Theodore Ts'o | de25d9c | 2014-07-09 23:44:51 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1 | E2fsprogs 1.42.11 (July 9, 2014) |
| 2 | ================================ |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Add support so that mke2fs can create hugefiles so that they are |
| 5 | aligned relative to the beginning of the disk, instead of relative to |
| 6 | the beginning of the partition, using the mke2fs.conf configuration |
| 7 | parameter "hugefiles_align_disk". |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Fix a bug which causes e2fsck to abort a journal replay on a file |
| 10 | system with bigalloc enabled. (Addresses Debian Bug: #744953) |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Add sanity checks so that mke2fs will refuse insanely large flex_bg |
| 13 | counts specified by the -G option. Insanely large flex_bg sizes can |
| 14 | result in a file system which can't be unmounted, or with extremely |
| 15 | pessimal metadata layouts. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | The mke2fs program will provide a better metadata layout for |
| 18 | moderately large (but believable) flex_bg counts, such as 133,072. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | The mke2fs progam will also check the kernel version number to |
| 21 | determine whether the lazy_itable_init option is supported, so that |
| 22 | lazy inode table initialization can be used even if the ext4 is |
| 23 | compiled as a module which isn't loaded at the time that mke2fs is |
| 24 | run. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Add description of ext4's mount options to the ext4 section 5 man |
| 27 | page. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Improve the chattr man page and clean up the chattr usage message. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | E2fsck will now automatically fix a last mount time or last write time |
| 32 | which is in the future in preen mode, instead of aborting the fsck |
| 33 | check. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | Mke2fs will now check the file system revision number requested by the |
| 36 | command line, and reject it if it is too large. A file system with an |
| 37 | unsupported revision number will not be accepted by any of the other |
| 38 | file system tools, and this command line option is rarely used, so |
| 39 | let's try to help the user not shoot their own foot off. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | The debugfs progam can now set the error count and associated |
| 42 | first_error and last_error fields in the superblock using the |
| 43 | set_super_value command. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | Resize2fs will not try to calculate the minimum size of a file system |
| 46 | if it contains errors. Otherwise a very badly corrupted file system |
| 47 | image can cause the minimum size calculation to loop forwever. Since |
| 48 | resize2fs will not allow a file system marked as containing errors to |
| 49 | be resized. It's pointless to calculate the minimum size, so just |
| 50 | skip it. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | Fixed a typo in one of mke2fs's error message. |
| 53 | |
| 54 | If filefrag runs into an error, it will continue processing the rest |
| 55 | of the files specified on thec ommand line, but then exit with an |
| 56 | error code. |
| 57 | |
| 58 | Filefrag now prints some additional new flags (such as |
| 59 | FIEMAP_EXTENT_ENCODED), and print unknown flags as hex values. |
| 60 | |
| 61 | Fixed support in filefrag for files with > 2**32 blocks on 32-bit |
| 62 | platforms. |
| 63 | |
| 64 | Fixed a file descriptor leak in debugfs when copying files. |
| 65 | |
| 66 | Fixed a regression introduced in 1.42.10 which caused mke2fs to fail |
| 67 | to create file systems larger than 2GB on 32-bit platforms. |
| 68 | (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #1099892, Debian Bug: #752107) |
| 69 | |
| 70 | Add Esparanto and Ukrainian translations, and update Czech, Dutch, |
| 71 | French, German, Italian, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese |
| 72 | translations. |
| 73 | |
| 74 | Fixed various compiler warnings. |
| 75 | |
| 76 | |
| 77 | Programmer's Notes |
| 78 | ------------------ |
| 79 | |
| 80 | The gcc "-checker" option has been long deprecated, so remove support |
| 81 | from e2fsprogs. It was causing a few people to be confused when they |
| 82 | tried enabling the configure option. |
| 83 | |
| 84 | Update to the latest version of the config.status and config.rpath |
| 85 | files, as well as newer versions of the autoconf files in aclocal.m4. |
| 86 | Also, move the e2fsprogs-specific macros to acinclude.m4, which allows |
| 87 | people who want to use autoreconf to do so. |
| 88 | |
| 89 | Make the use of strptime() function in debugfs to be more portable to |
| 90 | fix regression test failures for FreeBSD and MacOS. |
| 91 | |
| 92 | A few miscellaneous changes designed to make life easier for |
| 93 | translators. |
| 94 | |
| 95 | Fix the f_quota test and some Makefile dependencies if quota support |
| 96 | is not enabled. |
| 97 | |
| 98 | Fix cross-compilation support, which got broken in 1.42.10. |
| 99 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #753375) |
| 100 | |
| 101 | Delete lib/ext2_types.h on a make clean, and build it as necessary. |
| 102 | |
| 103 | Add a debug program used for libext2fs unit tests. |
| 104 | |
| 105 | Clean up the tests so that it avoids using GNU-specific behaviour in |
| 106 | mktemp. Make sure the temporary files are cleaned up if the tests are |
| 107 | interrupted. |
| 108 | |
| 109 | Add a new ext2fs_close_free() helper function which automatically |
| 110 | takes care of freeing the ext2_filsys structure even if ext2fs_close() |
| 111 | returns an error. |
| 112 | |
| 113 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 9779e29 | 2014-05-18 21:51:21 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 114 | E2fsprogs 1.42.10 (May 18, 2014) |
| 115 | ================================ |
| 116 | |
| 117 | Mke2fs now creates file systems in regular files (which is very often |
| 118 | used when maintaining virtual machine images) without requiring the |
| 119 | user to use the force option. In addition, the mke2fs output has been |
| 120 | made much less verbose and only displays information that users will |
| 121 | be more likely to find useful by default. |
| 122 | |
| 123 | Mke2fs now will ask the user to confirm that they want to continue |
| 124 | before wiping out a pre-existing file system, partition table, or LVM |
| 125 | physical volume. |
| 126 | |
| 127 | Mke2fs now has the ability to create file systems where all the |
| 128 | metadata is located at the very beginning of the device. This can be |
| 129 | useful for flash devices which have SLC flash at the beginning of the |
| 130 | disk, for FAT compatibility, for example. As part of this, mke2fs and |
| 131 | tune2fs can control the location of the data blocks used by the |
| 132 | journal inode. In addition, the new sparse_super2 feature allows for |
| 133 | even fewer (anywhere from zero to two) backup superblocks. |
| 134 | |
| 135 | Mke2fs now uses much less CPU when allocating the blocks used for very |
| 136 | large file systems. |
| 137 | |
| 138 | Mke2fs can now support creating a file system at an offset. This can |
| 139 | be useful when creating a disk image for virtual machines (Addresses |
| 140 | Debian Bug: #497984) |
| 141 | |
| 142 | Previously, e2fsck had a number of very serious bugs when checking a |
| 143 | file system wich used the new the quota file system option (where the |
| 144 | quota inodes were stored in hidden inodes) and the quota inode was |
| 145 | inconsistent with the actual usage data. This problem was documented |
| 146 | in https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Quota. These problems have |
| 147 | been fixed in 1.42.10, so the quota should be safe to use with |
| 148 | e2fsprogs 1.42.10. |
| 149 | |
| 150 | Fixed in a bug in resize2fs which could cause shrink operation fail in |
| 151 | the unlikely situation when the inode table needs to be moved to a |
| 152 | location before the current location. |
| 153 | |
| 154 | Resize2fs now has a much more accurate (and less conservative) |
| 155 | estimation of how far the file system can be shrunk. This allows a |
| 156 | mostly empty filesystem which is a few terabytes, to be shrunk to a |
| 157 | few megabytes in a single resize2fs -M operation. |
| 158 | |
| 159 | E2fsck will now force a full file system check if there are any file |
| 160 | system inconsistencies detected in the super block. |
| 161 | |
| 162 | The filefrag program will now display hte shared extent flag, which is |
| 163 | used by file systems such as btrfs. |
| 164 | |
| 165 | If the number of inodes in the file systems is larger than the time |
| 166 | that file sytem was created (as measured by the number of seconds |
| 167 | since January 1, 1970) e2fsck would print a scary (but otherwise |
| 168 | harmless) warning of file system corruption for each inode in the |
| 169 | orphan list. This false positive has been fixed. |
| 170 | |
| 171 | The e4defrag program has been fixed so it will no longer refuse with |
| 172 | filesystem with the 64-bit or the bigalloc feature enabled. |
| 173 | |
| 174 | The logsave progam will print a much less scary message which could |
| 175 | lead users to believe something has gone very wrong with e2fsck exits |
| 176 | with a non-zero exit status (since this is normal after e2fsck has |
| 177 | automatically fixed a file system corruption during a preen |
| 178 | operation). (Addresses Debian Bug: #468821) |
| 179 | |
| 180 | When creating a file system which is larger than 16TB, the |
| 181 | resize_inode option must be disabled -- since the resize_inode simply |
| 182 | doesn't support reserving metadata block numbers which is larger than |
| 183 | 32 bits. The mke2fs program does this automatically if the file |
| 184 | system size is determined automatically. It will now also do this if |
| 185 | the file size is specified explicitly. |
| 186 | |
| 187 | Fixed bugs associated with resize2fs and shrinking bigalloc file |
| 188 | systems. |
| 189 | |
| 190 | The e2fsck program will no longer try to add a UUID on a mounted file |
| 191 | system with checksums enabled, since this could leave the file system |
| 192 | checksums broken. |
| 193 | |
| 194 | Tune2fs will allow the removal of an external journal from file system |
| 195 | which is marked as needing the journal replayed when the force ("-f") |
| 196 | option is given twice. (Addresses Debian Bug: #559301) |
| 197 | |
| 198 | Tune2fs will no longer support enabling sparse_super if the meta_bg |
| 199 | file system feature is enabled, since it could result in data loss. |
| 200 | In practice, all modern file systems have sparse_super is enabled, so |
| 201 | it's not worth trying to change how tune2fs handles enabling the |
| 202 | sparse_super feature. |
| 203 | |
| 204 | Fixed support for 1k block file systems with the meta_bg feature. |
| 205 | |
| 206 | When the superblock is corrupt, e2fsck can't figure out the location |
| 207 | of the alternate superblock. Unfortunately, the routine that |
| 208 | calculates the location of the alternate superblock uses 8193 if it |
| 209 | can't figure this out, so the message printed by e2fsck always |
| 210 | suggests using "e2fsck -b 8193". This message has been fixed to |
| 211 | suggest both the superblock location of 8193 and and 32768. |
| 212 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #719185) |
| 213 | |
| 214 | The lookback mount detection code that was introduced in 1.42.9 wasn't |
| 215 | actually compiled in due to an autoconf oops, so it's fixed now in |
| 216 | 1.42.10. (Addresses Debian Bug: #497984) |
| 217 | |
| 218 | A bug introduced in 1.42.9 would cause debugfs to print two error |
| 219 | messages if it found an error while parsing a user-supplied block |
| 220 | number. This has been fixed in 1.42.10. |
| 221 | |
| 222 | Update Czech, Dutch, French, German, Polish, Spanish, Sweedish, and |
| 223 | Vietnamese translations. (Addresses Debian Bug: #703048) |
| 224 | |
| 225 | Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #719189, |
| 226 | #719184) |
| 227 | |
| 228 | Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues. (Addresses Debian Bug: #718725) |
| 229 | |
| 230 | |
| 231 | Programmer's Notes |
| 232 | ------------------ |
| 233 | |
| 234 | Fixed a lot of coverity, sparce gcc -Wall, and clang warnings/nits. |
| 235 | |
| 236 | Allow the location of pkg-config files to be specified independent of |
| 237 | the libdir location via a makefile variable. |
| 238 | |
| 239 | Fixed parse-types.sh not to complain when cross-compiling and the |
| 240 | sizes of types are different between the target architecture and the |
| 241 | architecture of the build system |
| 242 | |
| 243 | Allow the regression test suite to work correctly on systems which do |
| 244 | not have the "truncate" or "mksawp" programs. |
| 245 | |
| 246 | Allow e2fsck to build correctly on systems (such as Android) that do |
| 247 | not have the signal.h file. |
| 248 | |
| 249 | E2fsprogs now has code coverage testing which can be enbled using |
| 250 | "configure --enable-gcov". |
| 251 | |
| 252 | The libe2p.h header file can now be used included by C++ programs. |
| 253 | |
| 254 | The profile/config file used by e2fsck and mke2fs will interpret |
| 255 | numbers with a leading 0 character to mean that they should be |
| 256 | interpreted as an octal integer. |
| 257 | |
| 258 | The extent handling functions in libext2fs have been improved so they |
| 259 | have proper rollback when there is an error splitting an extent. Also |
| 260 | fix a number of bugs when punching holes in files, and fix an |
| 261 | off-by-one bug when inserting an extent into an empty inode. |
| 262 | |
| 263 | The libext2fs library now handles the support of BLOCK_UNINIT by |
| 264 | clearing the portion of block bitmap when it is loaded, instead of |
| 265 | when it is used. This reduces the chances of bugs, and and simplifies |
| 266 | the code. It also means that debugfs will properly show that blocks |
| 267 | in uninitialized block groups as being unused when using the testb |
| 268 | command. |
| 269 | |
| 270 | The e4defrag program will try to use fadvise64 or posix_fadvise64() if |
| 271 | it is present, which allows 64-bit offsets on 32-bit systems. |
| 272 | |
| 273 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 036a847 | 2013-12-28 22:39:41 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 274 | E2fsprogs 1.42.9 (December 28, 2013) |
| 275 | ==================================== |
| 276 | |
| 277 | Mke2fs will detect an attempt to create a file system on a loop |
| 278 | mounted file and complain without the -FF option. Also fixed mke2fs |
| 279 | so it allows the creation of a file system on a mounted device with |
| 280 | two -F options, as documented in the man page, instead of three -F |
| 281 | options. |
| 282 | |
| 283 | Fixed a large number of bugs in resize2fs, e2fsck, debugfs, and |
| 284 | libext2fs to correctly handle bigalloc and 64-bit file systems. There |
| 285 | were many corner cases that had not been noticed in previous uses of |
| 286 | these file systems, since they are not as common. Some of the bugs |
| 287 | could cause file system corruption or data loss, so users of 64-bit or |
| 288 | bigalloc file systems are strongly urged to upgrade to e2fsprogs |
| 289 | 1.42.9. |
| 290 | |
| 291 | The tune2fs program will now not allow changing the uuid on a mounted |
| 292 | file system which has the uninit_bg feature enabled. This avoids a |
| 293 | nasty race where the kernel and tune2fs are both retrying rewrite the |
| 294 | group descriptors at the same time, with different ideas about what |
| 295 | the UUID should be. |
| 296 | |
| 297 | When e2fsck is rehashing an extent-mapped directory, it's possible |
| 298 | (although very rare) that an extent block will need to be allocated; |
| 299 | fix e2fsck to make sure that the block gets marked as used. |
| 300 | |
| 301 | Mke2fs will now properly set the LARGE_FILE feature when creating a |
| 302 | journal >= 2GB --- which can happen when using 64k block size. |
| 303 | |
| 304 | Fixed debugfs so that its freei command will correctly handle a request |
| 305 | to free a range of consecutive inodes. |
| 306 | |
| 307 | Fixed 2fsck so it will not erroneously complain that an external journal |
| 308 | is invalid if it is exactly 2**32 blocks. |
| 309 | |
| 310 | Fixed e2fsck so it won't try checking for, and adding, a missing |
| 311 | lost+found directory when running in read-only mode. |
| 312 | |
| 313 | Fixed e2image to avoid some buffer overruns which would cause it to when |
| 314 | creating a "standard (non-raw, non-qcow2) image file. Standard |
| 315 | e2image files are actually very rarely used, so we didn't notice when |
| 316 | the changes to enable the qcow2 format broke this e2image mode. |
| 317 | |
| 318 | Fixed mke2fs so that the extended option "-E resize=NNN" will not turn |
| 319 | on the resize_inode feature when the meta_bg feature is set, since |
| 320 | these two features can not be set at the same time. |
| 321 | |
| 322 | Fixed tune2fs so that when it disables the quota feature, it updates all |
| 323 | of the backup superblocks. |
| 324 | |
| 325 | Fixed dumpe2fs that would cause it to abort when run using an image file |
| 326 | when trying to print the journal information (which is not present in |
| 327 | an e2image created image file). |
| 328 | |
| 329 | Fixed a potential integer overflow in e2reefrag. |
| 330 | (Addresses-Debian-Bug: #718205) |
| 331 | |
| 332 | Enhance debugfs so that when copying a sparse file from a native file |
| 333 | system into the file system image using the "write" command, it will |
| 334 | create a sparse file into the destination file system. |
| 335 | |
| 336 | Enhanced debugfs so it can support a command line which is up to 8k |
| 337 | long. |
| 338 | |
| 339 | E2image will refuse (unless the -f option is specified to force the |
| 340 | issue) to create a raw or qcow image using a mounted file system, |
| 341 | unless the -f option is specified to force the issue. |
| 342 | |
| 343 | E2image has been optimized for using it to efficiently copy a file |
| 344 | system by only copying the allocated blocks, by using the options -ra. |
| 345 | New options (-o and -O) have been added so that a source and |
| 346 | destination offset can be given. The -p option will print progress |
| 347 | information so the user will know how far along the copy is going. |
| 348 | And finally, the new option -c is useful for updating a file system on |
| 349 | an SSD, by avoiding unnecessary writes. E2image can also shift a file |
| 350 | system image by doing an in place move. |
| 351 | |
| 352 | Fix a regression introduced in 1.42.8 which would cause e2fsck to |
| 353 | erroneously report uninitialized extents past the EOF (as determined by |
| 354 | i_size) to be invalid. |
| 355 | |
| 356 | Fixed resize2fs so under a corner case when an inode has a complex |
| 357 | extent tree, it will not corrupt an interior node in the extent tree. |
| 358 | |
| 359 | Fixed resize2fs which would sometimes corrupt a file system when |
| 360 | shrinking a file system to a minimum size using resize2fs -M. |
| 361 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #660793) |
| 362 | |
| 363 | Fixed resize2fs so that it will relocate inode table blocks if this |
| 364 | becomes necessary when shrinking the file system. |
| 365 | |
| 366 | Fixed resize2fs and e2fsck so they will not crash when hit a failure |
| 367 | while operating on a file system with the MMP feature enabled. |
| 368 | |
| 369 | Fixed a bug in debugfs which caused it create an invalid inode when |
| 370 | trying to write a zero-length file. |
| 371 | |
| 372 | E2fsck will no longer crash if it tries to delete an invalid |
| 373 | extent-mapped symlink. |
| 374 | |
| 375 | E2fsck will no longer crash if it comes across an directory which is |
| 376 | larger than 2GB (which is not allowed in valid file systems). |
| 377 | |
| 378 | Fixed debugfs's help texts to fully document all options and otherwise |
| 379 | be more helpful. |
| 380 | |
| 381 | Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #586218, |
| 382 | #669730, #698076) |
| 383 | |
| 384 | Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues (#698879, #721365) |
| 385 | |
| 386 | |
| 387 | Programmer's Notes |
| 388 | ------------------ |
| 389 | |
| 390 | Fix sparse, gcc -Wall and clang nits. |
| 391 | |
| 392 | Update config.{guess,sub} to the latest version |
| 393 | |
| 394 | Fixed various memory and file descriptor leaks on various error paths, |
| 395 | as well as some missing error return checks, which were found using |
| 396 | Coverity. |
| 397 | |
| 398 | Run sparse against source files when building e2fsprogs with 'make |
| 399 | C=1'. If instead C=2, it configures basic ext2 types for bitwise |
| 400 | checking with sparse, which can help find the (many many) spots where |
| 401 | conversion errors are (possibly) happening. |
| 402 | |
| 403 | Allow the regression test to be run in chrooted environments where |
| 404 | /etc/mtab might be missing. |
| 405 | |
| 406 | The ext2fs_punch() function, which was introduced in 1.42, was broken |
| 407 | in many ways, but this was never noticed since it wasn't used for |
| 408 | anything significant. Some of the bugs include failing when trying to |
| 409 | punch a completely sparse file, failing when punching an extent-mapped |
| 410 | inode when the starting block was at the beginning of the inode, and |
| 411 | not being able to punch a single block (where start_blk == end_block). |
| 412 | It also didn't handle being passed an invalid, too-large ending block |
| 413 | number, and didn't handle properly terminate at the right place when |
| 414 | operating on an indirect-mapped inode. |
| 415 | |
| 416 | Fixed some minor typo's in the error catalog for libext2fs. |
| 417 | |
| 418 | Fixed ext2fs_file_set_size2() so that if it truncates an inode by |
| 419 | setting the file size, to zero the rest of the block to the end of the |
| 420 | file, so that if an ext4 FUSE driver tries to extended the file, that |
| 421 | we don't avoid stale data from being returned. |
| 422 | |
| 423 | Fixed ext2fs_bmap() to disallow clients from trying to map or set |
| 424 | logical blocks which are larger than what an extent-mapped or indirect |
| 425 | block-mapped inode can allow. |
| 426 | |
| 427 | If debugfs (or some userspace program using libext2fs) creates a file |
| 428 | which is larger than 2GB, make sure the large_file feature flag gets |
| 429 | set. |
| 430 | |
| 431 | Fix a bug in ext2fs_link() where if there is multiple empty slots in the |
| 432 | directory which are large enough, the directory entry could get |
| 433 | inserted more than once in the directory. |
| 434 | |
| 435 | If quota support is disabled (which is the default), make sure that |
| 436 | all traces of the quota support is removed from usage messages, man |
| 437 | pages, and tune2fs must not be able to enable the quota file system |
| 438 | feature. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #1010709) |
| 439 | |
| 440 | The ext2fs_file_write() now updates i_size on a successful write, |
| 441 | instead of only updating i_size wen the file is closed via |
| 442 | ext2fs_file_close(). |
| 443 | |
| 444 | Added a shell script, populate-extfs.sh which uses debugfs to populate |
| 445 | an ext2/3/4 file system image from a given directory. It is similar |
| 446 | to the genext2fs program, but it supports ext3 and ext4 file system. |
| 447 | |
| 448 | Add changes to the libext2fs library to support block group |
| 449 | descriptors larger than 64 bytes (for future compatibility). |
| 450 | |
| 451 | Fixed an off-by-one bug in ext2fs_file_set_size2() so that it will not |
| 452 | leave an extra block in the file when truncating the file down to |
| 453 | size. |
| 454 | |
| 455 | The html version info pages are now built using makeinfo --html |
| 456 | instead of the unmaintained and now-obsolete texi2html program. |

| 461 | |
| 462 | As a part of mke2fs's option parsing cleanup, the use of the -R option |
| 463 | will give a warning that it is depreated (it has been so documented |
| 464 | since 2005) and -E should be used instead. |
| 465 | |
| 466 | Mke2fs will not give warnings about the bigalloc and quota options in |
| 467 | quiet mode. |
| 468 | |

| 471 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 6e2393f | 2013-06-16 18:36:34 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 472 | Debugfs was erroneously giving spurious error messages for certain |
| 473 | extent_inode subcommands which take arguments (split_node, |
| 474 | replace_node, and insert_node). This has been fixed. |
| 475 | |
| 476 | Fix the parsing of the 's' (sectors) in parse_num_blocks2, which among |
| 477 | other programs is used by mke2fs. |
| 478 | |
| 479 | Change mke2fs so that it does not set the root directory to the real |
| 480 | uid/gid of the mke2fs process. Add the extended option root_owner to |
| 481 | override this behavior. |

Theodore Ts'o | 6e2393f | 2013-06-16 18:36:34 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 488 | E2fsck will now detect and repair corrupted extent trees which contain |

| 490 | |
| 491 | E2fsck will now longer complain about zero length extended attribute |
| 492 | values. |
| 493 | |
| 494 | Fix a regression introduced in e2fsprogs v1.42 which caused e2image -s |
| 495 | to crash. |
| 496 | |
| 497 | Add safety check so tune2fs will not attempt to set the inode size to |

| 524 | Optimize CPU utilization of ext2fs_bg_has_super(). |
| 525 | |
| 526 | Fix ext2fs_llseek() on 32-bit i386 systems to work correctly when |

| 528 | |
| 529 | The ext2fs_read_inode_full() function will no longer use |

Theodore Ts'o | 511ba98 | 2013-01-21 22:03:18 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 544 | Add warnings to mke2fs, resize2fs, and tune2fs that the bigalloc and |

Theodore Ts'o | 73c427d | 2013-01-01 17:17:14 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 550 | Add some new options to filefrag from Lustre's patches to e2fsprogs: |
| 551 | * add -k option to print extents in kB-sized units (like df -k) |
| 552 | * add -b {blocksize} to print extents in blocksize units |
| 553 | * add -e option to print extent format, even when FIBMAP is used |
| 554 | * add -X option to print extents in hexadecimal format |
| 555 | |
| 556 | Fix resize2fs so that it can handle off-line resizes of file systems |
| 557 | with the flex_bg feature but without a resize_inode (or if we run out |
| 558 | of reserved gdt blocks). This also fixes a problem where if the user |
| 559 | creates a filesystem with a restricted number of reserved gdt blocks, |
| 560 | an off-line resize which grows the file system could potentially |
| 561 | result in file system corruption. |

| 567 | resizing very large file systems. |
| 568 | |
| 569 | Fixed 32-bit overflow bugs which could cause resize2fs to fail and |
| 570 | possibly corrupt the file system while resizing 64-bit file systems. |
| 571 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 73c427d | 2013-01-01 17:17:14 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 572 | Fix a bug in mke2fs where parsing "-E resize=NNN" will result in a |

| 575 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 8359f62 | 2013-01-16 13:50:12 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 576 | Add better error checking to mke2fs to check for invalid parameters |
| 577 | when creating bigalloc file system. |
| 578 | |
| 579 | When creating bigalloc filesystems, the -g option to mke2fs will now |

| 581 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 73c427d | 2013-01-01 17:17:14 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 582 | Add to debugfs the functionality to corrupt a specific file system |

| 593 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 73c427d | 2013-01-01 17:17:14 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 594 | Fix e2fsck so it can detect and fix inconsistencies in the interior |

| 600 | Fix e2fsck if its logging function is enabled in e2fsck.conf, and the |
| 601 | resulting file name for the log file is longer than 100 bytes, that it |
| 602 | properly handles this situation instead of crashing. |
| 603 | |
| 604 | E2fsck will now report the amount of memory that it attempted to |

| 617 | file system. |
| 618 | |
| 619 | Optimize e2fsck's so that it uses much less CPU for large file |
| 620 | systems. This can result in significant speedups, especially on |
| 621 | CPU-constrained systems. This was primarily done by optimizing |

| 627 | Fixed debugfs's "dump_file" and "cat" functions work correctly |
| 628 | on file systems whose block size is greater than 8k. |
| 629 | |
| 630 | Fix e2freefrag so it works on 64-bit file systems, and so it uses much |

| 652 | |
| 653 | Fix a spelling typo in the libext2fs texinfo documentation. |
| 654 | |
| 655 | Change the output from "make check" so that tools such as emacs's "M-x |
| 656 | compile" does not mistake the output as containing a compiler error. |
| 657 | |
| 658 | Export two new functions from libext2fs: ext2fs_extent_node_split() |
| 659 | and ext2fs_extent_goto2(). |
| 660 | |
| 661 | The ext2fs_extents_fix_parents() was fixed so it does not modify the |
| 662 | location of the extent handle if its current location is at an |
| 663 | interior node, rather than a leaf node of an inode's extent tree. |

| 673 | |
| 674 | The m68k-specific bitops code has been removed since they were |
| 675 | incorrectly treating bit numbers with the high bit set as signed |
| 676 | integers. Furthermore, modern compilers do a good enough job |
| 677 | optimizing the generic code there is no point in having the m68k |
| 678 | specific asm statements. |
| 679 | |
| 680 | Fixed how we link the test programs so they always use the static |
| 681 | libraries, so that we test using the libraries which we have just |

| 683 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 8359f62 | 2013-01-16 13:50:12 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 684 | Update config.guess and config.sub to the latest versions from the GNU |

| 693 | Add a function ext2fs_symlink(), which creates symlinks to the |
| 694 | libext2fs library. |
| 695 | |
| 696 | Add debugging code so we can test old kernel interfaces for online |
| 697 | resize to resize2fs. This backwards compatibility checking is keyed |
| 698 | off of the RESIZE2FS_KERNEL_VERSION, which is designed to allow us to |
| 699 | test the functionality of the kernel's older resize ioctls without |
| 700 | needing to install an old version of resize2fs, and to also test a |

| 706 | ===================================== |
| 707 | |
| 708 | When mke2fs creates file systems with lazy itable initialization, the |
| 709 | progress updates for writing the inode table happens so quickly that |
| 710 | on a serial console, the time to write the progress updates can be the |
| 711 | bottleneck. So mke2fs will now only update its progress indicators |
| 712 | once a second. |
| 713 | |
| 714 | Resize2fs will skip initializing the inode tables if the kernel |
| 715 | supports lazy_itable_init, which speeds up growing off-line growth of |
| 716 | uninit_bg file systems significantly. Resize2fs will now also |
| 717 | correctly set the itable_unused field in the block group descriptor to |
| 718 | speed up the first e2fsck after the file system is grown. |
| 719 | |
| 720 | Resize2fs has been fixed so that on-line resizing of meta_bg file |
| 721 | systems work correctly. This is needed to grow file system which are |
| 722 | larger than 16T. |
| 723 | |
| 724 | Resize2fs will now correctly handle resizing file systems to 16TB on |
| 725 | 32-bit file systems when "16TB" is specified on the command line. |
| 726 | |
| 727 | Fix mke2fs so that it will be careful to set the reserved blocks ratio |
| 728 | larger than 50%; this can happen when creating small file systems and |
| 729 | when the last block group is dropped because there are not enough |
| 730 | blocks to support the metadata blocks in the last block group. |
| 731 | |
| 732 | Fixed spelling mistake in debugfs's help message. |
| 733 | |
| 734 | Fixed a potential seg fault in e2fsck when there is an I/O error while |
| 735 | reading the superblock. |
| 736 | |
| 737 | Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues (Addresses Debian Bug #677497) |
| 738 | |
| 739 | Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: |
| 740 | #3559210) |

| 742 | Programmer's Notes |
| 743 | ------------------ |
| 744 | |
| 745 | The configure option --enable-relative-symlink was broken so that it |
| 746 | needed to be --enable-symlink-relative-symlinks. We will support both |
| 747 | for at least two years, but then the worng configure option will be |
| 748 | removed. |
| 749 | |
| 750 | Fixed a regression introduced in 1.42.5 so the link order for |
| 751 | e2fsprogs' libraries will be correct for both static and shared |
| 752 | linking. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3554345) |

| 765 | ================================ |
| 766 | |
| 767 | Fixed a bug with mke2fs where if there is only 8 inodes per block |
| 768 | group, the calculation of the number of uninitialized inodes in the |
| 769 | first block group would go negative. This resulted in "mke2fs -N 256 |
| 770 | -t ext4 /tmp/foo.img 256m" trying to write so many blocks that /tmp |
| 771 | would run out of space. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3528892) |
| 772 | |
| 773 | Fixed a bug in how e2fsck would uniquify directory entry names. |
| 774 | (AddressesSourceforge Bug: #3540545) |
| 775 | |
| 776 | Previously, e2fsck would only allow a mounted file system to be |
| 777 | checked if it was the root file system and it was mounted read-only. |
| 778 | Now it will allow any file system mounted read-only to be checked if |
| 779 | the -f option is specified. This makes it easier to test how e2fsck |
| 780 | handles checking file systems which are mounted without having to test |
| 781 | on the root file system. |
| 782 | |
| 783 | Fixed a problem if e2fsck where if the root file system is mounted |
| 784 | read-only, e2fsck would not clear an error indication in the journal |
| 785 | superblock. Combined with a kernel bug, this would cause the e2fsck |
| 786 | to check the file system after every single boot. |
| 787 | |
| 788 | The e4defrag program can now handle device symlinks, such as |
| 789 | /dev/mapper/testvg-testlv, instead of insisting on a less |
| 790 | human-friendly name such as /dev/dm-2. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: |

| 792 | |
| 793 | Fixed filefrag so it will not crash with a segfault on files from a |
| 794 | virtual file system such as /proc. (e.g., "filefrag |
| 795 | /proc/partitions") |
| 796 | |
| 797 | Fixed filefrag so that it correctly reports the number of extents. |
| 798 | (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #840848) |
| 799 | |
| 800 | Fixed a file descriptor leak in logsave which could cause it to hang. |
| 801 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #682592) |
| 802 | |
| 803 | Fixed e2fsck so that the file system is marked as containing an error |
| 804 | if the user chooses not to fix the quota usage information. |
| 805 | |
| 806 | Fixed tune2fs so that it correctly removes the quota feature when the |
| 807 | last quota inode is removed. |
| 808 | |
| 809 | Fix tune2fs so that after removing a quota inode, the block bitmap is |
| 810 | updated; otherwise, e2fsck would complain after running 'tune2fs -O |
| 811 | ^quota <dev>'. |
| 812 | |
| 813 | Fix tune2fs so that when converting a file system from using legacy |
| 814 | quota files to the new quota file system feature with hidden quota |
| 815 | files, the accounting for these files is handled correctly so that |
| 816 | e2fsck doesn't complain. |
| 817 | |
| 818 | Improved e2fsck's verbose reporting statistics, and allow the more |
| 819 | verbose reporting to be enabled via /etc/e2fsck.conf. |
| 820 | |
| 821 | Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues (Addresses Debian Bug #678395) |
| 822 | |
| 823 | Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #680114) |

| 827 | ------------------ |
| 828 | |
| 829 | Fixed portability problems on other operating systems (e.g., Hurd and |
| 830 | FreeBsd) caused by the attempted inclusion of <sys/quota.h>. |
| 831 | |
| 832 | Make sure that shared libraries link with the shared libraries built |
| 833 | in the build tree, instead of the system provided libraries. |
| 834 | Previously, libraries and executables were linked with the system |
| 835 | libraries if present, and possibly using static archives instead of |
| 836 | shared libraries. This was also problematic since if libext2fs.so is |
| 837 | linked with a static libcom_err.a from system, the build system would |
| 838 | attempt to link without -lpthread. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: |

Theodore Ts'o | d6a3e41 | 2012-06-12 17:21:38 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 842 | E2fsprogs 1.42.4 (June 12, 2012) |
| 843 | ================================ |
| 844 | |
| 845 | Fixed more 64-bit block number bugs (which could end up corrupting |
| 846 | file systems!) in e2fsck, debugfs, and libext2fs. |
| 847 | |
| 848 | Fixed e2fsck's handling of the journal's s_errno field. E2fsck was |
| 849 | not properly propagating the journal's s_errno field to the superblock |
| 850 | field; it was not checking this field if the journal had already been |
| 851 | replayed, and if the journal *was* being replayed, the "error bit" |
| 852 | wasn't getting flushed out to disk. |
| 853 | |
| 854 | Fixed a false positive complaint by e2fsck if all of the extents in |
| 855 | the last extent tree block are uninitalized and located after the end |
| 856 | of the file as defined by i_size. |
| 857 | |
| 858 | The dumpe2fs will now display the journal's s_errno field if it is |
| 859 | non-zero, and it will also display the journal's 64-bit feature flag |
| 860 | if present. |
| 861 | |
| 862 | Fix e2fsck so that it always opens the device file in exclusive mode |
| 863 | when it might need to modify the file system, and never if the -n |
| 864 | option is specified. (Previously, there were a few corner cases where |
| 865 | it might get things wrong in either direction.) |
| 866 | |
| 867 | E2fsck now correctly truncates or deallocates extent-mapped inodes on |
| 868 | the orphan list. The root cause was a bug in libext2fs's block |
| 869 | iterator which could end up skipping an extent when the last block in |
| 870 | an extent is removed, causing the current extent to be removed from |
| 871 | the extent tree. |
| 872 | |
| 873 | E2fsck now correctly sets the global free block and inode counts when |
| 874 | truncating or removing inodes on the orphan list in preen mode. |
| 875 | Previously, it would leave these values would be set incorrectly, |
| 876 | which is largely a cosmetic issue since the kernel no longer pays |
| 877 | attention to those fields, but it can cause spurious complaints in |
| 878 | subsequent e2fsck runs. |
| 879 | |
| 880 | Fix i_blocks accounting when the libext2fs library needs to add or |
| 881 | remove an extent tree block on bigalloc file systems. |
| 882 | |
| 883 | The lsattr and chattr programs now support the No_COW flag for the |
| 884 | benefit of btrfs. |
| 885 | |
| 886 | Debugfs now interprets date strings of the form @ddd as ddd seconds |
| 887 | after the beginning of the epoch. This is handy when setting an inode |
| 888 | number into the d_time field when debugging orphan list handling. |
| 889 | |
| 890 | Fix a precedence bug with built-in quota support which might result in |
| 891 | e2fsck paying attention to the quota inode field even if the built-in |
| 892 | quota feature flag is not set. Fortunately, in practice that |
| 893 | superblock field should be zero for non-built-in quota file systems, |
| 894 | so it's unlikely this bug would have caused problems. |
| 895 | |
| 896 | Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #674453, |
| 897 | #674694) |
| 898 | |
| 899 | Programmer's Notes |
| 900 | ------------------ |
| 901 | |
| 902 | The regression test suite can now run the integration tests in the |
| 903 | tests directory in parallel, via "make -jN check". |
| 904 | |
| 905 | Add new test, f_zero_extent_length which tests e2fsck's handling of |
| 906 | the case where all of the extents in the last extent tree block are |
| 907 | uninitialized extents after i_size. |
| 908 | |
| 909 | Add a new test, f_jnl_errno, which checks handling of an error |
| 910 | indication set in the journal superblock. |
| 911 | |
| 912 | Fix the test f_jnl_64bit so that it properly checks e2fsck's handling |
| 913 | of a 64-bit journal. |
| 914 | |
| 915 | Add two tests, f_orphan_indirect_inode and f_orphan_extent_inode which |
| 916 | tests e2fsck's handling of orphan inodes in preen mode, and truncation |
| 917 | of extent inodes on the orphan list. |

| 923 | =============================== |
| 924 | |
| 925 | Fix a bug in the Unix I/O manager which could cause corruption of file |
| 926 | systems with more than 16TB when e2fsprogs is compiled in 32-bit mode |
| 927 | (i.e., when unsigned long is 32-bits). Also fix a bug which caused |
| 928 | dumpe2fs to incorrectly display block numbers > 32-bits. |
| 929 | |
| 930 | Improve the support for integrated quota files (where quota is a first |
| 931 | class supported feature using hidden files in the ext4 file system). |
| 932 | Previously the quota file was getting rewritten even when it was not |
| 933 | necessary, and e2fsck would erroneously try to hide quota files which |
| 934 | were already hidden. |
| 935 | |
| 936 | Quiet complaints in e2fsck when the total free blocks or inodes are |
| 937 | incorrect in the superblock after an system crash, since we don't |
| 938 | update nor depend on the superblock summaries at each commit boundary. |
| 939 | |
| 940 | Fixed a regression introduced in 1.42.2 which would cause applications |
| 941 | outside of e2fsprogs which did not pass the EXT2_FLAG_64BIT (and so |
| 942 | would were still using the legacy 32-bit bitmaps) to crash. This was |
| 943 | due to missing 32-bit compat code in side the function |
| 944 | ext2fs_find_first_zero_generic_bmap(). (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: |
| 945 | #808421) |
| 946 | |
| 947 | Fix a bug which would cause mke2fs to fail creating the journal if |
| 948 | /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts are missing. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: |
| 949 | #3509398) |
| 950 | |
| 951 | Updated/fixed various man pages. |
| 952 | |
| 953 | Update Czech, Dutch, French, German, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese |
| 954 | translations |
| 955 | |
| 956 | Fixed various Debian Packaging issues. |
| 957 | |
| 958 | |
| 959 | Programmer's Notes |
| 960 | ------------------ |
| 961 | |
| 962 | Change the nonsensically wrong types in the function signature of the |
| 963 | inline function ext2fs_find_first_zero_block_bitmap2(). This was |
| 964 | caused by a cut and paste error; fortunately no code in e2fsprogs used |
| 965 | this inline function, and there are any users of this functions |
| 966 | outside of e2fsprogs. |
| 967 | |
| 968 | Add support for systems which have valloc(), but which do have |
| 969 | posix_memalign() nor memalign() (such as MacOS 10.5). |
| 970 | |
| 971 | Refactor and clean up the allocation of aligned buffers for Direct I/O |
| 972 | support. Previously some allocations were requesting a greater |
| 973 | alignment factor that what was strictly necessary. Also optimize |
| 974 | reading and writing bitmaps using Direct I/O when the size of the |
| 975 | bitmap did not fully cover the file system blocksize. |
| 976 | |
| 977 | Reserve the codepoints for the INCOMPAT features LARGEDATA and |
| 978 | INLINEDATA. |
| 979 | |
| 980 | Improved the regression test suite by adding some new integration |
| 981 | tests (f_jnl_32bit, f_jnl_64bit) which detect breakage of the on-disk |
| 982 | jbd2 format, as well as f_eofblocks which tests the new handling of |
| 983 | uninitialized and initialized blocks beyond i_size. Also add a new |
| 984 | unit test which verifies 32-bit bitmaps support and the new |
| 985 | find_first_zero primitives. |
| 986 | |
| 987 | Add a few dependencies to fix parallel (make -j) builds. |
| 988 | |
| 989 | Removed bash'isms which were breaking the regression test suite on |
| 990 | systems where /bin/sh is not bash. |
| 991 | |
| 992 | The config.guess and config.sub have been updated to the 2012-02-10 |
| 993 | version. |
| 994 | |
| 995 | Fix a portability problem caused by assuming the present of mntent.h |
| 996 | means that setmntent() exists. Instead, explicitly test for this in |
| 997 | the configure script. |
| 998 | |
| 999 | If the sys/signal.h header file does not exist, don't try to include |
| 1000 | it, since it's not available on all systems. |
| 1001 | |
| 1002 | Add support for systems that do not support getpwuid_r() |
| 1003 | |
| 1004 | The configure script now supports a new option, |
| 1005 | --enable-relative-symlinks, which will install relative symlinks for |
| 1006 | the ELF shared library files. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3520767). |
| 1007 | |
| 1008 | When building BSD shared libraries make sure the LDFLAGS variable is |
| 1009 | passed to the linker. Fixing this allows, for example, e2fsprogs to |
| 1010 | be built in 32-bit mode on Mac OS X Lion (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: |
| 1011 | #3517272) |
| 1012 | |
| 1013 | Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks |

Theodore Ts'o | 70d7281 | 2012-03-27 15:58:00 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1016 | E2fsprogs 1.42.2 (March 27, 2012) |
| 1017 | ================================= |
| 1018 | |
| 1019 | The resize2fs program uses much less CPU and is much faster for very |
| 1020 | large file systems. (Addresses Debian Bug: #663237) |
| 1021 | |
| 1022 | The seti and freei commands in debugfs can now take an optional length |
| 1023 | argument to set and clear a contiguous range of inodes. |
| 1024 | |
| 1025 | E2fsck will now make explicit checks for the EOFBLOCKS_FL, since we |
| 1026 | plan to remove support for it from the kernel file system driver. It |
| 1027 | really wasn't very useful and was causing more problems than it |
| 1028 | solves. Since e2fsck will complain if inodes that should have |
| 1029 | EOFBLOCKS_FL do not have the flag set, we are going to remove this |
| 1030 | check from e2fsprogs first, and then only remove the flag from the |
| 1031 | kernel much later. |
| 1032 | |
| 1033 | The mke2fs program can now use direct I/O via "mke2fs -D". This will |
| 1034 | slow down the mke2fs, but it makes it more polite on a loaded server |
| 1035 | by limiting the amount of memory that gets dirtied by mke2fs when it |
| 1036 | is using buffered I/O. |
| 1037 | |
| 1038 | E2fsck was needlessly closing and re-opening the file system as a side |
| 1039 | effect of adding Multiple Mount Protection (MMP). This isn't |
| 1040 | necessary for non-MMP file systems, so drop it. |
| 1041 | |
| 1042 | Print errors returned by ext2fs_open2() and ext2fs_check_desc() so we |
| 1043 | can more easily diagnose memory allocation failures caused by |
| 1044 | insufficient memory. E2fsck will now abort if there are memory |
| 1045 | allocation failures when the file system is initially opened and |
| 1046 | during the block group descriptor checks. (Addresses Google Bug: |
| 1047 | #6208183) |
| 1048 | |
| 1049 | If there are incorrect block group checks, e2fsck will now report the |
| 1050 | incorrect and corrected checksum values. |
| 1051 | |
| 1052 | The e2fsck progam can now write log files containing the details of |
| 1053 | the problems that were found and fixed directly, via configuration |
| 1054 | parameters in /etc/e2fsck.conf. |
| 1055 | |
| 1056 | Added the ability to limit the number of messages reported by e2fsck |
| 1057 | for a given problem type. This avoids a potential bottleneck if there |
| 1058 | is a serial console which can cause a boot sequence to take a long |
| 1059 | time if e2fsck needs to report many, many file system errors. |
| 1060 | |
| 1061 | The dumpe2fs, debugfs, and tune2fs now use rbtree bitmaps, which cause |
| 1062 | them to use much less memory for large file systems. |
| 1063 | |
| 1064 | The dumpe2fs program will now print the expected block group checksum |
| 1065 | if it is incorrect. This helps to diagnose problems caused by |
| 1066 | incorrect block group checksums. |
| 1067 | |
| 1068 | E2fsck now checks for extents with a zero length, since the kernel |
| 1069 | will oops if it comes accross such a corrupted data structure. (See |
| 1070 | https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42859) |
| 1071 | |
| 1072 | E2fsck has a number of bugs relating to discard that have been fixed. |
| 1073 | (1) Fixed a bug which could cause e2fsck to discard portions of the |
| 1074 | inode table which were actually in use. (2) E2fsck will now avoid |
| 1075 | using discard if the block device doesn't zero data on discard, since |
| 1076 | otherwise this could cause problems if the file system gets corrupted |
| 1077 | in the future. (3) E2fsck will now avoid using discard when it is run |
| 1078 | in read-only mode. (4) Fixed a bug which caused e2fsck to not issue |
| 1079 | discards in the last block group. |
| 1080 | |
| 1081 | E2fsck's CPU utilization in pass 5 has been optimized, which will |
| 1082 | speed up e2fsck slightly. |
| 1083 | |
| 1084 | E2image will now skip copying uninitialized bitmap and inode table |
| 1085 | blocks. |
| 1086 | |
| 1087 | Fixed mke2fs -S so it does not corrupt the first block group's |
| 1088 | information. |
| 1089 | |
| 1090 | E2fsck will now check the new sysfs interface to determine if we are |
| 1091 | using the battery or AC mains. (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #3439277) |
| 1092 | |
| 1093 | Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug: #665427) |
| 1094 | |
| 1095 | Fixed various Debian Packaging issues. (Addresses Debian Bug: #665885) |
| 1096 | |
| 1097 | Programmer's Notes |
| 1098 | ------------------ |
| 1099 | |
| 1100 | Fixed various portability issues for non-Linux systems, particularly |
| 1101 | MacOS X, as well as Linux systems running with the just-released glibc |
| 1102 | 2.15. |
| 1103 | |
| 1104 | Fix file descriptor leak in ext2fs_close() if the file system with |
| 1105 | uninit_bg is opened read/only with a backup superblock. (Addresses |
| 1106 | SourceForge Bug: #3444351) |
| 1107 | |
| 1108 | Fixed an invalid return in a non-void function in the quota code. |
| 1109 | (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #3468423) |
| 1110 | |
| 1111 | Fixed the debian rules file so that the calls to dpkg-buildflags works |
| 1112 | when the shell is dash. |
| 1113 | |
| 1114 | The debian package build now uses V=1 so that there is more |
| 1115 | information about potential build failures in debian buildd logs. |
| 1116 | |
| 1117 | If the uninit flags get cleared by functions such as |
| 1118 | ext2fs_new_inode() or ext2fs_new_block2(), we now make sure the |
| 1119 | superblock is marked dirty and the block group descriptor checksum is |
| 1120 | updated if necessary. |
| 1121 | |
| 1122 | The debian rules file will now try to load debian/rules.custom of it |
| 1123 | exists. This flie can skip various builds for speed reasons if there |
| 1124 | is no need for the e2fsck-static or udeb packages. Available |
| 1125 | customizations in the rules file includes SKIP_STATIC=yes, |
| 1126 | SKIP_BF=yes, and SKIP_DIETLIBC=yes. |
| 1127 | |
| 1128 | In addition, if the file misc/mke2fs.conf.custom.in exists in the |
| 1129 | source tree, it will be used instead of the standard misc.conf file in |
| 1130 | the upstream sources. This makes it easier for Debian-derived systems |
| 1131 | to distribute a custom mke2fs.conf file without having to worry about |
| 1132 | merge issues if future versions of e2fsprogs makes changes in the |
| 1133 | upstream default version of mke2fs.conf. |
| 1134 | |
| 1135 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 91b9ead | 2012-02-17 15:51:43 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1136 | E2fsprogs 1.42.1 (February 17, 2012) |
| 1137 | =================================== |
| 1138 | |
| 1139 | The mke2fs and e2fsck now use significantly less memory when creating |
| 1140 | or checking very large file systems. This was enabled by adding |
| 1141 | extent-based bitmaps which are stored using a red-block tree, since |
| 1142 | block and inode allocations tend to be contiguous. |
| 1143 | |
| 1144 | The command mke2fs -S is used as a last ditch recovery command to |
| 1145 | write new superblock and block group descriptors, but _not_ to destroy |
| 1146 | the inode table in hopes of recovering from a badly corrupted file |
| 1147 | system. So if the uninit_bg feature is enabled, mke2fs -S will now |
| 1148 | set the unused inodes count field to zero. Otherwise, e2fsck -fy |
| 1149 | after using mke2fs -S would leave the file system completely empty. |
| 1150 | |
| 1151 | Since mke2fs recognizes mke3fs in argv[0] to mean "mkfs.ext3", also |
| 1152 | honor "mke4fs" to work the same as "mke2fs.ext4", since RHEL5 has |
| 1153 | installed an mke2fs binary using that name. |
| 1154 | |
| 1155 | The usage and help messages for the -G, -t and -T options in mke2fs |
| 1156 | have been fixed. |
| 1157 | |
| 1158 | If e2fsck needs to use the backup group descriptors, the |
| 1159 | ext2fs_open2() function clears the UNINIT bits to ensure all of the |
| 1160 | inodes in the file systems get scanned. However, the code which reset |
| 1161 | the UNINIT flags did not also recalculate the checksum, which produced |
| 1162 | many spurious (and scary) e2fsck messages. This has been fixed by |
| 1163 | resetting cheksums when the UNINIT bits are cleared. |
| 1164 | |
| 1165 | Relax a check in e2fsck which required that the block bitmap to be |
| 1166 | initialized when the inode bitmap is in use. This will allow us to |
| 1167 | eventually eliminate code from the kernel which forcibly initialized |
| 1168 | the block bitmap when the inode bitmap is first used, requiring an |
| 1169 | extra journal credit and disk write. (Addresses Google Bug: #5944440) |
| 1170 | |
| 1171 | Make sure rdebugfs (which may be installed setuid or setgid disk) does |
| 1172 | not honor environment variables if euid != uid or egid != gid. |
| 1173 | |
| 1174 | Debugfs's ncheck command has been optimized and now is much more |
| 1175 | robust with faced with corrupted file systems. The ncheck command |
| 1176 | also now has a -c option which will verify the file type information |
| 1177 | in the directory entry to see if matches the inode's mode bits. This |
| 1178 | is extremely useful when trying to use debugsfs to determine which |
| 1179 | parts of the file system metadata can be trusted. |
| 1180 | |
| 1181 | E2image will try to use ftruncate64() to set the i_size for raw |
| 1182 | images, instead of writing a single null byte. This avoid allocating |
| 1183 | an extra block to the raw image, for those file systems and/or |
| 1184 | operating systems that support this. (Linux does.) In addition, fix |
| 1185 | a logic bug that caused the file to not be properly extended if the |
| 1186 | size of the last hole was exactly an multiple of a megabyte. |
| 1187 | |
| 1188 | Fixed a bug in resize2fs where for 1k and 2k file systems, where |
| 1189 | s_first_data_block is non-zero, this wasn't taken into account when |
| 1190 | calculate the minimum file system size for use with the -M option. |
| 1191 | |
| 1192 | Fixed the badblocks program to honor the -s flag when in read-only -t |
| 1193 | mode. (Addresses Debian Bug #646629) |
| 1194 | |
| 1195 | Update Czech, Dutch, French, Polish, and Sweedish translation from the |
| 1196 | Translation Project. |
| 1197 | |
| 1198 | Fixed various Debian Packaging issues so that dpkg-buildflags is used |
| 1199 | if present, which allows e2fsprogs to be built with security hardening |
| 1200 | flags. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #654457) |
| 1201 | |
| 1202 | Programmer's Notes |
| 1203 | ------------------ |
| 1204 | |
| 1205 | Fix a bug in ext2fs_clear_generic_bmap() when used for 32-bit bitmaps. |
| 1206 | This was only an issue for programs compiled against e2fsprogs 1.41 |
| 1207 | that manipulate bitmaps directly. (Addresses Sourceforge Bugs: |
| 1208 | #3451486) |
| 1209 | |
| 1210 | The libext2fs library now uses sysconf() to fetch the page size, instead |
| 1211 | of the deprecated getpagesize(). |
| 1212 | |
| 1213 | The ext2fs_get_pathname() function will return a partial path if an a |
| 1214 | directory in the path is not a directory, displaying it as an inode |
| 1215 | number in angle brackets instead of giving up and displaying an error. |
| 1216 | This is much more helpful when a user is trying to debug a corrupted |
| 1217 | file system. |
| 1218 | |
| 1219 | Codepoints for the RO_COMPAT_REPLICA feature has been reserved. |
| 1220 | |
| 1221 | Added a new library function, ext2fs_file_get_inode_num(), for use by |
| 1222 | fuse2fs. |
| 1223 | |
| 1224 | Fixed a bug in ext2fs_file_set_size2() so that when it is truncating a |
| 1225 | file, it actually works. |
| 1226 | |
| 1227 | The block iterator now properly honors the BLOCK_ABORT flag for |
| 1228 | extent-based flags. Previously, it didn't, which generally made code |
| 1229 | be less efficient, but it could cause bugs in ext2fs_link(), for |
| 1230 | example, by causing it to insert multiple directory entries. |
| 1231 | |
| 1232 | Fixed an (harmless other than causing a compiler warning) use of an |
| 1233 | uninitialized variable in e2fsck's MMP code. |
| 1234 | |

| 1237 | ================================== |
Theodore Ts'o | c0b3deb | 2011-07-02 23:26:20 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1238 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c2ac6c5 | 2011-10-01 00:10:24 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1239 | This release of e2fsprogs has support for file systems > 16TB. Online |
| 1240 | resize requires kernel support which will hopefully be in Linux |
| 1241 | version 3.2. Offline support is not yet available for > 16TB file |
| 1242 | systems, but will be coming. |
Theodore Ts'o | c0b3deb | 2011-07-02 23:26:20 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1243 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2406de5 | 2011-09-16 10:46:47 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1244 | This release of e2fsprogs has support for clustered allocation. This |
| 1245 | reduces the number of block (now cluster) bitmaps by allocating and |
| 1246 | deallocating space in contiguous power-of-2 collections of blocks, |
| 1247 | which are called clustered. This is a file system level feature, |
| 1248 | called 'bigalloc', which must be enabled when the file system is |
| 1249 | initially formatted. It is not backwards compatible with older |
| 1250 | kernels. |
| 1251 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 8a0ef9e | 2011-09-25 01:52:03 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1252 | Added support for the Multi-Mount Protection (MMP) feature. |
| 1253 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 499d5ec | 2011-11-29 16:06:58 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1254 | E2fsck more efficiently uses scratch files for really big file |
| 1255 | systems. (This is a feature that has to be turned on explicitly; see |
| 1256 | [scratch_files] in the e2fsck.conf man page.) |
| 1257 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c0b3deb | 2011-07-02 23:26:20 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1258 | Fix a bug in e2fsck where if the free blocks and inodes counts are |
| 1259 | incorrect, e2fsck would fix them without printing an error message. |
| 1260 | This would cause a "*** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***" message without |
| 1261 | any explanation of what was fixed. |
| 1262 | |
| 1263 | E2fsck will no longer attempt to clone an extended attribute block in |
| 1264 | pass1b handling if the file system does not support extended |
| 1265 | attributes. |
| 1266 | |
| 1267 | E2fsck will be more careful accidentally asking the user to continue |
| 1268 | if the file system is mounted, so that an escape sequence won't cause |
| 1269 | a false positive. (Addresses Debian Bug: #619859) |
| 1270 | |
| 1271 | E2fsck now uses less cpu time in pass 5 when large portions of the |
| 1272 | bitmaps are uninitialized. |
| 1273 | |
| 1274 | E2fsck will no longer segault when a corrupted file system has a bad |
| 1275 | extent, and removing it leads to a block needing to be deallocated. |
| 1276 | (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #2971800) |
| 1277 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2406de5 | 2011-09-16 10:46:47 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1278 | E2fsck will catch termination signals (segfaults, bus errors, sigfpe) |
| 1279 | and print debugging information to make it easier to find potential |
| 1280 | problems. |
| 1281 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c2ac6c5 | 2011-10-01 00:10:24 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1282 | E2fsck will check to see if the bad block inode looks insane, and will |
| 1283 | skip trying to use if it certain fields which should be zero look |
| 1284 | non-zero. This is to avoid a corrupted bad block inode causing e2fsck |
| 1285 | to get confused and do more harm than good. |
| 1286 | |
| 1287 | If e2fsck modifies certain superblock fields which the kernel doesn't |
| 1288 | look at, it will now mark the superblock as dirty without marking the |
| 1289 | file system as changed. This avoids signalling the init scripts that |
| 1290 | a reboot is necessary, since the kernel isn't going to look at those |
| 1291 | fields, so it won't care if they have been changed. |
| 1292 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2406de5 | 2011-09-16 10:46:47 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1293 | Fixed a bug in the libext2fs library (in the binary search routine of |
| 1294 | the icount abstraction) that could (very, very rarely) cause e2fsck to |
| 1295 | die in the middle of pass 1 or pass 2 processing. |
| 1296 | |
| 1297 | E2fsck will not try to do a discard operation if the -n option was |
| 1298 | specified on the command line. |
| 1299 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c0b3deb | 2011-07-02 23:26:20 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1300 | E2fsck now supports an extended "discard" option which will cause |
| 1301 | e2fsck to attempt discard all unused blocks after a full, successful |
| 1302 | file system check. |
| 1303 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c2ac6c5 | 2011-10-01 00:10:24 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1304 | E2fsck will check for the bad block inode to make sure it looks sane |
| 1305 | before trusting it, to avoid causing more harm than good to the file |
| 1306 | system. |
| 1307 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 3a4ab83 | 2011-11-20 22:15:34 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1308 | E2fsck now returns additional status bits in its exit code if it |
| 1309 | aborts early in the e2fsck run. |
| 1310 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 499d5ec | 2011-11-29 16:06:58 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1311 | E2fsck now correctly calculates the maximum file size in the case of |
| 1312 | the huge_file file system feature enabled without extents. |
| 1313 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2406de5 | 2011-09-16 10:46:47 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1314 | The mke2fs and e2fsck programs now tries to use the punch hole command |
| 1315 | as a "discard" when operating on normal files. |
| 1316 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c0b3deb | 2011-07-02 23:26:20 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1317 | The e2image program now supports the qcow2 format, which is a more |
| 1318 | efficient way of capturing file system dumps. |
| 1319 | |
| 1320 | Mke2fs now supports the [devices] stanza in mke2fs.conf which allows |
| 1321 | per-device defaults to be specified in the configuration file. |
| 1322 | |
| 1323 | Mke2fs now supports the reserved_ratio relation in the [defaults] and |
| 1324 | [fs_types] section in mke2fs.conf. |
| 1325 | |
| 1326 | Mke2fs now creates extent-mapped directories for the root and |
| 1327 | lost+found directories. |
| 1328 | |
| 1329 | Mke2fs will skip zero'ing the journal if the extended option |
| 1330 | "lazy_journal_init" is specified. This can save a lot of time, but it |
| 1331 | does add a small amount of risk if the system crashes before the |
| 1332 | journal is overwritten entirely once. It is epsecially useful for |
| 1333 | testing. |
| 1334 | |
| 1335 | Mke2fs will now create file systems that enable user namespace |
| 1336 | extended attributes and with time- and mount count-based file |
| 1337 | system checks disabled. |
| 1338 | |
| 1339 | Mke2fs will not set a stride or strip size of one block based on block |
| 1340 | device attributes obtained from sysfs. |
| 1341 | |
| 1342 | Mke2fs now displays a progress report during the discard process. |
| 1343 | |
| 1344 | Mke2fs now handles extreme file system parameters correctly which |
| 1345 | previously caused the inodes per group to drop below 8, leading to a |
| 1346 | segfault. (The inodes per group must be a multiple of 8, but the code |
| 1347 | didn't correctly deal with an inodes per group count less than 8.) |
| 1348 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2406de5 | 2011-09-16 10:46:47 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1349 | Mke2fs and tune2fs previously would give an error if the user tried |
| 1350 | setting the stride and stripe-width parameters to zero; but this is |
| 1351 | necessary to disable the stride and stripe-width settings. So allow |
| 1352 | setting these superblock fields to zero. (Addresses Google Bug: |
| 1353 | #4988557) |
| 1354 | |
| 1355 | Mke2fs now gives a warning if the auto-detected block size exceeds the |
| 1356 | system's page size. |
| 1357 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c2ac6c5 | 2011-10-01 00:10:24 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1358 | If the enable_periodic_fsck option is false in /etc/mke2fs.conf (which |
| 1359 | is the default), mke2fs will now set the s_max_mnt_count superblock |
| 1360 | field to -1, instead of 0. Kernels older then 3.0 will print a |
| 1361 | spurious message on each mount then they see a s_max_mnt_count set to |
| 1362 | 0, which will annoy users. (Addresses Debian Bug: #632637) |
| 1363 | |
Theodore Ts'o | fd7c37f | 2011-10-05 02:40:11 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1364 | The default mke2fs.conf now has entries for "big" and "huge", which |
| 1365 | are needed for very big file systems. |
| 1366 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2406de5 | 2011-09-16 10:46:47 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1367 | The resize2fs program now has support for a new online resize ioctl |
| 1368 | that can support file systems > 16TB, once it arrives in v3.x kernels. |
| 1369 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 6b967cd | 2011-10-16 22:12:07 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1370 | Fixed bug which caused resize2fs to fail when shrinking an empty file |
| 1371 | system down to its minimal size. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug #3404051) |
| 1372 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2406de5 | 2011-09-16 10:46:47 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1373 | Fixed tune2fs's mount options parsing. (Addresses Debian Bug: #641667) |
| 1374 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 8a0ef9e | 2011-09-25 01:52:03 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1375 | Allow tune2fs to remove external journals if the device can not be |
| 1376 | found. |
| 1377 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c0b3deb | 2011-07-02 23:26:20 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1378 | Debugfs's icheck will now correctly find inodes which use the |
| 1379 | searched-for block as an extended attribute block. |
| 1380 | |
| 1381 | Debugfs now has a new "punch" command which remove blocks from the |
| 1382 | middle of an inode. |
| 1383 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 3a4ab83 | 2011-11-20 22:15:34 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1384 | Debugfs now has a new "e2freefrag" command which analyzes the free |
| 1385 | space fragmentation of the file system, using the same code as the |
| 1386 | e2freefrag program. |
| 1387 | |
| 1388 | Debugfs now has a "filefrag" command which displays information about |
| 1389 | a file's fragmentation. |
| 1390 | |
| 1391 | Add support to build a metadata-only, read-only, stripped-down version |
| 1392 | of debugfs called rdebugfs. |
| 1393 | |
| 1394 | Fixed a potential stack overrun bug in debugfs. |
| 1395 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c0b3deb | 2011-07-02 23:26:20 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1396 | The badblocks program now correctly recovers from I/O errors when |
| 1397 | direct I/O is being used. The badblocks command now also supports a |
| 1398 | -B option which forces the use of buffered I/O, and the -v option will |
| 1399 | provide a more detailed breakdown of read, write, and failed |
| 1400 | comparison errors. |
| 1401 | |
| 1402 | Added e4defrag tool which uses the EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl. |
| 1403 | |
| 1404 | Added support for journals larger than 2GB. |
| 1405 | |
| 1406 | Support using both hard links and symlinks when installing e2fsprogs. |
| 1407 | |
| 1408 | Add overflow checking to tune2fs -i's fsck interval, which must fit in |
| 1409 | a 32-bit field. |
| 1410 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2406de5 | 2011-09-16 10:46:47 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1411 | The debugfs command now has a new 'blocks' command which prints out |
| 1412 | data blocks of a particular inode in a format which is useful for |
| 1413 | scripting. |
| 1414 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c0b3deb | 2011-07-02 23:26:20 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1415 | Filefrag will report 0 extents correctly in verbose mode. (Addresses |
| 1416 | RedHat Bugzilla: #653234) |
| 1417 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 3871db6 | 2011-10-09 20:49:36 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1418 | Filefrag has been fixed so its -v report prints the correct expected |
Theodore Ts'o | c2ac6c5 | 2011-10-01 00:10:24 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1419 | block number (previously there had been an off-by-one error). In |
| 1420 | addition, it will now display the number of contiguous extents when -v |
| 1421 | is not specified. This makes it consistent with the number of extents |
| 1422 | printed when the -v option was specified. In addition, the number of |
| 1423 | contiguous extents is far more interesting/useful than the number of |
| 1424 | physical extents for very large files. (Addresses Debian Bug: |

Theodore Ts'o | c0b3deb | 2011-07-02 23:26:20 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1433 | Added a useful "fallocate" program to the contrib directory. |

Theodore Ts'o | 2406de5 | 2011-09-16 10:46:47 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1435 | Fixed an ABI compatibility problem in libext2fs which broke the dump |
| 1436 | program. Also added back some macros which dump needed so it could |

| 1500 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2406de5 | 2011-09-16 10:46:47 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1501 | Added a test to make sure the inode size remains constant. |
| 1502 | |
| 1503 | The regression test script now prints the list of which tests failed. |
| 1504 | |
| 1505 | The regression test system now uses /tmp for its scratch files, which |
| 1506 | is often a tmpfs mounted file system and hence much faster. |
| 1507 | |
| 1508 | The i_e2image test was fixed so it works with valgrind. |

| 1527 | ===================================== |
| 1528 | |
| 1529 | Fix spurious complaint in mke2fs where it would complain if the file |
| 1530 | system type "default" is not defined in mke2fs.conf. |
| 1531 | |
| 1532 | The resize2fs program will no longer clear the resize_inode feature |
| 1533 | when the number reserved group descriptor blocks reaches zero. This |
| 1534 | allows for subsequent shrinks of the file system to work cleanly for |
| 1535 | flex_bg file systems. |
| 1536 | |
| 1537 | The resize2fs program now handles devices which are exactly 16T; |
| 1538 | previously it would give an error saying that the file system was too |
| 1539 | big. |
| 1540 | |
| 1541 | E2fsck (and the libext2fs library) will not use the extended rec_len |
| 1542 | encoding for file systems whose block size is less than 64k, for |
| 1543 | consistency with the kernel. |
| 1544 | |
| 1545 | Programming notes |
| 1546 | ----------------- |
| 1547 | |
| 1548 | E2fsprogs 1.41.13 would not compile on big-endian systems. This has |
| 1549 | been fixed. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3138115) |
| 1550 | |
| 1551 | The ext2fs_block_iterator2() function passed an incorrect ref_offset |
| 1552 | to its callback function in the case of sparse files. (Addresses |

Theodore Ts'o | d5b8a1e | 2010-11-22 16:10:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1559 | ===================================== |
| 1560 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d085f61 | 2010-12-13 08:57:14 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1561 | E2fsck now supports the extended option "-E journal_only", which |
| 1562 | causes it to only do a journal replay. This is useful for scripts |
| 1563 | that want to first replay the journal and then check to see if it |
| 1564 | contains errors. |
| 1565 | |
| 1566 | E2fsck will now support UUID= and LABEL= specifiers for the -j option |
| 1567 | (which specifies where to find the external journal). (Addresses |
| 1568 | Debian Bug #559315) |
| 1569 | |
| 1570 | E2fsck now has support for the problems/<problem code>/force_no |
| 1571 | configuration option in e2fsck.conf, which forces a problem to not be |
| 1572 | fixed. |
| 1573 | |
| 1574 | Dumpe2fs will now avoid printing large negative offsets for the bitmap |
| 1575 | blocks and instead print a message which is a bit more helpful for |
| 1576 | flex_bg file systems. |
| 1577 | |
| 1578 | Mke2fs will now check the file system type (specified with the -t |
| 1579 | option) to make sure it is defined in the mke2fs.conf file; if it is |
| 1580 | not, it will print an error and abort. If the usage type (specified |
| 1581 | with the -T option) is not defined in mke2fs.conf, mke2fs will print a |
| 1582 | warning but will continue. (Addresses Debian Bug #594609) |
| 1583 | |
| 1584 | Clarified error message from resize2fs clarifying that on-line |
| 1585 | shrinking is not supported at all. (Addresses Debian Bug #599786) |
| 1586 | |
| 1587 | Fix an e2fsck bug that could cause a PROGRAMMING BUG error to be |
| 1588 | displayed. (Addresses Debian Bug #555456) |
| 1589 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d5b8a1e | 2010-11-22 16:10:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1590 | E2fsck will open the external journal in exclusive mode, to prevent |
| 1591 | the journal from getting truncated while it is in use due to a user |
| 1592 | accidentally trying to run e2fsck on a snapshotted file system volume. |
Theodore Ts'o | d085f61 | 2010-12-13 08:57:14 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1593 | (Addresses Debian Bug #587531) |
Theodore Ts'o | d5b8a1e | 2010-11-22 16:10:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1594 | |
| 1595 | Fix a bug in e2fsck so it has the correct test for the EOFBLOCKS_FL |
| 1596 | flag. |
| 1597 | |
| 1598 | The tune2fs program can now set the uninit_bg feature without |
| 1599 | requiring an fsck. |
| 1600 | |
| 1601 | The tune2fs, dumpe2fs, and debugfs programs now support the new ext4 |
| 1602 | default mount options settings which were added in 2.6.35. |
| 1603 | |
| 1604 | The e2fsck and dumpe2fs programs now support the new ext4 superblock |
| 1605 | fields which track where and when the first and most recent file |
| 1606 | system errors occurred. These fields are displayed by dumpe2fs and |
| 1607 | cleared by e2fsck. These new superblock fields were added in 2.6.36. |
| 1608 | |
| 1609 | Debugfs now uses a more concicse format for listing extents in its |
| 1610 | stat command. This format also includes the interior extent tree |
| 1611 | blocks, which previously was missing from stat's output for |
| 1612 | extent-based files. |
| 1613 | |
| 1614 | Debugfs has a new option, -D, which will request Direct I/O access of |
| 1615 | the file system. |
| 1616 | |
| 1617 | Mke2fs will skip initializing the inode table if a device supports |
| 1618 | discard and the discard operation will result in zero'ed blocks. |
| 1619 | |
| 1620 | Badblocks will now correctly backspace over UTF-8 characters when |
| 1621 | displaying its progress bar. (Addresses Gentoo Bug #309909; Addresses |
| 1622 | Debian Bugs #583782 and #587834) |
| 1623 | |
| 1624 | E2freefrag will now display the total number of free extents. |
| 1625 | |
| 1626 | Resize2fs -P no longer requires a freshly checked filesystem before |
| 1627 | printing the minimum resize size. |
| 1628 | |
| 1629 | Fixed a floating point precision error in a binary tree search routine |
| 1630 | that can lead to seg fault in e2fsck and resize2fs. |
| 1631 | |
| 1632 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck where if both the original and backup superblock |
| 1633 | are invalid in some way, e2fsck will fail going back to the original |
| 1634 | superblock because it didn't close the backup superblock first, and |
| 1635 | the exclusive open prevented the file system from being reopened. |
| 1636 | |
| 1637 | Fixed a big in e2freefrag which caused getopt parsing to fail on |
| 1638 | architectures with unsigned chars. (Addresses Gentoo Bug: #299386) |
| 1639 | |
| 1640 | Clarified an mke2fs error message so a missed common in an -E option |
| 1641 | (i.e., mke2fs -t ext4 -E stride=128 stripe-width=512 /dev/sda1") |
| 1642 | results in a more understandable explanation to the user. |
| 1643 | |
| 1644 | Mke2fs now displays the correct valid inode ratio range when |
| 1645 | complaining about an invalid inode ratio specified by the user. |
| 1646 | |
| 1647 | Mke2fs now understands the extended option "discard" and "nodiscard", |
| 1648 | and the older option -K is deprecated. The default of whether |
| 1649 | discards are enabled by default can be controled by the mke2fs.conf |
| 1650 | file. |
| 1651 | |
| 1652 | Mke2fs's handling of logical and physical sector sizes has been |
| 1653 | improved to reflect the fact that there will be some SSD's with 8k and |
| 1654 | 16k physical sectors arriving soon. Mke2fs will no longer force block |
| 1655 | size to be the physical sector size, since there will be devices where |
| 1656 | the physical sector size is larger than the system's page size, and |
| 1657 | hence larger than the maximal supported block size. In addition, if |
| 1658 | the minimal and optimal io size are not exported by the device, and |
| 1659 | the physical sector size is larger than the block size, the physical |
| 1660 | sector size will be used to set the Raid I/O optimization hints in the |
| 1661 | superblock. |
| 1662 | |
| 1663 | E2fsck will now display a better, more specific error message when the |
| 1664 | user enters a typo'ed device name, instead of blathering on about |
| 1665 | alternate superblocks. |
| 1666 | |

| 1681 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #604629) |
| 1682 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d5b8a1e | 2010-11-22 16:10:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1683 | Add support for Direct I/O in the Unix I/O access layer. |
| 1684 | |

| 1686 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d085f61 | 2010-12-13 08:57:14 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1687 | Fixed minor memory leaks in mke2fs. |
| 1688 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d5b8a1e | 2010-11-22 16:10:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 1689 | Added a new function to the ext2fs library, ext2fs_get_memalign(). |
| 1690 | |
| 1691 | The tst_super_size test program will check to make sure the superblock |
| 1692 | fields are correctly aligned and will print them out so they can be |
| 1693 | manually checked for correctness. |
| 1694 | |
| 1695 | Fixed some makefile dependencies for test programs in lib/ext2fs. |
| 1696 | |
| 1697 | Reserved the feature flags and superblock fields needed for the Next3 |
| 1698 | snapshot feature. |
| 1699 | |

| 1705 | ================================ |
Theodore Ts'o | b846122 | 2010-05-17 23:54:49 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 1706 | |
| 1707 | Mke2fs now gives a correct error message if the external journal |
| 1708 | device is not found. (Addresses Red Hat Bug #572935) |
| 1709 | |
| 1710 | Resize2fs -P will now refuse to print a minimum size if the file |
| 1711 | system is not clean. Previously it would go ahead and print a minimum |
| 1712 | size anyway, which might not be correct, leading to user confusion. |
| 1713 | |
| 1714 | E2fsck now tests for extents that begin at physical block 0 and |
| 1715 | rejects them as invalid. (Addresses Google Bug: #2573806) |
| 1716 | |
| 1717 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could cause it to crash when trying to |
| 1718 | remove an invalid extent and the block bitmaps hadn't yet been loaded. |
| 1719 | (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #2971800) |
| 1720 | |
| 1721 | E2fsck now will completely skip time-based checks if the system clock |
| 1722 | looks insane or the option broken_system_clock is set in |
| 1723 | /etc/e2fsck.conf. |
| 1724 | |
| 1725 | E2fsck would previously report an i_blocks corruption for a 4T file |
| 1726 | created using posix_fallocate; this bug has been fixed. |
| 1727 | |
| 1728 | E2fsck will now correctly mark a sparse journal as invalid and will |
| 1729 | delete and recreate the journal to address the problem. |
| 1730 | |
| 1731 | E2fsck would previously incorrectly ask the user whether she would |
| 1732 | like to abort the file system check after finding a problem --- and |
| 1733 | then abort regardless of the user's answer. This is annoying, and |
| 1734 | has been fixed. |
| 1735 | |
| 1736 | E2fsck can now continue even if it fails to recreate the resize |
| 1737 | inode; previously it would just abort the file system check |
| 1738 | altogether. |
| 1739 | |
| 1740 | E2fsck could potentially remove directory entries for inodes found in |
| 1741 | the unused region of the inode table; this would generally happen on |
| 1742 | ext4 file systems that do not use journaling. This bug has been fixed |
| 1743 | by not clearing these directory entries once it has been established |
| 1744 | that bg_unused_inodes may not be trustworthy; once pass #2 has been |
| 1745 | completed, e2fsck will restart the file system check from the |
| 1746 | beginning, and then it will be safe to delete any directory entries |
| 1747 | pointing to inodes that appear to be deleted. (Addresses Google Bug: |
| 1748 | #2642165) |
| 1749 | |
| 1750 | E2fsck will not try to set the block group checksums if the user |
| 1751 | cancels the fsck with a control-C. It's a bad idea to set the |
| 1752 | checksums if e2fsck hasn't been completed, and it often results an the |
| 1753 | error message, "Inode bitmap not loaded while setting block group |
| 1754 | checksum info". (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #582035) |
| 1755 | |
| 1756 | The mke2fs program now queries the kernel for the physical as well as |
| 1757 | the logical sector size, and will not allow a blocksize below the |
| 1758 | logical, and will strongly encourage a blocksize at least as big as |
| 1759 | the physical blocksize. This is needed for 4k sector drives that |
| 1760 | emulate 512 byte sector sizes. |
| 1761 | |
| 1762 | Mke2fs will now allow a flex_bg size of 1. This is unusual, and |
| 1763 | rarely needed, but it is a legal value. |
| 1764 | |
| 1765 | E2fsck will check for cases where the EOFBLOCKS_FL is set when it is |
| 1766 | not needed, and offer to clear it; this is a sign of a kernel bug, but |
| 1767 | more importantly, some released kernels may crash when this situation |
| 1768 | is encountered on ext4 file systems. (Addresses Google Bug: #2604224) |
| 1769 | |
| 1770 | E2fsck will use the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag exclusively to check whether |
| 1771 | i_size is correct. (Kernels starting with 2.6.34 will set |
| 1772 | EOFBLOCKS_FL.) |
| 1773 | |
| 1774 | The com_err library will now only output ^M (a CR character) when the |
| 1775 | tty is in raw mode. |
| 1776 | |
| 1777 | Update the Czech, Chinese, Dutch, French, Germany, Indonesian, Polish, |
| 1778 | and Vietnamese translations. |

| 1784 | Programmer's Notes |
| 1785 | ------------------ |
| 1786 | |
| 1787 | The regression test suite now uses its own mke2fs.conf file, so that |
| 1788 | downstream distributions want change the mke2fs.conf file which is |
| 1789 | distributed in the RPM or dpkg file, without worrying about screwing |
| 1790 | up the regression test results. |
| 1791 | |
| 1792 | Always build namei.o so that building with configure --disable-debugfs |
| 1793 | works correctly. Long-term, if we care about reduced e2fsprogs |
| 1794 | builds, we need a more general solution for deciding what .o files are |
| 1795 | needed for a particular build. Given that install floppies are going |
| 1796 | (gone?) the way the dodo bird, we probably don't care, though. |
| 1797 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2911433) |
| 1798 | |
| 1799 | Add configure options --enable-symlink-build and |
| 1800 | --enable-symlink-install, which allow e2fsprogs be built using |
| 1801 | symlinks instad of hard links, and to be installed using symlinks |
| 1802 | instead of hard links, respectively. It is useful when the file |
| 1803 | system where the build is taking place, or the file system where |
| 1804 | e2fsprogs is installed, can't handle hard links for some reason. |

| 1818 | the allocation status of the block <blk>. (Addresses Debian Bug: |
| 1819 | #564084) |
| 1820 | |
| 1821 | E2fsck now prints a much more emphatic and hopefully scary message |
| 1822 | when a file system is detected as mounted while doing a read/write |
| 1823 | check of the filesystem. Hopefully this will dissuade users from |
| 1824 | thinking, "surely that message doesn't apply to *me*" :-( |
| 1825 | |
| 1826 | E2fsck -n will now always open the file system read-only. We now |
| 1827 | disallow certain combination of options which previously were manual |
| 1828 | exceptions; this is bad because it causes users to think they are |
| 1829 | smarter than they really are. So "-n -c", "-n -l", "-n -L", and "-n |
| 1830 | -D" are no longer supported. (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #537483) |
| 1831 | |
| 1832 | In e2fsprogs 1.41.10, mke2fs would ask for confirmation to proceed if |
| 1833 | it detected a badly aligned partition. Unfortunately, this broke some |
| 1834 | distribution installation scripts, so it now just prints the warning |
| 1835 | message and proceeds. (Addresses Red Hat Bug: #569021. Addresses |
| 1836 | Launchpad Bug: #530071) |
| 1837 | |
| 1838 | Mke2fs would take a long time to create very large journal files for |
| 1839 | ext4. This was caused by a bug in ext2fs_block_iterate2(), which is |
| 1840 | now fixed. |
| 1841 | |
| 1842 | E2fsck now understands the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag which will be used in |
| 1843 | 2.6.34 kernels to make e2fsck not complain about blocks deliberately |
| 1844 | fallocated() beyond an inode's i_size. |
| 1845 | |
| 1846 | E2fsprogs 1.41.10 introduced a regression (in commit b71e018) where |
| 1847 | e2fsck -fD can corrupt non-indexed directories when are exists one or |
| 1848 | more file names which alphabetically sort before ".". This can happen |
| 1849 | with ext2 filesystems or for small directories (take less than a lock) |
| 1850 | which contain filenames that begin with a space or some other |
| 1851 | punctuation mark. (Addresses Debian Bug: #573923, Addresses Launchpad |
| 1852 | Bug: #525114) |

| 1855 | Programmer's Notes |
| 1856 | ------------------ |
| 1857 | |
| 1858 | Add new test, f_rehash_dir, which checks to make sure e2fsck -D works |
| 1859 | correctly. |

| 1867 | ==================================== |
| 1868 | |
| 1869 | Fix resize2fs bug which causes it to access invalid memory. |
| 1870 | |
| 1871 | Add libss support for libreadline.so.6. |
| 1872 | |
| 1873 | Fix e2fsck's check for extent-mapped directory with an incorrect file |
| 1874 | type. |
| 1875 | |
| 1876 | Add new e2fsck.conf configuration option, default/broken_system_clock |
| 1877 | to support systems with broken CMOS hardware clocks. Also, since too |
| 1878 | many distributions seem to have broken virtualization scripts now, |
| 1879 | e2fsck will by default accept dates which are off by up to 24 hours by |
| 1880 | default. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #559776, #557636) |
| 1881 | |
| 1882 | Fix a bug where mke2fs may not use the best placement of the inode |
| 1883 | table when there is only room for a single block group in the last |
| 1884 | flex_bg. |
| 1885 | |
| 1886 | E2fsck is now smarter when it needs to allocate blocks in the course |
| 1887 | of fixing file system problems. This reduces the number of spurious |
| 1888 | differences found in pass #5. |
| 1889 | |
| 1890 | E2fsck will no longer rehash directories which fit in a single |
| 1891 | directory block. |
| 1892 | |
| 1893 | E2fsck now correctly handles holes in extent-mapped directories (i.e., |
| 1894 | sparse directories which use extents). |
| 1895 | |
| 1896 | Fix big-endian problems with ext2fs_bmap() and ext2fs_bmap2(). |
| 1897 | |
| 1898 | Fix a bug in filefrag where on platforms which can allow file systems |
| 1899 | with 8k blocks, that it doesn't core dump when it sees a file system |
| 1900 | with 8k block sizes. (Thanks to Mikulas Patocka for pointing this |
| 1901 | out.) |
| 1902 | |
| 1903 | E2fsck will correctly fix directories that are have an inaccurate |
| 1904 | i_size as well as other problems in a single pass, instead of |
| 1905 | requiring two e2fsck runs before the file system is fully fixed. |
| 1906 | |
| 1907 | Fix e2fsck so it will correctly find and detect duplicate directory |
| 1908 | entries for non-indexed directories. ( Addresses Sourceforge Bug: |
| 1909 | #2862551) |
| 1910 | |
| 1911 | Mke2fs will use BLKDISCARD to pre-discard all blocks on an SSD or |
| 1912 | thinly-provisioned storage device. This can be disabled using the -K |
| 1913 | option. |
| 1914 | |
| 1915 | Enhance libext2fs so it works around bug in Linux version 2.6.19 |
| 1916 | and earlier where the /proc/swaps file was missing the header on |
| 1917 | the first line. |
| 1918 | |
| 1919 | Fix bug in Linux version 2.6.19 and earlier where the /proc/swaps file |
| 1920 | was missing the header on the first line. |
| 1921 | |
| 1922 | Fix some big-endian bugs in e2fsck and libext2fs. |
| 1923 | |
| 1924 | Fix resize2fs so it works correctly on file systems with external |
| 1925 | journals instead of failing early with the error "Illegal inode |
| 1926 | number". |
| 1927 | |
| 1928 | Fix libss so that it does not seg fault when using a readline library |
| 1929 | which does not supply a readline_shutdown() function. |
| 1930 | |
| 1931 | Updated dumpe2fs's usage message so it correctly gives the right |
| 1932 | arguments summary for "-o superblock=<num>" and "-o blocksize=<num>". |
| 1933 | (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #448099) |
| 1934 | |
| 1935 | Teach libext2fs to ignore the high 32 bits of the i_blocks field |
| 1936 | when huge_file file system feature is set, but the inode does not |
| 1937 | have the HUGE_FILE_FL flag set. |
| 1938 | |
| 1939 | Fix e2fsck's handling of 64-bit i_blocks fields. |
| 1940 | |
| 1941 | E2fsck will now print "Illegal indirect block", "Illegal |
| 1942 | double-indirect block", etc., instead of "Illegal block #-1" or |
| 1943 | "Illegal block #-2", etc. This makes it easier for users to |
| 1944 | understand what has gone wrong. (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #2871782) |
| 1945 | |
| 1946 | Mke2fs now will obtain get device topology information from blkid and |
| 1947 | use it to populate the superblock stride and stripe sizes. It will |
| 1948 | also warn if the block device is misaligned |
| 1949 | |
| 1950 | Fix file descriptor leaks in fsck and debugfs. (Addresses Novell Bug: |
| 1951 | ##524526) |
| 1952 | |
| 1953 | Fix the libext2fs library code to round up the bitmap size to a 4-byte |
| 1954 | boundary, to prevent spurious seg faults caused by the x86 |
| 1955 | architecture. This doesn't affect Linux systems, but was a major |
| 1956 | problem on a number of *BSD systems. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: |
| 1957 | #2328708) |
| 1958 | |
| 1959 | Fix resize2fs's minimum size required for a file system so it doesn't |
| 1960 | fail when "resize2fs -M" is run. (Addresses RedHat Bugzilla: #519131) |
| 1961 | |
| 1962 | Dumpe2fs now prints summary information about the contents of the |
| 1963 | journal. |
| 1964 | |
| 1965 | Avoid printing scary error messages when e2fsck starts running |
| 1966 | problems on low-memory systems, as it tends to panic and mislead the |
| 1967 | user. (Addresses Debian Bug: #509529) |
| 1968 | |
| 1969 | Fix blkid's modules.dep parser so it handles compressed (.ko.gz) |
| 1970 | modules files. (Address Red Hat Bug: #518572) |
| 1971 | |
| 1972 | Fix tune2fs so it can add a journal when an extent-enabled file system |
| 1973 | is mounted. (Addresses Launchpad bug: #416648) |
| 1974 | |
| 1975 | Update Czech, Indonesian, Polish and Vietnamese translations (from the |
| 1976 | Translation Project). |
| 1977 | |
| 1978 | Update/clarify man pages. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2822186) |
| 1979 | |
| 1980 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| 1981 | details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #540111) |
| 1982 | |
| 1983 | Programmer's Notes |
| 1984 | ------------------ |
| 1985 | |
| 1986 | The configure script supports the --with-cc, --with-ccopts, and |
| 1987 | --with-ldopts options. Instead, the more standard use of CC=, |
| 1988 | CCFLAGS=, and LDFLAGS= in the configure command line is used instead. |
| 1989 | Also, --with-ld, which never worked, was also removed. |
| 1990 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2843248) |
| 1991 | |
| 1992 | The in-tree header files are only used if the in-tree uuid or blkid |
| 1993 | libraries are used. Otherwise, use the system-provided uuid or blkid |
| 1994 | header files if using the system-provided libraries. |
| 1995 | |
| 1996 | Fix some build failures caused by --disable-* configure options. |
| 1997 | |
| 1998 | Work around a bug in autoconf 2.64. |

Theodore Ts'o | edde3e5 | 2009-08-22 22:38:50 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2001 | E2fsprogs 1.41.9 (August 22, 2009) |
| 2002 | ================================== |
| 2003 | |
| 2004 | Fix a bug in e2fsck routines for reallocating an inode table which |
| 2005 | could cause it to loop forever on an ext4 filesystem with the FLEX_BG |
| 2006 | filesystem feature with a relatively rare (and specific) filesystem |
| 2007 | corruption. This fix causes e2fsck to try to find space for a new |
| 2008 | portion of the inode table in the containing flex_bg, and if that |
| 2009 | fails, the new portion of the inode table will be allocated in any |
| 2010 | free space available in the filesystem. |
| 2011 | |
| 2012 | Make e2fsck less annoying by only asking for permission to relocate a |
| 2013 | block group's inode table once, instead of for every overlapping |
| 2014 | block. Similarly, only ask once to recompute the block group |
| 2015 | checksums, instead of once for each corrupted block group's checksum. |
| 2016 | |
| 2017 | Fix filefrag to avoid print the extent header if the FIEMAP ioctl is |
| 2018 | not present, and it needs to fall back to using the FIBMAP ioctl. |
| 2019 | |
| 2020 | Fix filefrag to correctly print the number of extents for zero-length |
| 2021 | files. (Addresses Debian Bug: #540376) |
| 2022 | |
| 2023 | Filefrag now has a -B option which forces the use of the FIBMAP ioctl |
| 2024 | to more easily debug the FIBMAP code. |
| 2025 | |
| 2026 | Fixed filefrag for non-extent based files. |
| 2027 | |
| 2028 | Add a new program, e2freefrag, which displays information about the |
| 2029 | free space fragmentation in an ext2/3/4 filesystem. |
| 2030 | |
| 2031 | Fix inode resizing via tune2fs -I so that it works correctly in the |
| 2032 | face of non-empty bad blocks inodes, and if the filesystem was |
| 2033 | formatted using the "mke2fs -E stride=N" option for RAID arrays. |
Theodore Ts'o | 776a374 | 2009-07-20 09:40:46 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2034 | |
| 2035 | Fix regression in ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() caused e2fsck -fD to fail |
| 2036 | and corrupt large directories if the directory needs to shrink by more |
| 2037 | than one block. (Addresses Debian Bug: #537510) |
| 2038 | |
| 2039 | Fix e2fsck's buggy_init_scritps=1 so that the if the last write and/or |
| 2040 | last mount times are in the future, they are corrected even if |
| 2041 | buggy_init_scripts is set. This is needed because otherwise resize2fs |
| 2042 | will refuse to resize the filesystem, even after running "e2fsck -f". |
| 2043 | (Addresses Launchpad bug: #373409) |
Theodore Ts'o | edde3e5 | 2009-08-22 22:38:50 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2044 | |
| 2045 | E2fsck will now print much fuller information when the last mount time |
| 2046 | or last written time is in the future, since most people can't seem to |
| 2047 | believe their distribution has buggy init scripts, or they have a |
| 2048 | failed CMOS/RTS clock battery. |
| 2049 | |
| 2050 | Enhance dumpe2fs to dump the extent information via the 'stat' |
| 2051 | command, and more detailed extent information via the new command |
| 2052 | 'dump_extents'. |

| 2060 | Programmer's Notes |
| 2061 | ------------------ |
| 2062 | |
| 2063 | Fixed miscellaneous gcc -Wall warnings. |
| 2064 | |
| 2065 | Fixed memory leak in error path in ext2fs_block_iterate2() |
| 2066 | |
| 2067 | Fixed non-Linux build of the intl directory by adding support for the |

Theodore Ts'o | edde3e5 | 2009-08-22 22:38:50 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2070 | The bitmap read/write functions now treat uninitialized bitmaps as |
| 2071 | unallocated; this fixes a number of problems in all e2fsprogs for ext4 |
| 2072 | filesystems when there is a need to allocate new blocks or inodes, and |
| 2073 | there aren't any free blocks or inodes in the already-used block |

| 2093 | |
| 2094 | Add safety checks (for non-Linux systems) so that uuidd isn't run with |
| 2095 | file descriptors 0, 1, and 2 closed; and if they are closed, uuidd |
| 2096 | will be careful not to close the file descriptor for its unix domain |
| 2097 | socket when it detaches itself from the controlling tty. Also add |
| 2098 | safety checks so that if the unix domain socket between the uuid |
| 2099 | library and uuidd program is closed for any reason, both the library |
| 2100 | and the uuidd will return an appropriate error code instead of looping |
| 2101 | in an infinite loop. |
| 2102 | |
| 2103 | The e2croncheck script, which creates an LVM snapshot and then checks |
| 2104 | the ext3/4 filesystem via the LVM snapshot, has been added to the |

| 2139 | ================================ |
| 2140 | |
| 2141 | Fix a bug in libext2fs which can cause e2fsck and resize2fs to write |
| 2142 | uninitalized data into the portion of the inode beyond the first 128 |
| 2143 | bytes when operating on inodes mapped via extents; potentially |
| 2144 | corrupting filesystems. |
| 2145 | |
| 2146 | Fix memory leaks in e2fsprogs, including a very large memory leak |
| 2147 | which can cause e2fsck to run out of memory when checking very large |
| 2148 | filesystems using extents. |
| 2149 | |
| 2150 | The logsave program will now filter out the ^A and ^B characters when |
| 2151 | writing to the console. |
| 2152 | |
| 2153 | Harden ext2fs_validate_entry() so that lsdel will not read beyond the |
| 2154 | end of the block even if the directory block is corrupted. |
| 2155 | |
| 2156 | Fix debugfs from core dumping if the logdump command fails to open the |
| 2157 | output file. |
| 2158 | |
| 2159 | Enhance badblocks to print the currently tested block number when |
| 2160 | interrupted with ^C. |
| 2161 | |
| 2162 | Fix lsattr to exit with a non-zero status when it encounters errors. |
| 2163 | (Addresses RedHat Bugzilla #489841) |
| 2164 | |
| 2165 | Fix e2fsprogs to use the same encoding for rec_len in 64k (and larger) |
| 2166 | filesystems as the kernel when encoding rec_len >= 64k. For 64k |
| 2167 | filesystems (currently all that is supported by e2fsprogs, this is |
| 2168 | only a minor corner case). |
| 2169 | |
| 2170 | Resize2fs will now update the journal backup fileds in the sup0erblock |
| 2171 | if the journal is moved; this avoids an unnecessary full fsck after |
| 2172 | resizing the filesystem. (Addresses RedHat Bugzilla: #505339) |

| 2179 | Fix filefrag progam so it correctly checks for errors from the fiemap ioctl. |
| 2180 | |
| 2181 | Update Chinese and Czech translation from the Translation Project. |
| 2182 | |
| 2183 | Clean up various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug #531385 and #523063) |

| 2186 | Programmer's Notes |
| 2187 | ------------------ |
| 2188 | |
| 2189 | Add --disable-libuuid option to configure which uses an in-system |
| 2190 | installed version of libuuid; the private version is enabled by |
| 2191 | default. |
| 2192 | |
| 2193 | Add --valgrind-leakcheck option to the test_script program which runs |

Theodore Ts'o | d17ad12 | 2009-05-30 13:56:31 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2197 | E2fsprogs 1.41.6 (May 30, 2009) |
| 2198 | =============================== |
| 2199 | |
| 2200 | Fix a critical regression in e2fsck introduced version 1.41.5 which |
| 2201 | can undo updates to the block group descriptors after a journal replay. |
| 2202 | |
| 2203 | If e2fsck receives an I/O error while replaying the journal, prompt |
| 2204 | the user whether they want to ignore the error or not; if e2fsck is |
| 2205 | run in preen mode, force fsck to abort the preen pass. |
| 2206 | |
| 2207 | Fix a bug which would cause e2fsck to core dump if the filesystem |
| 2208 | contains a corrupt extent header, and the user declines to clear the |
| 2209 | inode. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2791794) |
| 2210 | |
| 2211 | Fix e2fsck to restart only once in the case of multiple block groups |
| 2212 | which inodes in use that are in the uninitialized part of the block |
| 2213 | group's inode table. |
| 2214 | |
| 2215 | To reduce user confusion, if the /etc/mtab file is missing |
| 2216 | ext2fs_check_mount_point and ext2fs_check_if_mounted will return a |
| 2217 | new, explicit error code to indicate this case. This will cause |
| 2218 | e2fsck to give a clearer error message when the user is using buggy |
| 2219 | rescue CD's that don't properly set up /etc/mtab. (Addresses Debian |
| 2220 | Bug: #527859) |
| 2221 | |
| 2222 | Fix e2fsck so that if the primary group descriptors are corrupted, but |
| 2223 | the backup superblock is entirely invalid, to go back to using (and |
| 2224 | fixing) the priary group descriptors instead of completely giving up |
| 2225 | on the filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug: #516820) |
| 2226 | |
| 2227 | Change e2fsck to not abort a preen pass if an inode is found to have |
| 2228 | i_file_acl_hi non-zero. Ext3 filesystems don't care, and newer |
| 2229 | kernels (post 2.6.29) will ignore this field. So let's fix it |
| 2230 | automatically during the preen pass instead of forcing the user to fix |
| 2231 | this up manually. (Addresses Debian Bug: #526524) |
| 2232 | |
| 2233 | Add resource tracking for e2fsck passes 1b through 1d. |
| 2234 | |
| 2235 | Speed up e2fsck by eliminating unnecessary journal checks if the |
| 2236 | filesystem is already mounted and doesn't need recovery (since the |
| 2237 | kernel would have run the journal when the filesystem was mounted.) |
| 2238 | Also speed up e2fsck by avoiding unnecessary block group descriptor |
| 2239 | updates in ext2fs_close(). |
| 2240 | |
| 2241 | Add support to chattr to migrate inodes from using direct/indirect |
| 2242 | blocks to extents. |
| 2243 | |
| 2244 | Avoid corrupting the filesystem if there is an attempt to shrink a |
| 2245 | filesystem using resize2fs smaller than posible by making |
| 2246 | ext2fs_set_bmap() more careful not to delete the old block until the |
| 2247 | new block can be inserted. In addition, fix a bug in how the minimum |
| 2248 | size of the filesystem (plus a safety margin) is calculated, and |
| 2249 | modify resize2fs to refuse to shrink the filesystem below that minimum |
| 2250 | size without the force flag. |
| 2251 | |
| 2252 | Teach blkid to try to figure out DM device names using take advantage |
| 2253 | of information in sysfs when running on kernels (2.6.29 and later) |
| 2254 | which provide this information in /sys/block/dm-<N>/dm/name; this is |
| 2255 | much faster than scanning for the devncie number in /dev/mapper. |
| 2256 | |
| 2257 | Fix blkid to prefer /dev/mapper/<name> device names instad of the |
| 2258 | private /dev/dm-X names. |
| 2259 | |
| 2260 | Add an -a option to debugfs's close_filesys command which writes any |
| 2261 | changes to the superblock or block group descriptors to all of the |
| 2262 | backup superblock locations. |
| 2263 | |
| 2264 | Add support to the filefrag program to use the FIEMAP ioctl. |
| 2265 | |
| 2266 | Update Chinese translation from the Translation Project. |
| 2267 | |
| 2268 | Clean up various man pages. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #502971 and |
| 2269 | Launchpad Bug: #381854) |
| 2270 | |
| 2271 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| 2272 | details. (Addresses Debian Bug #506064) |
| 2273 | |
| 2274 | |
| 2275 | Programmer's Notes |
| 2276 | ------------------ |
| 2277 | |
| 2278 | Add test code to make sure e2fsck's problem.c doesn't have two problem |
| 2279 | codes assigned to duplicate values. |
| 2280 | |
| 2281 | Avoid using a hard-coded path for /bin/rm in block's test_probe.in. |
| 2282 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2780205) |
| 2283 | |
| 2284 | Clean up e2fsck by removing #ifdef RESOURCE_TRACK by adding an empty |
| 2285 | function declaration for init_resource_track() and |
| 2286 | print_resource_track() when RESOURCE_TRACK is not defined. |
| 2287 | |
| 2288 | The test code which is used to build the tst_csum progam has been |
| 2289 | moved from from tst_csum.c into csum.c under an #ifdef DEBUG to to |
| 2290 | avoid compile problems caused by not having a prototype for |
| 2291 | ext2fs_group_desc_csum(). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug #2484331) |
| 2292 | |
| 2293 | Update the config.guess and config.sub file to the latest from the |
| 2294 | FSF, to allow e2fsprogs to build on the avr32 platform. (Addresses |
| 2295 | Debian Bug: #528330) |
| 2296 | |
| 2297 | Add a new function, ext2fs_extent_open2(), which behaves like |
| 2298 | pext2fs_extent_open(), but uses the user-supplied inode structure |
| 2299 | when opening an extent instead of reading the inode from disk. |
| 2300 | |

| 2303 | ================================= |
Theodore Ts'o | daf3c82 | 2009-04-19 23:06:45 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2304 | |
| 2305 | Fix a number of filesystem corruption bugs in resize2fs when growing |
| 2306 | or shrinking ext4 filesystems off-line (i.e., when the ext4 filesystem |
| 2307 | is not mounted). |
| 2308 | |
| 2309 | Debugfs can now set i_file_acl_high via the set_inodes_field command, |
| 2310 | and print a 64-bit file acl. This is useful for debugging filesystem |
Theodore Ts'o | 898ddb0 | 2009-04-23 22:44:16 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2311 | corruptions where the high bits of i_file_acl_high are set. E2fsck |
| 2312 | will detect and fix non-zero i_file_acl_high on 32-bit filesystems |
| 2313 | since some Linux kernel versions pay attention to this field even when |
| 2314 | they shouldn't. |
Theodore Ts'o | daf3c82 | 2009-04-19 23:06:45 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2315 | |
Theodore Ts'o | e60c25b | 2009-04-23 01:57:51 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2316 | Speed up e2fsck when checking clean filesystems by avoiding |
| 2317 | unnecessary block reads, and coalescing the block group descriptor |
| 2318 | blocks so they are read using a single read operation. |
| 2319 | |
Theodore Ts'o | daf3c82 | 2009-04-19 23:06:45 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2320 | The libuuid library will now close all file descriptors before running |
| 2321 | uuidd. This avoids problems when the calling program has open sockets |
| 2322 | which then never get closed because uuidd is a long-running helper |
| 2323 | daeomn. (Addresses Launchpad bug: #305057) |
| 2324 | |
| 2325 | In order to avoid unnecessary full filesystem checks by e2fsck after |
| 2326 | an on-line resize, e2fsck will ignore the NEEDS_RECOVERY flag set on |
| 2327 | the backup superblocks. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #471925) |
| 2328 | |
| 2329 | Mke2fs will avoid trying to create the journal when run in |
| 2330 | superblock-only mode (mke2fs -S), since the left-over journal in the |
| 2331 | inode table will cause mke2fs to fail. |
| 2332 | |
Theodore Ts'o | e60c25b | 2009-04-23 01:57:51 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2333 | Fix a bug in libext2fs functions that check to see if a particular |
| 2334 | device or filesystem image is mounted, which would cause these |
| 2335 | functions to report that a file identical to the (relative) pathname |
| 2336 | used by a pseudo-filesystem was mounted when in fact it was not. |
| 2337 | |
Theodore Ts'o | daf3c82 | 2009-04-19 23:06:45 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2338 | Update Czech translation from the Translation Project. |
| 2339 | |
Theodore Ts'o | e60c25b | 2009-04-23 01:57:51 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2340 | Add Chinese (simplified) translation from the Translation Project. |
| 2341 | |
Theodore Ts'o | daf3c82 | 2009-04-19 23:06:45 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2342 | Fix support for external journals (which was broken in e2fsprogs |
| 2343 | 1.41.4). |
| 2344 | |
| 2345 | Fix a regression in debugfs where the "stat" command when no |
| 2346 | filesystem was open would cause debugfs to crash with a segmentation |
| 2347 | violation. |
| 2348 | |
| 2349 | Starting in the 2.6.29 linux kernel, the ext4 filesystem driver can be |
| 2350 | used to support filesystems without a journal. Update the blkid |
| 2351 | library so it understands this. |
| 2352 | |
Theodore Ts'o | e60c25b | 2009-04-23 01:57:51 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2353 | The blkid library will remove an entry from the blkid cache |
| 2354 | representing the entire disk if partitions are found, since presuambly |
| 2355 | the device previously had no partition table, but has now transitioned |
| 2356 | to using a partition table. |
| 2357 | |
Theodore Ts'o | daf3c82 | 2009-04-19 23:06:45 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2358 | Add a check to mke2fs and tune2fs that the argument to the -m option |
| 2359 | (which specifies the reserved ratio) must be greater than zero. |
| 2360 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #517015) |
| 2361 | |
| 2362 | Add support for tracking the number kilobytes written to the |
| 2363 | filesystem via the superblock field s_kbytes_written. It will be |
| 2364 | updated by the kernel as well as by e2fsprogs programs which write to |
| 2365 | the filesystem. This is useful for tracking the wear to filesystems |
| 2366 | on Solid Sstate Drives. |
| 2367 | |
| 2368 | Fix compatibility issue in the libext2fs info file and makeinfo |
| 2369 | version 4.12. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #481620) |
| 2370 | |
Theodore Ts'o | e60c25b | 2009-04-23 01:57:51 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2371 | Update/clarify man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug: #515693, #365619) |

| 2377 | ------------------ |
| 2378 | |
| 2379 | Fix Hurd compilation problem in e2fsck and tune2fs (Addresses Debian |
| 2380 | Bug: #521602) |
| 2381 | |
| 2382 | Fix various gcc compilation warnings and other programming cleanups. |

| 2386 | |
Theodore Ts'o | e60c25b | 2009-04-23 01:57:51 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2387 | Add support for disabling the built-in blkid library in favor of a |

Theodore Ts'o | b2ca48f | 2009-01-27 19:51:00 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 2392 | E2fsprogs 1.41.4 (January 27, 2009) |
| 2393 | =================================== |
| 2394 | |
| 2395 | Fixed a bug which could sometimes cause blkid to return an exit value |
| 2396 | of zero for a non-existent device (Addresses Debian Bug: #502541) |
| 2397 | |
| 2398 | Blkid will now recognize ext3 filesystems that have the test_fs flag |
| 2399 | set as ext3 filesystems. |
| 2400 | |
| 2401 | The blkid library will now recognize btrfs filesystems and swap |
| 2402 | devices currently used by user-level software suspend. |
| 2403 | |
| 2404 | Tune2fs now updates the block group checksums when changing the UUID |
| 2405 | to avoid causing e2fsck to complain vociferously at the next reboot. |
| 2406 | |
| 2407 | Tune2fs's inode size resizing algorithms have been fixed so it is not |
| 2408 | vastly inefficient for moderate-to-large filesystems, due to some |
| 2409 | O(n**2) and O(n*m) algorithms that didn't scale well at all. |
| 2410 | |
| 2411 | Fix tune2fs's inode resizing algorithm so it will not corrupt |
| 2412 | filesystems laid out for RAID filesystems; in addition, tune2fs will |
| 2413 | refuse to change the inode size for filesystems that have the flex_bg |
| 2414 | feature enabled. (This is a limitation in the current implementation |
| 2415 | of tune2fs -I.) |
| 2416 | |
| 2417 | E2fsprogs 1.41 broke debugfs's logdump command for normal ext3/4 |
| 2418 | filesystems with 32-bit block numbers, when the headers for 64-bit |
| 2419 | block numbers was added. This regression has been fixed. |
| 2420 | |
| 2421 | Debugfs's ncheck command has been fixed to avoid printing garbage |
| 2422 | characters at the end of file names. |
| 2423 | |
| 2424 | Fix resize2fs for ext4 filesystems. Some blocks that that need moving |
| 2425 | when shrinking filesystems with uninit_bg feature would not be moved. |
| 2426 | In addition, blocks and inode table blocks were not being correctly |
| 2427 | freed when shrinking filesystems with the flex_bg feable, which caused |
| 2428 | resize2fs -M to fail. Finally, when blocks are moved, make sure the |
| 2429 | uninitialized flag in extents is preserved. |
| 2430 | |
| 2431 | Fix bug which caused dumpe2fs to abort with an error if run on a |
| 2432 | filesystem that contained an external journal. |
| 2433 | |
| 2434 | Some distributions used "mke3fs" as an alias for "mkfs.ext3"; check |
| 2435 | for this in argv[0] to provide better legacy support for these |
| 2436 | distributions. This is a practice that should NOT be continued, |
| 2437 | however. |
| 2438 | |
| 2439 | Mke2fs now has a new option -U, which allows the user to specify the |
| 2440 | UUID that should be used for the new filesystem. |
| 2441 | |
| 2442 | Mke2fs will treat devices that are exactly 16TB as if they were 16TB |
| 2443 | minus one block. This allows users who have read that ext3 supports |
| 2444 | up to 16TB filesystems and who create a 16TB LVM to not get confused, |
| 2445 | since the true limit is really 16TB minus one block. |
| 2446 | |
| 2447 | E2fsck will no longer abort an fsck run if block group has an errant |
| 2448 | INODE_UNINIT flag. |
| 2449 | |
| 2450 | E2fsck now distinguishes between fragmented directories and fragmented |
| 2451 | files in verbose mode statistics and in the fragcheck report. |
| 2452 | |
| 2453 | Fix a bug in e2fsck which casued it double count non-contiguous |
| 2454 | extent-based inodes. |
| 2455 | |
| 2456 | E2fsck will leave some slack space when repacking directories to allow |
| 2457 | room for a few directory entries to be added without causing leaf |
| 2458 | nodes to be split right away. |
| 2459 | |
| 2460 | Fix a bug which caused e2fsck to crash when it comes across a |
| 2461 | corrupted interior node in an extent tree with the error message: |
| 2462 | "Error1: Corrupt extent header on inode XXXXXX" |
| 2463 | |
| 2464 | E2fsck problem descriptions involving the journal are no longer |
| 2465 | referred to as "ext3" problems, since ext4 filesystems also have |
| 2466 | journals. |
| 2467 | |
| 2468 | Fix a long-standing bug in e2fsck which would cause it to crash when |
| 2469 | replying journals for filesystems with block sizes greater than 8k. |
| 2470 | |
| 2471 | Update Catalan translation from the Translation Project. |
| 2472 | |
| 2473 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| 2474 | details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #503057, #502323, #511207) |
| 2475 | |
| 2476 | Programmer's Notes |
| 2477 | ------------------ |
| 2478 | |
| 2479 | Fix build of e2fsck.profiled, and add support for building profiled |
| 2480 | binaries in the misc directory if configured with --enable-profile. |
| 2481 | |
| 2482 | The ext2fs_open() function now performs more sanity checks on the |
| 2483 | superblock to avoid potential divide by zero errors by other parts of |
| 2484 | library. |
| 2485 | |
| 2486 | The ext2fs_read_inode_full() function now has a safety check to avoid |
| 2487 | a segmentation fault on corrupted filesystems. |
| 2488 | |
| 2489 | The ext2fs_new_inode() function now has a sanity check so that if the |
| 2490 | s_first_inode field in the superblock is insane, it will return |
| 2491 | EXT2_ET_INODE_ALLOC_FAIL instead of returning an invalid inode number. |
| 2492 | |
| 2493 | To avoid segmentation faults, ext2fs_block_alloc_stats() and |
| 2494 | ext2fs_inode_alloc_stats() now validates the passed inode or block |
| 2495 | number to avoid overrunning an array boundary. |
| 2496 | |
| 2497 | Various signed/unsigned errors for variables containing block numbers |
| 2498 | have been fixed. |
| 2499 | |
| 2500 | Accomodations for gcc's stupidity in not realizing that constant |
| 2501 | strings that do not contain a '%' character are safe to use in format |
| 2502 | strings have been made so that distributions that want to compile |
| 2503 | e2fsprogs with -Werror=format-security have an easier time doing so. |
| 2504 | |
| 2505 | Added a new 64-bit getsize interface, ext2fs_get_device_size2(). |
| 2506 | |
| 2507 | Added the utility make-sparse.c to the contrib directory. |
| 2508 | |
| 2509 | The ext2fs_block_iterate2() function now reflects errors from |
| 2510 | ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() to the caller, if the callback tries to |
| 2511 | change a block on an extent-based file, and ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() |
| 2512 | fails for some reason (for example, there isn't enough disk space to |
| 2513 | split a node and expand the extent tree. |
| 2514 | |
| 2515 | The ext2fs_block_iterate2() function will preserve the uninit flag in |
| 2516 | extents when the callback function modifies a block in an extent-based |
| 2517 | file. |
| 2518 | |
| 2519 | E2fsck will now flag filesystems that have an insane s_first_ino field |
| 2520 | in their superblock, and attempt to use a backup superblock to repair |
| 2521 | the filesystem. |
| 2522 | |

| 2525 | =================================== |
| 2526 | |
| 2527 | E2fsck has been fixed so it prints the correct inode number for |
| 2528 | uinit_bg related problems. |
| 2529 | |
| 2530 | E2fsck will now offer to clear the test_fs flag if the ext4 filesystem |
| 2531 | is available on linux. This can be disabled via a configuration |
| 2532 | option in /etc/e2fsck.conf. |
| 2533 | |
| 2534 | Fix a file descriptor leak in libblkid when checking to see if an ext4 |
| 2535 | or ext4dev module exists. |
| 2536 | |
| 2537 | Fix a bug in e2fsck where in preen mode, if there are disk I/O errors |
| 2538 | while trying to close a filesystem can lead to infinite loops. |
| 2539 | (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #465679) |

Theodore Ts'o | c12125f | 2008-10-01 23:16:06 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2566 | E2fsprogs 1.41.2 (October 2, 2008) |
| 2567 | ================================== |
| 2568 | |
| 2569 | Fix e2fsck's automatic blocksize detection. This fixes a regression |
| 2570 | from e2fsprogs 1.40.7 which caused e2fsck to fail if the user |
| 2571 | specifies a block number using the -b option if the blocksize option |
| 2572 | isn't also specified using -B. Unfortunately, users very commonly |
| 2573 | invoke e2fsck using "e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/hdXXX" to use the backup |
| 2574 | superblock; in fack e2fsck will often suggest this kind of command |
| 2575 | line. Oops. |
| 2576 | |
| 2577 | Enhance the debugfs's "ncheck" command so it will print all of the |
| 2578 | pathnames for the specified inodes. (Previously, in some cases ncheck |
| 2579 | might not print a pathname for an inode at all if some of the other |
| 2580 | inodes had multiple hard links.) |
| 2581 | |
| 2582 | Enhance debugfs's "hash" command so the hash seed can be specified via |
| 2583 | a command-line option. In addition, allow the hash algorithm to be |
| 2584 | specified by name instead of just by number. |
| 2585 | |
| 2586 | Fix e2fsck so that we don't accidentally print the translation file's |
| 2587 | header when asking the user a custom question so there is no prompt |
| 2588 | defined for a particular problem record. For example, the question |
| 2589 | "Run journal anyway" will get the PO header tacked on because e2fsck |
| 2590 | erroneously passed the null string to _(). (Addresses Launchpad Bug: |
| 2591 | #246892) |
| 2592 | |
| 2593 | Enhance badblocks so that it can test a normal file which is greater |
| 2594 | than 2GB. |
| 2595 | |
| 2596 | Enhance the badblocks command so that it displays the time and |
| 2597 | percentage complete when in verbose mode. (Addresses Debian Bug: |
| 2598 | #429739) |
| 2599 | |
| 2600 | Fix a potential memory leak in a error handling path in debugfs's |
| 2601 | ncheck function. |
| 2602 | |
| 2603 | Fix a potential memory corruption problem if a memory allocation fails |
| 2604 | in resize2fs. |
| 2605 | |
| 2606 | Fix the usage message for debugfs's logdump command to be consistent |
| 2607 | with its man manpage. |
| 2608 | |
| 2609 | Update Polish, French, Vietnamese, Dutch, Indonesian, German, Czech, |
| 2610 | and Sweedish translation from the Translation Project. |
| 2611 | |
| 2612 | Add documentation for the file I/O functions to the libext2fs.texinfo |
| 2613 | file. (Addresses Debian Bug: #484877) |
| 2614 | |
| 2615 | Update and clarified various man pages. (Addresses Launchpad Bug |
| 2616 | #275272; Addresses Debian Bugs: #498100, #498101, #498102, #498103) |
| 2617 | |
| 2618 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| 2619 | details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #497619) |
| 2620 | |
| 2621 | Programmer's Notes |
| 2622 | ------------------ |
| 2623 | |
| 2624 | Fix a potential file descriptor leack in libcom_err by setting the |
| 2625 | close-on-exec flag for a fd used for debugging. (Addresses Red Hat |
| 2626 | Bugzilla #464689) |
| 2627 | |
| 2628 | Fix a potential race in libcom_err by using sem_post/sem_init. SuSE |
| 2629 | has been carrying a patch for a long time to prevent a largely |
| 2630 | theoretical race condition if a multi-threaded application adds and |
| 2631 | removes error tables in multiple threads. Unfortunately SuSE's |
| 2632 | approach breaks compatibility by forcing applications to link and |
| 2633 | compile with the -pthread option; using pthread mutexes has |
| 2634 | historically been problematic. We fix this by using sem_post/sem_init |
| 2635 | instead. |
| 2636 | |
| 2637 | Fix e2fsprogs-libs build failure due to 'subs' target. (Addresses |
| 2638 | Sourceforge Bug: #2087502) |
| 2639 | |
| 2640 | Avoid linking e2initrd_helper, debugfs, blkid, and fsck with unneeded |
| 2641 | libraries when using ELF shared libraries. |
| 2642 | |
| 2643 | Fix ELF shared library when building on systems that don't already |
| 2644 | have the e2fsprogs shared libraries already installed. (Addresses |
| 2645 | Sourceforge Bug: #2088537) |
| 2646 | |
| 2647 | Fix the pkg-config files so they work correctly when linking with |
| 2648 | static libraries and fix the include directory so programs don't have |
| 2649 | to use #include <ext2fs/ext2fs.h>, but can use #include <ext2fs.h> |
| 2650 | instead. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2089537) |
| 2651 | |
| 2652 | Make sure ext2fs_swab64() is compiled for all platforms, and not just |
| 2653 | for x86. (Addresses Debian Bug: #497515) |
| 2654 | |
| 2655 | Remove the unused ext2fs_find_{first,ext}_bit_set() functions for all |
| 2656 | non-x86 platforms. (They had been removed for x86 earlier.) |
| 2657 | |
| 2658 | Fix diet libc compilation support, which had bitrotted due to lack of |
| 2659 | TLC. Fixing this improves general portability. |
| 2660 | |
| 2661 | When installing the link library when using ELF shared libraries, |
| 2662 | avoid using absolute pathnames if the link library and the shared |
| 2663 | library are installed in the same directory. (Addresses Sourceforge |
| 2664 | Bug: #1782913) |
| 2665 | |
| 2666 | Fix gen-tarball so it will work even if the top-level directory has |
| 2667 | been renamed to something other than "e2fsprogs". Also make |
| 2668 | gen-tarball print the size of the resulting tar.gz file. |

| 2672 | ==================================== |
Theodore Ts'o | 30ab7f4 | 2008-08-23 11:43:08 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2673 | |
| 2674 | Many people are forgetting to update their mke2fs.conf file, and this |
| 2675 | causes ext3, ext4, and ext4dev filesystems won't get created with the |
| 2676 | proper features enabled. We address this in two ways. First, mke2fs |
| 2677 | will issue a warning if there is not definition for an ext3, ext4, or |
| 2678 | ext4dev filesystem and the user is trying to create such a filesystem |
| 2679 | type. Secondly, when installing from a source build, "make install" |
| 2680 | will provide basic configuration file handling for /etc/mke2fs.conf. |
| 2681 | If it exists, and does not mention ext4dev, it will be moved aside to |
| 2682 | /etc/mke2fs.conf.e2fpsrogs-old and the new /etc/mke2fs.conf file will |
| 2683 | be installed. If the existing /etc/mke2fs.conf file does mention |
| 2684 | ext4dev, then "make install" will install official mke2fs.conf file as |
| 2685 | /etc/mke2fs.conf.e2fsprogs-new and issue a message to the user that |
| 2686 | they should look to see if any changes need to be merged. |
| 2687 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d6487 | 2008-09-01 10:39:35 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2688 | The mke2fs program will now create the journal in the middle of the |
| 2689 | filesystem, since this minimizes seek times on average for fsync-heavy |
| 2690 | workloads. In addition, mke2fs will now create journals using extents |
| 2691 | for filesystems that support them. This results in a more efficient |
| 2692 | encoding for the journal since it eliminates the need for using |
| 2693 | indirect blocks. |
| 2694 | |
| 2695 | The mke2fs program will avoid allocating an extra block to the |
| 2696 | journal. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1483791) |
| 2697 | |
| 2698 | Mke2fs will correctly enforce the prohibition against features |
| 2699 | (specifically read-only features) in revision 0 filesystems. (Thanks |
| 2700 | to Benno Schulenberg for noticing this problem.) |
| 2701 | |
| 2702 | Mke2fs previously would occasionaly create some slightly non-optimally |
| 2703 | placed inode tables; this bug has been fixed. |
| 2704 | |
| 2705 | The mke2fs and tune2fs programs now print the correct usage message |
| 2706 | describing the maximum journal size. (Addresses Debian Bug: #491620) |
| 2707 | |
| 2708 | Add support for setting the default hash algorithm used in b-tree |
| 2709 | directories in tune2fs (from a command-line option) or mke2fs (via |
| 2710 | mke2fs.conf). In addition, change the default hash algorithm to |
| 2711 | half_md4, since it is faster and better. |
Theodore Ts'o | 30ab7f4 | 2008-08-23 11:43:08 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2712 | |
| 2713 | The blkid library will now recognize MacOS hfsx filesystems, and |
| 2714 | correctly extract the label and uuid for hfs, hfsx, and hfsplus |
| 2715 | filesystems. (Addresses Sourceforge Feature Requests: #2060292) |
| 2716 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d6487 | 2008-09-01 10:39:35 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2717 | The blkid library has improved detection of JFS and HPFS filesystems. |
| 2718 | (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #255255) |
| 2719 | |
| 2720 | The blkid library is now much more efficiently handling devicemapper |
| 2721 | devices, mainly by no longer using the devicemapper library. This can |
| 2722 | speed up access for systems with a large number of device mapper |
| 2723 | devices. |
| 2724 | |
| 2725 | Blkid had a number of cache validation bugs in libblkid that have been |
| 2726 | fixed. (Addresses Debian Bug: #493216) |
| 2727 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 30ab7f4 | 2008-08-23 11:43:08 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2728 | Resize2fs will now properly close out the "updating inode references" |
| 2729 | progress bar so there is a newline printed before printing the final |
| 2730 | "resize is successful" message. |
| 2731 | |
| 2732 | Resize2fs will now correctly handle filesystems with extents and/o |
| 2733 | uninitialized block groups correctly when file/directory blocks need |
| 2734 | to relocated (i.e., when shrinking a filesystem or if the resize_inode |
| 2735 | is not present). To support this, the ext2fs library now supports |
| 2736 | initializing inode and block bitmaps that are not yet initialized when |
| 2737 | allocating them using ext2fs_new_block() and ext2fs_new_inode(). In |
| 2738 | addition, e2fs_block_iterate2() can now support changing the location |
| 2739 | of interior nodes of an extent tree, and ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() has |
| 2740 | been optimized to avoid creating unnecessary new extents when updating |
| 2741 | the location of blocks in the extent tree. This will also help out |
| 2742 | e2fsck's recovery of obscurely corrupted filesystems with extents, |
| 2743 | when blocks are claimed by multiple inodes. |
| 2744 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d6487 | 2008-09-01 10:39:35 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2745 | Add support for on-line resizing ext4 filesystem with the flex_bg |
| 2746 | filesystem feature. The method for doing so is not optimal, but to do |
| 2747 | a better job will require kernel support. |
| 2748 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 30ab7f4 | 2008-08-23 11:43:08 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2749 | E2fsprogs 1.41.0 intrduced a bug in libext2fs which casued e2image and |
| 2750 | debugfs programs to not be able to read e2image files; the signed |
| 2751 | vs. unsigned bug in the code which read bitmaps from the e2image has |
| 2752 | been fixed. (Addresses Debian Bug: #495830) |
| 2753 | |
| 2754 | Resize2fs is now correctly managing the directory in-use counts when |
| 2755 | shrinking filesystems and directory inodes needed to be moved from one |
| 2756 | block group to another. This bug has been around since e2fsprogs |
| 2757 | 1.26, and is largely harmless, but does cause a filesystem corruption |
| 2758 | which will be flagged by e2fsck after the filesystem has been shrunk. |
| 2759 | |
| 2760 | E2fsck will no longer issue spurious complaints about the inode size |
| 2761 | caused by very large extent-based files, and by blocks reallocated |
| 2762 | using fallocate() with the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE option. (Addresses |
| 2763 | Kernel Bugzilla: #11341) |
| 2764 | |
| 2765 | Mke2fs will now set the creation timestamp on the lost+found directory |
| 2766 | and the root directory. (More generally, all new inodes created using |
| 2767 | the ext2fs library will correctly set the creation timestamp.) |
| 2768 | |
| 2769 | E2fsck now correctly calculates ind/dind/tind statistics in the |
| 2770 | presence of extent-based files. In addition, "e2fsck -v" will report |
| 2771 | statistics of the depth of extent trees in the filesystem. E2fsck can |
| 2772 | also give an inode fragmentation report using "e2fsck -E fragcheck" |
| 2773 | which can be useful when debugging the kernel block allocation |
| 2774 | routines. |

| 2777 | blocksize filesystems. |
| 2778 | |
| 2779 | E2fsck will now print the depth of corrupt htree directories. |
Theodore Ts'o | 30ab7f4 | 2008-08-23 11:43:08 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2780 | |
| 2781 | Debugfs's htree command now correctly understands extent-based |
| 2782 | directories. It will also print out the minor hash as well as the |
| 2783 | major hash. |
| 2784 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d6487 | 2008-09-01 10:39:35 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2785 | Debugfs has a new command which will print the supported features of |
| 2786 | e2fsprogs, to enable scripts to know whether the installed version of |
| 2787 | e2fsprogs can support a specific feature. |
| 2788 | |
| 2789 | Debugfs will now write files using extents for filesystems that |
| 2790 | support them. |
| 2791 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 30ab7f4 | 2008-08-23 11:43:08 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2792 | The error message printed by "tune2fs -I" if the inode size was too |
| 2793 | small was rather confusing, so it has been improved. Also, we won't |
| 2794 | try to create an undo log until we know that command-line-specified |
| 2795 | parameters such as "tune2fs -I <inode size>" are valid. |
| 2796 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 30ab7f4 | 2008-08-23 11:43:08 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2797 | Given some filesystems found "in the wild" that had non-zero block |
| 2798 | group checksums even though the uninit_bg/gdt_sum feature was not |
| 2799 | enabled, e2fsck would issue spurious error messages. Teach |
| 2800 | ext2fs_group_desc_csum_verify() to ignore the block group checksum |
| 2801 | entirely if the feature flag is not set. (Addresses Debian Bug: |
| 2802 | #490637) |
| 2803 | |
| 2804 | The blkid program will now print out a user-friendly listing of all of |
| 2805 | the block devices in the system and what they contain when given the |
| 2806 | -L option. (Addresses Debian Bug: #490527) |
| 2807 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d6487 | 2008-09-01 10:39:35 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2808 | The filefrag program now has a more accurate calculation for the |
| 2809 | number of ideal extents. (Addresses Debian Bug: #458306) |
| 2810 | |
| 2811 | The test I/O manager is now enabled by default, but its overhead is |
| 2812 | only incurred when it would be enabled via the TEST_IO_FLAGS or |
| 2813 | TEST_IO_BLOCK environment variables. |
| 2814 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 30ab7f4 | 2008-08-23 11:43:08 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2815 | Typographical errors in various program strings and usage messages |
| 2816 | have been fixed; most of these were pointed out by the e2fsprogs |

| 2818 | |
| 2819 | Update and clarified various man pages, as well as some typographical |
| 2820 | errors in the libext2fs texinfo file. |

| 2829 | Programmer's Notes |
| 2830 | ------------------ |
| 2831 | |
| 2832 | Fix portability problem with the badblocks group; for systems that |
| 2833 | don't have nanosleep(), try using usleep() instead. |
| 2834 | |
| 2835 | The "make check" target in the e2fsck directory now sets |
| 2836 | LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running the various e2fsck internal library |
| 2837 | regression tests. |
| 2838 | |
| 2839 | The crc32 regression test in the e2fsck library is now portable to |
| 2840 | greater varienty of environments, including big-endian systems and |
| 2841 | when cross-building e2fsprogs for embedded systems. (Addresses |
| 2842 | Sourceforge Bug: #2019287) |
| 2843 | |
| 2844 | The ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() had some bugs when setting the first |
| 2845 | block in a file, or when replacing a single block extent. Those cases |
| 2846 | fortunately were came up relatively rarely when e2fsck was checking |
| 2847 | files, but caused some problems when resize2fs was shrinking |
| 2848 | extent-based files. |

| 2858 | Ext2ed was failing to build because masix support had been removed in |
| 2859 | the rest of e2fsprogs, so ext2ed no longer has masix support, either. |
| 2860 | |
| 2861 | The configure script now respects the LDFLAGS environment variable if |

| 2865 | Libuuid is now more portable to the Windows platform. (Addresses |
| 2866 | Sourceforge Feature Request: #1937287) |
| 2867 | |
| 2868 | The configure script now uses AC_MSG_{RESULT,WARN,ERROR} instead of |
| 2869 | bare echo commands so that configure flags such as --quiet work |
| 2870 | correctly. (Addresses Sourceforge Patches: #2058794) |
| 2871 | |
| 2872 | A few uses of sprintf have been removed from the ext2fs library to |

| 2874 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2049120) |
| 2875 | |
| 2876 | The ext2fs_read_inode() checks the validity of the inode number passed |

| 2879 | |
| 2880 | The ext2fs_open() checks the validity of the blocksize parameter |
| 2881 | passed to it earlier, to avoid doing some needless work when it would |
| 2882 | fail anyway. |
| 2883 | |
| 2884 | Disable a very annoying automatic "%.sh -> %" GNU make rule in the |
| 2885 | top-level Makefile. That automatic rule is used to better support |
| 2886 | SCCS, but it caused problems for a particular niche distribution which |
| 2887 | likes to use configure.sh files to store the configure options used to |
| 2888 | build a package. Unfortuntaely GNU make will use the configure.sh to |
| 2889 | replace the configure script, resulting in a self-inflicted fork bomb |
| 2890 | leading to an out-of-memory crash. |

| 2895 | 2.96 and up, and it's tricky to check for gcc 2.95 vs gcc 2.96; since |
| 2896 | this is an optimization, we only try to use __builtin_expect for gcc 3 |
| 2897 | and up.) |
| 2898 | |
| 2899 | In e2fsck's crc routines, make sure we use WORDS_BIGENDIAN instead of |
| 2900 | __LITTLE_ENDIAN, which are only defined by glibc's header files and |
| 2901 | hence isn't portable. |
| 2902 | |
| 2903 | For the convenience for some distributions that need a static tune2fs, |
| 2904 | the Makefile for misc/ now has a tune2fs.static target. |
| 2905 | |
| 2906 | The ext2fs_block_iterate2() function now supports BLOCK_FLAG_APPEND |
| 2907 | for extent-based files |
| 2908 | |
| 2909 | The ext2fs_bmap() function now supports BMAP_ALLOC for extent-based |
| 2910 | files. |
| 2911 | |
| 2912 | All source files no longer have any trailing white space. |
| 2913 | |
| 2914 | The io_channel_read_blk64() and io_channel_write_blk64() functions are |
| 2915 | now functions instead of C preprocessor macros to provide better |
| 2916 | forward compatibility. |
| 2917 | |
| 2918 | The e2fpsrogs translation template now expands the @x abbrevation. |
| 2919 | |
| 2920 | Various namespace leackages in libblkid, libe2p, and libext2fs have |
| 2921 | been fixed. |

Theodore Ts'o | 30ab7f4 | 2008-08-23 11:43:08 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2925 | E2fsprogs is now more portable to Solaris. |
| 2926 | * blkid no longer assumes that the TIOCGSIZE and TIOCGWINSZ ioctl's |
| 2927 | are always present. |
| 2928 | * Scripts do not assume that /bin/true is always in /bin |
| 2929 | * Don't use __FUNCTION__ since Solaris's C99 doesn't support it. |
| 2930 | * Flush stdio handles before calling setbuf(), since Solaris will |
| 2931 | discard any pending output to the stream. |
| 2932 | * Define _XOPEN_SOURCE to 600 since Solaris's header files are very |
| 2933 | picky about which C compiler can beused for SUSv3 conformance. |
| 2934 | Use of C99 is not compatible with SUSv2 (_XOPEN_SOURCE=500), |
| 2935 | and C89 is not compatible with SUSv3 (_XOPEN_SOURCE=600). |
| 2936 | Since we need some SUSv3 functions, consistently use SUSv3 so |
| 2937 | that e2fsprogs will build on Solaris using c99. |
| 2938 | * Solaris C99 does not support varargs C preprocessor macros |
| 2939 | * Solaris header files pollute the C namespace if in/netinet.h |
| 2940 | is included, which conflicts with e2fsprogs' use of the kmem_cache_t |
| 2941 | typedef. |
| 2942 | * Solaris ships with a pathetically ancient shell in /bin/sh so we |
| 2943 | avoid the use of various more avanced shell constructs such as $(). |

| 2956 | ============================== |
Theodore Ts'o | 795de67 | 2008-06-18 00:50:05 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2957 | |
| 2958 | Add support for ext4 filesystem features, in particular extents, |
| 2959 | uninit_bg, flex_bg, huge_file, and dir_nlink features. Also add |
| 2960 | support for checking journal checksums. Debugfs will print new |
| 2961 | superblock and inode fields that were defined for ext4. For example, |
| 2962 | the nanosecond and i_version fields of an inode, and the |
| 2963 | s_min_extra_isize and s_wanted_extra_isize fields from the superblock. |
| 2964 | Note: Resize2fs doesn't currently support the combination of flex_bg |
| 2965 | and !resize_inode. (Addresses Debian Bug: #388452, #425477) |
| 2966 | |
| 2967 | Tune2fs can support migrating a filesystem from using 128 byte inodes |
| 2968 | to 256 byte inodes, so it can take advantage of the full features of |
| 2969 | ext4. |
| 2970 | |
| 2971 | Add support for "undo" support. E2fsck and mke2fs can optionally |
| 2972 | record an undo log which can replayed by the program e2undo. |
| 2973 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 92e49d8 | 2008-07-10 17:24:22 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2974 | E2fsck could damage a filesystem by trying to relocate inode tables |
| 2975 | due to corrupted block group descriptors, where the attempted inode |
| 2976 | table relocation would do far more harm than good. E2fsck has been |
| 2977 | fixed to detect this these sorts of corrupted block group descriptors |
| 2978 | much earlier in e2fsck processing, so it can try to use the backup |
| 2979 | superblock and block group descriptors first. This should be a much |
| 2980 | better strategy for recovering these types of corrupted filesystems. |
| 2981 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1840291) |
| 2982 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 795de67 | 2008-06-18 00:50:05 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2983 | E2fsck will display a more understandable message when the last check |
| 2984 | field in the superblock is in the future. (Addresses Debian Bug: |
| 2985 | #446005). |
| 2986 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 92e49d8 | 2008-07-10 17:24:22 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 2987 | E2fsck now performs more extensive and careful checks of extended |
| 2988 | attributes stored in the inode. |
| 2989 | |

| 2991 | ext2fs_get_device_size() returns EFBIG. (Addresses Debian Bug: |
| 2992 | #488663) |
| 2993 | |
| 2994 | Fix mke2fs to use a default block size of 4k when formatting an |
| 2995 | external journal device. This is done by using a fixed filesystem |
| 2996 | type list that consists only of the single filesystem type "journal" |
| 2997 | when looking up configuration keys in /etc/mke2fs.conf. (Addresses |
| 2998 | Debian Bug: #488663) |

Theodore Ts'o | a41d5ac | 2008-07-07 15:10:16 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 3003 | Fix blkid handling of stale devices. Fix a bug which could cause a |
| 3004 | core dump while garbage collecting the blkid cache, and assure that |
| 3005 | blkid_find_dev_with_tag() never returns a non-existent device. Also, |
| 3006 | if a filesystem is found at a new /dev location, eliminate any |
| 3007 | duplicate stale entries which can not be verified. |

Theodore Ts'o | 795de67 | 2008-06-18 00:50:05 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 3010 | Add more paranoid checks for LVM volumes and swap partitions in |
| 3011 | blkid's probe function, to reduce the chances of false positives. |
| 3012 | |
| 3013 | The mke2fs program now has a much more sophisticated system for |
| 3014 | controlling configuration parameters of a newly created filesystem |
| 3015 | based on a split filesystem and usage type system. The -t option to |
| 3016 | mke2fs was a deprecated alias to -c; it now specifies a filesystem |
| 3017 | type (ext2, ext3, ext4, etc.), while the -T option can now be a comma |
| 3018 | separated usage list. The filesystem type information and type |
| 3019 | information is used to extract configuration parameters from the |
| 3020 | /etc/mke2fs.conf file. |

Theodore Ts'o | 795de67 | 2008-06-18 00:50:05 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 3022 | The mke2fs program will no longer complain and request the -f option |
| 3023 | when the user tries to create a filesystem with greater than 2**31 |
| 3024 | blocks. |

| 3027 | adjust the mke2fs.conf file so filesystems for the Hurd are created |
| 3028 | with a blocksize of 4096 and inode size of 128, which is all it knows |
| 3029 | how to handle. (Addresses Debian Bug: #471977) |

Theodore Ts'o | 92e49d8 | 2008-07-10 17:24:22 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 3034 | Resize2fs will now print the minimum needed filesystem size if given |
| 3035 | the -P option, and will resize the filesystem to the smallest possible |

| 3037 | |
| 3038 | Fix resize2fs to clean up the resize_inode if all of the reserved gdt |
| 3039 | blocks are consumed during an off-line resize. |

Theodore Ts'o | 795de67 | 2008-06-18 00:50:05 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 3041 | The "ls" command in debugfs now supports the -p option, which causes |

| 3047 | e2image file. |
| 3048 | |
| 3049 | The chattr program will return a non-zero exit code in case of |

| 3059 | abort after finding a given number of errors. |
| 3060 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 795de67 | 2008-06-18 00:50:05 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 3061 | Remove support for the legacy big-endian filesystem format which only |

| 3156 | The chances of this is happening is extremely remote, especially the |

| 3158 | which has been journalled starts with the first four bytes 0xc03b3998, |

| 3247 | ================================= |
| 3248 | |
| 3249 | Fixed e2image -I so it works on image files which are larger than 2GB. |
| 3250 | |
| 3251 | Fixed e2fsck's handling of directory inodes with a corrupt size field. If |
| 3252 | the size is larger than the number of blocks found in the inode, don't |
| 3253 | try to allocate extra empty blocks at the end of the directory to make |
| 3254 | up the difference; there's no point to doing that. In addition, if |
| 3255 | the size is not a multiple of a blocksize, always fix it. |
| 3256 | |
| 3257 | E2fsck handled a pass 2 "should never happen error" by not giving |
| 3258 | enough information and then core dumping. Unfortunately, it was all |
| 3259 | too easy to trigger the "should never happen" situation if a |
| 3260 | directory's inode size was not correct. This has been fixed, but |
| 3261 | e2fsck has also been taught how to handle this situation more |
| 3262 | gracefully, by simply removing the inode hash tree information, so |
| 3263 | that it can be rebuilt again after e2fsck's pass 3. (Addresses |
| 3264 | Launchpad Bug: #129395) |
| 3265 | |
| 3266 | Resize2fs had a bug resizing large inodes with extended attributes |
| 3267 | that was fixed in 1.40.6; unfortunately, it turned out it wasn't fixed |
| 3268 | completely on big-endian systems such as PowerPC. The bug should be |
| 3269 | completely fixed now. Yay for regression test suites. (Addresses Red |
| 3270 | Hat Bugzilla: #434893) |
| 3271 | |
| 3272 | Updated German, Czech, Dutch, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese |
| 3273 | translations. Many thanks to Philipp Thomas from Novell for stepping |
| 3274 | up to become the new German translation maintainer! (Addresses Debian |
| 3275 | Bugs: #302512, #370247, #401092, #412882). |
| 3276 | |
| 3277 | When e2fsck is clearing a corrupt inode's HTREE directory information, |
| 3278 | make it clear that it is just clearing the HTREE information, not the |
| 3279 | entire inode. |
| 3280 | |
| 3281 | Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. |
| 3282 | |
| 3283 | Programmer's notes |
| 3284 | ------------------ |
| 3285 | |
| 3286 | Add new functions, ext2fs_dblist_get_last() and |
| 3287 | ext2fs_dblist_drop_last(), which allows the caller to examine the last |
| 3288 | directory block entry added to the list, and to drop if it necessary. |
| 3289 | |
| 3290 | Fixed a portability problem in libblkid with DJGPP. |
| 3291 | |
| 3292 | Fix an obvious typo in an "internal error" message in e2fsck. Thanks |
| 3293 | to Philipp Thomas for pointing this out. |
| 3294 | |
| 3295 | If the info files are not built, change "make install" so it doesn't |
| 3296 | fail with an error code. |
| 3297 | |

| 3300 | ==================================== |
| 3301 | |
| 3302 | Remove support for clearing the SPARSE_SUPER feature from tune2fs, and |
| 3303 | depreciate the -s option, since it can result in filesystems which |
| 3304 | e2fsck can't fix easily. There are very good reasons for wanting to |
| 3305 | disable sparse_super; users who wants to turn off sparse_super can use |
| 3306 | debugfs. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1840286) |
| 3307 | |
| 3308 | Add missing options to mke2fs's usage message. (Addresses Sourceforge |
| 3309 | Bug: #1751393) |
| 3310 | |
| 3311 | Fix bug in resize2fs when large (greater than 128 byte) inodes are |
| 3312 | moved when a filesystem is shrunk; it was only moving the first 128 |
| 3313 | bytes, so extended attributes were not getting moved. (Addresses Red |
| 3314 | Hat Bugzilla: #434893) |
| 3315 | |
| 3316 | E2fsck now prints an explicit message when the bad block inode is |
| 3317 | updated, to avoid confusion about why the filesystem was modified. |
| 3318 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #756460) |
| 3319 | |
| 3320 | Allow mke2fs and tune2fs manipulate the large_file feature. |
| 3321 | Previously we just let the kernel and e2fsck do this automatically, |
| 3322 | but e2fsck will no longer automatically clear the large_file feature. |
| 3323 | It still isn't really necessary to worry about this feature flag |
| 3324 | explicitly, but some users seem to care. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: |
| 3325 | #258381) |
| 3326 | |
| 3327 | Suppress message about an old-style fstab if the fstab file is empty. |
| 3328 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #468176) |
| 3329 | |
| 3330 | Fix (really minor) bug in debugfs's find_free_block so it avoids |
| 3331 | reporting a free block more than once if there are too few free blocks |
| 3332 | in the filesystem. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1096315) |
| 3333 | |
| 3334 | Change e2fsck to no longer clear the LARGE_FILES feature flag |
| 3335 | automatically, when there are no more > 2GB files in the filesystem. |
| 3336 | It's been almost a decade since there have been kernels that don't |
| 3337 | support this flag, and e2fsck clears it quietly without telling the |
| 3338 | user why the filesystem has been changed. |
| 3339 | |
| 3340 | Fix bug which could cause libblkid to seg fault if a device mapper |
| 3341 | volume disappears while it is being probed. (Addresses RedHat |
| 3342 | Bugzilla: #433857) |
| 3343 | |
| 3344 | Inhance e2fsck's reporting of unsupported filesystem feature flags. |
| 3345 | (Addresses Sourceforge Feature Request: #1175808) |
| 3346 | |
| 3347 | Fix option syntax in dumpe2fs for explicit superblock and blocksize |
| 3348 | parameters. What was currently documented in the man page has been |
| 3349 | broken for some time, due to getopt() implementation changes. The |
| 3350 | option sytax has been changed to one which is can be more portable |
| 3351 | supported and which is consistent with the format for extended options |
| 3352 | in mke2fs and tune2fs. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1830994) |
| 3353 | |
| 3354 | Add support to tune2fs to clear the resize_inode feature. This |
| 3355 | requires an fsck afterwards. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #167816) |
| 3356 | |
| 3357 | Teach blkid to detect LVM2 physical volumes. (Addresses Red Hat |
| 3358 | Bugzilla: #409321) |
| 3359 | |
| 3360 | Add support for setting RAID stride and stripe-width via mke2fs and |
| 3361 | tune2fs. Teach dumpe2fs to print the RAID parameters. |
| 3362 | |
| 3363 | Add support for setting new superblock fields to debugfs's |
| 3364 | set_super_value. |
| 3365 | |
| 3366 | Add support for printing "mostly-printable" extended attributes in |
| 3367 | Debugfs. |
| 3368 | |
| 3369 | Add support for the -M option to fsck, which causes it to ignore |
| 3370 | mounted filesystem. |
| 3371 | |
| 3372 | Fix uuidd so that it creates the pid file with the correct pid number. |
| 3373 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1893244) |
| 3374 | |
| 3375 | Fix various gcc -Wall warnings. |
| 3376 | |
| 3377 | Update Czech, Dutch, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese translations |

| 3386 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| 3387 | details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #466929) |
| 3388 | |
| 3389 | Add new flag EXT2_FLAG_NONFREE_ON_ERROR ext2fs_open2() which returns a |
| 3390 | partially filled-in filesystem object on an error, so that e2fsck can |
| 3391 | print more intelligent error messages. |
| 3392 | |
| 3393 | Add a new function e2p_edit_feature2() which allows the caller to |
| 3394 | specify which feature flags are OK to set or clear, and which returns |
| 3395 | more specific information about feature flags which are not allowed to |
| 3396 | be set/cleared. |

| 3401 | Use fcntl locking instead of lockf in libuuid since Cygwin doesn't |
| 3402 | support lockf(). |
| 3403 | |
| 3404 | Change configure.in to avoid using the 'dc' command unless it is |
| 3405 | absolutely needed. (i.e., when using parsing a WIP-style version |
| 3406 | number) (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1893024) |
| 3407 | |

| 3422 | =================================== |
| 3423 | |
| 3424 | Add support for returning labels for UDF filesystems in the blkid |
| 3425 | library. |
| 3426 | |
| 3427 | Fix bug in the blkid library where cached filesystems was not being |
| 3428 | flushed when opening USB devices returned the error ENOMEDIUM. |
| 3429 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #463787) |
| 3430 | |

| 3433 | |
| 3434 | Allow tune2fs to set and clear the test_fs flag on ext4 filesystems. |

| 3459 | =================================== |
| 3460 | |
| 3461 | Fix a potential overflow big in e2image if the device name is too |
| 3462 | long. |
| 3463 | |
| 3464 | Mke2fs will now create new filesystems with 256 byte inodes and the |
| 3465 | ext_attr feature flag by default. This allows for much better future |
| 3466 | compatibity with ext4 and speeds up extended attributes even on ext3 |
| 3467 | filesystems. |
| 3468 | |
| 3469 | Teach e2fsck to ignore certain "safe" filesystem features which are |
| 3470 | set automatically by the kernel. Having the kernel set features |
| 3471 | automagically behind the user's back is a bad idea, and we should try |
| 3472 | to break the kernel of this habit, especially for the newer ext4 |
| 3473 | feature flags. But for now, we will try to avoid needless full checks |
| 3474 | which can annoy users who are doing fresh installs. |
| 3475 | |
| 3476 | Add support in tune2fs and mke2fs for making a filesystem as being "ok |
| 3477 | to be used with test kernel code". This will be needed for using test |
| 3478 | filesystems with the latest ext4 kernel code. |
| 3479 | |
| 3480 | Change e2fsck -fD so that it sorts non-htree directories by inode |
| 3481 | numbers instead of by name, since that optimizes performances much |
| 3482 | more significantly. (Addresses-Sourceforge-Feature-Request: #532439) |
| 3483 | |
| 3484 | If e2image fills the disk, fix it so it exits right away instead of |
| 3485 | spewing large numbers of error messages. |
| 3486 | (Addresses-Sourceforge-Feature-Request: #606508) |
| 3487 | |
| 3488 | If ftruncate64() is not available for resize2fs, let it use ftrucate() |
| 3489 | instead, but have it check to see if the size would get truncated, and |
| 3490 | skip calling ftruncate in that case. |
| 3491 | |
| 3492 | Add support for detecting HFS+ filesystems in the blkid library. |
| 3493 | |
| 3494 | Add supprt in the blkid library for ext4/ext4dev filesystems. |
| 3495 | |
| 3496 | Fix a bug in blkid where it could die on a floating point exception |
| 3497 | when presented with a corrupt reiserfs image. |
| 3498 | |
| 3499 | Fix blkid's handling of ntfs UUID's so that leading zeros are printed |
| 3500 | such that UUID string is a fixed length. |
| 3501 | |
| 3502 | Add sample python bindings for the uuid library to the contrib |
| 3503 | directory. (Addresses-Sourceforge-Patches: #778817) |
| 3504 | |
| 3505 | Fix debugfs's 'lsdel' command so it uses ext2fs_block_iterate2 so it |
| 3506 | will work with large files. (Addresses Sourceforge Feature Request: |
| 3507 | #1257500 and Sourceforge Support Request: #1253511) |
| 3508 | |
| 3509 | Allow the debugfs 'undel' command to undelete an inode without linking |
| 3510 | it to a specific destination directory, since this might require |
| 3511 | allocating blocks that could overwrite some yet-to-be-recovered |
| 3512 | deleted files. (Addresses-Sourceforge-Feature-Request: #967141) |
| 3513 | |

| 3516 | Programmer's Notes: |
| 3517 | ------------------- |
| 3518 | |
| 3519 | Fix configure handling of --sbindir (which should rarely be used, but |
| 3520 | someone did complain, so let's fix it). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: |
| 3521 | #498381) |
| 3522 | |
| 3523 | Updated e2fsprogs.spec file to include a new uuidd package |

| 3539 | Remove the --enable-dynamic-static configure option, and build e2fsck |
| 3540 | dynamically by default. If the user wants e2fsck.static, he/she will |

| 3550 | Improve time-based UUID generation. A new daemon uuidd, is started |
| 3551 | automatically by libuuid if necessary. This daemon is setuid to allow |
| 3552 | updates to /var/lib/libuuid, so the clock sequence number can be |

| 3560 | changes in the feature flags. (Addresses Debian Bug: #454926) |
| 3561 | |
| 3562 | Fix fsck to only treat the '#' character as a comment at the beginning |

| 3603 | =================================== |
| 3604 | |
| 3605 | Fix a potential security vulnerability where an untrusted filesystem |
| 3606 | can be corrupted in such a way that a program using libext2fs will |
| 3607 | allocate a buffer which is far too small. This can lead to either a |
| 3608 | crash or potentially a heap-based buffer overflow crash. No known |
| 3609 | exploits exist, but main concern is where an untrusted user who |
| 3610 | possesses privileged access in a guest Xen environment could corrupt a |
| 3611 | filesystem which is then accessed by the pygrub program, running as |
| 3612 | root in the dom0 host environment, thus allowing the untrusted user to |
| 3613 | gain privileged access in the host OS. Thanks to the McAfee AVERT |
| 3614 | Research group for reporting this issue. (Addresses CVE-2007-5497.) |
| 3615 | |
| 3616 | Fix hueristics in blkid which could cause a disk without partitions to |
| 3617 | be incorrectly skipped when a loopback device is present. (Addresses |
| 3618 | Red Hat Bugzilla #400321.) |
| 3619 | |
| 3620 | Fix e2image so that in raw mode it does not create an image file which |
| 3621 | is one byte too large. |
| 3622 | |
| 3623 | Change mke2fs's usage message so it recommends the preferred -E option |
| 3624 | instead of the deprecated -R option. |
| 3625 | |
| 3626 | Enhance the blkid library so it will recognize squashfs filesystems. |
| 3627 | (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #305151.) |
| 3628 | |
| 3629 | Enhance e2fsck so it will force the backup superblocks to be backed up |
| 3630 | if the filesystem is consistent and key constants have been changed |
| 3631 | (i.e., by an on-line resize) or by e2fsck in the course of its |
| 3632 | operations. |
| 3633 | |
| 3634 | Enhance blkid's detection of FAT filesystems; so that USB disks with |
| 3635 | only a single bootable partition will not get missed. |
| 3636 | |
| 3637 | E2fsck will no longer mark a filesystem as invalid if it has time |
| 3638 | errors (i.e., if superblock mount time or last write time is in the |
| 3639 | future) and the user refuses to fix the problem. |
| 3640 | |
| 3641 | The Ubuntu init scripts don't properly set the system time correctly |
| 3642 | from hardware clock if the hardware clock is configured to tick local |
| 3643 | time instead of GMT time. Work around this as best as we can by |
| 3644 | providing an option, buggy_init_scripts, in /etc/e2fsck.conf which can |
| 3645 | be set on Ubuntu systems. (Addresses Debian Bug #441093, and Ubuntu |
| 3646 | Bug #131201.) |
| 3647 | |
| 3648 | Fix fsck to ignore /etc/fstab entries for bind mounts. (Addresses Red |
| 3649 | Hat Bugzilla #151533.) |
| 3650 | |
| 3651 | Fix e2fsck so that if the superblock is corrupt, but still looks |
| 3652 | vaguely like an ext2/3/4 superblock, that it automatically tries to |
| 3653 | fall back to the backup superblock, instead of failing with a hard |
| 3654 | error. |
| 3655 | |
| 3656 | Make the e2fsprogs program more robust so that they will not crash |
| 3657 | when opening a corrupt filesystem where s_inode_size is zero. |
| 3658 | |
| 3659 | Change e2fsck so it uses sscanf() instead of atoi() so it non-numeric |
| 3660 | arguments are detected as such and the parse error is reported to the |
| 3661 | user. (Addresses Debian Bug #435381.) |
| 3662 | |
| 3663 | Change e2fsck so it will not complain if a file has blocks reallocated |
| 3664 | up to the next multiple of a system's page size. |
| 3665 | |
| 3666 | Fix bug in ext2fs_check_desc() which will cause e2fsck to complain |
| 3667 | about (valid) filesystems where the inode table extends to the last |
| 3668 | block of the block group. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #214765.) |
| 3669 | |
| 3670 | Fix a bug in ext2fs_initialize() which causes mke2fs to fail while |
| 3671 | allocating inode tables for some relatively rare odd disk sizes. |
| 3672 | (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #241767.) |
| 3673 | |
| 3674 | Add Catalan translation and update Dutch and Swedish translations |
| 3675 | from the Translation Project. |
| 3676 | |
| 3677 | Fix big-endian byte-swapping bug in ext2fs_swap_inode_full(). We |
| 3678 | still had an issue when trying to figure out whether we need to |
| 3679 | byte-swap fast symlinks that contained extended attributes. |
| 3680 | |
| 3681 | Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. |
| 3682 | (Addresses SourceForge Bug #1821333.) |
| 3683 | |
| 3684 | |
| 3685 | Programmer's Notes: |
| 3686 | ------------------- |
| 3687 | |
| 3688 | Fix mke2fs tests to avoid needing any significant ^M (CR) characters |
| 3689 | |
| 3690 | Add "make check" to the RPM spec file |
| 3691 | |
| 3692 | Fix "make install" and 'make unstall" in misc/Makefile.in so that it |
| 3693 | works correctly when the prefix is not the root directory. |
| 3694 | |
| 3695 | Fix the resize2fs tests, r_move_itable and r_resize_inode, so they |
| 3696 | clena up after themselves by deleting the test.img temporary file |
| 3697 | after completing the test. |
| 3698 | |
| 3699 | Fixed a corner case bug ext2fs_unlink() when trying to delete the |
| 3700 | first directory entry in a directory block and the last directory |
| 3701 | entry in the previous directory block is not in use. Fortunately |
| 3702 | ext2fs_unlink() is only used by debugfs and e2fsck, and in e2fsck in |
| 3703 | places where it is extremely unlikely to run into this corner case. |
| 3704 | |
| 3705 | Fix missing dependency which would cuase parallel builds to fail. |
| 3706 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug #1842331.) |
| 3707 | |
| 3708 | Fix a build error on newer gcc caused by lib/ext2fs/ismounted.c |
| 3709 | calling open(O_CREATE) with a missing mode parameter. |
| 3710 | |
| 3711 | Fix the test_ss.c in lib/ss so it can be used as an example |
| 3712 | application program for the library as well as a regression test |
| 3713 | suite. |
| 3714 | |
| 3715 | Fix ext2fs_dblist_dir_iterate() so that error codes and abort codes |
| 3716 | are properly passed back up through the call stack. |
| 3717 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d2dc78a | 2007-07-14 09:03:17 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 3718 | E2fsprogs 1.40.2 (July 12, 2007) |
| 3719 | ================================ |
| 3720 | |
| 3721 | A recent change to e2fsck_add_dir_info() to use tdb files to check |
| 3722 | filesystems with a very large number of filesystems had a typo which |
| 3723 | caused us to resize the wrong data structure. This would cause a |
| 3724 | array overrun leading to malloc pointer corruptions and segfaults. |
| 3725 | Since we normally can very accurately predict how big the the dirinfo |
| 3726 | array needs to be, this bug only got triggered on very badly corrupted |
| 3727 | filesystems. |
| 3728 | |
| 3729 | Fix a bug in e2fsck which caused it to incorrectly salvange |
| 3730 | directories when the last entry's rec_len is bogusly too big. This |
| 3731 | resulted in a nonsense filesystem corruption to be reported, and |
| 3732 | required a second run of e2fsck to fully fix up the directory. |
| 3733 | |
| 3734 | Update tune2fs man page to include more discussion of reserved blocks |
| 3735 | (Addresses Launchpad bug #47817) |
| 3736 | |
| 3737 | Update Turkish, Polish, Dutch, and Vietnamese PO files from the |
| 3738 | Translation Project |
| 3739 | |
| 3740 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 23edf9b | 2007-07-08 23:24:19 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 3741 | E2fsprogs 1.40.1 (July 7, 2007) |
| 3742 | =============================== |
Theodore Ts'o | 58b3df7 | 2007-07-08 20:26:51 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 3743 | |
| 3744 | Fix bug which could cause libblkid to loop forever. When revalidating |
| 3745 | a partition where there is obsolete information in /etc/blkid.tab, we |
| 3746 | end up freeing a the type tag without clearing dev->bid_type, causing |
| 3747 | blkid_verify() to loop forever. (Addresses Debian Bug: #432052) |
| 3748 | |
| 3749 | The Turkish translation has a bug in it where it has the translation |
| 3750 | of "E@e '%Dn' in %p (%i)" to "E@E". This causes @E to be expanded at |
| 3751 | @E, recursively, forever, until the stack fills up and e2fsck core |
| 3752 | dumps. We fix this by making e2fsck stop @-expansions after a |
| 3753 | recursive depth of 10, which is far more than we need. |
Theodore Ts'o | d2dc78a | 2007-07-14 09:03:17 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 3754 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1646081) |
Theodore Ts'o | 58b3df7 | 2007-07-08 20:26:51 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 3755 | |
| 3756 | Compile the default mke2fs.conf into mke2fs program. People are |
| 3757 | getting surprised by mke2fs creating filesystems with different |
| 3758 | defaults than earlier versions of mke2fs if mke2fs.conf is not |
| 3759 | present. So we now create a built in version of mke2fs.conf file |
| 3760 | which is used by mke2fs if the /etc/mke2fs.conf is not present. |
| 3761 | (Addresses SourceforgeBug: #1745818) |
| 3762 | |
| 3763 | Improve the config/parse_types.sh helper script. Fix a potential |
| 3764 | security problem if e2fsprogs is built as root (as Gentoo does!). In |
| 3765 | addition fix the script and how it is called from the configure script |
| 3766 | so that it does the right thing when cross-compiling. (Fixes Gentoo |
| 3767 | bug: #146903) |
| 3768 | |
| 3769 | Update Vietnamese, French, and Dutch PO files from the Translation |
| 3770 | Project. Also created a new e2fsprogs.pot file for translator. |
| 3771 | |
| 3772 | Fix bogus strip permission errors when building under Debian. When |
| 3773 | building the e2fsprogs dpkg's, the dh_strip command emits a large |
| 3774 | number of error messages caused by the permissions not being right. |
| 3775 | So run dh_fixperms before running dh_strip. |
Theodore Ts'o | 58b3df7 | 2007-07-08 20:26:51 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 3776 | |
| 3777 | Programmer's Notes: |
| 3778 | ------------------- |
| 3779 | |
| 3780 | Add new function: profile_set_default(). This function sets the value |
| 3781 | of the pseudo file "<default>". If the file "<default>" had |
| 3782 | previously been passed to profile_init(), then def_string parameter |
| 3783 | will be parsed and used as the profile information for the "<default>" |
| 3784 | file. |
| 3785 | |
| 3786 | Fix mk_cmds's error reporting so that it is unambiguous that it is the |
| 3787 | mk_cmds script which is generating the error. (Obviates Gentoo patch: |
| 3788 | e2fsprogs-1.32-mk_cmds-cosmetic.patch) |
| 3789 | |
| 3790 | Fix the test suite to use LC_ALL instead of LANG. LC_ALL is the "high |
| 3791 | priority" environment variable that overrides all others, where as |
| 3792 | LANG is the lowest priorty environment variable. If LC_ALL is set, it |
| 3793 | doesn't matter whether LANG, LANGUAGE, LC_COLLATE, LC_MESSAGES, and |
| 3794 | the all the rest are set. This will assure that the locale when |
| 3795 | running the test suites is the "C" locale. (Obviates Gentoo patch: |
| 3796 | e2fsprogs-1.38-tests-locale.patch) |
| 3797 | |
| 3798 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 57f4850 | 2007-06-29 23:09:16 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 3799 | E2fsprogs 1.40 (June 29, 2007) |
| 3800 | ============================== |
| 3801 | |
| 3802 | Fix divide by zero error in blkid's NTFS probing logic. |
Theodore Ts'o | d7b6472 | 2007-06-24 17:32:47 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 3803 | |
| 3804 | Add new blkid -g option which causes the blkid cache to be garbage |
| 3805 | collected. |
| 3806 | |
| 3807 | Fix a bug in libblkid which could cause the internal field bid_type to |
| 3808 | become corrupted. Fortunately bid_type isn't used much, and bid_label |
| 3809 | and bid_uuid is only used by debugging code, so the impact of this bug |
| 3810 | was very minor. |
| 3811 | |
| 3812 | Mke2fs will now store the RAID stride value when a filesystem is |
| 3813 | created with a requested RAID stride, and then use it automatically in |
| 3814 | resize2fs. |
| 3815 | |
| 3816 | Mke2fs has a sanity check added to make sure (inode_size * num_inodes) |
| 3817 | isn't too big. In some cases Lustre users have tried specifying an |
| 3818 | inode size of 4096 bytes, while keeping an inode ratio of one inode |
| 3819 | per 4096 bytes. |
| 3820 | |
| 3821 | Improve sanity check in e2fsck's algorithm for finding a backup |
| 3822 | superblock, so that it won't accidentally find a superblock that was |
| 3823 | located in the journal, and then later reject it as being not a valid |
| 3824 | backup superblock. |
| 3825 | |
| 3826 | Fix e2fsck get_size logic so that it will work with the Linux floppy |
| 3827 | driver. The Linux floppy driver is a bit different from the other |
| 3828 | block device drivers, in that if the device has been opened with |
| 3829 | O_EXCL, it disallows another open(), even if the second open() does |
| 3830 | not have the O_EXCL flag. (Addresses Debian Bug: #410569) |
| 3831 | |
| 3832 | Fix error checking of badblock's last-block and start-block arguments. |
| 3833 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #416477) |
| 3834 | |
| 3835 | Fix e2fsck so that it doesn't overwrite the backup superblocks when |
| 3836 | recovering a journal until the master superblock has been confirmed as |
| 3837 | being sane. |
| 3838 | |
| 3839 | Change the blkid library to be much more paranoid about concluding |
| 3840 | that a partition contains an NTFS filesystem, and fetch the UUID and |
| 3841 | LABEL information from NTFS filesystems. (Addresses Launchpad Bug: |
| 3842 | #110138) |
| 3843 | |
| 3844 | Factor out the code which sets the default journal size and move it |
| 3845 | into libext2fs. |
| 3846 | |
| 3847 | Enhance e2fsck so it will recreate the ext3 journal if the original |
| 3848 | journal inode was cleared to due it being corrupt after finishing the |
| 3849 | filesystem check. |
| 3850 | |
| 3851 | Fix e2fsck so that it updates the journal inode if it is corrupted and |
| 3852 | the backup journal information from the superblock was successfully |
| 3853 | used to recover the filesystem. |
| 3854 | |
| 3855 | Fix e2fsck so that it checks all of the blocks in the journal inode |
| 3856 | for validity. The original code only checked the direct blocks to |
| 3857 | make sure the journal inode was sane. Unfortunately, if some or all |
| 3858 | of the indirect or doubly indirect blocks were corrupted, this would |
| 3859 | not be caught. |
| 3860 | |
| 3861 | Add support in blkid to detect LUKS encrypted partitions. |
| 3862 | |
| 3863 | Add extra sanity checks for extended attributes in the case where the |
| 3864 | size is zero but the offset is very large. |
| 3865 | |
| 3866 | Fix byte-swapping issues for large inodes in ext2fs_read_inode_full() |
| 3867 | and ext2fs_get_next_inode_full(). |
| 3868 | |
| 3869 | Clarify the copyright licenses used by the various libraries in |
| 3870 | the top-level COPYING file (Red Hat Bugzilla: 166058) |
| 3871 | |
| 3872 | Make mke2fs's defaults when /etc/mke2fs.conf doesn't exist more sane. |
| 3873 | |
| 3874 | Fix mke2fs and debugfs to support large (> 16 bit) uid's and gid's. |
| 3875 | |
| 3876 | Remove check in e2fsck which requires EA's in inodes to be sorted; |
| 3877 | they don't need to be sorted, and e2fsck was previously wrongly |
| 3878 | clearing unsorted EA's stored in the inode structure. |
| 3879 | |
| 3880 | Allow mke2fs or tune2fs to create a substantially larger journal (up |
| 3881 | to 10,240,000 blocks). |
| 3882 | |
| 3883 | Fix MD superblock detection, and make sure the correct UUID is |
| 3884 | reported from the MD superblock. |
| 3885 | |
| 3886 | Fix a signed vs. unsigned bug in debugfs. |
| 3887 | |
| 3888 | Enhance debugfs's date parser so that it accepts integer values. |
| 3889 | |
| 3890 | Fix e2fsck's pass1c accounting so it doesn't terminate too early if a |
| 3891 | file with multiply claimed blocks is hard linked. or not at all if the |
| 3892 | root directory contains shared blocks |
| 3893 | |
| 3894 | Enhance debugfs so it can modify the block group descriptors using the |
| 3895 | command set_block_group_descriptor. |
| 3896 | |
| 3897 | Improve e2fsck's reporting of I/O errors so it's clearer what it was |
| 3898 | trying to do when an error happens |
| 3899 | |
| 3900 | Fix a bug in in how e2fsprogs byte swaps inodes containing fast |
| 3901 | symlinks that have extended attributes. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: |
| 3902 | #232663 and LTC Bugzilla: #27634) |
| 3903 | |
| 3904 | Fix potential file descriptor leak in ext2fs_get_device_size() in an |
| 3905 | error case. |
Theodore Ts'o | a0d4254 | 2007-04-07 11:05:10 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 3906 | |
| 3907 | Add libreadline.so.5 support to libss. |
| 3908 | |
| 3909 | Impove badblocks -n/-w exclusive usage message. |
| 3910 | |
| 3911 | Fix dump_unused segfault in debugfs when a filesystem is not open |
| 3912 | |
| 3913 | Fix memory leak in blkid library. (Addresses Debian Bug: #413661) |
| 3914 | |
| 3915 | Allow the debugfs lcd command to work w/o a filesystem being open. |
| 3916 | (Addresses LTC Bugzilla #27513) |
| 3917 | |
| 3918 | Fix e2fsck to clear i_size for special devices with a bogus i_blocks |
| 3919 | field on the first pass. |
| 3920 | |
| 3921 | Fix e2fsck to set the file type of the '..' entry when connecting |
| 3922 | a directory to lost+found. (Addresses Lustre Bug: #11645) |
| 3923 | |
| 3924 | Enhance e2fsck to recover directories whose modes field were corrupted |
| 3925 | to look like special files. This is probably only useful in |
| 3926 | artificial test cases, but it will be useful if we ever do the "inodes |
| 3927 | in directory" idea for ext4. |
| 3928 | |
| 3929 | Allow debugfs to dump (and rdump) > 2GB files. (Addresses Debian Bug: |
| 3930 | #412614) |
| 3931 | |
| 3932 | Fix resize2fs parsing of size parameter (in sector units). This was |
| 3933 | actually a bug in libe2p's parse_num_blocks() function. When handling |
| 3934 | the 's' suffix, it was ignoring the blocksize information passed in |
| 3935 | from the caller and always interpreting the number in terms of a 1k |
| 3936 | blocksize. (Addresses Debian Bug: #408298) |
| 3937 | |
| 3938 | There was a floating point precision error which could cause e2fsck to |
| 3939 | loop forever on really big filesystems with a large inode count. |

| 3950 | platform (Addresses Debian Bug: #397044) |

| 3952 | Add explanatory message to badblocks that -n and -w are mutually exclusive |
| 3953 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #371869) |
| 3954 | |
| 3955 | Allow debugfs and dumpe2fs to support fs features under development. |
| 3956 | |
| 3957 | Add support for the new flag EXT2_FLAG_SOFTSUPP_FEATURES flag to |
| 3958 | ext2fs_open() , which allows application to open filesystes with features |
| 3959 | which are currently only partially supported by e2fsprogs. |

| 3972 | Fix resize2fs so that it gives user-intelligible error messages if the |
| 3973 | filesystem or the kernel does not support on-line resizing. |
| 3974 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #380548) |
| 3975 | |
| 3976 | Require mke2fs -F -F for really dangerous operations, since -F is |
| 3977 | needed for less dangerous operations such as creating filesystems |
| 3978 | images in regular files, or creating filesystems on whole block |
| 3979 | devices. These relatively innocuous usages should NOT be confused |
| 3980 | with running mke2fs on an apparently-mounted or in-use filesystem. |
| 3981 | |
| 3982 | Allow the default inode size to be specified into the mke2fs.conf |
| 3983 | file. |
| 3984 | |
| 3985 | Make the smallest default journal size is big enough so that on-line |
| 3986 | resizing should always work. |
| 3987 | |
| 3988 | Fix silly spelling error in e2fsck. (Addresses SourceForge bug: |
| 3989 | #1531372) |
| 3990 | |
| 3991 | Fix debugfs coredump when lsdel is run without an open filesystem |
| 3992 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #378335) |
| 3993 | |
| 3994 | Fix debugfs display bug us that bytes that have the high bit set are |
| 3995 | displayed as "ec" instead of "ffffffec". |
| 3996 | |
| 3997 | Add support in lsattr so it will display the EXT4_EXTENTS_FL flag. |
| 3998 | |
| 3999 | Device mapper scanning wasn't working in the blkid library because the |
| 4000 | pathnames had an extra "/dev" when they were being probed. |
| 4001 | |
| 4002 | Add GFS/GFS2 support to the blkid library. |
| 4003 | |
| 4004 | Fix blkid support of empty FAT filesystem labels. |
| 4005 | |
| 4006 | Avoid recursing forever (or for a long time) when the blkid library |
| 4007 | searches for a device and there are symlinks to directories in /dev. |
| 4008 | |
| 4009 | Avoid unaligned halfword access in blkid when accessing FAT |
| 4010 | superblocks, as this will cause Sparc/Solaris systems to throw a |
| 4011 | SIGBUS error. |
| 4012 | |
| 4013 | The latest devmapper libraries requires pthreads, add -lpthreads to |
| 4014 | the static link libraries for e2fsck.static if devmapper is enabled. |
| 4015 | (Addresses Debian bug: #388718) |
| 4016 | |
| 4017 | Improve the (non-installed, for experts only) findsuper program by |
| 4018 | printing the uuid and label from the superblocks, as well as the |
| 4019 | starting and ending offsets of the filesystem given the information in |
| 4020 | the superblock. Omit by default printing superblocks that are likely |
| 4021 | found in located in an ext3 journal unless an explicit -j option is |
| 4022 | given. |

| 4027 | Use FreeBSD's DIOCGMEDIASIZE and DIOCGDINFO ioctls if available when |
| 4028 | determining a partition's size, since binary searching to determine |
| 4029 | the device doesn't work on FreeBSD. |
| 4030 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d7b6472 | 2007-06-24 17:32:47 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4031 | Documentation about UUID's is available in enough places, and it's |
| 4032 | awkward to deal with debian-legal's insanities. So I'm caving in the |
| 4033 | "more-lunatic-than-RMS" wing of Debian by removing RFC-4122 so we |
| 4034 | don't have do the dfsg tarball. Also remove the rule that only tried |
| 4035 | to install RFC-4122 on Ubuntu, since Ubuntu seems to want to fetch |
| 4036 | e2fsprogs exclusively from Debian. (Addresses Debian Bug: #407107) |
| 4037 | |
| 4038 | Fix the info-dir line so that the menu name does not contain a .info |
| 4039 | prefix. First of all, it's ugly, secondly, it causes the install-info |
| 4040 | command to fail to remove the com_err info file from the |
| 4041 | /usr/share/info/dir file when the comerr-dev package is removed and |
| 4042 | purged. (Addresses Debian Bug: #401711) |

| 4052 | Programmer's notes: |
| 4053 | ------------------- |
| 4054 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a0d4254 | 2007-04-07 11:05:10 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4055 | E2fsck now supports the %It expansion when printing a problem report. |
| 4056 | It will print the type of the inode in the problem context. |
| 4057 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 26bcc2c | 2006-10-02 13:34:48 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4058 | Fix misc/Makefile.in so that it builds even if e2fsck hasn't been built yet |
| 4059 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1565561) |
| 4060 | |
| 4061 | Remove unused variables and other lint/gcc -Wall cleanups |
| 4062 | |
| 4063 | Add check to ext2fs_get_device_size() so it will return EFBIG for for |
| 4064 | filesystems contained in regular files where the filesystem image size |
| 4065 | is returned by stat64(). |
| 4066 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 7809bc5 | 2006-11-14 23:49:07 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4067 | Set local environment variables to C so mk_cmds and compile_et always |
| 4068 | work. (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #1532177) |
| 4069 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 26bcc2c | 2006-10-02 13:34:48 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4070 | Added the 64-bit byte swapping function ext2fs_swab64(). |
| 4071 | |
| 4072 | Added two new helper functions to prevent 2**31/2**32-1 overflow |
| 4073 | problems: ext2fs_div_ceil() and e2p_percent(). |
| 4074 | |
| 4075 | Create new ext2fs library inline functions ext2fs_group_first_block() |
| 4076 | and ext2fs_group_last_block() in order to calculate the starting and |
| 4077 | ending blocks in a block group. |
| 4078 | |
| 4079 | Create the generated files read-only to remind developers not to edit them. |
| 4080 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 7809bc5 | 2006-11-14 23:49:07 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4081 | Add support for autoconf 2.60 (with backwards compatibility for older |
| 4082 | versions of autoconf). |
| 4083 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 26bcc2c | 2006-10-02 13:34:48 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4084 | Added an "make rpm" target to top-level Makefile |
| 4085 | |
| 4086 | Added various FreeBSD portability fixes. |
| 4087 | |
| 4088 | Exclude mercurial files from the RPM build tree to speed up copy/build. |
| 4089 | |
| 4090 | Use root_sysconfdir to define the locations of mke2fs.conf and |
| 4091 | e2fsck.conf instead of using a hard-coded /etc pathname. |
| 4092 | |
| 4093 | Prevent e2fsck.h and ext2_ext_attr.h from getting included multiple times. |
| 4094 | |
| 4095 | Fixed "make clean" in blkid's Makefile.in file from removing tst_*.c files. |
| 4096 | |
| 4097 | If diff -u is supported, use it to report test failures. |
| 4098 | |
| 4099 | Updates/improvements to RPM spec file |
| 4100 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 7809bc5 | 2006-11-14 23:49:07 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4101 | Add on-disk format definitions for the following new features: |
| 4102 | EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_HUGE_FILE, EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_GDT_CSUM, |
| 4103 | EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINK, EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_64BIT, |
| 4104 | EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE |
| 4105 | |
| 4106 | Add a new make target "checked-failed" in the tests directory which |
| 4107 | reruns any failed tests |
| 4108 | |
| 4109 | Update draft-leach-uuids-guids-01.txt with rfc4122.txt |
| 4110 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a0d4254 | 2007-04-07 11:05:10 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4111 | Fix miscellaneous bugs reported by Coverity: Dead code, potential nul |
| 4112 | pointer dereferences, memory leaks, etc. None were security-criticial |
| 4113 | problems. |
| 4114 | |
| 4115 | Fix up usage and decrement error messages in the test_icount program |
| 4116 | |
| 4117 | Add debugging code to the com_err library; if the environment variable |
| 4118 | COMERR_DEBUG is set to 1, print out debugging messages as error tables |
| 4119 | are added and removed from the com_err library. If the |
| 4120 | COMERR_DEBUG_FILE environment variable is set (and the process is not |
| 4121 | setuid) the debugging messages may be redirected to a file. |
| 4122 | |
| 4123 | Change all of the e2fsprogs programs to use the newer add_error_table() |
| 4124 | and remove_error_table() interfaces instead of the much older |
| 4125 | initialize_*_error_table() function. |
| 4126 | |
| 4127 | Add TDB support into the ext2fs library. This allows us to have a |
| 4128 | guaranteed library we can count on always being present so we can |
| 4129 | store data in an on-disk database. |
| 4130 | |
| 4131 | Add support for using TDB to store the icount data, so we don't run out |
| 4132 | of memory when checking really large filesystems. |
| 4133 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d7b6472 | 2007-06-24 17:32:47 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4134 | Change the regression test suite so that it skips empty test directories. |
| 4135 | |
| 4136 | Define the l_i_iversion field in ext2_inode. The l_i_version field is |
| 4137 | now defined from the old l_i_reserved1 field in the ext2 inode. This |
| 4138 | field will be used to store high 32 bits of the 64-bit inode version |
| 4139 | number. |
| 4140 | |
| 4141 | Add Makefile production rule for e2fsprogs.spec in case it gets |
| 4142 | deleted. |
| 4143 | |
| 4144 | Add new function profile_get_uint() to allow for a clean way to fetch |
| 4145 | unsigned integers from the context. |
| 4146 | |
| 4147 | Add test to make sure the ext2 superblock structure is 1024 bytes. |
| 4148 | |
| 4149 | Fix typo in name of f_dup4 regression test |
| 4150 | |
| 4151 | Add new function blkid_gc_cache() which performs a garbage collection |
| 4152 | pass on the /etc/blkid.tab file. |
| 4153 | |
| 4154 | The ext2fs_open() function now sets EXT2_FLAG_MASTER_SB_ONLY. In |
| 4155 | general, only e2fsck (after the filesystem is clean), tune2fs, and |
| 4156 | resize2fs should change the backup superblocks by default. Most |
| 4157 | callers of ext2fs_open() should not be touching any superblock fields |
| 4158 | which require the backups to be touched. |
| 4159 | |
| 4160 | Add new function to libext2fs, ext2fs_default_journal_size(), which |
| 4161 | returns the default journal size. |
| 4162 | |

| 4165 | ============================= |
Theodore Ts'o | 34a2611 | 2006-03-29 20:40:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4166 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 34a2611 | 2006-03-29 20:40:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4167 | Fix 32-bit cleanliness in e2fsprogs so that we can support filesystems |
| 4168 | between 2**31 and 2**32 blocks. |
| 4169 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 34a2611 | 2006-03-29 20:40:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4170 | Change mke2fs to use /etc/mke2fs.conf as a configuration file to |
| 4171 | configure the filesystem features, blocksize, and inode_ratio for |
| 4172 | different filesystem types. |
| 4173 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 6c09475 | 2006-05-29 11:47:25 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4174 | Mke2fs will now create filesystems hash trees and on-line resizing |
| 4175 | enabled by default, based on the new /etc/mke2fs.conf file. |
| 4176 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 34a2611 | 2006-03-29 20:40:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4177 | The e2fsprogs tools (resize2fs, e2fsck, mke2fs) will open the |
| 4178 | filesystem device node in exclusive mode to prevent accidents by |
| 4179 | system administrators. In the case of resize2fs and mke2fs, it will |
| 4180 | only use exclusive mode if the filesystem is not mounted. |
| 4181 | |
| 4182 | Fixed a bug in mke2fs which caused it to to fail when creating the |
| 4183 | resize inode for large filesystems. (Addresses Debian Bug #346580) |
| 4184 | |
Theodore Ts'o | bae5564 | 2006-05-14 17:31:48 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4185 | When allocating space for the RAID filesystems with the stride |
| 4186 | parameter, mke2fs will now place each portion of the group's inode |
| 4187 | table right up after the superblock (if present) in order to minimize |
| 4188 | fragmentation of the freespace. |
| 4189 | |
| 4190 | Speed up mke2fs and e2fsck by writing inode and block bitmaps more |
| 4191 | efficiently by writing the inode and block bitmaps in one pass, thus |
| 4192 | reducing the number of disk seeks required. |
| 4193 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 34a2611 | 2006-03-29 20:40:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4194 | Add support for on-line resizing to resize2fs. |
| 4195 | |
| 4196 | Fix blkid library so that logic to determine whether or not a device's |
| 4197 | cached information in /etc/blkid.tab needs to be verified or not |
| 4198 | doesn't get confused by a system clock which is insane (for example, |
| 4199 | if the battery is dead on a Macintosh running PPC Linux. (Addresses |
| 4200 | Red Hat Bug: #182188) |
| 4201 | |
| 4202 | The blkid library will now store the UUID of the external journal used |
| 4203 | by ext3 filesystems, so that in the future, the userspace mount binary |
| 4204 | can use this to find the location of the external journal and pass |
| 4205 | this information to the kernel. |

Theodore Ts'o | f322785 | 2005-12-31 16:45:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4217 | #327580) These problems will be fixed automatically in preen mode |
| 4218 | since Debian's boot sequence bogusly doesn't set the time correctly |
| 4219 | until potentially very late in the bootup process, and this can cause |
| 4220 | false positives which will cause users' systems to fail to boot. |

Theodore Ts'o | bae5564 | 2006-05-14 17:31:48 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4240 | Resize2fs will now automatically determine the RAID stride parameter that |
| 4241 | had been used to create the filesystem, and use that for newly created |
| 4242 | block groups. The RAID stride parameter may also be manually specified |
| 4243 | on the command line using the new -S option to resize2fs. |

| 4256 | silently failing, and so that setting the i_size actually sets i_size |
| 4257 | correctly. |
| 4258 | |
| 4259 | Add a new debugfs command, set_current_time, which sets fs->now so |
| 4260 | that regression test suites can repeatedly modify the filesystem's |
| 4261 | last_write fields. |

| 4280 | |
Theodore Ts'o | f2b74cd | 2005-08-22 01:20:23 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4281 | Allow fractional percentages to the -m option in mke2fs and tune2fs |
| 4282 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #80205) |
| 4283 | |
| 4284 | Use fstat/fstat64 in getsize.c if the the target is a regular file, |
| 4285 | instead of attempting to do a binary search. Fix some fd leaks in |
| 4286 | error cases. |
| 4287 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 34a2611 | 2006-03-29 20:40:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4288 | Add support for device mapper library to the blkid library to ensure |

| 4290 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4c02c41 | 2005-12-09 19:20:01 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4291 | Fix the blkid library so that it notices when an ext2 filesystem is |
| 4292 | upgraded to ext3. |
| 4293 | |
| 4294 | Improve the blkid's library VFAT/FAT detection; it now understands |
| 4295 | labels stored in the root directory, and is more paranoid about |
| 4296 | checking the FAT superblock values. |
| 4297 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 34a2611 | 2006-03-29 20:40:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4298 | Fixed a fd leak in the uuid library which was causing problems for the |

| 4300 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4c02c41 | 2005-12-09 19:20:01 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4301 | Add support for the reiser4 and software suspend partitions to the |

| 4304 | |
Theodore Ts'o | f2b74cd | 2005-08-22 01:20:23 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4305 | Fix a compile_et bug which miscount the number of error messages if |

| 4332 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 7e2ec01 | 2006-04-22 04:29:16 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4333 | Update config.guess and config.sub to latest version (2006-02-23) from |

| 4337 | Bugs: #360661, #360317) |
| 4338 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 34a2611 | 2006-03-29 20:40:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4339 | Fixed the Makefile so that they work correctly on newer versions of |
| 4340 | GNU make (i.e., 3.81). |
| 4341 | |
Theodore Ts'o | f2b74cd | 2005-08-22 01:20:23 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4342 | Add valgrind support to the regression test suites, and eliminate |
| 4343 | false positives from valgrind. |
| 4344 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4c02c41 | 2005-12-09 19:20:01 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4345 | Add a regression test suite for the blkid library. |

| 4348 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4c02c41 | 2005-12-09 19:20:01 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4349 | Fix compiler warnings about missing memcpy prototypes. |
| 4350 | |
| 4351 | We no longer have the sparc assembly code in the header file any more, |
| 4352 | so we shouldn't set _EXT2_HAVE_HAS_BITOPS_ for the sparc. This would |
| 4353 | break compiles on the sparc architectures when using gcc. |
| 4354 | |
| 4355 | In the libext2fs library, add the new field fs->now which if non-zero |
| 4356 | is used instead of the system time when setting various filesystem |
| 4357 | fields (last modified time, last write time, etc.) |
| 4358 | |
| 4359 | Fix gcc 4.01 complaints by adding a missing #include <string.h> to |
| 4360 | ext2fs.h which is needed since the inline functions use memcpy(). |
| 4361 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug #1251062) |
| 4362 | |
| 4363 | Use BUILD_CFLAGS and BUILD_LDFLAGS instead of CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in |
| 4364 | the build system when building files in the util directory which are |
| 4365 | needed during the build process. This avoids potential problems when |
| 4366 | cross-compiling and some of the options specified in CFLAGS or LDFLAGS |
| 4367 | are not recognized as valid by the host compiler. (Addresses |
| 4368 | Sourceforge Bug #1261547) |
| 4369 | |
| 4370 | Clean up the blkid library by making the superblock and generic i/o |
| 4371 | functions to be more generic. Clean up interface to the probe |
| 4372 | function, and fix memory leak. Finallly, remove an unneeded reference |
| 4373 | to probe.h in the lib/blkid/resolve.c |
| 4374 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 3285a9c | 2005-12-10 23:05:30 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4375 | Add an ext2fs_read_bb_FILE regression test to confirm proper detection |
| 4376 | of invalid block #'s. |
| 4377 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 34a2611 | 2006-03-29 20:40:23 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4378 | The x86 asm constraints for ext2fs_{set/clear}_bit have been fixed to |
| 4379 | indicate that the the function read/writes the memory location. |
| 4380 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 3285a9c | 2005-12-10 23:05:30 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4381 | Fix various gcc -Wall complaints. |
| 4382 | |
| 4383 | Add a dependency to make sure that the subdirectories are created |
| 4384 | before creating all of the object files, in order to address parallel |
| 4385 | build problem in the library Makefiles. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: |
| 4386 | #1261553) |
| 4387 | |
| 4388 | Add $(LDFLAGS) to the command line argument when generating an ELF or |
| 4389 | Solaris shared library, to allow cross-compile and other builds that |
| 4390 | might need to specify -L paths to needed libraries. (Addresses |
| 4391 | Sourceforge Bug #1261549) |
| 4392 | |
Theodore Ts'o | bae5564 | 2006-05-14 17:31:48 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4393 | Add a new feature, EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_LAZY_BG, which is initially |
| 4394 | intended for testing purposes. It allows an ext2/ext3 developer to |
| 4395 | create very large filesystems using sparse files where most of the |
| 4396 | block groups are not initialized and so do not require much disk |
| 4397 | space. Eventually it could be used as a way of speeding up mke2fs and |
| 4398 | e2fsck for large filesystem, but that would be best done by adding an |
| 4399 | RO_COMPAT extension to the filesystem to allow the inode table to be |
| 4400 | lazily initialized on a per-block basis, instead of being entirely |
| 4401 | initialized or entirely unused on a per-blockgroup basis. |
| 4402 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 6c09475 | 2006-05-29 11:47:25 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4403 | Fix backwards compatibility so e2fsprogs will better compile on Linux |
| 4404 | 2.0.35 systems. |
| 4405 | |
| 4406 | Make test scripts more robust against locale-related environment variables |
| 4407 | |
| 4408 | Fix type warning problem with sizeof() in ext2fs_open2(). |

Theodore Ts'o | 1f965c8 | 2005-06-30 20:06:45 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4414 | ============================== |
| 4415 | |
| 4416 | Fix blkid's test programs (built with "make check") compile correctly |
| 4417 | even without "configure --enable-blkid-debug". |
| 4418 | |
| 4419 | Fix ia64 core dump bug caused by e2fsprogs running afoul of C99 strict |
| 4420 | type aliasing rules on newer gcc compilers. (Addresses Red Hat |
| 4421 | Bugzilla ##161183.) |
| 4422 | |
| 4423 | Fix com_err library to make it more compatible with recent changes |
| 4424 | made to the com_err library in MIT Kerberos V5 version 1.4. |
| 4425 | (Addresses Sourcefroge Bug #1150146) |
| 4426 | |
| 4427 | General cleanup of messages printed by e2fsprogs programs for grammar, |
| 4428 | consistency, and to make life easier for translators. Fixed a few |
| 4429 | strings containing English that had not been marked as needing |
| 4430 | translations. Removed strings that do not need to be translated, to |
| 4431 | make life easier for translators. |
| 4432 | |
| 4433 | Mke2fs and badblocks will take advantage of a feature in Linux 2.6 to |
| 4434 | test to see if a device appears to be in use instead of just relying |
| 4435 | on /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab. (Addresses Debian Bug #308594). |
| 4436 | |
| 4437 | Fix portability problem in the filefrag program affecting platforms |
| 4438 | where the size of an integer is smaller than the size of a long. |
| 4439 | (Addresses Debian Bug #309655) |
| 4440 | |
| 4441 | Mke2fs will now use a larger journal by default for filesystems |
| 4442 | greater than 4GB. (128 MB instead of 32MB). |
| 4443 | |
| 4444 | Mke2fs will refuse to create filesystems greater than 2**31-1 blocks, |
| 4445 | unless forced. This is to avoid signed vs. unsigned kernel bugs in |
| 4446 | block numbers that still need to be fixed. |
| 4447 | |
| 4448 | The blkid program has a new option which will more efficiently search |
| 4449 | for device when it is known (or expected) that only one matching |
| 4450 | device will be found in the system, such as when doing a lookup by |
| 4451 | UUID. |
| 4452 | |
| 4453 | Debian's e2fsprogs-specific initrd fragment will avoid including |
| 4454 | unnecessary libraries into the initrd ramdisk by unsetting LD_PRELOAD |
| 4455 | and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and filtering out libraries found in |
| 4456 | /etc/ld.so.preload. (Addresses Debian Bug: #304003) |
| 4457 | |
| 4458 | Fixed a potential portability issue in the blkid programs for |
| 4459 | architectures where the char type is unsigned. (Addresses Sourceforge |
| 4460 | Bug: #1180585) |
| 4461 | |
| 4462 | Fix a bug in filefrag so that it doesn't falsely count an extra |
| 4463 | discontinuity when the first block found is an indirect block. |
| 4464 | (Addresses Debian Bug #307607). |
| 4465 | |
| 4466 | Fix blkid's recognition of cramfs filesystems, and enhance it to be |
| 4467 | able to handle cramfs labels. |
| 4468 | |
| 4469 | Fix debugfs's stat command to not core dump when a filesystem is not |
| 4470 | open. |
| 4471 | |
| 4472 | Fix e2fsck's handling of error conditions caused by the resize inode |
| 4473 | claiming blocks that are also used by other inodes, a filesystem |
| 4474 | corruption which was commonly caused by a bug in Fedora Core 3's |
| 4475 | resize2fs program. |
| 4476 | |
| 4477 | Fixed bug in filefrag which caused it to fail on non-ext2/3 |
| 4478 | filesystems. (Addresses Debian Bug: #303509) |
| 4479 | |
| 4480 | If the superblock last mount time indicates that the system clock may |
| 4481 | not be accurate, then e2fsck will omit checking inodes' deletion time |
| 4482 | field for indications of a potential corrupted orphaned inode list. |
| 4483 | (Previously e2fsck only ommited these LOW_DTIME checks when the |
| 4484 | superblock's last write time looked insane.) |
| 4485 | |
| 4486 | Fixed a IA64 core dump bug in the e2p library which affected dumpe2fs. |
| 4487 | (Addresses Debian bug #302200) |
| 4488 | |
| 4489 | Make the blkid library more paranoid about being run from setgid |
| 4490 | programs, and to use __secure_getenv() from libc if it is available. |
| 4491 | |
| 4492 | Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. |
| 4493 | (Addresses Debian Bugs: #304591, #304592, #304594, #304597, #304593 |
| 4494 | and Sourceforge Bug: #1189803) |
| 4495 | |
| 4496 | Updated and fixed translations. |
| 4497 | |
| 4498 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| 4499 | details. |
| 4500 | |
| 4501 | Programmer's notes: |
| 4502 | ------------------- |
| 4503 | |
| 4504 | Ext2fs_set_bit(), ext2fs_clear_bit(), and ext2fs_test_bit( have been |
| 4505 | changed to take an unsigned int for the bit number. Negative bit |
| 4506 | numbers were never allowed (and didn't make any sense), so this should |
| 4507 | be a safe change. This is needed to allow safe use of block numbers |
| 4508 | greater than or equal to 2**31. |
| 4509 | |
| 4510 | The compile_et program will avoid recreating generated foo_err.c and |
| 4511 | foo_err.h files if no changes are necessary. The compile_et program |
| 4512 | will also atomically replace these files to avoid a potential parallel |
| 4513 | build race problem on SMP systems. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: |
| 4514 | #1157933) |
| 4515 | |
| 4516 | Added a new function to the blkid library, blkid_probe_all_new(), |
| 4517 | which only probes newly added disk devices, and change |
| 4518 | blkid_find_dev_with_tag() to use this function so that when a |
| 4519 | requested tag is not found, devices that were previously not checked |
| 4520 | are searched before searching all devices in the system. |
| 4521 | |
| 4522 | Added new functions to the blkid library, blkid_dev_set_search() and |
| 4523 | blkid_dev_has_tag(). |
| 4524 | |
| 4525 | E2fsck's problem strings can now use @m and @n as abbrevations for |
| 4526 | "multiply-claimed" and "invalid", respectively. |
| 4527 | |
| 4528 | The e2fsprog.pot file now has an explanation of how the @-expansion |
| 4529 | and %-expansion works, and strings in e2fsck/problem.c which contain @ |
| 4530 | characters now have comments in e2fsprogs.pot with the @-expansion to |
| 4531 | make life easier for translators. |
| 4532 | |
| 4533 | Fixed missing return values in the ext2fs library which could cause it |
| 4534 | to return random garbage in certain error conditions. |
| 4535 | |
| 4536 | Allow the current time to be overriden via the E2FSCK_TIME environment |
| 4537 | variable for use in regression tests. |
| 4538 | |
| 4539 | The test scrpit driver program now exits with a non-zero status if |
| 4540 | there any of its test that it ran failed. |
| 4541 | |
| 4542 | Fixed problems with parabuilds on SMP systems. (Addresses Sourceforge |
| 4543 | Bug: #1157933) |
| 4544 | |
| 4545 | Fixed "make check" so that it compiles correctly even when e2fsprogs' |
| 4546 | header files have not be installed in the system include directories. |
| 4547 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1180572) |
| 4548 | |
| 4549 | Fixed gcc -Wall nits. |

Theodore Ts'o | fd4b28e | 2005-03-21 22:37:03 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4552 | E2fsprogs 1.37 (March 21, 2005) |
| 4553 | =============================== |
| 4554 | |
| 4555 | Add support for checking the validity of Extended Attributes stored in |
| 4556 | inodes to e2fsck. |
| 4557 | |
| 4558 | Add support for dumping the contents of large inodes to debugfs, |
| 4559 | including the extended attributes stored in inodes. |
| 4560 | |
| 4561 | Fix mke2fs, e2fsck, debugfs, and the ext2fs_mkdir function so that |
| 4562 | when we create a new inode we make sure that the extra information in |
| 4563 | the inode (any extra fields in a large inode and any ea-in-inode |
| 4564 | information) is initialized correctly. This can take place when |
| 4565 | mke2fs creates the root and lost+found directory, when e2fsck creates |
| 4566 | a new root inode or a new lost+found directory, and when the user uses |
| 4567 | the debugfs write, mknod, or mkdir commands. Otherwise, the newly |
| 4568 | create inode could inherit garbage (or old EA information) from a |
| 4569 | previously deleted inode. |
| 4570 | |
| 4571 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck so it would notice if a file with an extended |
| 4572 | attribute block was exactly 2**32 blocks, such that i_blocks wrapped |
| 4573 | to zero. |
| 4574 | |
| 4575 | Added support to filefrag to detect files which are using the new |
| 4576 | experimental file extents format, and use the non-ext2 algorithm in |
| 4577 | that case. Fixed a bug to avoid reporting a false discontinuity if |
| 4578 | there is one or more unallocated blocks at the beginning of a file. |
| 4579 | |
| 4580 | Duplicated a check for noticing whether or not the number of blocks |
| 4581 | (given a certain blocksize) is greater than 2**32 when the |
| 4582 | BLKGETSIZE64 ioctl is not available to ext2fs_get_device_size(). This |
| 4583 | allows mke2fs to automatically use a larger blocksize when creating a |
| 4584 | filesystem on a very large device when run on systems that do not |
| 4585 | support BLKGETSIZE64. |
| 4586 | |
| 4587 | Fix the I18N build which was broken in e2fsprogs 1.36 because the |
| 4588 | build system had been switched to treat the .gmo files as shipped |
| 4589 | files (for backwards compatibility with systems that have older GNU |
| 4590 | I18N tools installed), but the gen_tarball.in script was still |
| 4591 | removing the .gmo files from the official source distribution. |
| 4592 | |
| 4593 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for |
| 4594 | details. (Addresses Debian Bugs ##296769, #299341) |
| 4595 | |
| 4596 | Programmer's notes: |
| 4597 | ------------------- |
| 4598 | |
| 4599 | Added new functions to the e2p library which convert between a string |
| 4600 | and os_type: e2p_os2string() and e2p_string2os(), and used them to |
| 4601 | make the generated binaries more compact. |
| 4602 | |
| 4603 | Fixed a compile-time error on Darwin systems. |
| 4604 | |
| 4605 | Cleaned up the lib/ext2fs Makefile slightly. |

Theodore Ts'o | 3eee5e9 | 2005-02-05 18:26:03 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4608 | E2fsprogs 1.36 (February 4, 2005) |
| 4609 | ================================= |
Theodore Ts'o | 2b0dc0a | 2005-01-09 15:53:09 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4610 | |
| 4611 | All of the patches that were applied to Fedore Core 3's |
| 4612 | e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2 have been integrated, although sometimes with a |
| 4613 | lot of bug fixes first. Users of Fedora Core 3 are strongly |
| 4614 | encouraged to upgrade to e2fsprogs 1.36 as soon as possible. |
| 4615 | |
| 4616 | Add support for filesystem with the online resizing via resize inode |
| 4617 | feature. Fixed numerous bugs from the Fedora patches. The Fedora |
| 4618 | patches also didn't bother to do any consistency checking on the |
| 4619 | resize inode, or add any tests to the regression test suite. The "-R |
| 4620 | resize=4g" option to mke2fs was a no-op in the Fedora patches, despite |
| 4621 | being listed in mke2fs's usage message. All of these shortcomings |
| 4622 | have been corrected. |
| 4623 | |
| 4624 | E2fsck can also also fix filesystems trashed by Fedora's resize2fs |
| 4625 | program. In order to do this, the user must run the commands: |
| 4626 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d0a3b46 | 2005-05-05 22:57:44 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4627 | debugfs -w /dev/hdXXX -R "features ^resize_inode" |
Theodore Ts'o | 2b0dc0a | 2005-01-09 15:53:09 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4628 | e2fsck -f /dev/hdXXX |
| 4629 | |
| 4630 | Optionally, the ext2prepare command can be used to re-enable online |
| 4631 | resizing after the filesystem has been fixed. |
| 4632 | |
| 4633 | The fsck program will now accept an optional filedescriptor argument |
| 4634 | to the -C option. (The Fedora version of this patch would sometimes |
| 4635 | cause fsck to ignore a parameter on fsck's command line in some rare |
| 4636 | cases, sigh.) |
| 4637 | |
Theodore Ts'o | dc25697 | 2005-01-26 13:20:12 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4638 | Make sure e2fsprogs doesn't write garbage into the reserved portion of |
| 4639 | large inodes. |
| 4640 | |
| 4641 | Make sure resize2fs releases the blocks belonging to the old inode |
| 4642 | table blocks when moving the inode table. (Addresses Debian Bug: |
| 4643 | #290894) |
| 4644 | |
| 4645 | Skip the r_resize_inode test if resize2fs is not compiled (due to |
| 4646 | configure --disable-resizer) |
| 4647 | |
| 4648 | E2fsck now checks the summary filesystem accounting information, and |
| 4649 | if any of the information is obviously wrong, it will force a full |
| 4650 | filesystem check. (Addresses Debian Bug #291571) |
| 4651 | |
| 4652 | Fix e2fsck to not complain when the resize_inode feature is enabled, |
| 4653 | s_reserved_gdt_blocks is zero, and there is no DIND block allocated in |
| 4654 | the resize inode. |
| 4655 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 8ceb55f | 2005-01-28 12:33:01 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4656 | Fix e2fsck to note delete symlinks that contain an extended attribute |
| 4657 | after the ext_attr feature flag has been cleared. (Addresses Red Hat |
| 4658 | Bugzilla #146284). |
| 4659 | |
Theodore Ts'o | dc25697 | 2005-01-26 13:20:12 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4660 | Add new utility program, copy_sparse.c, which is very useful |
| 4661 | for dealing with large sparse files (such as e2image files). |
| 4662 | |
| 4663 | Add support for jnl_blocks[] for debugfs's set_super_value. |
| 4664 | |
| 4665 | Fix filefrag so that it works correctly with sparse files. |
| 4666 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 3eee5e9 | 2005-02-05 18:26:03 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4667 | Filefrag -v will print first and last blocks. |
| 4668 | |
Theodore Ts'o | dc25697 | 2005-01-26 13:20:12 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4669 | Add interpretation of OS Creator values for FreeBSD and Lites in mke2fs |
| 4670 | and dumpe2fs. |
| 4671 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 8ceb55f | 2005-01-28 12:33:01 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4672 | Add mke2fs support so that it can support filesystems larger than 4TB |
| 4673 | automatically, by retrying with a 4k blocksize if the device size is |
| 4674 | too big to be expressed using a 1k blocksize. (Addresses Sourceforge |
| 4675 | bug #1106631) |
| 4676 | |
Theodore Ts'o | dc25697 | 2005-01-26 13:20:12 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4677 | Change blkid to test for NTFS first because Windows sometimes doesn't |
| 4678 | clear enough of the parition to confuse the probing routines into |
| 4679 | thinking the old filesystem type is still valid. (Addresses Debian |
| 4680 | Bug #291990) |
| 4681 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 66fa0de | 2005-01-11 14:39:55 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4682 | Add support for swap partition label and uuid's in the blkid library. |
| 4683 | |
Theodore Ts'o | dc25697 | 2005-01-26 13:20:12 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4684 | Add support to the blkid library to recognize Oracle ASM volumes. |
| 4685 | |
| 4686 | Make blkid -t display all devices that match the specified criteria, |
Theodore Ts'o | 8ceb55f | 2005-01-28 12:33:01 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4687 | not just the first one, and work more consistently when the blkid |
| 4688 | cache file is not available or set to /dev/null. (Addresses Debian |
| 4689 | Bug #290530 and #292425) |
Theodore Ts'o | dc25697 | 2005-01-26 13:20:12 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4690 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2b0dc0a | 2005-01-09 15:53:09 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4691 | Badblocks will now correctly display block numbers greater than |
| 4692 | 999,999,999 in its progress display. |
| 4693 | |
| 4694 | The tune2fs program will not allow the user from setting a ridiculous |
| 4695 | number of reserved blocks which would cause e2fsck to assume the |
| 4696 | superblock was corrupt. E2fsck's standards for what is a ridiculous |
| 4697 | number of reserved block has also been relaxed to 50% of the blocks in |
| 4698 | the filesystem. |
| 4699 | |
| 4700 | The blkid library will return vfat in preference to msdos, and ext3 in |
| 4701 | preference to ext2 (if the journalling flag is set) so that mount will |
| 4702 | do the right thing. (Addresses Debian bug #287455) |
| 4703 | |
| 4704 | Mke2fs will now use the -E option for extended options; the old -R |
| 4705 | (raid options) option is still accepted for backwards compatibility. |
| 4706 | Fix a double-free problem in resize2fs. (Red Hat Bugzilla #132707) |
| 4707 | |
| 4708 | Mke2fs will now accept a size in megabytes, gigabytes, and other units |
| 4709 | (via "32m" or "4g" on the command line) if the user finds this more |
| 4710 | convenient than specifying a block count. |
| 4711 | |
| 4712 | Fix an obscure, hard-to find bug in "e2fsck -S" caused by an inode |
| 4713 | cache conherency problem. |
| 4714 | |
| 4715 | Debugfs now supports a new command, set_inode_field, which allows a |
| 4716 | user to manually set a specific inode field more conveniently, as well |
| 4717 | as set entries in the indirect block map. |
| 4718 | |
| 4719 | Debugfs's set_super_value command has been enhanced so that the user |
| 4720 | can set most superblock fields, including the date/time fields and |
| 4721 | some of the more newsly added superblock fields. |
| 4722 | |
| 4723 | E2fsprogs programs now accept an offset to be passed to the file |
| 4724 | specifiers, via the syntax: "/tmp/test.img?offset=1024". |
| 4725 | |
| 4726 | E2fsprogs programs will now accept blocksizes up to 65536; kernel |
| 4727 | 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] | 4728 | other architectures with page sizes greater than 4k. There are 2.6 |
| 4729 | kernel patches out there which enable this, but they are of this |
| 4730 | writing still experimental. |
Theodore Ts'o | 2b0dc0a | 2005-01-09 15:53:09 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4731 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4ee558f | 2005-01-19 02:20:04 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4732 | The e2image command now takes the -s option which will scramble |
| 4733 | directory entries for raw image files. |
| 4734 | |
| 4735 | Fix a file descriptor leak in the filefrag program. |
| 4736 | |
| 4737 | Make sure e2fsck doesn't crash when /proc/acpi/ac_adapter is not |
| 4738 | present. |
| 4739 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2b0dc0a | 2005-01-09 15:53:09 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4740 | Fix bug in debugfs where kill_file would lead to errors when deleting |
| 4741 | devices and symlinks. (Sourceforge Bugs #954741 and #957244) |
| 4742 | |
| 4743 | Fix bug in the blkid library when detecting the ocfs1 filesystem |
| 4744 | |
| 4745 | Remove obsolete EVMS 1.x and a.out DLL support. |
| 4746 | |
| 4747 | E2fsck will attempt to recover from a journal containing illegal blocks. |
Theodore Ts'o | 4830112 | 2004-09-19 08:23:41 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4748 | |
| 4749 | Fixed two potential ordering constraint problems in e2fsck which might |
| 4750 | cause the filesystem to be corrupted if e2fsck is interrupted during a |
| 4751 | (extremely narrow) race window. Thanks to Junfeng Yang from the |
| 4752 | Stanford Metacompilation group for pointing this out. |
| 4753 | |
| 4754 | Fixed bug in e2fsck where it would not accurately detect whether or |
| 4755 | not the system is running on adaptor if the ACPI device representing |
| 4756 | the AC adapter didn't correspond to the what was used on IBM |
| 4757 | Thinkpads. |
| 4758 | |
| 4759 | Change e2fsck to accept directories greater than 32MB. |
| 4760 | |
| 4761 | Fix e2fsck so that a checkinterval of zero disables a time-based check |
| 4762 | of the filesystem. |
| 4763 | |
| 4764 | Debugfs will check the DEBUGFS_PAGER enviroment variable in preference |
| 4765 | to the PAGER environment variable. (Addresses Debian Bug #239547) |
| 4766 | |
| 4767 | Tune2fs will not mark rewrite the superblock if the feature bitmasks |
| 4768 | are not modified. |
| 4769 | |
| 4770 | The debugfs program will set the filetype information when creating a |
| 4771 | link. |
| 4772 | |
| 4773 | Add debugfs -d option to use a separate source of data blocks when |
| 4774 | reading from an e2image file. |
| 4775 | |
| 4776 | Add e2image -I option which allows the e2image metadata to be |
| 4777 | installed into a filesystem. |
| 4778 | |
| 4779 | Fixed bug in the badblocks program which caused "done" to always |
| 4780 | appear in english even when a translation was available. (Addresses |
| 4781 | Debian Bug #252836) |
| 4782 | |
| 4783 | The blkid program has a new option -o which controls the output format |
| 4784 | of the blkid program; this is makes blkid more convenient to use in |
| 4785 | shell scripts. |
| 4786 | |
| 4787 | Fix a minor bug in uuid library, which was not using the full 14 bits |
| 4788 | of clock sequence when generating UUID's. |
| 4789 | |
| 4790 | Fix a Y8.8888K problem in the uuid library. |
| 4791 | |
| 4792 | Logsave now creates a new session id for itself to avoid getting |
| 4793 | killed by init whan transitioning between init levels. |
| 4794 | |
| 4795 | Change the licensing of the UUID library to be the 3-clause BSD-style |
| 4796 | license; this allows Apple to use the uuid library in Darwin. |
| 4797 | |
| 4798 | Add ocfs and ocfs2 probe support into the blkid library. |
| 4799 | |
| 4800 | Fix a memory and file descriptor leak in the blkid library. |
| 4801 | |
| 4802 | The blkid library will revalidate the device if the system time is |
| 4803 | earlier than last verification time of the device, since that |
| 4804 | indicates that the system time is probably nottrustworthy. |
| 4805 | |
| 4806 | The blkid library will override the default location of the blkid.tab |
| 4807 | file by the BLKID_FILE environment variable, if it is available. |
| 4808 | |
| 4809 | Change the getsize functions to use the BLKGETSIZE64 ioctl on Linux 2.6. |
| 4810 | |
| 4811 | Add various portability fixes for lame new versions of glibc, Darwin |
| 4812 | and GNU/KFreeBSD, as well as removing XSI:ism's. (Addresses Debian |

| 4822 | Update the rpm spec files so that it works better with Fedora core 2 |
| 4823 | and RH9. |
| 4824 | |
| 4825 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues (see debian/changelog). In |
| 4826 | particular, fixed the Debian initrd scripts. (#241183, #248050, |

| 4830 | Programmer's notes: |
| 4831 | ------------------- |
| 4832 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2b0dc0a | 2005-01-09 15:53:09 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4833 | Fixed various gcc -Wall warnings. |
Theodore Ts'o | 4830112 | 2004-09-19 08:23:41 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4834 | |
| 4835 | The uuid library now has new functions uuid_unparse_upper() and |
| 4836 | uuid_unparse_lower() which forces the case of the hex digits to be |
| 4837 | upper case, or lower case. |
| 4838 | |
| 4839 | The build process has been speeded up by enhancing the subst program |
| 4840 | to update the modtime on the generated files even when the generated |
| 4841 | file hasn't changed. |
| 4842 | |
| 4843 | The uuid library now uses C99 stdint.h types instead of custom types. |
| 4844 | |
| 4845 | Updated config.guess and config.sub with newer versions from the FSF. |
| 4846 | |
| 4847 | Removed out of date .cvsignore files from the source distribution. |
| 4848 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2b0dc0a | 2005-01-09 15:53:09 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4849 | The ext2fs_unlink() function will return an error if both the name and |
| 4850 | inode number are unspecified, to avoid doing something surprising |
| 4851 | (such as unconditionally deleting the first directory entry). |
| 4852 | Directory entries are now deleted by coalescing them with the previous |
| 4853 | directory entry if possible, to avoid directory fragmentation. This |
| 4854 | is not an issue with the e2fsprogs suite, but may be a problem for |
| 4855 | some of the users of libext2fs, such as e2tools. |
| 4856 | |
| 4857 | Add support for version numbers of the form "1.36-rc1". |
| 4858 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4830112 | 2004-09-19 08:23:41 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4859 | Fix build of mke2fs.static. |
| 4860 | |
Theodore Ts'o | dc25697 | 2005-01-26 13:20:12 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4861 | Add basic ext2fs library support for large (EA in inode) inodes. |
| 4862 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4830112 | 2004-09-19 08:23:41 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4863 | The test_io mechanism can now abort after n reads or writes to a |
| 4864 | particular block. The block is specified by TEST_IO_BLOCK environment |
| 4865 | variable, and the read/write count by the TEST_IO_READ_ABORT and |
| 4866 | TEST_IO_WRITE_ABORT environment variables. The block data is now only |
| 4867 | dumped if the 0x10 bit is set in TEST_IO_FLAGS. |
| 4868 | |
| 4869 | UUID_DEFINE() in the uuid library now creates a static variable, with |
| 4870 | __attribute__ ((unused)) if we are using GCC, so that UUID_DEFINE can |
| 4871 | be used in header files. |
| 4872 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2b0dc0a | 2005-01-09 15:53:09 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4873 | Add support for the install-strip and install-shlibs-strip targets, as |
| 4874 | suggested by the GNU coding guielines. "make install" no longer |
| 4875 | strips the binaries which are installed. |
| 4876 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 3eee5e9 | 2005-02-05 18:26:03 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4877 | Remove support for the --enable-old-bitops configure option which was |
| 4878 | only for very old sparc systems. |
| 4879 | |
| 4880 | Remove support for --enable-clear-htree; this was only needed during |
| 4881 | the early development of the htree patch. |
| 4882 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2b0dc0a | 2005-01-09 15:53:09 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4883 | Use Linux-kernel-style makefile output so it is easier to see compiler |
| 4884 | warnings. |
| 4885 | |
| 4886 | Update gettext files to version 0.14.1. |
| 4887 | |
| 4888 | Update to use autoconf 2.5x. |
| 4889 | |
| 4890 | Improved support for compiling e2fsprogs under dietlibc. |
| 4891 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4ee558f | 2005-01-19 02:20:04 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4892 | Make e2fsprogs portable to Solaris and FreeBSD systems. |
| 4893 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 8ceb55f | 2005-01-28 12:33:01 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4894 | Add blkid_verify(), blkid_get_library_version(), and |
| 4895 | blkid_parse_version_string() functions to the blkid library. |
Theodore Ts'o | dc25697 | 2005-01-26 13:20:12 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4896 | |
| 4897 | Add pkg-config files for e2fsprogs's libraries. |
| 4898 | |
| 4899 | Fix "make uninstall" to so that it removes everything that is installed. |
| 4900 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 3eee5e9 | 2005-02-05 18:26:03 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4901 | Add a configure --enable-maintainer-mode option which enables the |
| 4902 | makefile rules to rebuild the configure script from configure.in, and |
| 4903 | to reubuild the .gmo files in po directory. |
| 4904 | |
| 4905 | Drop the sparc assembly bitwise operations; it's less efficient |
| 4906 | than the GCC 3.4 compile code and triggers compiler warnings on |
| 4907 | sparc64. Thanks to Matthias Andree for his analysis and suggestions. |

| 4912 | ================================== |
| 4913 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4830112 | 2004-09-19 08:23:41 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4914 | E2fsck has a new -k option, which in conjunction with the -c options, |
Theodore Ts'o | b70b116 | 2004-02-28 10:52:35 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4915 | preserves the existing badblocks list. |
| 4916 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4830112 | 2004-09-19 08:23:41 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4917 | 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] | 4918 | |
| 4919 | E2fsprogs will now deal correctly with symlinks that contain |
| 4920 | extended attribute information, which can be created using SE Linux. |
| 4921 | (Addresses Debian Bug #232328) |
| 4922 | |
| 4923 | Remove a double longjump into an invalid stack frame bug in e2fsck. |
| 4924 | (This was during an abort sequence, which normally worked on Linux and |
| 4925 | caused a core dump on other operating systems.) |
Theodore Ts'o | c4c30b2 | 2003-12-07 02:16:43 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4926 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 1daf758 | 2004-01-31 22:33:16 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4927 | Fix NLS bug in e2fsck, by avoiding trying to expand an empty string |
| 4928 | (the NLS library will replace "" with the .po header information). |
| 4929 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c4c30b2 | 2003-12-07 02:16:43 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4930 | Fix a bug in mke2fs which caused -T largefile or -T largefile4 to core |
| 4931 | dump due to a division by zero error. (Addresses Debian bug #207082) |
| 4932 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 151a716 | 2003-12-26 14:04:33 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4933 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused it to incorrectly fix a filesystem |
| 4934 | when reconnecting a directory requires creating a lost+found |
| 4935 | directory. (Addresses Debian bug #219640). |
| 4936 | |
| 4937 | Fixed a bug where e2fsck would bomb out if a journal needed to be |
| 4938 | replayed when using an alternate superblock. |
| 4939 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4830112 | 2004-09-19 08:23:41 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4940 | 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] | 4941 | if the laptop is running on battery. The next time fsck runs while |
| 4942 | the system is on the AC mains, or after the grace period is exceeded, |
| 4943 | the filesystem will be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #205177) |
| 4944 | |
| 4945 | E2fsck will inform the user when there are 5 or fewer mounts before a |
| 4946 | filesystem check will be forced. (Addresses Debian bug #157194) |
| 4947 | |
| 4948 | Fix e2fsck's handling of corrupted indirect blocks in the bad block. |
| 4949 | We now correctly handle the case where there is an overlap between a |
| 4950 | block group descriptor or a superblock and a bad block indirect block. |
| 4951 | In the case where the indirect block is corrupted, we now suggest |
| 4952 | "e2fsck -c". |
| 4953 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 1daf758 | 2004-01-31 22:33:16 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4954 | Fix byte swap bugs in e2fsck that caused the journal backup location |
| 4955 | in the superblock and symlinks created by SE Linux to be cleared |
| 4956 | by e2fsck on big-endian machines. (Addresses Debian bug #228723) |
| 4957 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c4c30b2 | 2003-12-07 02:16:43 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4958 | E2fsck -c now replaces the current list of bad blocks with the ones |
| 4959 | found by badblocks. |
| 4960 | |
| 4961 | Fix bugs in e2fsck and tune2fs which could cause a core dump if a |
| 4962 | non-existent LABEL or UUID specifier is to e2fsck or tune2fs. |
| 4963 | |
| 4964 | Fix a potential bug in e2fsck which could cause it to core dump when |
| 4965 | trying to print the location of the backup superblock. |
| 4966 | |
| 4967 | Protect against a potential core dump in e2fsck when printing a |
| 4968 | message about backup superblocks. |
Theodore Ts'o | 858dd7b | 2003-08-02 20:48:35 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4969 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 6826bde | 2003-08-21 02:14:44 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4970 | Add support for backing up the journal inode location in the |
| 4971 | superblock. E2fsck will automatically save the journal information in |
| 4972 | the superblock if it is not there already, and will use it if the |
| 4973 | journal inode appears to be corrupted. ext2fs_add_journal_inode() |
| 4974 | will also save the backup information, so that new filesystems created |
| 4975 | by mke2fs and filesystems that have journals added via tune2fs will |
| 4976 | also have journal location written to the superblock as well. |
| 4977 | Debugfs's logdump command has been enhanced so that it can use the |
| 4978 | journal information in the superblock. |
Theodore Ts'o | c4c30b2 | 2003-12-07 02:16:43 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4979 | |
| 4980 | E2fsck will now update all superblocks when moving the journal inode. |
Theodore Ts'o | 6826bde | 2003-08-21 02:14:44 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 4981 | |
| 4982 | Shrink the size of the e2fsck executable by moving some initialized |
| 4983 | variables to the BSS segment. |
| 4984 | |
| 4985 | E2fsck will avoid printing the ^A and ^B characters which bracket the |
| 4986 | progress bar when stdout and stdin are a tty device instead of a pipe |
| 4987 | to another program. (Addresses Debian bug #204137) |
| 4988 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 151a716 | 2003-12-26 14:04:33 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4989 | Debugfs's mkdir command will automatically expand the directory if |
| 4990 | necessary. (Addresses Debian Bug: #217892) |
| 4991 | |
| 4992 | Fixed a bug in debugfs so that copying a file from /dev/null uses the |
| 4993 | correct mode bits. (Addresses Debian Bug: #217456) |
| 4994 | |
| 4995 | If the environment variables DEBUFS_PAGER and PAGER are not set, |
| 4996 | debugfs now searches for the appropriate pager to use, beginning with |
Theodore Ts'o | 2b5ddd7 | 2004-01-24 18:54:41 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4997 | /usr/bin/pager, and then falling back to 'more' and 'less'. |
Theodore Ts'o | 1daf758 | 2004-01-31 22:33:16 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 4998 | (Addresses Debian bug #221977) |
| 4999 | |
Theodore Ts'o | b70b116 | 2004-02-28 10:52:35 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5000 | Debugfs will now support 2.6 device numbers where the major or minor |
| 5001 | number may be larger than 255. (Addresses Sourceforge bug #865289) |
| 5002 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 4830112 | 2004-09-19 08:23:41 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 5003 | Fix debugging printf in resize2fs. (Addresses Debian Bug #271605) |
| 5004 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 1daf758 | 2004-01-31 22:33:16 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5005 | Chattr now stops processing options when it sees '--'. (Addresses |
| 5006 | Debian bug #225188) |
Theodore Ts'o | 151a716 | 2003-12-26 14:04:33 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5007 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 858dd7b | 2003-08-02 20:48:35 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 5008 | Fix regression tests so they work correctly when e2fsprogs is compiled |
| 5009 | with configure --disable-htree. |
| 5010 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 1daf758 | 2004-01-31 22:33:16 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5011 | Fix bug in uuid library when there is no network card and the library |
| 5012 | is generating a time-based uuid. The random MAC address was not |
| 5013 | correctly generated to be a multicast address. |
| 5014 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 858dd7b | 2003-08-02 20:48:35 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 5015 | Add compile_et extensions from Heimdall that were missed the first time |
Theodore Ts'o | 4830112 | 2004-09-19 08:23:41 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 5016 | around. |
Theodore Ts'o | 858dd7b | 2003-08-02 20:48:35 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 5017 | |
| 5018 | Fix bug in badblocks when using O_DIRECT; we need to make sure that |
| 5019 | we're reading from an offset which is page aligned. For read-only and |
| 5020 | read-write tests, we try to recover after an error so that we can |
| 5021 | continue reading on page-aligned boundaries. (Addresses Debian Bug |
| 5022 | #203713) |

| 5034 | Programmer's notes: |
| 5035 | ------------------- |
| 5036 | |
Theodore Ts'o | b70b116 | 2004-02-28 10:52:35 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5037 | Fixed a build problem so that e2fsprogs would compile with the |
| 5038 | --enable-profile option to configure selected. (Addresses Sourceforge |
| 5039 | bug #811408) |
| 5040 | |
| 5041 | Fixed C++ problems with the ext2fs.h header. (Addresses Red Hat |
| 5042 | Bugzilla Bug #112448) |
| 5043 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c4c30b2 | 2003-12-07 02:16:43 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5044 | Centralize code which calculates the location of the superblock |
| 5045 | and block group descriptors so that it is in a single library routine. |
| 5046 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 6826bde | 2003-08-21 02:14:44 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 5047 | Added two new functions, ext2fs_file_open2() and |
| 5048 | ext2fs_inode_io_intern2() which take a pointer to an inode structure. |
| 5049 | |
| 5050 | Fix compile_et to output the correct prototype for |
| 5051 | initialize_xxx_err_table_r() in the header file. (Addresses Debian |
| 5052 | bug #204332) |
| 5053 | |
| 5054 | In the lib/et makefile, make sure com_err.info is deleted on "make clean". |
| 5055 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 858dd7b | 2003-08-02 20:48:35 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 5056 | Fix 64-bit warnings in e2fsprogs pass1b by using inttypes.h if |
| 5057 | present. This is for when we try stuffing an int into void * pointer. |
| 5058 | |
| 5059 | Fix type-punning which can cause gcc 3.x to miscompile code by getting |
| 5060 | confused about pointer aliasing. ext2fs_getmem(), ext2fs_free_mem(), |
| 5061 | and ext2fs_resize_mem() all now take a 'void *' instead of a 'void |
| 5062 | **'. The EVMS code uses an ugly union approach since we don't want to |
| 5063 | modify the EVMS interfaces. |
| 5064 | |
| 5065 | Make sure all Makefiles use $(MAKE) rather than hardcoded "make", to |
| 5066 | aid build process on systems can use invoke GNU make as "gmake". |
| 5067 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c4c30b2 | 2003-12-07 02:16:43 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5068 | Added regression testing for mke2fs. |
| 5069 | |
| 5070 | Fixed gcc -Wall nitpicks. |
| 5071 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 1daf758 | 2004-01-31 22:33:16 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5072 | Fixed various compiler warnings. |
| 5073 | |
| 5074 | Add portability fixes for FreeBSD and for using fsctl under Darwin to |
| 5075 | support ext2 ioctl's. |
| 5076 | |

Theodore Ts'o | 9c7ec17 | 2003-07-26 01:03:34 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 5078 | E2fsprogs 1.34 (July 25, 2003) |
| 5079 | =============================== |
| 5080 | |
| 5081 | Fixed a bug introduced in E2fsprogs 1.30 which caused fsck to spin in |
| 5082 | a tight loop while waiting for a child fsck to exit in some cases. |
| 5083 | This burns CPU times which slows down the low-level filesystem check. |
| 5084 | |
| 5085 | Added code to mke2fs to assure that the default block size for a |
| 5086 | filesystem is at least as big as the sector size of the device, if it |
| 5087 | can be determined. |
| 5088 | |
| 5089 | Changed mke2fs and resize2fs to round the default size of a filesystem |
| 5090 | to be an even multiple of the VM pagesize in order to avoid a Linux |
| 5091 | kernel bug introduced when the storage of the buffer cache was moved |
| 5092 | into the page cache. |
| 5093 | |
| 5094 | Mke2fs will warn the user when creating a filesystem with journaling |
| 5095 | and a blocksize greater than 4096. (Addresses Debian bug #193773) |
| 5096 | |
| 5097 | Fixed a bug in resize2fs which caused it to fail on filesystems with a |
| 5098 | non-empty bad block list. Resize2fs now discards any blocks on the |
| 5099 | badblock list which are no longer part of the filesystem as the result |
| 5100 | of a filesystem shrink. (Note: this means that shrinking and then |
| 5101 | enlarging a filesystem is no longer a reversible operation; |
| 5102 | information about bad blocks in the part of the filesystem which is to |
| 5103 | be chopped off will be lost.) |
| 5104 | |
| 5105 | Changed resize2fs so the user can use prefixes to specify the units of |
| 5106 | the new filesystem size (sectors, kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes), |
| 5107 | and to make the error and informational messages explicitly display |
| 5108 | the blocksize used by the filesystem, in order to avoid confusion. |
| 5109 | (Addresses Debian bug: #189814) |
| 5110 | |
| 5111 | Added a new debugfs command, dump_unused, which dumps the contents of |
| 5112 | all unused blocks to stdout. (Useful as an emergency try-to-find |
| 5113 | deleted data command.) |
| 5114 | |
| 5115 | Added a new debugfs command, imap, which prints the location of a |
| 5116 | specified inode in the inode table. |
| 5117 | |
| 5118 | Fixed a bug in the badblocks program which caused it to use one bit of |
| 5119 | randomness in its non-destructive read/write test, instead of using a |
| 5120 | full 8 bits of randomness. |
| 5121 | |
| 5122 | Added a new option (-t) to badblocks, which allows the user to control |
| 5123 | the test pattern(s) used when checking a disk. |
| 5124 | |
| 5125 | The blkid probe function now more correctly detects UDF filesystems. |
| 5126 | |
| 5127 | Fixed a bug in the blkid library which caused it to not update its |
| 5128 | cache if a filesystem changes from having a label to not having a |
| 5129 | label. |
| 5130 | |
| 5131 | Fixed a bug in the blkid library wihch could avoid an infinite loop |
| 5132 | in blkid_find_dev_with_tag() if /proc is not mounted and there the |
| 5133 | /etc/blkid.tab file has not yet been created. |
| 5134 | |
| 5135 | Fixed the badblocks program so that the destructive read/write test |
| 5136 | honors the -c option, and to use O_DIRECT when possible to avoid |
| 5137 | thrashing the system block buffer cache. |
| 5138 | |
| 5139 | Fixed various NLS issues. |
Theodore Ts'o | c8a4040 | 2005-06-05 16:42:20 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 5140 | - Added Czech and Swedish translations |
Theodore Ts'o | 9c7ec17 | 2003-07-26 01:03:34 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 5141 | - Removed testing NYC translation |
| 5142 | - Fixed NLS support for message abbrevations in e2fsck |
| 5143 | - Remove de-utf.po, since we shouldn't have two versions using different |
| 5144 | charset encodings. |
| 5145 | - Used ngettext() (abbreivated with the macro P_(str1, str2, n)) to |
| 5146 | simplify the statistics reporting in e2fsck. |
| 5147 | |
| 5148 | Changed configure.in so that its defaults for *BSD systems no longer |
| 5149 | build an fsck wrapper, and not to install in /usr/local by default. |
| 5150 | |
| 5151 | Fixed some minor spelling errors/typo's in e2fsck and the configure |
| 5152 | script. |
| 5153 | |
| 5154 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues (see debian/changelog). |
| 5155 | |
| 5156 | Updated and clarified man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug #195616) |
| 5157 | |
| 5158 | Programmer's notes: |
| 5159 | ------------------- |
| 5160 | |
| 5161 | Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks. |
| 5162 | |
| 5163 | Updated gettext implementation used by e2fsprogs to 0.11.5, and enable |
| 5164 | NLS support by default. (Added partial workaround for gettext/Darwin |
| 5165 | incompatibility problems.) |
| 5166 | |
| 5167 | Added full MIT KRB5 and Himdall compaibility support to the com_err |
| 5168 | library and the compile_et program. (Addresses Debian bug #191900) |
| 5169 | |
| 5170 | Added the blkid_known_fstype() function to the blkid library, which |
| 5171 | returns true if it is passed a filesystem type which is recognized by |
| 5172 | the blkid probing functions. |
| 5173 | |
| 5174 | Improved the documentation for the blkid library. |
| 5175 | |
| 5176 | Added the ext2fs_get_device_sectsize() function the the ext2fs library, which |
| 5177 | returns the hardware sector size of a device, if it is available. |
| 5178 | |
| 5179 | Added a dependency in the blkid library's .so file to the uuid |
| 5180 | library, since the former uses the latter. (Addresses Debian bug |
| 5181 | #194094) |
| 5182 | |
| 5183 | Added --with-diet-libc and --disable-evms to the configure script. |
| 5184 | |
| 5185 | Fixed a minor memory leak in the badblocks program. |
| 5186 | |
| 5187 | Fixed a portability problem in tune2fs --- not all systems have strptime(). |
| 5188 | |
| 5189 | Fixed a portability problem in debugfs with the use of getopt() more |
| 5190 | than once. Old-style BSD, new-style BSD, and Linux C libraries all do |
| 5191 | things differently. |
| 5192 | |
| 5193 | Add support Windows support to ext2fs_get_device_size(). |
| 5194 | |
| 5195 | Added (normally disabled) debugging code to the Unix I/O manager which |
| 5196 | causes it to disable all userspace caching if the NO_IO_CACHE is |
| 5197 | defined. |
| 5198 | |
| 5199 | Changed the test I/O manager so it can always be linked into e2fsck, |
| 5200 | mke2fs, and tune2fs if enabled via --enable-test-io-debug to the |
| 5201 | configure script. The test I/O manager will only print any debugging |
| 5202 | information if the TEST_IO_FLAGS or TEST_IO_BLOCK environment |
| 5203 | variables are set, which specifies which I/O operations are logged and |
| 5204 | a block number to watch, respectively. The log messages are sent to |
| 5205 | stderr by default, unless a filename is specified via the |
| 5206 | TEST_IO_LOGFILE environment variable. |

Theodore Ts'o | 508d7f3 | 2003-03-16 20:41:04 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5211 | |
Theodore Ts'o | ba142c1 | 2003-04-16 00:59:59 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 5212 | Added a new utility program, logsave, which captures the output of a |
| 5213 | command in a log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been |
| 5214 | mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in memory until it |
| 5215 | can write out the logfile). This is useful for capturing the |
| 5216 | output of fsck during the boot sequence. |
| 5217 | |
| 5218 | Fixed some portability problems that were causing problems under |
| 5219 | the Cygwin32 environment. |
| 5220 | |
| 5221 | Mke2fs now interprets a negative number to the -b option as a minimum |
| 5222 | block size. |
| 5223 | |
| 5224 | Fixed a bug in mke2fs which was incorrectly checking the argument to |
| 5225 | the -g option if the default block size was used. (Addresses Debian |
| 5226 | bug #188319) |
| 5227 | |
| 5228 | Fsck now explicitly ignores tmpfs and devpts, and it will complain if |
| 5229 | it can not find filesystem checkers for jfs, reseirfs, and xfs. |
| 5230 | |
| 5231 | E2fsck now updates the global free block and inode counters from the |
| 5232 | block group specific counters quietly. This is needed for an |
| 5233 | experimental patch which eliminates locking the entire filesystem when |
| 5234 | allocating blocks or inodes; if the filesystem is not unmounted |
| 5235 | cleanly, the global counts may not be accurate. |
| 5236 | |
| 5237 | Imported bug fixes to the EVMS plugin from the EVMS 2.0 tree. (EVMS |
| 5238 | 2.0 is not yet supported; this only pulled in the bug fixes: fixed |
| 5239 | possible hangs caused by bugs in calling waitpid, and not setting the |
| 5240 | pipe to non-blocking mode; also fixed a file descriptor leak; made |
| 5241 | sure all functions call log entry/exit functions.) |
| 5242 | |
| 5243 | Badblocks now flushes its output file as bad blocks are discovered. |
| 5244 | |
| 5245 | The uuid library is now more paranoid about assuming the correctness |
| 5246 | of the /dev/random device; it mixes in a stream of bytes from |
| 5247 | random/srandom, just in case. |
| 5248 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 39d38b0 | 2003-03-30 23:45:02 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5249 | 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] | 5250 | maintainer of e2fsprogs. Other various Debian-specific packaging |
| 5251 | cleanups. |
Theodore Ts'o | 39d38b0 | 2003-03-30 23:45:02 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5252 | |
| 5253 | Move the source tarball generation functions from the top-level |
| 5254 | makefile to the util/gen-tarball script. |
| 5255 | |
| 5256 | Updated the Turkish .po translation file. |
| 5257 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 1daf758 | 2004-01-31 22:33:16 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5258 | 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] | 5259 | it more compatible with com_err libraries from those distributions. |
| 5260 | |
| 5261 | Changed dumpe2fs to always display the superblock fields relating to |
| 5262 | the journalling and/or directory indexing feature even if those |
| 5263 | features are not enabled. |
| 5264 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 508d7f3 | 2003-03-16 20:41:04 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5265 | Updated and clarify copyright statement vis-a-vis alpha releases of |
| 5266 | e2fsprogs. |
| 5267 | |
| 5268 | The ss library will now try to dynamically link to the readline |
| 5269 | 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] | 5270 | the debugfs program now has line editing and history features. The |
| 5271 | SS_READLINE_PATH environment variable is used to find a readline or |
| 5272 | readline-compatible library. |
Theodore Ts'o | 3809bf1 | 2003-03-07 01:09:57 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5273 | |
Theodore Ts'o | e5dced7 | 2003-03-15 04:28:17 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5274 | E2fsck now finds most duplicate filenames (all when rebuilding all |
| 5275 | directories via the -D option) and offers to delete or rename |
| 5276 | duplicate filenames/directory entries. (Addresses Debian Bug #176814). |
| 5277 | |
| 5278 | Fix bug in e2image. When writing out a raw image file, include data |
| 5279 | blocks from symlinks that do not store the symlink within the inode. |
| 5280 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 3809bf1 | 2003-03-07 01:09:57 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5281 | Fix bug in resize2fs which incorrectly moved the block and inode |
| 5282 | bitmaps for sparse superblock filesystems and incorrectly marked |
| 5283 | blocks as in use. (Addresses Debian bug #174766) |
| 5284 | |
| 5285 | Added a new shared library, the blkid library, which efficiently |
| 5286 | allows fsck, mke2fs, e2fsck, and tune2fs to be able to look up LABEL |
| 5287 | and UUID filesystem specifiers without needing to search all of the |
| 5288 | devices in the system. Instead, the device is looked up in a cache |
| 5289 | file, and then verified to make sure the blkid cache is correct. |
| 5290 | |
| 5291 | Tune2fs and e2label will accept LABEL=xxx and UID=yyy specifiers for |
| 5292 | the device name, using the blkid library. (Addresses Debian bugs |
| 5293 | #166048, #179671) |
| 5294 | |
| 5295 | Fsck now supports backslash escapes in /etc/fstab so that \040 can be |
| 5296 | used for spaces in device labels. |
| 5297 | |
| 5298 | Removed 32-bit limitations for debugfs's dump command. |
| 5299 | |
| 5300 | If the user specifies a large number of inodes, Mke2fs will |
| 5301 | automatically adjust the number of blocks per group to find a valid |
| 5302 | set of filesystem parameters. |
| 5303 | |
| 5304 | Add workaround to detect broken MD devices where when some of the |
| 5305 | underlying devices are marked read-only, writes to the MD device are |
| 5306 | silently dropped. E2fsck will detect if there is an attempt to run |
| 5307 | the journal twice, and abort with an error if this is the case. |
| 5308 | (Addresses IBM Bugzilla bug #1226) |
| 5309 | |
| 5310 | E2fsck will print an error if more than one of the -p/-a, -n or -y |
| 5311 | options are specified. |
| 5312 | |
| 5313 | E2fsck will fix HTREE corruptions in preen mode, without stopping the |
| 5314 | boot process. This is needed because the 2.4 ext2 filesystem |
| 5315 | accidentally had the INDEX_FL backwards compatibility code removed. |
| 5316 | |
| 5317 | Mke2fs no longer creates filesystems with the dir_index flag set by |
| 5318 | default; the user has to specifically request it. |
| 5319 | |
| 5320 | Update and clarified various man pages. (Addresses Debian bugs |
Theodore Ts'o | ba142c1 | 2003-04-16 00:59:59 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 5321 | #173612, #175233, #175113, and #170497, #185945, #188318) |
Theodore Ts'o | 3809bf1 | 2003-03-07 01:09:57 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5322 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 508d7f3 | 2003-03-16 20:41:04 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5323 | Created man page for the mk_cmds program (from the libss library). |
| 5324 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 3809bf1 | 2003-03-07 01:09:57 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5325 | Programmer's notes: |
| 5326 | ------------------- |
| 5327 | |
| 5328 | Fix various gcc -Wall nits. |
| 5329 | |
| 5330 | Fixed a lot of portability problems that caused e2fsprogs not to build |
Theodore Ts'o | e5dced7 | 2003-03-15 04:28:17 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5331 | successfully under Solaris and Apple/Darwin. |
| 5332 | |
| 5333 | Fixed a Makefile dependency to allow building e2fsprogs using parallel |
| 5334 | make jobs. |
Theodore Ts'o | 3809bf1 | 2003-03-07 01:09:57 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5335 | |
| 5336 | Changes to create a subset distribution which consists only of the |
| 5337 | et, ss, uuid, and blkid libraries. The configure script and top-level |
| 5338 | makefile were changed to support working with a subset distribution. |
| 5339 | |
Theodore Ts'o | ba142c1 | 2003-04-16 00:59:59 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 5340 | Removed EXT2_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_BTREE_DIR mention of since it's not |
| 5341 | actually used, and might people who are looking for |
| 5342 | EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_DIR_INDEX, which is in use. |
| 5343 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 508d7f3 | 2003-03-16 20:41:04 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5344 | Updated debian files to fix a number of Lintian warnings. |
| 5345 | |
| 5346 | Updated config.guess and config.sub with newer versions from the FSF. |
Theodore Ts'o | 3809bf1 | 2003-03-07 01:09:57 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5347 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 71df0dc | 2003-04-21 16:17:09 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 5348 | Removed unnecessary libraries from being linked into the fsck, lsattr, |
| 5349 | chattr, and blkid executables. |
| 5350 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 3851301 | 2002-11-09 15:00:56 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5351 | E2fsprogs 1.32 (Nomvember 9, 2002) |
| 5352 | ================================== |
| 5353 | |
| 5354 | Fixed a bug in the Unix I/O routines which caused needless writebacks |
| 5355 | of clean blocks from the unix_io cache (they were erroneously marked |
| 5356 | as being dirty, so they were getting written back to disk before |
| 5357 | getting evicted from the disk cache). This was harmless, but it |
| 5358 | significantly slowed down e2fsck. |
| 5359 | |
| 5360 | Made some other minor optimizations to the Unix I/O routines to save a |
| 5361 | small amount of CPU time. |
| 5362 | |
| 5363 | Updated internationalization files. |
| 5364 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 3809bf1 | 2003-03-07 01:09:57 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5365 | |
Theodore Ts'o | ae65b29 | 2002-11-08 20:08:48 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5366 | E2fsprogs 1.31 (Nomvember 8, 2002) |
| 5367 | ================================== |
| 5368 | |
| 5369 | Update EVMS ext2fsim plugin with EVMS 1.2. (We still support |
| 5370 | compiling the fsim plugin with EVMS 1.0 and 1.1.) Add better error |
| 5371 | handling for child process that die unexpectly. Add a hack to force |
| 5372 | mkfs to create filesystems that won't cause problems with hardware |
| 5373 | that has 2k or 4k minimum blocksize requirements. Read from child |
| 5374 | processes in non-blocking mode, so that the GUI continues to update. |
| 5375 | |
| 5376 | Fix e2fsck so that it returns the appropriate exit code when the root |
| 5377 | filesystem has been changed, so that system's rc scripts will be told that |
| 5378 | the system needs to be rebooted. |
| 5379 | |
| 5380 | Fix a bug in ext2fs_flush/ext2fs_close; when the MASTER_SB_ONLY flag |
| 5381 | was set, some of the descriptor blocks that should have been written |
| 5382 | out were getting skipped. |
| 5383 | |
| 5384 | Changed e2fsck to force out changes to the backup copies of the |
| 5385 | superblock and block group descriptors when important changes are made |
| 5386 | to those data structures. |
| 5387 | |
| 5388 | Fix a bug where e2fsck could erroneously mark a filesystem as being |
| 5389 | clean if a check of dirty filesystem is interrupted with a ^C. (Bug |
| 5390 | introduced in e2fsprogs 1.28.) |
| 5391 | |
| 5392 | If journal debuging is enabled using --enable-jbd-debug, the debugging |
| 5393 | level is now set via the E2FSCK_JBD_DEBUG environment variable. |
| 5394 | |
| 5395 | If byteswapping support is disabled using configure --disable-swapfs, |
| 5396 | skip the tests which depend on byte-swapping, so that "make check" |
| 5397 | won't bomb out. |
| 5398 | |
| 5399 | Lshattr will now display the indexed directory flag. Also, some of |
| 5400 | the more esoteric compression flags are supressed unless compression |
| 5401 | support has been enabled. |
| 5402 | |
| 5403 | Update man pages. |
| 5404 | |
| 5405 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 5d823a4 | 2002-11-01 02:13:53 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5406 | E2fsprogs 1.30 (October 31, 2002) |
| 5407 | ================================= |
| 5408 | |
| 5409 | When resizing a filesystem, and inodes need to moved, resize2fs will |
| 5410 | update the inode's ctime field, and the mtime field of the containing |
| 5411 | directories, so that incremental backups using dump/restore will work |
| 5412 | correctly. |
| 5413 | |
| 5414 | In order to avoid spurious errors, e2fsck wil check the last |
| 5415 | superblock write time to determine whether or not it can safely use |
| 5416 | the LOW_DTIME checks to determine if there are inodes on the orphan |
| 5417 | inode linked list that had somehow gotten disconnected. (Addresses |
| 5418 | Sourceforge bug #620980) |
| 5419 | |
| 5420 | Partition in /proc/partitions that being with the string "lvm" are |
| 5421 | considered real partitions even if they do not end with a number. |
| 5422 | |
| 5423 | Fixed a bug in the the uuid generation function, where if /dev/urandom |
| 5424 | is not present, but /dev/random is, and there isn't sufficient |
| 5425 | entropy, the get_random_byte function could spin a loop forever. |
| 5426 | |
| 5427 | E2fsck, mke2fs, etc. will now reliably notice when image files are |
| 5428 | mounted using the loopback interface. (Addresses Sourceforge bug |
| 5429 | #619119) |
| 5430 | |
| 5431 | When flushing buffers (as is done by badblocks, for example) check to |
| 5432 | see if the BLKFLSBUF ioctl succeeds, and if so, avoid using the |
| 5433 | FDFLUSH ioctl which causes the MD device driver which causes confusing |
| 5434 | syslog messages about obselete ioctl messages. (Addresses Sourceforge |
| 5435 | bug #545832). |
| 5436 | |
| 5437 | Debugfs's write command now checks to see if the destination filename |
| 5438 | exists before creating it. (Addresses Sourceforge bug #478195.) |
| 5439 | |
| 5440 | When installing man pages, search for compressed man pages using all |
| 5441 | commonly used compression extensions (i.e., .Z, .gz, .bz2, etc.) |
| 5442 | |
| 5443 | Fixed a bug in fsck where multiple filesystems specified on the |
| 5444 | command were not being checked in parallel due to a logic bug |
| 5445 | introduced to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment variable. |
| 5446 | |
| 5447 | We have added a new superblock field, s_mkfs_time, which indicates |
| 5448 | when a filesystem was created. It is set via mke2fs, and printed out |
| 5449 | by dumpe2fs, but is not actually touched by the kernel. |
| 5450 | |
| 5451 | Dumpe2fs has been made more robust by not aborting if there is an |
| 5452 | error reading the block/inode bitmaps; instead it will still print out |
| 5453 | the location of the block/inode bitmaps and inode table. |
| 5454 | |
| 5455 | Add support for the an alternative block group descriptor layout which |
| 5456 | allows for on-line resizing without needing to prepare the filesystem |
| 5457 | in advance. (This is the incomat feature flag meta_bg.) |
| 5458 | |
| 5459 | Add support for storing default mount options in the superblock, so |
| 5460 | that the filesystem can be mounted with specific mount options without |
| 5461 | needing to specify them on the mount command line or in the /etc/fstab |
| 5462 | file. |
| 5463 | |
| 5464 | Add support for a new inode flag, which is to be used for indicating |
| 5465 | the top of directory hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator. |
| 5466 | |
| 5467 | Fix e2fsck so that if it creates the lost+found directory, it does so |
| 5468 | with the more apporpriate permissions of 0700. Also change |
| 5469 | mklost+found so that it also creates the directory 0700. |
| 5470 | |
| 5471 | Fixed format bug in e2fsck if NLS is in use. |
| 5472 | |
| 5473 | Add a German translation for e2fsprogs's NLS support. |
| 5474 | |
| 5475 | Fixed e2fsck so that it more handles BAD_BLOCK_IN_INODE_TABLE even at |
| 5476 | the beginning of the inode table. This won't matter much, since if |
| 5477 | there is a bad block at the beginning of the inode table, the root |
| 5478 | directory won't be available. But at least e2fsck won't crash in this |
| 5479 | case. |
| 5480 | |
| 5481 | Fixed endian problems in the htree code for e2fsck and debugfs. |
| 5482 | |
| 5483 | When byte-swapping a filesystem on a PPC architecture, byte-swap the |
| 5484 | bitmaps since the historical big-endian ext2 variant had byte-swapped |
| 5485 | bitmaps, and the ext2fs library assumes this. This fixes the |
| 5486 | regression test suite on PPC machines. |
| 5487 | |
| 5488 | Fix e2image so that it handles a bad block in the inode table |
| 5489 | appropriately. |
Theodore Ts'o | d5e7810 | 2002-09-30 11:33:36 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 5490 | |
| 5491 | E2fsck now uses a more sophisticated algorithm to salvage corrupted |
| 5492 | directories that recovers more information in the corrupted directory |
| 5493 | block. |
| 5494 | |
| 5495 | E2fsck now performs additional consistency checks on indexed (HTREE) |
| 5496 | directories. |
| 5497 | |
| 5498 | Fix bug where efsck might get confused about whether a completely |
| 5499 | empty directory block is an empty leaf block or an interior htree |
| 5500 | node. This could cause e2fsck to get confused into think that a valid |
| 5501 | indexed directory was corrupted. |
| 5502 | |
| 5503 | E2fsck no longer creates an empty directory entry at the end of a |
| 5504 | directory block when optimizing a directory. This would cause some |
| 5505 | earlier versions of the dxdir kernel code to corrupt the directory |
| 5506 | when attempting to split a node containing an empty directory entry. |
| 5507 | |
| 5508 | E2fsck could sometimes in rare circumstances leave the indexed flag |
| 5509 | set after a small directory was optimized by compressing it instead of |
| 5510 | indexing it. (This should never happen in real life, since |
| 5511 | directories that small wouldn't have been indexed, but better safe |
| 5512 | than sorry.) |
| 5513 | |
| 5514 | E2fsck now only updates the master superblock in all cases. This |
| 5515 | slightly shortens its run time. |
| 5516 | |
| 5517 | Ext2ed can deal with directory entries of length 0; previously it |
| 5518 | would get stuck in an infinite loop. |
| 5519 | |
| 5520 | Fsck now has support for reiserfs volumes when parsing LABEL= and UUID= |
| 5521 | specifiers. (Sourceforge patch #613447) |
| 5522 | |
| 5523 | Badblocks will now work correctly on read-only devices such as |
| 5524 | CD-ROM's. (Sourceforge patch #600451) |
| 5525 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 5d823a4 | 2002-11-01 02:13:53 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5526 | Updated and clarified man pages. (Addresses Debian bug #167108) |

Theodore Ts'o | c663305 | 2002-09-24 01:26:50 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 5529 | E2fsprogs 1.29 (September 24, 2002) |
| 5530 | =================================== |
| 5531 | |
| 5532 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could corrupt a directory when optimizing |
| 5533 | it (via the -D option) or rebuiliding the hash tree index with a 1 in |
| 5534 | 512 probability, due to a fence post error. |
| 5535 | |
| 5536 | Fixed a bug in the LVM support code which caused LABEL='xxx' not to |
| 5537 | work correctly. |
| 5538 | |
| 5539 | Mke2fs now enables the directory indexing flag by default. (Since |
| 5540 | this is a compatible feature flag, it's safe to do so.) |
| 5541 | |
| 5542 | Tune2fs will support setting the directory indexing feature flag. It |
| 5543 | will automatically set up the default hash algorithm and hash seed |
| 5544 | fields in the superblock. |
| 5545 | |
| 5546 | If the bone-headed user enters the root filesystem twice in |
| 5547 | /etc/fstab, the -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip |
| 5548 | all of them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not a |
| 5549 | precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind of doubled |
| 5550 | entry in /etc/fstab! |
| 5551 | |

| 5554 | ------------------- |
| 5555 | |
| 5556 | Removed perror declaration in lib/et/internal.h. All modern systems |
| 5557 | can be expected to define perror() these days. Besides, the lib/et |
| 5558 | code wasn't using perror at all anyway. :-) |

Theodore Ts'o | b7bad61 | 2002-08-31 03:00:33 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 5561 | E2fsprogs 1.28 (August 31, 2002) |
| 5562 | ================================ |
| 5563 | |
| 5564 | Add support for the Hashed-Tree Directory Indexing to e2fsck. Support |
| 5565 | for setting the htree flag is not included yet, although it can be |
| 5566 | manually turned on via the debugfs program. |
| 5567 | |
| 5568 | Clarified e2fsck error message which is printed when it cannot find |
| 5569 | sufficient contiguous block when relcating filesystem metadata. |
| 5570 | |
| 5571 | Added support for building an EVMS plugin module for ext2/3. This |
| 5572 | module is substantially the same as the EVMS module shipping with EVMS |
| 5573 | 1.1, with one or two bugfixes. E2fsprogs can also build this plugin |
| 5574 | for use with EVMS 1.0 (which did not include the ext2 plugin module), |
| 5575 | if the configure --enable-old-evms flag is given. |
| 5576 | |
| 5577 | Fsck will search through EVMS volumes when trying to resolve |
| 5578 | filesystem specifications such as LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx. |
| 5579 | |
| 5580 | Added a new utility program, /sbin/findfs, which will return |
| 5581 | filesystem specifications such as LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx, and prints |
| 5582 | the device name. |
| 5583 | |
| 5584 | Update and clarified various man pages. (addresses Debian Bug #145044, |
| 5585 | #146437, #131350, #151990, #144621, #141938) |
| 5586 | |
| 5587 | If there are no filesystems specified on fsck's command line, fsck now |
| 5588 | treat that as if the -As options were given. Previously it would |
| 5589 | simply do nothing. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102) |
| 5590 | |
| 5591 | Mke2fs no longer treats a failure to be able to clear the MD signature |
| 5592 | at the end of the filesystem as a fatal error. (Addresses Debian Bug |
| 5593 | #155007) |
| 5594 | |
| 5595 | The e2p library functions (which are used by lsattr and chattr) now |
| 5596 | double check to make sure the file is a regular file or directory |
| 5597 | before attempting to use the ext2 ioctls. Some device drivers |
| 5598 | unfortunately respond to the ext2 ioctl's with unknown behaviour. |
| 5599 | (Addresses Debian Bug #152029). |
| 5600 | |
| 5601 | The extended attribute handling has been updated to correspond with |
| 5602 | the latest V2 bestbits ACL code. |
| 5603 | |
| 5604 | Fixed bug in e2fsck which caused it to not clear the dtime field when |
| 5605 | processing truncated inodes on the orphan list. This could cause data |
| 5606 | loss(!) if a filesystem is rebooted before a truncate has been |
| 5607 | committed. |
| 5608 | |
| 5609 | E2fsck now uses red/black trees in pass1b, which removes some O(n**2) |
| 5610 | algorithms. This makes e2fsck much faster in the case of severely |
| 5611 | corrupted filesystems where a large number of blocks are claimed by a |
| 5612 | large number of inodes. (Thanks to the 2.5 IDE device driver for |
| 5613 | inspiring this work.) |
| 5614 | |
| 5615 | Resize2fs has been significantly sped up when shrinking and expanding |
| 5616 | a filesystem by a very small number of blocks (for example, when EVMS |
| 5617 | is converting a partition to be an EVMS legacy volume). |
| 5618 | |
| 5619 | Added a new option to e2fsck, -D, which will optimize or compress all |
| 5620 | of the directories in the filesystem. |
| 5621 | |
| 5622 | E2fsck now catches SIGINT and SIGTERM to make sure it will can |
| 5623 | properly clean up and only exit at safe points. Fsck will pass |
| 5624 | SIGINT/SIGTERM to its child processes, and wait until they have all |
| 5625 | exited before it exits. |
| 5626 | |
| 5627 | The uuid parsing code in the uuid library now properly complains when |
| 5628 | an illegally formated uuid is presented to it. (Addresses Debian bug |
| 5629 | #152891) |
| 5630 | |
| 5631 | Restrict use of the 2.4 setrlimit ABI f*ckup to kernels between 2.4.10 |
| 5632 | and 2.4.17, since the workaround can cause problems when using a 2.4 |
| 5633 | kernel with an old version of glibc built with the 2.2 headers. |
| 5634 | |
| 5635 | Fixed a bug in mke2fs where it wasn't properly clearing the initial |
| 5636 | superblock used by other filesystems. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.) |
| 5637 | |
| 5638 | Added support for the synchronous directory feature written by Andrew |
| 5639 | Morton. |
| 5640 | |
| 5641 | The debugfs program can delete directories using the rmdir command. |
| 5642 | |
| 5643 | Add support for 8k and 16k filesystems (for systems with page sizes |
| 5644 | that are greater or equal to 8k or 16k, respectively). Note that |
| 5645 | these filesystems can not be mounted on x86 systems, or other systems |
| 5646 | with only 4k page sizes, due to limitations in the current Linux VM |
| 5647 | code. |
| 5648 | |
| 5649 | Resize2fs requires that the filesystem state be valid and have no |
| 5650 | errors; otherwise, e2fsck -f must be run first. (Previously it simply |
| 5651 | required that the last fsck time be greater than the last mount time.) |
| 5652 | |
| 5653 | Configure now defaults the man pages directory to /usr/share/man on |
| 5654 | Linux systems. |
| 5655 | |
| 5656 | E2fsck now offers to truncate inodes which contain too many blocks (so |
| 5657 | that i_blocks would overflow. Also fixed handling of large sparse |
| 5658 | files. |
| 5659 | |
| 5660 | E2fsck now more completely checks for symlink validity, including |
| 5661 | requiring NULL termination and length checks. |
| 5662 | |
| 5663 | E2fsck will offer to try forcing a disk write to remap a bad block |
| 5664 | after finding a read error when reading a filesystem metadata block. |
| 5665 | |
| 5666 | Fixed a bug in debugfs which caused the -b and -s options to crash |
| 5667 | debugfs, as well as breaking the testb, setb, and clearb functions. |
| 5668 | |
| 5669 | Added a bmap command to debugfs which calculates the logical to |
| 5670 | physical block mapping for a particular inode. |
| 5671 | |
| 5672 | Fixed a bug in code which checked to see if a device was mounted which |
| 5673 | sometimes (rarely) failed in the case of a plain file. |
| 5674 | |
| 5675 | Fixed a bug in resize2fs where when it reported an error, it would |
| 5676 | print a message erroneously indicating that the filesystem had been |
| 5677 | resized before it aborted. |
| 5678 | |
| 5679 | When resizing a plain file which is smaller than the requested size, |
| 5680 | resize2fs will attempt to extended the file so that programs like |
| 5681 | e2fsck will not complain that the file is too small. |
| 5682 | |
| 5683 | Resize2fs will print the actual new size of the filesystem when it is |
| 5684 | finished resizing. |
| 5685 | |
| 5686 | Fixed a bug in debugfs where "ls -l" would report incorrectl file type |
| 5687 | information on big-endian systems. |
| 5688 | |
| 5689 | |
| 5690 | Programmer's notes: |
| 5691 | ------------------- |
| 5692 | |
| 5693 | Fixed collisions with C++ reserved words. |
| 5694 | |
| 5695 | Added portability fixes for building e2fsprogs on the HURD and AIX. |
| 5696 | |
| 5697 | Added the ext2ed program for creation of test cases. (ext2ed has many |
| 5698 | limitations and bugs which make it unsuitable for production use.) |
| 5699 | |
| 5700 | The ext2fs_read_dir_block2 and ext2fs_write_dir_block now take a new |
| 5701 | flag, EXT2_DIRBLOCK_V2_STRUCT, which will will reverse when the |
| 5702 | name_len field is byte swampped on big-endian machines, since in the |
| 5703 | V2 structure, name_len is a char field which is doesn't need to be |
| 5704 | byte swapped --- except if an old-style kernel had byte-swapped the |
| 5705 | name_len field as part of the V1 structure. |
| 5706 | |
| 5707 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a8e7724 | 2002-03-08 03:12:14 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5708 | E2fsprogs 1.27 (March 8, 2002) |
| 5709 | ============================== |
| 5710 | |
| 5711 | The warning messages for mke2fs now go to standard error. |
| 5712 | |
| 5713 | Fixed to make sure "make check" runs all of the test programs with |
| 5714 | LD_LIBRARY_PATH set, so that we test the libraries in the build tree. |
| 5715 | |
| 5716 | The mke2fs program checks the boot sector for the BSD disk label, and |
| 5717 | avoids erasing it if it is there. |
| 5718 | |
| 5719 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused it to core dump if the journal |
| 5720 | inode was missing when it was supposed to be there. |
| 5721 | |
| 5722 | E2fsck now prints ranges in pass 5 when printing deltas for the block |
| 5723 | and inode bitmaps. |
Theodore Ts'o | afa14ba | 2002-03-05 03:31:06 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5724 | |
| 5725 | Debugfs's "ls -l" command now will print out the file type information |
| 5726 | in the directory entry. |
| 5727 | |
| 5728 | Create man pages and hard links for fsck.ext3 and mkfs.ext3. If |
| 5729 | mke2fs is invoked as mkfs.ext3, create the filesystem with a journal. |
| 5730 | |
| 5731 | Debugfs can now examine the experimental directory indexing |
| 5732 | information. |
| 5733 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a471ac5 | 2002-03-05 03:37:06 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5734 | Fixed bug in debugfs which caused it to core dump if modify_inode is |
| 5735 | called without an open filesystem. |
| 5736 | |
| 5737 | The debugfs lsdel command now runs its output through a pager first. |
| 5738 | |
Theodore Ts'o | afa14ba | 2002-03-05 03:31:06 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5739 | When installing manual pages, remove the compressed manual pages first. |
| 5740 | |
| 5741 | Synchronized with Debian's packaging information for e2fsprogs-1.26-1. |
| 5742 | |
| 5743 | Fix the 2.4 resource limitation workaround introduced in 1.26 which |
| 5744 | actually broke things on mips32, sparc32, and Alpha platforms. |
| 5745 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a471ac5 | 2002-03-05 03:37:06 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5746 | Updated the I18N code so that calls to setlocate(LC_CTYPE, 0) are made |
| 5747 | (which is required by the newer libintl libraries). |
| 5748 | |
Theodore Ts'o | afa14ba | 2002-03-05 03:31:06 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5749 | Programmer's notes: |
| 5750 | ------------------- |
| 5751 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a8e7724 | 2002-03-08 03:12:14 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5752 | Fixed various gcc -Wall complaints. |
| 5753 | |
Theodore Ts'o | afa14ba | 2002-03-05 03:31:06 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5754 | Fixed a few memory leaks in the e2fsck journaling code, and in the |
| 5755 | ismounted code checking for a swap device. |
| 5756 | |
| 5757 | Add new inode I/O abstraction interface which exports an inode as |
| 5758 | an I/O object. |
| 5759 | |
| 5760 | Exported ext2_file_flush as a public interface. |
| 5761 | |
| 5762 | In ext2_file_write, we now mark the buffer void * argument as a const, since ext2_file_write doesn't modify the buffer. |
| 5763 | |
| 5764 | Lots of small random portability fixes to make e2fsprogs build under |
| 5765 | AIX --- even without the 5L compatibility toolkit, and even using the |
| 5766 | uber-crippled AIX native C compiler. |
| 5767 | |
| 5768 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 0698739 | 2002-02-03 01:36:54 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5769 | E2fsprogs 1.26 (February 3, 2002) |
Theodore Ts'o | a5f3f5c | 2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5770 | ================================= |
Theodore Ts'o | cd1a79a | 2001-11-27 03:36:42 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5771 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 446314f | 2001-12-24 15:22:27 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5772 | Dumpe2fs will keep going now if the bad block inode can't be read. |
| 5773 | (Previously it stopped with a fatal error.) |
| 5774 | |
| 5775 | E2fsck will now give an opportunity to run the journal even if the |
| 5776 | recovery flag is not set. This is the default behaviour if e2fsck is |
| 5777 | using a backup superblock, since the needs_recovery flag will never be |
| 5778 | set in the backup superblock copies. |
| 5779 | |
| 5780 | E2fsck now automatically finds the backup superblock/group descriptors |
| 5781 | even when the primary superblock is completely destroyed for 2k and 4k |
| 5782 | filesystems. (Previously it just guessed/assumed that we were dealing |
| 5783 | with a 1k filesystem in that case, and users had to manually specify |
| 5784 | the backup superblock number.) |
| 5785 | |
| 5786 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck where it dereferences a null pointer when there |
| 5787 | is a problem opening a filesystem in preen mode. |
| 5788 | |
| 5789 | E2fsck now handles external journals correctly; previously it trashed |
| 5790 | the external journal device if the journal needed to be replayed. |
| 5791 | |
| 5792 | Work around ulimit incompatibility problem caused by recent 2.4 |
| 5793 | kernels; the unix IO module will automatically try to set any resource |
| 5794 | limits to be infinite on startup. |
| 5795 | |
Theodore Ts'o | cd1a79a | 2001-11-27 03:36:42 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5796 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck where it wasn't allocating a new block or inode |
| 5797 | 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] | 5798 | (Addresses Debian Bug #116975) |
Theodore Ts'o | cd1a79a | 2001-11-27 03:36:42 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5799 | |
| 5800 | E2fsck will check and fix botched ext3 V1 to V2 superblock updates by |
| 5801 | clearing the new V2 fields if they do not make sense or if the ext3 |
| 5802 | superblock is version 1 superblock. |
| 5803 | |
| 5804 | E2fsck will automatically relocate the ext3 journal from a visible |
| 5805 | file (i.e., /.journal) to an hidden inode if the filesystem has been |
| 5806 | opened read/write. This allows the users to add a journal while the |
| 5807 | filesystem is mounted, but the next time the system is rebooted, the |
| 5808 | journal file will disappear. This avoids problems with backups, |
| 5809 | stupid operators with superuser bits, etc. |
| 5810 | |
| 5811 | Fix a bug in fsck where it would not support a filesystem type of |
| 5812 | "auto" if the device was specified in terms of LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx. |
| 5813 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a5f3f5c | 2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5814 | Fsck now supports fstab entries of the form "ext3,ext2". It will also |
| 5815 | automatically identify reiserfs filesystems. |
| 5816 | |
| 5817 | The number of processes spawned by fsck can now be limited using the |
| 5818 | FSCK_MAX_INST environment variable. |
| 5819 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 446314f | 2001-12-24 15:22:27 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5820 | Fsck now searchs the LVM proc hierarchy to find logical volumes which |
| 5821 | should be searched for UUID and label information. |
| 5822 | |
Theodore Ts'o | cd1a79a | 2001-11-27 03:36:42 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5823 | Work around a bug in 2.4.10+ kernels by trying to unset the filesize |
| 5824 | limit if at all possible, when opening a block device. (The filesize |
| 5825 | limit shouldn't be applied against writes to a block device.) |
| 5826 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 446314f | 2001-12-24 15:22:27 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5827 | In mke2fs and e2fsck, specifying the -c option twice will now do |
| 5828 | a read/write test on the disk. Update the man pages to encourage |
| 5829 | using the -c option, and to discouraging running badblocks separately, |
| 5830 | since users tend to forget to set the blocksize when running |
| 5831 | badblocks. |
| 5832 | |
Theodore Ts'o | cd1a79a | 2001-11-27 03:36:42 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5833 | Mke2fs now automatically clears the immutable attribute on a |
| 5834 | pre-existing .journal file left over from a previous failed attempt to |
| 5835 | add a journal to an alreadyy-mounted filesystem. |
| 5836 | |
| 5837 | Fixed mke2fs's exit codes to consistently indicate when the mke2fs |
| 5838 | operation failed. |
| 5839 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 446314f | 2001-12-24 15:22:27 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5840 | Mke2fs now creates the lost+found directory with permissions of 0700, |
| 5841 | so that files that had previously lived in protected directory are |
| 5842 | safe if they get dropped in lost+found and the system administrator |
| 5843 | doesn't deal with immediately. (Addresses Debian #bug 118443) |
| 5844 | |
| 5845 | Mke2fs and e2fsck (and all programs that use the |
| 5846 | ext2fs_check_if_mounted function) will now properly identify that a |
| 5847 | device is mounted, even in cases where devfs has confused things with |
| 5848 | multiple devices names with the same identity, or if a dim-witted |
| 5849 | system administrator has done something stupid like creating device |
| 5850 | file aliases in their home directory. Also now checks for swap devices |
| 5851 | by using /proc/swaps. (Addresses Debian bug #106622) |
| 5852 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a5f3f5c | 2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5853 | Added a new option (-T) to tune2fs which sets the time a filesystem |
| 5854 | was last checked. |
| 5855 | |
Theodore Ts'o | cd1a79a | 2001-11-27 03:36:42 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5856 | Speed up e2image when creating sparse raw image files by optimizing |
| 5857 | away excess lseek() system calls. |
| 5858 | |
| 5859 | Fix support of large (> 2GB) files when used as a filesystem in |
| 5860 | mke2fs, tune2fs, debugfs, and findsuper. |
| 5861 | |
| 5862 | Debugfs's stat and icheck commands now properly deals with large (> |
| 5863 | 2GB) files. |
| 5864 | |
| 5865 | Debugfs's set_super_value command now prints out the list of valid |
| 5866 | superblock fields which can be set using the command. |
| 5867 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 446314f | 2001-12-24 15:22:27 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5868 | Debugfs's rm and kill_file command now updates the superblock free block |
| 5869 | and inode counts, thus keeping the filesystem consistent. |
| 5870 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a5f3f5c | 2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5871 | Debugfs's lsdel command now takes an optional argument which allows |
| 5872 | the user to only see the most recently deleted files. |
| 5873 | |
| 5874 | A new command (undel) was added to debugfs which automates |
| 5875 | undeleting a deleted inode and linking it back to a directory. |
| 5876 | |
| 5877 | Debugfs's ls command now takes a new option, -d, which lists |
| 5878 | deleted directory entries. |
| 5879 | |
| 5880 | Debugfs's testb, freeb, setb, and find_free_block commands now take an |
| 5881 | optional count argument. |
| 5882 | |
Theodore Ts'o | cd1a79a | 2001-11-27 03:36:42 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5883 | Add support for a new ext2 file attribute, EXT2_NOTAIL_FL, which will |
| 5884 | be used to signal that a particular inode should not be eligible for |
| 5885 | tail-merging --- this is needed for programs like LILO. |
| 5886 | |
| 5887 | The findsuper (an unreleased, uninstalled utility program) has been |
| 5888 | improved to add extra validity checks and to add a progress meter. |
| 5889 | (It is still an unsupported program; the officially supported way to |
| 5890 | recover from a trashed partition table is to use gpart; findsuper is |
| 5891 | for wizards only. :-) |
| 5892 | |
| 5893 | Debugfs was fixed to compile with "configure --disable-swapfs". |
| 5894 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 446314f | 2001-12-24 15:22:27 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5895 | Cleaned up various manual pages. (Addresses Debian bug #119624, #120171) |
Theodore Ts'o | cd1a79a | 2001-11-27 03:36:42 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5896 | |
| 5897 | Added new translation file for Turkish. |
| 5898 | |

| 5901 | |
| 5902 | Fix general gcc -Wall complaints. |

| 5904 | E2fsprogs (mostly) works with the dietlibc. |
| 5905 | |
| 5906 | The programming texinfo file has been expanded to include description |
| 5907 | of additional libext2fs functions. (Still not compeltely done, but a |
| 5908 | lot of the more important functions have been documented.) |
| 5909 | |
| 5910 | Added a umask structure to struct_ext2_filsys, which currently only |
| 5911 | modifies the behaviour of ext2fs_mkdir(), but if we add any file |
| 5912 | creation functions to libext2fs, we should also make sure they respect |
| 5913 | the umask setting. |
| 5914 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a5f3f5c | 2002-02-03 01:00:22 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 5915 | The build-rpm script was fixed to be a bit more safe. |
| 5916 | |
| 5917 | The tests' Makefile now has a way of automating test case creation |
| 5918 | for e2fsck, using "make testnew". |
| 5919 | |
| 5920 | Created a new function, ext2fs_dir_iterate2 which passes more |
| 5921 | information to the callback function (identical to the one used by |
| 5922 | ext2fs_dblist_dir_iterate). The directory iterator functions take a |
| 5923 | new flag, DIRENT_FLAG_INCLUDE_REMOVED, which will return deleted |
| 5924 | directory entries. If the directory entry is deleted, the callback |
| 5925 | function will be called with the entry paraemter set to |
| 5926 | DIRENT_DELETED_FILE. |
| 5927 | |
| 5928 | Added new functions, ext2fs_inode_alloc_stats and |
| 5929 | ext2fs_block_alloc_stats, which takes updates block/inode allocation |
| 5930 | statistics in the bitmaps, block group descriptors, and superblock |
| 5931 | when inodes or blocks are allocated or deallocated. |
| 5932 | |

Theodore Ts'o | d08a4ce | 2001-09-20 09:47:42 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 5934 | E2fsprogs 1.25 (September 20, 2001) |
| 5935 | =================================== |
| 5936 | |
| 5937 | This is primarily a bug-fix release; no new features were added, but |
| 5938 | there are a number of embarassing bug fixes and cleanups applied. |
| 5939 | |
| 5940 | Fix a bug mke2fs which causes stack garbage to be written to disk when |
| 5941 | zapping disk sectors. (This bug could cause mke2fs to core dump for |
| 5942 | some kernels, I suspect with security enhancement patches.) |
| 5943 | |
| 5944 | Remove unneeded #include of <linux/config.h> which was breaking |
| 5945 | building e2fsprogs on the Hurd. (Addresses Debian bug #112414.) |
| 5946 | |
| 5947 | Updated tune2fs man page to reflect the fact that adding or removing a |
| 5948 | journal doesn't require running e2fsck. |
| 5949 | |
| 5950 | Remove use of AC_REQUIRE from autoconf which had been used to prevent |
| 5951 | AC_CANONICAL_HOST from being called twice; unfortunately this causes |
| 5952 | recent autoconf to bomb out since they don't allow AC_REQUIRE to be |
| 5953 | used outside of autoconf macros. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be |
| 5954 | necessary any more, anyway. |
| 5955 | |
| 5956 | E2fsck will now not fall back to an alternate superblock if the user |
| 5957 | specifies the superblock location explicitly on the command-line. |
| 5958 | This allows easier recovery from a situation where the primary |
| 5959 | superblock and block groups are slightly corrupted, but the backup |
| 5960 | superblocks are completely broken. |
| 5961 | |
| 5962 | Fix problem which caused compile_et and mk_cmds to blow up if |
| 5963 | e2fsprogs was in a directory with a pathname that contained spaces. |
| 5964 | |
| 5965 | We are now more paranoid about checking the entry in /etc/mtab to make |
| 5966 | sure the filesystem is really mounted, since some broken distributions |
| 5967 | (read: Slackware) don't initialize /etc/mtab before checking non-root |
| 5968 | filesystems. (Slackware also doesn't check the root filesystem |
| 5969 | separately, and reboot if the root filesystem had changes applied to |
| 5970 | it, which is dangerous and broken, but there's nothing I can do about |
| 5971 | that.) |
| 5972 | |
| 5973 | Make UUID library C++ friendly by adding appropriate extern "C" |
| 5974 | declarations and using const in the function declarations. |
| 5975 | |
| 5976 | Fix up the com_err texinfo file so that it can product a valid info |
| 5977 | file (previously, it could only be used to generate paper |
| 5978 | documentation using texinfo.tex). |
| 5979 | |
| 5980 | |
Theodore Ts'o | fb70775 | 2001-09-04 15:00:37 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 5981 | E2fsprogs 1.24a (September 2, 2001) |
| 5982 | =================================== |
| 5983 | |
| 5984 | Fix brown-paper bug in mke2fs which caused it to segfault when |
| 5985 | printing the version string. |
| 5986 | |
| 5987 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 109624a | 2001-08-31 00:59:55 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 5988 | E2fsprogs 1.24 (August 30, 2001) |
| 5989 | ================================ |
| 5990 | |
| 5991 | Revert the BLKGETSIZE64 support, since for some distributions, this |
| 5992 | ioctl has been used by an unofficial kernel patch to update the last |
| 5993 | sector on the disk, and this was causing disk corruption problems as a |
| 5994 | result. |
| 5995 | |
| 5996 | Mke2fs is now more careful about zapping swap space signatures and |
| 5997 | other filesystem/raid superblock magic values so that programs like |
| 5998 | mount who try to use hueristics to determine the filesystem type of a |
| 5999 | partition are less likely to be confused. |
| 6000 | |
| 6001 | E2fsck will no longer complain if the the mode of EXT2_RESIZE_INO is a |
| 6002 | regular file (since Andreas Dilger's on-line resizing tools will set |
| 6003 | its mode bits). |
| 6004 | |
| 6005 | Fixed some minor texinfo, man pages nits for spelling errors, |
| 6006 | texinfo warnings, etc. (Addresses Debian bug #110621.) |
| 6007 | |
| 6008 | E2fsprogs program no longer print the filesystem version number |
| 6009 | (i.e. 0.5b), since it only confuses people and doesn't serve any real |
| 6010 | purpose. |
| 6011 | |
| 6012 | E2fsck will once again compile under libc5, since it will supply its |
| 6013 | own version of strnlen if necesssary. |
| 6014 | |
| 6015 | mke2fs and tune2fs will allow the use of UUID= or LABEL= specifiers |
| 6016 | when specifying the external journal device. tune2fs will also search |
| 6017 | devices looking for the externla journal debice when removing. |
| 6018 | |
| 6019 | E2fsprogs 1.23 (August 15, 2001) |
| 6020 | ================================ |
Theodore Ts'o | d1ef5c3 | 2001-07-20 12:35:11 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6021 | |
| 6022 | Add initial support for extended attributes (EA); e2fsck will |
Theodore Ts'o | 6c0a041 | 2001-07-23 00:23:52 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6023 | correctly handle a filesystem with EA's and check the EA blocks for |
| 6024 | corruptions. |
| 6025 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d494bba | 2001-08-09 06:14:42 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6026 | E2fsck's symlink sanity checking has been cleaned up. It now checks |
| 6027 | the i_size value of fast symlinks, and checks for immutable flags |
| 6028 | being set of symlinks, etc. |
| 6029 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c4ac9e1 | 2001-08-15 21:02:23 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6030 | E2fsck now offers to clear inodes which are special files that have a |
| 6031 | non-zero i_blocks or i_size field. (The i_size field check was in the |
| 6032 | previous version of the code, but due to a bug it didn't offer to |
| 6033 | clear the inode unless i_size and i_size_high were both non-zero.) |
| 6034 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d494bba | 2001-08-09 06:14:42 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6035 | E2image can now create "raw" image files, which only contain the |
| 6036 | filesystem metadata placed in a spare file so that e2fsck, dumpe2fs, |
| 6037 | debugfs, etc., can be run directly on the raw image file. |
Theodore Ts'o | bf16d10 | 2001-07-27 22:20:06 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6038 | |
| 6039 | Add support for the 64-bit block device patches. |
| 6040 | |
| 6041 | Fixed bugs in creating external journals with a 1k blocksize. |
| 6042 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d494bba | 2001-08-09 06:14:42 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6043 | Add initial support for external journals (so long as the external |
| 6044 | journal only supports a single filesystem) in e2fsck. |
| 6045 | |
| 6046 | Remove requirement for needing to run fsck on a filesystem after |
| 6047 | removing a journal (either internal or external). |
| 6048 | |
Theodore Ts'o | bf16d10 | 2001-07-27 22:20:06 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6049 | The man pages now document how to create and manage external journals. |
Theodore Ts'o | d1ef5c3 | 2001-07-20 12:35:11 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6050 | |
| 6051 | Speed up the check of an ext3 filesystems by avoiding a needless flush |
| 6052 | of all of the superblock and block group descriptors. |
| 6053 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d494bba | 2001-08-09 06:14:42 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6054 | Speed up creating an internal journal using tune2fs in the case where |
| 6055 | the filesystem has a lot blocks already allocated. |
| 6056 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c4ac9e1 | 2001-08-15 21:02:23 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6057 | Tune2fs has been fixed to make sure that only error messages go to |
| 6058 | stderr, and normal message go to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug #108555) |
| 6059 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d494bba | 2001-08-09 06:14:42 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6060 | 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] | 6061 | now not set the sparse_super feature. (Addresses Debian bug #108165) |
Theodore Ts'o | d494bba | 2001-08-09 06:14:42 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6062 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d1ef5c3 | 2001-07-20 12:35:11 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6063 | Add support in fsck for the filesystem type "auto". |
| 6064 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c4ac9e1 | 2001-08-15 21:02:23 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6065 | Fsck -A will not try to interpret device names for filesystems which |
| 6066 | have a pass number is 0. (Addresses Debian bug #106696). |
| 6067 | |
| 6068 | Fsck prints a warning message if now valid filesystems are passed to |
| 6069 | it. (Addresses Debian Bug #107458.) |
| 6070 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 9249d98 | 2001-07-20 18:14:10 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6071 | E2fsck now gives an explicit warning if there filesystem still has |
| 6072 | errors at the end of the run. (Addresses Debian bug #104502) |
| 6073 | |
Theodore Ts'o | d494bba | 2001-08-09 06:14:42 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6074 | 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] | 6075 | reflects an error. E2fsck will also not run the orphan list if the |
| 6076 | filesystem contains errors, since the orphan list might be corrupted. |
Theodore Ts'o | d494bba | 2001-08-09 06:14:42 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6077 | |
| 6078 | E2fsck now prints the number of large files when given the -v option. |
| 6079 | |
| 6080 | Fixed minor memory leaks in e2fsck. |
Theodore Ts'o | bf16d10 | 2001-07-27 22:20:06 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6081 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c4ac9e1 | 2001-08-15 21:02:23 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6082 | Some minor man pages updates. (Addresses Debian bug #30833, #108174) |

Theodore Ts'o | 19d6b54 | 2001-06-23 00:13:09 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6085 | E2fsprogs 1.22 (June 22, 2001) |
| 6086 | ============================== |
| 6087 | |
| 6088 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck's handling of orphan inodes which are special |
| 6089 | files (i.e., block/character device files, named FIFO's, etc.). |
| 6090 | |
| 6091 | Fixed a bug accidentally introduced in e2fsprogs 1.21 which caused |
| 6092 | tune2fs to fail at adding a journal to a mounted filesystem. |
| 6093 | |
| 6094 | Fixed a few big-endian bugs in e2fsprogs |
| 6095 | * The directory block functions were accidentally reporting |
| 6096 | some directories as corrupted when they weren't. |
| 6097 | * If e2fsprogs is compiled --disable-swapfs, the C language |
| 6098 | equivalents weren't being included for big-endian platforms. |
| 6099 | (Fixes Debian bug #101686). |
| 6100 | |
| 6101 | Fixed a Hurd compilation problem. (Addresses Debian bug #101361) |
| 6102 | |
| 6103 | Programmer's notes: |
| 6104 | ------------------- |
| 6105 | |
| 6106 | Use platform independent method of defining the BLKFLSBUF and FDFLUSH |
| 6107 | ioctls, and allow them to be defined for non-i386 platforms. |
| 6108 | |
| 6109 | The uuid.h header file is now protected against multiple inclusions. |
| 6110 | |
| 6111 | E2fsprogs is now being developed using BitKeeper. Changed the test |
| 6112 | scripts to deal with BK's stripping CR characgters from text files, |
| 6113 | and changed the top-level Makefile.in to avoid including BitKeeper |
| 6114 | files when generating the source tarball. |
| 6115 | |
| 6116 | |
Theodore Ts'o | b90b826 | 2001-06-15 22:54:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6117 | E2fsprogs 1.21 (June 15, 2001) |
| 6118 | ============================== |
Theodore Ts'o | 767de09 | 2001-06-02 01:20:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6119 | |
Theodore Ts'o | b90b826 | 2001-06-15 22:54:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6120 | Added new configure flags which allow a subset e2fsprogs to be built; |
| 6121 | this is most useful for boot floopies, since the resulting shared |
| 6122 | libraries and programs are slimmed down by removing features that |
| 6123 | aren't necessary for a boot floppy. The new flags that were added |
| 6124 | are: --disable-swapfs, which removes support for byte swapping old |
| 6125 | legacy PPC/68k filesystems, --disable-debugfs, which removes support |
| 6126 | for debugfs from the libext2fs library, --disable-imager, which |
| 6127 | removes support for the e2image program, and --disable-resizer, which |
| 6128 | removes support for resize2fs. |
| 6129 | |
| 6130 | E2fsck now prints the number of mounts or days elapsed since the last |
| 6131 | check when e2fsck is forced to check an otherwise clean filesystem. |
| 6132 | |
| 6133 | Tune2fs now prints an informative message about how often a filesystem |
| 6134 | will be checked when adding a journal to the filesystem, to remind the |
| 6135 | user that he/she may want to adjust those parameters using tune2fs |
| 6136 | -c/-i. |
| 6137 | |
| 6138 | Worked around hurd brain-damage which causes e2fsck to sometimes |
| 6139 | believe a filesystem is the root filesystem based on device numbers |
| 6140 | (since Hurd doesn't have dev_t's, which is arguably a POSIX.1 |
| 6141 | violation). |
| 6142 | |
| 6143 | Fixed a bug introduced in 1.20 which caused e2fsck to abort with an |
| 6144 | erroneous error with the -F option was specified. |
| 6145 | |
| 6146 | Fixed a ext3 recovery bug in the revoke handling; synchronized with |
Theodore Ts'o | c05b552 | 2001-06-08 12:03:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6147 | ext3 0.7a. |
| 6148 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 767de09 | 2001-06-02 01:20:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6149 | Fixed two bugs in e2fsck's handling of dup block handling, dealing |
| 6150 | with relatively uncommon edge cases: a directory with an indirect |
| 6151 | block which is claimed by another file, and when the last inode in the |
| 6152 | filesystem has blocks claimed by another file. |
| 6153 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 5a9c036 | 2001-06-02 04:55:57 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6154 | E2fsck now checks to see if the i_size field of a fast symlink is too |
| 6155 | big, and offers to clear the symlink if so. |
| 6156 | |
| 6157 | E2fsck now checks to see if i_size_high of special files is non-zero, |
| 6158 | and offers to clear i_size_high. |
| 6159 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 767de09 | 2001-06-02 01:20:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6160 | Fix e2fsck's handling of incompatible journal flags so that the user |
| 6161 | 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] | 6162 | entirely. (Addresses Debian bug #98527.) |
Theodore Ts'o | 767de09 | 2001-06-02 01:20:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6163 | |
Theodore Ts'o | b90b826 | 2001-06-15 22:54:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6164 | Fixed a bug in fsck which could cause it to core dump if a mix of |
| 6165 | standard and non-standard device names are used in /etc/fstab. |
| 6166 | (Debian bug #100559) |
| 6167 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c05b552 | 2001-06-08 12:03:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6168 | Fixed a bug in debugfs which caused read errors when copying a file to |
| 6169 | not be noticed. |
| 6170 | |
Theodore Ts'o | b90b826 | 2001-06-15 22:54:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6171 | The debugfs set_super_value command can now modify the s_lastcheck field. |
| 6172 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c05b552 | 2001-06-08 12:03:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6173 | Fixed a bug in lsattr and chattr which was accidentally introduced in |
| 6174 | 1.20 to support > 2GB files; both lsattr and chattr wasn't reading |
| 6175 | directories correctly because the change modified the layout of struct |
| 6176 | dirent to be incompatible with the libe2p shared library. |
| 6177 | |
Theodore Ts'o | b90b826 | 2001-06-15 22:54:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6178 | Cleaned up the mke2fs manual page and included a discussion about why |
| 6179 | it's good to periodically check the filesystem even when journaling is |
| 6180 | enabled. |
| 6181 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 767de09 | 2001-06-02 01:20:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6182 | Programmer's notes: |
| 6183 | ------------------- |
| 6184 | |
| 6185 | Fix general gcc -Wall complaints. |
| 6186 | |
| 6187 | The types needed by the ext2 header files are now provided by |
| 6188 | lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h, instead of include/asm/types.h. |
| 6189 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c05b552 | 2001-06-08 12:03:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6190 | 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] | 6191 | in ext2_types.h. Also, if linux/types.h has already been defined, |
| 6192 | don't try to redefine the types. |
Theodore Ts'o | c05b552 | 2001-06-08 12:03:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6193 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 767de09 | 2001-06-02 01:20:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6194 | Fixed make depend script so that it automatically corrects the |
| 6195 | pathname cleanups performed by make -M, so I don't have to fix them up |
| 6196 | by hand. |
| 6197 | |
| 6198 | Fixed the d_loaddump test case to be more robust, and not depend on |
| 6199 | bash'isms. |
| 6200 | |
| 6201 | Removed debugfs's dependence on pread(), which was accidentally |
| 6202 | intrudced in e2fsprogs 1.20 |
| 6203 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c05b552 | 2001-06-08 12:03:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6204 | Fixed a performance bug in the libext2fs's icount routine; the size |
| 6205 | estimate of the icount array was incorrectly being calculated. |
| 6206 | |
Theodore Ts'o | b90b826 | 2001-06-15 22:54:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6207 | Removed use of the badblocks compatibility functions in the e2fsprogs |
| 6208 | programs. |
| 6209 | |
| 6210 | Added paranoia code which protects against strange cases where /etc |
| 6211 | isn't on the root filesystem, or if /etc/mtab doesn't exist. |
| 6212 | |
| 6213 | The header file ext2_types.h is now installed. |
| 6214 | |
| 6215 | Autoconf is used to determine when we are on big-endian machines, |
| 6216 | instead of doing run-time tests, to save a few bytes of code. |
| 6217 | |
| 6218 | The ext2fs_mark_generic_bitmap and ext2fs_unmark_generic_bitmap |
| 6219 | functions are no longer inline functions, which saves space and |
| 6220 | doesn't really cost any real performance. |
| 6221 | |
| 6222 | The ext2fs library no longer depends on the e2p library. (What need |
| 6223 | there was of it --- namely, fsetflags, was coded in-line). |
| 6224 | |
| 6225 | Fixed the makefile so that lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h is generated even |
| 6226 | when the user is stupid and tries compiling the package using "make |
| 6227 | install" as root. |
| 6228 | |
| 6229 | Miscellaneous code cleanups: |
| 6230 | * Added missing files from Makefile.in's SRCS file, so that |
| 6231 | their dependencies would be properly calculated. |
| 6232 | * Removed redundant code |
| 6233 | * Fixed comments in code |
| 6234 | * Removed no-longer unneeded argsused #pragma. |

Theodore Ts'o | 5a009bb | 2001-05-21 05:27:45 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6237 | E2fsprogs 1.20 (May 20, 2001) |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6238 | ============================= |
Theodore Ts'o | 5570a65 | 2000-08-21 01:23:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6239 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6240 | Add support for replaying the ext3 journal purely in user mode, |
| 6241 | including handling the orphaned inode list. Used code contributed by |
| 6242 | Andreas Dilger, with bug fixes and the orphaned inode handling done |
| 6243 | by Theodore Ts'o. |
| 6244 | |
| 6245 | The mke2fs and tune2fs programs can create or modify a filesystem to |
| 6246 | include an ext3 journal. Tune2fs also can be used to remove an ext3 |
| 6247 | journal from a filesystem. |
Theodore Ts'o | 5570a65 | 2000-08-21 01:23:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6248 | |
| 6249 | E2fsck will now check for the existence of a linked list of orphan |
| 6250 | inodes in the superblock, and clear those inodes before starting the |
| 6251 | rest of the filesystem check (but after the journal playback). |
| 6252 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6253 | E2fsck now validates the file descriptor passed to the -C option, |
| 6254 | which saves against the completion bar getting written to an |
| 6255 | unexpected location, such as the disk being checked. (Debian |
| 6256 | bug/wishlist #55220) |
| 6257 | |
| 6258 | E2fsck will now bump the filesystem revision number from zero to one |
| 6259 | if any of the compatibility bits are set. |
| 6260 | |
| 6261 | Fixed a bug where a badly corrupted directory on a big endian system |
| 6262 | could cause e2fsck to die with a bus error. The |
| 6263 | ext2fs_read_dir_block() and ext2fs_process_dir_block() functions in |
| 6264 | the ext2 library now does alignment sanity checks on the rec_len field |
| 6265 | of the directory entry before using it. |
| 6266 | |
| 6267 | The ext2 library has been enhanced to make tune2fs safe to run on |
| 6268 | mounted filesystems. (Users could usually get away with using tune2fs |
| 6269 | on mounted filesystems before, but with the advent of ext3 and |
| 6270 | journaling, it became important to make tune2fs was *really* safe for |
| 6271 | use even when the filesystem being modified is mounted.) E2label is |
| 6272 | now implemented by tune2fs using an argv[0] dispatch, so that e2label |
| 6273 | is also now safe for use on mounted filesystems. |
| 6274 | |
| 6275 | Added a new program, e2image, which creates a backup of critical ext2 |
| 6276 | filesystem data structures. The generated image file can be examined |
| 6277 | using dumpe2fs and debugfs. In the future, e2fsck will be able to use |
| 6278 | the image file to help recover very badly damaged filesystems. |
| 6279 | |
| 6280 | Fixed a number of LFS bugs in e2fsck; very, very large (> 2**42) files |
| 6281 | no longer cause e2fsck to bomb out. Also treat files > 2GB as being |
| 6282 | large file when deciding whether or not the filesystem has large files. |
| 6283 | |
| 6284 | Fixed lsattr and chattr so that they work correctly on large files. |
| 6285 | (Fixes Debian bug #72690.) |
| 6286 | |
| 6287 | Removed limitation in get_device_size() which imposed a one terrabyte |
| 6288 | filesystem limitation. (Most 2.2 kernels still have a signed int |
| 6289 | problem which cause 1 TB block device limitation. Fortunately, the |
| 6290 | kernel patches to fix this are much easier than fixing the 2TB |
| 6291 | limitation in the kernel. :-) |
| 6292 | |
| 6293 | A max_mount_count of zero is now treated as if no mount count were |
| 6294 | set. (Previously, no mount count was indicated by using -1, and a |
| 6295 | mount count of zero caused e2fsck to always be run.) |
| 6296 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 7764856 | 2001-05-14 13:04:44 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6297 | Mke2fs supports two new filesystem types largefile and largefile4. |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6298 | |
| 6299 | Mke2fs now adds some randomness in s_max_mount_count so that multiple |
| 6300 | filesystems won't be all checked at the same time under normal |
| 6301 | operations. |
| 6302 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 5570a65 | 2000-08-21 01:23:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6303 | Fixed bug in the progress bar printing code which could cause e2fsck |
| 6304 | to core dump on an illegal filesystem. |
| 6305 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6306 | Fixed bug in fsck which could allow more than one instance of e2fsck |
| 6307 | to be printing a progress bar. (Debian bug #65267) |
| 6308 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 5570a65 | 2000-08-21 01:23:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6309 | Fsck using a UUID or a LABEL specifier will work even if devfs is |
| 6310 | compiled into the kernel and not mounted. If the pathnames in |
| 6311 | /proc/partitions are incorrect, fsck will search /dev for the correct |
| 6312 | device (using the new ext2fs_find_block_device library function). |
| 6313 | 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] | 6314 | found when they are in use. Support has also been added to support |
| 6315 | additional IDE disks and the DAC 960 device names. (Debian bug #94159) |
| 6316 | |
| 6317 | Fixed a bug in fsck which caused it not deal properly with 16 |
| 6318 | byte long filesystem labels. |
Theodore Ts'o | 5570a65 | 2000-08-21 01:23:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6319 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 5a009bb | 2001-05-21 05:27:45 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6320 | Fsck's -t option has been made a lot more flexible. The semantics for |
| 6321 | what happens if a comma-separated list to fsck has been regularized, |
| 6322 | and it is now possible to filter what filesystems will get checked |
| 6323 | based what is in the filesystem's fstab entry's option field. (Debian |
| 6324 | bug #89483.) |
| 6325 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 5570a65 | 2000-08-21 01:23:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6326 | The dumpe2fs program can now print out the group description |
| 6327 | information in hex, and also prints the location of the superblock and |
| 6328 | block group descriptor for those block groups that have them. |
| 6329 | |
| 6330 | Mke2fs now clears the ext2 superblock before it starts creating a |
| 6331 | filesystem, so that the superblock magic number is only written if the |
| 6332 | filesystem creation process successfully completes. |
| 6333 | |
| 6334 | The debugfs program's stat command now pretty-prints the blocks used |
| 6335 | by an inode so that it's more compact and informative. |
| 6336 | |
| 6337 | The debugfs stats command now uses the same libe2p code (which is used |
| 6338 | by dumpe2fs) to print the superblock header information. This is more |
| 6339 | complete, and it avoids a bit of code duplication. |
| 6340 | |
| 6341 | Added a new debugfs command, set_super_value (ssv) which allows the |
| 6342 | user to set arbitrary superblock fields. |
| 6343 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6344 | Debugfs was extended to support inode numbers in hex (by prefixing |
| 6345 | them with 0x), and so that modify_inode can set the inode generation |
| 6346 | number. Also, there is now a new function command called logdump |
| 6347 | which will dump an ext3 journal. |
| 6348 | |
| 6349 | Fixed a bug in debugfs so that quitting out of the pager doesn't kill |
| 6350 | debugfs. |
| 6351 | |
| 6352 | Debugfs's dump command now stops immediately upon reporting a disk |
| 6353 | read error. (Fixed a bug in ext2fs_file_read library routine which |
| 6354 | caused debugfs not to stop.) (Debian bug #79163) |
| 6355 | |
| 6356 | On systems with /proc/mounts (mainly Linux systems), /proc/mounts is |
| 6357 | checked before /etc/mtab is used, since /proc/mounts is more likely to |
| 6358 | be accurate. |
| 6359 | |
| 6360 | Added portability fixes for Solaris and Linux/ia64. |
| 6361 | |
| 6362 | Various manual pages were clarified and cleaned up. (Fixed debian |
| 6363 | bugs #63442, #67446, and #87216) |
| 6364 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 5570a65 | 2000-08-21 01:23:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6365 | |
| 6366 | Programmer's notes: |
| 6367 | ------------------- |
| 6368 | |
| 6369 | The e2fsck message printer now supports %Iu and %Ig, which will print |
| 6370 | out the inode's user and group owners, respectively. |
| 6371 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6372 | E2fsprogs now includes its own version of include/linux/ext2_fs.h, so |
| 6373 | that no longer dependent on the system having the correct version of |
| 6374 | the kernel header files. |
| 6375 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 5570a65 | 2000-08-21 01:23:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6376 | Added a new function to libext2, ext2fs_find_block_device(), which |
| 6377 | searches the system (i.e., /dev, /devfs, /devices) for a pathname to a |
| 6378 | device given its device number. |
| 6379 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6380 | Added a new function to libext2, ext2fs_sync_device, which centralizes |
| 6381 | all of the places which might try to use the BLKFLSBUF or FDFLUSH |
| 6382 | ioctls (and usually failing to define them since the system header |
| 6383 | files don't usually do this for us, and we're trying to avoid usage of |
| 6384 | kernel include files now). |
| 6385 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 5570a65 | 2000-08-21 01:23:39 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6386 | Added new utility programs in tests/progs: random_exercise and |
| 6387 | hold_inode. They aren't built by default; they're useful for |
| 6388 | exercising ext3 filesystem code. |
| 6389 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6390 | Added a new ext2 filesystem flag, EXT2_FLAG_SUPER_ONLY, which causes |
| 6391 | the filesystem close functions to only update the superblock, and to |
| 6392 | not touch the block group descriptors. Needed by tune2fs when |
| 6393 | modifying a mounted filesystem. |
| 6394 | |
| 6395 | Got rid of struct ext2fs_sb and replaced it with the standard struct |
| 6396 | ext2_super_block from include/linux/ext2_fs.h. Note: this may break |
| 6397 | source (but not binary) compatibility of some users of the ext2 |
| 6398 | library. Those applications should just simply do a global search and |
Theodore Ts'o | 7d614e3 | 2001-06-13 23:49:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6399 | replace of struct ext2fs_sb with struct ext2_super_block, and include |
| 6400 | the new header file <ext2fs/ext2_fs.h> which defines it. |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6401 | |
| 6402 | The ino_t type has been renamed ext2_ino_t to protect applications |
| 6403 | that attempt to compile -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, since this |
| 6404 | inexplicably changes ino_t(!?). So we use ext2_ino_t to avoid an |
| 6405 | unexpected ABI change. |
| 6406 | |
| 6407 | The Makefiles have been reworked so that "make check" can be run from |
| 6408 | the top-level Makefile. |
| 6409 | |
| 6410 | Fix general gcc -Wall complaints and removed dead code. |
| 6411 | |
| 6412 | Remove use of NOARGS, because we assume everyone does ANSI C these |
| 6413 | days. |
| 6414 | |
| 6415 | Added build-rpm script from sct. |
| 6416 | |
| 6417 | New functions ext2fs_image_{inode,super,bitmap}_{read,write} added |
| 6418 | to support e2image. |
| 6419 | |
| 6420 | New function ext2fs_flush_icache which must be called if the |
| 6421 | application program modifies the inode table blocks without going |
| 6422 | through ext2fs_write_inode() interface. |
| 6423 | |
| 6424 | New ext2fs_check_mount_point() function, which will return the mount |
| 6425 | point of a device if mounted. |
| 6426 | |
| 6427 | The io_channel abstraction now has an optional interface, |
| 6428 | io_channel_write_range, which allows specific byte ranges to be |
| 6429 | written. |
| 6430 | |
| 6431 | The unix_io IO channel now supports write-through caching, so that |
| 6432 | journal creation is more efficient. |
| 6433 | |
| 6434 | Added x86 assembly language routines to support byte swapping, to |
| 6435 | reduce executable size. |
| 6436 | |
| 6437 | Fixed bug in the utility program subst so that it's possible to |
| 6438 | replace a substitution variable with a zero-length string. |
| 6439 | |
| 6440 | Fixed numbering e2fsck pass1 problem numbers; an extra zero had |
| 6441 | slipped into some of the problem number. |

Theodore Ts'o | b777e26 | 2000-07-27 01:39:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6443 | E2fsprogs 1.19 (July 13, 2000) |
| 6444 | ============================== |
Theodore Ts'o | ab14676 | 2000-07-07 04:37:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6445 | |
| 6446 | Release the resize2fs program since the timeout before it could |
Theodore Ts'o | 006ea71 | 2000-08-21 03:39:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6447 | be released under the GPL has finally expired. |
Theodore Ts'o | ab14676 | 2000-07-07 04:37:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6448 | |
| 6449 | Add experimental support needed for the ext2 compression patches. |
| 6450 | This requires compiling e2fsprogs with the --enable-compression flag |
| 6451 | to the configure script. |
| 6452 | |
| 6453 | Added ext3 journalling support. E2fsck will run the journal (if |
| 6454 | necessary) by temporarily mounting the filesystem. /sbin/fsck.ext3 is |
| 6455 | installed as a symlink to e2fsck. Fsck has been taught about ext3, |
| 6456 | and treats it the same as ext2 in terms of the progress bar logic. |
| 6457 | Dumpe2fs will display the superblock journaling information if the |
| 6458 | filesystem has a journal. The ext2 library will now permit opening an |
| 6459 | ext3 filesystem with the recovery flag set. This is necessary for |
| 6460 | on-line dump's to work correctly, but there may be issues with this |
| 6461 | working well since ext3 is much less agressive about syncing blocks to |
| 6462 | the filesystem, since they're safe on the journal. |
| 6463 | |
| 6464 | Tune2fs and e2fsck have been changed to allow the mount_count check to |
| 6465 | be disabled by setting max_mount_count to -1. (This was already |
| 6466 | supported by the kernel.) |
| 6467 | |
| 6468 | Create a symbolic link for fsck.ext3, since the e2fsprogs utilities |
| 6469 | are used for ext3 as well. |
| 6470 | |
| 6471 | Added internationalization support for e2fsprogs; must be enabled |
| 6472 | by passing --enable-nls to configure. |
| 6473 | |
| 6474 | Always use the provided ext2fs header files to insulate ourselves from |
| 6475 | kernel version changes. Which include files are used by e2fsprogs |
| 6476 | have also been cleaned up to improve portability. |
| 6477 | |
| 6478 | Limit the number of times that e2fsck updates the progress bar so that |
| 6479 | people who are booting using a 9600 baud console don't get swampped by |
| 6480 | too many updates. |
| 6481 | |
| 6482 | Improved the loop detection algorithm in e2sck's pass #3 so that it is |
| 6483 | much, much faster for large filesystems with a large number of |
| 6484 | directories. |
| 6485 | |
| 6486 | The memory footprint for e2fsck is now slightly smaller than before. |
| 6487 | |
| 6488 | E2fsck now checks if special devices have a non-zero size, and offers |
| 6489 | to clear the size field if it finds such an inode. |
| 6490 | |
| 6491 | E2fsck now checks if special devices have the append-only flag set, |
| 6492 | and offers to clear the inode. |
| 6493 | |
| 6494 | E2fsck now properly handles some "should never fail" cases during a |
| 6495 | bitmap copy in pass5. |
| 6496 | |
| 6497 | E2fsck now properly prints control characters in filenames as ^A .. ^Z. |
| 6498 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6499 | E2fsck now calculates the correct location of the backup superblock in |
| 6500 | the case of filesystem blocksizes > 1k. |
| 6501 | |
| 6502 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck's calculation of the number of inodes_per_block |
| 6503 | which normally didn't cause problems under most filesystem parameters, |
| 6504 | but could cause a valid superblock to be rejected in extreme cases. |
| 6505 | Other checks for validating superblock values were made more |
| 6506 | stringent. |
| 6507 | |
Theodore Ts'o | ab14676 | 2000-07-07 04:37:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6508 | Added non-destructive write testing to the badblocks program, courtesy |
| 6509 | of David Beattie. The badblocks also now has an option to input the |
| 6510 | current set of bad blocks, so that known bad blocks are skipped to |
| 6511 | speed up the badblocks test. There is also a persistent rescan |
Theodore Ts'o | 006ea71 | 2000-08-21 03:39:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6512 | feature which causes badblocks to run until it has completed some |
| 6513 | number of passes without discovering any new bad blocks. |
Theodore Ts'o | ab14676 | 2000-07-07 04:37:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6514 | |
| 6515 | Badblocks now checks to see if the device is mounted and refuses to do |
| 6516 | the tests involving writing to the device if it is mounted. Also, |
| 6517 | badblocks now allows the number of blocks to be checked to be |
| 6518 | defaulted to the size of the partition. |
| 6519 | |
| 6520 | Fixed a bug in fsck which didn't allow non-root users to be able to |
| 6521 | check filesystems if there were any LABEL= or UUID= entries in |
| 6522 | /etc/fstab. |
| 6523 | |
| 6524 | The Hurd doesn't support the filetype filesystem feature. The mke2fs |
| 6525 | program now makes sure that for the Hurd, the filestype feature is |
| 6526 | turned off. E2fsck will check to see if the filetype feature is |
| 6527 | turned on for Hurd filesystems, and offer to turn off the feature. |
| 6528 | |
| 6529 | Mke2fs now has a safety check to make sure the number of blocks do not |
| 6530 | exceed 32 bits even on a 64 bit platform. |
| 6531 | |
| 6532 | Really fixed a bug in fsck to allow "fsck -As" to run interactive |
| 6533 | fsck's. (For those people who like to do interactive fsck's in the |
| 6534 | /etc/rc scripts!?!) |
| 6535 | |
| 6536 | Debugfs has a few new features: the rdump command, which will do a |
| 6537 | recursive dump of a directory and all of its contents, and the lcd |
| 6538 | command which does a local chdir (much like the ftp command of the |
| 6539 | same name). In addition, the debugfs program and the open_filesystem |
| 6540 | command now takes three new options: -b and -s, which allows the |
| 6541 | blocksize and superblock location to be specified, and the -c option |
| 6542 | which is used in catastrophic situations where the block group |
| 6543 | descriptors are corrupt. If the -c option is specified, debugfs will |
| 6544 | skip trying to read in the block and inode bitmaps. |
| 6545 | |
| 6546 | Debufs's lsdel command was fixed to handle bad blocks in the inode |
| 6547 | table. |
| 6548 | |
| 6549 | A Y2K bug in debugfs's "ls -l" handling was fixed by switching to use |
| 6550 | 4 digit years. |
| 6551 | |
| 6552 | General improvements in error messages |
| 6553 | |
| 6554 | - Mke2fs prints a sane error message if the partition size is zero |
| 6555 | (usually because the partition table wasn't reread by the |
| 6556 | kernel due to the partition being busy), instead of "invalid |
| 6557 | argument passed to ext2 library while initializing superblock". |
| 6558 | |
| 6559 | - Fsck now prints more self-explanatory message if an invalid UUID= |
| 6560 | or LABEL= specification is passed to it. |
| 6561 | |
| 6562 | UUID library changed to use the LGPL. |
| 6563 | |
| 6564 | Fixed a bug in the UUID library where very rapid calls to the |
| 6565 | time-based UUID generator could cause duplicate UUID's to be returned. |
| 6566 | This was not a problem for e2fsprogs, but it could be a problem for |
| 6567 | other users of the library. |
| 6568 | |
| 6569 | Make the UUID library more robust in the face of missing or an |
| 6570 | improper /dev/urandom or /dev/random files. |
| 6571 | |
| 6572 | Added some random portability fixes for Solaris. |
| 6573 | |
| 6574 | Some minor man page updates. |
| 6575 | |
| 6576 | Fixed a memory leak in the ss library. |
| 6577 | |
| 6578 | |
| 6579 | Programmer's notes: |
| 6580 | ------------------- |
| 6581 | |
| 6582 | We now try to use lseek64 and open64 from the LFS if possible. |
| 6583 | |
| 6584 | The 3rd parameter in e2p's print_flags is now a flags word, instead of |
| 6585 | a boolean option. |
| 6586 | |
| 6587 | The mark and unmark bitmap functions now return the previous state of |
| 6588 | the bit that was being changed, which is useful for some speed |
| 6589 | optimizations. |
| 6590 | |
| 6591 | The following functions have been added to enhance the badblocks list |
| 6592 | handling in libext2fs: ext2fs_write_bb_FILE, ext2fs_read_bb_FILE2, and |
| 6593 | ext2fs_badblocks_equal. |
| 6594 | |
| 6595 | The ext2 header files now have the latest journalling fields to the |
| 6596 | superblock. |
| 6597 | |
| 6598 | The ext2fs_mkdir function in libext2fs now properly backs out of error |
| 6599 | conditions robustly. |
| 6600 | |
| 6601 | Cleaned up makefiles: |
| 6602 | - to cleanly compile with the -j flag. |
| 6603 | - so distclean removes all generated files. |
| 6604 | - so in case of an error while installing header files, the make aborts. |
| 6605 | |
| 6606 | Fix test_script so that it works correctly when compiling in the |
| 6607 | source directory. |
| 6608 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 31d1d0c | 2001-05-11 05:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6609 | The random UUID generation routine has been made slightly better in |
| 6610 | the case where /dev/random doesn't exist. (Use of randomly-based UUID |
| 6611 | is still not recommended if /dev/random doesn't exist, however; it's |
| 6612 | 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] | 6613 | |
| 6614 | Clean up the build process so it's more friendly in case of missing |
| 6615 | directories. |
| 6616 | |
| 6617 | The ext2fs header file can now be #include'd into C++ programs. |
| 6618 | |
| 6619 | The e2p.h header file is now installed. |
| 6620 | |
| 6621 | Added workaround to a gawk 3.0.5 bug in lib/ss/mk_cmds. |
| 6622 | |

Theodore Ts'o | 24ded09 | 1999-11-10 15:56:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6625 | E2fsprogs 1.18 (November 10, 1999) |
| 6626 | ================================== |
| 6627 | |
| 6628 | Fix a core dumping bug in e2fsck if an imagic inode is present or |
| 6629 | (more rarely) if the filesystem is badly corrupted enough that e2fsck |
| 6630 | has to restart pass 1 processing. E2fsck now closes the filesystem |
| 6631 | before freeing a large number of its data structures, so in the case |
| 6632 | of future memory faults, at least the fixed filesystem will be fully |
| 6633 | written out. |
| 6634 | |
| 6635 | If a filesystem doesn't support imagic inodes, and e2fsck discovers an |
| 6636 | imagic inode, it will offer to clear the imagic flag. |
| 6637 | |
| 6638 | E2fsck will now offer to clear the immutable flag on special files |
| 6639 | (device/socket/fifos) when running it in non-preen mode. |
| 6640 | |
| 6641 | E2fsck will now set the filetype when creating /lost+found, and when |
| 6642 | connected orphaned inodes to /lost+found. |
| 6643 | |
| 6644 | Debugfs's ncheck and icheck commands now handles the case where there |
| 6645 | are bad blocks in the inode table without bombing out. |
| 6646 | |
| 6647 | The badblocks list processing code has been made more efficiently for |
| 6648 | appending a large number of (ordered) badblocks to the badblocks list. |
| 6649 | |
| 6650 | Some minor man page updates. |
| 6651 | |
| 6652 | Fsck now allows interactive e2fsck's when using fsck -As (not a common |
| 6653 | mode, but some people like to do this in boot scripts for silly reasons). |
| 6654 | |
| 6655 | Programmer's notes: |
| 6656 | ------------------- |
| 6657 | |
| 6658 | The internal e2fsck problem code for PR_2_SPLIT_DOT was fixed to meet |
| 6659 | with the problem code convention. |
| 6660 | |
| 6661 | The badblocks list regression test program has been updated to work |
| 6662 | with previously made API name changes. |
| 6663 | |
| 6664 | The ext2fs_free() command now uses the new badblocks API to avoid |
| 6665 | using the compatibility layer. |
| 6666 | |
| 6667 | Added new regression test cases; the run_e2fsck test script now |
| 6668 | supports the ability for a test case to run a prepratory command |
| 6669 | before running e2fsck. |
| 6670 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 28e1194 | 1999-10-26 18:17:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6671 | E2fsprogs 1.17 (October 26, 1999) |
| 6672 | ================================= |
| 6673 | |
| 6674 | Fixed nasty typo in fsck which caused parallelized fsck's to go into an |
| 6675 | infinite loop. |
| 6676 | |
| 6677 | Fixed a bug in fsck where it used strncmp to compare a binary UUID, |
| 6678 | thus potentially causing problems if a binary UUID contained a NULL |
| 6679 | character. |
| 6680 | |
| 6681 | E2fsck now uses stricter checks for directory entries in pass 2: |
| 6682 | zero-length filenames are not allowed; neither are 8 byte long |
| 6683 | directory entries. |
| 6684 | |
| 6685 | The debugfs "dirty" command now clears the filesystem valid bit. |
| 6686 | (Previously this just set the dirty-as-in-needs-writing-out-to-disk |
| 6687 | bit in the in-core superblock image. The new functionality is more |
| 6688 | what the user expects, and is more useful.) |
| 6689 | |
| 6690 | Added a debugging hook to test parallel fsck; if the environment |
| 6691 | variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL, then filesystems on the same drive |
| 6692 | will be checked in parallel when they normally would not be. |
| 6693 | |
| 6694 | Programmer's notes: |
| 6695 | ------------------- |
| 6696 | |
| 6697 | Fixed some #ifdef's for compilation under the Hurd OS. |
| 6698 | |
| 6699 | Fixed minor W2K compatibility problems. |
| 6700 | |
| 6701 | Fixed some miscellaneous GCC warnings. |
| 6702 | |
| 6703 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 8a31ffe | 1999-10-23 03:33:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6704 | E2fsprogs 1.16 (October 22, 1999) |
| 6705 | ================================= |
| 6706 | |
| 6707 | Fixed a race condition bug in fsck; when printing a progress bar, if |
| 6708 | checking multiple filesystems in parallel, it was possible for fsck to |
| 6709 | send e2fsck a SIGUSR1 signal before e2fsck had installed its signal |
| 6710 | handler, which would cause it to terminate with a signal 10. |
| 6711 | |
| 6712 | E2fsck now properly handles filesystems that have the |
| 6713 | INCOMPAT_FILETYPE feature turned on. It can be used to convert a |
| 6714 | filesystem into using or not using FILETYPE feature. |
| 6715 | |
| 6716 | E2fsck now properly handles filesystems that have the IMAGIC feature |
| 6717 | turned on (this is used on Linux AFS servers). |
| 6718 | |
| 6719 | The mke2fs program now creates filesystems that have the filetype and |
| 6720 | sparse_superblock features enabled by default, unless it is run on a |
| 6721 | pre-2.2 kernel. These features are not supported by a pre-2.2 kernel, |
| 6722 | so there is now a new flag -O which allows the user to specify with |
| 6723 | which features she would like to create the filesystem; "mke2fs -O |
| 6724 | none" will create a filesystsem compatible with 2.0 kernels. |
| 6725 | |
| 6726 | The tune2fs program now has a -O option which allows the user to set |
| 6727 | and reset "safe" filesystem features. Currently, the only ones which |
| 6728 | allows to be modified are the filetype and sparse_superblock features. |
| 6729 | Note setting or clearing either feature will require running e2fsck on |
| 6730 | the filesystem afterwards. (n.b. Clearing the sparse_superblock feature |
| 6731 | requires that there is enough free space on the filesystem for the |
| 6732 | extra superblocks which will be created by e2fsck.) |
| 6733 | |
| 6734 | Debugfs can now set and print filesystem features in the superblock |
| 6735 | using the "features" command. Dumpe2fs will print out the complete |
| 6736 | set of features when listing the superblock. |
| 6737 | |
| 6738 | Dumpe2fs has new options -f (force) and -h (header-only). |
| 6739 | |
| 6740 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could cause the PROGRAMMING ERROR/bonehead |
| 6741 | message to come up. This could happen when decrementing or |
| 6742 | incrementing a link count could result in an overflow. |
| 6743 | |
| 6744 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck where the block count on the lost+found |
| 6745 | directory would not be properly incremented when the directory was |
| 6746 | expanded to the point where an indirect block needed to be allocated. |
| 6747 | |
| 6748 | E2fsck now makes some additional sanity checks on the superblock to |
| 6749 | avoid crashing or giving a memory allocation error if some of the |
| 6750 | values in the superblock are unresonable (but the superblock otherwise |
| 6751 | looks valid). |
| 6752 | |
| 6753 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck where a very badly corrupted filesystem might |
| 6754 | require two passes to completely fix the filesystem. This happened if |
| 6755 | an inode claimed blocks that was part of the filesystem metadata |
| 6756 | (typically, when garbage was written into an inode table or indirect |
| 6757 | block, since this kind of filesystem corruption normally doesn't |
| 6758 | happen otherwise). |
| 6759 | |
| 6760 | On the Alpha, glibc declares st_flags although it isn't actually used; |
| 6761 | the configure script was improved to detect this case so that |
| 6762 | e2fsprogs can avoid using the non-functional stat field. |
| 6763 | |
| 6764 | The manual pages were updated to use a more consistent formatting |
| 6765 | style consistent with standard Unix man pages. Mke2fs's man page |
| 6766 | added documentation for a few previously undocumented options. |
| 6767 | |
| 6768 | Fixed minor display bugs in tune2fs and mke2fs. |
| 6769 | |
| 6770 | Programmer's notes: |
| 6771 | ------------------- |
| 6772 | |
| 6773 | Improved portability of e2fsprogs to non-Unix systems (in particular, NT). |
| 6774 | |
| 6775 | Added features to parse and print feature strings into the e2p library. |
| 6776 | (e2p_feature2string, e2p_string2feature, e2p_edit_feature). |
| 6777 | |
| 6778 | ext2fs_mkdir() and ext2fs_new_dir_block() now creates directories |
| 6779 | whose directory entries contain proper filetype information if the |
| 6780 | filesystem supports it. |
| 6781 | |
| 6782 | ext2fs_link() now uses the low 3 bits of its flags parameter to pass |
| 6783 | the directory entry filetype information. This is used to set the |
| 6784 | directory entry filetype information if the filesystem supports it. |
| 6785 | |
| 6786 | Fixed a bug in ext2fs_expand_dir() where the block count in a |
| 6787 | directory's inode would not be properly incremented when the directory |
| 6788 | was expanded to the point where an indirect block needed to be |
| 6789 | allocated. |
| 6790 | |

Theodore Ts'o | e2a99be | 1999-07-19 15:48:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6793 | ============================== |
Theodore Ts'o | 6d53db3 | 1999-07-03 20:52:21 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6794 | |
| 6795 | Add configuration checks so that e2fsprogs will compile cleanly on |
| 6796 | Linux 2.3 kernels that have renamed i_version to i_generation. |
| 6797 | |
Theodore Ts'o | e2a99be | 1999-07-19 15:48:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6798 | E2fsck now prints a progress/completion bar (and not just a simple |
| 6799 | spinner) if the -C0 option is requested or if it receives a SIGUSR1 |
| 6800 | signal. Fsck will automatically manage the (potentially muliple) |
| 6801 | e2fsck processes to print completion bars if it is given a -C option, |
| 6802 | with the right thing happening if multiple filesystems are being |
| 6803 | checked in parallel. |
| 6804 | |
| 6805 | Mke2fs now has better automatic hueristics to determine the filesystem |
| 6806 | parameters to be used for a particular filesystem. Added a new option |
| 6807 | -T which allows the user to specify how the filesystem is to be used, |
| 6808 | which helps mke2fs do a better job selecting the filesystem parameters. |
| 6809 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a39f3ef | 1999-07-20 02:02:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6810 | Mke2fs now creates revision 1 filesystems by default, and with the |
| 6811 | sparse superblock feature enabled. The sparse superblock feature is |
Theodore Ts'o | 8a31ffe | 1999-10-23 03:33:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6812 | not understood by Linux 2.0 kernels, so they will only allow read-only |
| 6813 | mounts of filesystems with this sparse superblocks. |
Theodore Ts'o | a39f3ef | 1999-07-20 02:02:40 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6814 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 6d53db3 | 1999-07-03 20:52:21 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6815 | Fix bug where if /dev/null couldn't be opened (should never happen), |
| 6816 | e2fsck would hang in a tight loop. |
| 6817 | |
| 6818 | Make e2fsck handle the case where /lost+found isn't a directory. |
| 6819 | |
| 6820 | E2fsck now uses mallinfo if it exists to get accurate statistics about |
| 6821 | its memory usage. |
| 6822 | |
| 6823 | Fix bug in e2fsck where it wouldn't check to see if a disconnected |
| 6824 | inode had any problems before connecting it to /lost+found. |
| 6825 | |
| 6826 | Add check to e2fsck so it makes sure that total number of inodes in |
| 6827 | the filesystem is a sane number. |
| 6828 | |
| 6829 | Fix fencepost error when clearing an the end of the block bitmap which |
| 6830 | caused the last block in the bitmap not to get cleared. |
| 6831 | |
| 6832 | Cleaned up a number of messages in e2fsck: |
| 6833 | * The message "Group's #'s copy of the group descriptor..." |
| 6834 | was fixed so that the correct number would be displayed. |
| 6835 | * Added missing space in the "disk write-protected" error messsage |
| 6836 | * Cleaned up the error message printed when a non-interactive |
| 6837 | e2fsck needs to abort a check because the filesystem |
| 6838 | appears to be mounted. |
| 6839 | |
| 6840 | Added a new command-line utility, uuidgen, which will create and print |
| 6841 | a UUID. |
| 6842 | |
| 6843 | Make debugfs's icheck command more robust by checking to make sure an |
| 6844 | inode has valid blocks before interarting over the inode's blocks. |
| 6845 | |
| 6846 | UUID generation now uses a random-based scheme whenever possible to |
| 6847 | prevent potential privacy problems. |
| 6848 | |
| 6849 | Man pages for all of the UUID functions in the lirbary were added. |
| 6850 | |
| 6851 | Fixed bug in fsck so it won't coredump if a filesystem not in |
| 6852 | /etc/fstab is given to it. |
| 6853 | |
| 6854 | Fsck now understands the UUID=xxxx and LABEL=yyyy forms in /etc/fstab |
| 6855 | that most of the other mount utilities understands. |
| 6856 | |
| 6857 | Mke2fs will make a filesystem even if it appears mounted if the force |
| 6858 | option is given. |
| 6859 | |
| 6860 | Dumpe2fs has new command-line options which allow a filesystem expert |
| 6861 | to specify the superblock and blocksize when opening a filesystem. |
| 6862 | This is mainly useful when examining the remains of a toasted |
| 6863 | filesystem. |
| 6864 | |
| 6865 | The badblocks program has been updated to display correctly on disks |
| 6866 | with large block numbers. |
| 6867 | |
Theodore Ts'o | e2a99be | 1999-07-19 15:48:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6868 | The badblocks program no longer gives spurious errors when errors |
| 6869 | occur on non-block boundaries, which is common if the blocksize is |
| 6870 | larger than 1k. |
| 6871 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 6d53db3 | 1999-07-03 20:52:21 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6872 | Mke2fs will sync the disk device every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups if the |
| 6873 | MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set. This is to work around a VM |
| 6874 | 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] | 6875 | to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel, but hopefully it will not be |
| 6876 | needed for most Linux 2.2 users. |
Theodore Ts'o | 6d53db3 | 1999-07-03 20:52:21 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6877 | |
| 6878 | Fixed miscellaneous documentation and man pages. |
| 6879 | |
| 6880 | Programmer's notes: |
| 6881 | ------------------- |
| 6882 | |
| 6883 | Cleaned up functions such as pass1_get_blocks, pass1_read_inode which |
| 6884 | in e2fsck's pass1.c really should have been static. |
| 6885 | |
| 6886 | The return value of the uuid_compare() function was changed to make it |
| 6887 | match with the convetions used by strcmp, memcmp, and Paul Leach's |
| 6888 | UUID sample document. |
| 6889 | |
| 6890 | The "make depend" process has now been made more automated; it now |
| 6891 | automatically word-wraps the dependencies, and only replaces source |
| 6892 | Makefile.in if there has been a change in the dependencies. Also, a |
| 6893 | top-level "make depend" now recurses through all the subdirectories |
| 6894 | automatically. |
| 6895 | |
| 6896 | The Makefile in .../util has been changed so that subst is built using |
| 6897 | the native C compiler during a cross-compilation, since the subst |
| 6898 | program is only used during the build process. Also add an explicit |
| 6899 | rule to build util/subst by cd'ing to the correct directory and |
| 6900 | running Makefile. |
| 6901 | |
| 6902 | The man directories are defined in terms mandir, so that the configure |
| 6903 | script can override the location of the manual pages. |
| 6904 | |
| 6905 | The config files have been updated to recognize new machine types for |
| 6906 | both the i386 and alpha families. |
| 6907 | |
| 6908 | Fsck has been modified so that it will accurately create an |
| 6909 | fsck_instance even when the noexecute flag is set. This allows for |
| 6910 | accurate debugging of the fsck pass structure. Also, when the verbose |
| 6911 | flag is given twice, fsck will print debugging information about when |
| 6912 | fsck is waiting for jobs to finish. |

| 6916 | ================================ |
| 6917 | |
| 6918 | Fix the fstab parsing code so that it can handle blank lines and |
| 6919 | comment characters. Also, missing pass numbers need to be treated as |
| 6920 | zero. |
| 6921 | |
| 6922 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck where under some circumstances (when e2fsck |
| 6923 | needs to restart processing after fixing an egregious inconsistency) |
| 6924 | it would try to access already freed memory. |
| 6925 | |
| 6926 | E2fsck now prints non-printable characters in directory entries and |
| 6927 | pathnames using '^' and 'M-' notation. |
| 6928 | |
| 6929 | Fixed chattr so that it will ignore symbolic links when doing |
| 6930 | recursive descent traversals. For both chattr and lsattr, no longer |
| 6931 | print the version string unless the -V option is given. |
| 6932 | |
| 6933 | Allow the system administrator to directly specify the number of |
| 6934 | inodes desired in the filesystem, for some special cases where this is |
| 6935 | necessary. |
| 6936 | |
| 6937 | Fix portability problems so that e2fsprogs can be compiled under Linux |
| 6938 | 1.2 systems and Solaris systems. |
| 6939 | |
| 6940 | Update the config.guess file with a more recent version that will |
| 6941 | identify newer Linux platforms. |
| 6942 | |
| 6943 | Programmer's notes |
| 6944 | ------------------ |
| 6945 | |
| 6946 | Ext2fs_read_inode and ext2fs_write_inode will now return an error if |
| 6947 | an inode number of zero is passed to them. |
| 6948 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 556ad13 | 1998-12-19 08:10:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 6949 | E2fsprogs 1.13 (December 15, 1998) |
| 6950 | ================================== |
| 6951 | |
| 6952 | Fixed a bug in debugfs where an error messages weren't getting printed |
| 6953 | when the ext2 library routines to read inodes returned errors in the |
| 6954 | stat, cmri and rm commands. |
| 6955 | |
| 6956 | Fixed a bug in mke2fs so that if a ridiculous inode ratio parameter is |
| 6957 | provided, it won't create an inode table smaller than the minimum |
| 6958 | number of inodes required for a proper ext2 filesystem. |
| 6959 | |
| 6960 | Fsck now parses the /etc/fstab file directly (instead of using |
| 6961 | getmntent()), so that it can distinguish between a missing pass number |
| 6962 | field and pass number field of zero. This caused problems for |
| 6963 | diskless workstations where all of the filesystems in /etc/fstab have |
| 6964 | an explicit pass number of zero, and fsck could not distinguish this |
| 6965 | from a /etc/fstab file with missing pass numbers. |
| 6966 | |
| 6967 | E2fsck will create a /lost+found directory if there isn't one in the |
| 6968 | filesystem, since it's safer to create the lost+found directory before |
| 6969 | it's needed. |
| 6970 | |
| 6971 | Fixed e2fsck so that it would detect bogus immutable inodes which |
| 6972 | happen to be sockets and FIFO files, and offer to clear them. |
| 6973 | |
| 6974 | If a filesystem has multiple reasons why it needs to be checked, and |
| 6975 | one of the reasons is that it is uncleanly mounted, e2fsck will print |
| 6976 | that as the reason why the filesystem is being checked. |
| 6977 | |
| 6978 | Cleaned up the output routines of mke2fs so that it doesn't overflow |
| 6979 | an 80 column display when formating really big filesystems. |
| 6980 | |
| 6981 | Added a sanity check to e2fsck to make sure that file descriptors 0, |
| 6982 | 1, 2 are open before opening the hard disk. This avoids a problem |
| 6983 | where a broken program might exec e2fsck with those file descriptors |
| 6984 | closed, which would cause disastrous results if the kernel returns a |
| 6985 | file descriptor for the block device which is also used by FILE * |
| 6986 | stdout. |
| 6987 | |
| 6988 | Fixed up the e2fsck progress reporting functions so that the values |
| 6989 | reliably reach 100% at the completion of all of the e2fsck passes. |
| 6990 | |
| 6991 | Fixed minor documentation bugs in man pages and usage messages. |
| 6992 | |
| 6993 | Programmer's notes: |
| 6994 | ------------------- |
| 6995 | |
| 6996 | Fixed a number of lint warnings in the ext2fs library and potential |
| 6997 | portability problems from other OS's header files that might define |
| 6998 | CPP macros for names like "max" and "min". |
| 6999 | |
| 7000 | ext2fs_badblocks_list_add() has been made more efficient when it needs |
| 7001 | to grow the bad blocks list. |
| 7002 | |
| 7003 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused it to dereference a freed pointer |
| 7004 | just before exiting. |
| 7005 | |
| 7006 | Fixed the substition process for generating the mk_cmds and compile_et |
| 7007 | scripts so that they will work outside of the build tree. |
| 7008 | |
| 7009 | Add sanity check to e2fsck so that if an internal routine |
| 7010 | (ext2fs_get_dir_info) returns NULL, avoid dereferencing the pointer |
| 7011 | and causing a core dump. This should never happen, but... |
| 7012 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a569671 | 1998-07-09 05:38:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7013 | E2fsprogs 1.12 (July 9, 1998) |
Theodore Ts'o | 21d5385 | 1998-02-21 03:14:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7014 | ================================== |
| 7015 | |
| 7016 | E2fsprogs now works with glibc (at least with the version shipped wtih |
| 7017 | RedHat 5.0). The ext2fs_llseek() function should now work even with |
| 7018 | i386 ELF shared libraries and if llseek() is not present. We also |
| 7019 | explicitly do a configure test to see if (a) llseek is in libc, and |
| 7020 | (b) if llseek is declared in the system header files. (See standard |
| 7021 | complaints about libc developers don't understand the concept of |
| 7022 | compatibility with previous versions of libc.) |
| 7023 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c9833a6 | 1998-07-05 19:37:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7024 | The ext2fs library now writes out the block group number in each of |
| 7025 | the superblock copies. This makes it easier to automatically |
| 7026 | determine the starting block group of the filesystem when the block |
| 7027 | group information is trashed. |
| 7028 | |
| 7029 | Added support for the EXT2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_FILETYPE feature, |
Theodore Ts'o | 101c84f | 1998-03-24 16:27:11 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7030 | which means that e2fsprogs will ignore the high 8 bits of the |
| 7031 | directory entry's name_len field, so that it can be used for other |
| 7032 | purposes. |
| 7033 | |
| 7034 | Added support for the EXT2_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_LARGE_FILE feature. |
| 7035 | E2fsprogs will now support filesystems with 64-bit sized files. |
| 7036 | |
| 7037 | Added support for the EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_DIR_PREALLOC feature. |
| 7038 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 21d5385 | 1998-02-21 03:14:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7039 | Added new program "e2label", contributed by Andries Brouwer. E2label |
| 7040 | provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem label. |
| 7041 | |
Theodore Ts'o | a4b2d3c | 1998-04-03 16:12:25 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7042 | Fixed bug so that lsattr -v works instead of producing a core dump. |
| 7043 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 21d5385 | 1998-02-21 03:14:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7044 | Fixed a minor bug in mke2fs so that all groups with bad superblock |
| 7045 | backup blocks are printed (not just the first one). |
Theodore Ts'o | a4b2d3c | 1998-04-03 16:12:25 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7046 | |
| 7047 | Mke2fs will check the size of the device, and if the user specifies a |
| 7048 | filesystem size larger than the apparent size of the device it will |
| 7049 | print a warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed. |
| 7050 | |
Theodore Ts'o | c9833a6 | 1998-07-05 19:37:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7051 | E2fsck has a new option -C, which sends completion information to the |
| 7052 | specified file descriptor. For the most part, this is intended for |
| 7053 | programs to use, although -C 0 will print a spinning character to the |
| 7054 | stdout device, which may be useful for users who want to see something |
| 7055 | happening while e2fsck goes about its business. |
| 7056 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 21d5385 | 1998-02-21 03:14:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7057 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could cause a core dump when it needs to |
| 7058 | expand the /lost+found directory, and sometimes the bitmaps haven't |
| 7059 | been merged in. Also fixed a related bug where ext2fs_write_dir_block |
| 7060 | was used to write out a non-directory block. (Which would be bad on a |
| 7061 | non-Intel platform with byte swapping going on.) |
| 7062 | |
| 7063 | Fixed bug in e2fsck where it would print a "programming error" message |
| 7064 | instead of correctly identifying where a bad block was in used when |
| 7065 | the bad block was in a non-primary superblock or block group |
| 7066 | descriptor. Also fixed a related bug when sparse superblocks are in |
| 7067 | use and there is a bad block where a superblock or block group |
| 7068 | descriptor would have been in a group that doesn't include a |
| 7069 | superblock. |
| 7070 | |
| 7071 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck (really in libext2fs's dblist function) where if |
| 7072 | the block group descriptor table is corrupt, it was possible to try to |
| 7073 | allocate a huge array, fail, and then abort e2fsck. |
| 7074 | ext2fs_get_num_dirs() now sanity checks the block group descriptor, |
| 7075 | and subsitutes reasonable values if the descriptors are obviously bogus. |
| 7076 | |
| 7077 | If e2fsck finds a device file which has the immutable flag set and the |
| 7078 | i_blocks beyond the normal device number are non-zero, e2fsck will |
| 7079 | offer to remove it, since it's probably caused by garbage in the inode |
| 7080 | table. |
| 7081 | |
| 7082 | When opening a filesystem, e2fsck specially checks for the EROFS error |
| 7083 | code, and prints a specific error message to the user which is more |
| 7084 | user friendly. |
| 7085 | |
| 7086 | If the filesystem revision is too high, change the e2fsck to print |
| 7087 | that this is either because e2fsck is out of date, or because the |
| 7088 | superblock is corrupt. |
| 7089 | |
| 7090 | E2fsck now checks for directories that have duplicate '.' and '..' |
| 7091 | entries, and fixes this corruption. |
| 7092 | |
| 7093 | E2fsck no longer forces a sync of the filesystem (with attendant sleep |
| 7094 | calls) at all times. The ext2fs_flush() function now performs a sync |
| 7095 | only if it needed to write data blocks to disk. |
| 7096 | |
| 7097 | Fixed a minor bug in e2fsck's pass1b's file cloning function, where |
| 7098 | certain errors would not be properly reported. |
| 7099 | |
| 7100 | Updated and expanded a few points in the man pages which users |
| 7101 | complained wheren't explicit enough. |
| 7102 | |
| 7103 | Added special case byte-swapping code if compiling on the PowerPC, to |
| 7104 | accomodate the strange big-endian variant of the ext2 filesystem that |
| 7105 | was previously used on the PowerPC port. |
| 7106 | |
| 7107 | |
| 7108 | Programmer's notes: |
| 7109 | ------------------- |
| 7110 | |
| 7111 | Removed C++ keywords from the ext2fs libraries so that it could be |
| 7112 | compiled with C++. |
| 7113 | |
| 7114 | E2fsck's internal organization has now been massively reorganized so |
| 7115 | that pass*.c don't have any printf statements. Instead, all problems |
| 7116 | are reported through the fix_problem() abstraction interface. E2fsck |
| 7117 | has also been revamped so that it can be called as a library from a |
| 7118 | application. |
| 7119 | |
| 7120 | Added new fileio primitives in libext2fs for reading and writing |
| 7121 | files on an unmounted ext2 filesystem. This interface is now used by |
| 7122 | debugfs. |
| 7123 | |
| 7124 | Added a new libext2fs function for mapping logical block numbers of |
| 7125 | a file to a physical block number. |
| 7126 | |
| 7127 | Added a new libext2fs function, ext2fs_alloc_block(), which allocates |
| 7128 | a block, zeros it, and updates the filesystem accounting records |
| 7129 | appropriately. |
| 7130 | |
| 7131 | Added a new libext2fs function, ext2fs_set_bitmap_padding(), which |
| 7132 | sets the padding of the bitmap to be all one's. Used by e2fsck pass 5. |
| 7133 | |
| 7134 | The libext2fs functions now use a set of memory allocation wrapper |
| 7135 | functions: ext2fs_get_mem, ext2fs_free_mem, and ext2fs_resize_mem, |
| 7136 | instead of malloc, free, and resize. This makes it easier for us to |
| 7137 | be ported to strange environments where malloc, et. al. aren't |
| 7138 | necessarily available. |
| 7139 | |
| 7140 | Change the libext2fs fucntion to return ext2-specific error codes |
| 7141 | (EXT2_DIR_EXISTS and EXT2_DB_NOT_FOUND, for example) instead of using |
| 7142 | and depending on the existence of system error codes (such as EEXIST |
| 7143 | and ENOENT). |
| 7144 | |
| 7145 | Renamed io.h to ext2_io.h to avoid collision with other OS's header |
| 7146 | files. |
| 7147 | |
| 7148 | Add protection against ext2_io.h and ext2fs.h being included multiple |
| 7149 | times. |
| 7150 | |
| 7151 | The types used for memory lengths, etc. have been made more portable. |
| 7152 | In generla, the code has been made 16-bit safe. Added Mark |
| 7153 | Habersack's contributed DOS disk i/o routines. |
| 7154 | |
| 7155 | Miscellaneous portability fixes, including not depending on char's |
| 7156 | being signed. |
| 7157 | |
| 7158 | The io_channel structure has a new element, app_data, which is |
| 7159 | initialized by the ext2fs routines to contain a copy of the filesystem |
| 7160 | handle. |
| 7161 | |
| 7162 | ext2fs_check_directory()'s callback function may now return the error |
| 7163 | EXT2_ET_CALLBACK_NOTHANDLED if it wishes ext2fs_check_directory() to |
| 7164 | really do the checking, despite the presence of the callback function. |
| 7165 | |

Theodore Ts'o | bc21007 | 1997-06-17 05:41:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7167 | E2fsprosg 1.11 (June 17, 1997) |
| 7168 | ============================== |
| 7169 | |
| 7170 | Fixed e2fsck to detect (previously ignored) conflicts between the |
| 7171 | superblock or block group descriptors and block bitmaps, inode |
| 7172 | bitmaps, and inode tables. |
| 7173 | |
| 7174 | Fixed bug in e2fsck so that when the message printed out when a block |
| 7175 | or inode bitmap conflicts with other data, it has the correct group |
| 7176 | number. |
| 7177 | |
| 7178 | Fixed bug in e2fsck and mke2fs where the blocksize wasn't being passed |
| 7179 | to badblocks. This meant that not all of the filesystem was being |
| 7180 | tested for bad blocks! |
| 7181 | |
| 7182 | Fixed an array boundary overrun case which cropped up in |
| 7183 | ext2fs_badblocks_list_test when a user tried running "mke2fs -c |
| 7184 | -b 4096". |
| 7185 | |
| 7186 | Adjusted the number of columns printed by mke2fs when displaying the |
| 7187 | superblock backups to avoid running over 80 columns when making a |
Theodore Ts'o | 21d5385 | 1998-02-21 03:14:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7188 | really big filesystem. |
Theodore Ts'o | bc21007 | 1997-06-17 05:41:36 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7189 | |
| 7190 | Fixed up the man pages for e2fsck, debugfs, badblocks, chattr, |
| 7191 | dumpe2fs, fsck, mke2fs, and tune2fs (typos and other minor grammar |
| 7192 | fixes), thanks to some suggestions from Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net). |
| 7193 | |
| 7194 | Programmer's notes: |
| 7195 | ------------------- |
| 7196 | |
| 7197 | Fixed install rule in lib/ss so that ss_err.h is actually getting |
| 7198 | installed. |
| 7199 | |
| 7200 | Fixed bug in ext2fs_copy_bitmap; the destination bitmap wasn't getting |
| 7201 | bassed back to the caller. |
| 7202 | |
| 7203 | Fixed bug in ext2fs_inode_scan_goto_blockgroup; it had not been |
| 7204 | setting the current inode number (which meant this function wasn't |
| 7205 | working at all). |
| 7206 | |
| 7207 | Fixed bug in ext2fs_resize_generic_bitmap; it had not be zeroing all |
| 7208 | blocks in the bitmap when increasing the size of the bitmap. |
| 7209 | |
| 7210 | Changed the initial number of blocks allocated by ext2fs_init_dblist() |
| 7211 | to be more realistic. |
| 7212 | |
| 7213 | Added a new function ext2fs_allocate_group_table, which sets up the |
| 7214 | group descriptor information (and allocates inode and block bitmaps, |
| 7215 | and inode tables for a particular group). The function was created by |
| 7216 | factoring out code form ext2fs_allocate_tables(). |
| 7217 | |
| 7218 | Added a new function ext2fs_move_blocks which takes a bitmap of the |
| 7219 | blocks to be moved, and moves them to another location on the |
| 7220 | boardboard. |
| 7221 | |
| 7222 | Make the unix_io channel's io_channel_flush implementation calls sync() |
| 7223 | to to flush the kernel buffers to disk. |
| 7224 | |
| 7225 | Added a new function ext2fs_dblist_count returns the number of |
| 7226 | directory blocks in dblist. |
| 7227 | |
| 7228 | |
Theodore Ts'o | ae85148 | 1997-04-29 18:13:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7229 | E2fsprogs 1.10 (April 24, 1997) |
| 7230 | =============================== |
| 7231 | |
| 7232 | Mke2fs once again defaults to creating revision #0 filesystems, since |
| 7233 | people were complaining about breaking compatibility with 1.2 kernels. |
| 7234 | Warning messages were added to the mke2fs and tune2fs man pages that |
| 7235 | the sparse superblock option isn't supported by most kernels yet (1.2 |
| 7236 | and 2.0 both don't support parse superblocks.) |
| 7237 | |
| 7238 | Added new flag to mke2fs, -R <raid options>, which allows the user to |
| 7239 | tell mke2fs about the RAID configuration of the filesystem. Currently |
| 7240 | the only supported raid option is "stride" which specifies the width |
| 7241 | of the RAID stripe. |
| 7242 | |
| 7243 | Fixed bug in e2fsck where pass1b would bomb out if there were any |
| 7244 | blocks marked bad in the inode table. |
| 7245 | |
| 7246 | Fixed rare bug in mke2fs where if the user had a very unlucky number |
| 7247 | of blocks in a filesystem (probability less than .002) the resulting |
| 7248 | filesystem would be corrupt in the last block group. |
| 7249 | |
| 7250 | Fixed bug where if e2fsck tried to allocate a block to fix a |
| 7251 | filesystem corruption problem and the filesystem had no free blocks, |
| 7252 | ext2fs_new_block() would loop forever. |
| 7253 | |
| 7254 | The configure script now checks explicitly to see if "-static" works, |
| 7255 | since that can't be assumed to be true --- RedHat doesn't install |
| 7256 | libc-static by default. |
| 7257 | |
| 7258 | Fixed bug in libext2's block iterator functions where under some |
| 7259 | cirmcustances, file with holes would cause the bcount parameter to the |
| 7260 | callback function to be incorrect. This bug didn't affect any of |
| 7261 | e2fsprogs programs, but it was discovered by Paul Mackerras, the |
| 7262 | author of the PPC boot loader. |
| 7263 | |
| 7264 | Removed use of static variables to store the inode cache in libext2fs. |
| 7265 | This caused problems if more than one filesystem was accessed via |
| 7266 | libext2fs (static variables in libraries are generally a bad idea). |
| 7267 | Again, this didn't affect e2fsprogs programs, but it was discovered by |
| 7268 | Paul Mackerras. |
| 7269 | |
| 7270 | Fixed minor bugs and version code drift to assure that e2fsprogs 1.10 |
| 7271 | will compile cleanly with 1.2.13 kernels (even with a.out shared |
| 7272 | libraries!) |
| 7273 | |
| 7274 | Programmer's notes: |
| 7275 | ------------------- |
| 7276 | |
| 7277 | Added new functions to duplicate an ext2 filesystem handle, and its |
| 7278 | associated substructure. New functions: ext2fs_dup_handle(), |
| 7279 | ext2fs_copy_dblist(), ext2fs_badblocks_copy(), ext2fs_copy_bitmap(). |
| 7280 | Other structures, such as the io_channel and the inode_cache, now have |
| 7281 | a ref count so that they only get freed when they are no longer used |
| 7282 | by any filesystem handle. (These functions were added as part of the |
| 7283 | development effort for an ext2 resizer). |
| 7284 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 2ecc6fe | 1997-04-29 17:57:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7285 | E2fsprogs 1.09 (April 14, 1997) |
| 7286 | =============================== |
| 7287 | |
| 7288 | Fixed bug in mke2fs (really in lib/ext2fs/initialize.c) which was |
| 7289 | accidentally introduced in the 1.08 release. The overhead calculation |
| 7290 | was accidentally removed, which caused ext2fs_initialize() to not |
| 7291 | notice when the filesystem size needed to be adjusted down because |
| 7292 | there wasn't enough space in the last block group. |
| 7293 | |
| 7294 | Fixed bug in version parsing library routine; it was always parsing |
| 7295 | the library version string, instead of using the passed-in string. |
| 7296 | |
| 7297 | Clarified chattr man page. |

Theodore Ts'o | 24757fa | 1997-04-29 17:39:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7299 | E2fsprogs 1.08 (April 10, 1997) |
| 7300 | =============================== |
| 7301 | |
| 7302 | E2fsck 1.07 was very slow when checking very large filesystems with a |
| 7303 | lot of files that had hard links (i.e., news spools). This was fixed |
| 7304 | by seriously revamping the icount abstraction. Added a formal test |
| 7305 | suite for the icount abstraction. |
| 7306 | |
| 7307 | Debugfs now has a "-l" option to the "ls" command, which lists the |
| 7308 | inode number, permissions, owner, group, size, and name of the files |
| 7309 | in the directory. |
| 7310 | |
| 7311 | Fix a bug in e2fsck where when a directory had its blocks moved to |
| 7312 | another location during the pass 1b processing, the directory block |
| 7313 | list wasn't updated, so pass 2 wouldn't check (and correct) the |
| 7314 | correct directory block. |
| 7315 | |
| 7316 | E2fsck will now treat inodes which contain blocks which are claimed by |
| 7317 | the filesystem metadata by treating them as multiply claimed blocks. |
| 7318 | This way, the data in those blocks can be copied to a new block during |
| 7319 | the pass 1b--1d processing. |
| 7320 | |
| 7321 | E2fsck will attempt to determine the correct superblock number and |
| 7322 | display it in the diagnostic and warning messages if possible. |
| 7323 | |
| 7324 | Add support for a new (incompatible) feature, "sparse_super". This |
| 7325 | feature reduces the number of blocks which contain copies of backup |
| 7326 | superblocks and block group descriptors. (It is only an incompatible |
| 7327 | feature because of a bug in ext2_free_blocks.) mke2fs and tune2fs now |
| 7328 | support a new -s option; e2fsck will recognize filesystems built with |
| 7329 | this feature turned on. |
| 7330 | |
| 7331 | E2fsck now checks the library to make sure is the correct version, |
| 7332 | using new library functions. (This helps to diagnose incorrectly |
| 7333 | installed e2fsprogs distributions.) |
| 7334 | |
| 7335 | Dumpe2fs now prints more information; its now prints the the |
| 7336 | filesystem revision number, the filesystem sparse_super feature (if |
| 7337 | present), the block ranges for each block group, and the offset from |
| 7338 | the beginning of the block group. |
| 7339 | |
| 7340 | Mke2fs now distributes the inode and block bitmap blok so that the |
| 7341 | won't be concentrated in one or two disks in RAID/striping setups. |
| 7342 | Also, if the user chooses a 2k or 4k block group, mke2fs will try to |
| 7343 | choose the largest blocks per group that be chosen. (For 2k blocks, |
| 7344 | you can have up to 16384 blocks/group; for 4k blocks, you can have up |
| 7345 | to 32768 blocks/group.) Previously mke2fs would not allow |
| 7346 | specification of more than 8192 blocks per group, even if you were |
| 7347 | using a 2k or 4k block group. |
| 7348 | |
| 7349 | Programmer's notes: |
| 7350 | ------------------- |
| 7351 | |
| 7352 | Added a new function ext2fs_create_icount2() which takes a "hint" |
| 7353 | argument. This hint argument presets the icount array with the list |
| 7354 | of inodes which actually need to be in the icount array. This really |
| 7355 | helps to speed up e2fsck. |
| 7356 | |
| 7357 | Added a new function ext2fs_icount_validate() which checks the rep |
| 7358 | invariant for the icount structure. This is used mostly for testing. |
| 7359 | |
| 7360 | The error mesasage given when a bad inode number is passed to |
| 7361 | test_generic_bitmap to reflect EXT2FS_TEST_ERROR (instead of |
| 7362 | EXT2FS_UNMARK_ERROR). |
| 7363 | |
| 7364 | Added a new function ext2fs_set_dir_block which sets the block of a |
| 7365 | dblist entry, given the directory inode and blockcnt. |
| 7366 | |
| 7367 | Added a new function ext2fs_get_library_version() which returns the |
| 7368 | current library version, and ext2fs_parse_version_string() which |
| 7369 | returns a version number based on a e2fsprogs version string. |
| 7370 | |
| 7371 | The icount functions will return EINVAL if the passed in inode number |
| 7372 | is out of bounds. |
| 7373 | |
Theodore Ts'o | 21c84b7 | 1997-04-29 16:15:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7374 | E2fsprogs 1.07 (March 9, 1997) |
| 7375 | ============================== |
| 7376 | |
| 7377 | E2fsck is now uses much less memory when checking really large |
| 7378 | filesystems (or rather, filesystems with a large number of inodes). |
| 7379 | Previously a filesystem with 1 million inodes required 4 megabytes of |
| 7380 | memory to store inode count statistics; that storage requirement has |
| 7381 | now been reduced to roughly half a megabyte. |
| 7382 | |
| 7383 | E2fsck can now properly deal with bad blocks appearing inside the |
| 7384 | inode table. Instead of trying to relocate the inode table (which |
| 7385 | often failed because there wasn't enough space), the inodes in the bad |
| 7386 | block are marked as in use. |
| 7387 | |
| 7388 | E2fsck will automatically try to use the backup superblocks if the |
| 7389 | primary superblocks have a bad magic number or have missing meta-data |
| 7390 | blocks (or meta-data blocks which are out of range). |
| 7391 | |
| 7392 | E2fsck's pass 3 has been made more efficient; most noticeable on |
| 7393 | filesystems with a very large number of directories. |
| 7394 | |
| 7395 | Completely revamped e2fsck's system of printing problem reports. It |
| 7396 | is now table driven, to make them more easily customizeable and |
| 7397 | extendable. Error messages which can be printed out during preen mode |
| 7398 | are now one line long. |
| 7399 | |
| 7400 | Fixed e2fsck's filesystem swapping code so that it won't try to swap |
| 7401 | fast symbolic links or deleted files. |
| 7402 | |
| 7403 | Fixed e2fsck core dumping when fixing a filesystem which has no |
| 7404 | directories (not even a root directory). |
| 7405 | |
| 7406 | Added a check to e2fsck to make sure that the length of every |
| 7407 | directory entry is a multiple of 4 (since the kernel complains if it |
| 7408 | isn't). |
| 7409 | |
| 7410 | Added a check to e2fsck to make sure that a directory entry isn't a |
| 7411 | link to the root directory, since that isn't allowed. |
| 7412 | |
| 7413 | Added a check to e2fsk to now make sure the '.' and '..' directory |
| 7414 | entries are null terminated, since the 2.0 kernel requires it. |
| 7415 | |
| 7416 | Added check to write_bitmaps() to make sure the superblock doesn't get |
| 7417 | trashed if the inode or block bitmap is marked as being block zero. |
| 7418 | |
| 7419 | Added checking of the new feature set fields in the superblock, to |
| 7420 | avoid dealing with new filesystem features that this package wasn't |
| 7421 | set up to handle. |
| 7422 | |
| 7423 | Fixed a fencepost error in ext2fs_new_block() which would occasionally |
| 7424 | try to allocate a block beyond the end of a filesystem. |
| 7425 | |
| 7426 | When the UUID library picks a random IEEE 802 address (because it |
| 7427 | can't find one from a network card), it sets the multicast bit, to |
| 7428 | avoid conflicting with a legitimate IEEE 802 address. |
| 7429 | |
| 7430 | Mke2fs now sets the root directory's owner to be the real uid of the |
| 7431 | user running mke2fs. If the real uid is non-zero, it also sets |
| 7432 | the group ownership of the root directory to be the real group-id of |
| 7433 | the user running mke2fs. |
| 7434 | |
| 7435 | Mke2fs now has more intelligent error checking when it is given a |
| 7436 | non-existent device. |
| 7437 | |
| 7438 | When badblocks is given the -vv option, it now updates the block that |
| 7439 | it is currently testing on every block. |
| 7440 | |
| 7441 | Fixed a bug in fsck where it wouldn't modify the PATH envirnoment |
| 7442 | currently correctly if PATH wasn't already set. |
| 7443 | |
| 7444 | Shared libraries now built with dependencies. This allows the shared |
| 7445 | library files to be used with dlopen(); it also makes the transition |
| 7446 | to libc 6 easier, since ld.so can tell which libc a particular shared |
| 7447 | library expects to use. |
| 7448 | |
| 7449 | Programmer's notes: |
| 7450 | ------------------- |
| 7451 | |
| 7452 | Added new abstraction (defined in dblist.c) for maintaining a list of |
| 7453 | blocks which belongs to directories. This is used in e2fsck and other |
| 7454 | programs which need to iterate over all directories. |
| 7455 | |
| 7456 | Added new functions which test to see if a contiguous range of blocks |
| 7457 | (or inodes) are available. (ext2fs_*_bitmap_range). |
| 7458 | |
| 7459 | Added new function (ext2_inode_has_valid_blocks) which returns true if |
| 7460 | an inode has valid blocks. (moved from e2fsck code). |
| 7461 | |
| 7462 | Added new function (ext2fs_allocate_tables) which allocates the |
| 7463 | meta-data blocks as part of initializing a filesystem. (moved from |
| 7464 | mke2fs code). |
| 7465 | |
| 7466 | Added a new I/O manager for testing purposes. It will either allow a |
| 7467 | program to intercept I/O requests, or print debugging messages to |
| 7468 | trace the activity of a program using the I/O manager. |
| 7469 | |
| 7470 | The badblocks_list functions now store the bad blocks in a sorted |
| 7471 | order, and use a binary search to speed up badblocks_list_test. |
| 7472 | |
| 7473 | The inode scan function ext2fs_get_next_inode() may now return a soft |
| 7474 | error returns: MISSING_INODE_TABLE and BAD_BLOCK_IN_INODE_TABLE in |
| 7475 | those cases where part of an inode table is missing or there is a bad |
| 7476 | block in the inode table. |
| 7477 | |
| 7478 | Added a new function (ext2fs_block_iterate2) which adds new arguments to |
| 7479 | the callback function to return a pointer (block and offset) to the |
| 7480 | reference of the block. |
| 7481 | |
| 7482 | Added new function (ext2fs_inode_scan_goto_blockgroup) which allows an |
| 7483 | application to jump to a particular block group while doing an inode |
| 7484 | scan. |
| 7485 | |
| 7486 | The badblocks list functions were renamed from badblocks_* to |
| 7487 | ext2fs_badblocks_*. Backwards compatibility functions are available |
| 7488 | for now, but programs should be modified to use the new interface. |
| 7489 | |
| 7490 | Some of the library functions were reorganized into separate files to |
| 7491 | reduce the size of some programs which statically link against the |
| 7492 | ext2 library. |
| 7493 | |
| 7494 | Put in some miscellaneous fixes for the Alpha platform. |
| 7495 | |

| 7497 | E2fsprogs 1.06 (October 7, 1996) |
| 7498 | ================================ |
| 7499 | |
| 7500 | Fixed serious bug in e2fsck: if the block descriptors are bad, don't |
| 7501 | smash the backup copies in ext2fs_close(). (The problem was that when |
| 7502 | e2fsck -p discovered the problem, while it was closing the filesystem |
| 7503 | and exiting, it was also blowing away the backup superblocks on the |
| 7504 | disk, which was less than friendly.) We now make it the case that we |
| 7505 | only write out the backup superblock and the back block descriptors if |
| 7506 | the filesystem is completely free from problems. |
| 7507 | |
| 7508 | Fixed a bug in block_interate in the lib/ext2fs library which caused |
| 7509 | e2fsck to fail on GNU Hurd-created filesystems. |
| 7510 | |
| 7511 | Add support for Linux/FT's bootloader, which actually uses |
| 7512 | EXT2_BOOT_LOADER, and sets its mode bits which caused e2fsck to want |
| 7513 | to clear the inode. |
| 7514 | |
| 7515 | Add support for the "A" (no atime update) attribute. (Note: this |
| 7516 | attribute is not yet in production kernels.) |
| 7517 | |
| 7518 | The test suite is not automatically run when doing a "make all" from |
| 7519 | the top level directory. Users should manually run "make check" if |
| 7520 | they wish to run the test suite. |
| 7521 | |
| 7522 | Upon a preenhalt(), make the printed message more explicit that |
| 7523 | running e2fsck "MANAULLY" means without the -p or -a options. |
| 7524 | |
| 7525 | In e2fsck, if a disconnected inode is zero-length, offer to clear it |
| 7526 | instead of offering to connect it to lost+found. |
| 7527 | |
| 7528 | In e2fsck, if a filesystem was just unmounted uncleanly, and needs |
| 7529 | e2fsck to be run over it, change e2fsck to explicitly display this |
| 7530 | fact. |
| 7531 | |
| 7532 | For dumpe2fs and e2fsck, cause the -V option to print out which |
| 7533 | version of the ext2fs library is actually getting used. (This will |
| 7534 | help detect mismatches of using a 1.06 utility with a 1.05 library, |
| 7535 | etc.) |
| 7536 | |
| 7537 | Programmers' notes: |
| 7538 | ------------------- |
| 7539 | |
| 7540 | EXT2_SWAP_BYTES was changed to EXT2_FLAG_SWAP_BYTES, which better fits |
| 7541 | the naming convention. |
| 7542 | |
| 7543 | In ext2fs_initialize(), make sure the description for the inode bitmap |
| 7544 | is correctly initialize. |
| 7545 | |
| 7546 | Fixed minor type typo in ext2fs_allocate_generic_bitmap(); |
| 7547 | |
Theodore Ts'o | fc6d9d5 | 1997-04-29 14:51:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7548 | E2fsprogs 1.05 (September 7, 1996) |
| 7549 | ================================== |
| 7550 | |
| 7551 | Add support for new fields in the ext2 superblock --- volume name, |
| 7552 | volume UUID, and last mounted field. Dumpe2fs displays these fields, |
| 7553 | tune2fs and mke2fs allows you to set them. E2fsck will automatically |
| 7554 | generate a UUID for those volumes that don't have them. |
| 7555 | |
| 7556 | Put in support for e2fsck to recognize HURD specific ext2 features --- |
| 7557 | most notably, the translator block. The e2fsprogs tools will now use |
| 7558 | the creator_os field in the superblock to correctly handle different |
| 7559 | OS-specific variants of the ext2 filesystem. |
| 7560 | |
| 7561 | E2fsck now fixes inodes which have a the deletion time set, but which |
| 7562 | have a non-zero i_link_count field by offering to clear the deletion |
| 7563 | time. Previously e2fsck assumed that the inode was deleted (per 0.3c |
| 7564 | ext2 kernel behavior) and offered to unlink the file. |
| 7565 | |
| 7566 | If e2fsck sets the clean bit, but nothing else, set the exit code |
| 7567 | FSCK_NONDESTRUCT. After all, e2fsck did fix a filesystem error --- it |
| 7568 | set the filesystem valid bit when it was previously cleared. :-) This |
| 7569 | was needed to make the HURD fsck driver happy. |
| 7570 | |
| 7571 | If the user refuses to attach an unattached inode, e2fsck will no |
| 7572 | longer set the inode's link count. Otherwise, the inode would end up |
| 7573 | getting marked as unused, which might cause loss of data later. |
| 7574 | |
| 7575 | Make the message issued by e2fsck when the superblock is corrupt less |
| 7576 | confusing for users. It now mentions that another reason for the |
| 7577 | "corrupt superblock" message might be that the partition might not be |
| 7578 | an ext2 filesystem at all (it might swap, msdos filesystem, ufs, etc.) |
| 7579 | |
| 7580 | Make the libext2 library more robuest so that e2fsck won't coredump on |
| 7581 | an illegal superblock where the blocksize is zero. (f_crashdisk is |
| 7582 | the test case). |
| 7583 | |
| 7584 | By default, create filesystems where the default checkinterval is 6 |
| 7585 | months (180 days). Linux servers can be robust enough that 20 reboots |
| 7586 | can be a long, long time. |
| 7587 | |
| 7588 | Added configure flag --enable-old-bitops, which forces the bitops to |
| 7589 | use the old (native) bitmask operations. By default on the sparc |
| 7590 | platform, the standard ext2 bit ordering is now used. |
| 7591 | |
| 7592 | Added a new feature to e2fsck to byte-swap filesystems; this can be |
| 7593 | used to convert old m68k filesystems to use the standard byte-order |
| 7594 | storage for the superblock, inodes, and directory blocks. This |
| 7595 | function is invoked by using the '-s' option to e2fsck. |
| 7596 | |
| 7597 | Debugfs's "dump" command has been enhanced so that it writes out the |
| 7598 | exact size of the file so that the nulls at the end of the file are |
| 7599 | eliminated. The command also accept a new "-p" option which will |
| 7600 | attempt preserve to preserve the ownernship, permissions, and |
| 7601 | file modification/access times. |
| 7602 | |
| 7603 | Debugfs has two new options, -f and -R. The -R option allows the user |
| 7604 | to execute a single debugfs command from the command line. The -f |
| 7605 | option allows the user to specify a "command file" containing debugfs |
| 7606 | commands which will get executed. |
| 7607 | |
| 7608 | Dumpe2fs now pretty prints the check interval, instead of just |
| 7609 | printing the check interval as a number of seconds. |
| 7610 | |
| 7611 | Fix bugs in debugfs: the params command when no filesystem is opened |
| 7612 | no longer causes a core dump. It is now possible to unlink a file |
| 7613 | when a pathame containing a '/' is specified. |
| 7614 | |
| 7615 | Tune2fs has a new -C option which sets the number of times the |
| 7616 | filesystem has been mounted. |
| 7617 | |
| 7618 | Fix the chattr '-v' option so that it actually works. Chattr was |
| 7619 | being buggy about the -v option parsing. |
| 7620 | |
| 7621 | Programmers' notes: |
| 7622 | ------------------- |
| 7623 | |
| 7624 | The directory lib/uuid contains a set of library routines to generate |
| 7625 | DCE compatible UUIDs. |
| 7626 | |
| 7627 | Extended ext2fs_namei() to handle symbolic links. Added new function |
| 7628 | ext2fs_nami_follow() which will follow last symbolic link in the case |
| 7629 | where the pathname points to a sym link. |
| 7630 | |
| 7631 | The ext2fs_block_iterate function will now return the HURD translator |
| 7632 | block, if present. The new flag BLOCK_FLAG_DATA_ONLY will cause the |
| 7633 | iterator to return data blocks only. The ext2fs.h file now defines |
| 7634 | constants BLOCK_COUNT_IND, BLOCK_COUNT_DIND, BLOCK_COUNT_TIND, and |
| 7635 | BLOCK_COUNT_TRANSLATOR, which are the magic values passed in the block |
| 7636 | count field of the iterator callback function. |
| 7637 | |
| 7638 | The test script driver now takes an optional second argument, which is |
| 7639 | the test case to be run. This allows you to run a test case without |
| 7640 | needing to run the entire test suite. |
| 7641 | |
| 7642 | On Linux ELF systems, install the .so files in the correct places |
| 7643 | (/usr/lib). The .so files must be stored in the same directory as the |
| 7644 | .a files. |
| 7645 | |
| 7646 | Fixed miscellaneous HURD compilation issues with header file being |
| 7647 | included in the right order. |
| 7648 | |
| 7649 | Fixed debugfs so that it resets optind to zero, not one, since setting |
| 7650 | optind to zero is more correct. |
| 7651 | |

Theodore Ts'o | a4d0961 | 1997-04-29 14:28:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 7653 | E2fsprogs 1.04 (May 16, 1996) |
| 7654 | ============================= |
| 7655 | |
| 7656 | First "official" (1.03 was a limited release only) to support building |
| 7657 | e2fsprogs under Linux 2.0 kernels (as well as late model 1.3 and 1.99 |
| 7658 | kernels). |
| 7659 | |
| 7660 | This package includes a RPM specs file, that it can be built using the |
| 7661 | RedHat Package Manager. |
| 7662 | |
| 7663 | E2fsck now prints a hint that if there are lots of incorrectly located |
| 7664 | inode bitmaps, block bitmaps, and inode table blocks, the user might |
| 7665 | want to try using e2fsck -b 8193 first, to see if that fares any |
| 7666 | better. |
| 7667 | |
| 7668 | For ext2 filesystem written with the hurd, debugfs will now print out |
| 7669 | the translator field when printing an inode structure. |
| 7670 | |
| 7671 | Lots of miscellaneous linking/installation cleanups: |
| 7672 | |
| 7673 | Libraries are now linked using a relative pathname, instead of |
| 7674 | relying on -L working correct. It doesn't, in many cases, including |
| 7675 | current versions of GNU ld. This guarantees that the build tree is |
| 7676 | linking with the right libraries, instead of the ones installed in |
| 7677 | /usr/lib. |
| 7678 | |
| 7679 | Header files, man pages, and the et/ss shell scripts are now |
| 7680 | generated using a custom substitution script, instead of relying on |
| 7681 | the configure script. This prevents needless recompilation of |
| 7682 | files; in addition, the custom substitution script is much faster. |
| 7683 | |
| 7684 | e2fsck may now be linked dynamically, by using the |
| 7685 | --enable-dynamic-e2fsck flag to configure. This is not recommended, |
| 7686 | since it increases e2fsck's dependence on other files, but some |
| 7687 | people need to save disk space, and other critical programs on their |
| 7688 | systems were being linked dynamically anyway. |
| 7689 | |
| 7690 | Programs such as fsck which didn't need to be linked against |
| 7691 | libext2fs (or mke2fs which didn't need to be linked against libe2p) |
| 7692 | only link against libraries they actually need. Otherwise, those |
| 7693 | programs would require the presense of libraries that otherwise |
| 7694 | could be removed from a rescuse diskette. |
| 7695 | |
| 7696 | The ss include files are now installed correctly so they can |
| 7697 | actually be used by another package. |
| 7698 | |
| 7699 | If the profiling libraries are built, they are now installed on a |
| 7700 | "make install-libs". |

| 7704 | =============================== |
| 7705 | |
| 7706 | Change the m68k bit numbering for bitmasks to match the bit numbering |
| 7707 | used by all other ext2 implementations. (This change was requested by |
| 7708 | the m68k kernel development team.) |
| 7709 | |
| 7710 | Support (in-development) filesystem format revision which supports |
| 7711 | (among other things) dynamically sized inodes. |
| 7712 | |
| 7713 | Fixed a bug in the ext2 library so that an intelligent error is |
| 7714 | returned if mke2fs is run with a ridiculously small number of blocks |
| 7715 | for a partition. |
| 7716 | |
| 7717 | Fixed a bug in the ext2 library which required that the device be |
| 7718 | openable in read/write mode in order to determine its size. This |
| 7719 | caused e2fsck -n to require read/write access when it was not |
| 7720 | previously necessary. |
| 7721 | |
| 7722 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which casued it to occasionally fail the test |
| 7723 | suite depending on which version of the floating point library it was |
| 7724 | using. |
| 7725 | |
| 7726 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck so that it now halts with a fatal error when |
| 7727 | certain superblock consistency checks fail. Previously it continued |
| 7728 | running e2fsck, with some potential confusing/damaging consequences. |
| 7729 | |
| 7730 | Added new flag to fsck which allows the root to be checked in parallel |
| 7731 | with other filesytems. This is not the safest thing in the world to |
| 7732 | do, but some system administrators really wanted it. |
| 7733 | |

| 7737 | E2fsprogs 1.02 (January 16, 1996) |
| 7738 | ================================= |
| 7739 | |
| 7740 | Fix to allow e2fsprogs to be compiled on recent 1.3 (pl45+) kernels. |
| 7741 | |
| 7742 | Change e2fsck to print statistics of how many non-contiguous files are |
| 7743 | on the system. Note that a file which is larger than 8k blocks, it is |
| 7744 | guaranteed to be non-contiguous. |
| 7745 | |
| 7746 | In mke2fs, print a warning message if a user tries to format a whole |
| 7747 | disk (/dev/hda versus /dev/hda1). If a user really wants to format a |
| 7748 | whole disk, the -F (force) option forces mke2fs to format a whole disk |
| 7749 | as a filesytem. |
| 7750 | |
| 7751 | Fix a bug in fsck where in some cases it might start checking |
| 7752 | partitions in the next pass before it finishes checking partitions in |
| 7753 | the current pass. This still won't cause two partitions on the same |
| 7754 | disk will be checked, so it's rarely a problem in real life. |
| 7755 | |
| 7756 | Patch lsattr so that it won't hang when checking a named pipe. |
| 7757 | |
| 7758 | Minor compilation fixes: |
| 7759 | * Fix the order of libraries that were linked in debugfs. |
| 7760 | * Allow the sources to be compiled with -ansi turned on. |
