7
8 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
9 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
10 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.

27
28 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
29 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
30 fsck -As can do so interactively.
31
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +0000321999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
33

35
361999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
37
Theodore Ts'o3bc03661999-10-26 17:17:00 +000038 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
39 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
40 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
41
Theodore Ts'o36b01301999-10-26 14:38:36 +000042 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
43 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
44 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
45 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
46
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +000047 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
Theodore Ts'o9094f281999-10-26 16:42:50 +000048 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
49 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
50 gcc warnings.
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +000051
Theodore Ts'ob5135711999-10-26 14:33:24 +000052 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
53 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
54 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
55 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
56 the child process.
57
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +000058 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
59 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
60
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +0000611999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
62
63 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
64 happy.
Theodore Ts'oe6597041999-10-26 02:30:16 +000065 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
66 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
67 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +000068
69 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
70 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
71 an infinite loop.
72
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +0000731999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
74
Theodore Ts'o614fdfd1999-10-23 03:19:51 +000075 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
76
771999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
78
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +000079 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
80 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
81 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
82 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
83
84 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
85 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
86 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
87 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
88
Theodore Ts'ocaf8ce41999-10-21 19:56:34 +0000891999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
90
91 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
92 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
93 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
94 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
95 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
96
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +0000971999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
98
Theodore Ts'o671cbfa1999-10-20 18:14:23 +000099 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
100 changing the sparse superblock option
101
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +0000102 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
103 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
104 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
105 unhandled SIGUSR1.
106
1071999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o76714331999-10-20 18:06:29 +0000108
109 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
110 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
111
Theodore Ts'o27401561999-09-14 20:11:19 +00001121999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
113
114 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
115 Dirson.
116
117 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
118 kernels.
119
120 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
121 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
122 flag.
123
124 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
125 (header-only).
126
1271999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
128
129 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
130 superblock option.
131
1321999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o657cb971999-07-30 23:19:10 +0000133
134 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
135
Theodore Ts'o50787ea1999-07-19 15:30:21 +00001361999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
137
138 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
139 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
140 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
141 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
142 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
143 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
144 the filesystem the system would make.
145
1461999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
147
148 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
149 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
150 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
151 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
152 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
153
1541999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o9f10a7b1999-07-16 10:41:36 +0000155
156 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
157 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
158 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
159
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +00001601999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o5dbb0721999-07-03 06:16:06 +0000161
162 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
163 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
164
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +00001651999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o2d8defd1999-07-03 01:59:42 +0000166
167 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
168 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
169 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
170 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
171 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
172 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
173
174 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
175 UUID=bar type specifications.
176
Theodore Ts'o00eedba1999-07-03 00:45:58 +00001771999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
178
179 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
180 clear out a large block number.
181
Theodore Ts'oca3c3281999-06-29 14:37:35 +00001821999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
183
184 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
185 appears mounted if the force option is given.
186
Theodore Ts'oe72a9ba1999-06-25 15:40:18 +00001871999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
188
189 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
190 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
191
Theodore Ts'oe2423cc1999-06-18 00:51:31 +00001921999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
193
194 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
195 code cleanups.
196
Theodore Ts'o02e7dd91999-06-18 00:48:41 +00001971999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
198
199 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
200 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
201 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
202 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
203
Theodore Ts'o5d45d801999-03-16 19:35:19 +00002041999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
205
206 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
207 generate UUIDs.
208
2091999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
210
211 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
212 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
213
Theodore Ts'o7d5633c1999-02-09 08:14:28 +00002141999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
215
216 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
217 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
218 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
219 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
220
2211999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
222
223 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
224 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
225 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
226 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
227 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
228 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
229
Theodore Ts'oee922991999-01-16 05:39:12 +00002301999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
231
232 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
233 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
234 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
235 fsck pass structure.
236 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
237 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
238 to finish.
239
Theodore Ts'o7953f611999-01-09 05:03:52 +00002401999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
241
Theodore Ts'o9e51eca1999-01-09 16:32:31 +0000242 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
243
2441999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
245
Theodore Ts'o7953f611999-01-09 05:03:52 +0000246 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
247 switch.
248
Theodore Ts'o665f7101999-01-08 13:33:39 +00002491999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
250
251 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
252 needs to be treated as zero.
253
Theodore Ts'oa88fa0c1999-01-05 07:02:39 +00002541999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

257 inodes he/she wishes.
258
Theodore Ts'oa88fa0c1999-01-05 07:02:39 +0000259 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
260 program if the -V option is given.
261
262 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
263 through a directory.
264
Theodore Ts'o93ab9d71999-01-02 04:04:42 +00002651999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
266
267 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
268 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
269 /etc/fstab file.
270 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
271 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
272
2731998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
274
275 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
276 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
277
Theodore Ts'o556ad131998-12-19 08:10:58 +00002781998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
279
280 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
281
Theodore Ts'ocb620171998-12-08 02:21:29 +00002821998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
283
284 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
285 seperated", instead of common separated)
286
Theodore Ts'o5a679c81998-12-03 16:40:38 +00002871998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
288
289 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
290
2911998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
292
293 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
294 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
295 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
296
Theodore Ts'o1dde43f1998-11-14 04:18:28 +00002971998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
298
299 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
300
301 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
302 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
303 things look nice on an 80 character display.
304
3051998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
306
307 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage
308 message.

315
316 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
317 being written by e2fsprogs.
318
Theodore Ts'o818180c1998-06-27 05:11:14 +00003191998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

326 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
327 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
328
329 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
330 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
331 it isn't pretty.)
332
3331998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
334
335 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
336 and exit.
337
Theodore Ts'o4bf5fbf1998-05-14 22:43:10 +00003381998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
339
340 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove check for filesystems with the noauto
341 option.
342
Theodore Ts'o7e44f241998-04-01 03:16:29 +00003431998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
344
345 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
346 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
347 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
348 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
349 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
350
Theodore Ts'oa789d841998-03-30 01:20:55 +00003511998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
352
Theodore Ts'o3b27db91998-03-30 01:32:10 +0000353 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.
354
Theodore Ts'oa789d841998-03-30 01:20:55 +0000355 * e2label.c: Fix -Wall warning by making functions static.
356
3571998-03-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
358
359 * chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may
360 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
361
362 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
363 up-to-date.
364
365 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
366 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
367 be truncated.
368
369 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
370 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
371 that the label will be truncated.
372
373 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
374 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a

426 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
427 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some

464
465 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
466 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which

468 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
469 bitmaps.
470
471 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
472 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.

485
486 * chattr.1.in: Updated man page so that the 'A' attribute is
487 specified everywhere.
488
489 * chattr.c (usage): Added usage message for the 'A' attribute.

504 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
505
506 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
507 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
508 sparse superblock flag is set.
509 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
510 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
511 blocksize.
512
Theodore Ts'o19c78dc1997-04-29 16:17:09 +0000513Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

533
534 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
535 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
536 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
537 initialized.
538
539Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
540
541 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
542
543 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
544
545Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
546

576
577 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support for new option -C, which sets the
578 current number of mounts.

580 mostly for debugging.
581
582Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
583

598
599 * tune2fs.8.in:
600 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume

604 * mke2fs.8.in:
605 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
606 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
607 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
608 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
609 mounted directory.
610
611Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
612
613 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to

623 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
624 libraries.
625
Theodore Ts'o7f88b041997-04-26 14:48:50 +0000626Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

643
644 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
645 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
646 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
647 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
648 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
649 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
650 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
651 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
652 option turned on.
653
Theodore Ts'o74becf31997-04-26 14:37:06 +0000654Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

662 vs. /dev/hda1)
663
664Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
665
666 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
667 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
668 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
669 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
670 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
671
672Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
673

678
679 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a

684 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
685
686Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
687
688 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
689 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
690 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
691
692Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
693
694 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in

697Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
698
699 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
700 function to determine if the device is mounted.
701
702 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
703 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
704 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
705 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
706
707Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
708
709 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
710 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
711 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
712 check.
713
714Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
715
716 * badblocks.8:

738 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
739
740Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
741
742 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
743 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
744 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
745 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
746 advisable.
747
748 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
749 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
750 alloca is not portable!
751
752 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
753 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
754 /etc/fstab.
755
756 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
757
758Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
759
760 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
761 benefit.

763 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
764
765 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
766 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.

773Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
774
775 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
776
777 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
778 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
779
780 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
781
782Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
783
784 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
785 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
786 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
787 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
788
789 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
790 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
791 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
792 statically sized buffer.
793 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
794 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
795
796 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
797 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
798 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
799 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
800 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
801
802 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
803 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
804 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
805 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
806 (test_rw): Ditto.
807
808 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
809 support separate compilation directories.

812
813 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
814 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
815 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
816 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
817
818 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
819 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
820 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
821 very large partition.
822
823 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
824 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
825 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
826
827 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
828 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
829 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
830 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
831 ioctl, which most do.)
832
833 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
834 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
835 during 0.5b development.)
836
837Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
838
839 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
840 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
841 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
842 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
843 measure).
844
845 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
846 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
847 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
848
849Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
850
851 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
852
853 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
854 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
855 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
856
857Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
858
859 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
860 new options.
861 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
862
863Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
864
865 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
866 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
867 all partitions should be checked.
868
869Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
870
871 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
872 structures.
873
874 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
875 the effective uid.
876
877Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
878
879 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
880 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
881
882Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
883
884 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
885
886Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
887
888 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
889 read-only test.
890
891 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
892
893 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
894
895 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
896
897 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
898
899 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
900
901Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
902
903 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
904 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
905 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
906 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
907 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
908
909 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
910 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
911 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
912 statistics if necessary.
