2
3 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
4 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
5 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
6
7 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
8 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
9 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
10 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
11 have been created via separate step.
12
13 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
14 information about an external journal device.
15
Theodore Ts'o4055ef72001-01-14 16:11:14 +0000162001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
17
Theodore Ts'o44c09c02001-01-14 17:02:09 +000018 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
19 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
20 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
21 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
22 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
23 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
24 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
25 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
26
Theodore Ts'o08dd8302001-01-14 16:25:58 +000027 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
28
Theodore Ts'o4055ef72001-01-14 16:11:14 +000029 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
30 stdout after printing in-progress message.
31 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
32 the mount status of the device.
33
Theodore Ts'odfcdc322001-01-11 15:38:00 +0000342001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
35
Theodore Ts'oc8c071a2001-01-11 16:08:23 +000036 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
37 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
38 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
39 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
40 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
41
Theodore Ts'o4d404542001-01-11 16:04:59 +000042 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
43 flush the device.
44
Theodore Ts'odfcdc322001-01-11 15:38:00 +000045 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
46
Theodore Ts'o83238152001-01-09 00:16:26 +0000472001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
48
49 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
50 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
51 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
52
Theodore Ts'o8820c792001-01-06 04:20:03 +0000532001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
54
55 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
56 prototype.
57
58 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
59 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
60 complaints.
61
62 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
63
64 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
65 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
66
Theodore Ts'o63985322001-01-03 17:02:13 +0000672001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
68
69 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
70 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
71 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
72 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
73
74 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
75 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
76 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
77
78 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
79 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
80
Theodore Ts'ob21e38a2001-01-01 15:26:58 +0000812001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
82
Theodore Ts'oef9abe52001-01-01 15:31:53 +000083 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
84 struct ext2_super_block.
85
Theodore Ts'ob21e38a2001-01-01 15:26:58 +000086 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
87 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
88 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
Theodore Ts'oef9abe52001-01-01 15:31:53 +000089 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
90 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
91 using our own version now).
Theodore Ts'ob21e38a2001-01-01 15:26:58 +000092
Theodore Ts'o9a718842000-12-31 13:48:12 +0000932000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
94
Theodore Ts'od4cf2fc2000-12-31 14:09:38 +000095 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
96 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
97 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
98 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
99 the parallel_root option.
100
Theodore Ts'of10748d2000-12-31 13:55:14 +0000101 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
102 the file attributes.
103
104 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
105 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
106
Theodore Ts'o9a718842000-12-31 13:48:12 +0000107 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
108 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
109 support for the journaled data flag.
110
111 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
112
Theodore Ts'o16ad3332000-12-31 03:21:56 +00001132000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
114
115 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
116
117 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
118 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
119
Theodore Ts'ob9fd8c12000-12-29 03:10:45 +00001202000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
121
122 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
123 names.
124
125 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
126 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
127 instead of core dumping.
128
Theodore Ts'o74a74d22000-12-09 14:33:29 +00001292000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
130
Theodore Ts'od48755e2000-12-09 14:36:04 +0000131 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
132 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
133 journal creation routines for this purpose.
134
135 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
136 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
137
Theodore Ts'o74a74d22000-12-09 14:33:29 +0000138 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
139 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
140
Theodore Ts'o793e27d2000-12-03 06:33:56 +00001412000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
142
143 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
144 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
145 memory.
146
147 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
148 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
149
150 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
151
Theodore Ts'oe1c6b2f2000-12-02 06:19:33 +00001522000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
153
Theodore Ts'o2d091792000-12-02 07:03:32 +0000154 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
155 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
156 #63442)
157
Theodore Ts'oe9f9dd82000-12-02 06:35:07 +0000158 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
159 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
160 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
161 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
162 #65267)
163
Theodore Ts'oe1c6b2f2000-12-02 06:19:33 +0000164 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
165 group names to uid's before storing them in the
166 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
167
Theodore Ts'o8ddaa662000-11-17 04:55:24 +00001682000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
169
170 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
171 option=argument style options, and add support for
172 creating filesystems with external journals.
173
174 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
175
Theodore Ts'o72ed1262000-11-12 19:32:20 +00001762000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
177
178 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
179 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
180
Theodore Ts'o85ef4ae2000-10-24 19:33:45 +00001812000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
182
Theodore Ts'of6f65832000-10-25 03:01:37 +0000183 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
184 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
185 at this point.)
186
Theodore Ts'o0056be12000-10-25 02:24:33 +0000187 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
188 character labels.
189
Theodore Ts'o43819662000-10-25 02:06:09 +0000190 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
191 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
192 other devices.
193
Theodore Ts'o85ef4ae2000-10-24 19:33:45 +0000194 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
195 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
196 journal.
197
Theodore Ts'oe294cf22000-10-24 18:41:44 +00001982000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
199
200 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
201 didn't catch.
202
Theodore Ts'o3f1e9a52000-09-12 21:21:52 +00002032000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
204
205 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
206 systems with four IDE interfaces.
207
Theodore Ts'od7e39b02000-09-11 17:01:35 +00002082000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
209
210 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
211 fails.
212
213 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
214 the inode table location in non-hex format.
215
Theodore Ts'o556ccbd2000-08-20 19:11:05 +00002162000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
217
218 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
219 we can't find the device using the name given by
220 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
221 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
222
Theodore Ts'o80c22c92000-08-14 15:32:11 +00002232000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
224
225 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
226 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
227 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
228
229 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
230
Theodore Ts'oe41784e2000-08-14 14:44:15 +00002312000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
232
233 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
234 zap_sect.
235 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
236 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
237
Theodore Ts'o28412de2000-07-27 02:45:55 +00002382000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
239
240 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
241 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
242
Theodore Ts'of9e67062000-07-13 23:25:54 +00002432000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
244
245 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
246
Theodore Ts'oa551b782000-07-13 22:05:31 +00002472000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
248
249 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
250 are mutually exclusive.
251
252 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
253 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
254 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
255 the long run.)
256
257 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
258 variable before going into the write verification loop.
259 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
260 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
261 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
262 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
263 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
264 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
265 routines anymore.
266
267 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
268 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
269 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
270 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
271 format string.
272
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +00002732000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
274
Theodore Ts'o19c68912000-07-07 03:25:13 +0000275 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
276 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
277 the progress bar display logic.
278
Theodore Ts'o45d9e2f2000-07-07 03:12:54 +0000279 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
280 max_mount_count is negative.
281
282 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
283 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
284 check.
285
Theodore Ts'o5b1519b2000-07-06 14:16:08 +0000286 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
287 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
288 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
289 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
290 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
291 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
292
Theodore Ts'o981dc562000-07-06 14:13:29 +0000293 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
294 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
295 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
296
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +0000297 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
298 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
Theodore Ts'o981dc562000-07-06 14:13:29 +0000299 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
300 for the -f option.
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +0000301
302 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
303 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
304 device as a default.
305
Theodore Ts'od49a22b2000-07-06 00:31:27 +00003062000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
307
308 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
309 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
310 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
311 old, overly complicated logic.
312 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
313 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
314 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
315
Theodore Ts'o26ab5312000-05-29 15:05:42 +00003162000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
317
318 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
319 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
320 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
321 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
322
Theodore Ts'o4ea0a112000-05-08 13:33:17 +00003232000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
324
Theodore Ts'oc96e5112000-05-08 14:47:15 +0000325 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
326 or LABEL= specification is given.
327
Theodore Ts'o4ea0a112000-05-08 13:33:17 +0000328 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
329 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
330 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
331 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
332 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
333 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
334
335 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
336 proceed_question that was busted due to the
337 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
338 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
339 cleared of the previous question's newline.
340
Theodore Ts'oe2207ce2000-04-06 21:51:18 +0000341Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
342
343 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
344 support fdatasync().
345
Theodore Ts'offe4cab2000-04-03 13:27:41 +00003462000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
347
Theodore Ts'o373b8332000-04-03 16:22:35 +0000348 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
349 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
350 manually define optarg and optind.
351
Theodore Ts'o4d003982000-04-03 16:01:11 +0000352 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
353 Beattie.
354
355 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
356 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
357 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
358 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
359
Theodore Ts'offe4cab2000-04-03 13:27:41 +0000360 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
361 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
362 address.
363 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
364
Theodore Ts'oe1a0a3e2000-02-11 05:00:19 +00003652000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
366
367 * chattr.1.in:
368 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
369
370 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
371
372 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
373
374 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
375 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
376
377 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
378 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
379 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
380 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
381 the same flag.
382
383 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
384 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
385 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.

Theodore Ts'od9c56d32000-02-08 00:47:55 +0000389 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
390 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
391 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
392 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
393 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
394
Theodore Ts'odd018f52000-02-06 23:57:07 +0000395 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
396 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
397 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
398 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
399 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
400 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
401
402 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
403

405
406 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
407 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
408 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
409 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
410 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
411
412 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
413 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
414
415 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h

423
424 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
425 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
426 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
427 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
428
429 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
430 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
431 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
432 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
433 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
434 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
435 Finally, the original data is written back.
436
437 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
438 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
439 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
440 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
441 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
442 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
443 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
444 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
445 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
446 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
447 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
448 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
449 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
450 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
451 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
452
453 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
454 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
455 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
456 randomly.
457
458 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
459 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
460
461 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
462 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
463 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
464 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
465 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
466 and want the host hard drive to flush.
467
468 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
469 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
470 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
471 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
472 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
473 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
474 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
475 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
476 scan).
477
478 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
479 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
480 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
481 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
482 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
483 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
484 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
485 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
486 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
487 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
488 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
489 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
490 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
491 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
492 completely reliable.
493
494 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
495 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
496 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
497 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
498 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
499 for your information.
500
501 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
502 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
503 which I install which will write back whatever original
504 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
505 (except SIGKILL, of course).
506
507 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
508 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
509 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
510 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
511 could learn how to update the manpage and other
512 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
513 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
514 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
515 should be in the distribution."

518
519 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
520 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
521 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
522
Theodore Ts'obfd21931999-11-23 13:48:58 +00005231999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>

529
530 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
531 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
532 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
533

549
550 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
551 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
552 fsck -As can do so interactively.
553
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +00005541999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>

559
Theodore Ts'o3bc03661999-10-26 17:17:00 +0000560 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
561 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
562 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
563
Theodore Ts'o36b01301999-10-26 14:38:36 +0000564 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
565 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
566 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
567 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
568
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +0000569 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
Theodore Ts'o9094f281999-10-26 16:42:50 +0000570 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
571 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
572 gcc warnings.
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +0000573
Theodore Ts'ob5135711999-10-26 14:33:24 +0000574 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
575 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
576 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
577 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
578 the child process.
579
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +0000580 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
581 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
582
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +00005831999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
584
585 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
586 happy.
Theodore Ts'oe6597041999-10-26 02:30:16 +0000587 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
588 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
589 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +0000590
591 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
592 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
593 an infinite loop.
594

600
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +0000601 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
602 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
603 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
604 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
605
606 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
607 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
608 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
609 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
610

614 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
615 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
616 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
617 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
618
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +00006191999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
620
Theodore Ts'o671cbfa1999-10-20 18:14:23 +0000621 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
622 changing the sparse superblock option
623
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +0000624 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
625 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
626 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
627 unhandled SIGUSR1.
628

Theodore Ts'o76714331999-10-20 18:06:29 +0000630
631 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
632 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
633
Theodore Ts'o27401561999-09-14 20:11:19 +00006341999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
635
636 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
637 Dirson.
638
639 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
640 kernels.
641
642 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
643 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
644 flag.
645
646 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
647 (header-only).
648
6491999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
650
651 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
652 superblock option.
653
6541999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o657cb971999-07-30 23:19:10 +0000655
656 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
657
Theodore Ts'o50787ea1999-07-19 15:30:21 +00006581999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
659
660 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
661 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
662 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
663 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
664 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
665 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
666 the filesystem the system would make.
667
6681999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
669
670 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
671 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
672 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
673 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
674 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
675

Theodore Ts'o9f10a7b1999-07-16 10:41:36 +0000677
678 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
679 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
680 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
681
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +00006821999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o5dbb0721999-07-03 06:16:06 +0000683
684 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
685 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
686
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +00006871999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o2d8defd1999-07-03 01:59:42 +0000688
689 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
690 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
691 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
692 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
693 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
694 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
695
696 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
697 UUID=bar type specifications.
698
Theodore Ts'o00eedba1999-07-03 00:45:58 +00006991999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>

701 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
702 clear out a large block number.
703
Theodore Ts'oca3c3281999-06-29 14:37:35 +00007041999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
705
706 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
707 appears mounted if the force option is given.
708

711 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
712 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
713
Theodore Ts'oe2423cc1999-06-18 00:51:31 +00007141999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
715
716 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
717 code cleanups.

Theodore Ts'o02e7dd91999-06-18 00:48:41 +00007191999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
720
721 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
722 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
723 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
724 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
725
Theodore Ts'o5d45d801999-03-16 19:35:19 +00007261999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
727
728 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
729 generate UUIDs.
730
7311999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
732
733 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
734 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
735
Theodore Ts'o7d5633c1999-02-09 08:14:28 +00007361999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
737
738 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
739 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
740 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
741 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
742
7431999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
744
745 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
746 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
747 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
748 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
749 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
750 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.

753
754 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
755 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
756 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
757 fsck pass structure.
758 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
759 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
760 to finish.

Theodore Ts'o7f88b041997-04-26 14:48:50 +00001148Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1149
1150 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1151
1152Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1153
1154 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1155 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1156
1157Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1158
1159 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1160
1161 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1162 revision.
1163
1164Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1165
1166 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1167 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1168 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1169 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1170 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1171 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1172 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1173 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1174 option turned on.
1175
Theodore Ts'o74becf31997-04-26 14:37:06 +00001176Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1177
1178 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1179
1180Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1181
1182 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1183 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1184 vs. /dev/hda1)
1185
1186Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1187
1188 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1189 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1190 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1191 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1192 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1193
1194Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1195
1196 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1197 ext2fs_test_bit().
1198
Theodore Ts'o297f47a1997-04-26 14:25:20 +00001199Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1200
1201 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1202 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1203
Theodore Ts'oa418d3a1997-04-26 14:00:26 +00001204Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1205
1206 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1207
1208Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1209
1210 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1211 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1212 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1213
1214Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1215
1216 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1217 the same order.
1218
1219Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1220
1221 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1222 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1223
1224 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1225 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1226 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1227 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1228
1229Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1230
1231 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1232 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1233 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1234 check.
1235
1236Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1237
1238 * badblocks.8:
1239 * chattr.1:
1240 * dumpe2fs.8:
1241 * fsck.8:
1242 * lsattr.1:
1243 * mke2fs.8:
1244 * mklost+found.8:
1245 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1246
1247Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1248
1249 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1250 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1251 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1252
1253 * mke2fs.8:
1254 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1255
1256Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1257
1258 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1259 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(&param), instead of assuming that the
1260 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1261
1262Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1263
1264 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1265 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1266 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1267 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1268 advisable.
1269
1270 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1271 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1272 alloca is not portable!
1273
1274 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1275 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1276 /etc/fstab.
1277
1278 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1279
1280Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1281
1282 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1283 benefit.
1284
1285 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1286
1287 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1288 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1289
1290Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1291
1292 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1293 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1294
1295Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1296
1297 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1298
1299 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1300 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1301
1302 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1303
1304Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1305
1306 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1307 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1308 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1309 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1310
1311 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1312 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1313 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1314 statically sized buffer.
1315 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1316 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1317
1318 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1319 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1320 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1321 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1322 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1323
1324 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1325 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1326 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1327 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1328 (test_rw): Ditto.
1329
1330 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1331 support separate compilation directories.
1332
Theodore Ts'of3db3561997-04-26 13:34:30 +00001333Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1334
1335 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1336 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1337 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1338 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1339
1340 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1341 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1342 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1343 very large partition.
1344
1345 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1346 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1347 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1348
1349 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1350 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1351 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1352 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1353 ioctl, which most do.)
1354
1355 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1356 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1357 during 0.5b development.)
1358
1359Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1360
1361 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1362 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1363 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1364 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1365 measure).
1366
1367 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1368 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1369 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1370
1371Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1372
1373 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1374
1375 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1376 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1377 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
1378
1379Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1380
1381 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
1382 new options.
1383 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
1384
1385Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1386
1387 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1388 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1389 all partitions should be checked.
1390
1391Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1392
1393 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1394 structures.
1395
1396 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1397 the effective uid.
1398
1399Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1400
1401 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1402 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
1403
1404Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1405
1406 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1407
1408Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1409
1410 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1411 read-only test.
1412
1413 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1414
1415 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1416
1417 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1418
1419 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1420
1421 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
1422
1423Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1424
1425 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1426 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1427 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1428 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1429 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1430
1431 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1432 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1433 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1434 statistics if necessary.
