2
3 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
4 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
5 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
6 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.

9
Theodore Ts'oc96e5112000-05-08 14:47:15 +000010 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
11 or LABEL= specification is given.
12
Theodore Ts'o4ea0a112000-05-08 13:33:17 +000013 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
14 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
15 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
16 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
17 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
18 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
19
20 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
21 proceed_question that was busted due to the
22 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
23 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
24 cleared of the previous question's newline.

27
28 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
29 support fdatasync().

Theodore Ts'offe4cab2000-04-03 13:27:41 +0000312000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
32
Theodore Ts'o373b8332000-04-03 16:22:35 +000033 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
34 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
35 manually define optarg and optind.
36
Theodore Ts'o4d003982000-04-03 16:01:11 +000037 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
38 Beattie.
39
40 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
41 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
42 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
43 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
44
Theodore Ts'offe4cab2000-04-03 13:27:41 +000045 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
46 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
47 address.
48 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
49
Theodore Ts'oe1a0a3e2000-02-11 05:00:19 +0000502000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
51
52 * chattr.1.in:
53 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
54
55 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
56
57 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
58
59 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
60 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
61
62 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
63 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
64 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
65 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
66 the same flag.
67
68 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
69 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
70 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.

73
Theodore Ts'od9c56d32000-02-08 00:47:55 +000074 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
75 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
76 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
77 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
78 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
79
Theodore Ts'odd018f52000-02-06 23:57:07 +000080 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
81 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
82 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
83 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
84 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
85 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
86
87 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
88
Theodore Ts'ob4ee1fb2000-02-02 19:08:51 +0000892000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
90
91 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
92 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
93 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
94 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
95 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
96
97 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
98 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
99
100 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
101

103
104 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
105 document the -s option.
106
Theodore Ts'o879ac922000-01-18 20:59:11 +00001072000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
108
109 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
110 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
111 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
112 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
113
114 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
115 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
116 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
117 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
118 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
119 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
120 Finally, the original data is written back.
121
122 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
123 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
124 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
125 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
126 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
127 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
128 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
129 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
130 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
131 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
132 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
133 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
134 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
135 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
136 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
137
138 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
139 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
140 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
141 randomly.
142
143 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
144 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
145
146 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
147 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
148 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
149 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
150 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
151 and want the host hard drive to flush.
152
153 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
154 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
155 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
156 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
157 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
158 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
159 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
160 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
161 scan).
162
163 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
164 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
165 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
166 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
167 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
168 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
169 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
170 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
171 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
172 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
173 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
174 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
175 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
176 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
177 completely reliable.
178
179 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
180 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
181 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
182 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
183 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
184 for your information.
185
186 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
187 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
188 which I install which will write back whatever original
189 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
190 (except SIGKILL, of course).
191
192 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
193 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
194 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
195 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
196 could learn how to update the manpage and other
197 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
198 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
199 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
200 should be in the distribution."

203
204 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
205 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
206 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
207
Theodore Ts'obfd21931999-11-23 13:48:58 +00002081999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
209
210 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
211 option is properly named.
212
Theodore Ts'o6733c2f1999-11-23 02:23:30 +00002131999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
214
215 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
216 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
217 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
218
Theodore Ts'o5c36a2f1999-11-19 18:42:30 +00002191999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
220
221 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
222 the source directory.
223
Theodore Ts'o6fdc7a31999-11-10 13:34:40 +00002241999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>

227
2281999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
229
Theodore Ts'o6fdc7a31999-11-10 13:34:40 +0000230 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
231 filesystem option is properly named.
232
Theodore Ts'o6a35ffa1999-11-04 22:34:43 +00002331999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
234
235 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
236 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
237 fsck -As can do so interactively.
238
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +00002391999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
240
Theodore Ts'o28e11941999-10-26 18:17:20 +0000241 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
242
2431999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
244
Theodore Ts'o3bc03661999-10-26 17:17:00 +0000245 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
246 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
247 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
248
Theodore Ts'o36b01301999-10-26 14:38:36 +0000249 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
250 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
251 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
252 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
253
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +0000254 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
Theodore Ts'o9094f281999-10-26 16:42:50 +0000255 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
256 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
257 gcc warnings.
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +0000258
Theodore Ts'ob5135711999-10-26 14:33:24 +0000259 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
260 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
261 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
262 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
263 the child process.
264
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +0000265 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
266 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
267
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +00002681999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
269
270 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
271 happy.
Theodore Ts'oe6597041999-10-26 02:30:16 +0000272 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
273 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
274 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +0000275
276 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
277 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
278 an infinite loop.
279
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +00002801999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
281
Theodore Ts'o614fdfd1999-10-23 03:19:51 +0000282 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
283
2841999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
285
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +0000286 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
287 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
288 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
289 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
290
291 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
292 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
293 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
294 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
295
Theodore Ts'ocaf8ce41999-10-21 19:56:34 +00002961999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
297
298 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
299 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
300 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
301 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
302 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
303
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +00003041999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
305
Theodore Ts'o671cbfa1999-10-20 18:14:23 +0000306 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
307 changing the sparse superblock option
308
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +0000309 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
310 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
311 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
312 unhandled SIGUSR1.
313
3141999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o76714331999-10-20 18:06:29 +0000315
316 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
317 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
318
Theodore Ts'o27401561999-09-14 20:11:19 +00003191999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
320
321 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
322 Dirson.
323
324 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
325 kernels.
326
327 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
328 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
329 flag.
330
331 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
332 (header-only).
333
3341999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
335
336 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
337 superblock option.
338
3391999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o657cb971999-07-30 23:19:10 +0000340
341 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
342
Theodore Ts'o50787ea1999-07-19 15:30:21 +00003431999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
344
345 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
346 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
347 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
348 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
349 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
350 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
351 the filesystem the system would make.
352
3531999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
354
355 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
356 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
357 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
358 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
359 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
360
3611999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o9f10a7b1999-07-16 10:41:36 +0000362
363 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
364 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
365 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
366
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +00003671999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o5dbb0721999-07-03 06:16:06 +0000368
369 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
370 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
371
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +00003721999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o2d8defd1999-07-03 01:59:42 +0000373
374 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
375 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
376 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
377 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
378 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
379 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
380
381 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
382 UUID=bar type specifications.
383
Theodore Ts'o00eedba1999-07-03 00:45:58 +00003841999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
385
386 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
387 clear out a large block number.
388
Theodore Ts'oca3c3281999-06-29 14:37:35 +00003891999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
390
391 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it

405
406 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
407 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
408 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
409 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.

429
430 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
431 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
432 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
433 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
434 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
435 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
436

444 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
445 to finish.

551
552 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
553 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into

783
784 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support for new option -C, which sets the
785 current number of mounts.
786 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
787 mostly for debugging.
788
789Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
790
791 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.
792 (SPROGS): Use @FSCK_PROG@ instead of fsck.
793
794Thu Aug 22 00:51:44 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
795
796 * mke2fs.c (zap_bootblock): Don't do zap_bootblock on a
797 sparc.
798
799Tue Aug 20 00:15:46 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
800
801 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
802 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
803
804Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
805
806 * tune2fs.8.in:
807 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
808 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
809 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
810
811 * mke2fs.8.in:
812 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
813 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
814 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
815 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
816 mounted directory.
817
818Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
819
820 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
821 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
822 and no version number is specified.
823
Theodore Ts'o62c06f71997-04-29 14:34:47 +0000824Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
825
826 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
827
828Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
829
830 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
831 libraries.
832
Theodore Ts'o7f88b041997-04-26 14:48:50 +0000833Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
834
835 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
836
837Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
838
839 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
840 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
841
842Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
843
844 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
845
846 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
847 revision.
848
849Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
850
851 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
852 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
853 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
854 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
855 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
856 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
857 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
858 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
859 option turned on.
860
Theodore Ts'o74becf31997-04-26 14:37:06 +0000861Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
862
863 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
864
865Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
866
867 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
868 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
869 vs. /dev/hda1)
870
871Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
872
873 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
874 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
875 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
876 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
877 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
878
879Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
880
881 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
882 ext2fs_test_bit().
883
Theodore Ts'o297f47a1997-04-26 14:25:20 +0000884Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
885
886 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
887 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
888
Theodore Ts'oa418d3a1997-04-26 14:00:26 +0000889Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
890
891 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
892
893Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
894
895 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
896 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
897 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
898
899Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
900
901 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
902 the same order.
903
904Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
905
906 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
907 function to determine if the device is mounted.
908
909 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
910 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
911 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
912 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
913
914Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
915
916 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
917 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
918 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
919 check.
920
921Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
922
923 * badblocks.8:
924 * chattr.1:
925 * dumpe2fs.8:
926 * fsck.8:
927 * lsattr.1:
928 * mke2fs.8:
929 * mklost+found.8:
930 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
931
932Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
933
934 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
935 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
936 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
937
938 * mke2fs.8:
939 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
940
941Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
942
943 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
944 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(&param), instead of assuming that the
945 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
946
947Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
948
949 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
950 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
951 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
952 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
953 advisable.
954
955 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
956 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
957 alloca is not portable!
958
959 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
960 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
961 /etc/fstab.
962
963 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
964
965Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
966
967 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
968 benefit.
969
970 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
971
972 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
973 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
974
975Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
976
977 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
978 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
979
980Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
981
982 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
983
984 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
985 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
986
987 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
988
989Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
990
991 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
992 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
993 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
994 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
995
996 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
997 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
998 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
999 statically sized buffer.
1000 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1001 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1002
1003 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1004 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1005 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1006 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1007 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1008
1009 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1010 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1011 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1012 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1013 (test_rw): Ditto.
1014
1015 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1016 support separate compilation directories.
1017
Theodore Ts'of3db3561997-04-26 13:34:30 +00001018Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1019
1020 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1021 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1022 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1023 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1024
1025 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1026 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1027 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1028 very large partition.
1029
1030 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1031 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1032 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1033
1034 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1035 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1036 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1037 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1038 ioctl, which most do.)
1039
1040 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1041 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1042 during 0.5b development.)
1043
1044Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1045
1046 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1047 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1048 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1049 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1050 measure).
1051
1052 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1053 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1054 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1055
1056Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1057
1058 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1059
1060 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1061 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1062 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1063
1064Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1065
1066 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1067 new options.
1068 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1069
1070Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1071
1072 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1073 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1074 all partitions should be checked.
1075
1076Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1077
1078 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1079 structures.
1080
1081 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1082 the effective uid.
1083
1084Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1085
1086 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1087 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1088
1089Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1090
1091 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1092
1093Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1094
1095 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1096 read-only test.
1097
1098 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1099
1100 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1101
1102 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1103
1104 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1105
1106 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1107
1108Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1109
1110 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1111 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1112 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1113 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1114 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1115
1116 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1117 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1118 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1119 statistics if necessary.
