blob: 4db1c6d68fedf2ac044acb5a433fd0be7f7655c2 [file] [log] [blame]
2006-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* Makefile.in (resize2fs): Remove unused (and bogus) resize2fs
rule, which shouldn't be in misc/Makefile.in
* mke2fs.c (parse_extended_opts): Use ext2fs_div_ceil() instead of
a using an open-coded expression which was subject to
overflows.
* filefrag.c (div_ceil, frag_report): Fix potential overflow for
really big filesystems.
2006-08-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* findsuper.c (main): Improve findsuper program by printing the
uuid and label from the superblocks, as well as the
starting and ending offsets of the filesystem given the
information in the superblock. Omit by default printing
superblocks that are likely found in located in an ext3
journal unless an explicit -j option is given.
2006-08-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (PRS), util.c (check_mount): In order to force mke2fs
to create a filesystem even though it appears to be in use
or mounted, the -F (force) flag must be specified twice.
* filefrag.c: Change EXT3_EXTENTS_FL to EXT4_EXTENTS_FL
2006-07-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Look up the default inode size in the
mke2fs.conf file.
* mke2fs.8.in, mke2fs.c(usage): Document the -I option.
* mke2fs.conf.5.in: Document the inode_size relation in [defaults]
and [fs_types].
* chattr.1.in: Fix spelling typo
2006-05-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* filefrag.c: Add support for ancient Linux systems that do not
support the LFS api.
2006-05-28 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.8.in (types): Clarify -T option description.
2006-05-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.conf: Make new filesystems with the following features
by default: dir_index and resize_inode.
* mke2fs.conf.5.in: Fix spelling mistakes (Addresses Debian Bug:
#368394)
2006-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* tune2fs.8.in: Clarify how the -c and -C options work.
* tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Don't give a confusing error
message if the user specifies an check time interval
greater than a year; it's probably a bad idea, but it's
not worth it to complain.
2006-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the private option -X to badblocks so
that mke2fs -cc works again. (Addresses Debian bug:
#366017)
* badblocks.c (main, check_mount): Add a private option, -X, which
is only intended for use by mke2fs and e2fsck to signal
that it's OK to skip the EXT2_MF_BUSY test since mke2fs
and e2fsck already have the block device opened
exclusively (and therefore no one else does).
2006-05-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables, setup_lazy_bg, main): Add support
for the COMPAT_LAZY_BG feature. This is currently
intended for debugging purposes only, as a way to create
very large filesystems stored on sparse files for testing
purposes.
* dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Print out the block group flags if they
are set.
2006-04-22 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* filefrag.c: Make filefrag 32-bit clean, so that it works on
filesystems > 8TB.
2006-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* dumpe2fs.c (print_inline_journal_information): Print the size of
the journal.

#357951)
2006-03-27 root <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Add note to man page explaning that
shared journals are not currently supported. (Addresses
Debian Bug: #316040)
2006-03-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* Makefile.in: Make sure $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/man/man5 exists when
installing the man page. Make sure the compressed version
of the man pages are deleted when installing the man
pages.
2006-03-23 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mklost+found.c (main): Use a larger counter field so that we can
create enough directory entries that we can make a full
lost+found directory with larger block sizes.
* mke2fs.conf, mke2fs.conf.5.in: New configuration file which when
installed, provides mke2fs's old behaviour. It makes it
easier for distributions to change which filesystem
options are the default.
* mke2fs.8.in: Update man page to document how the filesystem
features are now set.
* mke2fs.c: Radically rework how the filesystem features are set
when creating filesystems. Use the profile library to
read in a configuration file from /etc/mke2fs.conf.
* util.c (figure_journal_size): If the journal size is 0, assume
the journal size is unspecified and figure out the
approriate journal size instead of bombing out with an
error message.
* Makefile.in: Build and install the mke2fs.conf(5) man page. Add
profile.o from the e2fsck directory to mke2fs executable.
Install the configuration file /etc/mke2fs.conf.
2006-03-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c, mke2fs.c: Change printf
statements to use %u instead of %d when printing block
numbers.
* mke2fs.c (main): Open the filesystem in exclusive mode while we
are initializing it.
2005-12-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* chattr.1.in: Add notes in the man page to make sure the reader
refers to the BUGS AND LIMITATIONS section so that even an
idiot will be able to see that some of these attributes
are not yet implemented. (Addresses Debian Bug: #312515)
2005-12-10 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, filefrag.c, mke2fs.c: Fix various gcc

(Addresses Debian Bug #316811)
2005-11-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* fsck.8.in: Add additional fsck.* programs to the SEE ALSO
section. Fix missing commas in list. (Addresses Debian
Bug #329859)
2005-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.8.in: Fix mke2fs man page to properly document the fact
that mke2fs -L takes an argument. (Addresses Debian Bug
#322188)
* badblocks.c: Add extra spaces when printing the "done" message
to clear out the block number to fix a display corruption
when the -s option is used to display the progress of the
test. (Addresses Debian Bug #322231)
2005-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Allow fractional percentages when
specifying the reserved ratio. (Addresses Debian Bug
#80205).
2006-06-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.38
2005-06-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Do not support filesystems with more 2**31-1
blocks, since there may be kernel bugs with such
filesystems.
2005-06-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos pointed out by Benno Schulenberg.
2005-06-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

compiled cleanly.
* findsuper.c: Fix up comments for grammar.
* dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information), partinfo.c (main): Add
missing _() so all strings can be internationalized.

suggestions from Benno Schulenberg.
2005-06-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix missing close parenthesis from bad inode
ratio error message.
2005-06-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

2005-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* util.c (check_mount): Check the new EXT2_MF_BUSY flag to
see if the device is in use by the system.
* badblocks.c (check_mount): Check the new EXT2_MF_BUSY flag to
see if the device is in use by the system. (Works only
for Linux 2.6 systems, addresses Debian Bug #308594).
2005-05-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* filefrag.c (frag_report, get_bmap): The FIBMAP and FIGETBSZ
ioctls return an integer, not an unsigned long. Fix this
to avoid problems on 64-bit platforms where the size of an
integer != the size of a long. (Addresses Debian Bug
#309655)
2005-05-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* util.c (figure_journal_size): Change the default journal size to
be bigger for larger filesystems, given modern memory
sizes. Now, for filesystems greater than 4GB, we use a
journal of 128 MB instead 32 MB.
* tune2fs.c (main): Fix grammar in message printed when setting
the check interval (tune2fs -i)
* chattr.c: Fix case on usage message.
2005-05-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* blkid.c (main): Use the new functions blkid_dev_set_search() and
blkid_dev_has_tag(). Remove compare_search_type() since
it has been obseleted by blkid_dev_has_tag().
* blkid.c (main): Add a new flag, -l, which will use a more
efficient method to find the device that matches a
particular tag specifier.
2005-05-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* blkid.c (main): Use an int instead of an char to store the
return value from getopt() for better portability on
systems where char types are unsigned. (Addresses
Sourceforge Bug: #1180585)
2005-05-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* badblocks.c (main), mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix error messages by
substituting "bad" with "invalid" to avoid confusion with
"bad blocks". Thanks to Benno Schulenberg for the patch.
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1189803)
* mke2fs.c (test_disk): Fix grammatical error in error message.
Thanks to Benno Schulenberg.
* mke2fs.c (parse_extended_opts): Print the invalid stride
parameter in the error message. Thanks to Benno
Schulenberg.
* fsck.8.in: Fix a few spelling/grammatical errors. Thanks to
Benno Schulenberg.
* filefrag.c (frag_report): Fix so that when the first block to be
found is an indirect block, we don't falsely count an
extra discontinuity. (Addresses Debian Bug: #307607)
2005-04-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix
spelling mistakes in man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs:
#304591, #304592, #304594, #304597)
2005-04-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* filefrag.c (frag_report): Don't abort filefrag if
EXT3_IOC_GETFLAGS ioctl is not supported, so that filefrag
can work on non-ext2/3 filesystems, as advertised.
(Addresses Debian Bug: #303509)
* mke2fs.8.in: Fix minor spelling typo. (Addresses SourceForge
Bug #1177804)
2005-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.37
2005-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Call ext2fs_write_new_inode() instead of
ext2fs_write_inode().
2005-03-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (show_stats): Use the new e2p_os2string() function
2005-03-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* filefrag.c (frag_report): Automatically detect files that are
stored using the new experimental file fragments format,
and use the non-ext2 algorithm for determing the number of
extents. Avoid reporting a false discontinuity if there
is a non-allocated block (or extent) at the beginning of
the file.
2006-02-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.36
2005-02-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* filefrag.c (frag_report): In verbose mode, print the first and
last block numbers; may be useful for some folks.
2005-02-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* tune2fs.c: Define _XOPEN_SOURCE to be 500 to fix compilation
problems on Solaris.
2005-01-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (main): Only call create_resize_inode if the resize
feature is actually enabled.
2005-01-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* blkid.c (main, compare_search_type): Make blkid -t work more
consistently when the blkid cache file is explicitly set
to /dev/null. (Addresses Debian Bug #292425)
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't use a blocksize greater than 4k, even on
2.6 kernels, unless explicitly requested by the user; not
all 2.6 kernels (includeing stock 2.6 kernels as of this
writing) don't support blocksizes > 4k.
* mke2fs.c (PRS): If the device size is too big to be expressed
using a 1k blocksize, retry with a 4k blocksize.
(Addresses Sourceforge bug #1106631)
2005-01-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* Makefile.in (uninstall): Make sure "make uninstall" removes
everything installed by the makefile.
* e2image.c (scramble_dir_block): Make sure the unused space
in the '.' and '..' directory entries are cleared when
e2image -rs is specified.
2005-01-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* tune2fs.8.in: Clarified man page about the -c option.
2005-01-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

specified criteria, not just the first one. (Addresses
Debian Bug #290530)
2005-01-20 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
* filefrag.c (frag_report): Fix filefrag so that it works
correctly with sparse files; unallocated blocks should not
be treated as a discontinuity.
2005-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (show_stats, set_os): Interpret OS Creator values for
FreeBSD and Lites.
2005-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for the -s option which
scrambles directory entries for raw image files.
2005-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* tune2fs.c: On Solaris, defining _XOPEN_SOURCE inexplicably
causes struct timeval to be undefined, breaking system
header files left and right. But glibc requires
_XOPEN_SOURCE in order for strptime() to be defined. So
don't define _XOPEN_SOURCE on Solaris systems.
* filefrag.c (frag_report): Applied patch from Francois Petillon
(fantec at proxad.net) to avoid a file descriptor leak.
2005-01-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* badblocks.c (alarm_intr): Increase the number of spaces reserved
for printing block numbers, so we can correctly display
block numbers numbers greater than 999,999,999.
(Addresses SourceForge bug #1016163)
* tune2fs.c (main): When specifying the number of reservered
blocks that can only be allocated by root, enforce a 50%
limit so that the user can't accidentally make a
superblock which e2fsck will think is insane.
2005-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* fsck.c (PRS): Apply Fedora's e2fsprogs-1.35-progress.patch from
e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2. Fixed multiple command-line parsing
bugs so that backwards compatibility is maintained, and so
that certain command-line options wouldn't be ignored.
* mke2fs.c (parse_extended_opts): Rename the -R option to -E. Fix
the resize= raid/extended option so it actually works.
(The patch from Fedora e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2 claimed it
worked, but it was a placebo option, despite the claim
that it worked in the usage message.)
* e2initrd_helper.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
* e2image.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall nits. Fix e2image so that
e2image -I has an exit code of 0 when it is successful.
* mke2fs.c (PRS, parse_r_opts): Use parse_num_blocks() from the
e2p library to parse the number of blocks from the command
line.
2004-12-23 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): If reserved GDT blocks are present,
display them along with the other filesystem meta blocks.
2004-12-22 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* fsck.c (main): Check return from malloc of fsck_path string.
2004-12-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* tune2fs.c (parse_time): Fix minor buglet; the parse_time routine
should use the passed-in argument, not optarg, even though
the two are the same in the case of the current caller of
said function.
2004-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c: Applied resize inode patch from Andreas Dilger to add
support for creating filesystems with reserved space for
on-line expansion.
2004-12-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* Makefile.in: Move strip command to install-strip target.
Use Linux-kernel-style makefile output for "make install"
* Makefile.in (installdirs): Use $(MKINSTALLDIRS) macro
2004-12-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* e2image.8.in: Fix minor glitches in man page.
2004-11-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* Makefile.in: Delete e2initrd_helper when doing a make clean.
* tune2fs.c: If there is a question mark in the device name,
separate out the options to the IO layer, and pass it on
to ext2fs_open2().
* Makefile.in: Use Linux-kernel-style makefile output to make it
easier to see errors/warnings.
2004-11-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.8.in: Removed the word "destructive" when describing the
read-write test, since it can confuse people.
2004-10-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.8.in: Add an explanation about why reserved blocks in a
filesystem is a good thing.
2004-09-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

Debian Bug #273679)
2004-09-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): Only use blocksizes > 4k on Linux
2.6 and newer systems. (Addresses Debian Bug #271064)
2004-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Avoid double // when listing the
root directory, or when there is a trailing '/' in the
directory name. (Addresses Debian Bug #272943)
* Makefile.in: Make sure /usr/lib is created for when we install
e2initrd_helper.
2004-09-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* badblocks.c: Use _() around done_string, so that it gets
correctly translated. (Addresses Debian Bug #252836)
* tune2fs.8.in: Add a description of the .journal file, why it
is created, and how e2fsck converts it to an invisible
journal. (Addresses Debian Bug #256760)
2004-09-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* e2initrd_helper.c: New program which allows initrd scripts to
check on the contents of /etc/fstab without (a) needing to
mount the root filesystem, and (b) needing /bin/awk in the
initrd environment. (Addresses Debian Bug #247775)
2004-09-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* tune2fs.8.in: Mention that e2fsck -D might be useful after
setting the dir_index filesystem feature. (Addresses
Debian Bug #268148)
2004-07-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add new option -I which allows the
administrator to install an metadata stored in an e2image
file to a filesystem. Obviously, this can be very
dangerous!
2004-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* Makefile.in (mke2fs.static): Add the blkid library to so
mke2fs.static builds correctly.

were not modified, don't set the superblock dirty bit.
2004-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* Makefile.in: Update the modtime even if subst doesn't need to
update the man pages, to avoid always re-running
subst, especially since there are no dependencies on these
generated files.
2004-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* blkid.c: Remove the partially implemented -p option (it never
did anything, but was documented in the man page and the
usage display).
2004-03-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* blkid.c (main, print_tags): Add new option -o which allows the
user to control the output format of blkid.
* mke2fs.8.in: Fix spelling typos (Addresses Debian Bug #238741)
2004-03-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

(Addresses Debian bug #236383)
2004-03-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* logsave.c (main): Use setsid() to avoid getting killed by init
(run_program): Add a newline after reporting the exit code
or signal when the program exits.

at once from 16 to 64. (Addresses Debian bug #232240)
2004-02-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* filefrag.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
* badblocks.c (pattern_fill): Fix bug accidentally added when
fixing up gcc -Wall nits. badblocks -t random was not
getting handled properly because ~0 needed to be cast to
an unsigned long instead of an unsigned char. (Addresses
Debian bug #234828)
2004-02-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* fsck.c (execute): Use '&&' instead of '&'. (It didn't cause a
problem because we got lucky, but let's do things right.
Fix from Thomas Woerner at Red Hat.)
2004-02-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* filefrag.c: Use #ifdef __linux__ instead of __LINUX__ so that it
actually compiles on Linux. (Addresses Debian bug
#230992)
2004-01-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

processing. (Addresses Debian bug #225188).
2003-12-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* chattr.1.in: Update text indicating the 'c', 's', and 'u'
attributes are not currently supported to remove any
mention of a specific kernel version. (Addresses Debian
bug #214920)
* fsck.8.in: Update text describing "standard" options supported
by filesystem-specific checkers. (Addresses Debian bug
#222606)
2003-12-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* Makefile.in: Add filefrag program to the list of programs
installed in /usr/sbin.
2003-12-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@thunk.org>

2003-09-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* tune2fs.c (parse_e2label_options, parse_tune2fs_options,
do_findfs): Check the returned name from blkid_get_devname and
print an error if the requested LABEL/UUID does not exist.
2003-09-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Use ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc to
determine the locations of the superblock and block group
descriptors.
2003-11-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* util.c (check_plausibility): Support 2.6 kernel header files,
instead of having the build to crash. (Addresses Debian
bug #221778)
2003-09-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (progress_init, progress_update): If the environment
variable MKE2FS_SKIP_PROGRESS is set, then don't print out
a progress bar; for regression test support.
(PRS): If the environment variable MKE2FS_DEVICE_SECTSIZE
is set, then override the device sector size. Again for
regression test support.
(main): If the environment variable MKE2FS_SKIP_CHECK_MSG
is set, then skip printing an information messages about
when the filesystem will be checked, since this number is
random and screws up the regression test expect script.
2003-08-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): Fix bug which caused -T largefile or
-T largefile4 to core dump due to a division by zero
error. (Addressed Debian bug #207082)
2003-08-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* dumpe2fs.8.in, e2image.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
tune2fs.8.in: Adjust description line so that apropos
"ext2" or "ext3" will find the man page. (Addresses
Debian Bug #206845)
2003-08-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Add check to make sure the file
offset of the device is page aligned. (Addresses Debian
Bug #203713)
* badblocks.c (test_ro, test_rw): Add code to recover after an
error so that we continue reading on page-aligned
boundaries. (Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for
the patch.)
2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.34
2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Add warning if using -j and the blocksize is
greater than 4096, since some kernels don't support ext3
with large block sizes. (Addresses Debian bug #193773)
* badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Remove debugging printf. (Addresses
Debian bug #201499)
2003-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* fsck.c (wait_many): Rename wait_all() to wait_many(), and have
new semantics: WAIT_ALL vs. WAIT_ATLEAST_ONE. This fixes
a bug where when fsck is waiting for another partition on
the same spindle, it spins wasting a lot of CPU.
2003-07-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* badblocks.c (do_read, do_write, test_rw): Change the read/write
test to honor the -c option (number of blocks at a time).
do_read and do_write will try to turn on the O_DIRECT flag
if it appears that it is possible to use it. (Addresses
Debian bug #198006)
* mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): If sector_size is 0, don't use it to
set the blocksize to zero. This causes MD devices to fail
since they don't support the BLKSSZGET ioctl. (Addresses
Debian bug #196734)
2003-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (PRS, main): If CONFIG_TESTIO_DEBUG, then use the
testio manager.
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Round down the default filesystem size so that
it is an even multiple of the page size, to work around
buffer cache kernel bug.
* badblocks.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (signed/unsigned type issues)
* blkid.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (missing #include <string.h>)
2003-05-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): If the sector size of the
device is larger than the default block size, then use the
sector size of the device as the default block size.
2003-05-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* badblocks.c: Use an unsigned integer to support 4-byte test
patterns with the high bit set. Let the user explicitly
specify a random pattern with the argument "random".
2003-05-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* badblocks.c (test_rw): Fix minor memory leak with test_rw() is
called for multiple passes.
(test_nd): Fix bug in chosing randomness for the
non-destructive test. We were only using 1 bit of
randomness per byte instead of 8 due to a bit-shift bug.
Also, initialize the random number generator from the time
in main(). Thanks to Thayne Harbaugh for pointing out
these bugs.
* badblocks.c, badblocks.8.in: Functional enhancements contributed
by Thayne Harbaugh. These patches allow the -t option to
control the test pattern(s) used when checking the disk.
Test patterns may be specified in all modes (r/w, r/o and
non-destructive).
2003-05-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* tune2fs.c (main, add_journal_device, remove_journal_device): If
--enable-testio-debug is set, then use the test_io manager
so we can watch what tune2fs is doing.
2003-05-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* uuidgen.c (main): Add setup functions for NLS support.
* e2image.c (write_header), mke2fs.c (PRS): Add missing space in
displayed message.
* badblocks.c (usage), findsuper.c (main), util.c
(parse_journal_opts): Fix typo in usage string.
* tune2fs.c (parse_time): Add portability code to work around lack
of strptime().
* Makefile.in: Add $(LIBINTL) to the link line so we can support
using the internal gettext library.
* nls-enable.h: Add #ifndef protection around LOCALEDIR definition.
2003-04-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.33
2003-04-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* Makefile.in (uuidgen): Avoid linking lsattr and chattr against
libext2fs, and avoid linking blkid against any of the ext2
libraries.
2003-04-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* Makefile.in (fsck): Fsck does not need to linked against the
ext2 libraries anymore.
2003-04-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* fsck.c (main): Put stdout and stderr into non-buffered mode to
avoid cosmetic problems when running fsck under logsave.
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Avoid printing the version banner for mke2fs if
the -q option is specified. (Addresses Debian bug #172716)
* logsave.c: Add support for the -a option (only partially
implemented previously). Always log the command-line and
start and stop time to the log file. Add support for the
-s option, which skips text bracketed between control-A
and control-B characters.
2003-04-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* logsave.c: New program which saves the output of a command in a
log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been
mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in
memory until it can write out the logfile).
2003-04-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (PRS): If the argument to -b is negative, treat it as a
minimum blocksize. (Feature requested by EVMS developers
for mainframe DASD's that do not support 1k blocksizes.)
* mke2fs.8.in: Document the -g option. (Addresses Debian bug #188318)
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug where mke2fs was incorrectly checking
the argument to the -g option, if the default block size
is used. (Addresses Debian bug #188319)
* tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Document the dir_index filesystem
feature which can be used with the -O option.
2003-04-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, interpret_type, fsck_device, ignore,
main): Don't evaluate the filesystem type when loading the
fstab file, since that might cause fsck to hang trying to
read from a floppy disk. (Addresses Debian bug #187812)
Add tmpfs and devpts to filesystems that should be
ignored, and add jfs, reseirfs, and xfs as filesystems
types where we should complain if we can't find the fsck
program for that filesystem type.
2003-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* badblocks.c (bb_output): Flush output to the badblocks
output file as bad blocks are discovered.
2003-03-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* chattr.1.in: Clarified the description of the 't' (no tail)
attribute. (Addresses Debian bug #185945)
2003-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* fsck.c: And #ifdef protection around #include of malloc.h
2003-03-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Include blocks from slow
symbolic links in the raw image file.
2003-03-06 <tytso@mit.edu>
* tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, parse_e2label_options): Allow
the device name to be specified using LABEL=xxx or
UUID=xxx, since we're including the blkid library anyway.
(Addresses Debian bugs #166048, #179671)
* tune2fs.8.in, chattr.1.in: Minor man page fixes (Addresses
Debian bugs #175233, #175113, and #170497)
2003-03-06 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* Makefile.in (DEPLIBS_BLKID): Use DEPLIBUUID, not LIBUUID to
avoid depending on -lsocket on Solaris.
2003-03-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* fsck.c, util.c, tune2fs.c, Makefile.in: Use the blkid library
instead of the specialized functions in
get-device-by-label.c and fstype.c.
* base_device.c (base_device): Take a const char* as an argument.
* blkid.c: Remove deprecated -d option,
2003-02-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* blkid.c: Update to reflect renaming of blkid_get_devname() to
blkid_get_dev(), and blkid_get_token() to
blkid_get_devname().
2003-01-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* badblocks.8.in: Fix grammar nit.
2003-01-26 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* blkid.c (main): Modify blkid to use the new libblkid public
interfaces.
2003-01-23 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* Makefile.in: Integrate in new blkid library.
2003-01-22 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, parse_escape): Add support for
backslash escaping in /etc/fstab. (i.e., so that \040
will work.)
2002-11-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default;
the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not
the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards
compatibility support for dir_indexing removed.
2002-11-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.32
2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

* Release of E2fsprogs 1.30
2002-11-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* chattr.c, chattr.1.in: Add support for a new inode flag, which
is to be used for indicating the top of directory
hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator.
2002-10-31 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Pay attention to
partitions returned in /proc/partitions that begin with
with the string "lvm".
2002-10-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* Makefile.in (install): Search all compression extensions when
deleting old man pages.
* dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix bug in algorithm which determined
which blocks are used as backup superblock and block group
descriptors.
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug which checked the tmp pointer
erreoneously (and needlessly).
2002-10-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
* fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
variable.
2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that
if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it
will still print out the contents of the block group
descriptors.
2002-10-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
* dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), mke2fs.c (PRS), e2image.c
(mark_table_blocks): Add support for the meta_blockgroup
filesystem format.
2002-10-15 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
* tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (update_mntopts, main): Add new option
'o' which allows the system administrator to specify
default mount options.
2002-10-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Use a 16k buffer to
read in /proc/partitions in one go.
* badblocks.c, fsck.c, fstype.c, get_device_by_label.c,
tune2fs.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
2002-10-11 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mklost+found.c (main): Make sure the lost+found directory is
created with 0700 permissions.
2002-10-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Handle a bad block in the
inode table correctly.
2002-09-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* get_device_by_label.c: Applied sourceforge patch #613447, which
adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID=
fstab entries.
* badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which
addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows
badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc.
2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
confusion about what ^has_journal means.
2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
-R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
* tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to
be set. If so, set the default hash to be TEA, and
initialize the hash seed to a random value.
2002-09-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Fix bug which caused
LABEL='xxx' to not work correctly when using LVM.
(Reversed sense of error check reported by ateeq@hotpop.com)
2001-08-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.28
2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* findfs.8.in: New man page.
* tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
* get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
read_partitions().
* mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
Debian Bug #146437)
* fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
* badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive
test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
#131350)
* chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
(Addresses Debian Bug #151990)
* fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page, and clarified text regarding
options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
#145044)
* mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
bug #155007.
2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
* fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
child fsck processes.
2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)
2002-06-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* chattr.c: Applied patch from Andrew to support the dirsync flag.
2002-05-22 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
* mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): make the default inode ratio at most
one inode per block for large blocksizes.
2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
is larger than the system's page size according to the
Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
support this yet).
2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
(From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
* base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
* mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
(From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
* chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
(main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
(main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
* mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
this case.
2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
installing the man pages.
2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
fsck.h.
* Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
non-portable.
2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.26
2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form
"ext3,ext2", etc.
* fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
identifying reiserfs filesystems.
2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
envrionment variable.
* fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs.
2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
opened read-only.
2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
the last checked time on the filesystem.
2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
of the disk.
* mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
* badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
* mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
include search path.)
2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
labels, etc.
2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
by eliminating duplicate code paths.
2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
* e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
* Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
linux/jbd.h
2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
to slim it down the support of the -x option.
2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
#119624)
2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
flag.
* chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
* fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
sure interpet_device() is called so that device
specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
into a real device name.
2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
calls are a good thing. <g>
2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
* mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
* mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
in use.
* tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
zero-filled buffer.
2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
* mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.
2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
* mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
make it a bit more efficient/compact.
2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
* mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
small device (less than 64 blocks).
2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
e2fsprogs programs.
* lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
display, since it only confuses people.
2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
check_uuid.
* get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
* get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
* tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
in the ext2 superblock.
* mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
malloc'd in interpret spec.
2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
#108555.)
* fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
* fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
(main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
(Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
* tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
specified more than once.
2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
text that erroneously implied that all features
(including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
kernels.
2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
should not be present.
* e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
journal device is specified, use it to determine the
blocksize of the new filesystem.
2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
Debian bug #30833).
2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
of the filesystem to determines its type.
* fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.21
2001-06-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external
filesystem journal.
2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
the message which displays how often the filesystem will
be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
after adding a journal to a filesystem.
* mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
Dilger.
* Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
specified to configure.
2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
we're (not) using i386 byte order.
* dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
instead.
* fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.
2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
* fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
instead of _() to initialize static variables.
2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
for description of new -t semantics.
* fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
* fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
page.
2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
* tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
by Andreas Dilger.
2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
* mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
* fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
value depending on if superblock features are set.
2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
* badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
* chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
e2fsprogs package.
2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
* badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
* badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
which is a more accurate description of the variable.
2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* e2image.8.in: New manual page
* badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
* dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
file.
* e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
by ext2fs_open().
2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
the base device, we should assume that the device is
already active in order to force serialization.
2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
more sense to users.
2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
from journal device.
(parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
(it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
(main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
documentation for the extern journal device support.
* mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
message.
2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
filesystem will be checked after it is created.
* util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
number to be treated as a journal size.
* mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
look nicer.
* mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
entire device to get zero'ed.
2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
blocks.
* mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
* util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
(parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
using the absolute size of the journal.
2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
Also handle the case where the default journal size
returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
the filesystem will be checked.
2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
* tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
sparse_super.
* dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
in hex.
* chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
* tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
with the rest of the options out there.)
* tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
from the external journal's filesystem list.
* util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
given a filesystem size.
* util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
small as 1MB.
* dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
* tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
* mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
have been created via separate step.
* dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
information about an external journal device.
2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
* mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
* tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
* tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
stdout after printing in-progress message.
(main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
the mount status of the device.
2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
* e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
* badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
flush the device.
* mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
* Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
(more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
* get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
prototype.
* get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
complaints.
* fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
* badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
* tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
* mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
* mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
* mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
struct ext2_super_block.
* tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
using our own version now).
2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
* fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
the parallel_root option.
* lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
the file attributes.
* lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
* chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
support for the journaled data flag.
* chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
* mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
* mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
(main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
* base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
names.
* fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
instead of core dumping.
2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
* mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
journal creation routines for this purpose.
* mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
* findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
* fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
memory.
* base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
* base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
* fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
#63442)
* fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
#65267)
* tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
group names to uid's before storing them in the
superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
* mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
option=argument style options, and add support for
creating filesystems with external journals.
* mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
* e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
at this point.)
* get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
character labels.
* fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
other devices.
* mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
journal.
2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
* mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
didn't catch.
2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
* fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
systems with four IDE interfaces.
2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
* mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
fails.
* dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
the inode table location in non-hex format.
2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
* get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
we can't find the device using the name given by
/proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
into the kernel, but not mounted.)
2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
* dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
* mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
* mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
zap_sect.
(main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
* get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
* badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
are mutually exclusive.
* badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
block count must be specified if the starting block is to
be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
the long run.)
* badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
variable before going into the write verification loop.
This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
routines anymore.
* badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
format string.
2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
* fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
the progress bar display logic.
* tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
max_mount_count is negative.
* tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
check.
* fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
* badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
* badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
for the -f option.
* badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
device as a default.
2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
* badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
old, overly complicated logic.
(flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
* fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
or LABEL= specification is given.
* mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
(And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
feature for the forseeable future, either.)
* mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
proceed_question that was busted due to the
internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
cleared of the previous question's newline.
Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
* badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
support fdatasync().
2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
* badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
manually define optarg and optind.
* badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
Beattie.
* badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
(test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
* badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
address.
chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
* chattr.1.in:
* lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
* chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
* tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
* chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
#ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
the same flag.
* lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
* badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
* badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
was interrupted at the wrong time.)
* badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
* fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
* mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
* partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
* tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
document the -s option.
2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
* badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
(dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
"I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
other features. The non-destructive write testing,
triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
Finally, the original data is written back.
To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
randomly.
I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
and want the host hard drive to flush.
I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
when you already know the block is bad from a previous
scan).
Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
"-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
"-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
"-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
completely reliable.
Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
"-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
for your information.
In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
which I install which will write back whatever original
disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
(except SIGKILL, of course).
Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
could learn how to update the manpage and other
documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
command-line parameters should be called and which ones
should be in the distribution."
2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
* Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
* tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
option is properly named.
1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>

filesystem option is properly named.
1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
* fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
fsck -As can do so interactively.
1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
* fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
* get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
(set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
gcc warnings.
* fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
the child process.
* chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
* mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
happy.
(PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
* fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
an infinite loop.
1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
* tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
Currently, the only ones which are supported for
modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
* badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
* tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
changing the sparse superblock option
* fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
unhandled SIGUSR1.
1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
* mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
* partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
Dirson.
* mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
kernels.
* mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
flag.
* dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
(header-only).
1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>

superblock option.
1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
through the calculations to determine the parameters of
the filesystem the system would make.
1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
* fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
* badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
* uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
* fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
-A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
the filesystem appears to be mounted.
* get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
UUID=bar type specifications.
1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
* badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
clear out a large block number.
1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
* mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
appears mounted if the force option is given.
1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
* mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
code cleanups.
1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
* uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
generate UUIDs.
1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
fsck pass structure.
(check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
to finish.
1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

switch.
1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
needs to be treated as zero.
1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
* chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
program if the -V option is given.
* chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
through a directory.
1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
/etc/fstab file.
(execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

seperated", instead of common separated)
1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
* mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
things look nice on an 80 character display.
1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage
message.
1998-07-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* Release of E2fsprogs 1.12
1998-07-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

* tune2fs.c (usage):
* lsattr.c (usage):
* dumpe2fs.c (usage):
* badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
* fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
it isn't pretty.)
1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
and exit.
1998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* fsck.c (ignore): Remove check for filesystems with the noauto
option.
1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.
* e2label.c: Fix -Wall warning by making functions static.
1998-03-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may
only be set or cleared by the superuser.
* Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
up-to-date.
* e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
be truncated.
* e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
that the label will be truncated.
* mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning
message. Fixed up -Wall warnings in file.
Sun Mar 8 22:21:48 1998 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* partinfo.c (main): The ioctl BLKGETSIZE requires a long, not an
int.
Sun Feb 1 16:53:36 1998 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* badblocks.8: Update documentation to note that output format
of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or
mke2fs -l.
* mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the
first one).

* tune2fs.c (main):
* lsattr.c (main):
* badblocks.c (main):
* dumpe2fs.c (main):
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
unsigned.
Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
to fix a -Wall warning.

* tune2fs.c (main):
* mklost+found.c (main):
* lsattr.c (main):
* dumpe2fs.c (main):
* chattr.c (main):
* badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
random exit value.)
Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which
provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem
label.

Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
bitmaps.
* mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
compatibility).
Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* Release of E2fsprogs version 1.09

* chattr.c (usage): Added usage message for the 'A' attribute.
Fri Apr 11 18:56:26 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* Release of E2fsprogs version 1.08
Thu Apr 10 07:08:03 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): List the offsets of the inode and block
bitmaps, and the inode table. List the block boundaries
for the groups.
Sat Apr 5 11:55:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
* mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
sparse superblock flag is set.
(PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
blocksize.
Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

set when it is unset.
Tue Jan 14 12:30:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
This caused the inode table to not be correctly
initialized.
Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().

Sat Sep 7 07:34:11 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* tune2fs.c (main): Add support for new option -C, which sets the
current number of mounts.
(main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
mostly for debugging.
Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.
(SPROGS): Use @FSCK_PROG@ instead of fsck.
Thu Aug 22 00:51:44 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (zap_bootblock): Don't do zap_bootblock on a
sparc.
Tue Aug 20 00:15:46 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* tune2fs.8.in:
* tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
* mke2fs.8.in:
* mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
mounted directory.
Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
* chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
and no version number is specified.
Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
* mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
revision.
Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
option turned on.
Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
vs. /dev/hda1)
Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
submitted by Mike Jagdis)
Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
ext2fs_test_bit().
Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
*before* we try to determine the size of the device.
Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
* fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
the same order.
Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
function to determine if the device is mounted.
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
* fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
check.
Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
* badblocks.8:
* chattr.1:
* dumpe2fs.8:
* fsck.8:
* lsattr.1:
* mke2fs.8:
* mklost+found.8:
* tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
* tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
* mke2fs.8:
* tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
* mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(&param), instead of assuming that the
blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
advisable.
* chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
* lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
alloca is not portable!
* fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
user using the -t option, let it override the type in
/etc/fstab.
* fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
* chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
benefit.
* The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
* badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
* badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
* chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
* fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
* mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
(get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
(check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
* fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
(main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
statically sized buffer.
(PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
* chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
* lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
* mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
* badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
(flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
(test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
(test_rw): Ditto.
* Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
support separate compilation directories.
Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
* mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
* badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
very large partition.
* badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
spurious seek errors aren't reported.
* mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
ioctl, which most do.)
* fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
during 0.5b development.)
Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
measure).
Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
* fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
* fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
extract the exit status. In other cases, return
FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
* tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
new options.
Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
* fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
/etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
all partitions should be checked.
Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
* dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
structures.
* mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
the effective uid.
Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
* tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
-r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
* fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
* badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
read-only test.
(do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
* chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
* lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
* mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
(valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
* mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
(alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
statistics if necessary.
