7
8 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
9 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
10 to slim it down the support of the -x option.

25 flag.
26
27 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
28
Theodore Ts'o6430bd62001-11-05 18:58:46 -050029 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
30 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
31 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
32 into a real device name.
33
Theodore Ts'oe3ef3502001-11-05 18:57:43 -0500342001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
35
36 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess

51
Theodore Ts'of6a6afc2001-09-19 18:27:39 -040052 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
53 in use.
54
Theodore Ts'o39567c42001-09-19 15:28:21 -040055 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
56 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
57
Theodore Ts'o3f85f652001-09-17 10:38:06 -0400582001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
59
60 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
61 zero-filled buffer.
62
Theodore Ts'ofb707752001-09-04 15:00:37 -0400632001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>

Theodore Ts'o177a9ac2001-08-30 18:07:40 -0400752001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
76
77 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
78
Theodore Ts'o04a96852001-08-30 21:55:26 -040079 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
80 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
81 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
82
Andreas Dilger59f27242001-08-30 15:39:04 -0600832001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
84
85 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
86 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
87 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
88 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
89 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
90 small device (less than 64 blocks).
91
Theodore Ts'o0f8973f2001-08-27 12:44:23 -0400922001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
93
Andreas Dilger59f27242001-08-30 15:39:04 -060094 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
Theodore Ts'o0f8973f2001-08-27 12:44:23 -040095 e2fsprogs programs.
96
97 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
98 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
99 display, since it only confuses people.
100
Theodore Ts'oe843c762001-08-18 14:22:25 -04001012001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
102
103 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
104 check_uuid.
105
106 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
107 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
108 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
109
Andreas Dilger2d155762001-08-17 03:48:11 -06001102001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
111
112 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
113 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
114 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
115 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
116
117 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
118 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
119 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
120 in the ext2 superblock.
121
122 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
123 malloc'd in interpret spec.
124

130
Theodore Ts'o7141b542001-08-15 19:17:37 -0400131 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
132 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
133 #108555.)
134
Theodore Ts'o1d349cc2001-08-15 19:06:55 -0400135 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
136
Theodore Ts'o88f8af62001-08-15 18:39:51 -0400137 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
Theodore Ts'o685c13f2001-08-15 19:04:59 -0400138 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
139 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
140 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
Theodore Ts'o88f8af62001-08-15 18:39:51 -0400141
Theodore Ts'of3561ed2001-08-15 11:58:16 -0400142 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
143 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
144 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
145
Theodore Ts'od2586682001-08-15 11:03:58 -0400146 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
147 specified more than once.
148
Theodore Ts'o085b02c2001-08-10 19:13:11 -04001492001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
150
151 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
152 text that erroneously implied that all features
153 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
154 kernels.
155
Theodore Ts'o6304baf2001-08-09 05:41:29 -04001562001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
157
Theodore Ts'oe8a447d2001-08-09 06:13:18 -0400158 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
159 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
160 should not be present.
161
Theodore Ts'o6304baf2001-08-09 05:41:29 -0400162 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
163
Theodore Ts'o8c97b0b2001-08-04 21:14:45 -04001642001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
165
166 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
167 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
168
Theodore Ts'o194686b2001-07-31 12:03:23 -04001692001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
170
171 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
172 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
173 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
174 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
175
Theodore Ts'ode49f012001-07-30 16:31:30 -04001762001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

182
183 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
184 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
185 blocksize of the new filesystem.
186
Theodore Ts'o9b61b8c2001-07-20 14:25:23 -04001872001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
188

Theodore Ts'oda376f52001-07-19 20:38:53 -04001932001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
194
195 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
196 of the filesystem to determines its type.
197
198 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
199 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".

215
Theodore Ts'o66cf2f62001-06-14 06:42:44 +0000216 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
217 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
218 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
219 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
220 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
221
222 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
223 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
224 Dilger.
225
Theodore Ts'ocdf186e2001-06-13 22:16:47 +0000226 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is

Theodore Ts'ocbbf0312001-06-13 00:12:04 +0000231 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
232 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
233
234 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
235 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
236 instead.
237
Theodore Ts'o28cf9042001-06-12 22:35:00 +0000238 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
239 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
Theodore Ts'o83d5abf2001-06-13 23:31:27 +0000240 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)

Theodore Ts'ob7056402001-06-08 02:53:20 +00002422001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
243
244 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
245 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size

262
Theodore Ts'oa9bc79a2001-05-23 22:29:22 +0000263 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
264 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
265 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
266
Theodore Ts'oc7a24e42001-05-23 22:26:39 +0000267 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()

Theodore Ts'ocd130a02001-05-05 05:43:23 +0000332 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
333 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
334 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
335
336 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
337 which is a more accurate description of the variable.

340
Theodore Ts'o348e43d2001-05-03 14:43:43 +0000341 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
342
343 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
344 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
345 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
346
347 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
348 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
349 file.
350
Theodore Ts'o095b4592001-05-03 13:33:11 +0000351 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
352 by ext2fs_open().
353
Theodore Ts'o45d70862001-05-01 15:44:37 +00003542001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
355
356 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
357 the base device, we should assume that the device is
358 already active in order to force serialization.
359
Theodore Ts'oce57f142001-04-26 04:25:39 +00003602001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
361
362 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
363 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
364 more sense to users.
365
Theodore Ts'o4d0f2282001-04-23 20:58:03 +00003662001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
367
368 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
369 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
370 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
371 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
372 from journal device.
373 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
374 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
375 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
376
Theodore Ts'ob10fd5e2001-04-22 03:47:23 +00003772001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
378
Theodore Ts'o48015ce2001-04-22 03:58:32 +0000379 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
380 documentation for the extern journal device support.
381
Theodore Ts'ob10fd5e2001-04-22 03:47:23 +0000382 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
383 message.
384
Theodore Ts'o1d08d9b2001-04-17 01:01:49 +00003852001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
386
Theodore Ts'o2103ea72001-04-21 20:53:43 +0000387 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
388 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
389
Theodore Ts'od6a27e02001-04-17 02:34:41 +0000390 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
391 number to be treated as a journal size.
392
Theodore Ts'o1d08d9b2001-04-17 01:01:49 +0000393 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
394 look nicer.
395
Theodore Ts'od6a27e02001-04-17 02:34:41 +0000396 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
397 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
398 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
399 entire device to get zero'ed.
400
Theodore Ts'o2537b6d2001-03-26 20:07:13 +00004012001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
402
403 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
Theodore Ts'o8d641742001-05-14 04:12:27 +0000404 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
Theodore Ts'o2537b6d2001-03-26 20:07:13 +0000405 blocks.
406
407 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
408
409 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
410 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
411 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
412 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
413 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
414 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
415 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
416 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
417 using the absolute size of the journal.
418
Theodore Ts'o93345d12001-02-17 06:09:50 +00004192001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
420
421 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
422 Also handle the case where the default journal size
423 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
424 the filesystem will be checked.
425
Theodore Ts'oc5423c52001-02-08 05:45:17 +00004262001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
427
428 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
429
Theodore Ts'offf18b42001-02-08 03:06:43 +00004302001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
431
Theodore Ts'obe4244b2001-02-08 03:28:18 +0000432 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
433 sparse_super.
434
Theodore Ts'o8b164f92001-02-08 03:24:18 +0000435 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
436 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
437 in hex.
438
Theodore Ts'offf18b42001-02-08 03:06:43 +0000439 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
440 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
441
Theodore Ts'o02088862001-01-18 01:44:19 +00004422001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
443
Theodore Ts'odc2ec522001-01-18 01:51:15 +0000444 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
445 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
446 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
447 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
448 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
449 with the rest of the options out there.)
450
451 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
452 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
453 from the external journal's filesystem list.
454
Theodore Ts'o5683e6e2001-01-18 01:47:48 +0000455 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
456 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
457 given a filesystem size.
458
459 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
460 small as 1MB.
461
Theodore Ts'o02088862001-01-18 01:44:19 +0000462 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
463 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
464
Theodore Ts'o16ed5b32001-01-16 07:47:31 +00004652001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
466
467 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
468 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
469 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
470
471 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
472 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
473 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
474 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
475 have been created via separate step.
476
477 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
478 information about an external journal device.
479
Theodore Ts'o4055ef72001-01-14 16:11:14 +00004802001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
481
Theodore Ts'o44c09c02001-01-14 17:02:09 +0000482 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
483 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
484 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
485 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
486 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
487 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
488 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
489 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
490
Theodore Ts'o08dd8302001-01-14 16:25:58 +0000491 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
492
Theodore Ts'o4055ef72001-01-14 16:11:14 +0000493 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
494 stdout after printing in-progress message.
495 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
496 the mount status of the device.
497

499
Theodore Ts'oc8c071a2001-01-11 16:08:23 +0000500 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
501 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
502 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
503 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
504 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
505
Theodore Ts'o4d404542001-01-11 16:04:59 +0000506 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
507 flush the device.
508
Theodore Ts'odfcdc322001-01-11 15:38:00 +0000509 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
510
Theodore Ts'o83238152001-01-09 00:16:26 +00005112001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
512
513 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
514 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
515 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
516
Theodore Ts'o8820c792001-01-06 04:20:03 +00005172001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
518
519 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
520 prototype.
521
522 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
523 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
524 complaints.
525
526 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
527
528 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
529 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
530
Theodore Ts'o63985322001-01-03 17:02:13 +00005312001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
532
533 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
534 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
535 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
536 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
537
538 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
539 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
540 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
541
542 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
543 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
544
Theodore Ts'ob21e38a2001-01-01 15:26:58 +00005452001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
546
Theodore Ts'oef9abe52001-01-01 15:31:53 +0000547 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
548 struct ext2_super_block.
549
Theodore Ts'ob21e38a2001-01-01 15:26:58 +0000550 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
551 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
552 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
Theodore Ts'oef9abe52001-01-01 15:31:53 +0000553 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
554 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
555 using our own version now).

558
Theodore Ts'od4cf2fc2000-12-31 14:09:38 +0000559 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
560 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
561 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
562 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
563 the parallel_root option.
564
Theodore Ts'of10748d2000-12-31 13:55:14 +0000565 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
566 the file attributes.
567
568 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
569 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
570
Theodore Ts'o9a718842000-12-31 13:48:12 +0000571 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
572 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
573 support for the journaled data flag.
574
575 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
576
Theodore Ts'o16ad3332000-12-31 03:21:56 +00005772000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
578
579 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
580
581 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
582 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
583
Theodore Ts'ob9fd8c12000-12-29 03:10:45 +00005842000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
585
586 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
587 names.
588
589 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
590 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
591 instead of core dumping.
592
Theodore Ts'o74a74d22000-12-09 14:33:29 +00005932000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
594
Theodore Ts'od48755e2000-12-09 14:36:04 +0000595 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
596 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
597 journal creation routines for this purpose.
598
599 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
600 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
601
Theodore Ts'o74a74d22000-12-09 14:33:29 +0000602 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
603 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
604
Theodore Ts'o793e27d2000-12-03 06:33:56 +00006052000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
606
607 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
608 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
609 memory.
610
611 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
612 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
613
614 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
615
Theodore Ts'oe1c6b2f2000-12-02 06:19:33 +00006162000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
617
Theodore Ts'o2d091792000-12-02 07:03:32 +0000618 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
619 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
620 #63442)
621
Theodore Ts'oe9f9dd82000-12-02 06:35:07 +0000622 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
623 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
624 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
625 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
626 #65267)
627
Theodore Ts'oe1c6b2f2000-12-02 06:19:33 +0000628 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
629 group names to uid's before storing them in the
630 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
631
Theodore Ts'o8ddaa662000-11-17 04:55:24 +00006322000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
633
634 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
635 option=argument style options, and add support for
636 creating filesystems with external journals.
637
638 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
639
Theodore Ts'o72ed1262000-11-12 19:32:20 +00006402000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
641
642 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
643 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
644
Theodore Ts'o85ef4ae2000-10-24 19:33:45 +00006452000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
646
Theodore Ts'of6f65832000-10-25 03:01:37 +0000647 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
648 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
649 at this point.)
650
Theodore Ts'o0056be12000-10-25 02:24:33 +0000651 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
652 character labels.
653
Theodore Ts'o43819662000-10-25 02:06:09 +0000654 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
655 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
656 other devices.
657
Theodore Ts'o85ef4ae2000-10-24 19:33:45 +0000658 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
659 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
660 journal.
661
Theodore Ts'oe294cf22000-10-24 18:41:44 +00006622000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
663
664 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
665 didn't catch.

673
674 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
675 fails.
676
677 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
678 the inode table location in non-hex format.
679
Theodore Ts'o556ccbd2000-08-20 19:11:05 +00006802000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
681
682 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
683 we can't find the device using the name given by
684 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
685 into the kernel, but not mounted.)

689 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
690 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
691 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
692
693 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
694
Theodore Ts'oe41784e2000-08-14 14:44:15 +00006952000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
696
697 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
698 zap_sect.
699 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
700 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.

703
704 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
705 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
706

708
709 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
710
Theodore Ts'oa551b782000-07-13 22:05:31 +00007112000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
712
713 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
714 are mutually exclusive.
715
716 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
717 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
718 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
719 the long run.)
720
721 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
722 variable before going into the write verification loop.
723 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
724 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
725 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
726 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
727 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
728 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
729 routines anymore.
730
731 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
732 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
733 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
734 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
735 format string.
736
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +00007372000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
738
Theodore Ts'o19c68912000-07-07 03:25:13 +0000739 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
740 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
741 the progress bar display logic.
742
Theodore Ts'o45d9e2f2000-07-07 03:12:54 +0000743 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
744 max_mount_count is negative.
745
746 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
747 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
748 check.
749
Theodore Ts'o5b1519b2000-07-06 14:16:08 +0000750 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
751 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
752 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
753 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
754 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
755 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
756
Theodore Ts'o981dc562000-07-06 14:13:29 +0000757 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
758 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
759 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
760
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +0000761 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
762 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
Theodore Ts'o981dc562000-07-06 14:13:29 +0000763 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
764 for the -f option.
Theodore Ts'o35964b52000-07-06 13:19:43 +0000765
766 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
767 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
768 device as a default.
769
Theodore Ts'od49a22b2000-07-06 00:31:27 +00007702000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
771
772 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
773 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
774 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
775 old, overly complicated logic.
776 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
777 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
778 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
779
Theodore Ts'o26ab5312000-05-29 15:05:42 +00007802000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
781
782 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
783 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
784 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
785 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
786
Theodore Ts'o4ea0a112000-05-08 13:33:17 +00007872000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
788
Theodore Ts'oc96e5112000-05-08 14:47:15 +0000789 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
790 or LABEL= specification is given.
791
Theodore Ts'o4ea0a112000-05-08 13:33:17 +0000792 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
793 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
794 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
795 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
796 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
797 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
798
799 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
800 proceed_question that was busted due to the
801 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
802 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
803 cleared of the previous question's newline.
804
Theodore Ts'oe2207ce2000-04-06 21:51:18 +0000805Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
806
807 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
808 support fdatasync().
809
Theodore Ts'offe4cab2000-04-03 13:27:41 +00008102000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
811
Theodore Ts'o373b8332000-04-03 16:22:35 +0000812 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
813 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
814 manually define optarg and optind.
815
Theodore Ts'o4d003982000-04-03 16:01:11 +0000816 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
817 Beattie.
818
819 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
820 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
821 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
822 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
823
Theodore Ts'offe4cab2000-04-03 13:27:41 +0000824 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
825 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
826 address.
827 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
828
Theodore Ts'oe1a0a3e2000-02-11 05:00:19 +00008292000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
830
831 * chattr.1.in:
832 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
833
834 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
835
836 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
837
838 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
839 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
840
841 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
842 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
843 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
844 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
845 the same flag.
846
847 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
848 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
849 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.

Theodore Ts'od9c56d32000-02-08 00:47:55 +0000853 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
854 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
855 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
856 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
857 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
858
Theodore Ts'odd018f52000-02-06 23:57:07 +0000859 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
860 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
861 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
862 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
863 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
864 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
865
866 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
867
Theodore Ts'ob4ee1fb2000-02-02 19:08:51 +00008682000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
869
870 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
871 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
872 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
873 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
874 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
875
876 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
877 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
878
879 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
880

883 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
884 document the -s option.
885
Theodore Ts'o879ac922000-01-18 20:59:11 +00008862000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
887
888 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
889 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
890 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
891 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
892
893 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
894 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
895 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
896 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
897 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
898 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
899 Finally, the original data is written back.
900
901 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
902 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
903 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
904 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
905 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
906 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
907 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
908 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
909 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
910 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
911 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
912 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
913 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
914 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
915 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
916
917 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
918 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
919 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
920 randomly.
921
922 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
923 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
924
925 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
926 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
927 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
928 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
929 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
930 and want the host hard drive to flush.
931
932 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
933 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
934 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
935 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
936 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
937 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
938 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
939 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
940 scan).
941
942 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
943 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
944 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
945 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
946 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
947 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
948 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
949 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
950 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
951 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
952 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
953 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
954 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
955 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
956 completely reliable.
957
958 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
959 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
960 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
961 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
962 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
963 for your information.
964
965 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
966 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
967 which I install which will write back whatever original
968 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
969 (except SIGKILL, of course).
970
971 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
972 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
973 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
974 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
975 could learn how to update the manpage and other
976 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
977 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
978 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
979 should be in the distribution."

982
983 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
984 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
985 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
986
Theodore Ts'obfd21931999-11-23 13:48:58 +00009871999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
988
989 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
990 option is properly named.
991
Theodore Ts'o6733c2f1999-11-23 02:23:30 +00009921999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
993
994 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
995 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
996 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
997

Theodore Ts'o6a35ffa1999-11-04 22:34:43 +000010121999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1013
1014 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1015 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1016 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1017
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +000010181999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1019

1021
10221999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1023
Theodore Ts'o3bc03661999-10-26 17:17:00 +00001024 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1025 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1026 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1027
Theodore Ts'o36b01301999-10-26 14:38:36 +00001028 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1029 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1030 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1031 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1032
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +00001033 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
Theodore Ts'o9094f281999-10-26 16:42:50 +00001034 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1035 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1036 gcc warnings.
Theodore Ts'o4a600561999-10-26 14:35:51 +00001037
Theodore Ts'ob5135711999-10-26 14:33:24 +00001038 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1039 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1040 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1041 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1042 the child process.
1043
Theodore Ts'o36caf251999-10-26 14:29:22 +00001044 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1045 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1046
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +000010471999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1048
1049 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1050 happy.
Theodore Ts'oe6597041999-10-26 02:30:16 +00001051 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1052 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1053 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
Theodore Ts'oad6783d1999-10-26 01:58:54 +00001054
1055 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1056 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1057 an infinite loop.
1058
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +000010591999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1060
Theodore Ts'o614fdfd1999-10-23 03:19:51 +00001061 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1062
10631999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1064
Theodore Ts'o896938d1999-10-23 01:04:50 +00001065 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1066 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1067 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1068 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1069
1070 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1071 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1072 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that

1076
1077 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1078 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1079 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1080 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1081 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1082
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +000010831999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1084
Theodore Ts'o671cbfa1999-10-20 18:14:23 +00001085 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1086 changing the sparse superblock option
1087
Theodore Ts'o7f4bb6c1999-10-20 18:11:01 +00001088 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1089 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1090 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1091 unhandled SIGUSR1.
1092
10931999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o76714331999-10-20 18:06:29 +00001094
1095 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1096 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1097
Theodore Ts'o27401561999-09-14 20:11:19 +000010981999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1099
1100 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1101 Dirson.
1102
1103 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1104 kernels.
1105
1106 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1107 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1108 flag.
1109
1110 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1111 (header-only).
1112
11131999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1114
1115 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1116 superblock option.
1117
11181999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o657cb971999-07-30 23:19:10 +00001119
1120 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1121
Theodore Ts'o50787ea1999-07-19 15:30:21 +000011221999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1123
1124 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1125 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1126 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1127 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1128 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1129 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1130 the filesystem the system would make.
1131
11321999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1133
1134 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1135 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1136 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1137 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1138 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1139
11401999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o9f10a7b1999-07-16 10:41:36 +00001141
1142 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1143 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1144 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1145
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +000011461999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o5dbb0721999-07-03 06:16:06 +00001147
1148 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1149 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1150
Theodore Ts'oc54b3c31999-07-03 07:20:06 +000011511999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
Theodore Ts'o2d8defd1999-07-03 01:59:42 +00001152
1153 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1154 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1155 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1156 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1157 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1158 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1159
1160 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1161 UUID=bar type specifications.
1162
Theodore Ts'o00eedba1999-07-03 00:45:58 +000011631999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1164
1165 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1166 clear out a large block number.
1167
Theodore Ts'oca3c3281999-06-29 14:37:35 +000011681999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1169
1170 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1171 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1172
Theodore Ts'oe72a9ba1999-06-25 15:40:18 +000011731999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1174
1175 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1176 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1177
Theodore Ts'oe2423cc1999-06-18 00:51:31 +000011781999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1179
1180 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1181 code cleanups.
1182
Theodore Ts'o02e7dd91999-06-18 00:48:41 +000011831999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1184
1185 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1186 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1187 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1188 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1189
Theodore Ts'o5d45d801999-03-16 19:35:19 +000011901999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1191
1192 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1193 generate UUIDs.
1194
11951999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1196
1197 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1198 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1199
Theodore Ts'o7d5633c1999-02-09 08:14:28 +000012001999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1201
1202 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1203 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1204 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1205 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1206
12071999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1208
1209 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1210 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1211 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1212 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1213 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1214 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1215
Theodore Ts'oee922991999-01-16 05:39:12 +000012161999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1217
1218 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1219 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1220 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1221 fsck pass structure.
1222 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1223 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1224 to finish.
1225
Theodore Ts'o7953f611999-01-09 05:03:52 +000012261999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1236
1237 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1238 needs to be treated as zero.
1239
Theodore Ts'oa88fa0c1999-01-05 07:02:39 +000012401999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1241
Theodore Ts'o8d641742001-05-14 04:12:27 +00001242 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1243 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
Theodore Ts'o5515e6b1999-01-05 07:25:06 +00001244
Theodore Ts'oa88fa0c1999-01-05 07:02:39 +00001245 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1246 program if the -V option is given.
1247
1248 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1249 through a directory.
1250
Theodore Ts'o93ab9d71999-01-02 04:04:42 +000012511999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1252
1253 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1254 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1255 /etc/fstab file.
1256 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1257 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1258
12591998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1260
1261 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1262 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1263
Theodore Ts'o556ad131998-12-19 08:10:58 +000012641998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1269
1270 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1271 seperated", instead of common separated)
1272
Theodore Ts'o5a679c81998-12-03 16:40:38 +000012731998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1276
12771998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1278
1279 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1280 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1281 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1282
Theodore Ts'o1dde43f1998-11-14 04:18:28 +000012831998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1284
1285 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1286
1287 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1288 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1289 things look nice on an 80 character display.

12911998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1292
1293 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage
1294 message.

1313 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
1314
1315 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
1316 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1317 it isn't pretty.)
1318
13191998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1320
1321 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
1322 and exit.
1323
Theodore Ts'o4bf5fbf1998-05-14 22:43:10 +000013241998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1325

1330
1331 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
1332 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1333 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1334 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1335 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
1336
Theodore Ts'oa789d841998-03-30 01:20:55 +000013371998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1342
13431998-03-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1344
1345 * chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may
1346 only be set or cleared by the superuser.
1347
1348 * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is
1349 up-to-date.
1350
1351 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1352 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1353 be truncated.
1354
1355 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1356 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1357 that the label will be truncated.
1358
1359 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1360 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1361 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
1362
Theodore Ts'obbfa3aa1998-03-21 07:12:46 +000013631998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1369
1370 * partinfo.c (main): The ioctl BLKGETSIZE requires a long, not an
1371 int.
1372
Theodore Ts'o92bcc591998-02-16 22:29:34 +00001373Sun Feb 1 16:53:36 1998 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1374
1375 * badblocks.8: Update documentation to note that output format
1376 of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or
1377 mke2fs -l.
1378
1379 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
1380 bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the
1381 first one).
1382
Theodore Ts'oca8abba1998-01-19 14:55:24 +00001383Mon Dec 1 17:01:04 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1395 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1396 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
1397 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
1398 unsigned.
1399
Theodore Ts'od163b091997-10-03 17:42:28 +00001400Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1401
1402 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,
1403 to fix a -Wall warning.
1404
Theodore Ts'o00e54331997-09-16 02:13:52 +00001405Mon Sep 15 22:07:12 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1409 * lsattr.c (main):
1410 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1411 * chattr.c (main):
1412 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
1413 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some
1414 programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a
1415 random exit value.)
1416
Theodore Ts'oab6b8ab1997-07-14 19:28:55 +00001417Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1418
1419 * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which
1420 provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem
1421 label.
1422
1423 * Makefile.in (SPROGS): Add Makefile support to build e2label
1424
Theodore Ts'o024996c1997-06-17 05:38:35 +00001425Tue Jun 17 01:33:20 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1430
1431 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
1432 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
1433 80 columns when making a really big disk.

Theodore Ts'o583ccdc1997-05-09 03:06:31 +00001437 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
1438 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
1439 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
1440
Theodore Ts'of635d7f1997-05-09 02:50:16 +00001441 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
1442 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
1443 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
1444
Theodore Ts'oa29f4d31997-04-29 21:26:48 +00001445Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1446
1447 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.10
1448
1449Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1450
1451 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
1452 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
1453 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1454 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1455 bitmaps.
1456
1457 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1458 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1459
1460Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1461
1462 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
1463 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
1464 compatibility).
1465
1466Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1467
1468 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.09

1471
1472 * chattr.1.in: Updated man page so that the 'A' attribute is
1473 specified everywhere.
1474
1475 * chattr.c (usage): Added usage message for the 'A' attribute.
1476
1477Fri Apr 11 18:56:26 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1478
1479 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.08
1480
Theodore Ts'o521e3681997-04-29 17:48:10 +00001481Thu Apr 10 07:08:03 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1482
1483 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): List the offsets of the inode and block
1484 bitmaps, and the inode table. List the block boundaries
1485 for the groups.
1486
1487Sat Apr 5 11:55:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1488
1489 * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to
1490 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
1491
1492 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
1493 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
1494 sparse superblock flag is set.
1495 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
1496 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
1497 blocksize.
1498
Theodore Ts'o19c78dc1997-04-29 16:17:09 +00001499Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
1500
1501 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07
1502
1503Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1504
1505 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and
1506 i_gid to be the real user and group id.
1507
1508Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1509
1510 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error
1511 messages when the device doesn't exist.
1512
1513Sat Mar 1 10:43:32 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1514
1515 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug where the PATH environment variable isn't
1516 set when it is unset.
1517
1518Tue Jan 14 12:30:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1519
1520 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
1521 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
1522 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
1523 initialized.
1524
1525Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1526
1527 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
1528
1529 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
1530
1531Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1532
1533 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that
1534 they frequently update the block number field.
1535
1536 * badblocks.8.in: Document the optional start-block parameter
1537
1538Mon Oct 14 11:52:58 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1539
1540 * mke2fs.c: Updated to use new ext2fs_allocate_tables() function.
1541
1542Tue Oct 8 02:02:03 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1543
1544 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.06
1545
Theodore Ts'o5c576471997-04-29 15:29:49 +00001546Mon Oct 7 00:56:24 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1547
1548 * chattr.1.in: Documented the 'A' (noatime) attribute.
1549
1550 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Change EXT2_SWAP to EXT2_FLAG_SWAP for
1551 consistency's sake.
1552
1553Sun Sep 22 16:18:47 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1554
1555 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Add support for the 'A' (noatime) flag.
1556
1557Thu Sep 12 15:23:07 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1558
1559 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.05
1560
Theodore Ts'o1e3472c1997-04-29 14:53:37 +00001561Sat Sep 7 07:34:11 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1562
1563 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support for new option -C, which sets the
1564 current number of mounts.
1565 (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds,
1566 mostly for debugging.
1567
1568Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1569
1570 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.
1571 (SPROGS): Use @FSCK_PROG@ instead of fsck.
1572
1573Thu Aug 22 00:51:44 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1574
1575 * mke2fs.c (zap_bootblock): Don't do zap_bootblock on a
1576 sparc.
1577
1578Tue Aug 20 00:15:46 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1579
1580 * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report
1581 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
1582
1583Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1584
1585 * tune2fs.8.in:
1586 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1587 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1588 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1589
1590 * mke2fs.8.in:
1591 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1592 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1593 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1594 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1595 mounted directory.
1596
1597Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1598
1599 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1600 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1601 and no version number is specified.
1602
Theodore Ts'o62c06f71997-04-29 14:34:47 +00001603Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1604
1605 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
1606
1607Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1608
1609 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2
1610 libraries.
1611
Theodore Ts'o7f88b041997-04-26 14:48:50 +00001612Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1613
1614 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1615
1616Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1617
1618 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1619 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1620
1621Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1622
1623 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1624
1625 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1626 revision.
1627
1628Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1629
1630 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1631 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1632 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1633 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1634 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1635 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1636 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1637 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1638 option turned on.
1639
Theodore Ts'o74becf31997-04-26 14:37:06 +00001640Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1641
1642 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1643
1644Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1645
1646 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1647 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
1648 vs. /dev/hda1)
1649
1650Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1651
1652 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
1653 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
1654 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
1655 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
1656 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
1657
1658Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1659
1660 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
1661 ext2fs_test_bit().
1662
Theodore Ts'o297f47a1997-04-26 14:25:20 +00001663Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1664
1665 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
1666 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
1667
Theodore Ts'oa418d3a1997-04-26 14:00:26 +00001668Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1669
1670 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
1671
1672Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1673
1674 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
1675 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
1676 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
1677
1678Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1679
1680 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
1681 the same order.
1682
1683Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1684
1685 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
1686 function to determine if the device is mounted.
1687
1688 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
1689 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
1690 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
1691 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
1692
1693Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1694
1695 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
1696 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
1697 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
1698 check.
1699
1700Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1701
1702 * badblocks.8:
1703 * chattr.1:
1704 * dumpe2fs.8:
1705 * fsck.8:
1706 * lsattr.1:
1707 * mke2fs.8:
1708 * mklost+found.8:
1709 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
1710
1711Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
1712
1713 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
1714 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
1715 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
1716
1717 * mke2fs.8:
1718 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
1719
1720Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1721
1722 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
1723 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(&param), instead of assuming that the
1724 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
1725
1726Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1727
1728 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
1729 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
1730 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
1731 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
1732 advisable.
1733
1734 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
1735 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
1736 alloca is not portable!
1737
1738 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
1739 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
1740 /etc/fstab.
1741
1742 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
1743
1744Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
1745
1746 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
1747 benefit.
1748
1749 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
1750
1751 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1752 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
1753
1754Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
1755
1756 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1757 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
1758
1759Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
1760
1761 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
1762
1763 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
1764 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
1765
1766 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
1767
1768Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1769
1770 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
1771 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
1772 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
1773 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1774
1775 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
1776 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
1777 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
1778 statically sized buffer.
1779 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
1780 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
1781
1782 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
1783 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
1784 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
1785 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
1786 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
1787
1788 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
1789 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
1790 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
1791 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
1792 (test_rw): Ditto.
1793
1794 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
1795 support separate compilation directories.
1796
Theodore Ts'of3db3561997-04-26 13:34:30 +00001797Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
1798
1799 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
1800 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
1801 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
1802 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
1803
1804 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
1805 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
1806 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
1807 very large partition.
1808
1809 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
1810 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
1811 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
1812
1813 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
1814 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
1815 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
1816 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
1817 ioctl, which most do.)
1818
1819 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
1820 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
1821 during 0.5b development.)
1822
1823Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1824
1825 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
1826 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
1827 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
1828 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
1829 measure).
1830
1831 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
1832 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
1833 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
1834
1835Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
1836
1837 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
1838
1839 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
1840 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
1841 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.

1844
1845 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the

1850
1851 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
1852 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
1853 all partitions should be checked.
1854
1855Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
1856
1857 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
1858 structures.
1859
1860 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
1861 the effective uid.
1862

1864
1865 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
1866 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.

1869
1870 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
1871
1872Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
1873
1874 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
1875 read-only test.
1876
1877 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
1878
1879 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
1880
1881 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
1882
1883 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
1884

1887Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
1888
1889 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
1890 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
1891 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
1892 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
1893 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
1894
1895 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
1896 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
1897 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
1898 statistics if necessary.
