doc/CHANGES

   1 xfsprogs-2.4.4 (30 March 2003)
   2         - Correct display of imaxpct in mkfs.xfs output.
   3         - Portability changes; including some code to support use
   4           of several tools on Mac OS X (for Russell), also did a
   5           simplistic backport to IRIX (for me), so that I can run
   6           purify on some of the tools.
   7         - See doc/INSTALL for more details on this.
   8         - Sync up user/kernel source in libxfs and headers.
   9         - Fix up some warnings when compiling libxfs on big endian
  10           platforms.
  11         - Fix a configure.in botch which resulted in libreadline
  12           always being used even when it was not asked for.
  13         - Fixed the configure.in script so that if gettext disabled,
  14           we don't check for the gettext tools (and no longer fails
  15           if they were not found).
  16         - Added the ability to specify a different user and/or group
  17           to install as (previously, and still by default, root/root
  18           were always used here).
  19
  20 xfsprogs-2.4.3 (27 March 2003)
  21         - Cleanups to the build process, in particular the automatic
  22           rpm package generation Makefile and spec file template.
  23         - Makepkgs script can now propagate failures back from make.
  24         - Minor configure.in update to deal with readline libraries
  25           which have not been linked correctly.
  26
  27 xfsprogs-2.4.2 (25 March 2003)
  28         - Added the xfs_io(8) command, an xfs_db(8) alike command
  29           for testing and debugging the XFS file IO path.
  30         - Added an optional dependency on the GNU readline library
  31           which is "off" by default and enabled with the configure
  32           option --enable-readline=yes; it affects the interactive
  33           tools only (xfs_db and now xfs_io).
  34         - Implemented xfs_bmap(8) as a shell script wrapper.
  35         - Documented the mkfs.xfs -f, -llogdev and -rrtdev options.
  36         - Corrected size check for realtime summary inode (not the
  37           same as the realtime bitmap inode) in xfs_repair.
  38
  39 xfsprogs-2.4.1 (18 March 2003)
  40         - Fix error reporting when zeroing parts of the realtime
  41           device in phase6 of xfs_repair.
  42         - Add a mkfs.xfs check for Mac partitions before writing
  43           to the device.

  45         - Minor fix to the xfs_bmap(8) man page.
  46         - Sync up user/kernel source in libxfs and headers.
  47
  48 xfsprogs-2.4.0 (06 March 2003)
  49         - Enable unwritten extents by default in mkfs.xfs.
  50         - Add a command to xfs_db to enable unwritten extents.
  51         - Add an option to xfs_admin to use the above command.
  52         - Add command to xfs_db to print out the currently enabled
  53           feature bits and version number.
  54         - Make xfs_db slightly more robust in the presense of bad
  55           ondisk data.
  56         - Rationalise some xfs_db superblock-related code and the
  57           uuid command now checks for a dirty log before zeroing.
  58         - Add stripe alignment information to xfs_bmap.
  59         - Sync up user/kernel source in libxfs and headers.
  60         - Update man pages, fix a typo in the xfs_admin man page
  61           relating to the UUID options.
  62
  63 xfsprogs-2.3.11 (18 February 2003)
  64         - Missed a build dependency for the Debian build process.
  65
  66 xfsprogs-2.3.10 (17 February 2003)
  67         - Fix a divide-by-zero error in mkfs with certain stripe unit
  68           and/or width options specified.
  69         - Sync up user/kernel source in libxfs and headers.
  70
  71 xfsprogs-2.3.9 (31 December 2002)
  72         - Additional xfs_repair check in v2 directory handling for blks
  73           with no data entries (merged from IRIX), includes several
  74           handy comments sprinkled throughout this v2 dir code.
  75         - Fix an endian bug in the same area of code (v2 dirs, phase 6,
  76           longform_dir2_rebuild_setup)
  77         - xfs_repair has additional checks for bad sector values now.
  78         - xfs_repair I18N changes.
  79         - Fix detection of readonly mounts, slightly botched in 2.3.8.
  80         - Fix references to removed ioctl commands on xfs(5) man page.
  81
  82 xfsprogs-2.3.8 (18 December 2002)
  83         - Initial support for I18N (still more to do here).
  84         - Initial changes for filesystems with greater than 512 byte
  85           sector sizes (still plenty more to do here too).
  86         - Tidy up libxfs functions which take a "flags" argument.
  87         - Sync up user/kernel source in lib{xfs,xlog} and headers.
  88         - Fixed incorrect use of XFS_FSB_TO_DADDR macro in xfs_db's
  89           faddr.c::fa_dirblock routine - now use XFS_FSB_TO_BB here,
  90           as set_cur() takes basic blocks as its third parameter.
  91         - Fixed obscure issue in mkfs where only the first AG would
  92           get its AGFL freelist "fixed" - not clear this caused any
  93           issues in practice (on Linux its always been this way, we
  94           now match up with IRIX though).
  95         - Made xfs_growfs filesystem geometry output match up with
  96           that displayed by mkfs.xfs (xfs_growfs was missing a comma
  97           before the log version field).
  98         - Fixed an issue in xfs_repair where data past the end of the
  99           valid superblock fields was sometimes not cleared, when it
 100           really should have been (due to a libxfs problem).
 101         - Shell scripts (xfs_info, xfs_check, etc) now also report
 102           the xfsprogs version number via -V, like other commands.
 103
 104 xfsprogs-2.3.7 (14 November 2002)
 105         - Fix an endian bug in xfs_db freesp command when descending
 106           into multi-level agf cnt/bno btrees.
 107
 108 xfsprogs-2.3.6 (31 October 2002)
 109         - Sync up user/kernel source in lib{xfs,xlog} and headers.
 110         - Fix several warnings from newer (3.2) versions of gcc.
 111         - Minor header file shuffling.
 112
 113 xfsprogs-2.3.5 (10 October 2002)
 114         - Sync up user/kernel source in lib{xfs,xlog} and headers.
 115         - Fix mkfs (libxfs) bug when using BLKFLSBUF ioctl - we passed
 116           in the device number instead of a file descriptor (and EBADF
 117           was the end result, which we ignored).
 118         - Thanks to Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> for fixing this.
 119
 120 xfsprogs-2.3.4 (04 October 2002)
 121         - Fix size calculation bug in xfs_repair's memory allocation,
 122           reduces memory usage by a factor of 4.

 125         - Fix mkfs bug when optimizing AG size on striped devices,
 126           ASSERT(agcount != 0) tripped on single-ag filesystems.
 127
 128 xfsprogs-2.3.2 (10 September 2002)
 129         - Use pread/pwrite instead of lseek + read/write.
 130
 131 xfsprogs-2.3.1 (03 September 2002)
 132         - Allow xfs_db to accept negative numbers when writing values.
 133
 134 xfsprogs-2.3.0 (03 September 2002)
 135         - Several changes to geometry ioctl callers which will make
 136           the tools useable on older kernel versions too.
 137         - Mainly affects xfs_bmap and xfs_growfs.
 138         - Do some additional cleanup after autoconf has run.
 139
 140 xfsprogs-2.2.3 (28 August 2002)
 141         - Update libdisk for a few other filesystems.
 142         - Fix call to lvdisplay on LVM volumes so that lvdisplay
 143           always gets the full, real path to the volume, as required.
 144
 145 xfsprogs-2.2.2 (19 August 2002)
 146         - Fix endian bug in xfs_db, was not flipping 16-bit numbers.
 147         - Make xfs_repair recognize a NULLFSINO and print that in
 148           addition to "18446744073709551615" for easy recognition.
 149         - Fix format string that xfs_repair uses when fixing inodes,
 150           so that the new inode numbers are printed correctly.
 151
 152 xfsprogs-2.2.1 (09 August 2002)
 153         - Fix buglet in libdisk get_driver_block_major() routine which
 154           would result in incorrect majors being returned for not-found
 155           drivers.
 156         - Fix problem in install process with newer autoconf versions.
 157
 158 xfsprogs-2.2.0 (08 August 2002)
 159         - mkfs.xfs defaults to a blocksize of 4096 bytes, and no longer
 160           uses getpagesize(2) to dynamically configure the default size.
 161         - Add EVMS stripe unit/width auto-detection support in mkfs.xfs
 162           (patch from Luciano Chavez).
 163         - Sync user/kernel headers (arch.h incorporated into xfs_arch.h,
 164           and several other minor changes).
 165
 166 xfsprogs-2.1.2 (17 July 2002)
 167         - Fix up log stripe unit specification options, and update
 168           man page.  Also fix suffix handling for data su/sw options
 169           (disallow unit suffixes on -d sunit,swidth,sw and -l sunit).
 170           Add "s" (512-byte sectors) as valid suffix.
 171         - Automatically select v2 logs if a log stripe unit is
 172           specified.
 173
 174 xfsprogs-2.1.1 (04 July 2002)
 175         - Build infrastructure updates so that configure options can be
 176           used to specify paths rather than semi-hard-coded path names
 177           controlled by the ROOT/ROOT_PREFIX environment variables; eg.
 178           now allows /lib64 and /lib32
 179

 188         - Fix error returns from log recovery (affects xfs_repair).
 189         - Fix the way mkfs.xfs round downs the device when the last
 190           AG is smaller than the minimum AG size.
 191         - Fix bug in xfs_repair da_write() routine, which affects
 192           filesystems where the data blocksize != naming blocksize
 193           (see xfs_info output).
 194         - Fix a use-after-free bug in xfs_repair code for checking
 195           version 1 btree-format directories.

 197
 198 xfsprogs-2.0.5 (02 May 2002)
 199         - Size AGs so that they do not always start on the same
 200           part of a striped disk
 201         - Fix an off-by-one error on rounding down an AG that is
 202           too small to be an AG
 203         - Don't auto-grow the log to be larger than an AG
 204         - Change the error philosophy for -d su=,sw= away from forcing
 205           the XFS stripe size to match the volume manager stripe size
 206           and instead accept, with a warning, the stripe unit & width
 207           supplied on the commandline.
 208         - Update xfs_growfs man page
 209         - Don't build libxlog.a with DEBUG enabled

 215
 216 xfsprogs-2.0.3 (13 April 2002)
 217         - Important build system update, was causing libxfs to be
 218           built incorrectly, which can cause xfs_repair to fail by
 219           tripping asserts in additional libxfs debug code.
 220
 221 xfsprogs-2.0.2 (04 April 2002)
 222         - Bumped version of libhandle to libhandle.so.1.0.1
 223           This changes open_by_handle() and friends so that
 224           O_LARGEFILE is added to the open flags.
 225           This allows xfsdump to dump files greater than
 226           2^31-1 bytes instead of not dumping the large
 227           files and giving warning messages.
 228

 238         - xfs_repair in no-modify mode opens the filesystem device
 239           read-only now (fix from Chris Pascoe)
 240         - sync up with recent (minor) changes to shared kernel code
 241         - switch to using the BLKGETSIZE64 ioctl in libxfs, instead
 242           of the (previously busted) BLKGETSIZE ioctl
 243

 258           driver signatures.
 259         - xfs_repair fix to prevent double insertion into the
 260           uncertain_inode AVL trees ("avl_insert: duplicate range")
 261         - xfs_repair fix if the log is corrupted and we can't find
 262           the head, don't exit - just proceed on with zeroing it
 263         - use snprintf instead of sprintf throughout
 264
 265 xfsprogs-1.3.16 (17 December 2001)
 266         - added text dump type to xfs_db (mkp)
 267         - removed use of a temporary file in xfs_db when processing
 268           commands on the command line - allows xfs_check to be run
 269           on read-only root filesystems
 270
 271 xfsprogs-1.3.15 (12 December 2001)
 272         - reenable the use of the BLKBSZSET ioctl, its baaack
 273         - sync recent XFS kernel source changes back into libxfs
 274

 277         - add documentation for xfs_db(8) label/uuid commands
 278         - automatic inode sizing code in mkfs.xfs has been removed
 279           (restricting inodes to 32 bits) - Steve's recent kernel
 280           changes mean this is no longer an issue
 281         - fix bug in mkfs.xfs size cross-check for realtime device
 282
 283 xfsprogs-1.3.13 (25 October 2001)
 284         - fix bug in mkfs for 1Tbyte + filesystems
 285         - sync with recent kernel changes - this does not affect
 286           userspace (libxfs), all affected code is removed by cpp.
 287
 288 xfsprogs-1.3.12 (17 October 2001)
 289         - implement the -f (file) option to xfs_logprint
 290         - rework the xlog code into libxlog for code sharing
 291         - xfs_repair now detects a dirty log and, without -L, will
 292           no longer blindly zero it (which prevents any recovery)
 293
 294 xfsprogs-1.3.11 (17 October 2001)
 295         - tidy up some (benign) compiler warnings from libxfs

 310
 311 xfsprogs-1.3.8 (19 September 2001)
 312         - rewrote the LVM support used by mkfs.xfs to call external
 313           lvdisplay program to get volume geometry (mkp@mkp.net)
 314         - fix bug in LVM driver wrapper where it would not have been
 315           used at all, ever (since 1.3.0), due to idiot programmer
 316           error (*blush*) -- also thanks to mkp for the bug fix
 317
