* 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>

* 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>

Dirson.
* mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
kernels.

* 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.

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

* mke2fs.c (PRS): 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.

are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
/etc/fstab file.

filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

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.

* 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.

* mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
and exit.

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.

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).

* 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

Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
* mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
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.

* 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.

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>

* Release of E2fsprogs version 1.05
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>
* Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
libraries.
Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
* Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
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.
