2
3 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
4 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
5 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
6 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
7 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
8 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
9 the filesystem the system would make.
10
111999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
12
13 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
14 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
15 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
16 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
17 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.

Theodore Ts'o9f10a7b1999-07-16 10:41:36 +000020
21 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
22 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
23 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
24
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +0000251999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o5dbb0721999-07-03 06:16:06 +000026
27 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
28 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
29
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +0000301999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o2d8defd1999-07-03 01:59:42 +000031
32 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
33 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
34 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
35 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
36 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
37 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
38
39 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
40 UUID=bar type specifications.
41
Theodore Ts'o00eedba1999-07-03 00:45:58 +0000421999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
43
44 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
45 clear out a large block number.
46
Theodore Ts'oca3c3281999-06-29 14:37:35 +0000471999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
48
49 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
50 appears mounted if the force option is given.
51
Theodore Ts'oe72a9ba1999-06-25 15:40:18 +0000521999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
53
54 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
55 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
56
Theodore Ts'oe2423cc1999-06-18 00:51:31 +0000571999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
58
59 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
60 code cleanups.
61
Theodore Ts'o02e7dd91999-06-18 00:48:41 +0000621999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
63
64 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
65 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
66 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
67 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
68
Theodore Ts'o5d45d801999-03-16 19:35:19 +0000691999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
70
71 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
72 generate UUIDs.
73
741999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
75
76 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
77 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
78
Theodore Ts'o7d5633c1999-02-09 08:14:28 +0000791999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
80
81 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
82 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
83 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
84 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
85
861999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
87
88 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
89 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
90 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
91 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
92 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
93 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
94
Theodore Ts'oee922991999-01-16 05:39:12 +0000951999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
96
97 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
98 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
99 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
100 fsck pass structure.
101 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
102 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
103 to finish.

115
116 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
117 needs to be treated as zero.

148
149 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
150 seperated", instead of common separated)
151
Theodore Ts'o5a679c81998-12-03 16:40:38 +00001521998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

157
158 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
159 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
160 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.

209
210 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
211 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
212 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
213 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
214 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
215
Theodore Ts'oa789d841998-03-30 01:20:55 +00002161998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

232 be truncated.
233
234 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
235 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
236 that the label will be truncated.
237
238 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
239 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
240 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
241
Theodore Ts'obbfa3aa1998-03-21 07:12:46 +00002421998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

255 of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or
256 mke2fs -l.
257
258 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
259 bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the
260 first one).
261
Theodore Ts'oca8abba1998-01-19 14:55:24 +0000262Mon Dec 1 17:01:04 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

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

294 random exit value.)
295
Theodore Ts'oab6b8ab1997-07-14 19:28:55 +0000296Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

329
330 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
331 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
332 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
333 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
334 bitmaps.
335
336 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
337 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.

340
341 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
342 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
343 compatibility).
344
345Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

369 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
370
371 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
372 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
373 sparse superblock flag is set.
374 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
375 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
376 blocksize.
377

387Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
388
389 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error
390 messages when the device doesn't exist.
391
392Sat Mar 1 10:43:32 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
393
394 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug where the PATH environment variable isn't
395 set when it is unset.
396
397Tue Jan 14 12:30:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
398
399 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
400 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
401 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
402 initialized.
403
404Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
405
406 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
407
408 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
409
410Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
411
412 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that
413 they frequently update the block number field.
414
415 * badblocks.8.in: Document the optional start-block parameter
416
417Mon Oct 14 11:52:58 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
418
419 * mke2fs.c: Updated to use new ext2fs_allocate_tables() function.
420
421Tue Oct 8 02:02:03 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
422

426
427 * chattr.1.in: Documented the 'A' (noatime) attribute.
428
429 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Change EXT2_SWAP to EXT2_FLAG_SWAP for
430 consistency's sake.
431
432Sun Sep 22 16:18:47 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
433
434 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Add support for the 'A' (noatime) flag.
435
436Thu Sep 12 15:23:07 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

441
442 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support for new option -C, which sets the
443 current number of mounts.
444 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
445 mostly for debugging.
446
447Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
448
449 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.
450 (SPROGS): Use @FSCK_PROG@ instead of fsck.
451
452Thu Aug 22 00:51:44 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
453
454 * mke2fs.c (zap_bootblock): Don't do zap_bootblock on a
455 sparc.
456
457Tue Aug 20 00:15:46 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
458
459 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
460 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
461
462Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
463
464 * tune2fs.8.in:
465 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
466 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
467 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
468
469 * mke2fs.8.in:
470 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
471 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
472 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
473 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
474 mounted directory.
475
476Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
477
478 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
479 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
480 and no version number is specified.
481
Theodore Ts'o62c06f71997-04-29 14:34:47 +0000482Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
483
484 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
485
486Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
487
488 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
489 libraries.
490
Theodore Ts'o7f88b041997-04-26 14:48:50 +0000491Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
492
493 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
494
495Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
496
497 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
498 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
499
500Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
501
502 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
503
504 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
505 revision.
506
507Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
508
509 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
510 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
511 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
512 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
513 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
514 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
515 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
516 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
517 option turned on.
518
Theodore Ts'o74becf31997-04-26 14:37:06 +0000519Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

521 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
522
523Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
524
525 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
526 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
527 vs. /dev/hda1)
528
529Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
530
531 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
532 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
533 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
534 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
535 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
536
537Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
538
539 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
540 ext2fs_test_bit().
541
Theodore Ts'o297f47a1997-04-26 14:25:20 +0000542Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
543
544 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
545 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
546
Theodore Ts'oa418d3a1997-04-26 14:00:26 +0000547Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
548
549 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
550
551Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
552
553 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
554 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
555 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
556
557Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
558
559 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
560 the same order.
561
562Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
563
564 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
565 function to determine if the device is mounted.
566
567 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
568 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
569 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
570 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
571
572Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
573
574 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
575 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
576 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
577 check.
578
579Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
580
581 * badblocks.8:
582 * chattr.1:
583 * dumpe2fs.8:
584 * fsck.8:
585 * lsattr.1:
586 * mke2fs.8:
587 * mklost+found.8:
588 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
589
590Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
591
592 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
593 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
594 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
595
596 * mke2fs.8:
597 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
598
599Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
600
601 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
602 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(&param), instead of assuming that the
603 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
604
605Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
606
607 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
608 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
609 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
610 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
611 advisable.
612
613 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
614 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
615 alloca is not portable!
616
617 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
618 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
619 /etc/fstab.
620
621 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
622
623Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
624
625 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
626 benefit.
627
628 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
629
630 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
631 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
632
633Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
634
635 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
636 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
637
638Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
639
640 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
641
642 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
643 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
644
645 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
646
647Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
648
649 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
650 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
651 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
652 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
653
654 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
655 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
656 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
657 statically sized buffer.
658 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
659 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
660
661 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
662 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
663 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
664 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
665 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
666
667 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
668 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
669 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
670 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
671 (test_rw): Ditto.
672
673 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
674 support separate compilation directories.
675
Theodore Ts'of3db3561997-04-26 13:34:30 +0000676Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
677
678 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
679 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
680 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
681 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
682
683 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
684 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
685 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
686 very large partition.
687
688 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
689 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
690 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
691
692 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
693 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
694 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
695 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
696 ioctl, which most do.)
697
698 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
699 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
700 during 0.5b development.)
701
702Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
703
704 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
705 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
706 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
707 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
708 measure).
709
710 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
711 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
712 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
713
714Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
715
716 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
717
718 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
719 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
720 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
721
722Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
723
724 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
725 new options.
726 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
727
728Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
729
730 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
731 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
732 all partitions should be checked.
733
734Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
735
736 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
737 structures.
738
739 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
740 the effective uid.
741
742Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
743
744 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
745 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
746
747Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
748
749 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
750
751Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
752
753 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
754 read-only test.
755
756 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
757
758 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
759
760 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
761
762 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
763
764 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
765
766Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
767
768 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
769 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
770 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
771 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
772 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
773
774 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
775 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
776 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
777 statistics if necessary.
