbers in hex (by prefixing |
| 3047 | them with 0x), and so that modify_inode can set the inode generation |
| 3048 | number. Also, there is now a new function command called logdump |
| 3049 | which will dump an ext3 journal. |
| 3050 | |
| 3051 | Fixed a bug in debugfs so that quitting out of the pager doesn't kill |
| 3052 | debugfs. |
| 3053 | |
| 3054 | Debugfs's dump command now stops immediately upon reporting a disk |
| 3055 | read error. (Fixed a bug in ext2fs_file_read library routine which |
| 3056 | caused debugfs not to stop.) (Debian bug #79163) |
| 3057 | |
| 3058 | On systems with /proc/mounts (mainly Linux systems), /proc/mounts is |
| 3059 | checked before /etc/mtab is used, since /proc/mounts is more likely to |
| 3060 | be accurate. |
| 3061 | |
| 3062 | Added portability fixes for Solaris and Linux/ia64. |
| 3063 | |
| 3064 | Various manual pages were clarified and cleaned up. (Fixed debian |
| 3065 | bugs #63442, #67446, and #87216) |
| 3066 | |

| 3068 | Programmer's notes: |
| 3069 | ------------------- |
| 3070 | |
| 3071 | The e2fsck message printer now supports %Iu and %Ig, which will print |
| 3072 | out the inode's user and group owners, respectively. |
| 3073 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3074 | E2fsprogs now includes its own version of include/linux/ext2_fs.h, so |
| 3075 | that no longer dependent on the system having the correct version of |
| 3076 | the kernel header files. |
| 3077 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 5570a65 | 2000-08-21 01:23:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3078 | Added a new function to libext2, ext2fs_find_block_device(), which |
| 3079 | searches the system (i.e., /dev, /devfs, /devices) for a pathname to a |
| 3080 | device given its device number. |
| 3081 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3082 | Added a new function to libext2, ext2fs_sync_device, which centralizes |
| 3083 | all of the places which might try to use the BLKFLSBUF or FDFLUSH |
| 3084 | ioctls (and usually failing to define them since the system header |
| 3085 | files don't usually do this for us, and we're trying to avoid usage of |
| 3086 | kernel include files now). |
| 3087 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 5570a65 | 2000-08-21 01:23:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3088 | Added new utility programs in tests/progs: random_exercise and |
| 3089 | hold_inode. They aren't built by default; they're useful for |
| 3090 | exercising ext3 filesystem code. |
| 3091 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3092 | Added a new ext2 filesystem flag, EXT2_FLAG_SUPER_ONLY, which causes |
| 3093 | the filesystem close functions to only update the superblock, and to |
| 3094 | not touch the block group descriptors. Needed by tune2fs when |
| 3095 | modifying a mounted filesystem. |
| 3096 | |
| 3097 | Got rid of struct ext2fs_sb and replaced it with the standard struct |
| 3098 | ext2_super_block from include/linux/ext2_fs.h. Note: this may break |
| 3099 | source (but not binary) compatibility of some users of the ext2 |
| 3100 | library. Those applications should just simply do a global search and |
Theodore Ts'o | 7d614e3 | 2001-06-13 23:49:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3101 | replace of struct ext2fs_sb with struct ext2_super_block, and include |
| 3102 | the new header file <ext2fs/ext2_fs.h> which defines it. |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3103 | |
| 3104 | The ino_t type has been renamed ext2_ino_t to protect applications |
| 3105 | that attempt to compile -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, since this |
| 3106 | inexplicably changes ino_t(!?). So we use ext2_ino_t to avoid an |
| 3107 | unexpected ABI change. |
| 3108 | |
| 3109 | The Makefiles have been reworked so that "make check" can be run from |
| 3110 | the top-level Makefile. |
| 3111 | |
| 3112 | Fix general gcc -Wall complaints and removed dead code. |
| 3113 | |
| 3114 | Remove use of NOARGS, because we assume everyone does ANSI C these |
| 3115 | days. |
| 3116 | |
| 3117 | Added build-rpm script from sct. |
| 3118 | |
| 3119 | New functions ext2fs_image_{inode,super,bitmap}_{read,write} added |
| 3120 | to support e2image. |
| 3121 | |
| 3122 | New function ext2fs_flush_icache which must be called if the |
| 3123 | application program modifies the inode table blocks without going |
| 3124 | through ext2fs_write_inode() interface. |
| 3125 | |
| 3126 | New ext2fs_check_mount_point() function, which will return the mount |
| 3127 | point of a device if mounted. |
| 3128 | |
| 3129 | The io_channel abstraction now has an optional interface, |
| 3130 | io_channel_write_range, which allows specific byte ranges to be |
| 3131 | written. |
| 3132 | |
| 3133 | The unix_io IO channel now supports write-through caching, so that |
| 3134 | journal creation is more efficient. |
| 3135 | |
| 3136 | Added x86 assembly language routines to support byte swapping, to |
| 3137 | reduce executable size. |
| 3138 | |
| 3139 | Fixed bug in the utility program subst so that it's possible to |
| 3140 | replace a substitution variable with a zero-length string. |
| 3141 | |
| 3142 | Fixed numbering e2fsck pass1 problem numbers; an extra zero had |
| 3143 | slipped into some of the problem number. |

Theodore Ts'o | b777e26 | 2000-07-27 01:39:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3145 | E2fsprogs 1.19 (July 13, 2000) |
| 3146 | ============================== |
Theodore Ts'o | ab14676 | 2000-07-07 04:37:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3147 | |
| 3148 | Release the resize2fs program since the timeout before it could |
Theodore Ts'o | 006ea71 | 2000-08-21 03:39:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3149 | be released under the GPL has finally expired. |
Theodore Ts'o | ab14676 | 2000-07-07 04:37:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3150 | |
| 3151 | Add experimental support needed for the ext2 compression patches. |
| 3152 | This requires compiling e2fsprogs with the --enable-compression flag |
| 3153 | to the configure script. |
| 3154 | |
| 3155 | Added ext3 journalling support. E2fsck will run the journal (if |
| 3156 | necessary) by temporarily mounting the filesystem. /sbin/fsck.ext3 is |
| 3157 | installed as a symlink to e2fsck. Fsck has been taught about ext3, |
| 3158 | and treats it the same as ext2 in terms of the progress bar logic. |
| 3159 | Dumpe2fs will display the superblock journaling information if the |
| 3160 | filesystem has a journal. The ext2 library will now permit opening an |
| 3161 | ext3 filesystem with the recovery flag set. This is necessary for |
| 3162 | on-line dump's to work correctly, but there may be issues with this |
| 3163 | working well since ext3 is much less agressive about syncing blocks to |
| 3164 | the filesystem, since they're safe on the journal. |
| 3165 | |
| 3166 | Tune2fs and e2fsck have been changed to allow the mount_count check to |
| 3167 | be disabled by setting max_mount_count to -1. (This was already |
| 3168 | supported by the kernel.) |
| 3169 | |
| 3170 | Create a symbolic link for fsck.ext3, since the e2fsprogs utilities |
| 3171 | are used for ext3 as well. |
| 3172 | |
| 3173 | Added internationalization support for e2fsprogs; must be enabled |
| 3174 | by passing --enable-nls to configure. |
| 3175 | |
| 3176 | Always use the provided ext2fs header files to insulate ourselves from |
| 3177 | kernel version changes. Which include files are used by e2fsprogs |
| 3178 | have also been cleaned up to improve portability. |
| 3179 | |
| 3180 | Limit the number of times that e2fsck updates the progress bar so that |
| 3181 | people who are booting using a 9600 baud console don't get swampped by |
| 3182 | too many updates. |
| 3183 | |
| 3184 | Improved the loop detection algorithm in e2sck's pass #3 so that it is |
| 3185 | much, much faster for large filesystems with a large number of |
| 3186 | directories. |
| 3187 | |
| 3188 | The memory footprint for e2fsck is now slightly smaller than before. |
| 3189 | |
| 3190 | E2fsck now checks if special devices have a non-zero size, and offers |
| 3191 | to clear the size field if it finds such an inode. |
| 3192 | |
| 3193 | E2fsck now checks if special devices have the append-only flag set, |
| 3194 | and offers to clear the inode. |
| 3195 | |
| 3196 | E2fsck now properly handles some "should never fail" cases during a |
| 3197 | bitmap copy in pass5. |
| 3198 | |
| 3199 | E2fsck now properly prints control characters in filenames as ^A .. ^Z. |
| 3200 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3201 | E2fsck now calculates the correct location of the backup superblock in |
| 3202 | the case of filesystem blocksizes > 1k. |
| 3203 | |
| 3204 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck's calculation of the number of inodes_per_block |
| 3205 | which normally didn't cause problems under most filesystem parameters, |
| 3206 | but could cause a valid superblock to be rejected in extreme cases. |
| 3207 | Other checks for validating superblock values were made more |
| 3208 | stringent. |
| 3209 | |
Theodore Ts'o | ab14676 | 2000-07-07 04:37:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3210 | Added non-destructive write testing to the badblocks program, courtesy |
| 3211 | of David Beattie. The badblocks also now has an option to input the |
| 3212 | current set of bad blocks, so that known bad blocks are skipped to |
| 3213 | speed up the badblocks test. There is also a persistent rescan |
Theodore Ts'o | 006ea71 | 2000-08-21 03:39:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3214 | feature which causes badblocks to run until it has completed some |
| 3215 | number of passes without discovering any new bad blocks. |
Theodore Ts'o | ab14676 | 2000-07-07 04:37:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3216 | |
| 3217 | Badblocks now checks to see if the device is mounted and refuses to do |
| 3218 | the tests involving writing to the device if it is mounted. Also, |
| 3219 | badblocks now allows the number of blocks to be checked to be |
| 3220 | defaulted to the size of the partition. |
| 3221 | |
| 3222 | Fixed a bug in fsck which didn't allow non-root users to be able to |
| 3223 | check filesystems if there were any LABEL= or UUID= entries in |
| 3224 | /etc/fstab. |
| 3225 | |
| 3226 | The Hurd doesn't support the filetype filesystem feature. The mke2fs |
| 3227 | program now makes sure that for the Hurd, the filestype feature is |
| 3228 | turned off. E2fsck will check to see if the filetype feature is |
| 3229 | turned on for Hurd filesystems, and offer to turn off the feature. |
| 3230 | |
| 3231 | Mke2fs now has a safety check to make sure the number of blocks do not |
| 3232 | exceed 32 bits even on a 64 bit platform. |
| 3233 | |
| 3234 | Really fixed a bug in fsck to allow "fsck -As" to run interactive |
| 3235 | fsck's. (For those people who like to do interactive fsck's in the |
| 3236 | /etc/rc scripts!?!) |
| 3237 | |
| 3238 | Debugfs has a few new features: the rdump command, which will do a |
| 3239 | recursive dump of a directory and all of its contents, and the lcd |
| 3240 | command which does a local chdir (much like the ftp command of the |
| 3241 | same name). In addition, the debugfs program and the open_filesystem |
| 3242 | command now takes three new options: -b and -s, which allows the |
| 3243 | blocksize and superblock location to be specified, and the -c option |
| 3244 | which is used in catastrophic situations where the block group |
| 3245 | descriptors are corrupt. If the -c option is specified, debugfs will |
| 3246 | skip trying to read in the block and inode bitmaps. |
| 3247 | |
| 3248 | Debufs's lsdel command was fixed to handle bad blocks in the inode |
| 3249 | table. |
| 3250 | |
| 3251 | A Y2K bug in debugfs's "ls -l" handling was fixed by switching to use |
| 3252 | 4 digit years. |
| 3253 | |
| 3254 | General improvements in error messages |
| 3255 | |
| 3256 | - Mke2fs prints a sane error message if the partition size is zero |
| 3257 | (usually because the partition table wasn't reread by the |
| 3258 | kernel due to the partition being busy), instead of "invalid |
| 3259 | argument passed to ext2 library while initializing superblock". |
| 3260 | |
| 3261 | - Fsck now prints more self-explanatory message if an invalid UUID= |
| 3262 | or LABEL= specification is passed to it. |
| 3263 | |
| 3264 | UUID library changed to use the LGPL. |
| 3265 | |
| 3266 | Fixed a bug in the UUID library where very rapid calls to the |
| 3267 | time-based UUID generator could cause duplicate UUID's to be returned. |
| 3268 | This was not a problem for e2fsprogs, but it could be a problem for |
| 3269 | other users of the library. |
| 3270 | |
| 3271 | Make the UUID library more robust in the face of missing or an |
| 3272 | improper /dev/urandom or /dev/random files. |
| 3273 | |
| 3274 | Added some random portability fixes for Solaris. |
| 3275 | |
| 3276 | Some minor man page updates. |
| 3277 | |
| 3278 | Fixed a memory leak in the ss library. |
| 3279 | |
| 3280 | |
| 3281 | Programmer's notes: |
| 3282 | ------------------- |
| 3283 | |
| 3284 | We now try to use lseek64 and open64 from the LFS if possible. |
| 3285 | |
| 3286 | The 3rd parameter in e2p's print_flags is now a flags word, instead of |
| 3287 | a boolean option. |
| 3288 | |
| 3289 | The mark and unmark bitmap functions now return the previous state of |
| 3290 | the bit that was being changed, which is useful for some speed |
| 3291 | optimizations. |
| 3292 | |
| 3293 | The following functions have been added to enhance the badblocks list |
| 3294 | handling in libext2fs: ext2fs_write_bb_FILE, ext2fs_read_bb_FILE2, and |
| 3295 | ext2fs_badblocks_equal. |
| 3296 | |
| 3297 | The ext2 header files now have the latest journalling fields to the |
| 3298 | superblock. |
| 3299 | |
| 3300 | The ext2fs_mkdir function in libext2fs now properly backs out of error |
| 3301 | conditions robustly. |
| 3302 | |
| 3303 | Cleaned up makefiles: |
| 3304 | - to cleanly compile with the -j flag. |
| 3305 | - so distclean removes all generated files. |
| 3306 | - so in case of an error while installing header files, the make aborts. |
| 3307 | |
| 3308 | Fix test_script so that it works correctly when compiling in the |
| 3309 | source directory. |
| 3310 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3311 | The random UUID generation routine has been made slightly better in |
| 3312 | the case where /dev/random doesn't exist. (Use of randomly-based UUID |
| 3313 | is still not recommended if /dev/random doesn't exist, however; it's |
| 3314 | better to use the time/ethernet MAC address UUID in this case.) |
Theodore Ts'o | ab14676 | 2000-07-07 04:37:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3315 | |
| 3316 | Clean up the build process so it's more friendly in case of missing |
| 3317 | directories. |
| 3318 | |
| 3319 | The ext2fs header file can now be #include'd into C++ programs. |
| 3320 | |
| 3321 | The e2p.h header file is now installed. |
| 3322 | |
| 3323 | Added workaround to a gawk 3.0.5 bug in lib/ss/mk_cmds. |
| 3324 | |
| 3325 | |
| 3326 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 24ded09 | 1999-11-10 15:56:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3327 | E2fsprogs 1.18 (November 10, 1999) |
| 3328 | ================================== |
| 3329 | |
| 3330 | Fix a core dumping bug in e2fsck if an imagic inode is present or |
| 3331 | (more rarely) if the filesystem is badly corrupted enough that e2fsck |
| 3332 | has to restart pass 1 processing. E2fsck now closes the filesystem |
| 3333 | before freeing a large number of its data structures, so in the case |
| 3334 | of future memory faults, at least the fixed filesystem will be fully |
| 3335 | written out. |
| 3336 | |
| 3337 | If a filesystem doesn't support imagic inodes, and e2fsck discovers an |
| 3338 | imagic inode, it will offer to clear the imagic flag. |
| 3339 | |
| 3340 | E2fsck will now offer to clear the immutable flag on special files |
| 3341 | (device/socket/fifos) when running it in non-preen mode. |
| 3342 | |
| 3343 | E2fsck will now set the filetype when creating /lost+found, and when |
| 3344 | connected orphaned inodes to /lost+found. |
| 3345 | |
| 3346 | Debugfs's ncheck and icheck commands now handles the case where there |
| 3347 | are bad blocks in the inode table without bombing out. |
| 3348 | |
| 3349 | The badblocks list processing code has been made more efficiently for |
| 3350 | appending a large number of (ordered) badblocks to the badblocks list. |
| 3351 | |
| 3352 | Some minor man page updates. |
| 3353 | |
| 3354 | Fsck now allows interactive e2fsck's when using fsck -As (not a common |
| 3355 | mode, but some people like to do this in boot scripts for silly reasons). |
| 3356 | |
| 3357 | Programmer's notes: |
| 3358 | ------------------- |
| 3359 | |
| 3360 | The internal e2fsck problem code for PR_2_SPLIT_DOT was fixed to meet |
| 3361 | with the problem code convention. |
| 3362 | |
| 3363 | The badblocks list regression test program has been updated to work |
| 3364 | with previously made API name changes. |
| 3365 | |
| 3366 | The ext2fs_free() command now uses the new badblocks API to avoid |
| 3367 | using the compatibility layer. |
| 3368 | |
| 3369 | Added new regression test cases; the run_e2fsck test script now |
| 3370 | supports the ability for a test case to run a prepratory command |
| 3371 | before running e2fsck. |
| 3372 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 28e1194 | 1999-10-26 18:17:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3373 | E2fsprogs 1.17 (October 26, 1999) |
| 3374 | ================================= |
| 3375 | |
| 3376 | Fixed nasty typo in fsck which caused parallelized fsck's to go into an |
| 3377 | infinite loop. |
| 3378 | |
| 3379 | Fixed a bug in fsck where it used strncmp to compare a binary UUID, |
| 3380 | thus potentially causing problems if a binary UUID contained a NULL |
| 3381 | character. |
| 3382 | |
| 3383 | E2fsck now uses stricter checks for directory entries in pass 2: |
| 3384 | zero-length filenames are not allowed; neither are 8 byte long |
| 3385 | directory entries. |
| 3386 | |
| 3387 | The debugfs "dirty" command now clears the filesystem valid bit. |
| 3388 | (Previously this just set the dirty-as-in-needs-writing-out-to-disk |
| 3389 | bit in the in-core superblock image. The new functionality is more |
| 3390 | what the user expects, and is more useful.) |
| 3391 | |
| 3392 | Added a debugging hook to test parallel fsck; if the environment |
| 3393 | variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL, then filesystems on the same drive |
| 3394 | will be checked in parallel when they normally would not be. |
| 3395 | |
| 3396 | Programmer's notes: |

Theodore Ts'o | 8a31ffe | 1999-10-23 03:33:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3406 | E2fsprogs 1.16 (October 22, 1999) |
| 3407 | ================================= |
| 3408 | |
| 3409 | Fixed a race condition bug in fsck; when printing a progress bar, if |
| 3410 | checking multiple filesystems in parallel, it was possible for fsck to |
| 3411 | send e2fsck a SIGUSR1 signal before e2fsck had installed its signal |
| 3412 | handler, which would cause it to terminate with a signal 10. |
| 3413 | |
| 3414 | E2fsck now properly handles filesystems that have the |
| 3415 | INCOMPAT_FILETYPE feature turned on. It can be used to convert a |
| 3416 | filesystem into using or not using FILETYPE feature. |
| 3417 | |
| 3418 | E2fsck now properly handles filesystems that have the IMAGIC feature |
| 3419 | turned on (this is used on Linux AFS servers). |
| 3420 | |
| 3421 | The mke2fs program now creates filesystems that have the filetype and |
| 3422 | sparse_superblock features enabled by default, unless it is run on a |
| 3423 | pre-2.2 kernel. These features are not supported by a pre-2.2 kernel, |
| 3424 | so there is now a new flag -O which allows the user to specify with |
| 3425 | which features she would like to create the filesystem; "mke2fs -O |
| 3426 | none" will create a filesystsem compatible with 2.0 kernels. |
| 3427 | |
| 3428 | The tune2fs program now has a -O option which allows the user to set |
| 3429 | and reset "safe" filesystem features. Currently, the only ones which |
| 3430 | allows to be modified are the filetype and sparse_superblock features. |
| 3431 | Note setting or clearing either feature will require running e2fsck on |
| 3432 | the filesystem afterwards. (n.b. Clearing the sparse_superblock feature |
| 3433 | requires that there is enough free space on the filesystem for the |
| 3434 | extra superblocks which will be created by e2fsck.) |
| 3435 | |
| 3436 | Debugfs can now set and print filesystem features in the superblock |
| 3437 | using the "features" command. Dumpe2fs will print out the complete |
| 3438 | set of features when listing the superblock. |
| 3439 | |
| 3440 | Dumpe2fs has new options -f (force) and -h (header-only). |
| 3441 | |
| 3442 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could cause the PROGRAMMING ERROR/bonehead |
| 3443 | message to come up. This could happen when decrementing or |
| 3444 | incrementing a link count could result in an overflow. |
| 3445 | |
| 3446 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck where the block count on the lost+found |
| 3447 | directory would not be properly incremented when the directory was |
| 3448 | expanded to the point where an indirect block needed to be allocated. |
| 3449 | |
| 3450 | E2fsck now makes some additional sanity checks on the superblock to |
| 3451 | avoid crashing or giving a memory allocation error if some of the |
| 3452 | values in the superblock are unresonable (but the superblock otherwise |
| 3453 | looks valid). |
| 3454 | |
| 3455 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck where a very badly corrupted filesystem might |
| 3456 | require two passes to completely fix the filesystem. This happened if |
| 3457 | an inode claimed blocks that was part of the filesystem metadata |
| 3458 | (typically, when garbage was written into an inode table or indirect |
| 3459 | block, since this kind of filesystem corruption normally doesn't |
| 3460 | happen otherwise). |
| 3461 | |
| 3462 | On the Alpha, glibc declares st_flags although it isn't actually used; |
| 3463 | the configure script was improved to detect this case so that |
| 3464 | e2fsprogs can avoid using the non-functional stat field. |
| 3465 | |
| 3466 | The manual pages were updated to use a more consistent formatting |
| 3467 | style consistent with standard Unix man pages. Mke2fs's man page |
| 3468 | added documentation for a few previously undocumented options. |
| 3469 | |
| 3470 | Fixed minor display bugs in tune2fs and mke2fs. |
| 3471 | |
| 3472 | Programmer's notes: |
| 3473 | ------------------- |
| 3474 | |
| 3475 | Improved portability of e2fsprogs to non-Unix systems (in particular, NT). |
| 3476 | |
| 3477 | Added features to parse and print feature strings into the e2p library. |
| 3478 | (e2p_feature2string, e2p_string2feature, e2p_edit_feature). |
| 3479 | |
| 3480 | ext2fs_mkdir() and ext2fs_new_dir_block() now creates directories |
| 3481 | whose directory entries contain proper filetype information if the |
| 3482 | filesystem supports it. |
| 3483 | |
| 3484 | ext2fs_link() now uses the low 3 bits of its flags parameter to pass |
| 3485 | the directory entry filetype information. This is used to set the |
| 3486 | directory entry filetype information if the filesystem supports it. |
| 3487 | |
| 3488 | Fixed a bug in ext2fs_expand_dir() where the block count in a |
| 3489 | directory's inode would not be properly incremented when the directory |
| 3490 | was expanded to the point where an indirect block needed to be |
| 3491 | allocated. |
| 3492 | |

Theodore Ts'o | e2a99be | 1999-07-19 15:48:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3495 | ============================== |
Theodore Ts'o | 6d53db3 | 1999-07-03 20:52:21 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3496 | |
| 3497 | Add configuration checks so that e2fsprogs will compile cleanly on |
| 3498 | Linux 2.3 kernels that have renamed i_version to i_generation. |
| 3499 | |
Theodore Ts'o | e2a99be | 1999-07-19 15:48:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3500 | E2fsck now prints a progress/completion bar (and not just a simple |
| 3501 | spinner) if the -C0 option is requested or if it receives a SIGUSR1 |
| 3502 | signal. Fsck will automatically manage the (potentially muliple) |
| 3503 | e2fsck processes to print completion bars if it is given a -C option, |
| 3504 | with the right thing happening if multiple filesystems are being |
| 3505 | checked in parallel. |
| 3506 | |
| 3507 | Mke2fs now has better automatic hueristics to determine the filesystem |
| 3508 | parameters to be used for a particular filesystem. Added a new option |
| 3509 | -T which allows the user to specify how the filesystem is to be used, |
| 3510 | which helps mke2fs do a better job selecting the filesystem parameters. |
| 3511 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a39f3ef | 1999-07-20 02:02:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3512 | Mke2fs now creates revision 1 filesystems by default, and with the |
| 3513 | sparse superblock feature enabled. The sparse superblock feature is |
Theodore Ts'o | 8a31ffe | 1999-10-23 03:33:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3514 | not understood by Linux 2.0 kernels, so they will only allow read-only |
| 3515 | mounts of filesystems with this sparse superblocks. |
Theodore Ts'o | a39f3ef | 1999-07-20 02:02:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3516 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 6d53db3 | 1999-07-03 20:52:21 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3517 | Fix bug where if /dev/null couldn't be opened (should never happen), |
| 3518 | e2fsck would hang in a tight loop. |
| 3519 | |
| 3520 | Make e2fsck handle the case where /lost+found isn't a directory. |
| 3521 | |
| 3522 | E2fsck now uses mallinfo if it exists to get accurate statistics about |
| 3523 | its memory usage. |
| 3524 | |
| 3525 | Fix bug in e2fsck where it wouldn't check to see if a disconnected |
| 3526 | inode had any problems before connecting it to /lost+found. |
| 3527 | |
| 3528 | Add check to e2fsck so it makes sure that total number of inodes in |
| 3529 | the filesystem is a sane number. |
| 3530 | |
| 3531 | Fix fencepost error when clearing an the end of the block bitmap which |
| 3532 | caused the last block in the bitmap not to get cleared. |
| 3533 | |
| 3534 | Cleaned up a number of messages in e2fsck: |
| 3535 | * The message "Group's #'s copy of the group descriptor..." |
| 3536 | was fixed so that the correct number would be displayed. |
| 3537 | * Added missing space in the "disk write-protected" error messsage |
| 3538 | * Cleaned up the error message printed when a non-interactive |
| 3539 | e2fsck needs to abort a check because the filesystem |
| 3540 | appears to be mounted. |
| 3541 | |
| 3542 | Added a new command-line utility, uuidgen, which will create and print |
| 3543 | a UUID. |
| 3544 | |
| 3545 | Make debugfs's icheck command more robust by checking to make sure an |
| 3546 | inode has valid blocks before interarting over the inode's blocks. |
| 3547 | |
| 3548 | UUID generation now uses a random-based scheme whenever possible to |
| 3549 | prevent potential privacy problems. |
| 3550 | |
| 3551 | Man pages for all of the UUID functions in the lirbary were added. |
| 3552 | |
| 3553 | Fixed bug in fsck so it won't coredump if a filesystem not in |
| 3554 | /etc/fstab is given to it. |
| 3555 | |
| 3556 | Fsck now understands the UUID=xxxx and LABEL=yyyy forms in /etc/fstab |
| 3557 | that most of the other mount utilities understands. |
| 3558 | |
| 3559 | Mke2fs will make a filesystem even if it appears mounted if the force |
| 3560 | option is given. |
| 3561 | |
| 3562 | Dumpe2fs has new command-line options which allow a filesystem expert |
| 3563 | to specify the superblock and blocksize when opening a filesystem. |
| 3564 | This is mainly useful when examining the remains of a toasted |
| 3565 | filesystem. |
| 3566 | |
| 3567 | The badblocks program has been updated to display correctly on disks |
| 3568 | with large block numbers. |
| 3569 | |
Theodore Ts'o | e2a99be | 1999-07-19 15:48:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3570 | The badblocks program no longer gives spurious errors when errors |
| 3571 | occur on non-block boundaries, which is common if the blocksize is |
| 3572 | larger than 1k. |
| 3573 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 6d53db3 | 1999-07-03 20:52:21 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3574 | Mke2fs will sync the disk device every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups if the |
| 3575 | MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set. This is to work around a VM |
| 3576 | bug in the 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able |
Theodore Ts'o | a39f3ef | 1999-07-20 02:02:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3577 | to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel, but hopefully it will not be |
| 3578 | needed for most Linux 2.2 users. |
Theodore Ts'o | 6d53db3 | 1999-07-03 20:52:21 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3579 | |
| 3580 | Fixed miscellaneous documentation and man pages. |
| 3581 | |
| 3582 | Programmer's notes: |
| 3583 | ------------------- |
| 3584 | |
| 3585 | Cleaned up functions such as pass1_get_blocks, pass1_read_inode which |
| 3586 | in e2fsck's pass1.c really should have been static. |
| 3587 | |
| 3588 | The return value of the uuid_compare() function was changed to make it |
| 3589 | match with the convetions used by strcmp, memcmp, and Paul Leach's |
| 3590 | UUID sample document. |
| 3591 | |
| 3592 | The "make depend" process has now been made more automated; it now |
| 3593 | automatically word-wraps the dependencies, and only replaces source |
| 3594 | Makefile.in if there has been a change in the dependencies. Also, a |
| 3595 | top-level "make depend" now recurses through all the subdirectories |
| 3596 | automatically. |
| 3597 | |
| 3598 | The Makefile in .../util has been changed so that subst is built using |
| 3599 | the native C compiler during a cross-compilation, since the subst |
| 3600 | program is only used during the build process. Also add an explicit |
| 3601 | rule to build util/subst by cd'ing to the correct directory and |
| 3602 | running Makefile. |
| 3603 | |
| 3604 | The man directories are defined in terms mandir, so that the configure |
| 3605 | script can override the location of the manual pages. |
| 3606 | |
| 3607 | The config files have been updated to recognize new machine types for |
| 3608 | both the i386 and alpha families. |
| 3609 | |
| 3610 | Fsck has been modified so that it will accurately create an |
| 3611 | fsck_instance even when the noexecute flag is set. This allows for |
| 3612 | accurate debugging of the fsck pass structure. Also, when the verbose |
| 3613 | flag is given twice, fsck will print debugging information about when |
| 3614 | fsck is waiting for jobs to finish. |
| 3615 | |
| 3616 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 14790ed | 1999-01-12 23:32:52 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3617 | E2fsprogs 1.14 (January 9, 1999) |
| 3618 | ================================ |
| 3619 | |
| 3620 | Fix the fstab parsing code so that it can handle blank lines and |
| 3621 | comment characters. Also, missing pass numbers need to be treated as |
| 3622 | zero. |
| 3623 | |
| 3624 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck where under some circumstances (when e2fsck |
| 3625 | needs to restart processing after fixing an egregious inconsistency) |
| 3626 | it would try to access already freed memory. |
| 3627 | |
| 3628 | E2fsck now prints non-printable characters in directory entries and |
| 3629 | pathnames using '^' and 'M-' notation. |
| 3630 | |
| 3631 | Fixed chattr so that it will ignore symbolic links when doing |
| 3632 | recursive descent traversals. For both chattr and lsattr, no longer |
| 3633 | print the version string unless the -V option is given. |
| 3634 | |
| 3635 | Allow the system administrator to directly specify the number of |
| 3636 | inodes desired in the filesystem, for some special cases where this is |
| 3637 | necessary. |
| 3638 | |
| 3639 | Fix portability problems so that e2fsprogs can be compiled under Linux |
| 3640 | 1.2 systems and Solaris systems. |
| 3641 | |
| 3642 | Update the config.guess file with a more recent version that will |
| 3643 | identify newer Linux platforms. |
| 3644 | |
| 3645 | Programmer's notes |
| 3646 | ------------------ |
| 3647 | |
| 3648 | Ext2fs_read_inode and ext2fs_write_inode will now return an error if |
| 3649 | an inode number of zero is passed to them. |
| 3650 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 556ad13 | 1998-12-19 08:10:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3651 | E2fsprogs 1.13 (December 15, 1998) |
| 3652 | ================================== |
| 3653 | |
| 3654 | Fixed a bug in debugfs where an error messages weren't getting printed |
| 3655 | when the ext2 library routines to read inodes returned errors in the |
| 3656 | stat, cmri and rm commands. |
| 3657 | |
| 3658 | Fixed a bug in mke2fs so that if a ridiculous inode ratio parameter is |
| 3659 | provided, it won't create an inode table smaller than the minimum |
| 3660 | number of inodes required for a proper ext2 filesystem. |
| 3661 | |
| 3662 | Fsck now parses the /etc/fstab file directly (instead of using |
| 3663 | getmntent()), so that it can distinguish between a missing pass number |
| 3664 | field and pass number field of zero. This caused problems for |
| 3665 | diskless workstations where all of the filesystems in /etc/fstab have |
| 3666 | an explicit pass number of zero, and fsck could not distinguish this |
| 3667 | from a /etc/fstab file with missing pass numbers. |
| 3668 | |
| 3669 | E2fsck will create a /lost+found directory if there isn't one in the |
| 3670 | filesystem, since it's safer to create the lost+found directory before |
| 3671 | it's needed. |
| 3672 | |
| 3673 | Fixed e2fsck so that it would detect bogus immutable inodes which |
| 3674 | happen to be sockets and FIFO files, and offer to clear them. |
| 3675 | |
| 3676 | If a filesystem has multiple reasons why it needs to be checked, and |
| 3677 | one of the reasons is that it is uncleanly mounted, e2fsck will print |
| 3678 | that as the reason why the filesystem is being checked. |
| 3679 | |
| 3680 | Cleaned up the output routines of mke2fs so that it doesn't overflow |
| 3681 | an 80 column display when formating really big filesystems. |
| 3682 | |
| 3683 | Added a sanity check to e2fsck to make sure that file descriptors 0, |
| 3684 | 1, 2 are open before opening the hard disk. This avoids a problem |
| 3685 | where a broken program might exec e2fsck with those file descriptors |
| 3686 | closed, which would cause disastrous results if the kernel returns a |
| 3687 | file descriptor for the block device which is also used by FILE * |
| 3688 | stdout. |
| 3689 | |
| 3690 | Fixed up the e2fsck progress reporting functions so that the values |
| 3691 | reliably reach 100% at the completion of all of the e2fsck passes. |
| 3692 | |
| 3693 | Fixed minor documentation bugs in man pages and usage messages. |
| 3694 | |
| 3695 | Programmer's notes: |
| 3696 | ------------------- |
| 3697 | |
| 3698 | Fixed a number of lint warnings in the ext2fs library and potential |
| 3699 | portability problems from other OS's header files that might define |
| 3700 | CPP macros for names like "max" and "min". |
| 3701 | |
| 3702 | ext2fs_badblocks_list_add() has been made more efficient when it needs |
| 3703 | to grow the bad blocks list. |
| 3704 | |
| 3705 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused it to dereference a freed pointer |
| 3706 | just before exiting. |
| 3707 | |
| 3708 | Fixed the substition process for generating the mk_cmds and compile_et |
| 3709 | scripts so that they will work outside of the build tree. |
| 3710 | |
| 3711 | Add sanity check to e2fsck so that if an internal routine |
| 3712 | (ext2fs_get_dir_info) returns NULL, avoid dereferencing the pointer |
| 3713 | and causing a core dump. This should never happen, but... |
| 3714 | |

Theodore Ts'o | 21d5385 | 1998-02-21 03:14:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3716 | ================================== |
| 3717 | |
| 3718 | E2fsprogs now works with glibc (at least with the version shipped wtih |
| 3719 | RedHat 5.0). The ext2fs_llseek() function should now work even with |
| 3720 | i386 ELF shared libraries and if llseek() is not present. We also |
| 3721 | explicitly do a configure test to see if (a) llseek is in libc, and |
| 3722 | (b) if llseek is declared in the system header files. (See standard |
| 3723 | complaints about libc developers don't understand the concept of |
| 3724 | compatibility with previous versions of libc.) |
| 3725 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c9833a6 | 1998-07-05 19:37:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3726 | The ext2fs library now writes out the block group number in each of |
| 3727 | the superblock copies. This makes it easier to automatically |
| 3728 | determine the starting block group of the filesystem when the block |
| 3729 | group information is trashed. |
| 3730 | |
| 3731 | Added support for the EXT2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_FILETYPE feature, |
Theodore Ts'o | 101c84f | 1998-03-24 16:27:11 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3732 | which means that e2fsprogs will ignore the high 8 bits of the |
| 3733 | directory entry's name_len field, so that it can be used for other |
| 3734 | purposes. |
| 3735 | |
| 3736 | Added support for the EXT2_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_LARGE_FILE feature. |
| 3737 | E2fsprogs will now support filesystems with 64-bit sized files. |
| 3738 | |
| 3739 | Added support for the EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_DIR_PREALLOC feature. |
| 3740 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 21d5385 | 1998-02-21 03:14:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3741 | Added new program "e2label", contributed by Andries Brouwer. E2label |
| 3742 | provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem label. |
| 3743 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a4b2d3c | 1998-04-03 16:12:25 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3744 | Fixed bug so that lsattr -v works instead of producing a core dump. |
| 3745 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 21d5385 | 1998-02-21 03:14:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3746 | Fixed a minor bug in mke2fs so that all groups with bad superblock |
| 3747 | backup blocks are printed (not just the first one). |
Theodore Ts'o | a4b2d3c | 1998-04-03 16:12:25 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3748 | |
| 3749 | Mke2fs will check the size of the device, and if the user specifies a |
| 3750 | filesystem size larger than the apparent size of the device it will |
| 3751 | print a warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed. |
| 3752 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c9833a6 | 1998-07-05 19:37:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3753 | E2fsck has a new option -C, which sends completion information to the |
| 3754 | specified file descriptor. For the most part, this is intended for |
| 3755 | programs to use, although -C 0 will print a spinning character to the |
| 3756 | stdout device, which may be useful for users who want to see something |
| 3757 | happening while e2fsck goes about its business. |

Theodore Ts'o | 21d5385 | 1998-02-21 03:14:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3759 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could cause a core dump when it needs to |
| 3760 | expand the /lost+found directory, and sometimes the bitmaps haven't |
| 3761 | been merged in. Also fixed a related bug where ext2fs_write_dir_block |
| 3762 | was used to write out a non-directory block. (Which would be bad on a |
| 3763 | non-Intel platform with byte swapping going on.) |
| 3764 | |
| 3765 | Fixed bug in e2fsck where it would print a "programming error" message |
| 3766 | instead of correctly identifying where a bad block was in used when |
| 3767 | the bad block was in a non-primary superblock or block group |
| 3768 | descriptor. Also fixed a related bug when sparse superblocks are in |
| 3769 | use and there is a bad block where a superblock or block group |
| 3770 | descriptor would have been in a group that doesn't include a |
| 3771 | superblock. |
| 3772 | |
| 3773 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck (really in libext2fs's dblist function) where if |
| 3774 | the block group descriptor table is corrupt, it was possible to try to |
| 3775 | allocate a huge array, fail, and then abort e2fsck. |
| 3776 | ext2fs_get_num_dirs() now sanity checks the block group descriptor, |
| 3777 | and subsitutes reasonable values if the descriptors are obviously bogus. |
| 3778 | |
| 3779 | If e2fsck finds a device file which has the immutable flag set and the |
| 3780 | i_blocks beyond the normal device number are non-zero, e2fsck will |
| 3781 | offer to remove it, since it's probably caused by garbage in the inode |
| 3782 | table. |
| 3783 | |
| 3784 | When opening a filesystem, e2fsck specially checks for the EROFS error |
| 3785 | code, and prints a specific error message to the user which is more |
| 3786 | user friendly. |
| 3787 | |
| 3788 | If the filesystem revision is too high, change the e2fsck to print |
| 3789 | that this is either because e2fsck is out of date, or because the |
| 3790 | superblock is corrupt. |
| 3791 | |
| 3792 | E2fsck now checks for directories that have duplicate '.' and '..' |
| 3793 | entries, and fixes this corruption. |
| 3794 | |
| 3795 | E2fsck no longer forces a sync of the filesystem (with attendant sleep |
| 3796 | calls) at all times. The ext2fs_flush() function now performs a sync |
| 3797 | only if it needed to write data blocks to disk. |
| 3798 | |
| 3799 | Fixed a minor bug in e2fsck's pass1b's file cloning function, where |
| 3800 | certain errors would not be properly reported. |
| 3801 | |
| 3802 | Updated and expanded a few points in the man pages which users |
| 3803 | complained wheren't explicit enough. |
| 3804 | |
| 3805 | Added special case byte-swapping code if compiling on the PowerPC, to |
| 3806 | accomodate the strange big-endian variant of the ext2 filesystem that |
| 3807 | was previously used on the PowerPC port. |
| 3808 | |
| 3809 | |
| 3810 | Programmer's notes: |
| 3811 | ------------------- |
| 3812 | |
| 3813 | Removed C++ keywords from the ext2fs libraries so that it could be |
| 3814 | compiled with C++. |
| 3815 | |
| 3816 | E2fsck's internal organization has now been massively reorganized so |
| 3817 | that pass*.c don't have any printf statements. Instead, all problems |
| 3818 | are reported through the fix_problem() abstraction interface. E2fsck |
| 3819 | has also been revamped so that it can be called as a library from a |
| 3820 | application. |
| 3821 | |
| 3822 | Added new fileio primitives in libext2fs for reading and writing |
| 3823 | files on an unmounted ext2 filesystem. This interface is now used by |
| 3824 | debugfs. |
| 3825 | |
| 3826 | Added a new libext2fs function for mapping logical block numbers of |
| 3827 | a file to a physical block number. |
| 3828 | |
| 3829 | Added a new libext2fs function, ext2fs_alloc_block(), which allocates |
| 3830 | a block, zeros it, and updates the filesystem accounting records |
| 3831 | appropriately. |
| 3832 | |
| 3833 | Added a new libext2fs function, ext2fs_set_bitmap_padding(), which |
| 3834 | sets the padding of the bitmap to be all one's. Used by e2fsck pass 5. |
| 3835 | |
| 3836 | The libext2fs functions now use a set of memory allocation wrapper |
| 3837 | functions: ext2fs_get_mem, ext2fs_free_mem, and ext2fs_resize_mem, |
| 3838 | instead of malloc, free, and resize. This makes it easier for us to |
| 3839 | be ported to strange environments where malloc, et. al. aren't |
| 3840 | necessarily available. |
| 3841 | |
| 3842 | Change the libext2fs fucntion to return ext2-specific error codes |
| 3843 | (EXT2_DIR_EXISTS and EXT2_DB_NOT_FOUND, for example) instead of using |
| 3844 | and depending on the existence of system error codes (such as EEXIST |
| 3845 | and ENOENT). |
| 3846 | |
| 3847 | Renamed io.h to ext2_io.h to avoid collision with other OS's header |
| 3848 | files. |
| 3849 | |
| 3850 | Add protection against ext2_io.h and ext2fs.h being included multiple |
| 3851 | times. |
| 3852 | |
| 3853 | The types used for memory lengths, etc. have been made more portable. |
| 3854 | In generla, the code has been made 16-bit safe. Added Mark |
| 3855 | Habersack's contributed DOS disk i/o routines. |
| 3856 | |
| 3857 | Miscellaneous portability fixes, including not depending on char's |
| 3858 | being signed. |
| 3859 | |
| 3860 | The io_channel structure has a new element, app_data, which is |
| 3861 | initialized by the ext2fs routines to contain a copy of the filesystem |
| 3862 | handle. |
| 3863 | |
| 3864 | ext2fs_check_directory()'s callback function may now return the error |
| 3865 | EXT2_ET_CALLBACK_NOTHANDLED if it wishes ext2fs_check_directory() to |
| 3866 | really do the checking, despite the presence of the callback function. |
| 3867 | |

| 3870 | ============================== |
| 3871 | |
| 3872 | Fixed e2fsck to detect (previously ignored) conflicts between the |
| 3873 | superblock or block group descriptors and block bitmaps, inode |
| 3874 | bitmaps, and inode tables. |
| 3875 | |
| 3876 | Fixed bug in e2fsck so that when the message printed out when a block |
| 3877 | or inode bitmap conflicts with other data, it has the correct group |
| 3878 | number. |
| 3879 | |
| 3880 | Fixed bug in e2fsck and mke2fs where the blocksize wasn't being passed |
| 3881 | to badblocks. This meant that not all of the filesystem was being |
| 3882 | tested for bad blocks! |
| 3883 | |
| 3884 | Fixed an array boundary overrun case which cropped up in |
| 3885 | ext2fs_badblocks_list_test when a user tried running "mke2fs -c |
| 3886 | -b 4096". |
| 3887 | |
| 3888 | Adjusted the number of columns printed by mke2fs when displaying the |
| 3889 | superblock backups to avoid running over 80 columns when making a |
Theodore Ts'o | 21d5385 | 1998-02-21 03:14:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3890 | really big filesystem. |
Theodore Ts'o | bc21007 | 1997-06-17 05:41:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3891 | |
| 3892 | Fixed up the man pages for e2fsck, debugfs, badblocks, chattr, |
| 3893 | dumpe2fs, fsck, mke2fs, and tune2fs (typos and other minor grammar |
| 3894 | fixes), thanks to some suggestions from Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net). |
| 3895 | |
| 3896 | Programmer's notes: |
| 3897 | ------------------- |
| 3898 | |
| 3899 | Fixed install rule in lib/ss so that ss_err.h is actually getting |
| 3900 | installed. |
| 3901 | |
| 3902 | Fixed bug in ext2fs_copy_bitmap; the destination bitmap wasn't getting |
| 3903 | bassed back to the caller. |
| 3904 | |
| 3905 | Fixed bug in ext2fs_inode_scan_goto_blockgroup; it had not been |
| 3906 | setting the current inode number (which meant this function wasn't |
| 3907 | working at all). |
| 3908 | |
| 3909 | Fixed bug in ext2fs_resize_generic_bitmap; it had not be zeroing all |
| 3910 | blocks in the bitmap when increasing the size of the bitmap. |
| 3911 | |
| 3912 | Changed the initial number of blocks allocated by ext2fs_init_dblist() |
| 3913 | to be more realistic. |
| 3914 | |
| 3915 | Added a new function ext2fs_allocate_group_table, which sets up the |
| 3916 | group descriptor information (and allocates inode and block bitmaps, |
| 3917 | and inode tables for a particular group). The function was created by |
| 3918 | factoring out code form ext2fs_allocate_tables(). |
| 3919 | |
| 3920 | Added a new function ext2fs_move_blocks which takes a bitmap of the |
| 3921 | blocks to be moved, and moves them to another location on the |
| 3922 | boardboard. |
| 3923 | |
| 3924 | Make the unix_io channel's io_channel_flush implementation calls sync() |
| 3925 | to to flush the kernel buffers to disk. |
| 3926 | |
| 3927 | Added a new function ext2fs_dblist_count returns the number of |
| 3928 | directory blocks in dblist. |
| 3929 | |
| 3930 | |
Theodore Ts'o | ae85148 | 1997-04-29 18:13:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3931 | E2fsprogs 1.10 (April 24, 1997) |
| 3932 | =============================== |
| 3933 | |
| 3934 | Mke2fs once again defaults to creating revision #0 filesystems, since |
| 3935 | people were complaining about breaking compatibility with 1.2 kernels. |
| 3936 | Warning messages were added to the mke2fs and tune2fs man pages that |
| 3937 | the sparse superblock option isn't supported by most kernels yet (1.2 |
| 3938 | and 2.0 both don't support parse superblocks.) |
| 3939 | |
| 3940 | Added new flag to mke2fs, -R <raid options>, which allows the user to |
| 3941 | tell mke2fs about the RAID configuration of the filesystem. Currently |
| 3942 | the only supported raid option is "stride" which specifies the width |
| 3943 | of the RAID stripe. |
| 3944 | |
| 3945 | Fixed bug in e2fsck where pass1b would bomb out if there were any |
| 3946 | blocks marked bad in the inode table. |
| 3947 | |
| 3948 | Fixed rare bug in mke2fs where if the user had a very unlucky number |
| 3949 | of blocks in a filesystem (probability less than .002) the resulting |
| 3950 | filesystem would be corrupt in the last block group. |
| 3951 | |
| 3952 | Fixed bug where if e2fsck tried to allocate a block to fix a |
| 3953 | filesystem corruption problem and the filesystem had no free blocks, |
| 3954 | ext2fs_new_block() would loop forever. |
| 3955 | |
| 3956 | The configure script now checks explicitly to see if "-static" works, |
| 3957 | since that can't be assumed to be true --- RedHat doesn't install |
| 3958 | libc-static by default. |
| 3959 | |
| 3960 | Fixed bug in libext2's block iterator functions where under some |
| 3961 | cirmcustances, file with holes would cause the bcount parameter to the |
| 3962 | callback function to be incorrect. This bug didn't affect any of |
| 3963 | e2fsprogs programs, but it was discovered by Paul Mackerras, the |
| 3964 | author of the PPC boot loader. |
| 3965 | |
| 3966 | Removed use of static variables to store the inode cache in libext2fs. |
| 3967 | This caused problems if more than one filesystem was accessed via |
| 3968 | libext2fs (static variables in libraries are generally a bad idea). |
| 3969 | Again, this didn't affect e2fsprogs programs, but it was discovered by |
| 3970 | Paul Mackerras. |
| 3971 | |
| 3972 | Fixed minor bugs and version code drift to assure that e2fsprogs 1.10 |
| 3973 | will compile cleanly with 1.2.13 kernels (even with a.out shared |
| 3974 | libraries!) |
| 3975 | |
| 3976 | Programmer's notes: |
| 3977 | ------------------- |
| 3978 | |
| 3979 | Added new functions to duplicate an ext2 filesystem handle, and its |
| 3980 | associated substructure. New functions: ext2fs_dup_handle(), |
| 3981 | ext2fs_copy_dblist(), ext2fs_badblocks_copy(), ext2fs_copy_bitmap(). |
| 3982 | Other structures, such as the io_channel and the inode_cache, now have |
| 3983 | a ref count so that they only get freed when they are no longer used |
| 3984 | by any filesystem handle. (These functions were added as part of the |
| 3985 | development effort for an ext2 resizer). |
| 3986 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2ecc6fe | 1997-04-29 17:57:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3987 | E2fsprogs 1.09 (April 14, 1997) |
| 3988 | =============================== |
| 3989 | |
| 3990 | Fixed bug in mke2fs (really in lib/ext2fs/initialize.c) which was |
| 3991 | accidentally introduced in the 1.08 release. The overhead calculation |
| 3992 | was accidentally removed, which caused ext2fs_initialize() to not |
| 3993 | notice when the filesystem size needed to be adjusted down because |
| 3994 | there wasn't enough space in the last block group. |
| 3995 | |
| 3996 | Fixed bug in version parsing library routine; it was always parsing |
| 3997 | the library version string, instead of using the passed-in string. |
| 3998 | |
| 3999 | Clarified chattr man page. |
| 4000 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 24757fa | 1997-04-29 17:39:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4001 | E2fsprogs 1.08 (April 10, 1997) |
| 4002 | =============================== |
| 4003 | |
| 4004 | E2fsck 1.07 was very slow when checking very large filesystems with a |
| 4005 | lot of files that had hard links (i.e., news spools). This was fixed |
| 4006 | by seriously revamping the icount abstraction. Added a formal test |
| 4007 | suite for the icount abstraction. |
| 4008 | |
| 4009 | Debugfs now has a "-l" option to the "ls" command, which lists the |
| 4010 | inode number, permissions, owner, group, size, and name of the files |
| 4011 | in the directory. |
| 4012 | |
| 4013 | Fix a bug in e2fsck where when a directory had its blocks moved to |
| 4014 | another location during the pass 1b processing, the directory block |
| 4015 | list wasn't updated, so pass 2 wouldn't check (and correct) the |
| 4016 | correct directory block. |
| 4017 | |
| 4018 | E2fsck will now treat inodes which contain blocks which are claimed by |
| 4019 | the filesystem metadata by treating them as multiply claimed blocks. |
| 4020 | This way, the data in those blocks can be copied to a new block during |
| 4021 | the pass 1b--1d processing. |
| 4022 | |
| 4023 | E2fsck will attempt to determine the correct superblock number and |
| 4024 | display it in the diagnostic and warning messages if possible. |
| 4025 | |
| 4026 | Add support for a new (incompatible) feature, "sparse_super". This |
| 4027 | feature reduces the number of blocks which contain copies of backup |
| 4028 | superblocks and block group descriptors. (It is only an incompatible |
| 4029 | feature because of a bug in ext2_free_blocks.) mke2fs and tune2fs now |
| 4030 | support a new -s option; e2fsck will recognize filesystems built with |
| 4031 | this feature turned on. |
| 4032 | |
| 4033 | E2fsck now checks the library to make sure is the correct version, |
| 4034 | using new library functions. (This helps to diagnose incorrectly |
| 4035 | installed e2fsprogs distributions.) |
| 4036 | |
| 4037 | Dumpe2fs now prints more information; its now prints the the |
| 4038 | filesystem revision number, the filesystem sparse_super feature (if |
| 4039 | present), the block ranges for each block group, and the offset from |
| 4040 | the beginning of the block group. |
| 4041 | |
| 4042 | Mke2fs now distributes the inode and block bitmap blok so that the |
| 4043 | won't be concentrated in one or two disks in RAID/striping setups. |
| 4044 | Also, if the user chooses a 2k or 4k block group, mke2fs will try to |
| 4045 | choose the largest blocks per group that be chosen. (For 2k blocks, |
| 4046 | you can have up to 16384 blocks/group; for 4k blocks, you can have up |
| 4047 | to 32768 blocks/group.) Previously mke2fs would not allow |
| 4048 | specification of more than 8192 blocks per group, even if you were |
| 4049 | using a 2k or 4k block group. |
| 4050 | |
| 4051 | Programmer's notes: |
| 4052 | ------------------- |
| 4053 | |
| 4054 | Added a new function ext2fs_create_icount2() which takes a "hint" |
| 4055 | argument. This hint argument presets the icount array with the list |
| 4056 | of inodes which actually need to be in the icount array. This really |
| 4057 | helps to speed up e2fsck. |
| 4058 | |
| 4059 | Added a new function ext2fs_icount_validate() which checks the rep |
| 4060 | invariant for the icount structure. This is used mostly for testing. |
| 4061 | |
| 4062 | The error mesasage given when a bad inode number is passed to |
| 4063 | test_generic_bitmap to reflect EXT2FS_TEST_ERROR (instead of |
| 4064 | EXT2FS_UNMARK_ERROR). |
| 4065 | |
| 4066 | Added a new function ext2fs_set_dir_block which sets the block of a |
| 4067 | dblist entry, given the directory inode and blockcnt. |
| 4068 | |
| 4069 | Added a new function ext2fs_get_library_version() which returns the |
| 4070 | current library version, and ext2fs_parse_version_string() which |
| 4071 | returns a version number based on a e2fsprogs version string. |
| 4072 | |
| 4073 | The icount functions will return EINVAL if the passed in inode number |
| 4074 | is out of bounds. |
| 4075 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 21c84b7 | 1997-04-29 16:15:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4076 | E2fsprogs 1.07 (March 9, 1997) |
| 4077 | ============================== |
| 4078 | |
| 4079 | E2fsck is now uses much less memory when checking really large |
| 4080 | filesystems (or rather, filesystems with a large number of inodes). |
| 4081 | Previously a filesystem with 1 million inodes required 4 megabytes of |
| 4082 | memory to store inode count statistics; that storage requirement has |
| 4083 | now been reduced to roughly half a megabyte. |
| 4084 | |
| 4085 | E2fsck can now properly deal with bad blocks appearing inside the |
| 4086 | inode table. Instead of trying to relocate the inode table (which |
| 4087 | often failed because there wasn't enough space), the inodes in the bad |
| 4088 | block are marked as in use. |
| 4089 | |
| 4090 | E2fsck will automatically try to use the backup superblocks if the |
| 4091 | primary superblocks have a bad magic number or have missing meta-data |
| 4092 | blocks (or meta-data blocks which are out of range). |
| 4093 | |
| 4094 | E2fsck's pass 3 has been made more efficient; most noticeable on |
| 4095 | filesystems with a very large number of directories. |
| 4096 | |
| 4097 | Completely revamped e2fsck's system of printing problem reports. It |
| 4098 | is now table driven, to make them more easily customizeable and |
| 4099 | extendable. Error messages which can be printed out during preen mode |
| 4100 | are now one line long. |
| 4101 | |
| 4102 | Fixed e2fsck's filesystem swapping code so that it won't try to swap |
| 4103 | fast symbolic links or deleted files. |
| 4104 | |
| 4105 | Fixed e2fsck core dumping when fixing a filesystem which has no |
| 4106 | directories (not even a root directory). |
| 4107 | |
| 4108 | Added a check to e2fsck to make sure that the length of every |
| 4109 | directory entry is a multiple of 4 (since the kernel complains if it |
| 4110 | isn't). |
| 4111 | |
| 4112 | Added a check to e2fsck to make sure that a directory entry isn't a |
| 4113 | link to the root directory, since that isn't allowed. |
| 4114 | |
| 4115 | Added a check to e2fsk to now make sure the '.' and '..' directory |
| 4116 | entries are null terminated, since the 2.0 kernel requires it. |
| 4117 | |
| 4118 | Added check to write_bitmaps() to make sure the superblock doesn't get |
| 4119 | trashed if the inode or block bitmap is marked as being block zero. |
| 4120 | |
| 4121 | Added checking of the new feature set fields in the superblock, to |
| 4122 | avoid dealing with new filesystem features that this package wasn't |
| 4123 | set up to handle. |
| 4124 | |
| 4125 | Fixed a fencepost error in ext2fs_new_block() which would occasionally |
| 4126 | try to allocate a block beyond the end of a filesystem. |
| 4127 | |
| 4128 | When the UUID library picks a random IEEE 802 address (because it |
| 4129 | can't find one from a network card), it sets the multicast bit, to |
| 4130 | avoid conflicting with a legitimate IEEE 802 address. |
| 4131 | |
| 4132 | Mke2fs now sets the root directory's owner to be the real uid of the |
| 4133 | user running mke2fs. If the real uid is non-zero, it also sets |
| 4134 | the group ownership of the root directory to be the real group-id of |
| 4135 | the user running mke2fs. |
| 4136 | |
| 4137 | Mke2fs now has more intelligent error checking when it is given a |
| 4138 | non-existent device. |
| 4139 | |
| 4140 | When badblocks is given the -vv option, it now updates the block that |
| 4141 | it is currently testing on every block. |
| 4142 | |
| 4143 | Fixed a bug in fsck where it wouldn't modify the PATH envirnoment |
| 4144 | currently correctly if PATH wasn't already set. |
| 4145 | |
| 4146 | Shared libraries now built with dependencies. This allows the shared |
| 4147 | library files to be used with dlopen(); it also makes the transition |
| 4148 | to libc 6 easier, since ld.so can tell which libc a particular shared |
| 4149 | library expects to use. |
| 4150 | |
| 4151 | Programmer's notes: |
| 4152 | ------------------- |
| 4153 | |
| 4154 | Added new abstraction (defined in dblist.c) for maintaining a list of |
| 4155 | blocks which belongs to directories. This is used in e2fsck and other |
| 4156 | programs which need to iterate over all directories. |
| 4157 | |
| 4158 | Added new functions which test to see if a contiguous range of blocks |
| 4159 | (or inodes) are available. (ext2fs_*_bitmap_range). |
| 4160 | |
| 4161 | Added new function (ext2_inode_has_valid_blocks) which returns true if |
| 4162 | an inode has valid blocks. (moved from e2fsck code). |
| 4163 | |
| 4164 | Added new function (ext2fs_allocate_tables) which allocates the |
| 4165 | meta-data blocks as part of initializing a filesystem. (moved from |
| 4166 | mke2fs code). |
| 4167 | |
| 4168 | Added a new I/O manager for testing purposes. It will either allow a |
| 4169 | program to intercept I/O requests, or print debugging messages to |
| 4170 | trace the activity of a program using the I/O manager. |
| 4171 | |
| 4172 | The badblocks_list functions now store the bad blocks in a sorted |
| 4173 | order, and use a binary search to speed up badblocks_list_test. |
| 4174 | |
| 4175 | The inode scan function ext2fs_get_next_inode() may now return a soft |
| 4176 | error returns: MISSING_INODE_TABLE and BAD_BLOCK_IN_INODE_TABLE in |
| 4177 | those cases where part of an inode table is missing or there is a bad |
| 4178 | block in the inode table. |
| 4179 | |
| 4180 | Added a new function (ext2fs_block_iterate2) which adds new arguments to |
| 4181 | the callback function to return a pointer (block and offset) to the |
| 4182 | reference of the block. |
| 4183 | |
| 4184 | Added new function (ext2fs_inode_scan_goto_blockgroup) which allows an |
| 4185 | application to jump to a particular block group while doing an inode |
| 4186 | scan. |
| 4187 | |
| 4188 | The badblocks list functions were renamed from badblocks_* to |
| 4189 | ext2fs_badblocks_*. Backwards compatibility functions are available |
| 4190 | for now, but programs should be modified to use the new interface. |
| 4191 | |
| 4192 | Some of the library functions were reorganized into separate files to |
| 4193 | reduce the size of some programs which statically link against the |
| 4194 | ext2 library. |
| 4195 | |
| 4196 | Put in some miscellaneous fixes for the Alpha platform. |
| 4197 | |

| 4199 | E2fsprogs 1.06 (October 7, 1996) |
| 4200 | ================================ |
| 4201 | |
| 4202 | Fixed serious bug in e2fsck: if the block descriptors are bad, don't |
| 4203 | smash the backup copies in ext2fs_close(). (The problem was that when |
| 4204 | e2fsck -p discovered the problem, while it was closing the filesystem |
| 4205 | and exiting, it was also blowing away the backup superblocks on the |
| 4206 | disk, which was less than friendly.) We now make it the case that we |
| 4207 | only write out the backup superblock and the back block descriptors if |
| 4208 | the filesystem is completely free from problems. |
| 4209 | |
| 4210 | Fixed a bug in block_interate in the lib/ext2fs library which caused |
| 4211 | e2fsck to fail on GNU Hurd-created filesystems. |
| 4212 | |
| 4213 | Add support for Linux/FT's bootloader, which actually uses |
| 4214 | EXT2_BOOT_LOADER, and sets its mode bits which caused e2fsck to want |
| 4215 | to clear the inode. |
| 4216 | |
| 4217 | Add support for the "A" (no atime update) attribute. (Note: this |
| 4218 | attribute is not yet in production kernels.) |
| 4219 | |
| 4220 | The test suite is not automatically run when doing a "make all" from |
| 4221 | the top level directory. Users should manually run "make check" if |
| 4222 | they wish to run the test suite. |
| 4223 | |
| 4224 | Upon a preenhalt(), make the printed message more explicit that |
| 4225 | running e2fsck "MANAULLY" means without the -p or -a options. |
| 4226 | |
| 4227 | In e2fsck, if a disconnected inode is zero-length, offer to clear it |
| 4228 | instead of offering to connect it to lost+found. |
| 4229 | |
| 4230 | In e2fsck, if a filesystem was just unmounted uncleanly, and needs |
| 4231 | e2fsck to be run over it, change e2fsck to explicitly display this |
| 4232 | fact. |
| 4233 | |
| 4234 | For dumpe2fs and e2fsck, cause the -V option to print out which |
| 4235 | version of the ext2fs library is actually getting used. (This will |
| 4236 | help detect mismatches of using a 1.06 utility with a 1.05 library, |
| 4237 | etc.) |
| 4238 | |
| 4239 | Programmers' notes: |
| 4240 | ------------------- |
| 4241 | |
| 4242 | EXT2_SWAP_BYTES was changed to EXT2_FLAG_SWAP_BYTES, which better fits |
| 4243 | the naming convention. |
| 4244 | |
| 4245 | In ext2fs_initialize(), make sure the description for the inode bitmap |
| 4246 | is correctly initialize. |
| 4247 | |
| 4248 | Fixed minor type typo in ext2fs_allocate_generic_bitmap(); |
| 4249 | |
Theodore Ts'o | fc6d9d5 | 1997-04-29 14:51:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4250 | E2fsprogs 1.05 (September 7, 1996) |
| 4251 | ================================== |
| 4252 | |
| 4253 | Add support for new fields in the ext2 superblock --- volume name, |
| 4254 | volume UUID, and last mounted field. Dumpe2fs displays these fields, |
| 4255 | tune2fs and mke2fs allows you to set them. E2fsck will automatically |
| 4256 | generate a UUID for those volumes that don't have them. |
| 4257 | |
| 4258 | Put in support for e2fsck to recognize HURD specific ext2 features --- |
| 4259 | most notably, the translator block. The e2fsprogs tools will now use |
| 4260 | the creator_os field in the superblock to correctly handle different |
| 4261 | OS-specific variants of the ext2 filesystem. |
| 4262 | |
| 4263 | E2fsck now fixes inodes which have a the deletion time set, but which |
| 4264 | have a non-zero i_link_count field by offering to clear the deletion |
| 4265 | time. Previously e2fsck assumed that the inode was deleted (per 0.3c |
| 4266 | ext2 kernel behavior) and offered to unlink the file. |
| 4267 | |
| 4268 | If e2fsck sets the clean bit, but nothing else, set the exit code |
| 4269 | FSCK_NONDESTRUCT. After all, e2fsck did fix a filesystem error --- it |
| 4270 | set the filesystem valid bit when it was previously cleared. :-) This |
| 4271 | was needed to make the HURD fsck driver happy. |
| 4272 | |
| 4273 | If the user refuses to attach an unattached inode, e2fsck will no |
| 4274 | longer set the inode's link count. Otherwise, the inode would end up |
| 4275 | getting marked as unused, which might cause loss of data later. |
| 4276 | |
| 4277 | Make the message issued by e2fsck when the superblock is corrupt less |
| 4278 | confusing for users. It now mentions that another reason for the |
| 4279 | "corrupt superblock" message might be that the partition might not be |
| 4280 | an ext2 filesystem at all (it might swap, msdos filesystem, ufs, etc.) |
| 4281 | |
| 4282 | Make the libext2 library more robuest so that e2fsck won't coredump on |
| 4283 | an illegal superblock where the blocksize is zero. (f_crashdisk is |
| 4284 | the test case). |
| 4285 | |
| 4286 | By default, create filesystems where the default checkinterval is 6 |
| 4287 | months (180 days). Linux servers can be robust enough that 20 reboots |
| 4288 | can be a long, long time. |
| 4289 | |
| 4290 | Added configure flag --enable-old-bitops, which forces the bitops to |
| 4291 | use the old (native) bitmask operations. By default on the sparc |
| 4292 | platform, the standard ext2 bit ordering is now used. |
| 4293 | |
| 4294 | Added a new feature to e2fsck to byte-swap filesystems; this can be |
| 4295 | used to convert old m68k filesystems to use the standard byte-order |
| 4296 | storage for the superblock, inodes, and directory blocks. This |
| 4297 | function is invoked by using the '-s' option to e2fsck. |
| 4298 | |
| 4299 | Debugfs's "dump" command has been enhanced so that it writes out the |
| 4300 | exact size of the file so that the nulls at the end of the file are |
| 4301 | eliminated. The command also accept a new "-p" option which will |
| 4302 | attempt preserve to preserve the ownernship, permissions, and |
| 4303 | file modification/access times. |
| 4304 | |
| 4305 | Debugfs has two new options, -f and -R. The -R option allows the user |
| 4306 | to execute a single debugfs command from the command line. The -f |
| 4307 | option allows the user to specify a "command file" containing debugfs |
| 4308 | commands which will get executed. |
| 4309 | |
| 4310 | Dumpe2fs now pretty prints the check interval, instead of just |
| 4311 | printing the check interval as a number of seconds. |
| 4312 | |
| 4313 | Fix bugs in debugfs: the params command when no filesystem is opened |
| 4314 | no longer causes a core dump. It is now possible to unlink a file |
| 4315 | when a pathame containing a '/' is specified. |
| 4316 | |
| 4317 | Tune2fs has a new -C option which sets the number of times the |
| 4318 | filesystem has been mounted. |
| 4319 | |
| 4320 | Fix the chattr '-v' option so that it actually works. Chattr was |
| 4321 | being buggy about the -v option parsing. |
| 4322 | |
| 4323 | Programmers' notes: |
| 4324 | ------------------- |
| 4325 | |
| 4326 | The directory lib/uuid contains a set of library routines to generate |
| 4327 | DCE compatible UUIDs. |
| 4328 | |
| 4329 | Extended ext2fs_namei() to handle symbolic links. Added new function |
| 4330 | ext2fs_nami_follow() which will follow last symbolic link in the case |
| 4331 | where the pathname points to a sym link. |
| 4332 | |
| 4333 | The ext2fs_block_iterate function will now return the HURD translator |
| 4334 | block, if present. The new flag BLOCK_FLAG_DATA_ONLY will cause the |
| 4335 | iterator to return data blocks only. The ext2fs.h file now defines |
| 4336 | constants BLOCK_COUNT_IND, BLOCK_COUNT_DIND, BLOCK_COUNT_TIND, and |
| 4337 | BLOCK_COUNT_TRANSLATOR, which are the magic values passed in the block |
| 4338 | count field of the iterator callback function. |
| 4339 | |
| 4340 | The test script driver now takes an optional second argument, which is |
| 4341 | the test case to be run. This allows you to run a test case without |
| 4342 | needing to run the entire test suite. |
| 4343 | |
| 4344 | On Linux ELF systems, install the .so files in the correct places |
| 4345 | (/usr/lib). The .so files must be stored in the same directory as the |
| 4346 | .a files. |
| 4347 | |
| 4348 | Fixed miscellaneous HURD compilation issues with header file being |
| 4349 | included in the right order. |
| 4350 | |
| 4351 | Fixed debugfs so that it resets optind to zero, not one, since setting |
| 4352 | optind to zero is more correct. |
| 4353 | |

Theodore Ts'o | a4d0961 | 1997-04-29 14:28:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4355 | E2fsprogs 1.04 (May 16, 1996) |
| 4356 | ============================= |
| 4357 | |
| 4358 | First "official" (1.03 was a limited release only) to support building |
| 4359 | e2fsprogs under Linux 2.0 kernels (as well as late model 1.3 and 1.99 |
| 4360 | kernels). |
| 4361 | |
| 4362 | This package includes a RPM specs file, that it can be built using the |
| 4363 | RedHat Package Manager. |
| 4364 | |
| 4365 | E2fsck now prints a hint that if there are lots of incorrectly located |
| 4366 | inode bitmaps, block bitmaps, and inode table blocks, the user might |
| 4367 | want to try using e2fsck -b 8193 first, to see if that fares any |
| 4368 | better. |
| 4369 | |
| 4370 | For ext2 filesystem written with the hurd, debugfs will now print out |
| 4371 | the translator field when printing an inode structure. |
| 4372 | |
| 4373 | Lots of miscellaneous linking/installation cleanups: |
| 4374 | |
| 4375 | Libraries are now linked using a relative pathname, instead of |
| 4376 | relying on -L working correct. It doesn't, in many cases, including |
| 4377 | current versions of GNU ld. This guarantees that the build tree is |
| 4378 | linking with the right libraries, instead of the ones installed in |
| 4379 | /usr/lib. |
| 4380 | |
| 4381 | Header files, man pages, and the et/ss shell scripts are now |
| 4382 | generated using a custom substitution script, instead of relying on |
| 4383 | the configure script. This prevents needless recompilation of |
| 4384 | files; in addition, the custom substitution script is much faster. |
| 4385 | |
| 4386 | e2fsck may now be linked dynamically, by using the |
| 4387 | --enable-dynamic-e2fsck flag to configure. This is not recommended, |
| 4388 | since it increases e2fsck's dependence on other files, but some |
| 4389 | people need to save disk space, and other critical programs on their |
| 4390 | systems were being linked dynamically anyway. |
| 4391 | |
| 4392 | Programs such as fsck which didn't need to be linked against |
| 4393 | libext2fs (or mke2fs which didn't need to be linked against libe2p) |
| 4394 | only link against libraries they actually need. Otherwise, those |
| 4395 | programs would require the presense of libraries that otherwise |
| 4396 | could be removed from a rescuse diskette. |
| 4397 | |
| 4398 | The ss include files are now installed correctly so they can |
| 4399 | actually be used by another package. |
| 4400 | |
| 4401 | If the profiling libraries are built, they are now installed on a |
| 4402 | "make install-libs". |
| 4403 | |
| 4404 | |

| 4406 | =============================== |
| 4407 | |
| 4408 | Change the m68k bit numbering for bitmasks to match the bit numbering |
| 4409 | used by all other ext2 implementations. (This change was requested by |
| 4410 | the m68k kernel development team.) |
| 4411 | |
| 4412 | Support (in-development) filesystem format revision which supports |
| 4413 | (among other things) dynamically sized inodes. |
| 4414 | |
| 4415 | Fixed a bug in the ext2 library so that an intelligent error is |
| 4416 | returned if mke2fs is run with a ridiculously small number of blocks |
| 4417 | for a partition. |
| 4418 | |
| 4419 | Fixed a bug in the ext2 library which required that the device be |
| 4420 | openable in read/write mode in order to determine its size. This |
| 4421 | caused e2fsck -n to require read/write access when it was not |
| 4422 | previously necessary. |
| 4423 | |
| 4424 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which casued it to occasionally fail the test |
| 4425 | suite depending on which version of the floating point library it was |
| 4426 | using. |
| 4427 | |
| 4428 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck so that it now halts with a fatal error when |
| 4429 | certain superblock consistency checks fail. Previously it continued |
| 4430 | running e2fsck, with some potential confusing/damaging consequences. |
| 4431 | |
| 4432 | Added new flag to fsck which allows the root to be checked in parallel |
| 4433 | with other filesytems. This is not the safest thing in the world to |
| 4434 | do, but some system administrators really wanted it. |
| 4435 | |
Theodore Ts'o | fc6d9d5 | 1997-04-29 14:51:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4436 | Fixed -Wall flames in lib/ss. |
| 4437 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 74becf3 | 1997-04-26 14:37:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 4438 | |
| 4439 | E2fsprogs 1.02 (January 16, 1996) |
| 4440 | ================================= |
| 4441 | |
| 4442 | Fix to allow e2fsprogs to be compiled on recent 1.3 (pl45+) kernels. |
| 4443 | |
| 4444 | Change e2fsck to print statistics of how many non-contiguous files are |
| 4445 | on the system. Note that a file which is larger than 8k blocks, it is |
| 4446 | guaranteed to be non-contiguous. |
| 4447 | |
| 4448 | In mke2fs, print a warning message if a user tries to format a whole |
| 4449 | disk (/dev/hda versus /dev/hda1). If a user really wants to format a |
| 4450 | whole disk, the -F (force) option forces mke2fs to format a whole disk |
| 4451 | as a filesytem. |
| 4452 | |
| 4453 | Fix a bug in fsck where in some cases it might start checking |
| 4454 | partitions in the next pass before it finishes checking partitions in |
| 4455 | the current pass. This still won't cause two partitions on the same |
| 4456 | disk will be checked, so it's rarely a problem in real life. |
| 4457 | |
| 4458 | Patch lsattr so that it won't hang when checking a named pipe. |
| 4459 | |
| 4460 | Minor compilation fixes: |
| 4461 | * Fix the order of libraries that were linked in debugfs. |
| 4462 | * Allow the sources to be compiled with -ansi turned on. |
