2
Theodore Ts'of10748d2000-12-31 13:55:14 +00003 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
4 the file attributes.
5
6 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
7 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
8
Theodore Ts'o9a718842000-12-31 13:48:12 +00009 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
10 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
11 support for the journaled data flag.
12
13 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
14
Theodore Ts'o16ad3332000-12-31 03:21:56 +0000152000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
16
17 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
18
19 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
20 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
21
Theodore Ts'ob9fd8c12000-12-29 03:10:45 +0000222000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
23
24 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
25 names.
26
27 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
28 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
29 instead of core dumping.
30
Theodore Ts'o74a74d22000-12-09 14:33:29 +0000312000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
32
Theodore Ts'od48755e2000-12-09 14:36:04 +000033 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
34 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
35 journal creation routines for this purpose.
36
37 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
38 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
39
Theodore Ts'o74a74d22000-12-09 14:33:29 +000040 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
41 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
42
Theodore Ts'o793e27d2000-12-03 06:33:56 +0000432000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
44
45 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
46 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
47 memory.
48
49 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
50 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
51
52 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
53
Theodore Ts'oe1c6b2f2000-12-02 06:19:33 +0000542000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
55
Theodore Ts'o2d091792000-12-02 07:03:32 +000056 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
57 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
58 #63442)
59
Theodore Ts'oe9f9dd82000-12-02 06:35:07 +000060 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
61 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
62 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
63 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
64 #65267)
65
Theodore Ts'oe1c6b2f2000-12-02 06:19:33 +000066 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
67 group names to uid's before storing them in the
68 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
69
Theodore Ts'o8ddaa662000-11-17 04:55:24 +0000702000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
71
72 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
73 option=argument style options, and add support for
74 creating filesystems with external journals.
75
76 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
77
Theodore Ts'o72ed1262000-11-12 19:32:20 +0000782000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
79
80 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
81 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
82
Theodore Ts'o85ef4ae2000-10-24 19:33:45 +0000832000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
84
Theodore Ts'of6f65832000-10-25 03:01:37 +000085 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
86 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
87 at this point.)
88
Theodore Ts'o0056be12000-10-25 02:24:33 +000089 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
90 character labels.
91
Theodore Ts'o43819662000-10-25 02:06:09 +000092 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
93 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
94 other devices.
95
Theodore Ts'o85ef4ae2000-10-24 19:33:45 +000096 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
97 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
98 journal.
99
Theodore Ts'oe294cf22000-10-24 18:41:44 +00001002000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
101
102 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
103 didn't catch.
104
Theodore Ts'o3f1e9a52000-09-12 21:21:52 +00001052000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
106
107 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
108 systems with four IDE interfaces.
109
Theodore Ts'od7e39b02000-09-11 17:01:35 +00001102000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
111
112 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
113 fails.
114
115 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
116 the inode table location in non-hex format.
117
Theodore Ts'o556ccbd2000-08-20 19:11:05 +00001182000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
119
120 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
121 we can't find the device using the name given by
122 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
123 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
124
Theodore Ts'o80c22c92000-08-14 15:32:11 +00001252000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
126
127 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
128 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
129 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
130
131 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
132
Theodore Ts'oe41784e2000-08-14 14:44:15 +00001332000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
134
135 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
136 zap_sect.
137 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
138 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
139
Theodore Ts'o28412de2000-07-27 02:45:55 +00001402000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
141
142 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
143 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
144
Theodore Ts'of9e67062000-07-13 23:25:54 +00001452000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
146
147 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
148
Theodore Ts'oa551b782000-07-13 22:05:31 +00001492000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
150
151 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
152 are mutually exclusive.
153
154 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
155 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
156 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
157 the long run.)
158
159 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
160 variable before going into the write verification loop.
161 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
162 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
163 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
164 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
165 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
166 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
167 routines anymore.
168
169 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
170 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
171 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
172 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
173 format string.
174
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +00001752000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
176
Theodore Ts'o19c68912000-07-07 03:25:13 +0000177 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
178 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
179 the progress bar display logic.
180
Theodore Ts'o45d9e2f2000-07-07 03:12:54 +0000181 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
182 max_mount_count is negative.
183
184 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
185 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
186 check.
187
Theodore Ts'o5b1519b2000-07-06 14:16:08 +0000188 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
189 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
190 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
191 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
192 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
193 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
194
Theodore Ts'o981dc562000-07-06 14:13:29 +0000195 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
196 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
197 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
198
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +0000199 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
200 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
Theodore Ts'o981dc562000-07-06 14:13:29 +0000201 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
202 for the -f option.
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +0000203
204 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
205 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
206 device as a default.
207
Theodore Ts'od49a22b2000-07-06 00:31:27 +00002082000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
209
210 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
211 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
212 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
213 old, overly complicated logic.
214 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
215 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
216 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
217
Theodore Ts'o26ab5312000-05-29 15:05:42 +00002182000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
219
220 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
221 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
222 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
223 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
224
Theodore Ts'o4ea0a112000-05-08 13:33:17 +00002252000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
226
Theodore Ts'oc96e5112000-05-08 14:47:15 +0000227 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
228 or LABEL= specification is given.
229
Theodore Ts'o4ea0a112000-05-08 13:33:17 +0000230 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
231 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
232 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
233 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
234 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
235 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
236
237 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
238 proceed_question that was busted due to the
239 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
240 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
241 cleared of the previous question's newline.
242
Theodore Ts'oe2207ce2000-04-06 21:51:18 +0000243Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
244
245 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
246 support fdatasync().
247
Theodore Ts'offe4cab2000-04-03 13:27:41 +00002482000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
249
Theodore Ts'o373b8332000-04-03 16:22:35 +0000250 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
251 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
252 manually define optarg and optind.
253
Theodore Ts'o4d003982000-04-03 16:01:11 +0000254 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
255 Beattie.
256
257 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
258 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
259 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
260 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
261
Theodore Ts'offe4cab2000-04-03 13:27:41 +0000262 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
263 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
264 address.
265 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
266
Theodore Ts'oe1a0a3e2000-02-11 05:00:19 +00002672000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
268
269 * chattr.1.in:
270 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
271
272 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
273
274 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
275
276 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
277 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
278
279 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
280 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
281 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
282 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
283 the same flag.
284
285 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
286 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
287 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
288
Theodore Ts'odd018f52000-02-06 23:57:07 +00002892000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
290
Theodore Ts'od9c56d32000-02-08 00:47:55 +0000291 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
292 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
293 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
294 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
295 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
296
Theodore Ts'odd018f52000-02-06 23:57:07 +0000297 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
298 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
299 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
300 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
301 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
302 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
303
304 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
305
Theodore Ts'ob4ee1fb2000-02-02 19:08:51 +00003062000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
307
308 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
309 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
310 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
311 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
312 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
313
314 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
315 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
316
317 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
318

320
321 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
322 document the -s option.
323
Theodore Ts'o879ac922000-01-18 20:59:11 +00003242000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
325
326 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
327 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
328 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
329 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
330
331 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
332 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
333 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
334 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
335 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
336 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
337 Finally, the original data is written back.
338
339 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
340 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
341 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
342 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
343 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
344 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
345 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
346 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
347 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
348 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
349 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
350 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
351 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
352 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
353 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
354
355 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
356 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
357 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
358 randomly.
359
360 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
361 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
362
363 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
364 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
365 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
366 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
367 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
368 and want the host hard drive to flush.
369
370 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
371 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
372 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
373 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
374 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
375 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
376 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
377 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
378 scan).
379
380 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
381 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
382 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
383 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
384 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
385 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
386 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
387 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
388 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
389 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
390 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
391 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
392 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
393 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
394 completely reliable.

396 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
397 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
398 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
399 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
400 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
401 for your information.
402
403 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
404 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
405 which I install which will write back whatever original
406 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
407 (except SIGKILL, of course).
408
409 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
410 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
411 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
412 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
413 could learn how to update the manpage and other
414 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
415 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
416 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
417 should be in the distribution."

420
421 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
422 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
423 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
424
Theodore Ts'obfd21931999-11-23 13:48:58 +00004251999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
426
427 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
428 option is properly named.
429

431
432 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
433 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
434 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
435

449
Theodore Ts'o6a35ffa1999-11-04 22:34:43 +00004501999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
451
452 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
453 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
454 fsck -As can do so interactively.
455
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +00004561999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>

461
Theodore Ts'o3bc03661999-10-26 17:17:00 +0000462 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
463 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
464 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
465
Theodore Ts'o36b01301999-10-26 14:38:36 +0000466 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
467 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
468 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
469 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
470
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +0000471 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
Theodore Ts'o9094f281999-10-26 16:42:50 +0000472 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
473 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
474 gcc warnings.
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +0000475
Theodore Ts'ob5135711999-10-26 14:33:24 +0000476 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
477 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
478 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
479 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
480 the child process.
481
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +0000482 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
483 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
484
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +00004851999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
486
487 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
488 happy.
Theodore Ts'oe6597041999-10-26 02:30:16 +0000489 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
490 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
491 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +0000492
493 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
494 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
495 an infinite loop.
496
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +00004971999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>

500
5011999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
502
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +0000503 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
504 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
505 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
506 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
507
508 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
509 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
510 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
511 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
512
Theodore Ts'ocaf8ce41999-10-21 19:56:34 +00005131999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
514
515 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
516 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
517 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
518 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
519 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
520
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +00005211999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
522
Theodore Ts'o671cbfa1999-10-20 18:14:23 +0000523 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
524 changing the sparse superblock option
525
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +0000526 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
527 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
528 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
529 unhandled SIGUSR1.
530
5311999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o76714331999-10-20 18:06:29 +0000532
533 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
534 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
535
Theodore Ts'o27401561999-09-14 20:11:19 +00005361999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
537
538 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
539 Dirson.
540
541 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
542 kernels.
543
544 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
545 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
546 flag.
547
548 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
549 (header-only).
550
5511999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
552
553 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
554 superblock option.
555
5561999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o657cb971999-07-30 23:19:10 +0000557
558 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
559
Theodore Ts'o50787ea1999-07-19 15:30:21 +00005601999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
561
562 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
563 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
564 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
565 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
566 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
567 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
568 the filesystem the system would make.
569
5701999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
571
572 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
573 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
574 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
575 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
576 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
577
5781999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o9f10a7b1999-07-16 10:41:36 +0000579
580 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
581 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
582 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
583
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +00005841999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o5dbb0721999-07-03 06:16:06 +0000585
586 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
587 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
588
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +00005891999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o2d8defd1999-07-03 01:59:42 +0000590
591 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
592 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
593 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
594 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
595 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
596 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
597
598 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
599 UUID=bar type specifications.
600
Theodore Ts'o00eedba1999-07-03 00:45:58 +00006011999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
602
603 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
604 clear out a large block number.
605
Theodore Ts'oca3c3281999-06-29 14:37:35 +00006061999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
607
608 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
609 appears mounted if the force option is given.
610
Theodore Ts'oe72a9ba1999-06-25 15:40:18 +00006111999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
612
613 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
614 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
615
Theodore Ts'oe2423cc1999-06-18 00:51:31 +00006161999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
617
618 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
619 code cleanups.
620
Theodore Ts'o02e7dd91999-06-18 00:48:41 +00006211999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
622
623 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
624 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
625 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
626 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
627
Theodore Ts'o5d45d801999-03-16 19:35:19 +00006281999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
629
630 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
631 generate UUIDs.
632
6331999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
634
635 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
636 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
637
Theodore Ts'o7d5633c1999-02-09 08:14:28 +00006381999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
639
640 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
641 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
642 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
643 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
644
6451999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
646
647 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
648 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
649 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
650 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
651 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
652 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
653
Theodore Ts'oee922991999-01-16 05:39:12 +00006541999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
655
656 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
657 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
658 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
659 fsck pass structure.
660 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
661 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
662 to finish.
663
Theodore Ts'o7953f611999-01-09 05:03:52 +00006641999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

669
Theodore Ts'o7953f611999-01-09 05:03:52 +0000670 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
671 switch.
672
Theodore Ts'o665f7101999-01-08 13:33:39 +00006731999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
674
675 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
676 needs to be treated as zero.
677
Theodore Ts'oa88fa0c1999-01-05 07:02:39 +00006781999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

681 inodes he/she wishes.
682
Theodore Ts'oa88fa0c1999-01-05 07:02:39 +0000683 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
684 program if the -V option is given.
685
686 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
687 through a directory.
688
Theodore Ts'o93ab9d71999-01-02 04:04:42 +00006891999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
690
691 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
692 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
693 /etc/fstab file.
694 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
695 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
696
6971998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
698
699 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
700 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
701
Theodore Ts'o556ad131998-12-19 08:10:58 +00007021998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

707
708 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
709 seperated", instead of common separated)
710
Theodore Ts'o5a679c81998-12-03 16:40:38 +00007111998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
712
713 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
714
7151998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
716
717 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
718 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
719 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
720
Theodore Ts'o1dde43f1998-11-14 04:18:28 +00007211998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
722
723 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
724
725 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
726 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
727 things look nice on an 80 character display.
728
7291998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
730
731 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage
732 message.
733
Theodore Ts'o4a5fa191998-07-09 05:42:45 +00007341998-07-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

739
740 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
741 being written by e2fsprogs.
742
Theodore Ts'o818180c1998-06-27 05:11:14 +00007431998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
744

748 * tune2fs.c (usage):
749 * lsattr.c (usage):
750 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
751 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
752
753 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
754 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
755 it isn't pretty.)
756
7571998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
758
759 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
760 and exit.
761
Theodore Ts'o4bf5fbf1998-05-14 22:43:10 +00007621998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
763
764 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove check for filesystems with the noauto
765 option.
766
Theodore Ts'o7e44f241998-04-01 03:16:29 +00007671998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
768
769 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
770 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
771 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
772 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
773 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.

888
889 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
890 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
891 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is

934 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
935 blocksize.

957
958 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables

961 initialized.
962

964
965 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
966
967 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
968
969Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
970

1020
1021Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1022
1023 * tune2fs.8.in:
1024 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1025 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1026 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1027
1028 * mke2fs.8.in:
1029 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1030 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1031 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1032 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1033 mounted directory.
1034
1035Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1036
1037 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1038 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1039 and no version number is specified.
1040
Theodore Ts'o62c06f71997-04-29 14:34:47 +00001041Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1058
1059Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1060
1061 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1062
1063 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1064 revision.
1065
1066Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1067
1068 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1069 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1070 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1071 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1072 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1073 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1074 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1075 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1076 option turned on.
1077
Theodore Ts'o74becf31997-04-26 14:37:06 +00001078Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1086 vs. /dev/hda1)
1087
1088Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1089
1090 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1091 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1092 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1093 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1094 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1095
1096Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1097

1102
1103 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1104 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1105
Theodore Ts'oa418d3a1997-04-26 14:00:26 +00001106Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1109
1110Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1111
1112 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1113 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1114 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1115
1116Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1117
1118 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1119 the same order.

1122
1123 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1124 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1125
1126 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1127 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1128 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1129 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1130
1131Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1132
1133 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1134 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1135 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1136 check.
1137
1138Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1139

1159
1160 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1161 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(&param), instead of assuming that the
1162 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1163
1164Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1165
1166 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1167 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1168 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1169 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1170 advisable.
1171
1172 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1173 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1174 alloca is not portable!
1175
1176 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1177 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1178 /etc/fstab.
1179
1180 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1181
1182Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1183
1184 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1185 benefit.
1186
1187 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1188
1189 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1190 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1191
1192Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1193
1194 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1195 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1196
1197Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1198
1199 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1200
1201 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1202 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1203
1204 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1205
1206Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1207
1208 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1209 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1210 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1211 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1212
1213 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1214 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1215 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1216 statically sized buffer.
1217 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1218 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1219
1220 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1221 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1222 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1223 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1224 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1225
1226 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1227 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1228 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1229 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1230 (test_rw): Ditto.
1231
1232 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1233 support separate compilation directories.
1234
Theodore Ts'of3db3561997-04-26 13:34:30 +00001235Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1236
1237 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1238 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1239 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1240 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1241
1242 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1243 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1244 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1245 very large partition.
1246
1247 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1248 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1249 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1250
1251 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1252 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1253 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1254 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1255 ioctl, which most do.)
1256
1257 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1258 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1259 during 0.5b development.)
1260
1261Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1262
1263 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1264 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1265 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1266 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1267 measure).
1268
1269 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1270 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1271 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1272
1273Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1274
1275 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1276
1277 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1278 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1279 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1280
1281Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1282
1283 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1284 new options.
1285 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1286
1287Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1288
1289 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1290 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1291 all partitions should be checked.
1292
1293Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1294
1295 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1296 structures.
1297
1298 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1299 the effective uid.
1300
1301Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1302
1303 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1304 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1305
1306Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1307
1308 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1309
1310Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1311
1312 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1313 read-only test.
1314
1315 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1316
1317 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1318
1319 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1320
1321 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1322
1323 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1324
1325Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1326
1327 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1328 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1329 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1330 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1331 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1332
1333 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1334 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1335 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1336 statistics if necessary.
