6
7 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
8 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
9 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.

44 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
45 it isn't pretty.)

58
59 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
60 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
61 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
62 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
63 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
64

84 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
85 that the label will be truncated.
86
87 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
88 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
89 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

247
248 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables
249 where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop.
250 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
251 initialized.
252
253Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
254
255 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
256
257 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
258

339
Theodore Ts'o7f88b041997-04-26 14:48:50 +0000340Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

357
358 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
359 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
360 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
361 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
362 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
363 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
364 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
365 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
366 option turned on.
367

376 vs. /dev/hda1)
377
378Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
379
380 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
381 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
382 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
383 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
384 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
385
386Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
387

400Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
401
402 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
403 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
404 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
405
406Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
407
408 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
409 the same order.
410
411Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
412
413 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
414 function to determine if the device is mounted.
415
416 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
417 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
418 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
419 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
420
421Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
422
423 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
424 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
425 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
426 check.
427

429
430 * badblocks.8:
431 * chattr.1:
432 * dumpe2fs.8:
433 * fsck.8:
434 * lsattr.1:
435 * mke2fs.8:
436 * mklost+found.8:
437 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
438
439Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
440
441 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
442 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
443 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
444
445 * mke2fs.8:
446 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
447
448Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
449
450 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
451 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(&param), instead of assuming that the
452 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
453
454Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
455
456 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
457 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
458 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
459 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
460 advisable.
461
462 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
463 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
464 alloca is not portable!
465
466 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
467 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
468 /etc/fstab.
469
470 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
471
472Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
473
474 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
475 benefit.
476
477 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
478
479 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
480 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
481
482Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
483
484 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
485 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
486
487Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
488
489 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
490
491 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
492 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
493
494 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
495
496Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
497
498 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
499 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
500 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
501 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
502
503 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
504 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
505 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
506 statically sized buffer.
507 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
508 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
509
510 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
511 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
512 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
513 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
514 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
515
516 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
517 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
518 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
519 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
520 (test_rw): Ditto.
521
522 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
523 support separate compilation directories.
524
Theodore Ts'of3db3561997-04-26 13:34:30 +0000525Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
526
527 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
528 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
529 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
530 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
531
532 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
533 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
534 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
535 very large partition.
536
537 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
538 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
539 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
540
541 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
542 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
543 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
544 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
545 ioctl, which most do.)
546
547 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
548 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
549 during 0.5b development.)
550
551Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
552
553 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
554 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
555 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
556 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
557 measure).
558
559 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
560 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
561 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
562
563Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
564
565 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
566
567 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
568 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
569 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
570
571Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
572
573 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
574 new options.
575 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
576
577Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
578
579 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
580 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
581 all partitions should be checked.
582
583Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
584
585 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
586 structures.
587
588 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
589 the effective uid.
590
591Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
592
593 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
594 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
595
596Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
597
598 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
599
600Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
601
602 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
603 read-only test.
604
605 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
606
607 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.
608
609 * lsattr.c: Added support for long format.
610
611 * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message.
612
613 (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available.
614
615Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
616
617 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
618 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
619 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
620 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
621 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
622
623 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
624 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
625 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
626 statistics if necessary.
