2
3 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
4 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
5 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
6 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
7 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
8
9 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
10 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
11
12 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h

21 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
22 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
23 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
24 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
25
26 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
27 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
28 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
29 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
30 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
31 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
32 Finally, the original data is written back.
33
34 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
35 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
36 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
37 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
38 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
39 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
40 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
41 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
42 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
43 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
44 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
45 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
46 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
47 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
48 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
49
50 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
51 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
52 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
53 randomly.
54
55 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
56 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
57
58 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
59 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
60 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
61 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
62 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
63 and want the host hard drive to flush.
64
65 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
66 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
67 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
68 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
69 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
70 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
71 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
72 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
73 scan).
74
75 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
76 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
77 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
78 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
79 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
80 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
81 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
82 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
83 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
84 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
85 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
86 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
87 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
88 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
89 completely reliable.
90
91 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
92 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
93 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
94 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
95 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
96 for your information.
97
98 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
99 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
100 which I install which will write back whatever original
101 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
102 (except SIGKILL, of course).
103
104 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
105 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
106 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
107 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
108 could learn how to update the manpage and other
109 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
110 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
111 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
112 should be in the distribution."

115
116 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
117 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
118 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
119
Theodore Ts'obfd21931999-11-23 13:48:58 +00001201999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
121
122 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
123 option is properly named.
124
Theodore Ts'o6733c2f1999-11-23 02:23:30 +00001251999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
126
127 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
128 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
129 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
130
Theodore Ts'o5c36a2f1999-11-19 18:42:30 +00001311999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>

144
Theodore Ts'o6a35ffa1999-11-04 22:34:43 +00001451999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
146
147 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
148 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
149 fsck -As can do so interactively.
150
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +00001511999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>

154
1551999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
156
Theodore Ts'o3bc03661999-10-26 17:17:00 +0000157 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
158 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
159 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
160
Theodore Ts'o36b01301999-10-26 14:38:36 +0000161 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
162 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
163 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
164 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
165
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +0000166 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
Theodore Ts'o9094f281999-10-26 16:42:50 +0000167 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
168 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
169 gcc warnings.
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +0000170
Theodore Ts'ob5135711999-10-26 14:33:24 +0000171 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
172 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
173 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
174 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
175 the child process.
176
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +0000177 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
178 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
179
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +00001801999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
181
182 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
183 happy.
Theodore Ts'oe6597041999-10-26 02:30:16 +0000184 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
185 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
186 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +0000187
188 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
189 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
190 an infinite loop.
191
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +00001921999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
193
Theodore Ts'o614fdfd1999-10-23 03:19:51 +0000194 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
195
1961999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
197
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +0000198 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
199 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
200 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
201 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
202
203 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
204 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
205 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
206 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
207
Theodore Ts'ocaf8ce41999-10-21 19:56:34 +00002081999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
209
210 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
211 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
212 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
213 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
214 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
215
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +00002161999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
217
Theodore Ts'o671cbfa1999-10-20 18:14:23 +0000218 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
219 changing the sparse superblock option
220
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +0000221 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
222 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
223 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
224 unhandled SIGUSR1.
225
2261999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o76714331999-10-20 18:06:29 +0000227
228 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
229 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
230
Theodore Ts'o27401561999-09-14 20:11:19 +00002311999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
232
233 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
234 Dirson.
235
236 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
237 kernels.
238
239 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
240 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
241 flag.
242
243 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
244 (header-only).
245
2461999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
247
248 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
249 superblock option.
250
2511999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o657cb971999-07-30 23:19:10 +0000252
253 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
254
Theodore Ts'o50787ea1999-07-19 15:30:21 +00002551999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
256
257 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
258 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
259 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
260 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
261 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
262 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
263 the filesystem the system would make.
264
2651999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
266
267 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
268 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
269 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
270 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
271 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
272
2731999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o9f10a7b1999-07-16 10:41:36 +0000274
275 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
276 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
277 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
278
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +00002791999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o5dbb0721999-07-03 06:16:06 +0000280
281 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
282 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
283
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +00002841999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o2d8defd1999-07-03 01:59:42 +0000285
286 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
287 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
288 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
289 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
290 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
291 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
292
293 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
294 UUID=bar type specifications.
295
Theodore Ts'o00eedba1999-07-03 00:45:58 +00002961999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
297
298 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
299 clear out a large block number.
300
Theodore Ts'oca3c3281999-06-29 14:37:35 +00003011999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
302
303 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
304 appears mounted if the force option is given.
305
Theodore Ts'oe72a9ba1999-06-25 15:40:18 +00003061999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
307
308 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
309 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
310
Theodore Ts'oe2423cc1999-06-18 00:51:31 +00003111999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
312
313 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
314 code cleanups.
315
Theodore Ts'o02e7dd91999-06-18 00:48:41 +00003161999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
317
318 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
319 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
320 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
321 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
322
Theodore Ts'o5d45d801999-03-16 19:35:19 +00003231999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
324
325 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
326 generate UUIDs.
327
3281999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
329
330 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
331 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
332
Theodore Ts'o7d5633c1999-02-09 08:14:28 +00003331999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
334
335 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
336 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
337 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
338 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
339
3401999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
341
342 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
343 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
344 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
345 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
346 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
347 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
348
Theodore Ts'oee922991999-01-16 05:39:12 +00003491999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
350
351 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
352 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
353 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
354 fsck pass structure.
355 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
356 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
357 to finish.
358

364
Theodore Ts'o7953f611999-01-09 05:03:52 +0000365 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
366 switch.
367
Theodore Ts'o665f7101999-01-08 13:33:39 +00003681999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
369
370 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
371 needs to be treated as zero.
372
Theodore Ts'oa88fa0c1999-01-05 07:02:39 +00003731999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
374
Theodore Ts'o5515e6b1999-01-05 07:25:06 +0000375 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow the user to specify exactly how many
376 inodes he/she wishes.
377
Theodore Ts'oa88fa0c1999-01-05 07:02:39 +0000378 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
379 program if the -V option is given.
380
381 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
382 through a directory.
383
Theodore Ts'o93ab9d71999-01-02 04:04:42 +00003841999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
385
386 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
387 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
388 /etc/fstab file.
389 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the

463
464 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
465 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
466 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
467 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
468 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
469
Theodore Ts'oa789d841998-03-30 01:20:55 +00004701998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

489 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
490 that the label will be truncated.
491
492 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
493 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
494 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
495

509 of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or
510 mke2fs -l.
511
512 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
513 bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the
514 first one).
515

545 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.

652
653 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
654 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
655 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
656 initialized.
657
658Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
659
660 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
661
662 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
663
664Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

762
763 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
764 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
765 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
766 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
767 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
768 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
769 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
770 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
771 option turned on.

782
783Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
784
785 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
786 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
787 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
788 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
789 submitted by Mike Jagdis)

793 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
794 ext2fs_test_bit().
795

797
798 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
799 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
800
Theodore Ts'oa418d3a1997-04-26 14:00:26 +0000801Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
802
803 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
804
805Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
806
807 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
808 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
809 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
810
811Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
812
813 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
814 the same order.
815
816Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
817
818 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
819 function to determine if the device is mounted.
820
821 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
822 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
823 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
824 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
825
826Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
827
828 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
829 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
830 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
831 check.
832
833Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
834
835 * badblocks.8:
836 * chattr.1:
837 * dumpe2fs.8:
838 * fsck.8:
839 * lsattr.1:
840 * mke2fs.8:
841 * mklost+found.8:
842 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
843
844Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
845
846 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
847 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
848 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
849
850 * mke2fs.8:
851 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
852
853Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
854
855 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
856 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(&param), instead of assuming that the
857 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
858
859Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
860
861 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
862 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
863 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
864 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
865 advisable.
866
867 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
868 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
869 alloca is not portable!
870
871 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
872 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
873 /etc/fstab.
874
875 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
876
877Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
878
879 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
880 benefit.
881
882 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
883
884 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
885 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
886
887Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
888
889 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
890 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
891
892Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
893
894 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
895
896 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
897 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
898
899 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
900
901Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
902
903 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
904 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
905 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
906 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
907
908 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
909 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
910 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
911 statically sized buffer.
912 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
913 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
914
915 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
916 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
917 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
918 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
919 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
920
921 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
922 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
923 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
924 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
925 (test_rw): Ditto.
926
927 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
928 support separate compilation directories.
929
Theodore Ts'of3db3561997-04-26 13:34:30 +0000930Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
931
932 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
933 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
934 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
935 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
936
937 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
938 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
939 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
940 very large partition.
941
942 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
943 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
944 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
945
946 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
947 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
948 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
949 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
950 ioctl, which most do.)
951
952 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
953 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
954 during 0.5b development.)
955
956Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
957
958 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
959 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
960 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
961 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
962 measure).
963
964 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
965 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
966 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
967
968Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
969
970 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
971
972 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
973 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
974 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
975
976Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
977
978 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
979 new options.
980 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
981
982Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
983
984 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
985 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
986 all partitions should be checked.
987
988Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
989
990 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
991 structures.
992
993 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
994 the effective uid.
995
996Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
997
998 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
999 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1000
1001Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1002
1003 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1004
1005Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1006
1007 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1008 read-only test.
1009
1010 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1011
1012 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1013
1014 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1015
1016 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1017
1018 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1019
1020Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1021
1022 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1023 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1024 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1025 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1026 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1027
1028 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1029 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1030 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1031 statistics if necessary.
