1 | E2fsprogs 1.43.5-WIP (February 17, 2017) -- dea731316a249 |
2 | ======================================== | |
3 | ||
4 | Fix a regression introduced in e2fsprogs 1.43.4 where tune2fs was not | |
5 | able to correctly enable the quota feature. (Addresses Debian Bug: | |
6 | #855417) | |
7 | ||
8 | E2fsck will only return an exit status code of 1 if it has fixed a | |
9 | file system corruption. If it only performed an optimal optimization | |
10 | of internal file system metadata, it will now return 0. | |
11 | ||
12 | Fix e2fsck so it won't check inode fields of deleted inodes. This was | |
13 | mostly harmless, but the addition of a check in 1.43.4 to enforce the | |
14 | requirement that inline data inodes have a system.data attribute | |
15 | caused a regression in xfstests generic/079. Fix this and a number of | |
16 | other checks which could lead to false positive reports of file system | |
17 | corruption. | |
18 | ||
19 | Removed a debugging printf in libsupport which could result to some | |
20 | extraneous and confusing output if the user specifies a quota type. | |
21 | ||
22 | The debugfs logdump command now accepts a new -S option which will | |
23 | cause it to print information about the journal superblock. | |
24 | ||
25 | Added a missing space in debugfs's ls -l output to separate the size | |
26 | and date fields. | |
27 | ||
28 | Update various man pages. | |
29 | ||
30 | Programming notes | |
31 | ----------------- | |
32 | ||
33 | Fix portability assumption in tests; don't depend on the existence of | |
34 | /dev/stdin. | |
35 | ||
36 | Clean up the comments in problem.c match the message that will | |
37 | actually be printed. | |
38 | ||
39 | Removed an unused an obsolete header file. | |
40 | ||

43 | E2fsprogs 1.43.4 (January 31, 2017) |
44 | =================================== | |
45 | ||
46 | Fix e2fsck to require that the system.data extended attribute is | |
47 | always present even for files smaller than 60 bytes, to be consistent | |
48 | with the kernel. | |
05cecaf4 TT |
49 | |
50 | Fix a bug which was causing mke2fs -d and fuse2fs to improperly handle | |
51 | Posix ACL's. | |
52 | ||
53 | Fix a bug which could cause mke2fs -d to fail if there is an | |
54 | zero-length file in source directory tree. | |
55 | ||
3d66c4b2 TT |
56 | Clarify the default for the "proceed?" question printed by mke2fs and |
57 | tune2fs. (Addresses Debian Bug: #852727) | |
58 | ||
05cecaf4 TT |
59 | Debugfs will now display project quota information. |
60 | ||
61 | Debugfs's do_set_xattr now uses C strings to parse extended attribute | |
62 | values, and will print the extended attributes using either C strings | |
63 | or hex bytes when using debugfs's do_get_xattr command. It will now | |
64 | allow developers to see the contents of the system.data extended | |
65 | attribute. | |
66 | ||
67 | Fix a bug in mke2fs where I/O errors weren't getting properly reported | |
68 | to the user. | |
69 | ||
70 | Fix multiblock writes in the unaligned Direct I/O fallback code. | |
71 | (Which is rarely needed on Linux systems, but which is required on | |
72 | Freebsd systems.) | |
73 | ||
74 | Make sure the default mke2fs.conf file includes the uninit_bg feature | |
75 | flag. (Which was accidentally dropped in v1.43). | |
76 | ||
77 | Fix a bug in resize2fs when operating on very large file systems which | |
78 | have a block size different from the VM page size. | |
79 | ||
80 | If the reported device size is absurdly large, mke2fs will now report | |
81 | an error instead looping forever or crashing. | |
82 | ||
3d66c4b2 TT |
83 | Fix various Coverity warnings and other memory leaks in fuse2fs and |
84 | extended attribute manipulation functions. | |
85 | ||
05cecaf4 TT |
86 | Replace a test file but which had a "non-commercial use-only" |
87 | copyright permission file with a newer version from the Cyrus imapd | |
88 | package which now has a 4-clause BSD license, which was making some | |
89 | lawyers nervous, even though the test file in question was only used | |
90 | in lib/et's regression testing and was never included in any compiled | |
91 | binary. (Addresses Debian Bug: #840733) | |
92 | ||
3d66c4b2 TT |
93 | Stop installing mkfs.ext4dev and fsck.ext4dev |
94 | ||
95 | Update Chinese, Czech, Polish, Serbian, and Spanish translations and | |
96 | add the Finnish and Malay translation. (Addresses-Debian-Bug: #774379) | |
97 | ||
98 | Update various man pages (Addresses-Debian-Bug: #852726) | |
99 | ||

104 | FreeBSD 11-rc2. | |
105 | ||
106 | Fix the Mac build. | |
107 | ||
108 | Fix build failure on RHEL 5.x systems caused by an old version of | |
109 | libmagic. | |
110 | ||
111 | Fix a number of bugs reported by ASAN that can cause some (mostly | |
112 | harmless) memory dereferences beyond allocated memory. | |
113 | ||
114 | ||
4e52870e TT |
115 | E2fsprogs 1.43.3 (September 4, 2016) |
116 | ==================================== | |
117 | ||
118 | Fix e2fsck's handling of timestamps on 32-bit systems. | |
119 | ||
120 | E2fsck will now check, and if necessary repair the extra isize fields | |
121 | in the inode and superblock. | |
122 | ||
123 | Fix crashes on architectures such as sparc64 that are sensitive to | |
124 | unaligned pointer derferences in the journal recovery code when | |
125 | journal checksums are enabled. | |
126 | ||
127 | Programming notes | |
128 | ----------------- | |
129 | ||
130 | Support reproducible builds by not capturing the build directory into | |
131 | the mk_cmds and compile_et scripts. Also fix debian build rules to | |
132 | ensure build reproducibility. | |
133 | ||
134 | Fix debian build rules to ensure build reproducibility and to avoid | |
135 | hiding the linker flags for e2fsck.static so the build hardening log | |
136 | scanner can properly audit the build. | |
137 | ||
138 | Fix compatibility with FreeBSD's pmake and teach the configure script | |
139 | to force the creation of pmake-compatible Makefiles if the | |
140 | FORCE_NATIVE_MAKE environment variable is set to a non-empty value. | |
141 | ||

f6acc121 TT |
143 | E2fsprogs 1.43.2 (September 1, 2016) |
144 | ==================================== | |
145 | ||
146 | Fix resize2fs so it will not crash if there is an extended attribute | |
147 | block but it doesn't need to migate any blocks during an off-line | |
148 | resize | |
149 | ||
150 | Fix a crash when mke2fs or debugfs tries to copy in a directory | |
151 | hierarchy containing an empty directory | |
152 | ||
153 | Mke2fs will now use a larger journal by default for filesystems | |
154 | greater than 128 GB. (1GB instead of 128 MB.) | |
155 | ||
156 | Fix an alignment bug in e2fsck which caused sparc64 architectures to | |
157 | crash when replaying the journal on file systems with a 64-bit block | |
158 | number. | |
159 | ||
160 | Clarify the message printed by tune2fs message when the user needs to | |
161 | run e2fsck so it's clear that the -f flag to e2fsck is needed to | |
162 | force a full e2fsck scan. (Addresses Debian Bug: #828022) | |
163 | ||
164 | Fix a bug in e2fsck caused by a power failure during e2fsck's journal | |
165 | replay could leave the file system in a state where if the file system | |
166 | is mounted without doing a full e2fsck scan, the file system could get | |
167 | corrupted | |
168 | ||
169 | Fix the logic in e2fsck which decides when to repair legacy negative | |
170 | timestamp encodings. | |
171 | ||
172 | Add a command to debugfs to copy the inode structure from one inode to | |
173 | another. | |
174 | ||
175 | Fix a typo in debugfs's stat command when printing out the dtime field | |
176 | on file systems with an extended timestamp. | |
177 | ||
178 | Fix big endian bugs in the e2undo program. (Addresses Red Hat Bug | |
179 | #1344636) | |
180 | ||
181 | Debugfs's logdump can now properly handle journals larger than 2GB. | |
182 | ||
183 | Avoid installing the man page for fuse2fs if it has not been built. | |
184 | ||
185 | Update the Catalan, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Polish, | |
186 | Swedish, Ukrainian translations and added new translations for | |
187 | Hugarian and Serbian. | |
188 | ||
189 | ||
190 | Programming notes | |
191 | ----------------- | |
192 | ||
193 | Fix portability problems in fuse2fs. Previously it wouldn't build on | |
194 | systems with older glibc versions where clock_gettime() is only | |
195 | available in the librt library, and if libintl is not bundled into the | |
196 | C library. | |
197 | ||
198 | Remove complicated logic which caused a static code analyzer to flag a | |
199 | false positive. (A static code analyzer also found a valid bug in | |
200 | deciding when to repair a legacy negative timestamp encoding, so | |
201 | eliminating false positives is important.) | |
202 | ||
203 | Fixed a bug where the ext2fs library cloud provoke when a | |
204 | extfs2_zero_blocks() is used (via fallocation, initializing a file | |
205 | system, uninitialized uninitialized inode table blocks) after a | |
206 | different file system which also used ext2fs_zero_blocks(). | |
207 | ||
208 | Enable the unix_io manager in the ext2fs library so it can accept the | |
209 | use of a file descriptor. This is helpful in cases where the file | |
210 | descriptor comes from temporary file created using O_TMPFILE, or | |
211 | passed in from a unix domain socket. | |
212 | ||
213 | Fix a Windows64 portability bug. | |
214 | ||
215 | ||
48203a38 TT |
216 | E2fsprogs 1.43.1 (June 8, 2016) |
217 | =============================== | |
218 | ||
219 | Fixed e2fsck so that it would correctly update the project quota usage | |
220 | when deleting a corrupted and inode, and fixed mke2fs so it wouldn't | |
221 | dereference memory beyond the small inode structure (which was wrong, | |
222 | but worked mostly by accident unless hardening or some security malloc | |
223 | was in use). | |
224 | ||
225 | Fixed a large number of FreeBSD portability problems. (To build on | |
226 | FreeBSD, however, we still need to use GNU Make and redirect dd to use | |
227 | GNU dd.) | |
228 | ||
229 | The configure script now supports --enable-hardening, which enables | |
230 | stack protection, fortify, read-only relocation tables, immediate | |
231 | dynamic symbol binding, and text segment ASLR (if the kernel has | |
232 | userspace ASLR support enabled) by enabling position independent | |
233 | executable code. (Distributions who want to do their own special | |
234 | thing can set CFLAGS, CFLAGS_SHLIB, CLFAGS_STLIB, LDFLAGS, | |
235 | LDFLAGS_SHLIB and LDFLAGS_STATIC as appropriate.) | |
236 | ||
237 | The configure script now supports --disable-tdb since on 64-bit | |
238 | systems, it's much faster to just enable additional swap space. The | |
239 | scratch_files feature in e2fsck.conf is mostly only useful on 32-bit | |
240 | systems. | |
241 | ||
242 | Fixed the Direct I/O fallback codepath in the Unix I/O manager so that | |
243 | read/modify/write worked correctly. Fortunately in practice (with the | |
244 | exception of the Undo handler when running on FreeBSD) used this buggy | |
245 | codepath. so file systems weren't getting corrupted. | |
246 | ||
247 | Mke2fs will now warn if the user provides a label which is too long. | |
248 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #791630) | |
249 | ||
250 | Debugfs's rdump command now works correctly when dumping the root | |
251 | directory of a file system. (Addresses Debian Bug: #766125) | |
252 | ||
253 | Fixed a bug in debugfs so it would correctly calculate a block group's | |
254 | checksum field field on 64-bit ssystems. | |
255 | ||
256 | E2fsck now has a much more understandable error message when the | |
257 | journal superblock is corrupt and the user declines to fix it. | |
258 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #768162) | |
259 | ||
260 | Fixed support of extended timestamps on 64-bit systems. | |
261 | ||
262 | Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #766379, | |
263 | #761144, #770750, #428361, #766127) | |
264 | ||
265 | Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues. (Addresses Debian Bug: #825868) | |
266 | ||
267 | ||
268 | Programming notes | |
269 | ----------------- | |
270 | ||
271 | Fixed coverity, sparse, gcc -Wall, and clang warnings/nits. | |
272 | ||
273 | Fixed Android build makefiles (which was missing a newly added file in | |
274 | lib/support). | |
275 | ||
276 | In general, checks on s_creator_os have been removed in favor of | |
277 | feature flag specific checks; if there is something that can't be | |
278 | checked via the presence of a feature flag, we will simply check | |
279 | whether the creator OS is *not* EXT2_OS_HURD which is the one | |
280 | operating system where there has been extensive abuse of the | |
281 | s_creator_os flag. | |
282 | ||
283 | The libmagic libary has been suppressed when running the regression | |
284 | test suite to avoid false test failures caused by differences between | |
285 | versions of libmagic (and/or the magic number database). | |
286 | ||
287 | The tests/test_script progam now accepts the --failed option, which | |
288 | will run those tests that had previously failed. | |
289 | ||
290 | Fixed tests build on those systems which require LDFLAGS to be set. | |
291 | ||
292 | Fixed the regression test suite so it will properly filter out version | |
293 | numbers with two components (such as 1.43) from log files before | |
294 | comparing them with the expected golden output. | |
295 | ||
296 | ||

297 | E2fsprogs 1.43 (May 17, 2016) |
298 | ============================= | |
cf3c2cce | 299 | |
cffde037 TT |
300 | Add support for the ext4 metadata checksum, checksum seed, inline |
301 | data, encryption, project quota, and read-only features. | |
302 | ||
303 | Support for the very old, experimental, and never-added-to-mainline | |
304 | compression feature has been removed. | |
99336932 TT |
305 | |
306 | Mke2fs will now create file systems with the metadata_csum and 64bit | |
307 | features enabled by default. | |
308 | ||
3de98432 TT |
309 | The mke2fs program will now support multiple -O options (instead of |
310 | just ignoring all but the last -O option). | |
311 | ||
312 | Mke2fs will now correctly determine the size of a file system and | |
313 | handle the discard operation correctly when the "-E offset=NNN" is | |
314 | used. (Addresses Debian Bug: #803629) | |
315 | ||
cffde037 TT |
316 | The tune2fs program will ask the user for confirmation before starting |
317 | dangerous operations if the terminal is available, and it will replay | |
318 | the journal if necessary. | |
319 | ||
320 | Add an ext2/3/4 FUSE server | |
99336932 TT |
321 | |
322 | Debugfs can now modify extended attributes and journal transactions. | |
323 | ||
cffde037 TT |
324 | Debugfs now can properly display and set extended timestamps. |
325 | ||
526f554c TT |
326 | E2fsck will offer to fix extended timestamps that were incorrectly |
327 | encoded by older kernels. | |
328 | ||
cffde037 TT |
329 | Fix miscellaneous MMP bugs in debugfs. |
330 | ||
3de98432 TT |
331 | Fix sparse_super2 bugs in mke2fs and resize2fs. |
332 | ||
d6adf070 TT |
333 | Fix or improve offset support in mke2fs, e2undo, and libext2fs. |
334 | ||
99336932 TT |
335 | The resize2fs command can now convert file systems between 64-bit and |
336 | 32-bit mode. | |
337 | ||
3de98432 TT |
338 | Fix potential out-of-bounds memory access in resize2fs when doing a |
339 | large off-line file system grow operation. | |
340 | ||
99336932 TT |
341 | We now use a new e2undo file format which is much more efficient and |
342 | faster than the old tdb-based scheme. Since it so much faster, | |
343 | e2fsck, tune2fs, debugfs, and resize2fs now also can support using | |
344 | creating an undo file. | |
345 | ||
346 | The mke2fs command can now set the error behavior when initializing | |
347 | the file system (so the administrator doesn't have to issue a separate | |
348 | tune2fs -e command). | |
349 | ||
cffde037 TT |
350 | Teach mke2fs to parse a human-readable argument for -i option. |
351 | ||
352 | Teach mke2fs to automatically handle creating file systems > 500T by | |
353 | automatically enable the meta_bg feature. | |
354 | ||
355 | Mke2fs will now prompt for user verification before rewriting a file | |
356 | system's superblock using the -S option. | |
357 | ||
358 | Mke2fs no longer complains if the user tries to create a file system | |
359 | using the entire block device (e.g., without using a partition). The | |
360 | minor number convention is not used by all block devices, and it's | |
361 | quite normal in some circumstances to create a file system on /dev/sdc | |
362 | instead of /dev/sdc1. | |
363 | ||
364 | Fix an "mke2fs -d" bug which could create inodes with invalid | |
365 | extended attribute blocks | |
366 | ||
99336932 TT |
367 | E2fsck is now much more paranoid about not freeing or corrupting |
368 | critical metadata blocks, such as inode table blocks, even if | |
369 | corrupted indirect blocks or extent trees point at these blocks. | |
370 | ||
371 | E2fsck now prints block ranges in pass1b instead of listing all of the | |
372 | blocks exhaustively. | |
373 | ||
374 | E2fsck will try to expand the root directory if the lost+found can't | |
375 | be linked to the root directory. Also, offer to use the root | |
376 | directory if lost+found can't be created. | |
377 | ||
378 | E2fsck is now more paranoid handling corrupted extent trees as well as | |
379 | corrupted journals. | |
380 | ||
381 | E2fsck can now rebuild extent trees, either (a) to optimize them, (b) | |
382 | to recover from a corrupted extent tree, or (c) to convert | |
383 | block-mapped inodes to use extents. | |
384 | ||
385 | E2fsck now has a readahead mechanism which can significantly speed its | |
386 | performance, especially on RAID arrays. | |
387 | ||
388 | E2fsck now has a "yes to all" option which the user can give if she is | |
389 | tired of answering 'y' to a very large number of questions. | |
390 | ||
391 | E2fsck will now ignore the badblocks inode if the contents of the | |
392 | badblocks inode indicate that the portion inode table containing the | |
393 | badblocks inode is bad. (We must go deeper...) | |
394 | ||
395 | E2fsck can now correctly fix directory with holes on bigalloc file | |
396 | systems. | |
397 | ||
cffde037 TT |
398 | E2fsck will now check for extent mapped inodes with no extent header |
399 | and clear them if found. | |
400 | ||
401 | E2fsck now checks to make sure the extended attribute header doesn't | |
402 | result in the xattr extending beyond the bounds of the inode | |
403 | ||
99336932 TT |
404 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck to avoid overrunning a buffer containing jbd2 |
405 | revoke records if the journal is corrupted. | |
406 | ||
407 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could cause it loop forever if a special | |
408 | inode has too many invalid block mappings. | |
409 | ||
410 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could cause pass1b/c/d processing to get | |
411 | confused if an attempt to allocate a block can't find any free space | |
412 | in the file system. | |
413 | ||
414 | E2fsck will no longer try to force rewrite blocks located beyond the | |
415 | file system. | |
416 | ||
cffde037 TT |
417 | The e2fsck program will no longer update the quota inodes when it is |
418 | interrupted. | |
419 | ||
420 | Fix a bug which in rare cases would cause e2fsck -fD to corrupt an | |
421 | extent-mapped directory. | |
422 | ||
99336932 TT |
423 | Fixed a bug in resize2fs which could lead to resize2fs crashing or a |
424 | corrupted file system if the file system is almost completely full | |
425 | when trying grow a file system and we need to allocate blocks to grow | |
426 | the block group descriptors. | |
427 | ||
428 | Fixed a bug in resize2fs which could cause it to get fooled trying to | |
429 | determinthe the RAID array's stride when flex_bg is enabled. | |
430 | ||
cffde037 TT |
431 | Fix resize2fs bug that could leave block allocation bitmaps |
432 | uninitialized. | |
433 | ||
99336932 TT |
434 | The dumpe2fs output has been improved so it is cleaner and always fits |
435 | within 80 columns. Also added a more easily machine-parsable output | |
436 | of dumpe2fs. | |
437 | ||
438 | The mke2fs program can now pre-populate a file system from a directory | |
439 | hierarchy using the -d option. | |
440 | ||
441 | The mke2fs program now skips zeroing inode table blocks if they were | |
442 | already zeroed using the discard feature. | |
cf3c2cce TT |
443 | |
444 | Check to make sure file system features which can not be supported by | |
445 | HURD are not enabled if the file system is created to be | |
446 | HURD-compatible. | |
447 | ||
99336932 TT |
448 | Added a new e2fuzz command that will fuzz an ext4 image for testing |
449 | purposes. | |
450 | ||
451 | The debugfs logdump command can now deal with 64-bit revoke tables | |
452 | correctly. Also, "logdump -O" will print the old log contents (before | |
453 | the journal was replayed). | |
454 | ||
455 | The debugfs bmap command can now be used to set or allocate a physical | |
456 | block. | |
457 | ||
458 | Fixed a bug so "filefrag -B -e -v" does not return a separate entry | |
459 | for each block. | |

461 | The filefrag program now accounts for holes in sparse files created by |
462 | the file punch operation as an expected/optimal mapping. | |
463 | ||
99336932 TT |
464 | The file I/O functions now correctly handle inodes containing |
465 | uninitialized blocks. | |
466 | ||
467 | Fix a bug in tune2fs so that removing uninit_bg feature on a bigalloc | |
468 | file system won't result in corrupted block bitmaps. | |

481 | Reduce the use of libc functions in libext2fs that may not be present |
482 | in the boot loader environment, at least for those functions that are | |
483 | needed by boot loadsers such as yaboot. | |
484 | ||
99336932 TT |
485 | Developers can now overide the debugging and optimization flags by |
486 | redefining the CFLAGS makefile macro. | |
487 | ||
cffde037 TT |
488 | The libext2fs library now has support for fallocate. |
489 | ||
99336932 TT |
490 | The mke2fs command will now ask the user for confirmation if block |
491 | device or image file contains an existing file system image, and | |
492 | stdout and stdin are connected to a tty. | |
493 | ||
494 | The libext2fs library now picks a more intelligent goal block when | |
495 | doing block allocations. | |
496 | ||
497 | The libext2fs library will now automatically set the BLOCK_UNINT flag | |
498 | if all of the blocks in a block group are free, to speed up future | |
499 | e2fsck and dumpe2fs operations on the file system. | |
500 | ||
501 | Add two new functions ext2fs_new_range() and ext2fs_alloc_range() to | |
502 | libext2fs. | |
503 | ||
504 | The ext2fs_zero_blocks() command will use FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE for | |
505 | file-based images. | |
506 | ||
507 | The ext2fs_bmap() function supports new flags BMAP_UNINIT and | |
508 | BMAP_ZERO. | |
509 | ||
510 | The ext2fs_new_block2() function will now call the alloc_block hook | |
511 | before checking fs->block_map. | |
512 | ||
cf3c2cce TT |
513 | Support for the MMP feature can now be disabled at compile time. |
514 | ||
99336932 TT |
515 | Added support to manipulate extended attributes to libext2fs. |
516 | ||
517 | Added a lot of new regression tests. | |

519 | Added endian annotations so it's possible to scan e2fsprogs for endian | |
520 | problems using a static code analyzer. | |
521 | ||
522 | Fixed memory leaks in libext2fs. | |
523 | ||
524 | The e2fsck jbd2 handling code has been resynced with the 3.16 kernel. | |
525 | There is now a script in the contrib directory which automates most of | |
526 | the resync process. | |
527 | ||
528 | The build system will now run cppcheck (a static code analysis tool) | |
529 | via "make C=1" | |

532 | E2fsprogs 1.42.13 (May 17, 2015) |
533 | ================================ | |
534 | ||
535 | Fixed a potential buffer overflow while closing a file system in | |
536 | libext2fs. (CVE-2015-1572, Addresses Debian Bug: #778948) | |
537 | ||
538 | Fixed a bug which could cause e2fsck to corrupt Hurd file systems. | |
539 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #760275) | |
540 | ||
541 | Fixed a deadlock which occurs when using systemd and e2fsck.conf's | |
542 | logging feature. (Addresses Debian Bug: #775234) | |
543 | ||
544 | Fixed a bug which could cause programs using libext2's inode table | |
545 | scanning functions from crashing on certain corrupted file systems. | |
546 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #773795) | |
547 | ||
548 | Fixed dumpe2fs so it won't crash if the user doesn't specify a block | |
549 | device (file system). (Addresses Debian Bug: #764293) | |
550 | ||
551 | Fixed e2fsck so if it notices unexpected HTREE blocks in pass 2, it | |
552 | will report the correct directory inode containing the inconsistency. | |
553 | ||
554 | If e2fsck fails to grow the dir_info structure due realloc(3) not | |
555 | having enough memory, it will now fail with explanatory message | |
556 | instead of staggering on failing with a confusing internal error | |
557 | messages. | |
558 | ||
559 | The tune2fs program will zero out the superblock journal backup | |
560 | information when removing a journal from a file system. | |
561 | ||
562 | The mke2fs program now enables the large_file feature by default. | |
563 | ||
564 | Fixed a bug which could cause badblocks to crash if there are millions | |
565 | and millions of bad blocks. | |
566 | ||
567 | Fixed some use-after-free bug in resize2fs and e2fsck. | |
568 | ||
569 | Fixed a memory leak in tune2fs. | |
570 | ||
571 | Fixed some bigendian bugs that had crept into both indirect and extent | |
572 | handling inside libext2fs. | |
573 | ||
574 | Updated/fixed various man pages. | |
575 | ||
576 | Update Esperanto, German, and Spanish translations. Added Danish | |
577 | translation. | |
578 | ||
579 | Programmer's Notes | |
580 | ------------------ | |
581 | ||
582 | Fixed coverity, sparce gcc -Wall, and clang warnings/nits. | |
583 | ||
584 | Clean up some build system problems (build failures with various | |
585 | configure options, fix Posix portability issues, etc.) | |
586 | ||
587 | The functions ext2fs_inode_alloc_stats[2]() and | |
588 | ext2fs_block_alloc_stats[2]() now check the inode and block numbers | |
589 | passed to them, to avoid crashes caused by buggy callers. | |
590 | ||
591 | The libext2fs directory iterator will now check for an invalid | |
592 | directory entry length instead of possibly walking off the end of the | |
593 | directory buffer. | |

596 | E2fsprogs 1.42.12 (August 25, 2014) |
597 | =================================== | |
598 | ||
599 | Fix various e2fsck bugs when trying to repair bigalloc file systems. | |
600 | ||
601 | E2fsck can now repair a file system with an overly large | |
602 | s_first_meta_bg field, which had previously caused all e2fsprogs | |
603 | programs to crash when trying to open such a file system. | |
604 | ||
605 | Fix e2fsck so that it can correctly fix a number of rare file system | |
606 | corruptions that were discovered when using a file system fuzzer. | |
607 | ||
608 | Fix e2fsck so it does not try to write back block group descriptors if | |
609 | they have not been modified. | |
610 | ||
611 | Mke2fs program will now place metadata blocks in the last flex_bg so | |
612 | they are contiguous. This reduces free space fragmentation in a | |
613 | freshly created file system, as well as allowing mke2fs commands which | |
614 | request extremely large flex_bg size to succeed. | |
615 | ||
616 | Mke2fs now creates hugefiles more efficiently (with fewer extent tree | |
617 | blocks). | |
618 | ||
619 | Fix a 32/64-bit overflow bug that could cause resize2fs to loop | |
620 | forever. (Addresses-Launchpad-Bug: #1321958) | |
621 | ||
622 | The resize2fs program will now use much less memory when resizing very | |
623 | large file systems. | |
624 | ||
625 | Fix a bug which could cause resize2fs to get confused and produce a | |
626 | corrupted file system when shrinking a file system that had been | |
627 | previously expanded and converted to use the meta_bg file system | |
628 | format, but which no longer needs to use the meta_bg file system | |
629 | format any longer. This typically happened with large (> 16TB) file | |
630 | systems. (Addresses Debian Bug: #756922) | |
631 | ||
632 | The e4defrag program will now defrag backwards-allocated files. | |
633 | ||
634 | Fix tune2fs updating UUID's when manipulating file systems with | |
635 | external journals (both the file system and journal UUID). | |
636 | ||
637 | Fix tune2fs so it can remove an external journal for file systems with | |
638 | a 1k block size. | |
639 | ||
640 | Add a new debugfs command, "inode_dump", which prints the inode in hex | |
641 | and ASCII format. | |
642 | ||
643 | The debugfs's "set_inode_field" will now automatically allocate blocks | |
644 | for indirect blocks and extent tree blocks. | |
645 | ||
646 | Fix debugfs's "set_inode_field" so can properly handle | |
647 | "block[IND|DIND|TIND]". | |
648 | ||
649 | The debugfs "rdump" command will now take multiple source arguments. | |
650 | ||
651 | Fixed a double close(2) bug in "rdump" and "rdump -p". | |
652 | ||
653 | Fix debugfs's argument parsing for the freefrag command. | |
654 | ||
655 | Fix filefrag to properly handle using the FIBMAP ioctl (with -B). | |
656 | (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #1356496) | |
657 | ||
658 | Clarified messages that were confusing users in debugfs, e2fsck, | |
659 | mke2fs, and resize2fs (Addresses Debian Bugs: #758029, #757543, | |
660 | #757544) | |
661 | ||
662 | Dumpe2fs will now complain if extra arguments are given to it. | |
663 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #758074) | |
664 | ||
665 | Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses-Debian-Bug: #726760) | |
666 | ||

669 | |
670 | Programmer's Notes | |
671 | ------------------ | |
672 | ||
673 | The Unix I/O layer will now use pread[64]/pwrite[64] to reduce the | |
674 | number of system calls issued. | |
675 | ||
676 | Fixed profiled build. | |
677 | ||
678 | The libext2fs library will now more efficiently split an extent tree | |
679 | index block when appending to an end of a file. | |
680 | ||
681 | Fixed free block accounting for 64-bit file systems. | |
682 | ||
683 | Add a new function ext2s_inode_size_set() which takes care of all of | |
684 | the required feature flag modifications. | |
685 | ||
686 | The regression tests no longer require the presence of the md5sum | |
687 | program. | |
688 | ||
689 | Fix build failure on MIPS platforms on Debian (Addresses Debian Bug: | |
690 | #754605) | |

de25d9c8 TT |
695 | E2fsprogs 1.42.11 (July 9, 2014) |
696 | ================================ | |
697 | ||
698 | Add support so that mke2fs can create hugefiles so that they are | |
699 | aligned relative to the beginning of the disk, instead of relative to | |
700 | the beginning of the partition, using the mke2fs.conf configuration | |
701 | parameter "hugefiles_align_disk". | |
702 | ||
703 | Fix a bug which causes e2fsck to abort a journal replay on a file | |
704 | system with bigalloc enabled. (Addresses Debian Bug: #744953) | |
705 | ||
706 | Add sanity checks so that mke2fs will refuse insanely large flex_bg | |
707 | counts specified by the -G option. Insanely large flex_bg sizes can | |
708 | result in a file system which can't be unmounted, or with extremely | |
709 | pessimal metadata layouts. | |
710 | ||
711 | The mke2fs program will provide a better metadata layout for | |
712 | moderately large (but believable) flex_bg counts, such as 133,072. | |
713 | ||
714 | The mke2fs progam will also check the kernel version number to | |
715 | determine whether the lazy_itable_init option is supported, so that | |
716 | lazy inode table initialization can be used even if the ext4 is | |
717 | compiled as a module which isn't loaded at the time that mke2fs is | |
718 | run. | |
719 | ||
720 | Add description of ext4's mount options to the ext4 section 5 man | |
721 | page. | |
722 | ||
723 | Improve the chattr man page and clean up the chattr usage message. | |
724 | ||
725 | E2fsck will now automatically fix a last mount time or last write time | |
726 | which is in the future in preen mode, instead of aborting the fsck | |
727 | check. | |
728 | ||
729 | Mke2fs will now check the file system revision number requested by the | |
730 | command line, and reject it if it is too large. A file system with an | |
731 | unsupported revision number will not be accepted by any of the other | |
732 | file system tools, and this command line option is rarely used, so | |
733 | let's try to help the user not shoot their own foot off. | |
734 | ||
735 | The debugfs progam can now set the error count and associated | |
736 | first_error and last_error fields in the superblock using the | |
737 | set_super_value command. | |
738 | ||
739 | Resize2fs will not try to calculate the minimum size of a file system | |
740 | if it contains errors. Otherwise a very badly corrupted file system | |
741 | image can cause the minimum size calculation to loop forwever. Since | |
742 | resize2fs will not allow a file system marked as containing errors to | |
743 | be resized. It's pointless to calculate the minimum size, so just | |
744 | skip it. | |
745 | ||
746 | Fixed a typo in one of mke2fs's error message. | |
747 | ||
748 | If filefrag runs into an error, it will continue processing the rest | |
749 | of the files specified on thec ommand line, but then exit with an | |
750 | error code. | |
751 | ||
752 | Filefrag now prints some additional new flags (such as | |
753 | FIEMAP_EXTENT_ENCODED), and print unknown flags as hex values. | |
754 | ||
755 | Fixed support in filefrag for files with > 2**32 blocks on 32-bit | |
756 | platforms. | |
757 | ||
758 | Fixed a file descriptor leak in debugfs when copying files. | |
759 | ||
760 | Fixed a regression introduced in 1.42.10 which caused mke2fs to fail | |
761 | to create file systems larger than 2GB on 32-bit platforms. | |
762 | (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #1099892, Debian Bug: #752107) | |
763 | ||
764 | Add Esparanto and Ukrainian translations, and update Czech, Dutch, | |
765 | French, German, Italian, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese | |
766 | translations. | |
767 | ||
768 | Fixed various compiler warnings. | |
769 | ||
770 | ||
771 | Programmer's Notes | |
772 | ------------------ | |
773 | ||
774 | The gcc "-checker" option has been long deprecated, so remove support | |
775 | from e2fsprogs. It was causing a few people to be confused when they | |
776 | tried enabling the configure option. | |
777 | ||
778 | Update to the latest version of the config.status and config.rpath | |
779 | files, as well as newer versions of the autoconf files in aclocal.m4. | |
780 | Also, move the e2fsprogs-specific macros to acinclude.m4, which allows | |
781 | people who want to use autoreconf to do so. | |
782 | ||
783 | Make the use of strptime() function in debugfs to be more portable to | |
784 | fix regression test failures for FreeBSD and MacOS. | |
785 | ||
786 | A few miscellaneous changes designed to make life easier for | |
787 | translators. | |
788 | ||
789 | Fix the f_quota test and some Makefile dependencies if quota support | |
790 | is not enabled. | |
791 | ||
792 | Fix cross-compilation support, which got broken in 1.42.10. | |
793 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #753375) | |
794 | ||
795 | Delete lib/ext2_types.h on a make clean, and build it as necessary. | |
796 | ||
797 | Add a debug program used for libext2fs unit tests. | |
798 | ||
799 | Clean up the tests so that it avoids using GNU-specific behaviour in | |
800 | mktemp. Make sure the temporary files are cleaned up if the tests are | |
801 | interrupted. | |
802 | ||
803 | Add a new ext2fs_close_free() helper function which automatically | |
804 | takes care of freeing the ext2_filsys structure even if ext2fs_close() | |
805 | returns an error. | |
806 | ||
807 | ||
9779e296 TT |
808 | E2fsprogs 1.42.10 (May 18, 2014) |
809 | ================================ | |
810 | ||
811 | Mke2fs now creates file systems in regular files (which is very often | |
812 | used when maintaining virtual machine images) without requiring the | |
813 | user to use the force option. In addition, the mke2fs output has been | |
814 | made much less verbose and only displays information that users will | |
815 | be more likely to find useful by default. | |
816 | ||
817 | Mke2fs now will ask the user to confirm that they want to continue | |
818 | before wiping out a pre-existing file system, partition table, or LVM | |
819 | physical volume. | |
820 | ||
821 | Mke2fs now has the ability to create file systems where all the | |
822 | metadata is located at the very beginning of the device. This can be | |
823 | useful for flash devices which have SLC flash at the beginning of the | |
824 | disk, for FAT compatibility, for example. As part of this, mke2fs and | |
825 | tune2fs can control the location of the data blocks used by the | |
826 | journal inode. In addition, the new sparse_super2 feature allows for | |
827 | even fewer (anywhere from zero to two) backup superblocks. | |
828 | ||
829 | Mke2fs now uses much less CPU when allocating the blocks used for very | |
830 | large file systems. | |
831 | ||
832 | Mke2fs can now support creating a file system at an offset. This can | |
833 | be useful when creating a disk image for virtual machines (Addresses | |
834 | Debian Bug: #497984) | |
835 | ||
836 | Previously, e2fsck had a number of very serious bugs when checking a | |
837 | file system wich used the new the quota file system option (where the | |
838 | quota inodes were stored in hidden inodes) and the quota inode was | |
839 | inconsistent with the actual usage data. This problem was documented | |
840 | in https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Quota. These problems have | |
841 | been fixed in 1.42.10, so the quota should be safe to use with | |
842 | e2fsprogs 1.42.10. | |
843 | ||
844 | Fixed in a bug in resize2fs which could cause shrink operation fail in | |
845 | the unlikely situation when the inode table needs to be moved to a | |
846 | location before the current location. | |
847 | ||
848 | Resize2fs now has a much more accurate (and less conservative) | |
849 | estimation of how far the file system can be shrunk. This allows a | |
850 | mostly empty filesystem which is a few terabytes, to be shrunk to a | |
851 | few megabytes in a single resize2fs -M operation. | |
852 | ||
853 | E2fsck will now force a full file system check if there are any file | |
854 | system inconsistencies detected in the super block. | |
855 | ||
856 | The filefrag program will now display hte shared extent flag, which is | |
857 | used by file systems such as btrfs. | |
858 | ||
859 | If the number of inodes in the file systems is larger than the time | |
860 | that file sytem was created (as measured by the number of seconds | |
861 | since January 1, 1970) e2fsck would print a scary (but otherwise | |
862 | harmless) warning of file system corruption for each inode in the | |
863 | orphan list. This false positive has been fixed. | |
864 | ||
865 | The e4defrag program has been fixed so it will no longer refuse with | |
866 | filesystem with the 64-bit or the bigalloc feature enabled. | |
867 | ||
868 | The logsave progam will print a much less scary message which could | |
869 | lead users to believe something has gone very wrong with e2fsck exits | |
870 | with a non-zero exit status (since this is normal after e2fsck has | |
871 | automatically fixed a file system corruption during a preen | |
872 | operation). (Addresses Debian Bug: #468821) | |
873 | ||
874 | When creating a file system which is larger than 16TB, the | |
875 | resize_inode option must be disabled -- since the resize_inode simply | |
876 | doesn't support reserving metadata block numbers which is larger than | |
877 | 32 bits. The mke2fs program does this automatically if the file | |
878 | system size is determined automatically. It will now also do this if | |
879 | the file size is specified explicitly. | |
880 | ||
881 | Fixed bugs associated with resize2fs and shrinking bigalloc file | |
882 | systems. | |
883 | ||
884 | The e2fsck program will no longer try to add a UUID on a mounted file | |
885 | system with checksums enabled, since this could leave the file system | |
886 | checksums broken. | |
887 | ||
888 | Tune2fs will allow the removal of an external journal from file system | |
889 | which is marked as needing the journal replayed when the force ("-f") | |
890 | option is given twice. (Addresses Debian Bug: #559301) | |
891 | ||
892 | Tune2fs will no longer support enabling sparse_super if the meta_bg | |
893 | file system feature is enabled, since it could result in data loss. | |
894 | In practice, all modern file systems have sparse_super is enabled, so | |
895 | it's not worth trying to change how tune2fs handles enabling the | |
896 | sparse_super feature. | |
897 | ||
898 | Fixed support for 1k block file systems with the meta_bg feature. | |
899 | ||
900 | When the superblock is corrupt, e2fsck can't figure out the location | |
901 | of the alternate superblock. Unfortunately, the routine that | |
902 | calculates the location of the alternate superblock uses 8193 if it | |
903 | can't figure this out, so the message printed by e2fsck always | |
904 | suggests using "e2fsck -b 8193". This message has been fixed to | |
905 | suggest both the superblock location of 8193 and and 32768. | |
906 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #719185) | |
907 | ||
908 | The lookback mount detection code that was introduced in 1.42.9 wasn't | |
909 | actually compiled in due to an autoconf oops, so it's fixed now in | |
910 | 1.42.10. (Addresses Debian Bug: #497984) | |
911 | ||
912 | A bug introduced in 1.42.9 would cause debugfs to print two error | |
913 | messages if it found an error while parsing a user-supplied block | |
914 | number. This has been fixed in 1.42.10. | |
915 | ||
916 | Update Czech, Dutch, French, German, Polish, Spanish, Sweedish, and | |
917 | Vietnamese translations. (Addresses Debian Bug: #703048) | |

925 | Programmer's Notes | |
926 | ------------------ | |
927 | ||
928 | Fixed a lot of coverity, sparce gcc -Wall, and clang warnings/nits. | |
929 | ||
930 | Allow the location of pkg-config files to be specified independent of | |
931 | the libdir location via a makefile variable. | |
932 | ||
933 | Fixed parse-types.sh not to complain when cross-compiling and the | |
934 | sizes of types are different between the target architecture and the | |
935 | architecture of the build system | |
936 | ||
937 | Allow the regression test suite to work correctly on systems which do | |
938 | not have the "truncate" or "mksawp" programs. | |
939 | ||
940 | Allow e2fsck to build correctly on systems (such as Android) that do | |
941 | not have the signal.h file. | |
942 | ||
943 | E2fsprogs now has code coverage testing which can be enbled using | |
944 | "configure --enable-gcov". | |
945 | ||
946 | The libe2p.h header file can now be used included by C++ programs. | |
947 | ||
948 | The profile/config file used by e2fsck and mke2fs will interpret | |
949 | numbers with a leading 0 character to mean that they should be | |
950 | interpreted as an octal integer. | |
951 | ||
952 | The extent handling functions in libext2fs have been improved so they | |
953 | have proper rollback when there is an error splitting an extent. Also | |
954 | fix a number of bugs when punching holes in files, and fix an | |
955 | off-by-one bug when inserting an extent into an empty inode. | |
956 | ||
957 | The libext2fs library now handles the support of BLOCK_UNINIT by | |
958 | clearing the portion of block bitmap when it is loaded, instead of | |
959 | when it is used. This reduces the chances of bugs, and and simplifies | |
960 | the code. It also means that debugfs will properly show that blocks | |
961 | in uninitialized block groups as being unused when using the testb | |
962 | command. | |
963 | ||
964 | The e4defrag program will try to use fadvise64 or posix_fadvise64() if | |
965 | it is present, which allows 64-bit offsets on 32-bit systems. | |
966 | ||
967 | ||
036a8471 TT |
968 | E2fsprogs 1.42.9 (December 28, 2013) |
969 | ==================================== | |
970 | ||
971 | Mke2fs will detect an attempt to create a file system on a loop | |
972 | mounted file and complain without the -FF option. Also fixed mke2fs | |
973 | so it allows the creation of a file system on a mounted device with | |
974 | two -F options, as documented in the man page, instead of three -F | |
975 | options. | |
976 | ||
977 | Fixed a large number of bugs in resize2fs, e2fsck, debugfs, and | |
978 | libext2fs to correctly handle bigalloc and 64-bit file systems. There | |
979 | were many corner cases that had not been noticed in previous uses of | |
980 | these file systems, since they are not as common. Some of the bugs | |
981 | could cause file system corruption or data loss, so users of 64-bit or | |
982 | bigalloc file systems are strongly urged to upgrade to e2fsprogs | |
983 | 1.42.9. | |
984 | ||
985 | The tune2fs program will now not allow changing the uuid on a mounted | |
986 | file system which has the uninit_bg feature enabled. This avoids a | |
987 | nasty race where the kernel and tune2fs are both retrying rewrite the | |
988 | group descriptors at the same time, with different ideas about what | |
989 | the UUID should be. | |
990 | ||
991 | When e2fsck is rehashing an extent-mapped directory, it's possible | |
992 | (although very rare) that an extent block will need to be allocated; | |
993 | fix e2fsck to make sure that the block gets marked as used. | |
994 | ||
995 | Mke2fs will now properly set the LARGE_FILE feature when creating a | |
996 | journal >= 2GB --- which can happen when using 64k block size. | |
997 | ||
998 | Fixed debugfs so that its freei command will correctly handle a request | |
999 | to free a range of consecutive inodes. | |
1000 | ||
1001 | Fixed 2fsck so it will not erroneously complain that an external journal | |
1002 | is invalid if it is exactly 2**32 blocks. | |
1003 | ||
1004 | Fixed e2fsck so it won't try checking for, and adding, a missing | |
1005 | lost+found directory when running in read-only mode. | |
1006 | ||
3de98432 TT |
1007 | Fixed e2image so that progress information won't get leaked to stdout. |
1008 | (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #1327329) | |
1009 | ||
036a8471 TT |
1010 | Fixed e2image to avoid some buffer overruns which would cause it to when |
1011 | creating a "standard (non-raw, non-qcow2) image file. Standard | |
1012 | e2image files are actually very rarely used, so we didn't notice when | |
1013 | the changes to enable the qcow2 format broke this e2image mode. | |
1014 | ||
1015 | Fixed mke2fs so that the extended option "-E resize=NNN" will not turn | |
1016 | on the resize_inode feature when the meta_bg feature is set, since | |
1017 | these two features can not be set at the same time. | |
1018 | ||
1019 | Fixed tune2fs so that when it disables the quota feature, it updates all | |
1020 | of the backup superblocks. | |
1021 | ||
1022 | Fixed dumpe2fs that would cause it to abort when run using an image file | |
1023 | when trying to print the journal information (which is not present in | |
1024 | an e2image created image file). | |
1025 | ||
1026 | Fixed a potential integer overflow in e2reefrag. | |
1027 | (Addresses-Debian-Bug: #718205) | |
1028 | ||
1029 | Enhance debugfs so that when copying a sparse file from a native file | |
1030 | system into the file system image using the "write" command, it will | |
1031 | create a sparse file into the destination file system. | |
1032 | ||
1033 | Enhanced debugfs so it can support a command line which is up to 8k | |
1034 | long. | |
1035 | ||
1036 | E2image will refuse (unless the -f option is specified to force the | |
1037 | issue) to create a raw or qcow image using a mounted file system, | |
1038 | unless the -f option is specified to force the issue. | |
1039 | ||
1040 | E2image has been optimized for using it to efficiently copy a file | |
1041 | system by only copying the allocated blocks, by using the options -ra. | |
1042 | New options (-o and -O) have been added so that a source and | |
1043 | destination offset can be given. The -p option will print progress | |
1044 | information so the user will know how far along the copy is going. | |
1045 | And finally, the new option -c is useful for updating a file system on | |
1046 | an SSD, by avoiding unnecessary writes. E2image can also shift a file | |
1047 | system image by doing an in place move. | |
1048 | ||
1049 | Fix a regression introduced in 1.42.8 which would cause e2fsck to | |
1050 | erroneously report uninitialized extents past the EOF (as determined by | |
1051 | i_size) to be invalid. | |
1052 | ||
1053 | Fixed resize2fs so under a corner case when an inode has a complex | |
1054 | extent tree, it will not corrupt an interior node in the extent tree. | |
1055 | ||
1056 | Fixed resize2fs which would sometimes corrupt a file system when | |
1057 | shrinking a file system to a minimum size using resize2fs -M. | |
1058 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #660793) | |
1059 | ||
1060 | Fixed resize2fs so that it will relocate inode table blocks if this | |
1061 | becomes necessary when shrinking the file system. | |
1062 | ||
1063 | Fixed resize2fs and e2fsck so they will not crash when hit a failure | |
1064 | while operating on a file system with the MMP feature enabled. | |
1065 | ||
1066 | Fixed a bug in debugfs which caused it create an invalid inode when | |
1067 | trying to write a zero-length file. | |
1068 | ||
1069 | E2fsck will no longer crash if it tries to delete an invalid | |
1070 | extent-mapped symlink. | |
1071 | ||
1072 | E2fsck will no longer crash if it comes across an directory which is | |
1073 | larger than 2GB (which is not allowed in valid file systems). | |
1074 | ||
1075 | Fixed debugfs's help texts to fully document all options and otherwise | |
1076 | be more helpful. | |
1077 | ||
1078 | Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #586218, | |
1079 | #669730, #698076) | |
1080 | ||
1081 | Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues (#698879, #721365) | |
1082 | ||
1083 | ||
1084 | Programmer's Notes | |
1085 | ------------------ | |
1086 | ||
1087 | Fix sparse, gcc -Wall and clang nits. | |
1088 | ||
1089 | Update config.{guess,sub} to the latest version | |
1090 | ||
1091 | Fixed various memory and file descriptor leaks on various error paths, | |
1092 | as well as some missing error return checks, which were found using | |
1093 | Coverity. | |
1094 | ||
1095 | Run sparse against source files when building e2fsprogs with 'make | |
1096 | C=1'. If instead C=2, it configures basic ext2 types for bitwise | |
1097 | checking with sparse, which can help find the (many many) spots where | |
1098 | conversion errors are (possibly) happening. | |
1099 | ||
1100 | Allow the regression test to be run in chrooted environments where | |
1101 | /etc/mtab might be missing. | |
1102 | ||
1103 | The ext2fs_punch() function, which was introduced in 1.42, was broken | |
1104 | in many ways, but this was never noticed since it wasn't used for | |
1105 | anything significant. Some of the bugs include failing when trying to | |
1106 | punch a completely sparse file, failing when punching an extent-mapped | |
1107 | inode when the starting block was at the beginning of the inode, and | |
1108 | not being able to punch a single block (where start_blk == end_block). | |
1109 | It also didn't handle being passed an invalid, too-large ending block | |
1110 | number, and didn't handle properly terminate at the right place when | |
1111 | operating on an indirect-mapped inode. | |
1112 | ||
1113 | Fixed some minor typo's in the error catalog for libext2fs. | |
1114 | ||
1115 | Fixed ext2fs_file_set_size2() so that if it truncates an inode by | |
1116 | setting the file size, to zero the rest of the block to the end of the | |
1117 | file, so that if an ext4 FUSE driver tries to extended the file, that | |
1118 | we don't avoid stale data from being returned. | |
1119 | ||
1120 | Fixed ext2fs_bmap() to disallow clients from trying to map or set | |
1121 | logical blocks which are larger than what an extent-mapped or indirect | |
1122 | block-mapped inode can allow. | |
1123 | ||
1124 | If debugfs (or some userspace program using libext2fs) creates a file | |
1125 | which is larger than 2GB, make sure the large_file feature flag gets | |
1126 | set. | |
1127 | ||
1128 | Fix a bug in ext2fs_link() where if there is multiple empty slots in the | |
1129 | directory which are large enough, the directory entry could get | |
1130 | inserted more than once in the directory. | |
1131 | ||
1132 | If quota support is disabled (which is the default), make sure that | |
1133 | all traces of the quota support is removed from usage messages, man | |
1134 | pages, and tune2fs must not be able to enable the quota file system | |
1135 | feature. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #1010709) | |
1136 | ||
1137 | The ext2fs_file_write() now updates i_size on a successful write, | |
1138 | instead of only updating i_size wen the file is closed via | |
1139 | ext2fs_file_close(). | |
1140 | ||
1141 | Added a shell script, populate-extfs.sh which uses debugfs to populate | |
1142 | an ext2/3/4 file system image from a given directory. It is similar | |
1143 | to the genext2fs program, but it supports ext3 and ext4 file system. | |
1144 | ||
1145 | Add changes to the libext2fs library to support block group | |
1146 | descriptors larger than 64 bytes (for future compatibility). | |
1147 | ||
1148 | Fixed an off-by-one bug in ext2fs_file_set_size2() so that it will not | |
1149 | leave an extra block in the file when truncating the file down to | |
1150 | size. | |
1151 | ||
1152 | The html version info pages are now built using makeinfo --html | |
1153 | instead of the unmaintained and now-obsolete texi2html program. | |
1154 | ||

6e2393fd TT |
1157 | ================================ |
1158 | ||
1159 | As a part of mke2fs's option parsing cleanup, the use of the -R option | |
1160 | will give a warning that it is depreated (it has been so documented | |
1161 | since 2005) and -E should be used instead. | |
1162 | ||
1163 | Mke2fs will not give warnings about the bigalloc and quota options in | |
1164 | quiet mode. | |
1165 | ||
05958122 TT |
1166 | If an invalid journal size is given to mke2fs, it will now complain |
1167 | and exit sooner. | |
1168 | ||
6e2393fd TT |
1169 | Debugfs was erroneously giving spurious error messages for certain |
1170 | extent_inode subcommands which take arguments (split_node, | |
1171 | replace_node, and insert_node). This has been fixed. | |
1172 | ||
1173 | Fix the parsing of the 's' (sectors) in parse_num_blocks2, which among | |
1174 | other programs is used by mke2fs. | |
1175 | ||
1176 | Change mke2fs so that it does not set the root directory to the real | |
1177 | uid/gid of the mke2fs process. Add the extended option root_owner to | |
1178 | override this behavior. | |
1179 | ||
05958122 TT |
1180 | Fix resize2fs when shrinking file systems to make sure that bitmap |
1181 | blocks aren't left outside the bounds of the shrunken file system. | |
1182 | This could happen with flex_bg file systems that were grown using | |
1183 | the old online resizing algorithm. | |
1184 | ||
6e2393fd TT |
1185 | E2fsck will now detect and repair corrupted extent trees which contain |
1186 | invalid extents at the end of the extent tree leaf block. | |
1187 | ||
1188 | E2fsck will now longer complain about zero length extended attribute | |
1189 | values. | |
1190 | ||
1191 | Fix a regression introduced in e2fsprogs v1.42 which caused e2image -s | |
1192 | to crash. | |
1193 | ||
1194 | Add safety check so tune2fs will not attempt to set the inode size to | |
1195 | be larger than the block size. | |
1196 | ||
1197 | Fix e2fsck so it can check a read-only root file system with an | |
1198 | external journal. (Addresses Debian Bug: #707030 | |
1199 | ||
1200 | Fix off-line resizing of file systems with flex_bg && !resize_inode | |

1203 | Fix e2image with large (> 32-bit) file systems (Addresses Debian Bug: | |
1204 | #703067) | |
1205 | ||
1206 | Enhance chattr to allow clearing the extent flag if the kernel allows | |
1207 | migrating extent based files to use indirect blocks. | |
1208 | ||
1209 | Update German translation. | |
1210 | ||

1216 | Programmer's Notes | |
1217 | ------------------ | |
1218 | ||
1219 | Use secure_getenv() in preference to __secure_getenv(). | |
1220 | ||
1221 | Optimize CPU utilization of ext2fs_bg_has_super(). | |
1222 | ||
1223 | Fix ext2fs_llseek() on 32-bit i386 systems to work correctly when | |
1224 | SEEK_CUR is used with large files. | |
1225 | ||
1226 | The ext2fs_read_inode_full() function will no longer use | |
1227 | fs->read_inode() if the caller has requested more than the base 128 | |
1228 | byte inode structure and the inode size is greater than 128 bytes. | |
1229 | ||
1230 | Fix build failure with --enable-jbd-debug. | |
1231 | ||
1232 | Clean up filtering of outputs for the regression tests by using a | |
1233 | common sed script. | |

8359f626 | 1239 | =================================== |
73c427d2 | 1240 | |
511ba985 TT |
1241 | Add warnings to mke2fs, resize2fs, and tune2fs that the bigalloc and |
1242 | quota features are still under development. For more information | |
1243 | please see: | |
1244 | * https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Bigalloc | |
1245 | * https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Quota | |
1246 | ||
73c427d2 TT |
1247 | Add some new options to filefrag from Lustre's patches to e2fsprogs: |
1248 | * add -k option to print extents in kB-sized units (like df -k) | |
1249 | * add -b {blocksize} to print extents in blocksize units | |
1250 | * add -e option to print extent format, even when FIBMAP is used | |
1251 | * add -X option to print extents in hexadecimal format | |
1252 | ||
1253 | Fix resize2fs so that it can handle off-line resizes of file systems | |
1254 | with the flex_bg feature but without a resize_inode (or if we run out | |
1255 | of reserved gdt blocks). This also fixes a problem where if the user | |
1256 | creates a filesystem with a restricted number of reserved gdt blocks, | |
1257 | an off-line resize which grows the file system could potentially | |
1258 | result in file system corruption. | |
1259 | ||
511ba985 TT |
1260 | Fix a resize2fs bug which could cause it to corrupt bigalloc file |
1261 | systems when doing an off-line resize. | |
1262 | ||
8359f626 TT |
1263 | Further optimize resize2fs so it doesn't use quite as much CPU when |
1264 | resizing very large file systems. | |
1265 | ||
1266 | Fixed 32-bit overflow bugs which could cause resize2fs to fail and | |
1267 | possibly corrupt the file system while resizing 64-bit file systems. | |
1268 | ||
73c427d2 TT |
1269 | Fix a bug in mke2fs where parsing "-E resize=NNN" will result in a |
1270 | mke2fs crash due to a divide-by-zero if the 64bit file system feature | |
1271 | is enabled. | |
1272 | ||
8359f626 TT |
1273 | Add better error checking to mke2fs to check for invalid parameters |
1274 | when creating bigalloc file system. | |
1275 | ||
1276 | When creating bigalloc filesystems, the -g option to mke2fs will now | |
1277 | specify the number of clusters per block group. | |
1278 | ||
73c427d2 TT |
1279 | Add to debugfs the functionality to corrupt a specific file system |
1280 | block via the "zap_block" command. | |
1281 | ||
1282 | Add to debugfs the functionality to print out a hex dump of a block in | |
1283 | the file system via the "block_dump" command. | |
1284 | ||
1285 | Add to debugfs the functionality to manipulate the extent tree | |
1286 | directly via the "extent_open" command. | |
1287 | ||
8359f626 TT |
1288 | Fixed debugfs's mknod command so that it updates the block group |
1289 | statistics. | |
1290 | ||
73c427d2 TT |
1291 | Fix e2fsck so it can detect and fix inconsistencies in the interior |
1292 | nodes of an inode's extent tree. | |
1293 | ||
8359f626 TT |
1294 | Fix a potential memory corruption failure in e2fsck's error path if |
1295 | the call to ext2fs_open2() fails. | |
1296 | ||
1297 | Fix e2fsck if its logging function is enabled in e2fsck.conf, and the | |
1298 | resulting file name for the log file is longer than 100 bytes, that it | |
1299 | properly handles this situation instead of crashing. | |
1300 | ||
1301 | E2fsck will now report the amount of memory that it attempted to | |
1302 | allocate when a memory allocation request fails, to make it easier to | |
1303 | track down the problem. | |
1304 | ||
73c427d2 TT |
1305 | Fix mke2fs's handling of the mmp_update_interval option. (Addresses |
1306 | Lustre Bug: LU-1888) | |
1307 | ||
8359f626 TT |
1308 | E2image can now include all data blocks in the e2image output file |
1309 | when the user specifies the -a option. | |
1310 | ||
73c427d2 TT |
1311 | If e2fsprogs is compiled without --enable-quota, make sure that |
1312 | tune2fs can not turn on the feature for new-style quota support, since | |
1313 | afterwards, none of the e2fsprogs tools will be willing to touch that | |
1314 | file system. | |
1315 | ||
1316 | Optimize e2fsck's so that it uses much less CPU for large file | |
1317 | systems. This can result in significant speedups, especially on | |
1318 | CPU-constrained systems. This was primarily done by optimizing | |
1319 | libext2fs's bitmap functions. (Addresses Google Bug: #7534813) | |
1320 | ||
1321 | Fix debugfs's htree command so that all its messages are sent through | |
1322 | the pager. | |
1323 | ||
1324 | Fixed debugfs's "dump_file" and "cat" functions work correctly | |
1325 | on file systems whose block size is greater than 8k. | |
1326 | ||
1327 | Fix e2freefrag so it works on 64-bit file systems, and so it uses much | |
1328 | less memory. (Addresses Google Bug: 7269948) | |

1330 | Update the spd_readdir.c file in the contrib directory to include some |
1331 | additions which were made in 2008 that didn't get folded into the | |
1332 | version which we checked into the e2fsprogs source tree. These | |
1333 | enhancements include thread safety, support for readdir64_r(), and | |
1334 | safe_getenv() support in case spd_readdir.so is used for setuid binaries. | |

1345 | Programmer's Notes | |
1346 | ------------------ | |
1347 | ||
1348 | Fix gcc -Wall nits. | |
1349 | ||
1350 | Fix a spelling typo in the libext2fs texinfo documentation. | |
1351 | ||
1352 | Change the output from "make check" so that tools such as emacs's "M-x | |
1353 | compile" does not mistake the output as containing a compiler error. | |
1354 | ||
1355 | Export two new functions from libext2fs: ext2fs_extent_node_split() | |
1356 | and ext2fs_extent_goto2(). | |
1357 | ||
1358 | The ext2fs_extents_fix_parents() was fixed so it does not modify the | |
1359 | location of the extent handle if its current location is at an | |
1360 | interior node, rather than a leaf node of an inode's extent tree. | |
1361 | ||
511ba985 | 1362 | Add a regression test to assure that e2fsck can correctly fix an |
73c427d2 TT |
1363 | inconsistent interior node in an inode's extent tree. |
1364 | ||
511ba985 TT |
1365 | The ext2fs_{mark,unmark,test}_block_bitmap_range2() functions now |
1366 | correctly support bigalloc file systems which use store block usage | |
1367 | information in units of clusters. | |
1368 | ||
73c427d2 TT |
1369 | Fixed the help text in the configure script for --enable-quota. |
1370 | ||
1371 | The m68k-specific bitops code has been removed since they were | |
1372 | incorrectly treating bit numbers with the high bit set as signed | |
1373 | integers. Furthermore, modern compilers do a good enough job | |
1374 | optimizing the generic code there is no point in having the m68k | |
1375 | specific asm statements. | |
1376 | ||
1377 | Fixed how we link the test programs so they always use the static | |
1378 | libraries, so that we test using the libraries which we have just | |
1379 | built. | |
1380 | ||
8359f626 TT |
1381 | Update config.guess and config.sub to the latest versions from the GNU |
1382 | project. | |
1383 | ||
1384 | Fixed the com_err.texinfo file so that it can produce a valid | |
1385 | postscript/pdf printed output. | |
1386 | ||
1387 | Add a regression test which checks debugfs's ability to create | |
1388 | symlinks, named FIFO's, and device nodes. | |
1389 | ||
1390 | Add a function ext2fs_symlink(), which creates symlinks to the | |
1391 | libext2fs library. | |
1392 | ||
1393 | Add debugging code so we can test old kernel interfaces for online | |
1394 | resize to resize2fs. This backwards compatibility checking is keyed | |
1395 | off of the RESIZE2FS_KERNEL_VERSION, which is designed to allow us to | |
1396 | test the functionality of the kernel's older resize ioctls without | |
1397 | needing to install an old version of resize2fs, and to also test a | |
1398 | modern resize2fs's ability to work with older kernels without having | |
1399 | to install an older version of the kernel. | |

1402 | E2fsprogs 1.42.6 (September 21, 2012) |
1403 | ===================================== | |
1404 | ||
1405 | When mke2fs creates file systems with lazy itable initialization, the | |
1406 | progress updates for writing the inode table happens so quickly that | |
1407 | on a serial console, the time to write the progress updates can be the | |
1408 | bottleneck. So mke2fs will now only update its progress indicators | |
1409 | once a second. | |
1410 | ||
1411 | Resize2fs will skip initializing the inode tables if the kernel | |
1412 | supports lazy_itable_init, which speeds up growing off-line growth of | |
1413 | uninit_bg file systems significantly. Resize2fs will now also | |
1414 | correctly set the itable_unused field in the block group descriptor to | |
1415 | speed up the first e2fsck after the file system is grown. | |
1416 | ||
1417 | Resize2fs has been fixed so that on-line resizing of meta_bg file | |
1418 | systems work correctly. This is needed to grow file system which are | |
1419 | larger than 16T. | |
1420 | ||
1421 | Resize2fs will now correctly handle resizing file systems to 16TB on | |
1422 | 32-bit file systems when "16TB" is specified on the command line. | |
1423 | ||
1424 | Fix mke2fs so that it will be careful to set the reserved blocks ratio | |
1425 | larger than 50%; this can happen when creating small file systems and | |
1426 | when the last block group is dropped because there are not enough | |
1427 | blocks to support the metadata blocks in the last block group. | |
1428 | ||
1429 | Fixed spelling mistake in debugfs's help message. | |
1430 | ||
1431 | Fixed a potential seg fault in e2fsck when there is an I/O error while | |
1432 | reading the superblock. | |
1433 | ||
1434 | Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues (Addresses Debian Bug #677497) | |
1435 | ||
1436 | Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: | |
1437 | #3559210) | |
1438 | ||
1439 | Programmer's Notes | |
1440 | ------------------ | |
1441 | ||
1442 | The configure option --enable-relative-symlink was broken so that it | |
1443 | needed to be --enable-symlink-relative-symlinks. We will support both | |
1444 | for at least two years, but then the worng configure option will be | |
1445 | removed. | |
1446 | ||
1447 | Fixed a regression introduced in 1.42.5 so the link order for | |
1448 | e2fsprogs' libraries will be correct for both static and shared | |
1449 | linking. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3554345) | |
1450 | ||
1451 | Add support for e2fsprogs to be compiled using clang/LLVM. | |
1452 | ||
1453 | Fix portability problems on non-Linux systems: avoid compile failures | |
1454 | on systems that don't have malloc.h | |
1455 | ||
1456 | Fix f_mmp regression test suite so that debugfs gets killed if the | |
1457 | test is interrupted. | |

1461 | E2fsprogs 1.42.5 (July 29, 2012) |
1462 | ================================ | |
1463 | ||
1464 | Fixed a bug with mke2fs where if there is only 8 inodes per block | |
1465 | group, the calculation of the number of uninitialized inodes in the | |
1466 | first block group would go negative. This resulted in "mke2fs -N 256 | |
1467 | -t ext4 /tmp/foo.img 256m" trying to write so many blocks that /tmp | |
1468 | would run out of space. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3528892) | |
1469 | ||
1470 | Fixed a bug in how e2fsck would uniquify directory entry names. | |
1471 | (AddressesSourceforge Bug: #3540545) | |
1472 | ||
1473 | Previously, e2fsck would only allow a mounted file system to be | |
1474 | checked if it was the root file system and it was mounted read-only. | |
1475 | Now it will allow any file system mounted read-only to be checked if | |
1476 | the -f option is specified. This makes it easier to test how e2fsck | |
1477 | handles checking file systems which are mounted without having to test | |
1478 | on the root file system. | |
1479 | ||
1480 | Fixed a problem if e2fsck where if the root file system is mounted | |
1481 | read-only, e2fsck would not clear an error indication in the journal | |
1482 | superblock. Combined with a kernel bug, this would cause the e2fsck | |
1483 | to check the file system after every single boot. | |
1484 | ||
1485 | The e4defrag program can now handle device symlinks, such as | |
1486 | /dev/mapper/testvg-testlv, instead of insisting on a less | |
1487 | human-friendly name such as /dev/dm-2. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: | |
1488 | #707209) | |
1489 | ||
1490 | Fixed filefrag so it will not crash with a segfault on files from a | |
1491 | virtual file system such as /proc. (e.g., "filefrag | |
1492 | /proc/partitions") | |
1493 | ||
1494 | Fixed filefrag so that it correctly reports the number of extents. | |
1495 | (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #840848) | |
1496 | ||
1497 | Fixed a file descriptor leak in logsave which could cause it to hang. | |
1498 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #682592) | |
1499 | ||
1500 | Fixed e2fsck so that the file system is marked as containing an error | |
1501 | if the user chooses not to fix the quota usage information. | |
1502 | ||
1503 | Fixed tune2fs so that it correctly removes the quota feature when the | |
1504 | last quota inode is removed. | |
1505 | ||
1506 | Fix tune2fs so that after removing a quota inode, the block bitmap is | |
1507 | updated; otherwise, e2fsck would complain after running 'tune2fs -O | |
1508 | ^quota <dev>'. | |
1509 | ||
1510 | Fix tune2fs so that when converting a file system from using legacy | |
1511 | quota files to the new quota file system feature with hidden quota | |
1512 | files, the accounting for these files is handled correctly so that | |
1513 | e2fsck doesn't complain. | |
1514 | ||
1515 | Improved e2fsck's verbose reporting statistics, and allow the more | |
1516 | verbose reporting to be enabled via /etc/e2fsck.conf. | |
1517 | ||
1518 | Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues (Addresses Debian Bug #678395) | |
1519 | ||
1520 | Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #680114) | |

1523 | Programmer's Notes | |
1524 | ------------------ | |
1525 | ||
1526 | Fixed portability problems on other operating systems (e.g., Hurd and | |
1527 | FreeBsd) caused by the attempted inclusion of <sys/quota.h>. | |
1528 | ||
1529 | Make sure that shared libraries link with the shared libraries built | |
1530 | in the build tree, instead of the system provided libraries. | |
1531 | Previously, libraries and executables were linked with the system | |
1532 | libraries if present, and possibly using static archives instead of | |
1533 | shared libraries. This was also problematic since if libext2fs.so is | |
1534 | linked with a static libcom_err.a from system, the build system would | |
1535 | attempt to link without -lpthread. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: | |

1539 | E2fsprogs 1.42.4 (June 12, 2012) |
1540 | ================================ | |
1541 | ||
1542 | Fixed more 64-bit block number bugs (which could end up corrupting | |
1543 | file systems!) in e2fsck, debugfs, and libext2fs. | |
1544 | ||
1545 | Fixed e2fsck's handling of the journal's s_errno field. E2fsck was | |
1546 | not properly propagating the journal's s_errno field to the superblock | |
1547 | field; it was not checking this field if the journal had already been | |
1548 | replayed, and if the journal *was* being replayed, the "error bit" | |
1549 | wasn't getting flushed out to disk. | |
1550 | ||
1551 | Fixed a false positive complaint by e2fsck if all of the extents in | |
1552 | the last extent tree block are uninitalized and located after the end | |
1553 | of the file as defined by i_size. | |
1554 | ||
1555 | The dumpe2fs will now display the journal's s_errno field if it is | |
1556 | non-zero, and it will also display the journal's 64-bit feature flag | |
1557 | if present. | |
1558 | ||
1559 | Fix e2fsck so that it always opens the device file in exclusive mode | |
1560 | when it might need to modify the file system, and never if the -n | |
1561 | option is specified. (Previously, there were a few corner cases where | |
1562 | it might get things wrong in either direction.) | |
1563 | ||
1564 | E2fsck now correctly truncates or deallocates extent-mapped inodes on | |
1565 | the orphan list. The root cause was a bug in libext2fs's block | |
1566 | iterator which could end up skipping an extent when the last block in | |
1567 | an extent is removed, causing the current extent to be removed from | |
1568 | the extent tree. | |
1569 | ||
1570 | E2fsck now correctly sets the global free block and inode counts when | |
1571 | truncating or removing inodes on the orphan list in preen mode. | |
1572 | Previously, it would leave these values would be set incorrectly, | |
1573 | which is largely a cosmetic issue since the kernel no longer pays | |
1574 | attention to those fields, but it can cause spurious complaints in | |
1575 | subsequent e2fsck runs. | |
1576 | ||
1577 | Fix i_blocks accounting when the libext2fs library needs to add or | |
1578 | remove an extent tree block on bigalloc file systems. | |
1579 | ||
1580 | The lsattr and chattr programs now support the No_COW flag for the | |
1581 | benefit of btrfs. | |
1582 | ||
1583 | Debugfs now interprets date strings of the form @ddd as ddd seconds | |
1584 | after the beginning of the epoch. This is handy when setting an inode | |
1585 | number into the d_time field when debugging orphan list handling. | |
1586 | ||
1587 | Fix a precedence bug with built-in quota support which might result in | |
1588 | e2fsck paying attention to the quota inode field even if the built-in | |
1589 | quota feature flag is not set. Fortunately, in practice that | |
1590 | superblock field should be zero for non-built-in quota file systems, | |
1591 | so it's unlikely this bug would have caused problems. | |
1592 | ||
1593 | Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #674453, | |
1594 | #674694) | |
1595 | ||
1596 | Programmer's Notes | |
1597 | ------------------ | |
1598 | ||
1599 | The regression test suite can now run the integration tests in the | |
1600 | tests directory in parallel, via "make -jN check". | |
1601 | ||
1602 | Add new test, f_zero_extent_length which tests e2fsck's handling of | |
1603 | the case where all of the extents in the last extent tree block are | |
1604 | uninitialized extents after i_size. | |
1605 | ||
1606 | Add a new test, f_jnl_errno, which checks handling of an error | |
1607 | indication set in the journal superblock. | |
1608 | ||
1609 | Fix the test f_jnl_64bit so that it properly checks e2fsck's handling | |
1610 | of a 64-bit journal. | |
1611 | ||
1612 | Add two tests, f_orphan_indirect_inode and f_orphan_extent_inode which | |
1613 | tests e2fsck's handling of orphan inodes in preen mode, and truncation | |
1614 | of extent inodes on the orphan list. | |

1619 | E2fsprogs 1.42.3 (May 14, 2012) |
1620 | =============================== | |
1621 | ||
1622 | Fix a bug in the Unix I/O manager which could cause corruption of file | |
1623 | systems with more than 16TB when e2fsprogs is compiled in 32-bit mode | |
1624 | (i.e., when unsigned long is 32-bits). Also fix a bug which caused | |
1625 | dumpe2fs to incorrectly display block numbers > 32-bits. | |
1626 | ||
1627 | Improve the support for integrated quota files (where quota is a first | |
1628 | class supported feature using hidden files in the ext4 file system). | |
1629 | Previously the quota file was getting rewritten even when it was not | |
1630 | necessary, and e2fsck would erroneously try to hide quota files which | |
1631 | were already hidden. | |
1632 | ||
1633 | Quiet complaints in e2fsck when the total free blocks or inodes are | |
1634 | incorrect in the superblock after an system crash, since we don't | |
1635 | update nor depend on the superblock summaries at each commit boundary. | |
1636 | ||
1637 | Fixed a regression introduced in 1.42.2 which would cause applications | |
1638 | outside of e2fsprogs which did not pass the EXT2_FLAG_64BIT (and so | |
1639 | would were still using the legacy 32-bit bitmaps) to crash. This was | |
1640 | due to missing 32-bit compat code in side the function | |
1641 | ext2fs_find_first_zero_generic_bmap(). (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: | |
1642 | #808421) | |
1643 | ||
1644 | Fix a bug which would cause mke2fs to fail creating the journal if | |
1645 | /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts are missing. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: | |
1646 | #3509398) | |
1647 | ||
1648 | Updated/fixed various man pages. | |
1649 | ||
1650 | Update Czech, Dutch, French, German, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese | |
1651 | translations | |
1652 | ||
1653 | Fixed various Debian Packaging issues. | |
1654 | ||
1655 | ||
1656 | Programmer's Notes | |
1657 | ------------------ | |
1658 | ||
1659 | Change the nonsensically wrong types in the function signature of the | |
1660 | inline function ext2fs_find_first_zero_block_bitmap2(). This was | |
1661 | caused by a cut and paste error; fortunately no code in e2fsprogs used | |
1662 | this inline function, and there are any users of this functions | |
1663 | outside of e2fsprogs. | |
1664 | ||
1665 | Add support for systems which have valloc(), but which do have | |
1666 | posix_memalign() nor memalign() (such as MacOS 10.5). | |
1667 | ||
1668 | Refactor and clean up the allocation of aligned buffers for Direct I/O | |
1669 | support. Previously some allocations were requesting a greater | |
1670 | alignment factor that what was strictly necessary. Also optimize | |
1671 | reading and writing bitmaps using Direct I/O when the size of the | |
1672 | bitmap did not fully cover the file system blocksize. | |
1673 | ||
1674 | Reserve the codepoints for the INCOMPAT features LARGEDATA and | |
1675 | INLINEDATA. | |
1676 | ||
1677 | Improved the regression test suite by adding some new integration | |
1678 | tests (f_jnl_32bit, f_jnl_64bit) which detect breakage of the on-disk | |
1679 | jbd2 format, as well as f_eofblocks which tests the new handling of | |
1680 | uninitialized and initialized blocks beyond i_size. Also add a new | |
1681 | unit test which verifies 32-bit bitmaps support and the new | |
1682 | find_first_zero primitives. | |
1683 | ||
1684 | Add a few dependencies to fix parallel (make -j) builds. | |
1685 | ||
1686 | Removed bash'isms which were breaking the regression test suite on | |
1687 | systems where /bin/sh is not bash. | |
1688 | ||
1689 | The config.guess and config.sub have been updated to the 2012-02-10 | |
1690 | version. | |
1691 | ||
1692 | Fix a portability problem caused by assuming the present of mntent.h | |
1693 | means that setmntent() exists. Instead, explicitly test for this in | |
1694 | the configure script. | |
1695 | ||
1696 | If the sys/signal.h header file does not exist, don't try to include | |
1697 | it, since it's not available on all systems. | |
1698 | ||
1699 | Add support for systems that do not support getpwuid_r() | |
1700 | ||
1701 | The configure script now supports a new option, | |
1702 | --enable-relative-symlinks, which will install relative symlinks for | |
1703 | the ELF shared library files. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3520767). | |
1704 | ||
1705 | When building BSD shared libraries make sure the LDFLAGS variable is | |
1706 | passed to the linker. Fixing this allows, for example, e2fsprogs to | |
1707 | be built in 32-bit mode on Mac OS X Lion (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: | |

1716 | The resize2fs program uses much less CPU and is much faster for very | |
1717 | large file systems. (Addresses Debian Bug: #663237) | |
1718 | ||
1719 | The seti and freei commands in debugfs can now take an optional length | |
1720 | argument to set and clear a contiguous range of inodes. | |
1721 | ||
1722 | E2fsck will now make explicit checks for the EOFBLOCKS_FL, since we | |
1723 | plan to remove support for it from the kernel file system driver. It | |
1724 | really wasn't very useful and was causing more problems than it | |
1725 | solves. Since e2fsck will complain if inodes that should have | |
1726 | EOFBLOCKS_FL do not have the flag set, we are going to remove this | |
1727 | check from e2fsprogs first, and then only remove the flag from the | |
1728 | kernel much later. | |
1729 | ||
1730 | The mke2fs program can now use direct I/O via "mke2fs -D". This will | |
1731 | slow down the mke2fs, but it makes it more polite on a loaded server | |
1732 | by limiting the amount of memory that gets dirtied by mke2fs when it | |
1733 | is using buffered I/O. | |
1734 | ||
1735 | E2fsck was needlessly closing and re-opening the file system as a side | |
1736 | effect of adding Multiple Mount Protection (MMP). This isn't | |
1737 | necessary for non-MMP file systems, so drop it. | |
1738 | ||
1739 | Print errors returned by ext2fs_open2() and ext2fs_check_desc() so we | |
1740 | can more easily diagnose memory allocation failures caused by | |
1741 | insufficient memory. E2fsck will now abort if there are memory | |
1742 | allocation failures when the file system is initially opened and | |
1743 | during the block group descriptor checks. (Addresses Google Bug: | |
1744 | #6208183) | |
1745 | ||
1746 | If there are incorrect block group checks, e2fsck will now report the | |
1747 | incorrect and corrected checksum values. | |
1748 | ||
1749 | The e2fsck progam can now write log files containing the details of | |
1750 | the problems that were found and fixed directly, via configuration | |
1751 | parameters in /etc/e2fsck.conf. | |
1752 | ||
1753 | Added the ability to limit the number of messages reported by e2fsck | |
1754 | for a given problem type. This avoids a potential bottleneck if there | |
1755 | is a serial console which can cause a boot sequence to take a long | |
1756 | time if e2fsck needs to report many, many file system errors. | |
1757 | ||
1758 | The dumpe2fs, debugfs, and tune2fs now use rbtree bitmaps, which cause | |
1759 | them to use much less memory for large file systems. | |
1760 | ||
1761 | The dumpe2fs program will now print the expected block group checksum | |
1762 | if it is incorrect. This helps to diagnose problems caused by | |
1763 | incorrect block group checksums. | |
1764 | ||
1765 | E2fsck now checks for extents with a zero length, since the kernel | |
1766 | will oops if it comes accross such a corrupted data structure. (See | |
1767 | https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42859) | |
1768 | ||
1769 | E2fsck has a number of bugs relating to discard that have been fixed. | |
1770 | (1) Fixed a bug which could cause e2fsck to discard portions of the | |
1771 | inode table which were actually in use. (2) E2fsck will now avoid | |
1772 | using discard if the block device doesn't zero data on discard, since | |
1773 | otherwise this could cause problems if the file system gets corrupted | |
1774 | in the future. (3) E2fsck will now avoid using discard when it is run | |
1775 | in read-only mode. (4) Fixed a bug which caused e2fsck to not issue | |
1776 | discards in the last block group. | |
1777 | ||
1778 | E2fsck's CPU utilization in pass 5 has been optimized, which will | |
1779 | speed up e2fsck slightly. | |
1780 | ||
1781 | E2image will now skip copying uninitialized bitmap and inode table | |
1782 | blocks. | |
1783 | ||
1784 | Fixed mke2fs -S so it does not corrupt the first block group's | |
1785 | information. | |
1786 | ||
1787 | E2fsck will now check the new sysfs interface to determine if we are | |
1788 | using the battery or AC mains. (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #3439277) | |
1789 | ||
1790 | Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug: #665427) | |
1791 | ||
1792 | Fixed various Debian Packaging issues. (Addresses Debian Bug: #665885) | |
1793 | ||
1794 | Programmer's Notes | |
1795 | ------------------ | |
1796 | ||
1797 | Fixed various portability issues for non-Linux systems, particularly | |
1798 | MacOS X, as well as Linux systems running with the just-released glibc | |
1799 | 2.15. | |
1800 | ||
1801 | Fix file descriptor leak in ext2fs_close() if the file system with | |
1802 | uninit_bg is opened read/only with a backup superblock. (Addresses | |
1803 | SourceForge Bug: #3444351) | |
1804 | ||
1805 | Fixed an invalid return in a non-void function in the quota code. | |
1806 | (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #3468423) | |
1807 | ||
1808 | Fixed the debian rules file so that the calls to dpkg-buildflags works | |
1809 | when the shell is dash. | |
1810 | ||
1811 | The debian package build now uses V=1 so that there is more | |
1812 | information about potential build failures in debian buildd logs. | |
1813 | ||
1814 | If the uninit flags get cleared by functions such as | |
1815 | ext2fs_new_inode() or ext2fs_new_block2(), we now make sure the | |
1816 | superblock is marked dirty and the block group descriptor checksum is | |
1817 | updated if necessary. | |
1818 | ||
1819 | The debian rules file will now try to load debian/rules.custom of it | |
1820 | exists. This flie can skip various builds for speed reasons if there | |
1821 | is no need for the e2fsck-static or udeb packages. Available | |
1822 | customizations in the rules file includes SKIP_STATIC=yes, | |
1823 | SKIP_BF=yes, and SKIP_DIETLIBC=yes. | |
1824 | ||
1825 | In addition, if the file misc/mke2fs.conf.custom.in exists in the | |
1826 | source tree, it will be used instead of the standard misc.conf file in | |
1827 | the upstream sources. This makes it easier for Debian-derived systems | |
1828 | to distribute a custom mke2fs.conf file without having to worry about | |
1829 | merge issues if future versions of e2fsprogs makes changes in the | |
1830 | upstream default version of mke2fs.conf. | |
1831 | ||
1832 | ||
91b9eade TT |
1833 | E2fsprogs 1.42.1 (February 17, 2012) |
1834 | =================================== | |
1835 | ||
1836 | The mke2fs and e2fsck now use significantly less memory when creating | |
1837 | or checking very large file systems. This was enabled by adding | |
1838 | extent-based bitmaps which are stored using a red-block tree, since | |
1839 | block and inode allocations tend to be contiguous. | |
1840 | ||
1841 | The command mke2fs -S is used as a last ditch recovery command to | |
1842 | write new superblock and block group descriptors, but _not_ to destroy | |
1843 | the inode table in hopes of recovering from a badly corrupted file | |
1844 | system. So if the uninit_bg feature is enabled, mke2fs -S will now | |
1845 | set the unused inodes count field to zero. Otherwise, e2fsck -fy | |
1846 | after using mke2fs -S would leave the file system completely empty. | |
1847 | ||
1848 | Since mke2fs recognizes mke3fs in argv[0] to mean "mkfs.ext3", also | |
1849 | honor "mke4fs" to work the same as "mke2fs.ext4", since RHEL5 has | |
1850 | installed an mke2fs binary using that name. | |
1851 | ||
1852 | The usage and help messages for the -G, -t and -T options in mke2fs | |
1853 | have been fixed. | |
1854 | ||
1855 | If e2fsck needs to use the backup group descriptors, the | |
1856 | ext2fs_open2() function clears the UNINIT bits to ensure all of the | |
1857 | inodes in the file systems get scanned. However, the code which reset | |
1858 | the UNINIT flags did not also recalculate the checksum, which produced | |
1859 | many spurious (and scary) e2fsck messages. This has been fixed by | |
1860 | resetting cheksums when the UNINIT bits are cleared. | |
1861 | ||
1862 | Relax a check in e2fsck which required that the block bitmap to be | |
1863 | initialized when the inode bitmap is in use. This will allow us to | |
1864 | eventually eliminate code from the kernel which forcibly initialized | |
1865 | the block bitmap when the inode bitmap is first used, requiring an | |
1866 | extra journal credit and disk write. (Addresses Google Bug: #5944440) | |
1867 | ||
1868 | Make sure rdebugfs (which may be installed setuid or setgid disk) does | |
1869 | not honor environment variables if euid != uid or egid != gid. | |
1870 | ||
1871 | Debugfs's ncheck command has been optimized and now is much more | |
1872 | robust with faced with corrupted file systems. The ncheck command | |
1873 | also now has a -c option which will verify the file type information | |
1874 | in the directory entry to see if matches the inode's mode bits. This | |
1875 | is extremely useful when trying to use debugsfs to determine which | |
1876 | parts of the file system metadata can be trusted. | |
1877 | ||
1878 | E2image will try to use ftruncate64() to set the i_size for raw | |
1879 | images, instead of writing a single null byte. This avoid allocating | |
1880 | an extra block to the raw image, for those file systems and/or | |
1881 | operating systems that support this. (Linux does.) In addition, fix | |
1882 | a logic bug that caused the file to not be properly extended if the | |
1883 | size of the last hole was exactly an multiple of a megabyte. | |
1884 | ||
1885 | Fixed a bug in resize2fs where for 1k and 2k file systems, where | |
1886 | s_first_data_block is non-zero, this wasn't taken into account when | |
1887 | calculate the minimum file system size for use with the -M option. | |
1888 | ||
1889 | Fixed the badblocks program to honor the -s flag when in read-only -t | |
1890 | mode. (Addresses Debian Bug #646629) | |
1891 | ||
1892 | Update Czech, Dutch, French, Polish, and Sweedish translation from the | |
1893 | Translation Project. | |
1894 | ||
1895 | Fixed various Debian Packaging issues so that dpkg-buildflags is used | |
1896 | if present, which allows e2fsprogs to be built with security hardening | |
1897 | flags. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #654457) | |
1898 | ||
1899 | Programmer's Notes | |
1900 | ------------------ | |
1901 | ||
1902 | Fix a bug in ext2fs_clear_generic_bmap() when used for 32-bit bitmaps. | |
1903 | This was only an issue for programs compiled against e2fsprogs 1.41 | |
1904 | that manipulate bitmaps directly. (Addresses Sourceforge Bugs: | |
1905 | #3451486) | |
1906 | ||
1907 | The libext2fs library now uses sysconf() to fetch the page size, instead | |
1908 | of the deprecated getpagesize(). | |
1909 | ||
1910 | The ext2fs_get_pathname() function will return a partial path if an a | |
1911 | directory in the path is not a directory, displaying it as an inode | |
1912 | number in angle brackets instead of giving up and displaying an error. | |
1913 | This is much more helpful when a user is trying to debug a corrupted | |
1914 | file system. | |
1915 | ||
1916 | Codepoints for the RO_COMPAT_REPLICA feature has been reserved. | |
1917 | ||
1918 | Added a new library function, ext2fs_file_get_inode_num(), for use by | |
1919 | fuse2fs. | |
1920 | ||
1921 | Fixed a bug in ext2fs_file_set_size2() so that when it is truncating a | |
1922 | file, it actually works. | |
1923 | ||
1924 | The block iterator now properly honors the BLOCK_ABORT flag for | |
1925 | extent-based flags. Previously, it didn't, which generally made code | |
1926 | be less efficient, but it could cause bugs in ext2fs_link(), for | |
1927 | example, by causing it to insert multiple directory entries. | |
1928 | ||
1929 | Fixed an (harmless other than causing a compiler warning) use of an | |
1930 | uninitialized variable in e2fsck's MMP code. | |
1931 | ||
1932 | ||

1933 | E2fsprogs 1.42 (November 29, 2011) |
1934 | ================================== | |
c0b3deb5 | 1935 | |
c2ac6c5f TT |
1936 | This release of e2fsprogs has support for file systems > 16TB. Online |
1937 | resize requires kernel support which will hopefully be in Linux | |
1938 | version 3.2. Offline support is not yet available for > 16TB file | |
1939 | systems, but will be coming. | |
c0b3deb5 | 1940 | |
2406de54 TT |
1941 | This release of e2fsprogs has support for clustered allocation. This |
1942 | reduces the number of block (now cluster) bitmaps by allocating and | |
1943 | deallocating space in contiguous power-of-2 collections of blocks, | |
1944 | which are called clustered. This is a file system level feature, | |
1945 | called 'bigalloc', which must be enabled when the file system is | |
1946 | initially formatted. It is not backwards compatible with older | |
1947 | kernels. | |
1948 | ||
8a0ef9ed TT |
1949 | Added support for the Multi-Mount Protection (MMP) feature. |
1950 | ||
499d5ec5 TT |
1951 | E2fsck more efficiently uses scratch files for really big file |
1952 | systems. (This is a feature that has to be turned on explicitly; see | |
1953 | [scratch_files] in the e2fsck.conf man page.) | |
1954 | ||
c0b3deb5 TT |
1955 | Fix a bug in e2fsck where if the free blocks and inodes counts are |
1956 | incorrect, e2fsck would fix them without printing an error message. | |
1957 | This would cause a "*** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***" message without | |
1958 | any explanation of what was fixed. | |
1959 | ||
1960 | E2fsck will no longer attempt to clone an extended attribute block in | |
1961 | pass1b handling if the file system does not support extended | |
1962 | attributes. | |
1963 | ||
1964 | E2fsck will be more careful accidentally asking the user to continue | |
1965 | if the file system is mounted, so that an escape sequence won't cause | |
1966 | a false positive. (Addresses Debian Bug: #619859) | |
1967 | ||
1968 | E2fsck now uses less cpu time in pass 5 when large portions of the | |
1969 | bitmaps are uninitialized. | |
1970 | ||
1971 | E2fsck will no longer segault when a corrupted file system has a bad | |
1972 | extent, and removing it leads to a block needing to be deallocated. | |
1973 | (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #2971800) | |
1974 | ||
2406de54 TT |
1975 | E2fsck will catch termination signals (segfaults, bus errors, sigfpe) |
1976 | and print debugging information to make it easier to find potential | |
1977 | problems. | |
1978 | ||
c2ac6c5f TT |
1979 | E2fsck will check to see if the bad block inode looks insane, and will |
1980 | skip trying to use if it certain fields which should be zero look | |
1981 | non-zero. This is to avoid a corrupted bad block inode causing e2fsck | |
1982 | to get confused and do more harm than good. | |
1983 | ||
1984 | If e2fsck modifies certain superblock fields which the kernel doesn't | |
1985 | look at, it will now mark the superblock as dirty without marking the | |
1986 | file system as changed. This avoids signalling the init scripts that | |
1987 | a reboot is necessary, since the kernel isn't going to look at those | |
1988 | fields, so it won't care if they have been changed. | |
1989 | ||
2406de54 TT |
1990 | Fixed a bug in the libext2fs library (in the binary search routine of |
1991 | the icount abstraction) that could (very, very rarely) cause e2fsck to | |
1992 | die in the middle of pass 1 or pass 2 processing. | |
1993 | ||
1994 | E2fsck will not try to do a discard operation if the -n option was | |
1995 | specified on the command line. | |
1996 | ||
c0b3deb5 TT |
1997 | E2fsck now supports an extended "discard" option which will cause |
1998 | e2fsck to attempt discard all unused blocks after a full, successful | |
1999 | file system check. | |
2000 | ||
c2ac6c5f TT |
2001 | E2fsck will check for the bad block inode to make sure it looks sane |
2002 | before trusting it, to avoid causing more harm than good to the file | |
2003 | system. | |
2004 | ||
3a4ab830 TT |
2005 | E2fsck now returns additional status bits in its exit code if it |
2006 | aborts early in the e2fsck run. | |
2007 | ||
499d5ec5 TT |
2008 | E2fsck now correctly calculates the maximum file size in the case of |
2009 | the huge_file file system feature enabled without extents. | |
2010 | ||
2406de54 TT |
2011 | The mke2fs and e2fsck programs now tries to use the punch hole command |
2012 | as a "discard" when operating on normal files. | |
2013 | ||
c0b3deb5 TT |
2014 | The e2image program now supports the qcow2 format, which is a more |
2015 | efficient way of capturing file system dumps. | |
2016 | ||
2017 | Mke2fs now supports the [devices] stanza in mke2fs.conf which allows | |
2018 | per-device defaults to be specified in the configuration file. | |
2019 | ||
2020 | Mke2fs now supports the reserved_ratio relation in the [defaults] and | |
2021 | [fs_types] section in mke2fs.conf. | |
2022 | ||
2023 | Mke2fs now creates extent-mapped directories for the root and | |
2024 | lost+found directories. | |
2025 | ||
2026 | Mke2fs will skip zero'ing the journal if the extended option | |
2027 | "lazy_journal_init" is specified. This can save a lot of time, but it | |
2028 | does add a small amount of risk if the system crashes before the | |
2029 | journal is overwritten entirely once. It is epsecially useful for | |
2030 | testing. | |
2031 | ||
2032 | Mke2fs will now create file systems that enable user namespace | |
2033 | extended attributes and with time- and mount count-based file | |
2034 | system checks disabled. | |
2035 | ||
2036 | Mke2fs will not set a stride or strip size of one block based on block | |
2037 | device attributes obtained from sysfs. | |
2038 | ||
2039 | Mke2fs now displays a progress report during the discard process. | |
2040 | ||
2041 | Mke2fs now handles extreme file system parameters correctly which | |
2042 | previously caused the inodes per group to drop below 8, leading to a | |
2043 | segfault. (The inodes per group must be a multiple of 8, but the code | |
2044 | didn't correctly deal with an inodes per group count less than 8.) | |
2045 | ||
2406de54 TT |
2046 | Mke2fs and tune2fs previously would give an error if the user tried |
2047 | setting the stride and stripe-width parameters to zero; but this is | |
2048 | necessary to disable the stride and stripe-width settings. So allow | |
2049 | setting these superblock fields to zero. (Addresses Google Bug: | |
2050 | #4988557) | |
2051 | ||
2052 | Mke2fs now gives a warning if the auto-detected block size exceeds the | |
2053 | system's page size. | |
2054 | ||
c2ac6c5f TT |
2055 | If the enable_periodic_fsck option is false in /etc/mke2fs.conf (which |
2056 | is the default), mke2fs will now set the s_max_mnt_count superblock | |
2057 | field to -1, instead of 0. Kernels older then 3.0 will print a | |
2058 | spurious message on each mount then they see a s_max_mnt_count set to | |
2059 | 0, which will annoy users. (Addresses Debian Bug: #632637) | |
2060 | ||
fd7c37fe TT |
2061 | The default mke2fs.conf now has entries for "big" and "huge", which |
2062 | are needed for very big file systems. | |
2063 | ||
2406de54 TT |
2064 | The resize2fs program now has support for a new online resize ioctl |
2065 | that can support file systems > 16TB, once it arrives in v3.x kernels. | |
2066 | ||
6b967cd6 TT |
2067 | Fixed bug which caused resize2fs to fail when shrinking an empty file |
2068 | system down to its minimal size. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug #3404051) | |
2069 | ||
2406de54 TT |
2070 | Fixed tune2fs's mount options parsing. (Addresses Debian Bug: #641667) |
2071 | ||
8a0ef9ed TT |
2072 | Allow tune2fs to remove external journals if the device can not be |
2073 | found. | |
2074 | ||
c0b3deb5 TT |
2075 | Debugfs's icheck will now correctly find inodes which use the |
2076 | searched-for block as an extended attribute block. | |
2077 | ||
2078 | Debugfs now has a new "punch" command which remove blocks from the | |
2079 | middle of an inode. | |
2080 | ||
3a4ab830 TT |
2081 | Debugfs now has a new "e2freefrag" command which analyzes the free |
2082 | space fragmentation of the file system, using the same code as the | |
2083 | e2freefrag program. | |
2084 | ||
2085 | Debugfs now has a "filefrag" command which displays information about | |
2086 | a file's fragmentation. | |
2087 | ||
2088 | Add support to build a metadata-only, read-only, stripped-down version | |
2089 | of debugfs called rdebugfs. | |
2090 | ||
2091 | Fixed a potential stack overrun bug in debugfs. | |
2092 | ||
c0b3deb5 TT |
2093 | The badblocks program now correctly recovers from I/O errors when |
2094 | direct I/O is being used. The badblocks command now also supports a | |
2095 | -B option which forces the use of buffered I/O, and the -v option will | |
2096 | provide a more detailed breakdown of read, write, and failed | |
2097 | comparison errors. | |
2098 | ||
2099 | Added e4defrag tool which uses the EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl. | |
2100 | ||
2101 | Added support for journals larger than 2GB. | |
2102 | ||
2103 | Support using both hard links and symlinks when installing e2fsprogs. | |
2104 | ||
2105 | Add overflow checking to tune2fs -i's fsck interval, which must fit in | |
2106 | a 32-bit field. | |
2107 | ||
2406de54 TT |
2108 | The debugfs command now has a new 'blocks' command which prints out |
2109 | data blocks of a particular inode in a format which is useful for | |
2110 | scripting. | |
2111 | ||
c0b3deb5 TT |
2112 | Filefrag will report 0 extents correctly in verbose mode. (Addresses |

3871db6d | 2115 | Filefrag has been fixed so its -v report prints the correct expected |
c2ac6c5f TT |
2116 | block number (previously there had been an off-by-one error). In |
2117 | addition, it will now display the number of contiguous extents when -v | |
2118 | is not specified. This makes it consistent with the number of extents | |
2119 | printed when the -v option was specified. In addition, the number of | |
2120 | contiguous extents is far more interesting/useful than the number of | |
2121 | physical extents for very large files. (Addresses Debian Bug: | |

2155 | Programmer's Notes |
2156 | ------------------ | |
c0b3deb5 | 2157 | |
7becb206 TT |
2158 | Initial support for quota as an integrated feature, where the quota |
2159 | files are hidden system files that are automatically maintained by | |
2160 | e2fsck is present, although disabled by default. It must be enabled | |
2161 | by using the configure option --enable-quota. | |
2162 | ||
2406de54 TT |
2163 | Reserved the on-disk fields for the metadata checksum and snapshot |
2164 | features, which are currently in development. | |
2165 | ||
c0b3deb5 TT |
2166 | The ext2fs library now has the new functions ext2fs_punch(), |
2167 | ext2fs_get_memzero() and ext2fs_file_get_inode(). | |
2168 | ||
2406de54 TT |
2169 | The ext2fs library now has support for calculating the crc32c checksum |
2170 | (via the new functions ext2fs_crc32c_be and ext2fs_crc32c_le). | |
2171 | ||
c0b3deb5 TT |
2172 | The I/O manager now supports the discard operation. |
2173 | ||
2174 | Reserved file system code points for new 1st class quota feature. | |
2175 | ||
8a0ef9ed TT |
2176 | Shortened the compilation lines by moving the autoconf defines to |
2177 | a config.h header file. | |
2178 | ||
c0b3deb5 TT |
2179 | Fixed a potential free of an unitialized pointer in |
2180 | ext2fs_update_bb_inode(). | |
2181 | ||
8a0ef9ed | 2182 | Fixed miscellaneous gcc -Wall and coverity warnings. |
c0b3deb5 | 2183 | |
fd7c37fe | 2184 | Fixed portability issues for Mac OS X, Hurd, and FreeBSD. |
c0b3deb5 TT |
2185 | |
2186 | Fixed a build failure when OMIT_COM_ERR is defined. | |
2187 | ||
2188 | Improved error checking and fixed memory leaks caused by error return | |
2189 | paths. | |
2190 | ||
8a0ef9ed TT |
2191 | Add ext2fs_flush2() and ext2fs_close2() which takes a flag to allow |
2192 | the fsync() to be skipped. | |
2193 | ||
2406de54 | 2194 | Added a test for extent-mapped journals by mke2fs and tune2fs. |
c0b3deb5 TT |
2195 | |
2196 | Added a test for creating a large (over 4GB) journal using mke2fs. | |
2197 | ||
2406de54 TT |
2198 | Added a test to make sure the inode size remains constant. |
2199 | ||
2200 | The regression test script now prints the list of which tests failed. | |
2201 | ||
2202 | The regression test system now uses /tmp for its scratch files, which | |
2203 | is often a tmpfs mounted file system and hence much faster. | |
2204 | ||
2205 | The i_e2image test was fixed so it works with valgrind. | |
2206 | ||
2207 | Tests that rely on debugfs are now skipped if debugfs wasn't built. | |
2208 | ||
c0b3deb5 TT |
2209 | Fixed the dependencies for "make check" so all required dependencies |
2210 | are built before running the gression tests. | |
2211 | ||
2212 | A link to com_err.h is installed in $(includedir) during a "make install". | |
2213 | ||
fd7c37fe TT |
2214 | The po/*.gmo files are automatically rebuilt if they are missing or |
2215 | out of date. This helps out Debian packaging. | |
2216 | ||
6b967cd6 TT |
2217 | Allow ext2fs_get_memalign() to compile on systems that don't have |
2218 | posix_memalign(). | |
2219 | ||
3a4ab830 TT |
2220 | Fixed a namespace leak in libext2fs (tdb_null). |
2221 | ||
c0b3deb5 | 2222 | |
7267e3d3 TT |
2223 | E2fsprogs 1.41.14 (December 22, 2010) |
2224 | ===================================== | |
2225 | ||
2226 | Fix spurious complaint in mke2fs where it would complain if the file | |
2227 | system type "default" is not defined in mke2fs.conf. | |
2228 | ||
2229 | The resize2fs program will no longer clear the resize_inode feature | |
2230 | when the number reserved group descriptor blocks reaches zero. This | |
2231 | allows for subsequent shrinks of the file system to work cleanly for | |
2232 | flex_bg file systems. | |
2233 | ||
2234 | The resize2fs program now handles devices which are exactly 16T; | |
2235 | previously it would give an error saying that the file system was too | |
2236 | big. | |
2237 | ||
2238 | E2fsck (and the libext2fs library) will not use the extended rec_len | |
2239 | encoding for file systems whose block size is less than 64k, for | |
2240 | consistency with the kernel. | |
2241 | ||
2242 | Programming notes | |
2243 | ----------------- | |
2244 | ||
2245 | E2fsprogs 1.41.13 would not compile on big-endian systems. This has | |
2246 | been fixed. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3138115) | |
2247 | ||
2248 | The ext2fs_block_iterator2() function passed an incorrect ref_offset | |
2249 | to its callback function in the case of sparse files. (Addresses | |
2250 | Sourceforge Bug: #3081087) | |
2251 | ||
2252 | Fix some type-punning warnings generated by newer versions of gcc. | |
2253 | ||
2254 | ||
d085f61f | 2255 | E2fsprogs 1.41.13 (December 13, 2010) |
d5b8a1e9 TT |
2256 | ===================================== |
2257 | ||
d085f61f TT |
2258 | E2fsck now supports the extended option "-E journal_only", which |
2259 | causes it to only do a journal replay. This is useful for scripts | |
2260 | that want to first replay the journal and then check to see if it | |
2261 | contains errors. | |
2262 | ||
2263 | E2fsck will now support UUID= and LABEL= specifiers for the -j option | |
2264 | (which specifies where to find the external journal). (Addresses | |
2265 | Debian Bug #559315) | |
2266 | ||
2267 | E2fsck now has support for the problems/<problem code>/force_no | |
2268 | configuration option in e2fsck.conf, which forces a problem to not be | |
2269 | fixed. | |
2270 | ||
2271 | Dumpe2fs will now avoid printing large negative offsets for the bitmap | |
2272 | blocks and instead print a message which is a bit more helpful for | |
2273 | flex_bg file systems. | |
2274 | ||
2275 | Mke2fs will now check the file system type (specified with the -t | |
2276 | option) to make sure it is defined in the mke2fs.conf file; if it is | |
2277 | not, it will print an error and abort. If the usage type (specified | |
2278 | with the -T option) is not defined in mke2fs.conf, mke2fs will print a | |
2279 | warning but will continue. (Addresses Debian Bug #594609) | |
2280 | ||
2281 | Clarified error message from resize2fs clarifying that on-line | |
2282 | shrinking is not supported at all. (Addresses Debian Bug #599786) | |
2283 | ||
2284 | Fix an e2fsck bug that could cause a PROGRAMMING BUG error to be | |
2285 | displayed. (Addresses Debian Bug #555456) | |
2286 | ||
d5b8a1e9 TT |
2287 | E2fsck will open the external journal in exclusive mode, to prevent |
2288 | the journal from getting truncated while it is in use due to a user | |
2289 | accidentally trying to run e2fsck on a snapshotted file system volume. | |
d085f61f | 2290 | (Addresses Debian Bug #587531) |
d5b8a1e9 TT |
2291 | |
2292 | Fix a bug in e2fsck so it has the correct test for the EOFBLOCKS_FL | |
2293 | flag. | |
2294 | ||
2295 | The tune2fs program can now set the uninit_bg feature without | |
2296 | requiring an fsck. | |
2297 | ||
2298 | The tune2fs, dumpe2fs, and debugfs programs now support the new ext4 | |
2299 | default mount options settings which were added in 2.6.35. | |
2300 | ||
2301 | The e2fsck and dumpe2fs programs now support the new ext4 superblock | |
2302 | fields which track where and when the first and most recent file | |
2303 | system errors occurred. These fields are displayed by dumpe2fs and | |
2304 | cleared by e2fsck. These new superblock fields were added in 2.6.36. | |
2305 | ||
2306 | Debugfs now uses a more concicse format for listing extents in its | |
2307 | stat command. This format also includes the interior extent tree | |
2308 | blocks, which previously was missing from stat's output for | |
2309 | extent-based files. | |
2310 | ||
2311 | Debugfs has a new option, -D, which will request Direct I/O access of | |
2312 | the file system. | |
2313 | ||
2314 | Mke2fs will skip initializing the inode table if a device supports | |
2315 | discard and the discard operation will result in zero'ed blocks. | |
2316 | ||
2317 | Badblocks will now correctly backspace over UTF-8 characters when | |
2318 | displaying its progress bar. (Addresses Gentoo Bug #309909; Addresses | |
2319 | Debian Bugs #583782 and #587834) | |
2320 | ||
2321 | E2freefrag will now display the total number of free extents. | |
2322 | ||
2323 | Resize2fs -P no longer requires a freshly checked filesystem before | |
2324 | printing the minimum resize size. | |
2325 | ||
2326 | Fixed a floating point precision error in a binary tree search routine | |
2327 | that can lead to seg fault in e2fsck and resize2fs. | |
2328 | ||
2329 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck where if both the original and backup superblock | |
2330 | are invalid in some way, e2fsck will fail going back to the original | |
2331 | superblock because it didn't close the backup superblock first, and | |
2332 | the exclusive open prevented the file system from being reopened. | |
2333 | ||
2334 | Fixed a big in e2freefrag which caused getopt parsing to fail on | |
2335 | architectures with unsigned chars. (Addresses Gentoo Bug: #299386) | |
2336 | ||
2337 | Clarified an mke2fs error message so a missed common in an -E option | |
2338 | (i.e., mke2fs -t ext4 -E stride=128 stripe-width=512 /dev/sda1") | |
2339 | results in a more understandable explanation to the user. | |
2340 | ||
2341 | Mke2fs now displays the correct valid inode ratio range when | |
2342 | complaining about an invalid inode ratio specified by the user. | |
2343 | ||
2344 | Mke2fs now understands the extended option "discard" and "nodiscard", | |
2345 | and the older option -K is deprecated. The default of whether | |
2346 | discards are enabled by default can be controled by the mke2fs.conf | |
2347 | file. | |
2348 | ||
2349 | Mke2fs's handling of logical and physical sector sizes has been | |
2350 | improved to reflect the fact that there will be some SSD's with 8k and | |
2351 | 16k physical sectors arriving soon. Mke2fs will no longer force block | |
2352 | size to be the physical sector size, since there will be devices where | |
2353 | the physical sector size is larger than the system's page size, and | |
2354 | hence larger than the maximal supported block size. In addition, if | |
2355 | the minimal and optimal io size are not exported by the device, and | |
2356 | the physical sector size is larger than the block size, the physical | |
2357 | sector size will be used to set the Raid I/O optimization hints in the | |
2358 | superblock. | |
2359 | ||
2360 | E2fsck will now display a better, more specific error message when the | |
2361 | user enters a typo'ed device name, instead of blathering on about | |
2362 | alternate superblocks. | |
2363 | ||
2364 | Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues | |

2386 | Added a new function to the ext2fs library, ext2fs_get_memalign(). |
2387 | ||

2402 | ================================ | |
b846122a TT |
2403 | |
2404 | Mke2fs now gives a correct error message if the external journal | |
2405 | device is not found. (Addresses Red Hat Bug #572935) | |
2406 | ||
2407 | Resize2fs -P will now refuse to print a minimum size if the file | |
2408 | system is not clean. Previously it would go ahead and print a minimum | |
2409 | size anyway, which might not be correct, leading to user confusion. | |
2410 | ||
2411 | E2fsck now tests for extents that begin at physical block 0 and | |
2412 | rejects them as invalid. (Addresses Google Bug: #2573806) | |
2413 | ||
2414 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could cause it to crash when trying to | |
2415 | remove an invalid extent and the block bitmaps hadn't yet been loaded. | |
2416 | (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #2971800) | |
2417 | ||
2418 | E2fsck now will completely skip time-based checks if the system clock | |
2419 | looks insane or the option broken_system_clock is set in | |
2420 | /etc/e2fsck.conf. | |
2421 | ||
2422 | E2fsck would previously report an i_blocks corruption for a 4T file | |
2423 | created using posix_fallocate; this bug has been fixed. | |
2424 | ||
2425 | E2fsck will now correctly mark a sparse journal as invalid and will | |
2426 | delete and recreate the journal to address the problem. | |
2427 | ||
2428 | E2fsck would previously incorrectly ask the user whether she would | |
2429 | like to abort the file system check after finding a problem --- and | |
2430 | then abort regardless of the user's answer. This is annoying, and | |
2431 | has been fixed. | |
2432 | ||
2433 | E2fsck can now continue even if it fails to recreate the resize | |
2434 | inode; previously it would just abort the file system check | |
2435 | altogether. | |
2436 | ||
2437 | E2fsck could potentially remove directory entries for inodes found in | |
2438 | the unused region of the inode table; this would generally happen on | |
2439 | ext4 file systems that do not use journaling. This bug has been fixed | |
2440 | by not clearing these directory entries once it has been established | |
2441 | that bg_unused_inodes may not be trustworthy; once pass #2 has been | |
2442 | completed, e2fsck will restart the file system check from the | |
2443 | beginning, and then it will be safe to delete any directory entries | |
2444 | pointing to inodes that appear to be deleted. (Addresses Google Bug: | |
2445 | #2642165) | |
2446 | ||
2447 | E2fsck will not try to set the block group checksums if the user | |
2448 | cancels the fsck with a control-C. It's a bad idea to set the | |
2449 | checksums if e2fsck hasn't been completed, and it often results an the | |
2450 | error message, "Inode bitmap not loaded while setting block group | |
2451 | checksum info". (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #582035) | |
2452 | ||
2453 | The mke2fs program now queries the kernel for the physical as well as | |
2454 | the logical sector size, and will not allow a blocksize below the | |
2455 | logical, and will strongly encourage a blocksize at least as big as | |
2456 | the physical blocksize. This is needed for 4k sector drives that | |
2457 | emulate 512 byte sector sizes. | |
2458 | ||
2459 | Mke2fs will now allow a flex_bg size of 1. This is unusual, and | |
2460 | rarely needed, but it is a legal value. | |
2461 | ||
2462 | E2fsck will check for cases where the EOFBLOCKS_FL is set when it is | |
2463 | not needed, and offer to clear it; this is a sign of a kernel bug, but | |
2464 | more importantly, some released kernels may crash when this situation | |
2465 | is encountered on ext4 file systems. (Addresses Google Bug: #2604224) | |
2466 | ||
2467 | E2fsck will use the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag exclusively to check whether | |
2468 | i_size is correct. (Kernels starting with 2.6.34 will set | |
2469 | EOFBLOCKS_FL.) | |
2470 | ||
2471 | The com_err library will now only output ^M (a CR character) when the | |
2472 | tty is in raw mode. | |
2473 | ||
2474 | Update the Czech, Chinese, Dutch, French, Germany, Indonesian, Polish, | |
2475 | and Vietnamese translations. | |
2476 | ||
2477 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for | |
2478 | details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #571247, #563487) | |

2480 | ||
2481 | Programmer's Notes | |
2482 | ------------------ | |
2483 | ||
2484 | The regression test suite now uses its own mke2fs.conf file, so that | |
2485 | downstream distributions want change the mke2fs.conf file which is | |
2486 | distributed in the RPM or dpkg file, without worrying about screwing | |
2487 | up the regression test results. | |
2488 | ||
2489 | Always build namei.o so that building with configure --disable-debugfs | |
2490 | works correctly. Long-term, if we care about reduced e2fsprogs | |
2491 | builds, we need a more general solution for deciding what .o files are | |
2492 | needed for a particular build. Given that install floppies are going | |
2493 | (gone?) the way the dodo bird, we probably don't care, though. | |
2494 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2911433) | |
2495 | ||
2496 | Add configure options --enable-symlink-build and | |
2497 | --enable-symlink-install, which allow e2fsprogs be built using | |
2498 | symlinks instad of hard links, and to be installed using symlinks | |
2499 | instead of hard links, respectively. It is useful when the file | |
2500 | system where the build is taking place, or the file system where | |
2501 | e2fsprogs is installed, can't handle hard links for some reason. | |
2502 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1436294) | |

2507 | E2fsprogs 1.41.11 (March 14, 2010) |
2508 | ================================== | |
2509 | ||
2510 | E2fsck will no longer give a fatal error and abort if the physical | |
2511 | device has been resized beyond 2**32 blocks. (Addresses Launchpad | |
2512 | Bug: #521648) | |
2513 | ||
2514 | Debugfs has a bug fixed so that "logdump -b <blk>" now properly shows | |
2515 | the allocation status of the block <blk>. (Addresses Debian Bug: | |
2516 | #564084) | |
2517 | ||
2518 | E2fsck now prints a much more emphatic and hopefully scary message | |
2519 | when a file system is detected as mounted while doing a read/write | |
2520 | check of the filesystem. Hopefully this will dissuade users from | |
2521 | thinking, "surely that message doesn't apply to *me*" :-( | |
2522 | ||
2523 | E2fsck -n will now always open the file system read-only. We now | |
2524 | disallow certain combination of options which previously were manual | |
2525 | exceptions; this is bad because it causes users to think they are | |
2526 | smarter than they really are. So "-n -c", "-n -l", "-n -L", and "-n | |
2527 | -D" are no longer supported. (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #537483) | |
2528 | ||
2529 | In e2fsprogs 1.41.10, mke2fs would ask for confirmation to proceed if | |
2530 | it detected a badly aligned partition. Unfortunately, this broke some | |
2531 | distribution installation scripts, so it now just prints the warning | |
2532 | message and proceeds. (Addresses Red Hat Bug: #569021. Addresses | |
2533 | Launchpad Bug: #530071) | |
2534 | ||
2535 | Mke2fs would take a long time to create very large journal files for | |
2536 | ext4. This was caused by a bug in ext2fs_block_iterate2(), which is | |
2537 | now fixed. | |
2538 | ||
2539 | E2fsck now understands the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag which will be used in | |
2540 | 2.6.34 kernels to make e2fsck not complain about blocks deliberately | |
2541 | fallocated() beyond an inode's i_size. | |
2542 | ||
2543 | E2fsprogs 1.41.10 introduced a regression (in commit b71e018) where | |
2544 | e2fsck -fD can corrupt non-indexed directories when are exists one or | |
2545 | more file names which alphabetically sort before ".". This can happen | |
2546 | with ext2 filesystems or for small directories (take less than a lock) | |
2547 | which contain filenames that begin with a space or some other | |
2548 | punctuation mark. (Addresses Debian Bug: #573923, Addresses Launchpad | |
2549 | Bug: #525114) | |
2550 | ||
2551 | ||
2552 | Programmer's Notes | |
2553 | ------------------ | |
2554 | ||
2555 | Add new test, f_rehash_dir, which checks to make sure e2fsck -D works | |
2556 | correctly. | |

7b6f5920 TT |
2558 | The libcom_err function now has support for Heimdal's com_right_r |
2559 | function(). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2963865, Addresses Debian | |
2560 | Bug: #558910) | |

2563 | E2fsprogs 1.41.10 (February 7, 2010) |
2564 | ==================================== | |
2565 | ||
2566 | Fix resize2fs bug which causes it to access invalid memory. | |
2567 | ||
2568 | Add libss support for libreadline.so.6. | |
2569 | ||
2570 | Fix e2fsck's check for extent-mapped directory with an incorrect file | |
2571 | type. | |
2572 | ||
2573 | Add new e2fsck.conf configuration option, default/broken_system_clock | |
2574 | to support systems with broken CMOS hardware clocks. Also, since too | |
2575 | many distributions seem to have broken virtualization scripts now, | |
2576 | e2fsck will by default accept dates which are off by up to 24 hours by | |
2577 | default. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #559776, #557636) | |
2578 | ||
2579 | Fix a bug where mke2fs may not use the best placement of the inode | |
2580 | table when there is only room for a single block group in the last | |
2581 | flex_bg. | |
2582 | ||
2583 | E2fsck is now smarter when it needs to allocate blocks in the course | |
2584 | of fixing file system problems. This reduces the number of spurious | |
2585 | differences found in pass #5. | |
2586 | ||
2587 | E2fsck will no longer rehash directories which fit in a single | |
2588 | directory block. | |
2589 | ||
2590 | E2fsck now correctly handles holes in extent-mapped directories (i.e., | |
2591 | sparse directories which use extents). | |
2592 | ||
2593 | Fix big-endian problems with ext2fs_bmap() and ext2fs_bmap2(). | |
2594 | ||
2595 | Fix a bug in filefrag where on platforms which can allow file systems | |
2596 | with 8k blocks, that it doesn't core dump when it sees a file system | |
2597 | with 8k block sizes. (Thanks to Mikulas Patocka for pointing this | |
2598 | out.) | |
2599 | ||
2600 | E2fsck will correctly fix directories that are have an inaccurate | |
2601 | i_size as well as other problems in a single pass, instead of | |
2602 | requiring two e2fsck runs before the file system is fully fixed. | |
2603 | ||
2604 | Fix e2fsck so it will correctly find and detect duplicate directory | |
2605 | entries for non-indexed directories. ( Addresses Sourceforge Bug: | |
2606 | #2862551) | |
2607 | ||
2608 | Mke2fs will use BLKDISCARD to pre-discard all blocks on an SSD or | |
2609 | thinly-provisioned storage device. This can be disabled using the -K | |
2610 | option. | |
2611 | ||
2612 | Enhance libext2fs so it works around bug in Linux version 2.6.19 | |
2613 | and earlier where the /proc/swaps file was missing the header on | |
2614 | the first line. | |
2615 | ||
2616 | Fix bug in Linux version 2.6.19 and earlier where the /proc/swaps file | |
2617 | was missing the header on the first line. | |
2618 | ||
2619 | Fix some big-endian bugs in e2fsck and libext2fs. | |
2620 | ||
2621 | Fix resize2fs so it works correctly on file systems with external | |
2622 | journals instead of failing early with the error "Illegal inode | |
2623 | number". | |
2624 | ||
2625 | Fix libss so that it does not seg fault when using a readline library | |
2626 | which does not supply a readline_shutdown() function. | |
2627 | ||
2628 | Updated dumpe2fs's usage message so it correctly gives the right | |
2629 | arguments summary for "-o superblock=<num>" and "-o blocksize=<num>". | |
2630 | (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #448099) | |
2631 | ||
2632 | Teach libext2fs to ignore the high 32 bits of the i_blocks field | |
2633 | when huge_file file system feature is set, but the inode does not | |
2634 | have the HUGE_FILE_FL flag set. | |
2635 | ||
2636 | Fix e2fsck's handling of 64-bit i_blocks fields. | |
2637 | ||
2638 | E2fsck will now print "Illegal indirect block", "Illegal | |
2639 | double-indirect block", etc., instead of "Illegal block #-1" or | |
2640 | "Illegal block #-2", etc. This makes it easier for users to | |
2641 | understand what has gone wrong. (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #2871782) | |
2642 | ||
2643 | Mke2fs now will obtain get device topology information from blkid and | |
2644 | use it to populate the superblock stride and stripe sizes. It will | |
2645 | also warn if the block device is misaligned | |
2646 | ||
2647 | Fix file descriptor leaks in fsck and debugfs. (Addresses Novell Bug: | |
2648 | ##524526) | |
2649 | ||
2650 | Fix the libext2fs library code to round up the bitmap size to a 4-byte | |
2651 | boundary, to prevent spurious seg faults caused by the x86 | |
2652 | architecture. This doesn't affect Linux systems, but was a major | |
2653 | problem on a number of *BSD systems. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: | |
2654 | #2328708) | |
2655 | ||
2656 | Fix resize2fs's minimum size required for a file system so it doesn't | |
2657 | fail when "resize2fs -M" is run. (Addresses RedHat Bugzilla: #519131) | |
2658 | ||
2659 | Dumpe2fs now prints summary information about the contents of the | |
2660 | journal. | |
2661 | ||
2662 | Avoid printing scary error messages when e2fsck starts running | |
2663 | problems on low-memory systems, as it tends to panic and mislead the | |
2664 | user. (Addresses Debian Bug: #509529) | |
2665 | ||
2666 | Fix blkid's modules.dep parser so it handles compressed (.ko.gz) | |
2667 | modules files. (Address Red Hat Bug: #518572) | |
2668 | ||
2669 | Fix tune2fs so it can add a journal when an extent-enabled file system | |
2670 | is mounted. (Addresses Launchpad bug: #416648) | |
2671 | ||
2672 | Update Czech, Indonesian, Polish and Vietnamese translations (from the | |
2673 | Translation Project). | |
2674 | ||
2675 | Update/clarify man pages. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2822186) | |
2676 | ||
2677 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for | |
2678 | details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #540111) | |
2679 | ||
2680 | Programmer's Notes | |
2681 | ------------------ | |
2682 | ||
2683 | The configure script supports the --with-cc, --with-ccopts, and | |
2684 | --with-ldopts options. Instead, the more standard use of CC=, | |
2685 | CCFLAGS=, and LDFLAGS= in the configure command line is used instead. | |
2686 | Also, --with-ld, which never worked, was also removed. | |
2687 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2843248) | |
2688 | ||
2689 | The in-tree header files are only used if the in-tree uuid or blkid | |
2690 | libraries are used. Otherwise, use the system-provided uuid or blkid | |
2691 | header files if using the system-provided libraries. | |
2692 | ||
2693 | Fix some build failures caused by --disable-* configure options. | |
2694 | ||
2695 | Work around a bug in autoconf 2.64. | |
2696 | ||

2698 | E2fsprogs 1.41.9 (August 22, 2009) |
2699 | ================================== | |
2700 | ||
2701 | Fix a bug in e2fsck routines for reallocating an inode table which | |
2702 | could cause it to loop forever on an ext4 filesystem with the FLEX_BG | |
2703 | filesystem feature with a relatively rare (and specific) filesystem | |
2704 | corruption. This fix causes e2fsck to try to find space for a new | |
2705 | portion of the inode table in the containing flex_bg, and if that | |
2706 | fails, the new portion of the inode table will be allocated in any | |
2707 | free space available in the filesystem. | |
2708 | ||
2709 | Make e2fsck less annoying by only asking for permission to relocate a | |
2710 | block group's inode table once, instead of for every overlapping | |
2711 | block. Similarly, only ask once to recompute the block group | |
2712 | checksums, instead of once for each corrupted block group's checksum. | |
2713 | ||
2714 | Fix filefrag to avoid print the extent header if the FIEMAP ioctl is | |
2715 | not present, and it needs to fall back to using the FIBMAP ioctl. | |
2716 | ||
2717 | Fix filefrag to correctly print the number of extents for zero-length | |
2718 | files. (Addresses Debian Bug: #540376) | |
2719 | ||
2720 | Filefrag now has a -B option which forces the use of the FIBMAP ioctl | |
2721 | to more easily debug the FIBMAP code. | |
2722 | ||
2723 | Fixed filefrag for non-extent based files. | |
2724 | ||
2725 | Add a new program, e2freefrag, which displays information about the | |
2726 | free space fragmentation in an ext2/3/4 filesystem. | |
2727 | ||
2728 | Fix inode resizing via tune2fs -I so that it works correctly in the | |
2729 | face of non-empty bad blocks inodes, and if the filesystem was | |
2730 | formatted using the "mke2fs -E stride=N" option for RAID arrays. | |
776a374a TT |
2731 | |
2732 | Fix regression in ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() caused e2fsck -fD to fail | |
2733 | and corrupt large directories if the directory needs to shrink by more | |
2734 | than one block. (Addresses Debian Bug: #537510) | |
2735 | ||
2736 | Fix e2fsck's buggy_init_scritps=1 so that the if the last write and/or | |
2737 | last mount times are in the future, they are corrected even if | |
2738 | buggy_init_scripts is set. This is needed because otherwise resize2fs | |
2739 | will refuse to resize the filesystem, even after running "e2fsck -f". | |
2740 | (Addresses Launchpad bug: #373409) | |
edde3e51 TT |
2741 | |
2742 | E2fsck will now print much fuller information when the last mount time | |
2743 | or last written time is in the future, since most people can't seem to | |
2744 | believe their distribution has buggy init scripts, or they have a | |
2745 | failed CMOS/RTS clock battery. | |
2746 | ||
2747 | Enhance dumpe2fs to dump the extent information via the 'stat' | |
2748 | command, and more detailed extent information via the new command | |
2749 | 'dump_extents'. | |
776a374a | 2750 | |
edde3e51 TT |
2751 | Update French, Polish, Czech, and Sweedish translation from the |
2752 | Translation Project. | |
776a374a TT |
2753 | |
2754 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for | |
2755 | details. | |
2756 | ||
2757 | Programmer's Notes | |
2758 | ------------------ | |
2759 | ||
2760 | Fixed miscellaneous gcc -Wall warnings. | |
2761 | ||
2762 | Fixed memory leak in error path in ext2fs_block_iterate2() | |
2763 | ||
2764 | Fixed non-Linux build of the intl directory by adding support for the | |
2765 | E/Q/V macros. | |
2766 | ||
edde3e51 TT |
2767 | The bitmap read/write functions now treat uninitialized bitmaps as |
2768 | unallocated; this fixes a number of problems in all e2fsprogs for ext4 | |
2769 | filesystems when there is a need to allocate new blocks or inodes, and | |
2770 | there aren't any free blocks or inodes in the already-used block | |
2771 | groups. | |
2772 | ||
776a374a TT |
2773 | Improve ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() to avoid creating new extents which |
2774 | get inserted into the extent tree when they are not needed. | |

2777 | E2fsprogs 1.41.8 (July 11, 2009) |
2778 | ================================ | |
24a24cc6 TT |
2779 | |
2780 | Fix resize2fs's online resizing, fixing a regression which in | |
2781 | e2fpsrogs 1.41.7. (Addresses Debian Bug: #535452) | |
2782 | ||
2783 | Fix potential filesystem corruptions caused by using resize2fs to | |
989a01f8 TT |
2784 | shrinking ext4 filesystems with extents enabled. (Addresses Red Hat |
2785 | Bug: #510379) | |
24a24cc6 TT |
2786 | |
2787 | Optimize uuid_generate() to avoid running uuidd if it is not setuid or | |
2788 | setgid and the currently running program doesn't have write access to | |
2789 | the uuidd work directory. | |
2790 | ||
2791 | Add safety checks (for non-Linux systems) so that uuidd isn't run with | |
2792 | file descriptors 0, 1, and 2 closed; and if they are closed, uuidd | |
2793 | will be careful not to close the file descriptor for its unix domain | |
2794 | socket when it detaches itself from the controlling tty. Also add | |
2795 | safety checks so that if the unix domain socket between the uuid | |
2796 | library and uuidd program is closed for any reason, both the library | |
2797 | and the uuidd will return an appropriate error code instead of looping | |
2798 | in an infinite loop. | |
2799 | ||
2800 | The e2croncheck script, which creates an LVM snapshot and then checks | |
2801 | the ext3/4 filesystem via the LVM snapshot, has been added to the | |
2802 | contrib directory. | |
2803 | ||
2804 | Fix filefrag program for files that have more than 144 extents. | |
2805 | ||
989a01f8 TT |
2806 | Update French, Polish, Czech, Indonsian, and Sweedish translation from |
2807 | the Translation Project. | |
2808 | ||
2809 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for | |
2810 | details. (Addresses Debian Bug #535530) | |
24a24cc6 TT |

2812 | Update/clarify man pages. | |
2813 | ||
2814 | Programmer's Notes | |
2815 | ------------------ | |
2816 | ||
2817 | Fix compilation problem when configured with --disable-uuid. | |
2818 | ||
2819 | Don't build uuidgen if configured with --disable-uuid. | |
2820 | ||
989a01f8 TT |
2821 | Add the new library function ext2fs_test_inode_bitmap_range(), and |
2822 | optimized ext2fs_test_block_bitmap_range(), which will be needed for | |
2823 | future optimizations for e2fsck. | |
2824 | ||
24a24cc6 TT |
2825 | Fix makefile dependencies for libcom_err so that the Makefiles work |
2826 | well on non-GNU make program. (Addresses Sourceforge Patches: #2813809) | |
2827 | ||
2828 | Enhance the build system so that the full set of commands executed by | |
2829 | the Makefiles are displayed, instead of the Linux kernel summary | |
2830 | output, if the build was configured with --enable-verbose-makecmds, or | |
2831 | if GNU make is in use and the V variable is non-null, i.e., via "make | |
2832 | V=1". | |

d9206a34 TT |
2835 | E2fsprogs 1.41.7 (June 29, 2009) |
2836 | ================================ | |
2837 | ||
2838 | Fix a bug in libext2fs which can cause e2fsck and resize2fs to write | |
2839 | uninitalized data into the portion of the inode beyond the first 128 | |
2840 | bytes when operating on inodes mapped via extents; potentially | |
2841 | corrupting filesystems. | |
2842 | ||
2843 | Fix memory leaks in e2fsprogs, including a very large memory leak | |
2844 | which can cause e2fsck to run out of memory when checking very large | |
2845 | filesystems using extents. | |
2846 | ||
2847 | The logsave program will now filter out the ^A and ^B characters when | |
2848 | writing to the console. | |
2849 | ||
2850 | Harden ext2fs_validate_entry() so that lsdel will not read beyond the | |
2851 | end of the block even if the directory block is corrupted. | |
2852 | ||
2853 | Fix debugfs from core dumping if the logdump command fails to open the | |
2854 | output file. | |
2855 | ||
2856 | Enhance badblocks to print the currently tested block number when | |
2857 | interrupted with ^C. | |
2858 | ||
2859 | Fix lsattr to exit with a non-zero status when it encounters errors. | |
2860 | (Addresses RedHat Bugzilla #489841) | |
2861 | ||
2862 | Fix e2fsprogs to use the same encoding for rec_len in 64k (and larger) | |
2863 | filesystems as the kernel when encoding rec_len >= 64k. For 64k | |
2864 | filesystems (currently all that is supported by e2fsprogs, this is | |
2865 | only a minor corner case). | |
2866 | ||
2867 | Resize2fs will now update the journal backup fileds in the sup0erblock | |
2868 | if the journal is moved; this avoids an unnecessary full fsck after | |
2869 | resizing the filesystem. (Addresses RedHat Bugzilla: #505339) | |
2870 | ||
2871 | Fix libext2fs to properly initialize i_extra_size when creating the | |
2872 | journal and resize inodes. | |
2873 | ||
2874 | Change badblocks to allow block sizes larger than 4k. | |
2875 | ||
2876 | Fix filefrag progam so it correctly checks for errors from the fiemap ioctl. | |
2877 | ||
2878 | Update Chinese and Czech translation from the Translation Project. | |
2879 | ||
2880 | Clean up various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug #531385 and #523063) | |
2881 | ||
2882 | ||
2883 | Programmer's Notes | |
2884 | ------------------ | |
2885 | ||
2886 | Add --disable-libuuid option to configure which uses an in-system | |
2887 | installed version of libuuid; the private version is enabled by | |
2888 | default. | |
2889 | ||
2890 | Add --valgrind-leakcheck option to the test_script program which runs | |
2891 | valgrind with the appropriate options to find memory leaks. | |

2894 | E2fsprogs 1.41.6 (May 30, 2009) |
2895 | =============================== | |
2896 | ||
2897 | Fix a critical regression in e2fsck introduced version 1.41.5 which | |
2898 | can undo updates to the block group descriptors after a journal replay. | |
2899 | ||
2900 | If e2fsck receives an I/O error while replaying the journal, prompt | |
2901 | the user whether they want to ignore the error or not; if e2fsck is | |
2902 | run in preen mode, force fsck to abort the preen pass. | |
2903 | ||
2904 | Fix a bug which would cause e2fsck to core dump if the filesystem | |
2905 | contains a corrupt extent header, and the user declines to clear the | |
2906 | inode. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2791794) | |
2907 | ||
2908 | Fix e2fsck to restart only once in the case of multiple block groups | |
2909 | which inodes in use that are in the uninitialized part of the block | |
2910 | group's inode table. | |
2911 | ||
2912 | To reduce user confusion, if the /etc/mtab file is missing | |
2913 | ext2fs_check_mount_point and ext2fs_check_if_mounted will return a | |
2914 | new, explicit error code to indicate this case. This will cause | |
2915 | e2fsck to give a clearer error message when the user is using buggy | |
2916 | rescue CD's that don't properly set up /etc/mtab. (Addresses Debian | |
2917 | Bug: #527859) | |
2918 | ||
2919 | Fix e2fsck so that if the primary group descriptors are corrupted, but | |
2920 | the backup superblock is entirely invalid, to go back to using (and | |
2921 | fixing) the priary group descriptors instead of completely giving up | |
2922 | on the filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug: #516820) | |
2923 | ||
2924 | Change e2fsck to not abort a preen pass if an inode is found to have | |
2925 | i_file_acl_hi non-zero. Ext3 filesystems don't care, and newer | |
2926 | kernels (post 2.6.29) will ignore this field. So let's fix it | |
2927 | automatically during the preen pass instead of forcing the user to fix | |
2928 | this up manually. (Addresses Debian Bug: #526524) | |
2929 | ||
2930 | Add resource tracking for e2fsck passes 1b through 1d. | |
2931 | ||
2932 | Speed up e2fsck by eliminating unnecessary journal checks if the | |
2933 | filesystem is already mounted and doesn't need recovery (since the | |
2934 | kernel would have run the journal when the filesystem was mounted.) | |
2935 | Also speed up e2fsck by avoiding unnecessary block group descriptor | |
2936 | updates in ext2fs_close(). | |
2937 | ||
2938 | Add support to chattr to migrate inodes from using direct/indirect | |
2939 | blocks to extents. | |
2940 | ||
2941 | Avoid corrupting the filesystem if there is an attempt to shrink a | |
2942 | filesystem using resize2fs smaller than posible by making | |
2943 | ext2fs_set_bmap() more careful not to delete the old block until the | |
2944 | new block can be inserted. In addition, fix a bug in how the minimum | |
2945 | size of the filesystem (plus a safety margin) is calculated, and | |
2946 | modify resize2fs to refuse to shrink the filesystem below that minimum | |
2947 | size without the force flag. | |
2948 | ||
2949 | Teach blkid to try to figure out DM device names using take advantage | |
2950 | of information in sysfs when running on kernels (2.6.29 and later) | |
2951 | which provide this information in /sys/block/dm-<N>/dm/name; this is | |
2952 | much faster than scanning for the devncie number in /dev/mapper. | |
2953 | ||
2954 | Fix blkid to prefer /dev/mapper/<name> device names instad of the | |
2955 | private /dev/dm-X names. | |
2956 | ||
2957 | Add an -a option to debugfs's close_filesys command which writes any | |
2958 | changes to the superblock or block group descriptors to all of the | |
2959 | backup superblock locations. | |
2960 | ||
2961 | Add support to the filefrag program to use the FIEMAP ioctl. | |
2962 | ||
2963 | Update Chinese translation from the Translation Project. | |
2964 | ||
2965 | Clean up various man pages. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #502971 and | |
2966 | Launchpad Bug: #381854) | |
2967 | ||
2968 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for | |
2969 | details. (Addresses Debian Bug #506064) | |
2970 | ||
2971 | ||
2972 | Programmer's Notes | |
2973 | ------------------ | |
2974 | ||
2975 | Add test code to make sure e2fsck's problem.c doesn't have two problem | |
2976 | codes assigned to duplicate values. | |
2977 | ||
2978 | Avoid using a hard-coded path for /bin/rm in block's test_probe.in. | |
2979 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2780205) | |
2980 | ||
2981 | Clean up e2fsck by removing #ifdef RESOURCE_TRACK by adding an empty | |
2982 | function declaration for init_resource_track() and | |
2983 | print_resource_track() when RESOURCE_TRACK is not defined. | |
2984 | ||
2985 | The test code which is used to build the tst_csum progam has been | |
2986 | moved from from tst_csum.c into csum.c under an #ifdef DEBUG to to | |
2987 | avoid compile problems caused by not having a prototype for | |
2988 | ext2fs_group_desc_csum(). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug #2484331) | |
2989 | ||
2990 | Update the config.guess and config.sub file to the latest from the | |
2991 | FSF, to allow e2fsprogs to build on the avr32 platform. (Addresses | |
2992 | Debian Bug: #528330) | |
2993 | ||
2994 | Add a new function, ext2fs_extent_open2(), which behaves like | |
2995 | pext2fs_extent_open(), but uses the user-supplied inode structure | |
2996 | when opening an extent instead of reading the inode from disk. | |
2997 | ||

2999 | E2fsprogs 1.41.5 (April 23, 2009) |
3000 | ================================= | |
daf3c82d TT |
3001 | |
3002 | Fix a number of filesystem corruption bugs in resize2fs when growing | |
3003 | or shrinking ext4 filesystems off-line (i.e., when the ext4 filesystem | |
3004 | is not mounted). | |
3005 | ||
3006 | Debugfs can now set i_file_acl_high via the set_inodes_field command, | |
3007 | and print a 64-bit file acl. This is useful for debugging filesystem | |
898ddb06 TT |
3008 | corruptions where the high bits of i_file_acl_high are set. E2fsck |
3009 | will detect and fix non-zero i_file_acl_high on 32-bit filesystems | |
3010 | since some Linux kernel versions pay attention to this field even when | |
3011 | they shouldn't. | |
daf3c82d | 3012 | |
e60c25b0 TT |
3013 | Speed up e2fsck when checking clean filesystems by avoiding |
3014 | unnecessary block reads, and coalescing the block group descriptor | |
3015 | blocks so they are read using a single read operation. | |
3016 | ||
daf3c82d TT |
3017 | The libuuid library will now close all file descriptors before running |
3018 | uuidd. This avoids problems when the calling program has open sockets | |
3019 | which then never get closed because uuidd is a long-running helper | |
3020 | daeomn. (Addresses Launchpad bug: #305057) | |
3021 | ||
3022 | In order to avoid unnecessary full filesystem checks by e2fsck after | |
3023 | an on-line resize, e2fsck will ignore the NEEDS_RECOVERY flag set on | |
3024 | the backup superblocks. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #471925) | |
3025 | ||
3026 | Mke2fs will avoid trying to create the journal when run in | |
3027 | superblock-only mode (mke2fs -S), since the left-over journal in the | |
3028 | inode table will cause mke2fs to fail. | |
3029 | ||
e60c25b0 TT |
3030 | Fix a bug in libext2fs functions that check to see if a particular |
3031 | device or filesystem image is mounted, which would cause these | |
3032 | functions to report that a file identical to the (relative) pathname | |
3033 | used by a pseudo-filesystem was mounted when in fact it was not. | |
3034 | ||
daf3c82d TT |
3035 | Update Czech translation from the Translation Project. |
3036 | ||
e60c25b0 TT |
3037 | Add Chinese (simplified) translation from the Translation Project. |
3038 | ||
daf3c82d TT |
3039 | Fix support for external journals (which was broken in e2fsprogs |
3040 | 1.41.4). | |
3041 | ||
3042 | Fix a regression in debugfs where the "stat" command when no | |
3043 | filesystem was open would cause debugfs to crash with a segmentation | |
3044 | violation. | |
3045 | ||
3046 | Starting in the 2.6.29 linux kernel, the ext4 filesystem driver can be | |
3047 | used to support filesystems without a journal. Update the blkid | |
3048 | library so it understands this. | |
3049 | ||
e60c25b0 TT |
3050 | The blkid library will remove an entry from the blkid cache |
3051 | representing the entire disk if partitions are found, since presuambly | |
3052 | the device previously had no partition table, but has now transitioned | |
3053 | to using a partition table. | |
3054 | ||
daf3c82d TT |
3055 | Add a check to mke2fs and tune2fs that the argument to the -m option |
3056 | (which specifies the reserved ratio) must be greater than zero. | |
3057 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #517015) | |
3058 | ||
3059 | Add support for tracking the number kilobytes written to the | |
3060 | filesystem via the superblock field s_kbytes_written. It will be | |
3061 | updated by the kernel as well as by e2fsprogs programs which write to | |
3062 | the filesystem. This is useful for tracking the wear to filesystems | |
3063 | on Solid Sstate Drives. | |
3064 | ||
3065 | Fix compatibility issue in the libext2fs info file and makeinfo | |
3066 | version 4.12. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #481620) | |
3067 | ||
e60c25b0 | 3068 | Update/clarify man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug: #515693, #365619) |
daf3c82d TT |
3069 | |
3070 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for | |
3071 | details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #506279) | |
3072 | ||
3073 | Programmer's Notes | |
3074 | ------------------ | |
3075 | ||
3076 | Fix Hurd compilation problem in e2fsck and tune2fs (Addresses Debian | |
3077 | Bug: #521602) | |
3078 | ||
3079 | Fix various gcc compilation warnings and other programming cleanups. | |
e60c25b0 | 3080 | (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #486997) |
daf3c82d TT |
3081 | |
3082 | Add support for building the blkid command statically. | |
3083 | ||
e60c25b0 TT |
3084 | Add support for disabling the built-in blkid library in favor of a |
3085 | system-installed blkid implementation via the configure option | |
3086 | --disable-libblkid. | |
3087 | ||
daf3c82d | 3088 | |
b2ca48f4 TT |
3089 | E2fsprogs 1.41.4 (January 27, 2009) |
3090 | =================================== | |
3091 | ||
3092 | Fixed a bug which could sometimes cause blkid to return an exit value | |
3093 | of zero for a non-existent device (Addresses Debian Bug: #502541) | |
3094 | ||
3095 | Blkid will now recognize ext3 filesystems that have the test_fs flag | |
3096 | set as ext3 filesystems. | |
3097 | ||
3098 | The blkid library will now recognize btrfs filesystems and swap | |
3099 | devices currently used by user-level software suspend. | |
3100 | ||
3101 | Tune2fs now updates the block group checksums when changing the UUID | |
3102 | to avoid causing e2fsck to complain vociferously at the next reboot. | |
3103 | ||
3104 | Tune2fs's inode size resizing algorithms have been fixed so it is not | |
3105 | vastly inefficient for moderate-to-large filesystems, due to some | |
3106 | O(n**2) and O(n*m) algorithms that didn't scale well at all. | |
3107 | ||
3108 | Fix tune2fs's inode resizing algorithm so it will not corrupt | |
3109 | filesystems laid out for RAID filesystems; in addition, tune2fs will | |
3110 | refuse to change the inode size for filesystems that have the flex_bg | |
3111 | feature enabled. (This is a limitation in the current implementation | |
3112 | of tune2fs -I.) | |
3113 | ||
3114 | E2fsprogs 1.41 broke debugfs's logdump command for normal ext3/4 | |
3115 | filesystems with 32-bit block numbers, when the headers for 64-bit | |
3116 | block numbers was added. This regression has been fixed. | |
3117 | ||
3118 | Debugfs's ncheck command has been fixed to avoid printing garbage | |
3119 | characters at the end of file names. | |
3120 | ||
3121 | Fix resize2fs for ext4 filesystems. Some blocks that that need moving | |
3122 | when shrinking filesystems with uninit_bg feature would not be moved. | |
3123 | In addition, blocks and inode table blocks were not being correctly | |
3124 | freed when shrinking filesystems with the flex_bg feable, which caused | |
3125 | resize2fs -M to fail. Finally, when blocks are moved, make sure the | |
3126 | uninitialized flag in extents is preserved. | |
3127 | ||
3128 | Fix bug which caused dumpe2fs to abort with an error if run on a | |
3129 | filesystem that contained an external journal. | |
3130 | ||
3131 | Some distributions used "mke3fs" as an alias for "mkfs.ext3"; check | |
3132 | for this in argv[0] to provide better legacy support for these | |
3133 | distributions. This is a practice that should NOT be continued, | |
3134 | however. | |
3135 | ||
3136 | Mke2fs now has a new option -U, which allows the user to specify the | |
3137 | UUID that should be used for the new filesystem. | |
3138 | ||
3139 | Mke2fs will treat devices that are exactly 16TB as if they were 16TB | |
3140 | minus one block. This allows users who have read that ext3 supports | |
3141 | up to 16TB filesystems and who create a 16TB LVM to not get confused, | |
3142 | since the true limit is really 16TB minus one block. | |
3143 | ||
3144 | E2fsck will no longer abort an fsck run if block group has an errant | |
3145 | INODE_UNINIT flag. | |
3146 | ||
3147 | E2fsck now distinguishes between fragmented directories and fragmented | |
3148 | files in verbose mode statistics and in the fragcheck report. | |
3149 | ||
3150 | Fix a bug in e2fsck which casued it double count non-contiguous | |
3151 | extent-based inodes. | |
3152 | ||
3153 | E2fsck will leave some slack space when repacking directories to allow | |
3154 | room for a few directory entries to be added without causing leaf | |
3155 | nodes to be split right away. | |
3156 | ||
3157 | Fix a bug which caused e2fsck to crash when it comes across a | |
3158 | corrupted interior node in an extent tree with the error message: | |
3159 | "Error1: Corrupt extent header on inode XXXXXX" | |
3160 | ||
3161 | E2fsck problem descriptions involving the journal are no longer | |
3162 | referred to as "ext3" problems, since ext4 filesystems also have | |
3163 | journals. | |
3164 | ||
3165 | Fix a long-standing bug in e2fsck which would cause it to crash when | |
3166 | replying journals for filesystems with block sizes greater than 8k. | |
3167 | ||
3168 | Update Catalan translation from the Translation Project. | |
3169 | ||
3170 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for | |
3171 | details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #503057, #502323, #511207) | |
3172 | ||
3173 | Programmer's Notes | |
3174 | ------------------ | |
3175 | ||
3176 | Fix build of e2fsck.profiled, and add support for building profiled | |
3177 | binaries in the misc directory if configured with --enable-profile. | |
3178 | ||
3179 | The ext2fs_open() function now performs more sanity checks on the | |
3180 | superblock to avoid potential divide by zero errors by other parts of | |
3181 | library. | |
3182 | ||
3183 | The ext2fs_read_inode_full() function now has a safety check to avoid | |
3184 | a segmentation fault on corrupted filesystems. | |
3185 | ||
3186 | The ext2fs_new_inode() function now has a sanity check so that if the | |
3187 | s_first_inode field in the superblock is insane, it will return | |
3188 | EXT2_ET_INODE_ALLOC_FAIL instead of returning an invalid inode number. | |
3189 | ||
3190 | To avoid segmentation faults, ext2fs_block_alloc_stats() and | |
3191 | ext2fs_inode_alloc_stats() now validates the passed inode or block | |
3192 | number to avoid overrunning an array boundary. | |
3193 | ||
3194 | Various signed/unsigned errors for variables containing block numbers | |
3195 | have been fixed. | |
3196 | ||
3197 | Accomodations for gcc's stupidity in not realizing that constant | |
3198 | strings that do not contain a '%' character are safe to use in format | |
3199 | strings have been made so that distributions that want to compile | |
3200 | e2fsprogs with -Werror=format-security have an easier time doing so. | |
3201 | ||
3202 | Added a new 64-bit getsize interface, ext2fs_get_device_size2(). | |
3203 | ||
3204 | Added the utility make-sparse.c to the contrib directory. | |
3205 | ||
3206 | The ext2fs_block_iterate2() function now reflects errors from | |
3207 | ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() to the caller, if the callback tries to | |
3208 | change a block on an extent-based file, and ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() | |
3209 | fails for some reason (for example, there isn't enough disk space to | |
3210 | split a node and expand the extent tree. | |
3211 | ||
3212 | The ext2fs_block_iterate2() function will preserve the uninit flag in | |
3213 | extents when the callback function modifies a block in an extent-based | |
3214 | file. | |
3215 | ||
3216 | E2fsck will now flag filesystems that have an insane s_first_ino field | |
3217 | in their superblock, and attempt to use a backup superblock to repair | |
3218 | the filesystem. | |
3219 | ||
3220 | ||
df547ae8 TT |
3221 | E2fsprogs 1.41.3 (October 12, 2008) |
3222 | =================================== | |
3223 | ||
3224 | E2fsck has been fixed so it prints the correct inode number for | |
3225 | uinit_bg related problems. | |
3226 | ||
3227 | E2fsck will now offer to clear the test_fs flag if the ext4 filesystem | |
3228 | is available on linux. This can be disabled via a configuration | |
3229 | option in /etc/e2fsck.conf. | |
3230 | ||
3231 | Fix a file descriptor leak in libblkid when checking to see if an ext4 | |
3232 | or ext4dev module exists. | |
3233 | ||
3234 | Fix a bug in e2fsck where in preen mode, if there are disk I/O errors | |
3235 | while trying to close a filesystem can lead to infinite loops. | |
3236 | (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #465679) | |
3237 | ||
3238 | Fix a bug in resize2fs where passing in a bogus new size of 0 blocks | |
3239 | will cause resize2fs to drop into an infinite loop. (Addresses Red | |
3240 | Hat Bugzilla: #465984) | |
3241 | ||
3242 | Add a check in the Unix I/O functions in libext2fs so that when a | |
3243 | device is opened read/write, return an error if the device is | |
3244 | read-only using the BLKROGET ioctl. | |
3245 | ||
3246 | Fix debugfs's ncheck command so that it prints all of the names of | |
3247 | hardlinks in the same directory. | |
3248 | ||
3249 | Fix a bug in libblkid so it correctly detects whether the ext4 and | |
3250 | ext4dev filesystems are available, so that the ext4dev->ext4 | |
3251 | fallback code works correctly. | |
3252 | ||
3253 | Programmer's Notes | |

3258 | #2143281) | |
3259 | ||

3261 | ||
3262 | ||
c12125f7 TT |
3263 | E2fsprogs 1.41.2 (October 2, 2008) |
3264 | ================================== | |
3265 | ||
3266 | Fix e2fsck's automatic blocksize detection. This fixes a regression | |
3267 | from e2fsprogs 1.40.7 which caused e2fsck to fail if the user | |
3268 | specifies a block number using the -b option if the blocksize option | |
3269 | isn't also specified using -B. Unfortunately, users very commonly | |
3270 | invoke e2fsck using "e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/hdXXX" to use the backup | |
3271 | superblock; in fack e2fsck will often suggest this kind of command | |
3272 | line. Oops. | |
3273 | ||
3274 | Enhance the debugfs's "ncheck" command so it will print all of the | |
3275 | pathnames for the specified inodes. (Previously, in some cases ncheck | |
3276 | might not print a pathname for an inode at all if some of the other | |
3277 | inodes had multiple hard links.) | |
3278 | ||
3279 | Enhance debugfs's "hash" command so the hash seed can be specified via | |
3280 | a command-line option. In addition, allow the hash algorithm to be | |
3281 | specified by name instead of just by number. | |
3282 | ||
3283 | Fix e2fsck so that we don't accidentally print the translation file's | |
3284 | header when asking the user a custom question so there is no prompt | |
3285 | defined for a particular problem record. For example, the question | |
3286 | "Run journal anyway" will get the PO header tacked on because e2fsck | |
3287 | erroneously passed the null string to _(). (Addresses Launchpad Bug: | |
3288 | #246892) | |
3289 | ||
3290 | Enhance badblocks so that it can test a normal file which is greater | |
3291 | than 2GB. | |
3292 | ||
3293 | Enhance the badblocks command so that it displays the time and | |
3294 | percentage complete when in verbose mode. (Addresses Debian Bug: | |
3295 | #429739) | |
3296 | ||
3297 | Fix a potential memory leak in a error handling path in debugfs's | |
3298 | ncheck function. | |
3299 | ||
3300 | Fix a potential memory corruption problem if a memory allocation fails | |
3301 | in resize2fs. | |
3302 | ||
3303 | Fix the usage message for debugfs's logdump command to be consistent | |
3304 | with its man manpage. | |
3305 | ||
3306 | Update Polish, French, Vietnamese, Dutch, Indonesian, German, Czech, | |
3307 | and Sweedish translation from the Translation Project. | |
3308 | ||
3309 | Add documentation for the file I/O functions to the libext2fs.texinfo | |
3310 | file. (Addresses Debian Bug: #484877) | |
3311 | ||
3312 | Update and clarified various man pages. (Addresses Launchpad Bug | |

3318 | Programmer's Notes | |
3319 | ------------------ | |
3320 | ||
3321 | Fix a potential file descriptor leack in libcom_err by setting the | |
3322 | close-on-exec flag for a fd used for debugging. (Addresses Red Hat | |
3323 | Bugzilla #464689) | |
3324 | ||
3325 | Fix a potential race in libcom_err by using sem_post/sem_init. SuSE | |
3326 | has been carrying a patch for a long time to prevent a largely | |
3327 | theoretical race condition if a multi-threaded application adds and | |
3328 | removes error tables in multiple threads. Unfortunately SuSE's | |
3329 | approach breaks compatibility by forcing applications to link and | |
3330 | compile with the -pthread option; using pthread mutexes has | |
3331 | historically been problematic. We fix this by using sem_post/sem_init | |
3332 | instead. | |
3333 | ||
3334 | Fix e2fsprogs-libs build failure due to 'subs' target. (Addresses | |
3335 | Sourceforge Bug: #2087502) | |
3336 | ||
3337 | Avoid linking e2initrd_helper, debugfs, blkid, and fsck with unneeded | |
3338 | libraries when using ELF shared libraries. | |
3339 | ||
3340 | Fix ELF shared library when building on systems that don't already | |
3341 | have the e2fsprogs shared libraries already installed. (Addresses | |
3342 | Sourceforge Bug: #2088537) | |
3343 | ||
3344 | Fix the pkg-config files so they work correctly when linking with | |
3345 | static libraries and fix the include directory so programs don't have | |
3346 | to use #include <ext2fs/ext2fs.h>, but can use #include <ext2fs.h> | |
3347 | instead. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2089537) | |
3348 | ||
3349 | Make sure ext2fs_swab64() is compiled for all platforms, and not just | |
3350 | for x86. (Addresses Debian Bug: #497515) | |
3351 | ||
3352 | Remove the unused ext2fs_find_{first,ext}_bit_set() functions for all | |
3353 | non-x86 platforms. (They had been removed for x86 earlier.) | |
3354 | ||
3355 | Fix diet libc compilation support, which had bitrotted due to lack of | |
3356 | TLC. Fixing this improves general portability. | |
3357 | ||
3358 | When installing the link library when using ELF shared libraries, | |
3359 | avoid using absolute pathnames if the link library and the shared | |
3360 | library are installed in the same directory. (Addresses Sourceforge | |
3361 | Bug: #1782913) | |
3362 | ||
3363 | Fix gen-tarball so it will work even if the top-level directory has | |
3364 | been renamed to something other than "e2fsprogs". Also make | |
3365 | gen-tarball print the size of the resulting tar.gz file. | |
3366 | ||

3368 | E2fsprogs 1.41.1 (September 1, 2008) |
3369 | ==================================== | |
30ab7f4c TT |
3370 | |
3371 | Many people are forgetting to update their mke2fs.conf file, and this | |
3372 | causes ext3, ext4, and ext4dev filesystems won't get created with the | |
3373 | proper features enabled. We address this in two ways. First, mke2fs | |
3374 | will issue a warning if there is not definition for an ext3, ext4, or | |
3375 | ext4dev filesystem and the user is trying to create such a filesystem | |
3376 | type. Secondly, when installing from a source build, "make install" | |
3377 | will provide basic configuration file handling for /etc/mke2fs.conf. | |
3378 | If it exists, and does not mention ext4dev, it will be moved aside to | |
3379 | /etc/mke2fs.conf.e2fpsrogs-old and the new /etc/mke2fs.conf file will | |
3380 | be installed. If the existing /etc/mke2fs.conf file does mention | |
3381 | ext4dev, then "make install" will install official mke2fs.conf file as | |
3382 | /etc/mke2fs.conf.e2fsprogs-new and issue a message to the user that | |
3383 | they should look to see if any changes need to be merged. | |
3384 | ||
31d64878 TT |
3385 | The mke2fs program will now create the journal in the middle of the |
3386 | filesystem, since this minimizes seek times on average for fsync-heavy | |
3387 | workloads. In addition, mke2fs will now create journals using extents | |
3388 | for filesystems that support them. This results in a more efficient | |
3389 | encoding for the journal since it eliminates the need for using | |
3390 | indirect blocks. | |
3391 | ||
3392 | The mke2fs program will avoid allocating an extra block to the | |
3393 | journal. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1483791) | |
3394 | ||
3395 | Mke2fs will correctly enforce the prohibition against features | |
3396 | (specifically read-only features) in revision 0 filesystems. (Thanks | |
3397 | to Benno Schulenberg for noticing this problem.) | |
3398 | ||
3399 | Mke2fs previously would occasionaly create some slightly non-optimally | |
3400 | placed inode tables; this bug has been fixed. | |
3401 | ||
3402 | The mke2fs and tune2fs programs now print the correct usage message | |
3403 | describing the maximum journal size. (Addresses Debian Bug: #491620) | |
3404 | ||
3405 | Add support for setting the default hash algorithm used in b-tree | |
3406 | directories in tune2fs (from a command-line option) or mke2fs (via | |
3407 | mke2fs.conf). In addition, change the default hash algorithm to | |
3408 | half_md4, since it is faster and better. | |
30ab7f4c TT |
3409 | |
3410 | The blkid library will now recognize MacOS hfsx filesystems, and | |
3411 | correctly extract the label and uuid for hfs, hfsx, and hfsplus | |
3412 | filesystems. (Addresses Sourceforge Feature Requests: #2060292) | |
3413 | ||
31d64878 TT |
3414 | The blkid library has improved detection of JFS and HPFS filesystems. |
3415 | (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #255255) | |
3416 | ||
3417 | The blkid library is now much more efficiently handling devicemapper | |
3418 | devices, mainly by no longer using the devicemapper library. This can | |
3419 | speed up access for systems with a large number of device mapper | |
3420 | devices. | |
3421 | ||
3422 | Blkid had a number of cache validation bugs in libblkid that have been | |
3423 | fixed. (Addresses Debian Bug: #493216) | |
3424 | ||
30ab7f4c TT |
3425 | Resize2fs will now properly close out the "updating inode references" |
3426 | progress bar so there is a newline printed before printing the final | |
3427 | "resize is successful" message. | |
3428 | ||
3429 | Resize2fs will now correctly handle filesystems with extents and/o | |
3430 | uninitialized block groups correctly when file/directory blocks need | |
3431 | to relocated (i.e., when shrinking a filesystem or if the resize_inode | |
3432 | is not present). To support this, the ext2fs library now supports | |
3433 | initializing inode and block bitmaps that are not yet initialized when | |
3434 | allocating them using ext2fs_new_block() and ext2fs_new_inode(). In | |
3435 | addition, e2fs_block_iterate2() can now support changing the location | |
3436 | of interior nodes of an extent tree, and ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() has | |
3437 | been optimized to avoid creating unnecessary new extents when updating | |
3438 | the location of blocks in the extent tree. This will also help out | |
3439 | e2fsck's recovery of obscurely corrupted filesystems with extents, | |
3440 | when blocks are claimed by multiple inodes. | |
3441 | ||
31d64878 TT |
3442 | Add support for on-line resizing ext4 filesystem with the flex_bg |
3443 | filesystem feature. The method for doing so is not optimal, but to do | |
3444 | a better job will require kernel support. | |
3445 | ||
30ab7f4c TT |
3446 | E2fsprogs 1.41.0 intrduced a bug in libext2fs which casued e2image and |
3447 | debugfs programs to not be able to read e2image files; the signed | |
3448 | vs. unsigned bug in the code which read bitmaps from the e2image has | |
3449 | been fixed. (Addresses Debian Bug: #495830) | |
3450 | ||
3451 | Resize2fs is now correctly managing the directory in-use counts when | |
3452 | shrinking filesystems and directory inodes needed to be moved from one | |
3453 | block group to another. This bug has been around since e2fsprogs | |
3454 | 1.26, and is largely harmless, but does cause a filesystem corruption | |
3455 | which will be flagged by e2fsck after the filesystem has been shrunk. | |
3456 | ||
3457 | E2fsck will no longer issue spurious complaints about the inode size | |
3458 | caused by very large extent-based files, and by blocks reallocated | |
3459 | using fallocate() with the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE option. (Addresses | |
3460 | Kernel Bugzilla: #11341) | |
3461 | ||
3462 | Mke2fs will now set the creation timestamp on the lost+found directory | |
3463 | and the root directory. (More generally, all new inodes created using | |
3464 | the ext2fs library will correctly set the creation timestamp.) | |
3465 | ||
3466 | E2fsck now correctly calculates ind/dind/tind statistics in the | |
3467 | presence of extent-based files. In addition, "e2fsck -v" will report | |
3468 | statistics of the depth of extent trees in the filesystem. E2fsck can | |
3469 | also give an inode fragmentation report using "e2fsck -E fragcheck" | |
3470 | which can be useful when debugging the kernel block allocation | |
3471 | routines. | |
3472 | ||
31d64878 TT |
3473 | Fix support for empty directory blocks in ext4 filesystems with 64k |
3474 | blocksize filesystems. | |
3475 | ||
3476 | E2fsck will now print the depth of corrupt htree directories. | |
30ab7f4c TT |
3477 | |
3478 | Debugfs's htree command now correctly understands extent-based | |
3479 | directories. It will also print out the minor hash as well as the | |
3480 | major hash. | |
3481 | ||
31d64878 TT |
3482 | Debugfs has a new command which will print the supported features of |
3483 | e2fsprogs, to enable scripts to know whether the installed version of | |
3484 | e2fsprogs can support a specific feature. | |
3485 | ||
3486 | Debugfs will now write files using extents for filesystems that | |
3487 | support them. | |
3488 | ||
30ab7f4c TT |
3489 | The error message printed by "tune2fs -I" if the inode size was too |
3490 | small was rather confusing, so it has been improved. Also, we won't | |
3491 | try to create an undo log until we know that command-line-specified | |
3492 | parameters such as "tune2fs -I <inode size>" are valid. | |
3493 | ||
30ab7f4c TT |
3494 | Given some filesystems found "in the wild" that had non-zero block |
3495 | group checksums even though the uninit_bg/gdt_sum feature was not | |
3496 | enabled, e2fsck would issue spurious error messages. Teach | |
3497 | ext2fs_group_desc_csum_verify() to ignore the block group checksum | |
3498 | entirely if the feature flag is not set. (Addresses Debian Bug: | |
3499 | #490637) | |
3500 | ||
3501 | The blkid program will now print out a user-friendly listing of all of | |
3502 | the block devices in the system and what they contain when given the | |
3503 | -L option. (Addresses Debian Bug: #490527) | |
3504 | ||
31d64878 TT |
3505 | The filefrag program now has a more accurate calculation for the |
3506 | number of ideal extents. (Addresses Debian Bug: #458306) | |
3507 | ||
3508 | The test I/O manager is now enabled by default, but its overhead is | |
3509 | only incurred when it would be enabled via the TEST_IO_FLAGS or | |
3510 | TEST_IO_BLOCK environment variables. | |
3511 | ||
30ab7f4c TT |
3512 | Typographical errors in various program strings and usage messages |
3513 | have been fixed; most of these were pointed out by the e2fsprogs | |
3514 | message catalog translators. (Thanks, translators!) | |
3515 | ||
3516 | Update and clarified various man pages, as well as some typographical | |
3517 | errors in the libext2fs texinfo file. | |
3518 | ||
3519 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for | |
3520 | details. | |
3521 | ||
3522 | Add Indonesian and update French, Polish, Dutch, German, Sweedish, | |
3523 | Czech, and Vietnamese Translations. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #313697, | |
3524 | #401092) | |
3525 | ||
3526 | Programmer's Notes | |
3527 | ------------------ | |
3528 | ||
3529 | Fix portability problem with the badblocks group; for systems that | |
3530 | don't have nanosleep(), try using usleep() instead. | |
3531 | ||
3532 | The "make check" target in the e2fsck directory now sets | |
3533 | LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running the various e2fsck internal library | |
3534 | regression tests. | |
3535 | ||
3536 | The crc32 regression test in the e2fsck library is now portable to | |
3537 | greater varienty of environments, including big-endian systems and | |
3538 | when cross-building e2fsprogs for embedded systems. (Addresses | |
3539 | Sourceforge Bug: #2019287) | |
3540 | ||
3541 | The ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() had some bugs when setting the first | |
3542 | block in a file, or when replacing a single block extent. Those cases | |
3543 | fortunately were came up relatively rarely when e2fsck was checking | |
3544 | files, but caused some problems when resize2fs was shrinking | |
3545 | extent-based files. | |
3546 | ||
31d64878 TT |
3547 | Fix a potential core-dumping bug in libe2p's iterate_on_dir() |
3548 | function. | |
3549 | ||
3550 | Various ext2fs library functions --- ext2fs_block_iterate2(), | |
3551 | ext2fs_initialize() and ext2fs_extent_open() --- now correctly free | |
3552 | allocated memory to avoid memory leaks in all of their error return | |
3553 | paths. | |
30ab7f4c TT |
3554 | |
3555 | Ext2ed was failing to build because masix support had been removed in | |
3556 | the rest of e2fsprogs, so ext2ed no longer has masix support, either. | |
3557 | ||
3558 | The configure script now respects the LDFLAGS environment variable if | |
3559 | it is set when configure is called. (Addresses Sourceforge Feature | |
3560 | Request: #1937287) | |
3561 | ||
3562 | Libuuid is now more portable to the Windows platform. (Addresses | |
3563 | Sourceforge Feature Request: #1937287) | |
3564 | ||
3565 | The configure script now uses AC_MSG_{RESULT,WARN,ERROR} instead of | |
3566 | bare echo commands so that configure flags such as --quiet work | |
3567 | correctly. (Addresses Sourceforge Patches: #2058794) | |
3568 | ||
3569 | A few uses of sprintf have been removed from the ext2fs library to | |
3570 | make life easier for bootloaders with a limited libc environment. | |
3571 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2049120) | |
3572 | ||
3573 | The ext2fs_read_inode() checks the validity of the inode number passed | |
3574 | to it earlier, to avoid doing some needless work when it would fail | |
3575 | anyway. | |
3576 | ||
3577 | The ext2fs_open() checks the validity of the blocksize parameter | |
3578 | passed to it earlier, to avoid doing some needless work when it would | |
3579 | fail anyway. | |
3580 | ||
3581 | Disable a very annoying automatic "%.sh -> %" GNU make rule in the | |
3582 | top-level Makefile. That automatic rule is used to better support | |
3583 | SCCS, but it caused problems for a particular niche distribution which | |
3584 | likes to use configure.sh files to store the configure options used to | |
3585 | build a package. Unfortuntaely GNU make will use the configure.sh to | |
3586 | replace the configure script, resulting in a self-inflicted fork bomb | |
3587 | leading to an out-of-memory crash. | |
3588 | ||
31d64878 TT |
3589 | To support old GNU C compilers don't use C99/C++ comments, but only |
3590 | K&R style comments, and don't try to use __builtin_expect if __GNUC__ | |
3591 | is less than 3. (__builtin_expect is only supported for gcc versions | |
3592 | 2.96 and up, and it's tricky to check for gcc 2.95 vs gcc 2.96; since | |
3593 | this is an optimization, we only try to use __builtin_expect for gcc 3 | |
3594 | and up.) | |
3595 | ||
3596 | In e2fsck's crc routines, make sure we use WORDS_BIGENDIAN instead of | |
3597 | __LITTLE_ENDIAN, which are only defined by glibc's header files and | |
3598 | hence isn't portable. | |
3599 | ||
3600 | For the convenience for some distributions that need a static tune2fs, | |
3601 | the Makefile for misc/ now has a tune2fs.static target. | |
3602 | ||
3603 | The ext2fs_block_iterate2() function now supports BLOCK_FLAG_APPEND | |
3604 | for extent-based files | |
3605 | ||
3606 | The ext2fs_bmap() function now supports BMAP_ALLOC for extent-based | |
3607 | files. | |
3608 | ||
3609 | All source files no longer have any trailing white space. | |
3610 | ||
3611 | The io_channel_read_blk64() and io_channel_write_blk64() functions are | |
3612 | now functions instead of C preprocessor macros to provide better | |
3613 | forward compatibility. | |
3614 | ||
3615 | The e2fpsrogs translation template now expands the @x abbrevation. | |
3616 | ||
3617 | Various namespace leackages in libblkid, libe2p, and libext2fs have | |
3618 | been fixed. | |
3619 | ||
3620 | Fix a parallel build problem in e2fsprogs. | |
3621 | ||
30ab7f4c TT |
3622 | E2fsprogs is now more portable to Solaris. |
3623 | * blkid no longer assumes that the TIOCGSIZE and TIOCGWINSZ ioctl's | |
3624 | are always present. | |
3625 | * Scripts do not assume that /bin/true is always in /bin | |
3626 | * Don't use __FUNCTION__ since Solaris's C99 doesn't support it. | |
3627 | * Flush stdio handles before calling setbuf(), since Solaris will | |
3628 | discard any pending output to the stream. | |
3629 | * Define _XOPEN_SOURCE to 600 since Solaris's header files are very | |
3630 | picky about which C compiler can beused for SUSv3 conformance. | |
3631 | Use of C99 is not compatible with SUSv2 (_XOPEN_SOURCE=500), | |
3632 | and C89 is not compatible with SUSv3 (_XOPEN_SOURCE=600). | |
3633 | Since we need some SUSv3 functions, consistently use SUSv3 so | |
3634 | that e2fsprogs will build on Solaris using c99. | |
3635 | * Solaris C99 does not support varargs C preprocessor macros | |
3636 | * Solaris header files pollute the C namespace if in/netinet.h | |
3637 | is included, which conflicts with e2fsprogs' use of the kmem_cache_t | |
3638 | typedef. | |
3639 | * Solaris ships with a pathetically ancient shell in /bin/sh so we | |
3640 | avoid the use of various more avanced shell constructs such as $(). | |
3641 | ||
31d64878 TT |
3642 | The "make rpm" command will now take some extra configure optiosn from |
3643 | the build environment without needing to patch the source tree. | |
30ab7f4c | 3644 | |
31d64878 TT |
3645 | The ext2fs_add_dir_block() function will now grow the dblist more |
3646 | aggressively as an optimization to avoid copying the array too often. | |
30ab7f4c | 3647 | |
31d64878 TT |
3648 | The e2fsck_write_bitmaps() will write the block and inode bitmaps |
3649 | together instead of in two passes. | |
30ab7f4c TT |
3650 | |
3651 | ||
92e49d85 TT |
3652 | E2fsprogs 1.41 (July 10, 2008) |
3653 | ============================== | |
795de67f TT |
3654 | |
3655 | Add support for ext4 filesystem features, in particular extents, | |
3656 | uninit_bg, flex_bg, huge_file, and dir_nlink features. Also add | |
3657 | support for checking journal checksums. Debugfs will print new | |
3658 | superblock and inode fields that were defined for ext4. For example, | |
3659 | the nanosecond and i_version fields of an inode, and the | |
3660 | s_min_extra_isize and s_wanted_extra_isize fields from the superblock. | |
3661 | Note: Resize2fs doesn't currently support the combination of flex_bg | |
3662 | and !resize_inode. (Addresses Debian Bug: #388452, #425477) | |
3663 | ||
3664 | Tune2fs can support migrating a filesystem from using 128 byte inodes | |
3665 | to 256 byte inodes, so it can take advantage of the full features of | |
3666 | ext4. | |
3667 | ||
3668 | Add support for "undo" support. E2fsck and mke2fs can optionally | |
3669 | record an undo log which can replayed by the program e2undo. | |
3670 | ||
92e49d85 TT |
3671 | E2fsck could damage a filesystem by trying to relocate inode tables |
3672 | due to corrupted block group descriptors, where the attempted inode | |
3673 | table relocation would do far more harm than good. E2fsck has been | |
3674 | fixed to detect this these sorts of corrupted block group descriptors | |
3675 | much earlier in e2fsck processing, so it can try to use the backup | |
3676 | superblock and block group descriptors first. This should be a much | |
3677 | better strategy for recovering these types of corrupted filesystems. | |
3678 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1840291) | |
3679 | ||
795de67f TT |
3680 | E2fsck will display a more understandable message when the last check |
3681 | field in the superblock is in the future. (Addresses Debian Bug: | |
3682 | #446005). | |
3683 | ||
92e49d85 TT |
3684 | E2fsck now performs more extensive and careful checks of extended |
3685 | attributes stored in the inode. | |
3686 | ||
a41d5ac8 TT |
3687 | Enhance mke2fs to print a more explanatory error message when |
3688 | ext2fs_get_device_size() returns EFBIG. (Addresses Debian Bug: | |
3689 | #488663) | |
3690 | ||
3691 | Fix mke2fs to use a default block size of 4k when formatting an | |

3700 | Fix blkid handling of stale devices. Fix a bug which could cause a |
3701 | core dump while garbage collecting the blkid cache, and assure that | |
3702 | blkid_find_dev_with_tag() never returns a non-existent device. Also, | |
3703 | if a filesystem is found at a new /dev location, eliminate any | |
3704 | duplicate stale entries which can not be verified. | |

3707 | Add more paranoid checks for LVM volumes and swap partitions in |
3708 | blkid's probe function, to reduce the chances of false positives. | |
3709 | ||
3710 | The mke2fs program now has a much more sophisticated system for | |
3711 | controlling configuration parameters of a newly created filesystem | |
3712 | based on a split filesystem and usage type system. The -t option to | |
3713 | mke2fs was a deprecated alias to -c; it now specifies a filesystem | |
3714 | type (ext2, ext3, ext4, etc.), while the -T option can now be a comma | |
3715 | separated usage list. The filesystem type information and type | |
3716 | information is used to extract configuration parameters from the | |
3717 | /etc/mke2fs.conf file. | |
3718 | ||
795de67f TT |
3719 | The mke2fs program will no longer complain and request the -f option |
3720 | when the user tries to create a filesystem with greater than 2**31 | |
3721 | blocks. | |

3723 | When creating a filesystem for the GNU Hurd use a fs-type of Hurd and |
3724 | adjust the mke2fs.conf file so filesystems for the Hurd are created | |
3725 | with a blocksize of 4096 and inode size of 128, which is all it knows | |
3726 | how to handle. (Addresses Debian Bug: #471977) | |
3727 | ||
795de67f TT |
3728 | Mke2fs will always make sure that lost+found always has at least 2 |
3729 | blocks, even for filesystems with very large blocksizes (i.e., 64kb). | |
3730 | ||
92e49d85 TT |
3731 | Resize2fs will now print the minimum needed filesystem size if given |
3732 | the -P option, and will resize the filesystem to the smallest possible | |
3733 | size if given the -M option. | |
3734 | ||
3735 | Fix resize2fs to clean up the resize_inode if all of the reserved gdt | |
3736 | blocks are consumed during an off-line resize. | |
3737 | ||
795de67f TT |
3738 | The "ls" command in debugfs now supports the -p option, which causes |
3739 | it to quote the filenames so that spaces or tabs in directory entries | |
3740 | are easily visible. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #149480; Addresses | |

3752 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #487298) | |
795de67f | 3753 | |
a41d5ac8 TT |
3754 | Add support to badblocks to limit how quickly it reads from the disk |

3756 | abort after finding a given number of errors. | |
3757 | ||

3774 | Programmer's Notes |
3775 | ------------------ | |
3776 | ||
3777 | Factor out bitmap code in preparation for adding 64-bit new-style | |
3778 | bitmaps. | |
3779 | ||
3780 | Fix gcc -Wall warnings | |
3781 | ||
3782 | Fix the pkg-config files so that private librares are specified in | |
3783 | "Libs.private:". | |
3784 | ||
3785 | Fix the libext2fs.texinfo manual so it builds with modern versions of | |
3786 | texinfo. | |
3787 | ||
3788 | Silence the makefile from showing the awk command used to build the | |
3789 | ||
3790 | Clean up the badblocks group so to make it more portable and robust. | |
3791 | ||
3792 | Avoid using predictable filenames in /tmp in blkid's regression test | |
3793 | suite. Also remove bashism's in the regression test script. | |
3794 | ||
92e49d85 TT |
3795 | If the configure script is given --with-diet-libc, don't use thread |
3796 | local storage, since diet libc doesn't support TLS. (Addresses | |
3797 | Sourceforge Bug: #2000654) | |
3798 | ||
3799 | Fix the blkid regression test suite to tolerate older versions of | |
3800 | mkswap that don't support the -U option. | |
3801 | ||
795de67f TT |
3802 | A few library routines have been converted to support 64-bit block |
3803 | numbers; in particular, the I/O manager functions, the test_io, | |
3804 | inode_io, and unix_io managers have all be converted to support 64-bit | |
3805 | operation. | |
3806 | ||
3807 | Debugfs can now be extended for use by test programs. See | |
3808 | lib/ext2fs/extents.c for an example for how it can be used. The test | |
3809 | program links against the debugfs object files, and provides | |
3810 | additional commands by defining an auxiliary libss command table. | |
3811 | ||
3812 | The lazy_bg filesystem feature, which was only used by developer's | |
3813 | testing, has been removed since it has been largely supplanted by | |
3814 | uninit_bg. This also simplifies the code. | |

3845 | E2fsprogs 1.40.10 (May 21, 2008) |
3846 | ================================ | |
3847 | ||
3848 | When deciding whether or not to revalidate a blkid cache entry, if the | |
3849 | device's mtime is newer than the last time the cached entry was | |
3850 | validated, force a revalidation. | |
3851 | ||
3852 | Fix a potential data corruption bug in e2fsck in the journal replay. | |
3853 | The chances of this is happening is extremely remote, especially the | |
3854 | default data=ordered or data=writeback modes. However, if a block | |
3855 | which has been journalled starts with the first four bytes 0xc03b3998, | |
3856 | when e2fsck replays the journal, those four bytes will be replaced | |
3857 | with zero's. Fortunately, it is highly, highly unlikely for e2fsck | |
3858 | metadata to begin with those fatal 4 byte sequence, and unless | |
3859 | data=ordered mode is in use, data blocks are never journaled. | |
3860 | ||
3861 | Updated German, Dutch, Sweedish, and Vietnamese translations. | |

3876 | SuSE's security team audited uuidd and came up with a few minor | |
3877 | issues. None of them are serious given that uuidd runs setuid as a | |
3878 | unprivileged user which has no special access other than libuuid | |
3879 | directory, but it's good to get them fixed. | |
3880 | ||

3898 | Fix fsck so that progress information is sent back correctly when | |
3899 | multiple filesystems are being check and the output of fsck is being | |
3900 | redirected to a file descriptor. Also, include the device name (w/o | |
3901 | spaces) in the progress information sent back via a file descriptor. | |

3914 | not reported correctly. 9Addresses Launchpad Bug: #220275) | |
3915 | ||
3916 | Mke2fs will not allow the logically incorect combination of | |

3944 | ================================= | |
3945 | ||
3946 | Fixed e2image -I so it works on image files which are larger than 2GB. | |
3947 | ||
3948 | Fixed e2fsck's handling of directory inodes with a corrupt size field. If | |
3949 | the size is larger than the number of blocks found in the inode, don't | |
3950 | try to allocate extra empty blocks at the end of the directory to make | |
3951 | up the difference; there's no point to doing that. In addition, if | |
3952 | the size is not a multiple of a blocksize, always fix it. | |
3953 | ||
3954 | E2fsck handled a pass 2 "should never happen error" by not giving | |
3955 | enough information and then core dumping. Unfortunately, it was all | |
3956 | too easy to trigger the "should never happen" situation if a | |
3957 | directory's inode size was not correct. This has been fixed, but | |
3958 | e2fsck has also been taught how to handle this situation more | |
3959 | gracefully, by simply removing the inode hash tree information, so | |
3960 | that it can be rebuilt again after e2fsck's pass 3. (Addresses | |
3961 | Launchpad Bug: #129395) | |
3962 | ||
3963 | Resize2fs had a bug resizing large inodes with extended attributes | |
3964 | that was fixed in 1.40.6; unfortunately, it turned out it wasn't fixed | |
3965 | completely on big-endian systems such as PowerPC. The bug should be | |
3966 | completely fixed now. Yay for regression test suites. (Addresses Red | |
3967 | Hat Bugzilla: #434893) | |
3968 | ||
3969 | Updated German, Czech, Dutch, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese | |

3971 | up to become the new German translation maintainer! (Addresses Debian | |
3972 | Bugs: #302512, #370247, #401092, #412882). | |
3973 | ||
3974 | When e2fsck is clearing a corrupt inode's HTREE directory information, | |
3975 | make it clear that it is just clearing the HTREE information, not the | |
3976 | entire inode. | |
3977 | ||
3978 | Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. | |
3979 | ||
3980 | Programmer's notes | |

3982 | ||
3983 | Add new functions, ext2fs_dblist_get_last() and | |
3984 | ext2fs_dblist_drop_last(), which allows the caller to examine the last | |
3985 | directory block entry added to the list, and to drop if it necessary. | |
3986 | ||
3987 | Fixed a portability problem in libblkid with DJGPP. | |
3988 | ||
3989 | Fix an obvious typo in an "internal error" message in e2fsck. Thanks | |
3990 | to Philipp Thomas for pointing this out. | |

3997 | ==================================== | |
3998 | ||
3999 | Remove support for clearing the SPARSE_SUPER feature from tune2fs, and | |
4000 | depreciate the -s option, since it can result in filesystems which | |
4001 | e2fsck can't fix easily. There are very good reasons for wanting to | |
4002 | disable sparse_super; users who wants to turn off sparse_super can use | |
4003 | debugfs. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1840286) | |
4004 | ||
4005 | Add missing options to mke2fs's usage message. (Addresses Sourceforge | |
4006 | Bug: #1751393) | |
4007 | ||
4008 | Fix bug in resize2fs when large (greater than 128 byte) inodes are | |
4009 | moved when a filesystem is shrunk; it was only moving the first 128 | |
4010 | bytes, so extended attributes were not getting moved. (Addresses Red | |
4011 | Hat Bugzilla: #434893) | |
4012 | ||
4013 | E2fsck now prints an explicit message when the bad block inode is | |
4014 | updated, to avoid confusion about why the filesystem was modified. | |
4015 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #756460) | |
4016 | ||
4017 | Allow mke2fs and tune2fs manipulate the large_file feature. | |
4018 | Previously we just let the kernel and e2fsck do this automatically, | |
4019 | but e2fsck will no longer automatically clear the large_file feature. | |
4020 | It still isn't really necessary to worry about this feature flag | |
4021 | explicitly, but some users seem to care. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: | |
4022 | #258381) | |
4023 | ||
4024 | Suppress message about an old-style fstab if the fstab file is empty. | |
4025 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #468176) | |
4026 | ||
4027 | Fix (really minor) bug in debugfs's find_free_block so it avoids | |
4028 | reporting a free block more than once if there are too few free blocks | |
4029 | in the filesystem. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1096315) | |
4030 | ||
4031 | Change e2fsck to no longer clear the LARGE_FILES feature flag | |
4032 | automatically, when there are no more > 2GB files in the filesystem. | |
4033 | It's been almost a decade since there have been kernels that don't | |
4034 | support this flag, and e2fsck clears it quietly without telling the | |
4035 | user why the filesystem has been changed. | |
4036 | ||
4037 | Fix bug which could cause libblkid to seg fault if a device mapper | |
4038 | volume disappears while it is being probed. (Addresses RedHat | |
4039 | Bugzilla: #433857) | |

4042 | (Addresses Sourceforge Feature Request: #1175808) | |
4043 | ||
4044 | Fix option syntax in dumpe2fs for explicit superblock and blocksize | |
4045 | parameters. What was currently documented in the man page has been | |
4046 | broken for some time, due to getopt() implementation changes. The | |
4047 | option sytax has been changed to one which is can be more portable | |
4048 | supported and which is consistent with the format for extended options | |
4049 | in mke2fs and tune2fs. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1830994) | |
4050 | ||
4051 | Add support to tune2fs to clear the resize_inode feature. This | |
4052 | requires an fsck afterwards. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #167816) | |
4053 | ||
4054 | Teach blkid to detect LVM2 physical volumes. (Addresses Red Hat | |
4055 | Bugzilla: #409321) | |
4056 | ||
4057 | Add support for setting RAID stride and stripe-width via mke2fs and | |
4058 | tune2fs. Teach dumpe2fs to print the RAID parameters. | |
4059 | ||
4060 | Add support for setting new superblock fields to debugfs's | |
4061 | set_super_value. | |
4062 | ||
4063 | Add support for printing "mostly-printable" extended attributes in | |
4064 | Debugfs. | |

4066 | Add support for the -M option to fsck, which causes it to ignore | |
4067 | mounted filesystem. | |

4155 | E2fsprogs 1.40.5 (January 27, 2008) |
4156 | =================================== | |
4157 | ||
4158 | Fix a potential overflow big in e2image if the device name is too | |
4159 | long. | |
4160 | ||
4161 | Mke2fs will now create new filesystems with 256 byte inodes and the | |
4162 | ext_attr feature flag by default. This allows for much better future | |
4163 | compatibity with ext4 and speeds up extended attributes even on ext3 | |
4164 | filesystems. | |
4165 | ||
4166 | Teach e2fsck to ignore certain "safe" filesystem features which are | |
4167 | set automatically by the kernel. Having the kernel set features | |
4168 | automagically behind the user's back is a bad idea, and we should try | |
4169 | to break the kernel of this habit, especially for the newer ext4 | |
4170 | feature flags. But for now, we will try to avoid needless full checks | |
4171 | which can annoy users who are doing fresh installs. | |
4172 | ||
4173 | Add support in tune2fs and mke2fs for making a filesystem as being "ok | |
4174 | to be used with test kernel code". This will be needed for using test | |
4175 | filesystems with the latest ext4 kernel code. | |
4176 | ||
4177 | Change e2fsck -fD so that it sorts non-htree directories by inode | |
4178 | numbers instead of by name, since that optimizes performances much | |
4179 | more significantly. (Addresses-Sourceforge-Feature-Request: #532439) | |
4180 | ||
4181 | If e2image fills the disk, fix it so it exits right away instead of | |
4182 | spewing large numbers of error messages. | |
4183 | (Addresses-Sourceforge-Feature-Request: #606508) | |
4184 | ||
4185 | If ftruncate64() is not available for resize2fs, let it use ftrucate() | |
4186 | instead, but have it check to see if the size would get truncated, and | |
4187 | skip calling ftruncate in that case. | |
4188 | ||
4189 | Add support for detecting HFS+ filesystems in the blkid library. | |
4190 | ||
4191 | Add supprt in the blkid library for ext4/ext4dev filesystems. | |
4192 | ||
4193 | Fix a bug in blkid where it could die on a floating point exception | |
4194 | when presented with a corrupt reiserfs image. | |
4195 | ||
4196 | Fix blkid's handling of ntfs UUID's so that leading zeros are printed | |
4197 | such that UUID string is a fixed length. | |
4198 | ||
4199 | Add sample python bindings for the uuid library to the contrib | |
4200 | directory. (Addresses-Sourceforge-Patches: #778817) | |
4201 | ||
4202 | Fix debugfs's 'lsdel' command so it uses ext2fs_block_iterate2 so it | |
4203 | will work with large files. (Addresses Sourceforge Feature Request: | |
4204 | #1257500 and Sourceforge Support Request: #1253511) | |
4205 | ||
4206 | Allow the debugfs 'undel' command to undelete an inode without linking | |
4207 | it to a specific destination directory, since this might require | |
4208 | allocating blocks that could overwrite some yet-to-be-recovered | |
4209 | deleted files. (Addresses-Sourceforge-Feature-Request: #967141) | |

4217 | someone did complain, so let's fix it). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: | |

4236 | Remove the --enable-dynamic-static configure option, and build e2fsck | |
4237 | dynamically by default. If the user wants e2fsck.static, he/she will | |
4238 | need to build it via "make -C e2fsck e2fsck.static" | |

4246 | ||
4247 | Improve time-based UUID generation. A new daemon uuidd, is started | |
4248 | automatically by libuuid if necessary. This daemon is setuid to allow | |
4249 | updates to /var/lib/libuuid, so the clock sequence number can be | |
4250 | stored and so if the clock is set backwards, it can be detected. | |
4251 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1529672, Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: | |
4252 | #233471) | |
4253 | ||
4254 | Filter out the NEEDS_RECOVERY feature flag when writing out the backup | |
4255 | superblocks. This avoids e2fsck from concluding that a full | |
4256 | filesystem check is required before backing up the superblock due to | |
4257 | changes in the feature flags. (Addresses Debian Bug: #454926) | |
4258 | ||
4259 | Fix fsck to only treat the '#' character as a comment at the beginning | |
4260 | of the line in /etc/fstab. Otherwise fstabs for the fuse filesystem | |
4261 | will cause fsck to issue an bogus warning message. | |
4262 | (Addresses Gentoo bug: #195405, Addresses Sourceforge bug: #1826147) | |
4263 | ||
4264 | Format control characters and characters with the high eighth bit set | |
4265 | when printing the contents of the blkid cache, to prevent filesystems | |
4266 | with garbage labels from sending escape sequences to the user's screen | |
4267 | that might, for example place it in graphics mode. (Addresses Ubuntu | |
4268 | Bug: #78087) | |

4299 | E2fsprogs 1.40.3 (December 5, 2007) |
4300 | =================================== | |
4301 | ||
4302 | Fix a potential security vulnerability where an untrusted filesystem | |
4303 | can be corrupted in such a way that a program using libext2fs will | |
4304 | allocate a buffer which is far too small. This can lead to either a | |
4305 | crash or potentially a heap-based buffer overflow crash. No known | |
4306 | exploits exist, but main concern is where an untrusted user who | |
4307 | possesses privileged access in a guest Xen environment could corrupt a | |
4308 | filesystem which is then accessed by the pygrub program, running as | |
4309 | root in the dom0 host environment, thus allowing the untrusted user to | |
4310 | gain privileged access in the host OS. Thanks to the McAfee AVERT | |
4311 | Research group for reporting this issue. (Addresses CVE-2007-5497.) | |
4312 | ||
4313 | Fix hueristics in blkid which could cause a disk without partitions to | |
4314 | be incorrectly skipped when a loopback device is present. (Addresses | |
4315 | Red Hat Bugzilla #400321.) | |
4316 | ||
4317 | Fix e2image so that in raw mode it does not create an image file which | |
4318 | is one byte too large. | |
4319 | ||
4320 | Change mke2fs's usage message so it recommends the preferred -E option | |
4321 | instead of the deprecated -R option. | |
4322 | ||
4323 | Enhance the blkid library so it will recognize squashfs filesystems. | |
4324 | (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #305151.) | |
4325 | ||
4326 | Enhance e2fsck so it will force the backup superblocks to be backed up | |
4327 | if the filesystem is consistent and key constants have been changed | |
4328 | (i.e., by an on-line resize) or by e2fsck in the course of its | |
4329 | operations. | |
4330 | ||
4331 | Enhance blkid's detection of FAT filesystems; so that USB disks with | |
4332 | only a single bootable partition will not get missed. | |
4333 | ||
4334 | E2fsck will no longer mark a filesystem as invalid if it has time | |
4335 | errors (i.e., if superblock mount time or last write time is in the | |
4336 | future) and the user refuses to fix the problem. | |
4337 | ||
4338 | The Ubuntu init scripts don't properly set the system time correctly | |
4339 | from hardware clock if the hardware clock is configured to tick local | |
4340 | time instead of GMT time. Work around this as best as we can by | |
4341 | providing an option, buggy_init_scripts, in /etc/e2fsck.conf which can | |
4342 | be set on Ubuntu systems. (Addresses Debian Bug #441093, and Ubuntu | |
4343 | Bug #131201.) | |
4344 | ||
4345 | Fix fsck to ignore /etc/fstab entries for bind mounts. (Addresses Red | |
4346 | Hat Bugzilla #151533.) | |
4347 | ||
4348 | Fix e2fsck so that if the superblock is corrupt, but still looks | |
4349 | vaguely like an ext2/3/4 superblock, that it automatically tries to | |
4350 | fall back to the backup superblock, instead of failing with a hard | |
4351 | error. | |
4352 | ||
4353 | Make the e2fsprogs program more robust so that they will not crash | |
4354 | when opening a corrupt filesystem where s_inode_size is zero. | |
4355 | ||
4356 | Change e2fsck so it uses sscanf() instead of atoi() so it non-numeric | |
4357 | arguments are detected as such and the parse error is reported to the | |
4358 | user. (Addresses Debian Bug #435381.) | |
4359 | ||
4360 | Change e2fsck so it will not complain if a file has blocks reallocated | |
4361 | up to the next multiple of a system's page size. | |
4362 | ||
4363 | Fix bug in ext2fs_check_desc() which will cause e2fsck to complain | |
4364 | about (valid) filesystems where the inode table extends to the last | |
4365 | block of the block group. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #214765.) | |
4366 | ||
4367 | Fix a bug in ext2fs_initialize() which causes mke2fs to fail while | |
4368 | allocating inode tables for some relatively rare odd disk sizes. | |
4369 | (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #241767.) | |
4370 | ||
4371 | Add Catalan translation and update Dutch and Swedish translations | |
4372 | from the Translation Project. | |
4373 | ||
4374 | Fix big-endian byte-swapping bug in ext2fs_swap_inode_full(). We | |
4375 | still had an issue when trying to figure out whether we need to | |
4376 | byte-swap fast symlinks that contained extended attributes. | |

4384 | ||
4385 | Fix mke2fs tests to avoid needing any significant ^M (CR) characters | |
4386 | ||
4387 | Add "make check" to the RPM spec file | |
4388 | ||
4389 | Fix "make install" and 'make unstall" in misc/Makefile.in so that it | |
4390 | works correctly when the prefix is not the root directory. | |
4391 | ||
4392 | Fix the resize2fs tests, r_move_itable and r_resize_inode, so they | |
4393 | clena up after themselves by deleting the test.img temporary file | |
4394 | after completing the test. | |
4395 | ||
4396 | Fixed a corner case bug ext2fs_unlink() when trying to delete the | |
4397 | first directory entry in a directory block and the last directory | |
4398 | entry in the previous directory block is not in use. Fortunately | |
4399 | ext2fs_unlink() is only used by debugfs and e2fsck, and in e2fsck in | |
4400 | places where it is extremely unlikely to run into this corner case. | |
4401 | ||
4402 | Fix missing dependency which would cuase parallel builds to fail. | |
4403 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug #1842331.) | |
4404 | ||
4405 | Fix a build error on newer gcc caused by lib/ext2fs/ismounted.c | |
4406 | calling open(O_CREATE) with a missing mode parameter. | |
4407 | ||
4408 | Fix the test_ss.c in lib/ss so it can be used as an example | |
4409 | application program for the library as well as a regression test | |
4410 | suite. | |

4415 | E2fsprogs 1.40.2 (July 12, 2007) |
4416 | ================================ | |
4417 | ||
4418 | A recent change to e2fsck_add_dir_info() to use tdb files to check | |
4419 | filesystems with a very large number of filesystems had a typo which | |
4420 | caused us to resize the wrong data structure. This would cause a | |
4421 | array overrun leading to malloc pointer corruptions and segfaults. | |
4422 | Since we normally can very accurately predict how big the the dirinfo | |
4423 | array needs to be, this bug only got triggered on very badly corrupted | |
4424 | filesystems. | |
4425 | ||
4426 | Fix a bug in e2fsck which caused it to incorrectly salvange | |
4427 | directories when the last entry's rec_len is bogusly too big. This | |
4428 | resulted in a nonsense filesystem corruption to be reported, and | |
4429 | required a second run of e2fsck to fully fix up the directory. | |

4442 | a partition where there is obsolete information in /etc/blkid.tab, we | |
4443 | end up freeing a the type tag without clearing dev->bid_type, causing | |
4444 | blkid_verify() to loop forever. (Addresses Debian Bug: #432052) | |
4445 | ||
4446 | The Turkish translation has a bug in it where it has the translation | |
4447 | of "E@e '%Dn' in %p (%i)" to "E@E". This causes @E to be expanded at | |
4448 | @E, recursively, forever, until the stack fills up and e2fsck core | |
4449 | dumps. We fix this by making e2fsck stop @-expansions after a | |
4450 | recursive depth of 10, which is far more than we need. | |

4460 | Improve the config/parse_types.sh helper script. Fix a potential | |

4467 | Project. Also created a new e2fsprogs.pot file for translator. | |
4468 | ||
4469 | Fix bogus strip permission errors when building under Debian. When | |
4470 | building the e2fsprogs dpkg's, the dh_strip command emits a large | |
4471 | number of error messages caused by the permissions not being right. | |

4478 | of the pseudo file "<default>". If the file "<default>" had | |
4479 | previously been passed to profile_init(), then def_string parameter | |
4480 | will be parsed and used as the profile information for the "<default>" | |
4481 | file. | |

4483 | Fix mk_cmds's error reporting so that it is unambiguous that it is the | |
4484 | mk_cmds script which is generating the error. (Obviates Gentoo patch: | |

4486 | ||
4487 | Fix the test suite to use LC_ALL instead of LANG. LC_ALL is the "high | |
4488 | priority" environment variable that overrides all others, where as | |
4489 | LANG is the lowest priorty environment variable. If LC_ALL is set, it | |
4490 | doesn't matter whether LANG, LANGUAGE, LC_COLLATE, LC_MESSAGES, and | |
4491 | the all the rest are set. This will assure that the locale when | |

4497 | ============================== | |
4498 | ||
4499 | Fix divide by zero error in blkid's NTFS probing logic. | |
d7b64725 TT |
4500 | |
4501 | Add new blkid -g option which causes the blkid cache to be garbage | |
4502 | collected. | |
4503 | ||
4504 | Fix a bug in libblkid which could cause the internal field bid_type to | |
4505 | become corrupted. Fortunately bid_type isn't used much, and bid_label | |
4506 | and bid_uuid is only used by debugging code, so the impact of this bug | |
4507 | was very minor. | |
4508 | ||
4509 | Mke2fs will now store the RAID stride value when a filesystem is | |
4510 | created with a requested RAID stride, and then use it automatically in | |
4511 | resize2fs. | |
4512 | ||
4513 | Mke2fs has a sanity check added to make sure (inode_size * num_inodes) | |
4514 | isn't too big. In some cases Lustre users have tried specifying an | |
4515 | inode size of 4096 bytes, while keeping an inode ratio of one inode | |
4516 | per 4096 bytes. | |
4517 | ||
4518 | Improve sanity check in e2fsck's algorithm for finding a backup | |
4519 | superblock, so that it won't accidentally find a superblock that was | |
4520 | located in the journal, and then later reject it as being not a valid | |
4521 | backup superblock. | |
4522 | ||
4523 | Fix e2fsck get_size logic so that it will work with the Linux floppy | |
4524 | driver. The Linux floppy driver is a bit different from the other | |
4525 | block device drivers, in that if the device has been opened with | |
4526 | O_EXCL, it disallows another open(), even if the second open() does | |
4527 | not have the O_EXCL flag. (Addresses Debian Bug: #410569) | |
4528 | ||
4529 | Fix error checking of badblock's last-block and start-block arguments. | |
4530 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #416477) | |
4531 | ||
4532 | Fix e2fsck so that it doesn't overwrite the backup superblocks when | |
4533 | recovering a journal until the master superblock has been confirmed as | |
4534 | being sane. | |
4535 | ||
4536 | Change the blkid library to be much more paranoid about concluding | |
4537 | that a partition contains an NTFS filesystem, and fetch the UUID and | |
4538 | LABEL information from NTFS filesystems. (Addresses Launchpad Bug: | |
4539 | #110138) | |
4540 | ||
4541 | Factor out the code which sets the default journal size and move it | |
4542 | into libext2fs. | |
4543 | ||
4544 | Enhance e2fsck so it will recreate the ext3 journal if the original | |
4545 | journal inode was cleared to due it being corrupt after finishing the | |
4546 | filesystem check. | |
4547 | ||
4548 | Fix e2fsck so that it updates the journal inode if it is corrupted and | |
4549 | the backup journal information from the superblock was successfully | |
4550 | used to recover the filesystem. | |
4551 | ||
4552 | Fix e2fsck so that it checks all of the blocks in the journal inode | |
4553 | for validity. The original code only checked the direct blocks to | |
4554 | make sure the journal inode was sane. Unfortunately, if some or all | |
4555 | of the indirect or doubly indirect blocks were corrupted, this would | |
4556 | not be caught. | |
4557 | ||
4558 | Add support in blkid to detect LUKS encrypted partitions. | |
4559 | ||
4560 | Add extra sanity checks for extended attributes in the case where the | |
4561 | size is zero but the offset is very large. | |
4562 | ||
4563 | Fix byte-swapping issues for large inodes in ext2fs_read_inode_full() | |
4564 | and ext2fs_get_next_inode_full(). | |
4565 | ||
4566 | Clarify the copyright licenses used by the various libraries in | |
4567 | the top-level COPYING file (Red Hat Bugzilla: 166058) | |
4568 | ||
4569 | Make mke2fs's defaults when /etc/mke2fs.conf doesn't exist more sane. | |
4570 | ||
4571 | Fix mke2fs and debugfs to support large (> 16 bit) uid's and gid's. | |
4572 | ||
4573 | Remove check in e2fsck which requires EA's in inodes to be sorted; | |
4574 | they don't need to be sorted, and e2fsck was previously wrongly | |
4575 | clearing unsorted EA's stored in the inode structure. | |
4576 | ||
4577 | Allow mke2fs or tune2fs to create a substantially larger journal (up | |
4578 | to 10,240,000 blocks). | |
4579 | ||
4580 | Fix MD superblock detection, and make sure the correct UUID is | |
4581 | reported from the MD superblock. | |
4582 | ||
4583 | Fix a signed vs. unsigned bug in debugfs. | |
4584 | ||
4585 | Enhance debugfs's date parser so that it accepts integer values. | |
4586 | ||
4587 | Fix e2fsck's pass1c accounting so it doesn't terminate too early if a | |
4588 | file with multiply claimed blocks is hard linked. or not at all if the | |
4589 | root directory contains shared blocks | |
4590 | ||
4591 | Enhance debugfs so it can modify the block group descriptors using the | |
4592 | command set_block_group_descriptor. | |
4593 | ||
4594 | Improve e2fsck's reporting of I/O errors so it's clearer what it was | |
4595 | trying to do when an error happens | |
4596 | ||
4597 | Fix a bug in in how e2fsprogs byte swaps inodes containing fast | |
4598 | symlinks that have extended attributes. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: | |
4599 | #232663 and LTC Bugzilla: #27634) | |
4600 | ||
4601 | Fix potential file descriptor leak in ext2fs_get_device_size() in an | |
4602 | error case. | |
a0d42548 TT |
4603 | |
4604 | Add libreadline.so.5 support to libss. | |
4605 | ||
4606 | Impove badblocks -n/-w exclusive usage message. | |
4607 | ||
4608 | Fix dump_unused segfault in debugfs when a filesystem is not open | |
4609 | ||
4610 | Fix memory leak in blkid library. (Addresses Debian Bug: #413661) | |
4611 | ||
4612 | Allow the debugfs lcd command to work w/o a filesystem being open. | |
4613 | (Addresses LTC Bugzilla #27513) | |
4614 | ||
4615 | Fix e2fsck to clear i_size for special devices with a bogus i_blocks | |
4616 | field on the first pass. | |
4617 | ||
4618 | Fix e2fsck to set the file type of the '..' entry when connecting | |
4619 | a directory to lost+found. (Addresses Lustre Bug: #11645) | |
4620 | ||
4621 | Enhance e2fsck to recover directories whose modes field were corrupted | |
4622 | to look like special files. This is probably only useful in | |
4623 | artificial test cases, but it will be useful if we ever do the "inodes | |
4624 | in directory" idea for ext4. | |
4625 | ||
4626 | Allow debugfs to dump (and rdump) > 2GB files. (Addresses Debian Bug: | |
4627 | #412614) | |
4628 | ||
4629 | Fix resize2fs parsing of size parameter (in sector units). This was | |
4630 | actually a bug in libe2p's parse_num_blocks() function. When handling | |
4631 | the 's' suffix, it was ignoring the blocksize information passed in | |
4632 | from the caller and always interpreting the number in terms of a 1k | |
4633 | blocksize. (Addresses Debian Bug: #408298) | |
4634 | ||
4635 | There was a floating point precision error which could cause e2fsck to | |
4636 | loop forever on really big filesystems with a large inode count. | |
4637 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #411838) | |
4638 | ||
4639 | Fix memory leak in ext2fs_write_new_inode() | |
4640 | ||
4641 | Add support for using a scratch files directory to reduce e2fsck's | |
499d5ec5 | 4642 | memory utilization on really big filesystems. This uses the TDB |
a0d42548 TT |
4643 | library. See the [scratch_files] section of the e2fsck.conf man page |
4644 | for more details. | |
7809bc56 TT |
4645 | |
4646 | Fixed type-punning bug which caused dumpe2fs to crash on the Arm | |
4647 | platform (Addresses Debian Bug: #397044) | |
4648 | ||
4649 | Add explanatory message to badblocks that -n and -w are mutually exclusive | |
4650 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #371869) | |
4651 | ||
4652 | Allow debugfs and dumpe2fs to support fs features under development. | |
4653 | ||
4654 | Add support for the new flag EXT2_FLAG_SOFTSUPP_FEATURES flag to | |
4655 | ext2fs_open() , which allows application to open filesystes with features | |
4656 | which are currently only partially supported by e2fsprogs. | |
4657 | ||
4658 | Allow unix_io to support offsets greater than 2G (Addresses | |
4659 | SourceForge Bug: #1547922) | |
26bcc2ca TT |
4660 | |
4661 | Fixed overflow and signed/unsigned problems caused by the number of | |
7809bc56 TT |
4662 | blocks or inodes exceeding 2**31 or being close to 2**32-1. |
4663 | ||
4664 | Add support for unsigned directory hash calculations with hints in the | |
4665 | superblock to fix cross-architectural portability for htree | |
4666 | directories with filenames where the high 8th bit is set. (Addresses | |
4667 | Debian: #389772) | |
26bcc2ca TT |
4668 | |
4669 | Fix resize2fs so that it gives user-intelligible error messages if the | |
4670 | filesystem or the kernel does not support on-line resizing. | |
4671 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #380548) | |
4672 | ||
4673 | Require mke2fs -F -F for really dangerous operations, since -F is | |
4674 | needed for less dangerous operations such as creating filesystems | |
4675 | images in regular files, or creating filesystems on whole block | |
4676 | devices. These relatively innocuous usages should NOT be confused | |
4677 | with running mke2fs on an apparently-mounted or in-use filesystem. | |
4678 | ||
4679 | Allow the default inode size to be specified into the mke2fs.conf | |
4680 | file. | |
4681 | ||
4682 | Make the smallest default journal size is big enough so that on-line | |
4683 | resizing should always work. | |
4684 | ||
4685 | Fix silly spelling error in e2fsck. (Addresses SourceForge bug: | |
4686 | #1531372) | |
4687 | ||
4688 | Fix debugfs coredump when lsdel is run without an open filesystem | |
4689 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #378335) | |
4690 | ||
4691 | Fix debugfs display bug us that bytes that have the high bit set are | |
4692 | displayed as "ec" instead of "ffffffec". | |
4693 | ||
4694 | Add support in lsattr so it will display the EXT4_EXTENTS_FL flag. | |
4695 | ||
4696 | Device mapper scanning wasn't working in the blkid library because the | |
4697 | pathnames had an extra "/dev" when they were being probed. | |
4698 | ||
4699 | Add GFS/GFS2 support to the blkid library. | |
4700 | ||
4701 | Fix blkid support of empty FAT filesystem labels. | |
4702 | ||
4703 | Avoid recursing forever (or for a long time) when the blkid library | |
4704 | searches for a device and there are symlinks to directories in /dev. | |
4705 | ||
4706 | Avoid unaligned halfword access in blkid when accessing FAT | |
4707 | superblocks, as this will cause Sparc/Solaris systems to throw a | |
4708 | SIGBUS error. | |
4709 | ||
4710 | The latest devmapper libraries requires pthreads, add -lpthreads to | |
4711 | the static link libraries for e2fsck.static if devmapper is enabled. | |
4712 | (Addresses Debian bug: #388718) | |
4713 | ||
4714 | Improve the (non-installed, for experts only) findsuper program by | |
4715 | printing the uuid and label from the superblocks, as well as the | |
4716 | starting and ending offsets of the filesystem given the information in | |
4717 | the superblock. Omit by default printing superblocks that are likely | |
4718 | found in located in an ext3 journal unless an explicit -j option is | |
4719 | given. | |
4720 | ||
80dda9bb TT |
4721 | Updated Spanish, French and Dutch translations and added Catalan |
4722 | translation. (Addresses Debian bug: #411562) | |
26bcc2ca TT |
4723 | |
4724 | Use FreeBSD's DIOCGMEDIASIZE and DIOCGDINFO ioctls if available when | |
4725 | determining a partition's size, since binary searching to determine | |
4726 | the device doesn't work on FreeBSD. | |
4727 | ||
d7b64725 TT |
4728 | Documentation about UUID's is available in enough places, and it's |
4729 | awkward to deal with debian-legal's insanities. So I'm caving in the | |
4730 | "more-lunatic-than-RMS" wing of Debian by removing RFC-4122 so we | |
4731 | don't have do the dfsg tarball. Also remove the rule that only tried | |
4732 | to install RFC-4122 on Ubuntu, since Ubuntu seems to want to fetch | |
4733 | e2fsprogs exclusively from Debian. (Addresses Debian Bug: #407107) | |
4734 | ||
4735 | Fix the info-dir line so that the menu name does not contain a .info | |
4736 | prefix. First of all, it's ugly, secondly, it causes the install-info | |
4737 | command to fail to remove the com_err info file from the | |
4738 | /usr/share/info/dir file when the comerr-dev package is removed and | |
4739 | purged. (Addresses Debian Bug: #401711) | |
4740 | ||
26bcc2ca | 4741 | Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. |
a0d42548 | 4742 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #369761, #373004, #379695) |
26bcc2ca TT |
4743 | |
4744 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for | |
d7b64725 TT |
4745 | details. (Addresses Debian Bugs #389554, #390664, #413208, #419605, |

4749 | Programmer's notes: | |
4750 | ------------------- | |
4751 | ||
a0d42548 TT |
4752 | E2fsck now supports the %It expansion when printing a problem report. |
4753 | It will print the type of the inode in the problem context. | |
4754 | ||
26bcc2ca TT |
4755 | Fix misc/Makefile.in so that it builds even if e2fsck hasn't been built yet |
4756 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1565561) | |
4757 | ||
4758 | Remove unused variables and other lint/gcc -Wall cleanups | |
4759 | ||
4760 | Add check to ext2fs_get_device_size() so it will return EFBIG for for | |
4761 | filesystems contained in regular files where the filesystem image size | |
4762 | is returned by stat64(). | |
4763 | ||
7809bc56 TT |
4764 | Set local environment variables to C so mk_cmds and compile_et always |
4765 | work. (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #1532177) | |
4766 | ||
26bcc2ca TT |
4767 | Added the 64-bit byte swapping function ext2fs_swab64(). |
4768 | ||
4769 | Added two new helper functions to prevent 2**31/2**32-1 overflow | |
4770 | problems: ext2fs_div_ceil() and e2p_percent(). | |
4771 | ||
4772 | Create new ext2fs library inline functions ext2fs_group_first_block() | |
4773 | and ext2fs_group_last_block() in order to calculate the starting and | |
4774 | ending blocks in a block group. | |
4775 | ||
4776 | Create the generated files read-only to remind developers not to edit them. | |
4777 | ||
7809bc56 TT |
4778 | Add support for autoconf 2.60 (with backwards compatibility for older |
4779 | versions of autoconf). | |
4780 | ||
26bcc2ca TT |
4781 | Added an "make rpm" target to top-level Makefile |
4782 | ||
4783 | Added various FreeBSD portability fixes. | |
4784 | ||
4785 | Exclude mercurial files from the RPM build tree to speed up copy/build. | |
4786 | ||
4787 | Use root_sysconfdir to define the locations of mke2fs.conf and | |
4788 | e2fsck.conf instead of using a hard-coded /etc pathname. | |
4789 | ||
4790 | Prevent e2fsck.h and ext2_ext_attr.h from getting included multiple times. | |
4791 | ||
4792 | Fixed "make clean" in blkid's Makefile.in file from removing tst_*.c files. | |
4793 | ||
4794 | If diff -u is supported, use it to report test failures. | |
4795 | ||
4796 | Updates/improvements to RPM spec file | |
4797 | ||
7809bc56 TT |
4798 | Add on-disk format definitions for the following new features: |
4799 | EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_HUGE_FILE, EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_GDT_CSUM, | |
4800 | EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINK, EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_64BIT, | |
4801 | EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE | |
4802 | ||
4803 | Add a new make target "checked-failed" in the tests directory which | |
4804 | reruns any failed tests | |
4805 | ||
4806 | Update draft-leach-uuids-guids-01.txt with rfc4122.txt | |
4807 | ||
a0d42548 TT |
4808 | Fix miscellaneous bugs reported by Coverity: Dead code, potential nul |
4809 | pointer dereferences, memory leaks, etc. None were security-criticial | |
4810 | problems. | |
4811 | ||
4812 | Fix up usage and decrement error messages in the test_icount program | |
4813 | ||
4814 | Add debugging code to the com_err library; if the environment variable | |
4815 | COMERR_DEBUG is set to 1, print out debugging messages as error tables | |
4816 | are added and removed from the com_err library. If the | |
4817 | COMERR_DEBUG_FILE environment variable is set (and the process is not | |
4818 | setuid) the debugging messages may be redirected to a file. | |
4819 | ||
4820 | Change all of the e2fsprogs programs to use the newer add_error_table() | |
4821 | and remove_error_table() interfaces instead of the much older | |
4822 | initialize_*_error_table() function. | |
4823 | ||
4824 | Add TDB support into the ext2fs library. This allows us to have a | |
4825 | guaranteed library we can count on always being present so we can | |
4826 | store data in an on-disk database. | |
4827 | ||
4828 | Add support for using TDB to store the icount data, so we don't run out | |
4829 | of memory when checking really large filesystems. | |
4830 | ||
d7b64725 TT |
4831 | Change the regression test suite so that it skips empty test directories. |
4832 | ||
4833 | Define the l_i_iversion field in ext2_inode. The l_i_version field is | |
4834 | now defined from the old l_i_reserved1 field in the ext2 inode. This | |
4835 | field will be used to store high 32 bits of the 64-bit inode version | |
4836 | number. | |
4837 | ||
4838 | Add Makefile production rule for e2fsprogs.spec in case it gets | |
4839 | deleted. | |
4840 | ||
4841 | Add new function profile_get_uint() to allow for a clean way to fetch | |
4842 | unsigned integers from the context. | |
4843 | ||
4844 | Add test to make sure the ext2 superblock structure is 1024 bytes. | |
4845 | ||
4846 | Fix typo in name of f_dup4 regression test | |
4847 | ||
4848 | Add new function blkid_gc_cache() which performs a garbage collection | |
4849 | pass on the /etc/blkid.tab file. | |
4850 | ||
4851 | The ext2fs_open() function now sets EXT2_FLAG_MASTER_SB_ONLY. In | |
4852 | general, only e2fsck (after the filesystem is clean), tune2fs, and | |
4853 | resize2fs should change the backup superblocks by default. Most | |
4854 | callers of ext2fs_open() should not be touching any superblock fields | |
4855 | which require the backups to be touched. | |
4856 | ||
4857 | Add new function to libext2fs, ext2fs_default_journal_size(), which | |
4858 | returns the default journal size. | |
4859 | ||
26bcc2ca | 4860 | |
6c09475b TT |
4861 | E2fsprogs 1.39 (May 29, 2006) |
4862 | ============================= | |
34a2611c | 4863 | |
34a2611c TT |
4864 | Fix 32-bit cleanliness in e2fsprogs so that we can support filesystems |
4865 | between 2**31 and 2**32 blocks. | |
4866 | ||
34a2611c TT |
4867 | Change mke2fs to use /etc/mke2fs.conf as a configuration file to |
4868 | configure the filesystem features, blocksize, and inode_ratio for | |
4869 | different filesystem types. | |
4870 | ||
6c09475b TT |
4871 | Mke2fs will now create filesystems hash trees and on-line resizing |
4872 | enabled by default, based on the new /etc/mke2fs.conf file. | |
4873 | ||
34a2611c TT |
4874 | The e2fsprogs tools (resize2fs, e2fsck, mke2fs) will open the |
4875 | filesystem device node in exclusive mode to prevent accidents by | |
4876 | system administrators. In the case of resize2fs and mke2fs, it will | |
4877 | only use exclusive mode if the filesystem is not mounted. | |
4878 | ||
4879 | Fixed a bug in mke2fs which caused it to to fail when creating the | |
4880 | resize inode for large filesystems. (Addresses Debian Bug #346580) | |
4881 | ||
bae55640 TT |
4882 | When allocating space for the RAID filesystems with the stride |
4883 | parameter, mke2fs will now place each portion of the group's inode | |
4884 | table right up after the superblock (if present) in order to minimize | |
4885 | fragmentation of the freespace. | |
4886 | ||
4887 | Speed up mke2fs and e2fsck by writing inode and block bitmaps more | |
4888 | efficiently by writing the inode and block bitmaps in one pass, thus | |
4889 | reducing the number of disk seeks required. | |
4890 | ||
34a2611c TT |
4891 | Add support for on-line resizing to resize2fs. |

4893 | Fix blkid library so that logic to determine whether or not a device's | |
4894 | cached information in /etc/blkid.tab needs to be verified or not | |
4895 | doesn't get confused by a system clock which is insane (for example, | |
4896 | if the battery is dead on a Macintosh running PPC Linux. (Addresses | |
4897 | Red Hat Bug: #182188) | |
4898 | ||
4899 | The blkid library will now store the UUID of the external journal used | |
4900 | by ext3 filesystems, so that in the future, the userspace mount binary | |
4901 | can use this to find the location of the external journal and pass | |
4902 | this information to the kernel. | |
f3227850 TT |
4903 | |
4904 | E2fsck will now consult a configuration file, /etc/e2fsck.conf to | |
34a2611c TT |
4905 | control how various options should be handled. See the e2fsck.conf |
4906 | man page for more details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #150295) | |

4912 | E2fsck will detect if the superblock's last mount field or last write |
4913 | field is in the future, and offer to fix if so. (Addresses Debian Bug | |
f3227850 TT |
4914 | #327580) These problems will be fixed automatically in preen mode |
4915 | since Debian's boot sequence bogusly doesn't set the time correctly | |
4916 | until potentially very late in the bootup process, and this can cause | |
4917 | false positives which will cause users' systems to fail to boot. | |

4921 | the external journal is incorrect, and if so, offer to update it. | |
4922 | (Addresses Debian Bug: #355644) | |
4923 | ||

4924 | Fix e2fsck from segfaulting on disconnected inodes that contain one or |
4925 | more extended attributes. (Addresses Debian Bug: #316736, #318463) | |
4926 | ||
4c02c41c TT |
4927 | E2fsck will stop and print a warning if the user tries running a |
4928 | read/write badblocks test on a read-only mounted root filesystem. | |
4929 | ||
bae55640 TT |
4930 | Fix a memory leak in e2fsck's error paths. (Thanks to Michael |
4931 | C. Thompson for pointing these out; they were originally found using | |
4932 | Coverity.) | |
4933 | ||

4934 | When resizing a file containing a filesystem, resize2fs will expand or |
4935 | truncate a file as necessary. (Addresses Debian Bug: #271607) | |
4936 | ||
bae55640 TT |
4937 | Resize2fs will now automatically determine the RAID stride parameter that |
4938 | had been used to create the filesystem, and use that for newly created | |
4939 | block groups. The RAID stride parameter may also be manually specified | |
4940 | on the command line using the new -S option to resize2fs. | |
4941 | ||
4c02c41c TT |
4942 | Fix mke2fs so that it correctly creates external journals on |
4943 | big-endian machines (such as a S/390). | |
4944 | ||
bae55640 TT |
4945 | Fix a bug in the e2p library which could cause dumpe2fs to (rarely) |
4946 | fail to print out the journal or hash seed UUID. (Thanks to Guillaume | |
4947 | Chambraud for pointing this out.) | |
4948 | ||
4949 | Dumpe2fs will now print the size of the journal (if present). | |
4950 | ||
4c02c41c TT |
4951 | Fix debugfs's set_inode_field command so it can properly set the frag, |
4952 | fsize, uid_high, gid_high, and author fields in the inode instead of | |
4953 | silently failing, and so that setting the i_size actually sets i_size | |
4954 | correctly. | |
4955 | ||
4956 | Add a new debugfs command, set_current_time, which sets fs->now so | |
4957 | that regression test suites can repeatedly modify the filesystem's | |
4958 | last_write fields. | |
4959 | ||

4981 | Use fstat/fstat64 in getsize.c if the the target is a regular file, | |
4982 | instead of attempting to do a binary search. Fix some fd leaks in | |
4983 | error cases. | |
4984 | ||
34a2611c TT |
4985 | Add support for device mapper library to the blkid library to ensure |
4986 | that the "best" (i.e., leaf) device is probed by the blkid library. | |

4c02c41c TT |
4988 | Fix the blkid library so that it notices when an ext2 filesystem is |
4989 | upgraded to ext3. | |
4990 | ||
4991 | Improve the blkid's library VFAT/FAT detection; it now understands | |
4992 | labels stored in the root directory, and is more paranoid about | |
4993 | checking the FAT superblock values. | |

5029 | ||
7e2ec011 TT |
5030 | Update config.guess and config.sub to latest version (2006-02-23) from |
5031 | FSF. | |
5032 | ||
5033 | Fix asm_types.h type conflicts on AMD 64 platforms. (Addresses Debian | |
5034 | Bugs: #360661, #360317) | |
5035 | ||
34a2611c TT |
5036 | Fixed the Makefile so that they work correctly on newer versions of |
5037 | GNU make (i.e., 3.81). | |
5038 | ||
f2b74cda TT |
5039 | Add valgrind support to the regression test suites, and eliminate |
5040 | false positives from valgrind. | |
5041 | ||
4c02c41c TT |
5042 | Add a regression test suite for the blkid library. |
5043 | ||
f2b74cda TT |
5044 | Fix a fencepost error in resize2fs caught by valgrind. |
5045 | ||
4c02c41c TT |
5046 | Fix compiler warnings about missing memcpy prototypes. |
5047 | ||
5048 | We no longer have the sparc assembly code in the header file any more, | |
5049 | so we shouldn't set _EXT2_HAVE_HAS_BITOPS_ for the sparc. This would | |
5050 | break compiles on the sparc architectures when using gcc. | |
5051 | ||
5052 | In the libext2fs library, add the new field fs->now which if non-zero | |
5053 | is used instead of the system time when setting various filesystem | |
5054 | fields (last modified time, last write time, etc.) | |
5055 | ||
5056 | Fix gcc 4.01 complaints by adding a missing #include <string.h> to | |
5057 | ext2fs.h which is needed since the inline functions use memcpy(). | |
5058 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug #1251062) | |
5059 | ||
5060 | Use BUILD_CFLAGS and BUILD_LDFLAGS instead of CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in | |
5061 | the build system when building files in the util directory which are | |
5062 | needed during the build process. This avoids potential problems when | |
5063 | cross-compiling and some of the options specified in CFLAGS or LDFLAGS | |
5064 | are not recognized as valid by the host compiler. (Addresses | |
5065 | Sourceforge Bug #1261547) | |
5066 | ||
5067 | Clean up the blkid library by making the superblock and generic i/o | |
5068 | functions to be more generic. Clean up interface to the probe | |
5069 | function, and fix memory leak. Finallly, remove an unneeded reference | |
5070 | to probe.h in the lib/blkid/resolve.c | |
5071 | ||
3285a9c9 TT |
5072 | Add an ext2fs_read_bb_FILE regression test to confirm proper detection |
5073 | of invalid block #'s. | |
5074 | ||
34a2611c TT |
5075 | The x86 asm constraints for ext2fs_{set/clear}_bit have been fixed to |
5076 | indicate that the the function read/writes the memory location. | |
5077 | ||
3285a9c9 TT |
5078 | Fix various gcc -Wall complaints. |
5079 | ||
5080 | Add a dependency to make sure that the subdirectories are created | |
5081 | before creating all of the object files, in order to address parallel | |
5082 | build problem in the library Makefiles. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: | |
5083 | #1261553) | |
5084 | ||
5085 | Add $(LDFLAGS) to the command line argument when generating an ELF or | |
5086 | Solaris shared library, to allow cross-compile and other builds that | |
5087 | might need to specify -L paths to needed libraries. (Addresses | |
5088 | Sourceforge Bug #1261549) | |
5089 | ||
bae55640 TT |
5090 | Add a new feature, EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_LAZY_BG, which is initially |
5091 | intended for testing purposes. It allows an ext2/ext3 developer to | |
5092 | create very large filesystems using sparse files where most of the | |
5093 | block groups are not initialized and so do not require much disk | |
5094 | space. Eventually it could be used as a way of speeding up mke2fs and | |
5095 | e2fsck for large filesystem, but that would be best done by adding an | |
5096 | RO_COMPAT extension to the filesystem to allow the inode table to be | |
5097 | lazily initialized on a per-block basis, instead of being entirely | |
5098 | initialized or entirely unused on a per-blockgroup basis. | |
5099 | ||
6c09475b TT |
5100 | Fix backwards compatibility so e2fsprogs will better compile on Linux |
5101 | 2.0.35 systems. | |

5111 | ============================== |
5112 | ||
5113 | Fix blkid's test programs (built with "make check") compile correctly | |
5114 | even without "configure --enable-blkid-debug". | |
5115 | ||
5116 | Fix ia64 core dump bug caused by e2fsprogs running afoul of C99 strict | |
5117 | type aliasing rules on newer gcc compilers. (Addresses Red Hat | |
5118 | Bugzilla ##161183.) | |
5119 | ||
5120 | Fix com_err library to make it more compatible with recent changes | |
5121 | made to the com_err library in MIT Kerberos V5 version 1.4. | |
5122 | (Addresses Sourcefroge Bug #1150146) | |
5123 | ||
5124 | General cleanup of messages printed by e2fsprogs programs for grammar, | |
5125 | consistency, and to make life easier for translators. Fixed a few | |
5126 | strings containing English that had not been marked as needing | |
5127 | translations. Removed strings that do not need to be translated, to | |
5128 | make life easier for translators. | |
5129 | ||
5130 | Mke2fs and badblocks will take advantage of a feature in Linux 2.6 to | |
5131 | test to see if a device appears to be in use instead of just relying | |
5132 | on /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab. (Addresses Debian Bug #308594). | |
5133 | ||
5134 | Fix portability problem in the filefrag program affecting platforms | |
5135 | where the size of an integer is smaller than the size of a long. | |
5136 | (Addresses Debian Bug #309655) | |
5137 | ||
5138 | Mke2fs will now use a larger journal by default for filesystems | |
5139 | greater than 4GB. (128 MB instead of 32MB). | |
5140 | ||
5141 | Mke2fs will refuse to create filesystems greater than 2**31-1 blocks, | |
5142 | unless forced. This is to avoid signed vs. unsigned kernel bugs in | |
5143 | block numbers that still need to be fixed. | |
5144 | ||
5145 | The blkid program has a new option which will more efficiently search | |
5146 | for device when it is known (or expected) that only one matching | |
5147 | device will be found in the system, such as when doing a lookup by | |
5148 | UUID. | |
5149 | ||
5150 | Debian's e2fsprogs-specific initrd fragment will avoid including | |
5151 | unnecessary libraries into the initrd ramdisk by unsetting LD_PRELOAD | |
5152 | and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and filtering out libraries found in | |
5153 | /etc/ld.so.preload. (Addresses Debian Bug: #304003) | |
5154 | ||
5155 | Fixed a potential portability issue in the blkid programs for | |
5156 | architectures where the char type is unsigned. (Addresses Sourceforge | |
5157 | Bug: #1180585) | |
5158 | ||
5159 | Fix a bug in filefrag so that it doesn't falsely count an extra | |
5160 | discontinuity when the first block found is an indirect block. | |
5161 | (Addresses Debian Bug #307607). | |
5162 | ||
5163 | Fix blkid's recognition of cramfs filesystems, and enhance it to be | |
5164 | able to handle cramfs labels. | |
5165 | ||
5166 | Fix debugfs's stat command to not core dump when a filesystem is not | |
5167 | open. | |
5168 | ||
5169 | Fix e2fsck's handling of error conditions caused by the resize inode | |
5170 | claiming blocks that are also used by other inodes, a filesystem | |
5171 | corruption which was commonly caused by a bug in Fedora Core 3's | |
5172 | resize2fs program. | |
5173 | ||
5174 | Fixed bug in filefrag which caused it to fail on non-ext2/3 | |
5175 | filesystems. (Addresses Debian Bug: #303509) | |
5176 | ||
5177 | If the superblock last mount time indicates that the system clock may | |
5178 | not be accurate, then e2fsck will omit checking inodes' deletion time | |
5179 | field for indications of a potential corrupted orphaned inode list. | |
5180 | (Previously e2fsck only ommited these LOW_DTIME checks when the | |
5181 | superblock's last write time looked insane.) | |
5182 | ||
5183 | Fixed a IA64 core dump bug in the e2p library which affected dumpe2fs. | |
5184 | (Addresses Debian bug #302200) | |
5185 | ||
5186 | Make the blkid library more paranoid about being run from setgid | |
5187 | programs, and to use __secure_getenv() from libc if it is available. | |
5188 | ||
5189 | Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages. | |
5190 | (Addresses Debian Bugs: #304591, #304592, #304594, #304597, #304593 | |
5191 | and Sourceforge Bug: #1189803) | |

5197 | ||
5198 | Programmer's notes: | |
5199 | ------------------- | |
5200 | ||
5201 | Ext2fs_set_bit(), ext2fs_clear_bit(), and ext2fs_test_bit( have been | |
5202 | changed to take an unsigned int for the bit number. Negative bit | |
5203 | numbers were never allowed (and didn't make any sense), so this should | |
5204 | be a safe change. This is needed to allow safe use of block numbers | |
5205 | greater than or equal to 2**31. | |
5206 | ||
5207 | The compile_et program will avoid recreating generated foo_err.c and | |
5208 | foo_err.h files if no changes are necessary. The compile_et program | |
5209 | will also atomically replace these files to avoid a potential parallel | |
5210 | build race problem on SMP systems. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: | |
5211 | #1157933) | |
5212 | ||
5213 | Added a new function to the blkid library, blkid_probe_all_new(), | |
5214 | which only probes newly added disk devices, and change | |
5215 | blkid_find_dev_with_tag() to use this function so that when a | |
5216 | requested tag is not found, devices that were previously not checked | |
5217 | are searched before searching all devices in the system. | |
5218 | ||
5219 | Added new functions to the blkid library, blkid_dev_set_search() and | |
5220 | blkid_dev_has_tag(). | |
5221 | ||
5222 | E2fsck's problem strings can now use @m and @n as abbrevations for | |
5223 | "multiply-claimed" and "invalid", respectively. | |
5224 | ||
5225 | The e2fsprog.pot file now has an explanation of how the @-expansion | |
5226 | and %-expansion works, and strings in e2fsck/problem.c which contain @ | |
5227 | characters now have comments in e2fsprogs.pot with the @-expansion to | |
5228 | make life easier for translators. | |
5229 | ||
5230 | Fixed missing return values in the ext2fs library which could cause it | |
5231 | to return random garbage in certain error conditions. | |
5232 | ||
5233 | Allow the current time to be overriden via the E2FSCK_TIME environment | |
5234 | variable for use in regression tests. | |
5235 | ||
5236 | The test scrpit driver program now exits with a non-zero status if | |
5237 | there any of its test that it ran failed. | |
5238 | ||
5239 | Fixed problems with parabuilds on SMP systems. (Addresses Sourceforge | |
5240 | Bug: #1157933) | |
5241 | ||
5242 | Fixed "make check" so that it compiles correctly even when e2fsprogs' | |
5243 | header files have not be installed in the system include directories. | |
5244 | (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1180572) | |
5245 | ||
5246 | Fixed gcc -Wall nits. | |

5249 | E2fsprogs 1.37 (March 21, 2005) |
5250 | =============================== | |
5251 | ||
5252 | Add support for checking the validity of Extended Attributes stored in | |
5253 | inodes to e2fsck. | |
5254 | ||
5255 | Add support for dumping the contents of large inodes to debugfs, | |
5256 | including the extended attributes stored in inodes. | |
5257 | ||
5258 | Fix mke2fs, e2fsck, debugfs, and the ext2fs_mkdir function so that | |
5259 | when we create a new inode we make sure that the extra information in | |
5260 | the inode (any extra fields in a large inode and any ea-in-inode | |
5261 | information) is initialized correctly. This can take place when | |
5262 | mke2fs creates the root and lost+found directory, when e2fsck creates | |
5263 | a new root inode or a new lost+found directory, and when the user uses | |
5264 | the debugfs write, mknod, or mkdir commands. Otherwise, the newly | |
5265 | create inode could inherit garbage (or old EA information) from a | |
5266 | previously deleted inode. | |
5267 | ||
5268 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck so it would notice if a file with an extended | |
5269 | attribute block was exactly 2**32 blocks, such that i_blocks wrapped | |
5270 | to zero. | |
5271 | ||
5272 | Added support to filefrag to detect files which are using the new | |
5273 | experimental file extents format, and use the non-ext2 algorithm in | |
5274 | that case. Fixed a bug to avoid reporting a false discontinuity if | |
5275 | there is one or more unallocated blocks at the beginning of a file. | |
5276 | ||
5277 | Duplicated a check for noticing whether or not the number of blocks | |
5278 | (given a certain blocksize) is greater than 2**32 when the | |
5279 | BLKGETSIZE64 ioctl is not available to ext2fs_get_device_size(). This | |
5280 | allows mke2fs to automatically use a larger blocksize when creating a | |
5281 | filesystem on a very large device when run on systems that do not | |
5282 | support BLKGETSIZE64. | |
5283 | ||
5284 | Fix the I18N build which was broken in e2fsprogs 1.36 because the | |
5285 | build system had been switched to treat the .gmo files as shipped | |
5286 | files (for backwards compatibility with systems that have older GNU | |
5287 | I18N tools installed), but the gen_tarball.in script was still | |
5288 | removing the .gmo files from the official source distribution. | |
5289 | ||
5290 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for | |
5291 | details. (Addresses Debian Bugs ##296769, #299341) | |
5292 | ||
5293 | Programmer's notes: | |
5294 | ------------------- | |
5295 | ||
5296 | Added new functions to the e2p library which convert between a string | |
5297 | and os_type: e2p_os2string() and e2p_string2os(), and used them to | |
5298 | make the generated binaries more compact. | |
5299 | ||
5300 | Fixed a compile-time error on Darwin systems. | |
5301 | ||
5302 | Cleaned up the lib/ext2fs Makefile slightly. | |
5303 | ||
5304 | ||

5305 | E2fsprogs 1.36 (February 4, 2005) |
5306 | ================================= | |
2b0dc0ac TT |
5307 | |
5308 | All of the patches that were applied to Fedore Core 3's | |
5309 | e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2 have been integrated, although sometimes with a | |
5310 | lot of bug fixes first. Users of Fedora Core 3 are strongly | |
5311 | encouraged to upgrade to e2fsprogs 1.36 as soon as possible. | |
5312 | ||
5313 | Add support for filesystem with the online resizing via resize inode | |
5314 | feature. Fixed numerous bugs from the Fedora patches. The Fedora | |
5315 | patches also didn't bother to do any consistency checking on the | |
5316 | resize inode, or add any tests to the regression test suite. The "-R | |
5317 | resize=4g" option to mke2fs was a no-op in the Fedora patches, despite | |
5318 | being listed in mke2fs's usage message. All of these shortcomings | |
5319 | have been corrected. | |
5320 | ||
5321 | E2fsck can also also fix filesystems trashed by Fedora's resize2fs | |
5322 | program. In order to do this, the user must run the commands: | |
5323 | ||
d0a3b46c | 5324 | debugfs -w /dev/hdXXX -R "features ^resize_inode" |
2b0dc0ac TT |
5325 | e2fsck -f /dev/hdXXX |
5326 | ||
5327 | Optionally, the ext2prepare command can be used to re-enable online | |
5328 | resizing after the filesystem has been fixed. | |
5329 | ||
5330 | The fsck program will now accept an optional filedescriptor argument | |
5331 | to the -C option. (The Fedora version of this patch would sometimes | |
5332 | cause fsck to ignore a parameter on fsck's command line in some rare | |
5333 | cases, sigh.) | |
5334 | ||
dc256973 TT |
5335 | Make sure e2fsprogs doesn't write garbage into the reserved portion of |
5336 | large inodes. | |
5337 | ||
5338 | Make sure resize2fs releases the blocks belonging to the old inode | |
5339 | table blocks when moving the inode table. (Addresses Debian Bug: | |
5340 | #290894) | |
5341 | ||
5342 | Skip the r_resize_inode test if resize2fs is not compiled (due to | |
5343 | configure --disable-resizer) | |
5344 | ||
5345 | E2fsck now checks the summary filesystem accounting information, and | |
5346 | if any of the information is obviously wrong, it will force a full | |
5347 | filesystem check. (Addresses Debian Bug #291571) | |
5348 | ||
5349 | Fix e2fsck to not complain when the resize_inode feature is enabled, | |
5350 | s_reserved_gdt_blocks is zero, and there is no DIND block allocated in | |
5351 | the resize inode. | |
5352 | ||
8ceb55f0 TT |
5353 | Fix e2fsck to note delete symlinks that contain an extended attribute |
5354 | after the ext_attr feature flag has been cleared. (Addresses Red Hat | |
5355 | Bugzilla #146284). | |
5356 | ||
dc256973 TT |
5357 | Add new utility program, copy_sparse.c, which is very useful |
5358 | for dealing with large sparse files (such as e2image files). | |
5359 | ||
5360 | Add support for jnl_blocks[] for debugfs's set_super_value. | |
5361 | ||
5362 | Fix filefrag so that it works correctly with sparse files. | |
5363 | ||
3eee5e9e TT |
5364 | Filefrag -v will print first and last blocks. |
5365 | ||
dc256973 TT |
5366 | Add interpretation of OS Creator values for FreeBSD and Lites in mke2fs |
5367 | and dumpe2fs. | |
5368 | ||
8ceb55f0 TT |
5369 | Add mke2fs support so that it can support filesystems larger than 4TB |
5370 | automatically, by retrying with a 4k blocksize if the device size is | |
5371 | too big to be expressed using a 1k blocksize. (Addresses Sourceforge | |
5372 | bug #1106631) | |
5373 | ||
dc256973 TT |
5374 | Change blkid to test for NTFS first because Windows sometimes doesn't |
5375 | clear enough of the parition to confuse the probing routines into | |
5376 | thinking the old filesystem type is still valid. (Addresses Debian | |
5377 | Bug #291990) | |
5378 | ||
66fa0de8 TT |
5379 | Add support for swap partition label and uuid's in the blkid library. |
5380 | ||
dc256973 TT |
5381 | Add support to the blkid library to recognize Oracle ASM volumes. |
5382 | ||
5383 | Make blkid -t display all devices that match the specified criteria, | |
8ceb55f0 TT |
5384 | not just the first one, and work more consistently when the blkid |
5385 | cache file is not available or set to /dev/null. (Addresses Debian | |
5386 | Bug #290530 and #292425) | |
dc256973 | 5387 | |
2b0dc0ac TT |
5388 | Badblocks will now correctly display block numbers greater than |
5389 | 999,999,999 in its progress display. | |
5390 | ||
5391 | The tune2fs program will not allow the user from setting a ridiculous | |
5392 | number of reserved blocks which would cause e2fsck to assume the | |
5393 | superblock was corrupt. E2fsck's standards for what is a ridiculous | |
5394 | number of reserved block has also been relaxed to 50% of the blocks in | |
5395 | the filesystem. | |
5396 | ||
5397 | The blkid library will return vfat in preference to msdos, and ext3 in | |
5398 | preference to ext2 (if the journalling flag is set) so that mount will | |
5399 | do the right thing. (Addresses Debian bug #287455) | |
5400 | ||
5401 | Mke2fs will now use the -E option for extended options; the old -R | |
5402 | (raid options) option is still accepted for backwards compatibility. | |
5403 | Fix a double-free problem in resize2fs. (Red Hat Bugzilla #132707) | |
5404 | ||
5405 | Mke2fs will now accept a size in megabytes, gigabytes, and other units | |
5406 | (via "32m" or "4g" on the command line) if the user finds this more | |
5407 | convenient than specifying a block count. | |
5408 | ||
5409 | Fix an obscure, hard-to find bug in "e2fsck -S" caused by an inode | |
5410 | cache conherency problem. | |
5411 | ||
5412 | Debugfs now supports a new command, set_inode_field, which allows a | |
5413 | user to manually set a specific inode field more conveniently, as well | |
5414 | as set entries in the indirect block map. | |
5415 | ||
5416 | Debugfs's set_super_value command has been enhanced so that the user | |
5417 | can set most superblock fields, including the date/time fields and | |
5418 | some of the more newsly added superblock fields. | |
5419 | ||
5420 | E2fsprogs programs now accept an offset to be passed to the file | |
5421 | specifiers, via the syntax: "/tmp/test.img?offset=1024". | |
5422 | ||
5423 | E2fsprogs programs will now accept blocksizes up to 65536; kernel | |
5424 | support on the x86 doesn't exist for now, but it can be useful on | |
8ceb55f0 TT |
5425 | other architectures with page sizes greater than 4k. There are 2.6 |
5426 | kernel patches out there which enable this, but they are of this | |
5427 | writing still experimental. | |
2b0dc0ac | 5428 | |
4ee558fc TT |
5429 | The e2image command now takes the -s option which will scramble |
5430 | directory entries for raw image files. | |
5431 | ||
5432 | Fix a file descriptor leak in the filefrag program. | |
5433 | ||
5434 | Make sure e2fsck doesn't crash when /proc/acpi/ac_adapter is not | |
5435 | present. | |
5436 | ||
2b0dc0ac TT |
5437 | Fix bug in debugfs where kill_file would lead to errors when deleting |
5438 | devices and symlinks. (Sourceforge Bugs #954741 and #957244) | |
5439 | ||
5440 | Fix bug in the blkid library when detecting the ocfs1 filesystem | |
5441 | ||
5442 | Remove obsolete EVMS 1.x and a.out DLL support. | |
5443 | ||
5444 | E2fsck will attempt to recover from a journal containing illegal blocks. | |
48301129 TT |
5445 | |
5446 | Fixed two potential ordering constraint problems in e2fsck which might | |
5447 | cause the filesystem to be corrupted if e2fsck is interrupted during a | |
5448 | (extremely narrow) race window. Thanks to Junfeng Yang from the | |
5449 | Stanford Metacompilation group for pointing this out. | |
5450 | ||
5451 | Fixed bug in e2fsck where it would not accurately detect whether or | |
5452 | not the system is running on adaptor if the ACPI device representing | |
5453 | the AC adapter didn't correspond to the what was used on IBM | |
5454 | Thinkpads. | |
5455 | ||
5456 | Change e2fsck to accept directories greater than 32MB. | |
5457 | ||
5458 | Fix e2fsck so that a checkinterval of zero disables a time-based check | |
5459 | of the filesystem. | |
5460 | ||
5461 | Debugfs will check the DEBUGFS_PAGER enviroment variable in preference | |
5462 | to the PAGER environment variable. (Addresses Debian Bug #239547) | |
5463 | ||
5464 | Tune2fs will not mark rewrite the superblock if the feature bitmasks | |
5465 | are not modified. | |
5466 | ||
5467 | The debugfs program will set the filetype information when creating a | |
5468 | link. | |
5469 | ||
5470 | Add debugfs -d option to use a separate source of data blocks when | |
5471 | reading from an e2image file. | |
5472 | ||
5473 | Add e2image -I option which allows the e2image metadata to be | |
5474 | installed into a filesystem. | |
5475 | ||
5476 | Fixed bug in the badblocks program which caused "done" to always | |
5477 | appear in english even when a translation was available. (Addresses | |
5478 | Debian Bug #252836) | |
5479 | ||
5480 | The blkid program has a new option -o which controls the output format | |
5481 | of the blkid program; this is makes blkid more convenient to use in | |
5482 | shell scripts. | |
5483 | ||
5484 | Fix a minor bug in uuid library, which was not using the full 14 bits | |
5485 | of clock sequence when generating UUID's. | |
5486 | ||
5487 | Fix a Y8.8888K problem in the uuid library. | |
5488 | ||
5489 | Logsave now creates a new session id for itself to avoid getting | |
5490 | killed by init whan transitioning between init levels. | |
5491 | ||
5492 | Change the licensing of the UUID library to be the 3-clause BSD-style | |
5493 | license; this allows Apple to use the uuid library in Darwin. | |
5494 | ||
5495 | Add ocfs and ocfs2 probe support into the blkid library. | |
5496 | ||
5497 | Fix a memory and file descriptor leak in the blkid library. | |
5498 | ||
5499 | The blkid library will revalidate the device if the system time is | |
5500 | earlier than last verification time of the device, since that | |
5501 | indicates that the system time is probably nottrustworthy. | |
5502 | ||
5503 | The blkid library will override the default location of the blkid.tab | |
5504 | file by the BLKID_FILE environment variable, if it is available. | |
5505 | ||
5506 | Change the getsize functions to use the BLKGETSIZE64 ioctl on Linux 2.6. | |
5507 | ||
5508 | Add various portability fixes for lame new versions of glibc, Darwin | |
5509 | and GNU/KFreeBSD, as well as removing XSI:ism's. (Addresses Debian | |
2b0dc0ac TT |
5510 | Bugs #239934, #264630, #269044, #255589, #289133) |
5511 | ||
5512 | Add support for Windows 9x/NT under Cygwin. | |
48301129 TT |
5513 | |
5514 | Updated and clarified various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs #236383, | |
2b0dc0ac | 5515 | #241940, #238741, #242995, #256669, #268148, #256760, #273679) |
48301129 TT |
5516 | |
5517 | Updated and fixed translations. (Addresses Debian bugs #244105, #262836) | |
5518 | ||
5519 | Update the rpm spec files so that it works better with Fedora core 2 | |
5520 | and RH9. | |
5521 | ||
5522 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues (see debian/changelog). In | |
5523 | particular, fixed the Debian initrd scripts. (#241183, #248050, | |
5524 | #253595, #247775) | |
5525 | ||
5526 | ||
5527 | Programmer's notes: | |
5528 | ------------------- | |
5529 | ||
2b0dc0ac | 5530 | Fixed various gcc -Wall warnings. |
48301129 TT |
5531 | |
5532 | The uuid library now has new functions uuid_unparse_upper() and | |
5533 | uuid_unparse_lower() which forces the case of the hex digits to be | |
5534 | upper case, or lower case. | |
5535 | ||
5536 | The build process has been speeded up by enhancing the subst program | |
5537 | to update the modtime on the generated files even when the generated | |
5538 | file hasn't changed. | |
5539 | ||
5540 | The uuid library now uses C99 stdint.h types instead of custom types. | |
5541 | ||
5542 | Updated config.guess and config.sub with newer versions from the FSF. | |
5543 | ||
5544 | Removed out of date .cvsignore files from the source distribution. | |
5545 | ||
2b0dc0ac TT |
5546 | The ext2fs_unlink() function will return an error if both the name and |
5547 | inode number are unspecified, to avoid doing something surprising | |
5548 | (such as unconditionally deleting the first directory entry). | |
5549 | Directory entries are now deleted by coalescing them with the previous | |
5550 | directory entry if possible, to avoid directory fragmentation. This | |
5551 | is not an issue with the e2fsprogs suite, but may be a problem for | |
5552 | some of the users of libext2fs, such as e2tools. | |
5553 | ||
5554 | Add support for version numbers of the form "1.36-rc1". | |
5555 | ||
48301129 TT |
5556 | Fix build of mke2fs.static. |
5557 | ||
dc256973 TT |
5558 | Add basic ext2fs library support for large (EA in inode) inodes. |
5559 | ||
48301129 TT |
5560 | The test_io mechanism can now abort after n reads or writes to a |
5561 | particular block. The block is specified by TEST_IO_BLOCK environment | |
5562 | variable, and the read/write count by the TEST_IO_READ_ABORT and | |
5563 | TEST_IO_WRITE_ABORT environment variables. The block data is now only | |
5564 | dumped if the 0x10 bit is set in TEST_IO_FLAGS. | |
5565 | ||
5566 | UUID_DEFINE() in the uuid library now creates a static variable, with | |
5567 | __attribute__ ((unused)) if we are using GCC, so that UUID_DEFINE can | |
5568 | be used in header files. | |
5569 | ||
2b0dc0ac TT |
5570 | Add support for the install-strip and install-shlibs-strip targets, as |
5571 | suggested by the GNU coding guielines. "make install" no longer | |
5572 | strips the binaries which are installed. | |
5573 | ||
3eee5e9e TT |
5574 | Remove support for the --enable-old-bitops configure option which was |
5575 | only for very old sparc systems. | |
5576 | ||
5577 | Remove support for --enable-clear-htree; this was only needed during | |
5578 | the early development of the htree patch. | |
5579 | ||
2b0dc0ac TT |
5580 | Use Linux-kernel-style makefile output so it is easier to see compiler |
5581 | warnings. | |
5582 | ||
5583 | Update gettext files to version 0.14.1. | |
5584 | ||
5585 | Update to use autoconf 2.5x. | |
5586 | ||
5587 | Improved support for compiling e2fsprogs under dietlibc. | |
5588 | ||
4ee558fc TT |
5589 | Make e2fsprogs portable to Solaris and FreeBSD systems. |
5590 | ||
8ceb55f0 TT |
5591 | Add blkid_verify(), blkid_get_library_version(), and |
5592 | blkid_parse_version_string() functions to the blkid library. | |
dc256973 TT |
5593 | |
5594 | Add pkg-config files for e2fsprogs's libraries. | |
5595 | ||
5596 | Fix "make uninstall" to so that it removes everything that is installed. | |
5597 | ||
3eee5e9e TT |
5598 | Add a configure --enable-maintainer-mode option which enables the |
5599 | makefile rules to rebuild the configure script from configure.in, and | |
5600 | to reubuild the .gmo files in po directory. | |
5601 | ||
5602 | Drop the sparc assembly bitwise operations; it's less efficient | |
5603 | than the GCC 3.4 compile code and triggers compiler warnings on | |
5604 | sparc64. Thanks to Matthias Andree for his analysis and suggestions. | |

5608 | E2fsprogs 1.35 (February 28, 2004) |
5609 | ================================== | |
5610 | ||
48301129 | 5611 | E2fsck has a new -k option, which in conjunction with the -c options, |
b70b1167 TT |
5612 | preserves the existing badblocks list. |
5613 | ||
48301129 | 5614 | Cleaned up e2fsck's preen-mode messages during the passes 1b, 1c, and 1d. |
b70b1167 TT |
5615 | |
5616 | E2fsprogs will now deal correctly with symlinks that contain | |
5617 | extended attribute information, which can be created using SE Linux. | |
5618 | (Addresses Debian Bug #232328) | |
5619 | ||
5620 | Remove a double longjump into an invalid stack frame bug in e2fsck. | |
5621 | (This was during an abort sequence, which normally worked on Linux and | |
5622 | caused a core dump on other operating systems.) | |
c4c30b20 | 5623 | |
1daf7585 TT |
5624 | Fix NLS bug in e2fsck, by avoiding trying to expand an empty string |
5625 | (the NLS library will replace "" with the .po header information). | |
5626 | ||
c4c30b20 TT |
5627 | Fix a bug in mke2fs which caused -T largefile or -T largefile4 to core |
5628 | dump due to a division by zero error. (Addresses Debian bug #207082) | |
5629 | ||
151a7162 TT |
5630 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused it to incorrectly fix a filesystem |
5631 | when reconnecting a directory requires creating a lost+found | |
5632 | directory. (Addresses Debian bug #219640). | |
5633 | ||
5634 | Fixed a bug where e2fsck would bomb out if a journal needed to be | |
5635 | replayed when using an alternate superblock. | |
5636 | ||
48301129 | 5637 | E2fsck will give an extra grace period before actually forcing a check |
c4c30b20 TT |
5638 | if the laptop is running on battery. The next time fsck runs while |
5639 | the system is on the AC mains, or after the grace period is exceeded, | |
5640 | the filesystem will be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #205177) | |
5641 | ||
5642 | E2fsck will inform the user when there are 5 or fewer mounts before a | |
5643 | filesystem check will be forced. (Addresses Debian bug #157194) | |
5644 | ||
5645 | Fix e2fsck's handling of corrupted indirect blocks in the bad block. | |
5646 | We now correctly handle the case where there is an overlap between a | |
5647 | block group descriptor or a superblock and a bad block indirect block. | |
5648 | In the case where the indirect block is corrupted, we now suggest | |
5649 | "e2fsck -c". | |
5650 | ||
1daf7585 TT |
5651 | Fix byte swap bugs in e2fsck that caused the journal backup location |
5652 | in the superblock and symlinks created by SE Linux to be cleared | |
5653 | by e2fsck on big-endian machines. (Addresses Debian bug #228723) | |
5654 | ||
c4c30b20 TT |
5655 | E2fsck -c now replaces the current list of bad blocks with the ones |

5658 | Fix bugs in e2fsck and tune2fs which could cause a core dump if a | |
5659 | non-existent LABEL or UUID specifier is to e2fsck or tune2fs. | |
5660 | ||
5661 | Fix a potential bug in e2fsck which could cause it to core dump when | |
5662 | trying to print the location of the backup superblock. | |
5663 | ||
5664 | Protect against a potential core dump in e2fsck when printing a | |
5665 | message about backup superblocks. | |
858dd7b1 | 5666 | |
6826bde5 TT |
5667 | Add support for backing up the journal inode location in the |
5668 | superblock. E2fsck will automatically save the journal information in | |
5669 | the superblock if it is not there already, and will use it if the | |
5670 | journal inode appears to be corrupted. ext2fs_add_journal_inode() | |
5671 | will also save the backup information, so that new filesystems created | |
5672 | by mke2fs and filesystems that have journals added via tune2fs will | |
5673 | also have journal location written to the superblock as well. | |
5674 | Debugfs's logdump command has been enhanced so that it can use the | |
5675 | journal information in the superblock. | |
c4c30b20 TT |
5676 | |
5677 | E2fsck will now update all superblocks when moving the journal inode. | |
6826bde5 TT |
5678 | |
5679 | Shrink the size of the e2fsck executable by moving some initialized | |
5680 | variables to the BSS segment. | |
5681 | ||
5682 | E2fsck will avoid printing the ^A and ^B characters which bracket the | |
5683 | progress bar when stdout and stdin are a tty device instead of a pipe | |
5684 | to another program. (Addresses Debian bug #204137) | |
5685 | ||
151a7162 TT |
5686 | Debugfs's mkdir command will automatically expand the directory if |
5687 | necessary. (Addresses Debian Bug: #217892) | |
5688 | ||
5689 | Fixed a bug in debugfs so that copying a file from /dev/null uses the | |
5690 | correct mode bits. (Addresses Debian Bug: #217456) | |
5691 | ||
5692 | If the environment variables DEBUFS_PAGER and PAGER are not set, | |
5693 | debugfs now searches for the appropriate pager to use, beginning with | |
2b5ddd75 | 5694 | /usr/bin/pager, and then falling back to 'more' and 'less'. |
1daf7585 TT |
5695 | (Addresses Debian bug #221977) |

b70b1167 TT |
5697 | Debugfs will now support 2.6 device numbers where the major or minor |
5698 | number may be larger than 255. (Addresses Sourceforge bug #865289) | |

5705 | Fix regression tests so they work correctly when e2fsprogs is compiled |
5706 | with configure --disable-htree. | |
5707 | ||
1daf7585 TT |
5708 | Fix bug in uuid library when there is no network card and the library |
5709 | is generating a time-based uuid. The random MAC address was not | |
5710 | correctly generated to be a multicast address. | |
5711 | ||
858dd7b1 | 5712 | Add compile_et extensions from Heimdall that were missed the first time |
48301129 | 5713 | around. |
858dd7b1 TT |
5714 | |
5715 | Fix bug in badblocks when using O_DIRECT; we need to make sure that | |
5716 | we're reading from an offset which is page aligned. For read-only and | |
5717 | read-write tests, we try to recover after an error so that we can | |
5718 | continue reading on page-aligned boundaries. (Addresses Debian Bug | |
5719 | #203713) | |

5731 | Programmer's notes: | |
5732 | ------------------- | |
5733 | ||
b70b1167 TT |
5734 | Fixed a build problem so that e2fsprogs would compile with the |
5735 | --enable-profile option to configure selected. (Addresses Sourceforge | |
5736 | bug #811408) | |
5737 | ||
5738 | Fixed C++ problems with the ext2fs.h header. (Addresses Red Hat | |
5739 | Bugzilla Bug #112448) | |
5740 | ||
c4c30b20 TT |
5741 | Centralize code which calculates the location of the superblock |
5742 | and block group descriptors so that it is in a single library routine. | |
5743 | ||
6826bde5 TT |
5744 | Added two new functions, ext2fs_file_open2() and |
5745 | ext2fs_inode_io_intern2() which take a pointer to an inode structure. | |
5746 | ||
5747 | Fix compile_et to output the correct prototype for | |
5748 | initialize_xxx_err_table_r() in the header file. (Addresses Debian | |
5749 | bug #204332) | |
5750 | ||
5751 | In the lib/et makefile, make sure com_err.info is deleted on "make clean". | |
5752 | ||
858dd7b1 TT |
5753 | Fix 64-bit warnings in e2fsprogs pass1b by using inttypes.h if |
5754 | present. This is for when we try stuffing an int into void * pointer. | |
5755 | ||
5756 | Fix type-punning which can cause gcc 3.x to miscompile code by getting | |
5757 | confused about pointer aliasing. ext2fs_getmem(), ext2fs_free_mem(), | |
5758 | and ext2fs_resize_mem() all now take a 'void *' instead of a 'void | |
5759 | **'. The EVMS code uses an ugly union approach since we don't want to | |
5760 | modify the EVMS interfaces. | |
5761 | ||
5762 | Make sure all Makefiles use $(MAKE) rather than hardcoded "make", to | |
5763 | aid build process on systems can use invoke GNU make as "gmake". | |
5764 | ||
c4c30b20 TT |
5765 | Added regression testing for mke2fs. |
5766 | ||
5767 | Fixed gcc -Wall nitpicks. | |
5768 | ||
1daf7585 TT |
5769 | Fixed various compiler warnings. |
5770 | ||
5771 | Add portability fixes for FreeBSD and for using fsctl under Darwin to | |
5772 | support ext2 ioctl's. | |
5773 | ||

9c7ec178 TT |
5775 | E2fsprogs 1.34 (July 25, 2003) |
5776 | =============================== | |
5777 | ||
5778 | Fixed a bug introduced in E2fsprogs 1.30 which caused fsck to spin in | |
5779 | a tight loop while waiting for a child fsck to exit in some cases. | |
5780 | This burns CPU times which slows down the low-level filesystem check. | |
5781 | ||
5782 | Added code to mke2fs to assure that the default block size for a | |
5783 | filesystem is at least as big as the sector size of the device, if it | |
5784 | can be determined. | |
5785 | ||
5786 | Changed mke2fs and resize2fs to round the default size of a filesystem | |
5787 | to be an even multiple of the VM pagesize in order to avoid a Linux | |
5788 | kernel bug introduced when the storage of the buffer cache was moved | |
5789 | into the page cache. | |
5790 | ||
5791 | Mke2fs will warn the user when creating a filesystem with journaling | |
5792 | and a blocksize greater than 4096. (Addresses Debian bug #193773) | |
5793 | ||
5794 | Fixed a bug in resize2fs which caused it to fail on filesystems with a | |
5795 | non-empty bad block list. Resize2fs now discards any blocks on the | |
5796 | badblock list which are no longer part of the filesystem as the result | |
5797 | of a filesystem shrink. (Note: this means that shrinking and then | |
5798 | enlarging a filesystem is no longer a reversible operation; | |
5799 | information about bad blocks in the part of the filesystem which is to | |
5800 | be chopped off will be lost.) | |
5801 | ||
5802 | Changed resize2fs so the user can use prefixes to specify the units of | |
5803 | the new filesystem size (sectors, kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes), | |
5804 | and to make the error and informational messages explicitly display | |
5805 | the blocksize used by the filesystem, in order to avoid confusion. | |
5806 | (Addresses Debian bug: #189814) | |
5807 | ||
5808 | Added a new debugfs command, dump_unused, which dumps the contents of | |
5809 | all unused blocks to stdout. (Useful as an emergency try-to-find | |
5810 | deleted data command.) | |
5811 | ||
5812 | Added a new debugfs command, imap, which prints the location of a | |
5813 | specified inode in the inode table. | |
5814 | ||
5815 | Fixed a bug in the badblocks program which caused it to use one bit of | |
5816 | randomness in its non-destructive read/write test, instead of using a | |
5817 | full 8 bits of randomness. | |
5818 | ||
5819 | Added a new option (-t) to badblocks, which allows the user to control | |
5820 | the test pattern(s) used when checking a disk. | |
5821 | ||
5822 | The blkid probe function now more correctly detects UDF filesystems. | |
5823 | ||
5824 | Fixed a bug in the blkid library which caused it to not update its | |
5825 | cache if a filesystem changes from having a label to not having a | |
5826 | label. | |
5827 | ||
5828 | Fixed a bug in the blkid library wihch could avoid an infinite loop | |
5829 | in blkid_find_dev_with_tag() if /proc is not mounted and there the | |
5830 | /etc/blkid.tab file has not yet been created. | |
5831 | ||
5832 | Fixed the badblocks program so that the destructive read/write test | |
5833 | honors the -c option, and to use O_DIRECT when possible to avoid | |
5834 | thrashing the system block buffer cache. | |
5835 | ||
5836 | Fixed various NLS issues. | |
c8a40402 | 5837 | - Added Czech and Swedish translations |
9c7ec178 TT |
5838 | - Removed testing NYC translation |
5839 | - Fixed NLS support for message abbrevations in e2fsck | |
5840 | - Remove de-utf.po, since we shouldn't have two versions using different | |
5841 | charset encodings. | |
5842 | - Used ngettext() (abbreivated with the macro P_(str1, str2, n)) to | |
5843 | simplify the statistics reporting in e2fsck. | |
5844 | ||
5845 | Changed configure.in so that its defaults for *BSD systems no longer | |
5846 | build an fsck wrapper, and not to install in /usr/local by default. | |
5847 | ||
5848 | Fixed some minor spelling errors/typo's in e2fsck and the configure | |
5849 | script. | |
5850 | ||
5851 | Fixed various Debian packaging issues (see debian/changelog). | |
5852 | ||
5853 | Updated and clarified man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug #195616) | |
5854 | ||
5855 | Programmer's notes: | |
5856 | ------------------- | |
5857 | ||
5858 | Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks. | |
5859 | ||
5860 | Updated gettext implementation used by e2fsprogs to 0.11.5, and enable | |
5861 | NLS support by default. (Added partial workaround for gettext/Darwin | |
5862 | incompatibility problems.) | |
5863 | ||
5864 | Added full MIT KRB5 and Himdall compaibility support to the com_err | |
5865 | library and the compile_et program. (Addresses Debian bug #191900) | |
5866 | ||
5867 | Added the blkid_known_fstype() function to the blkid library, which | |
5868 | returns true if it is passed a filesystem type which is recognized by | |
5869 | the blkid probing functions. | |
5870 | ||
5871 | Improved the documentation for the blkid library. | |
5872 | ||
5873 | Added the ext2fs_get_device_sectsize() function the the ext2fs library, which | |
5874 | returns the hardware sector size of a device, if it is available. | |
5875 | ||
5876 | Added a dependency in the blkid library's .so file to the uuid | |
5877 | library, since the former uses the latter. (Addresses Debian bug | |
5878 | #194094) | |
5879 | ||
5880 | Added --with-diet-libc and --disable-evms to the configure script. | |
5881 | ||
5882 | Fixed a minor memory leak in the badblocks program. | |
5883 | ||
5884 | Fixed a portability problem in tune2fs --- not all systems have strptime(). | |
5885 | ||
5886 | Fixed a portability problem in debugfs with the use of getopt() more | |
5887 | than once. Old-style BSD, new-style BSD, and Linux C libraries all do | |
5888 | things differently. | |
5889 | ||
5890 | Add support Windows support to ext2fs_get_device_size(). | |
5891 | ||
5892 | Added (normally disabled) debugging code to the Unix I/O manager which | |
5893 | causes it to disable all userspace caching if the NO_IO_CACHE is | |
5894 | defined. | |
5895 | ||
5896 | Changed the test I/O manager so it can always be linked into e2fsck, | |
5897 | mke2fs, and tune2fs if enabled via --enable-test-io-debug to the | |
5898 | configure script. The test I/O manager will only print any debugging | |
5899 | information if the TEST_IO_FLAGS or TEST_IO_BLOCK environment | |
5900 | variables are set, which specifies which I/O operations are logged and | |
5901 | a block number to watch, respectively. The log messages are sent to | |
5902 | stderr by default, unless a filename is specified via the | |
5903 | TEST_IO_LOGFILE environment variable. | |
5904 | ||
5905 | ||
71df0dc3 | 5906 | E2fsprogs 1.33 (April 21, 2003) |
9c7ec178 | 5907 | =============================== |
508d7f3c | 5908 | |
ba142c1b TT |
5909 | Added a new utility program, logsave, which captures the output of a |
5910 | command in a log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been | |
5911 | mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in memory until it | |
5912 | can write out the logfile). This is useful for capturing the | |
5913 | output of fsck during the boot sequence. | |
5914 | ||
5915 | Fixed some portability problems that were causing problems under | |
5916 | the Cygwin32 environment. | |
5917 | ||
5918 | Mke2fs now interprets a negative number to the -b option as a minimum | |
5919 | block size. | |
5920 | ||
5921 | Fixed a bug in mke2fs which was incorrectly checking the argument to | |
5922 | the -g option if the default block size was used. (Addresses Debian | |
5923 | bug #188319) | |
5924 | ||
5925 | Fsck now explicitly ignores tmpfs and devpts, and it will complain if | |
5926 | it can not find filesystem checkers for jfs, reseirfs, and xfs. | |
5927 | ||
5928 | E2fsck now updates the global free block and inode counters from the | |
5929 | block group specific counters quietly. This is needed for an | |
5930 | experimental patch which eliminates locking the entire filesystem when | |
5931 | allocating blocks or inodes; if the filesystem is not unmounted | |
5932 | cleanly, the global counts may not be accurate. | |
5933 | ||
5934 | Imported bug fixes to the EVMS plugin from the EVMS 2.0 tree. (EVMS | |
5935 | 2.0 is not yet supported; this only pulled in the bug fixes: fixed | |
5936 | possible hangs caused by bugs in calling waitpid, and not setting the | |
5937 | pipe to non-blocking mode; also fixed a file descriptor leak; made | |
5938 | sure all functions call log entry/exit functions.) | |
5939 | ||
5940 | Badblocks now flushes its output file as bad blocks are discovered. | |
5941 | ||
5942 | The uuid library is now more paranoid about assuming the correctness | |
5943 | of the /dev/random device; it mixes in a stream of bytes from | |
5944 | random/srandom, just in case. | |
5945 | ||
39d38b05 | 5946 | Update Debian files to reflect the fact that I am now the Debian |
ba142c1b TT |
5947 | maintainer of e2fsprogs. Other various Debian-specific packaging |
5948 | cleanups. | |
39d38b05 TT |
5949 | |
5950 | Move the source tarball generation functions from the top-level | |
5951 | makefile to the util/gen-tarball script. | |
5952 | ||
5953 | Updated the Turkish .po translation file. | |
5954 | ||
1daf7585 | 5955 | Added Heimdal and MIT krb5 extensions to the com_err library to make |
39d38b05 TT |
5956 | it more compatible with com_err libraries from those distributions. |
5957 | ||
5958 | Changed dumpe2fs to always display the superblock fields relating to | |
5959 | the journalling and/or directory indexing feature even if those | |
5960 | features are not enabled. | |
5961 | ||
508d7f3c TT |
5962 | Updated and clarify copyright statement vis-a-vis alpha releases of |
5963 | e2fsprogs. | |
5964 | ||
5965 | The ss library will now try to dynamically link to the readline | |
5966 | library and use it if it is present in the system. This means that | |
ba142c1b TT |
5967 | the debugfs program now has line editing and history features. The |
5968 | SS_READLINE_PATH environment variable is used to find a readline or | |
5969 | readline-compatible library. | |
3809bf1d | 5970 | |
e5dced7f TT |
5971 | E2fsck now finds most duplicate filenames (all when rebuilding all |
5972 | directories via the -D option) and offers to delete or rename | |
5973 | duplicate filenames/directory entries. (Addresses Debian Bug #176814). | |
5974 | ||
5975 | Fix bug in e2image. When writing out a raw image file, include data | |
5976 | blocks from symlinks that do not store the symlink within the inode. | |
5977 | ||
3809bf1d TT |
5978 | Fix bug in resize2fs which incorrectly moved the block and inode |
5979 | bitmaps for sparse superblock filesystems and incorrectly marked | |
5980 | blocks as in use. (Addresses Debian bug #174766) | |
5981 | ||
5982 | Added a new shared library, the blkid library, which efficiently | |
5983 | allows fsck, mke2fs, e2fsck, and tune2fs to be able to look up LABEL | |
5984 | and UUID filesystem specifiers without needing to search all of the | |
5985 | devices in the system. Instead, the device is looked up in a cache | |
5986 | file, and then verified to make sure the blkid cache is correct. | |
5987 | ||
5988 | Tune2fs and e2label will accept LABEL=xxx and UID=yyy specifiers for | |
5989 | the device name, using the blkid library. (Addresses Debian bugs | |
5990 | #166048, #179671) | |
5991 | ||
5992 | Fsck now supports backslash escapes in /etc/fstab so that \040 can be | |
5993 | used for spaces in device labels. | |
5994 | ||
5995 | Removed 32-bit limitations for debugfs's dump command. | |
5996 | ||
5997 | If the user specifies a large number of inodes, Mke2fs will | |
5998 | automatically adjust the number of blocks per group to find a valid | |
5999 | set of filesystem parameters. | |
6000 | ||
6001 | Add workaround to detect broken MD devices where when some of the | |
6002 | underlying devices are marked read-only, writes to the MD device are | |
6003 | silently dropped. E2fsck will detect if there is an attempt to run | |
6004 | the journal twice, and abort with an error if this is the case. | |
6005 | (Addresses IBM Bugzilla bug #1226) | |
6006 | ||
6007 | E2fsck will print an error if more than one of the -p/-a, -n or -y | |
6008 | options are specified. | |
6009 | ||
6010 | E2fsck will fix HTREE corruptions in preen mode, without stopping the | |
6011 | boot process. This is needed because the 2.4 ext2 filesystem | |
6012 | accidentally had the INDEX_FL backwards compatibility code removed. | |
6013 | ||
6014 | Mke2fs no longer creates filesystems with the dir_index flag set by | |
6015 | default; the user has to specifically request it. | |
6016 | ||
6017 | Update and clarified various man pages. (Addresses Debian bugs | |
ba142c1b | 6018 | #173612, #175233, #175113, and #170497, #185945, #188318) |
3809bf1d | 6019 | |
508d7f3c TT |
6020 | Created man page for the mk_cmds program (from the libss library). |
6021 | ||
3809bf1d TT |
6022 | Programmer's notes: |
6023 | ------------------- | |
6024 | ||
6025 | Fix various gcc -Wall nits. | |
6026 | ||
6027 | Fixed a lot of portability problems that caused e2fsprogs not to build | |
e5dced7f TT |
6028 | successfully under Solaris and Apple/Darwin. |
6029 | ||
6030 | Fixed a Makefile dependency to allow building e2fsprogs using parallel | |
6031 | make jobs. | |
3809bf1d TT |
6032 | |
6033 | Changes to create a subset distribution which consists only of the | |
6034 | et, ss, uuid, and blkid libraries. The configure script and top-level | |
6035 | makefile were changed to support working with a subset distribution. | |
6036 | ||
ba142c1b TT |
6037 | Removed EXT2_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_BTREE_DIR mention of since it's not |
6038 | actually used, and might people who are looking for | |
6039 | EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_DIR_INDEX, which is in use. | |
6040 | ||
508d7f3c TT |
6041 | Updated debian files to fix a number of Lintian warnings. |
6042 | ||
6043 | Updated config.guess and config.sub with newer versions from the FSF. | |
3809bf1d | 6044 | |
71df0dc3 TT |
6045 | Removed unnecessary libraries from being linked into the fsck, lsattr, |
6046 | chattr, and blkid executables. | |
6047 | ||
38513011 TT |
6048 | E2fsprogs 1.32 (Nomvember 9, 2002) |
6049 | ================================== | |
6050 | ||
6051 | Fixed a bug in the Unix I/O routines which caused needless writebacks | |
6052 | of clean blocks from the unix_io cache (they were erroneously marked | |
6053 | as being dirty, so they were getting written back to disk before | |
6054 | getting evicted from the disk cache). This was harmless, but it | |
6055 | significantly slowed down e2fsck. | |
6056 | ||
6057 | Made some other minor optimizations to the Unix I/O routines to save a | |
6058 | small amount of CPU time. | |
6059 | ||
6060 | Updated internationalization files. | |

6063 | E2fsprogs 1.31 (Nomvember 8, 2002) |
6064 | ================================== | |
6065 | ||
6066 | Update EVMS ext2fsim plugin with EVMS 1.2. (We still support | |
6067 | compiling the fsim plugin with EVMS 1.0 and 1.1.) Add better error | |
6068 | handling for child process that die unexpectly. Add a hack to force | |
6069 | mkfs to create filesystems that won't cause problems with hardware | |
6070 | that has 2k or 4k minimum blocksize requirements. Read from child | |
6071 | processes in non-blocking mode, so that the GUI continues to update. | |
6072 | ||
6073 | Fix e2fsck so that it returns the appropriate exit code when the root | |
6074 | filesystem has been changed, so that system's rc scripts will be told that | |
6075 | the system needs to be rebooted. | |
6076 | ||
6077 | Fix a bug in ext2fs_flush/ext2fs_close; when the MASTER_SB_ONLY flag | |
6078 | was set, some of the descriptor blocks that should have been written | |
6079 | out were getting skipped. | |
6080 | ||
6081 | Changed e2fsck to force out changes to the backup copies of the | |
6082 | superblock and block group descriptors when important changes are made | |
6083 | to those data structures. | |
6084 | ||
6085 | Fix a bug where e2fsck could erroneously mark a filesystem as being | |
6086 | clean if a check of dirty filesystem is interrupted with a ^C. (Bug | |
6087 | introduced in e2fsprogs 1.28.) | |
6088 | ||
6089 | If journal debuging is enabled using --enable-jbd-debug, the debugging | |
6090 | level is now set via the E2FSCK_JBD_DEBUG environment variable. | |
6091 | ||
6092 | If byteswapping support is disabled using configure --disable-swapfs, | |
6093 | skip the tests which depend on byte-swapping, so that "make check" | |
6094 | won't bomb out. | |
6095 | ||
6096 | Lshattr will now display the indexed directory flag. Also, some of | |
6097 | the more esoteric compression flags are supressed unless compression | |
6098 | support has been enabled. | |
6099 | ||
6100 | Update man pages. | |
6101 | ||

6103 | E2fsprogs 1.30 (October 31, 2002) |
6104 | ================================= | |
6105 | ||
6106 | When resizing a filesystem, and inodes need to moved, resize2fs will | |
6107 | update the inode's ctime field, and the mtime field of the containing | |
6108 | directories, so that incremental backups using dump/restore will work | |
6109 | correctly. | |
6110 | ||
6111 | In order to avoid spurious errors, e2fsck wil check the last | |
6112 | superblock write time to determine whether or not it can safely use | |
6113 | the LOW_DTIME checks to determine if there are inodes on the orphan | |
6114 | inode linked list that had somehow gotten disconnected. (Addresses | |
6115 | Sourceforge bug #620980) | |
6116 | ||
6117 | Partition in /proc/partitions that being with the string "lvm" are | |
6118 | considered real partitions even if they do not end with a number. | |
6119 | ||
6120 | Fixed a bug in the the uuid generation function, where if /dev/urandom | |
6121 | is not present, but /dev/random is, and there isn't sufficient | |
6122 | entropy, the get_random_byte function could spin a loop forever. | |
6123 | ||
6124 | E2fsck, mke2fs, etc. will now reliably notice when image files are | |
6125 | mounted using the loopback interface. (Addresses Sourceforge bug | |
6126 | #619119) | |
6127 | ||
6128 | When flushing buffers (as is done by badblocks, for example) check to | |
6129 | see if the BLKFLSBUF ioctl succeeds, and if so, avoid using the | |
6130 | FDFLUSH ioctl which causes the MD device driver which causes confusing | |
6131 | syslog messages about obselete ioctl messages. (Addresses Sourceforge | |
6132 | bug #545832). | |
6133 | ||
6134 | Debugfs's write command now checks to see if the destination filename | |
6135 | exists before creating it. (Addresses Sourceforge bug #478195.) | |
6136 | ||
6137 | When installing man pages, search for compressed man pages using all | |
6138 | commonly used compression extensions (i.e., .Z, .gz, .bz2, etc.) | |
6139 | ||
6140 | Fixed a bug in fsck where multiple filesystems specified on the | |
6141 | command were not being checked in parallel due to a logic bug | |
6142 | introduced to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment variable. | |
6143 | ||
6144 | We have added a new superblock field, s_mkfs_time, which indicates | |
6145 | when a filesystem was created. It is set via mke2fs, and printed out | |
6146 | by dumpe2fs, but is not actually touched by the kernel. | |
6147 | ||
6148 | Dumpe2fs has been made more robust by not aborting if there is an | |
6149 | error reading the block/inode bitmaps; instead it will still print out | |
6150 | the location of the block/inode bitmaps and inode table. | |
6151 | ||
6152 | Add support for the an alternative block group descriptor layout which | |
6153 | allows for on-line resizing without needing to prepare the filesystem | |
6154 | in advance. (This is the incomat feature flag meta_bg.) | |
6155 | ||
6156 | Add support for storing default mount options in the superblock, so | |
6157 | that the filesystem can be mounted with specific mount options without | |
6158 | needing to specify them on the mount command line or in the /etc/fstab | |
6159 | file. | |
6160 | ||
6161 | Add support for a new inode flag, which is to be used for indicating | |
6162 | the top of directory hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator. | |
6163 | ||
6164 | Fix e2fsck so that if it creates the lost+found directory, it does so | |
6165 | with the more apporpriate permissions of 0700. Also change | |
6166 | mklost+found so that it also creates the directory 0700. | |
6167 | ||
6168 | Fixed format bug in e2fsck if NLS is in use. | |
6169 | ||
6170 | Add a German translation for e2fsprogs's NLS support. | |
6171 | ||
6172 | Fixed e2fsck so that it more handles BAD_BLOCK_IN_INODE_TABLE even at | |
6173 | the beginning of the inode table. This won't matter much, since if | |
6174 | there is a bad block at the beginning of the inode table, the root | |
6175 | directory won't be available. But at least e2fsck won't crash in this | |
6176 | case. | |
6177 | ||
6178 | Fixed endian problems in the htree code for e2fsck and debugfs. | |
6179 | ||
6180 | When byte-swapping a filesystem on a PPC architecture, byte-swap the | |
6181 | bitmaps since the historical big-endian ext2 variant had byte-swapped | |
6182 | bitmaps, and the ext2fs library assumes this. This fixes the | |
6183 | regression test suite on PPC machines. | |
6184 | ||
6185 | Fix e2image so that it handles a bad block in the inode table | |
6186 | appropriately. | |
d5e7810e TT |
6187 | |
6188 | E2fsck now uses a more sophisticated algorithm to salvage corrupted | |
6189 | directories that recovers more information in the corrupted directory | |
6190 | block. | |
6191 | ||
6192 | E2fsck now performs additional consistency checks on indexed (HTREE) | |
6193 | directories. | |
6194 | ||
6195 | Fix bug where efsck might get confused about whether a completely | |
6196 | empty directory block is an empty leaf block or an interior htree | |
6197 | node. This could cause e2fsck to get confused into think that a valid | |
6198 | indexed directory was corrupted. | |
6199 | ||
6200 | E2fsck no longer creates an empty directory entry at the end of a | |
6201 | directory block when optimizing a directory. This would cause some | |
6202 | earlier versions of the dxdir kernel code to corrupt the directory | |
6203 | when attempting to split a node containing an empty directory entry. | |
6204 | ||
6205 | E2fsck could sometimes in rare circumstances leave the indexed flag | |
6206 | set after a small directory was optimized by compressing it instead of | |
6207 | indexing it. (This should never happen in real life, since | |
6208 | directories that small wouldn't have been indexed, but better safe | |
6209 | than sorry.) | |
6210 | ||
6211 | E2fsck now only updates the master superblock in all cases. This | |
6212 | slightly shortens its run time. | |
6213 | ||
6214 | Ext2ed can deal with directory entries of length 0; previously it | |
6215 | would get stuck in an infinite loop. | |
6216 | ||
6217 | Fsck now has support for reiserfs volumes when parsing LABEL= and UUID= | |
6218 | specifiers. (Sourceforge patch #613447) | |
6219 | ||
6220 | Badblocks will now work correctly on read-only devices such as | |
6221 | CD-ROM's. (Sourceforge patch #600451) | |
6222 | ||
5d823a47 | 6223 | Updated and clarified man pages. (Addresses Debian bug #167108) |

6226 | E2fsprogs 1.29 (September 24, 2002) |
6227 | =================================== | |
6228 | ||
6229 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could corrupt a directory when optimizing | |
6230 | it (via the -D option) or rebuiliding the hash tree index with a 1 in | |
6231 | 512 probability, due to a fence post error. | |
6232 | ||
6233 | Fixed a bug in the LVM support code which caused LABEL='xxx' not to | |
6234 | work correctly. | |
6235 | ||
6236 | Mke2fs now enables the directory indexing flag by default. (Since | |
6237 | this is a compatible feature flag, it's safe to do so.) | |
6238 | ||
6239 | Tune2fs will support setting the directory indexing feature flag. It | |
6240 | will automatically set up the default hash algorithm and hash seed | |
6241 | fields in the superblock. | |
6242 | ||
6243 | If the bone-headed user enters the root filesystem twice in | |
6244 | /etc/fstab, the -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip | |
6245 | all of them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not a | |
6246 | precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind of doubled | |
6247 | entry in /etc/fstab! | |
6248 | ||
6249 | ||
6250 | Programmer's notes: | |
6251 | ------------------- | |
6252 | ||
6253 | Removed perror declaration in lib/et/internal.h. All modern systems | |
6254 | can be expected to define perror() these days. Besides, the lib/et | |
6255 | code wasn't using perror at all anyway. :-) | |
6256 | ||
6257 | ||
b7bad615 TT |
6258 | E2fsprogs 1.28 (August 31, 2002) |
6259 | ================================ | |
6260 | ||
6261 | Add support for the Hashed-Tree Directory Indexing to e2fsck. Support | |
6262 | for setting the htree flag is not included yet, although it can be | |
6263 | manually turned on via the debugfs program. | |
6264 | ||
6265 | Clarified e2fsck error message which is printed when it cannot find | |
6266 | sufficient contiguous block when relcating filesystem metadata. | |
6267 | ||
6268 | Added support for building an EVMS plugin module for ext2/3. This | |
6269 | module is substantially the same as the EVMS module shipping with EVMS | |
6270 | 1.1, with one or two bugfixes. E2fsprogs can also build this plugin | |
6271 | for use with EVMS 1.0 (which did not include the ext2 plugin module), | |
6272 | if the configure --enable-old-evms flag is given. | |
6273 | ||
6274 | Fsck will search through EVMS volumes when trying to resolve | |
6275 | filesystem specifications such as LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx. | |
6276 | ||
6277 | Added a new utility program, /sbin/findfs, which will return | |
6278 | filesystem specifications such as LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx, and prints | |
6279 | the device name. | |
6280 | ||
6281 | Update and clarified various man pages. (addresses Debian Bug #145044, | |
6282 | #146437, #131350, #151990, #144621, #141938) | |
6283 | ||
6284 | If there are no filesystems specified on fsck's command line, fsck now | |
6285 | treat that as if the -As options were given. Previously it would | |
6286 | simply do nothing. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102) | |
6287 | ||
6288 | Mke2fs no longer treats a failure to be able to clear the MD signature | |
6289 | at the end of the filesystem as a fatal error. (Addresses Debian Bug | |
6290 | #155007) | |
6291 | ||
6292 | The e2p library functions (which are used by lsattr and chattr) now | |
6293 | double check to make sure the file is a regular file or directory | |
6294 | before attempting to use the ext2 ioctls. Some device drivers | |
6295 | unfortunately respond to the ext2 ioctl's with unknown behaviour. | |
6296 | (Addresses Debian Bug #152029). | |
6297 | ||
6298 | The extended attribute handling has been updated to correspond with | |
6299 | the latest V2 bestbits ACL code. | |
6300 | ||
6301 | Fixed bug in e2fsck which caused it to not clear the dtime field when | |
6302 | processing truncated inodes on the orphan list. This could cause data | |
6303 | loss(!) if a filesystem is rebooted before a truncate has been | |
6304 | committed. | |
6305 | ||
6306 | E2fsck now uses red/black trees in pass1b, which removes some O(n**2) | |
6307 | algorithms. This makes e2fsck much faster in the case of severely | |
6308 | corrupted filesystems where a large number of blocks are claimed by a | |
6309 | large number of inodes. (Thanks to the 2.5 IDE device driver for | |
6310 | inspiring this work.) | |
6311 | ||
6312 | Resize2fs has been significantly sped up when shrinking and expanding | |
6313 | a filesystem by a very small number of blocks (for example, when EVMS | |
6314 | is converting a partition to be an EVMS legacy volume). | |
6315 | ||
6316 | Added a new option to e2fsck, -D, which will optimize or compress all | |
6317 | of the directories in the filesystem. | |
6318 | ||
6319 | E2fsck now catches SIGINT and SIGTERM to make sure it will can | |
6320 | properly clean up and only exit at safe points. Fsck will pass | |
6321 | SIGINT/SIGTERM to its child processes, and wait until they have all | |
6322 | exited before it exits. | |
6323 | ||
6324 | The uuid parsing code in the uuid library now properly complains when | |
6325 | an illegally formated uuid is presented to it. (Addresses Debian bug | |
6326 | #152891) | |
6327 | ||
6328 | Restrict use of the 2.4 setrlimit ABI f*ckup to kernels between 2.4.10 | |
6329 | and 2.4.17, since the workaround can cause problems when using a 2.4 | |
6330 | kernel with an old version of glibc built with the 2.2 headers. | |
6331 | ||
6332 | Fixed a bug in mke2fs where it wasn't properly clearing the initial | |
6333 | superblock used by other filesystems. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.) | |
6334 | ||
6335 | Added support for the synchronous directory feature written by Andrew | |
6336 | Morton. | |
6337 | ||
6338 | The debugfs program can delete directories using the rmdir command. | |
6339 | ||
6340 | Add support for 8k and 16k filesystems (for systems with page sizes | |
6341 | that are greater or equal to 8k or 16k, respectively). Note that | |
6342 | these filesystems can not be mounted on x86 systems, or other systems | |
6343 | with only 4k page sizes, due to limitations in the current Linux VM | |
6344 | code. | |
6345 | ||
6346 | Resize2fs requires that the filesystem state be valid and have no | |
6347 | errors; otherwise, e2fsck -f must be run first. (Previously it simply | |
6348 | required that the last fsck time be greater than the last mount time.) | |
6349 | ||
6350 | Configure now defaults the man pages directory to /usr/share/man on | |
6351 | Linux systems. | |
6352 | ||
6353 | E2fsck now offers to truncate inodes which contain too many blocks (so | |
6354 | that i_blocks would overflow. Also fixed handling of large sparse | |
6355 | files. | |
6356 | ||
6357 | E2fsck now more completely checks for symlink validity, including | |
6358 | requiring NULL termination and length checks. | |
6359 | ||
6360 | E2fsck will offer to try forcing a disk write to remap a bad block | |
6361 | after finding a read error when reading a filesystem metadata block. | |
6362 | ||
6363 | Fixed a bug in debugfs which caused the -b and -s options to crash | |
6364 | debugfs, as well as breaking the testb, setb, and clearb functions. | |
6365 | ||
6366 | Added a bmap command to debugfs which calculates the logical to | |
6367 | physical block mapping for a particular inode. | |
6368 | ||
6369 | Fixed a bug in code which checked to see if a device was mounted which | |
6370 | sometimes (rarely) failed in the case of a plain file. | |
6371 | ||
6372 | Fixed a bug in resize2fs where when it reported an error, it would | |
6373 | print a message erroneously indicating that the filesystem had been | |
6374 | resized before it aborted. | |
6375 | ||
6376 | When resizing a plain file which is smaller than the requested size, | |
6377 | resize2fs will attempt to extended the file so that programs like | |
6378 | e2fsck will not complain that the file is too small. | |
6379 | ||
6380 | Resize2fs will print the actual new size of the filesystem when it is | |
6381 | finished resizing. | |
6382 | ||
6383 | Fixed a bug in debugfs where "ls -l" would report incorrectl file type | |
6384 | information on big-endian systems. | |
6385 | ||
6386 | ||
6387 | Programmer's notes: | |
6388 | ------------------- | |
6389 | ||
6390 | Fixed collisions with C++ reserved words. | |
6391 | ||
6392 | Added portability fixes for building e2fsprogs on the HURD and AIX. | |
6393 | ||
6394 | Added the ext2ed program for creation of test cases. (ext2ed has many | |
6395 | limitations and bugs which make it unsuitable for production use.) | |
6396 | ||
6397 | The ext2fs_read_dir_block2 and ext2fs_write_dir_block now take a new | |
6398 | flag, EXT2_DIRBLOCK_V2_STRUCT, which will will reverse when the | |
6399 | name_len field is byte swampped on big-endian machines, since in the | |
6400 | V2 structure, name_len is a char field which is doesn't need to be | |
6401 | byte swapped --- except if an old-style kernel had byte-swapped the | |
6402 | name_len field as part of the V1 structure. | |
6403 | ||

6405 | E2fsprogs 1.27 (March 8, 2002) |
6406 | ============================== | |
6407 | ||
6408 | The warning messages for mke2fs now go to standard error. | |
6409 | ||
6410 | Fixed to make sure "make check" runs all of the test programs with | |
6411 | LD_LIBRARY_PATH set, so that we test the libraries in the build tree. | |
6412 | ||
6413 | The mke2fs program checks the boot sector for the BSD disk label, and | |
6414 | avoids erasing it if it is there. | |
6415 | ||
6416 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused it to core dump if the journal | |
6417 | inode was missing when it was supposed to be there. | |
6418 | ||
6419 | E2fsck now prints ranges in pass 5 when printing deltas for the block | |
6420 | and inode bitmaps. | |
afa14ba0 TT |
6421 | |
6422 | Debugfs's "ls -l" command now will print out the file type information | |
6423 | in the directory entry. | |
6424 | ||
6425 | Create man pages and hard links for fsck.ext3 and mkfs.ext3. If | |
6426 | mke2fs is invoked as mkfs.ext3, create the filesystem with a journal. | |
6427 | ||
6428 | Debugfs can now examine the experimental directory indexing | |
6429 | information. | |
6430 | ||
a471ac52 TT |
6431 | Fixed bug in debugfs which caused it to core dump if modify_inode is |
6432 | called without an open filesystem. | |
6433 | ||
6434 | The debugfs lsdel command now runs its output through a pager first. | |
6435 | ||
afa14ba0 TT |
6436 | When installing manual pages, remove the compressed manual pages first. |
6437 | ||
6438 | Synchronized with Debian's packaging information for e2fsprogs-1.26-1. | |
6439 | ||
6440 | Fix the 2.4 resource limitation workaround introduced in 1.26 which | |
6441 | actually broke things on mips32, sparc32, and Alpha platforms. | |
6442 | ||
a471ac52 TT |
6443 | Updated the I18N code so that calls to setlocate(LC_CTYPE, 0) are made |
6444 | (which is required by the newer libintl libraries). | |
6445 | ||
afa14ba0 TT |
6446 | Programmer's notes: |

6448 | ||
a8e77249 TT |
6449 | Fixed various gcc -Wall complaints. |
6450 | ||
afa14ba0 TT |
6451 | Fixed a few memory leaks in the e2fsck journaling code, and in the |
6452 | ismounted code checking for a swap device. | |
6453 | ||
6454 | Add new inode I/O abstraction interface which exports an inode as | |
6455 | an I/O object. | |
6456 | ||
6457 | Exported ext2_file_flush as a public interface. | |
6458 | ||
6459 | In ext2_file_write, we now mark the buffer void * argument as a const, since ext2_file_write doesn't modify the buffer. | |
6460 | ||
6461 | Lots of small random portability fixes to make e2fsprogs build under | |
6462 | AIX --- even without the 5L compatibility toolkit, and even using the | |
6463 | uber-crippled AIX native C compiler. | |

a5f3f5c1 | 6467 | ================================= |

6469 | Dumpe2fs will keep going now if the bad block inode can't be read. |
6470 | (Previously it stopped with a fatal error.) | |
6471 | ||
6472 | E2fsck will now give an opportunity to run the journal even if the | |
6473 | recovery flag is not set. This is the default behaviour if e2fsck is | |
6474 | using a backup superblock, since the needs_recovery flag will never be | |
6475 | set in the backup superblock copies. | |
6476 | ||
6477 | E2fsck now automatically finds the backup superblock/group descriptors | |
6478 | even when the primary superblock is completely destroyed for 2k and 4k | |
6479 | filesystems. (Previously it just guessed/assumed that we were dealing | |
6480 | with a 1k filesystem in that case, and users had to manually specify | |
6481 | the backup superblock number.) | |
6482 | ||
6483 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck where it dereferences a null pointer when there | |
6484 | is a problem opening a filesystem in preen mode. | |
6485 | ||
6486 | E2fsck now handles external journals correctly; previously it trashed | |
6487 | the external journal device if the journal needed to be replayed. | |
6488 | ||
6489 | Work around ulimit incompatibility problem caused by recent 2.4 | |
6490 | kernels; the unix IO module will automatically try to set any resource | |
6491 | limits to be infinite on startup. | |
6492 | ||
cd1a79a5 TT |
6493 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck where it wasn't allocating a new block or inode |
6494 | bitmap if it wasn't present and the blocksize was 2k or 4k. | |
9c7ec178 | 6495 | (Addresses Debian Bug #116975) |
cd1a79a5 TT |
6496 | |
6497 | E2fsck will check and fix botched ext3 V1 to V2 superblock updates by | |
6498 | clearing the new V2 fields if they do not make sense or if the ext3 | |
6499 | superblock is version 1 superblock. | |
6500 | ||
6501 | E2fsck will automatically relocate the ext3 journal from a visible | |
6502 | file (i.e., /.journal) to an hidden inode if the filesystem has been | |
6503 | opened read/write. This allows the users to add a journal while the | |
6504 | filesystem is mounted, but the next time the system is rebooted, the | |
6505 | journal file will disappear. This avoids problems with backups, | |
6506 | stupid operators with superuser bits, etc. | |
6507 | ||
6508 | Fix a bug in fsck where it would not support a filesystem type of | |
6509 | "auto" if the device was specified in terms of LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx. | |
6510 | ||
a5f3f5c1 TT |
6511 | Fsck now supports fstab entries of the form "ext3,ext2". It will also |
6512 | automatically identify reiserfs filesystems. | |
6513 | ||
6514 | The number of processes spawned by fsck can now be limited using the | |
6515 | FSCK_MAX_INST environment variable. | |
6516 | ||
446314fc TT |
6517 | Fsck now searchs the LVM proc hierarchy to find logical volumes which |
6518 | should be searched for UUID and label information. | |
6519 | ||
cd1a79a5 TT |
6520 | Work around a bug in 2.4.10+ kernels by trying to unset the filesize |
6521 | limit if at all possible, when opening a block device. (The filesize | |
6522 | limit shouldn't be applied against writes to a block device.) | |
6523 | ||
446314fc TT |
6524 | In mke2fs and e2fsck, specifying the -c option twice will now do |
6525 | a read/write test on the disk. Update the man pages to encourage | |
6526 | using the -c option, and to discouraging running badblocks separately, | |
6527 | since users tend to forget to set the blocksize when running | |
6528 | badblocks. | |
6529 | ||
cd1a79a5 TT |
6530 | Mke2fs now automatically clears the immutable attribute on a |
6531 | pre-existing .journal file left over from a previous failed attempt to | |
6532 | add a journal to an alreadyy-mounted filesystem. | |
6533 | ||
6534 | Fixed mke2fs's exit codes to consistently indicate when the mke2fs | |
6535 | operation failed. | |
6536 | ||
446314fc TT |
6537 | Mke2fs now creates the lost+found directory with permissions of 0700, |
6538 | so that files that had previously lived in protected directory are | |
6539 | safe if they get dropped in lost+found and the system administrator | |
6540 | doesn't deal with immediately. (Addresses Debian #bug 118443) | |
6541 | ||
6542 | Mke2fs and e2fsck (and all programs that use the | |
6543 | ext2fs_check_if_mounted function) will now properly identify that a | |
6544 | device is mounted, even in cases where devfs has confused things with | |
6545 | multiple devices names with the same identity, or if a dim-witted | |
6546 | system administrator has done something stupid like creating device | |
6547 | file aliases in their home directory. Also now checks for swap devices | |
6548 | by using /proc/swaps. (Addresses Debian bug #106622) | |
6549 | ||
a5f3f5c1 TT |
6550 | Added a new option (-T) to tune2fs which sets the time a filesystem |
6551 | was last checked. | |
6552 | ||
cd1a79a5 TT |
6553 | Speed up e2image when creating sparse raw image files by optimizing |
6554 | away excess lseek() system calls. | |
6555 | ||
6556 | Fix support of large (> 2GB) files when used as a filesystem in | |
6557 | mke2fs, tune2fs, debugfs, and findsuper. | |
6558 | ||
6559 | Debugfs's stat and icheck commands now properly deals with large (> | |
6560 | 2GB) files. | |
6561 | ||
6562 | Debugfs's set_super_value command now prints out the list of valid | |
6563 | superblock fields which can be set using the command. | |
6564 | ||
446314fc TT |
6565 | Debugfs's rm and kill_file command now updates the superblock free block |
6566 | and inode counts, thus keeping the filesystem consistent. | |
6567 | ||
a5f3f5c1 TT |
6568 | Debugfs's lsdel command now takes an optional argument which allows |
6569 | the user to only see the most recently deleted files. | |
6570 | ||
6571 | A new command (undel) was added to debugfs which automates | |
6572 | undeleting a deleted inode and linking it back to a directory. | |
6573 | ||
6574 | Debugfs's ls command now takes a new option, -d, which lists | |
6575 | deleted directory entries. | |
6576 | ||
6577 | Debugfs's testb, freeb, setb, and find_free_block commands now take an | |
6578 | optional count argument. | |
6579 | ||
cd1a79a5 TT |
6580 | Add support for a new ext2 file attribute, EXT2_NOTAIL_FL, which will |
6581 | be used to signal that a particular inode should not be eligible for | |
6582 | tail-merging --- this is needed for programs like LILO. | |
6583 | ||
6584 | The findsuper (an unreleased, uninstalled utility program) has been | |
6585 | improved to add extra validity checks and to add a progress meter. | |
6586 | (It is still an unsupported program; the officially supported way to | |
6587 | recover from a trashed partition table is to use gpart; findsuper is | |
6588 | for wizards only. :-) | |
6589 | ||
6590 | Debugfs was fixed to compile with "configure --disable-swapfs". | |
6591 | ||
446314fc | 6592 | Cleaned up various manual pages. (Addresses Debian bug #119624, #120171) |
cd1a79a5 TT |
6593 | |
6594 | Added new translation file for Turkish. | |
6595 | ||
446314fc TT |
6596 | Programmer's notes: |
6597 | ------------------- | |
6598 | ||
6599 | Fix general gcc -Wall complaints. | |
6600 | ||
6601 | E2fsprogs (mostly) works with the dietlibc. | |
6602 | ||
6603 | The programming texinfo file has been expanded to include description | |
6604 | of additional libext2fs functions. (Still not compeltely done, but a | |
6605 | lot of the more important functions have been documented.) | |
6606 | ||
6607 | Added a umask structure to struct_ext2_filsys, which currently only | |
6608 | modifies the behaviour of ext2fs_mkdir(), but if we add any file | |
6609 | creation functions to libext2fs, we should also make sure they respect | |
6610 | the umask setting. | |
6611 | ||
a5f3f5c1 TT |
6612 | The build-rpm script was fixed to be a bit more safe. |
6613 | ||
6614 | The tests' Makefile now has a way of automating test case creation | |
6615 | for e2fsck, using "make testnew". | |
6616 | ||
6617 | Created a new function, ext2fs_dir_iterate2 which passes more | |
6618 | information to the callback function (identical to the one used by | |
6619 | ext2fs_dblist_dir_iterate). The directory iterator functions take a | |
6620 | new flag, DIRENT_FLAG_INCLUDE_REMOVED, which will return deleted | |
6621 | directory entries. If the directory entry is deleted, the callback | |
6622 | function will be called with the entry paraemter set to | |
6623 | DIRENT_DELETED_FILE. | |
6624 | ||
6625 | Added new functions, ext2fs_inode_alloc_stats and | |
6626 | ext2fs_block_alloc_stats, which takes updates block/inode allocation | |
6627 | statistics in the bitmaps, block group descriptors, and superblock | |
6628 | when inodes or blocks are allocated or deallocated. | |
6629 | ||

6631 | E2fsprogs 1.25 (September 20, 2001) |
6632 | =================================== | |
6633 | ||
6634 | This is primarily a bug-fix release; no new features were added, but | |
6635 | there are a number of embarassing bug fixes and cleanups applied. | |
6636 | ||
6637 | Fix a bug mke2fs which causes stack garbage to be written to disk when | |
6638 | zapping disk sectors. (This bug could cause mke2fs to core dump for | |
6639 | some kernels, I suspect with security enhancement patches.) | |
6640 | ||
6641 | Remove unneeded #include of <linux/config.h> which was breaking | |
6642 | building e2fsprogs on the Hurd. (Addresses Debian bug #112414.) | |
6643 | ||
6644 | Updated tune2fs man page to reflect the fact that adding or removing a | |
6645 | journal doesn't require running e2fsck. | |
6646 | ||
6647 | Remove use of AC_REQUIRE from autoconf which had been used to prevent | |
6648 | AC_CANONICAL_HOST from being called twice; unfortunately this causes | |
6649 | recent autoconf to bomb out since they don't allow AC_REQUIRE to be | |
6650 | used outside of autoconf macros. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be | |
6651 | necessary any more, anyway. | |
6652 | ||
6653 | E2fsck will now not fall back to an alternate superblock if the user | |
6654 | specifies the superblock location explicitly on the command-line. | |
6655 | This allows easier recovery from a situation where the primary | |
6656 | superblock and block groups are slightly corrupted, but the backup | |
6657 | superblocks are completely broken. | |
6658 | ||
6659 | Fix problem which caused compile_et and mk_cmds to blow up if | |
6660 | e2fsprogs was in a directory with a pathname that contained spaces. | |
6661 | ||
6662 | We are now more paranoid about checking the entry in /etc/mtab to make | |
6663 | sure the filesystem is really mounted, since some broken distributions | |
6664 | (read: Slackware) don't initialize /etc/mtab before checking non-root | |
6665 | filesystems. (Slackware also doesn't check the root filesystem | |
6666 | separately, and reboot if the root filesystem had changes applied to | |
6667 | it, which is dangerous and broken, but there's nothing I can do about | |
6668 | that.) | |
6669 | ||
6670 | Make UUID library C++ friendly by adding appropriate extern "C" | |
6671 | declarations and using const in the function declarations. | |
6672 | ||
6673 | Fix up the com_err texinfo file so that it can product a valid info | |
6674 | file (previously, it could only be used to generate paper | |
6675 | documentation using texinfo.tex). | |
6676 | ||
6677 | ||
fb70775b TT |
6678 | E2fsprogs 1.24a (September 2, 2001) |
6679 | =================================== | |
6680 | ||
6681 | Fix brown-paper bug in mke2fs which caused it to segfault when | |
6682 | printing the version string. | |
6683 | ||
6684 | ||
109624a1 TT |
6685 | E2fsprogs 1.24 (August 30, 2001) |
6686 | ================================ | |
6687 | ||
6688 | Revert the BLKGETSIZE64 support, since for some distributions, this | |
6689 | ioctl has been used by an unofficial kernel patch to update the last | |
6690 | sector on the disk, and this was causing disk corruption problems as a | |
6691 | result. | |
6692 | ||
6693 | Mke2fs is now more careful about zapping swap space signatures and | |
6694 | other filesystem/raid superblock magic values so that programs like | |
6695 | mount who try to use hueristics to determine the filesystem type of a | |
6696 | partition are less likely to be confused. | |
6697 | ||
6698 | E2fsck will no longer complain if the the mode of EXT2_RESIZE_INO is a | |
6699 | regular file (since Andreas Dilger's on-line resizing tools will set | |
6700 | its mode bits). | |
6701 | ||
6702 | Fixed some minor texinfo, man pages nits for spelling errors, | |
6703 | texinfo warnings, etc. (Addresses Debian bug #110621.) | |
6704 | ||
6705 | E2fsprogs program no longer print the filesystem version number | |
6706 | (i.e. 0.5b), since it only confuses people and doesn't serve any real | |
6707 | purpose. | |
6708 | ||
6709 | E2fsck will once again compile under libc5, since it will supply its | |
6710 | own version of strnlen if necesssary. | |
6711 | ||
6712 | mke2fs and tune2fs will allow the use of UUID= or LABEL= specifiers | |
6713 | when specifying the external journal device. tune2fs will also search | |
6714 | devices looking for the externla journal debice when removing. | |
6715 | ||
6716 | E2fsprogs 1.23 (August 15, 2001) | |
6717 | ================================ | |
d1ef5c34 TT |
6718 | |
6719 | Add initial support for extended attributes (EA); e2fsck will | |
6c0a0417 TT |
6720 | correctly handle a filesystem with EA's and check the EA blocks for |
6721 | corruptions. | |
6722 | ||
d494bba8 TT |
6723 | E2fsck's symlink sanity checking has been cleaned up. It now checks |
6724 | the i_size value of fast symlinks, and checks for immutable flags | |
6725 | being set of symlinks, etc. | |
6726 | ||
c4ac9e14 TT |
6727 | E2fsck now offers to clear inodes which are special files that have a |
6728 | non-zero i_blocks or i_size field. (The i_size field check was in the | |
6729 | previous version of the code, but due to a bug it didn't offer to | |
6730 | clear the inode unless i_size and i_size_high were both non-zero.) | |
6731 | ||
d494bba8 TT |
6732 | E2image can now create "raw" image files, which only contain the |
6733 | filesystem metadata placed in a spare file so that e2fsck, dumpe2fs, | |
6734 | debugfs, etc., can be run directly on the raw image file. | |
bf16d106 TT |
6735 | |
6736 | Add support for the 64-bit block device patches. | |
6737 | ||
6738 | Fixed bugs in creating external journals with a 1k blocksize. | |
6739 | ||
d494bba8 TT |
6740 | Add initial support for external journals (so long as the external |
6741 | journal only supports a single filesystem) in e2fsck. | |
6742 | ||
6743 | Remove requirement for needing to run fsck on a filesystem after | |
6744 | removing a journal (either internal or external). | |
6745 | ||
bf16d106 | 6746 | The man pages now document how to create and manage external journals. |
d1ef5c34 TT |
6747 | |
6748 | Speed up the check of an ext3 filesystems by avoiding a needless flush | |
6749 | of all of the superblock and block group descriptors. | |
6750 | ||
d494bba8 TT |
6751 | Speed up creating an internal journal using tune2fs in the case where |
6752 | the filesystem has a lot blocks already allocated. | |
6753 | ||
c4ac9e14 TT |
6754 | Tune2fs has been fixed to make sure that only error messages go to |
6755 | stderr, and normal message go to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug #108555) | |
6756 | ||
d494bba8 | 6757 | Fixed a minor bug in mke2fs; if -O none is passed to mke2fs, it will |
c4ac9e14 | 6758 | now not set the sparse_super feature. (Addresses Debian bug #108165) |
d494bba8 | 6759 | |
d1ef5c34 TT |
6760 | Add support in fsck for the filesystem type "auto". |
6761 | ||
c4ac9e14 TT |
6762 | Fsck -A will not try to interpret device names for filesystems which |
6763 | have a pass number is 0. (Addresses Debian bug #106696). | |
6764 | ||
6765 | Fsck prints a warning message if now valid filesystems are passed to | |
6766 | it. (Addresses Debian Bug #107458.) | |
6767 | ||
9249d980 TT |
6768 | E2fsck now gives an explicit warning if there filesystem still has |
6769 | errors at the end of the run. (Addresses Debian bug #104502) | |
6770 | ||
d494bba8 | 6771 | E2fsck will set the EXT2_ERROR_FS flag if the journal superblock |
c4ac9e14 TT |
6772 | reflects an error. E2fsck will also not run the orphan list if the |
6773 | filesystem contains errors, since the orphan list might be corrupted. | |
d494bba8 TT |
6774 | |
6775 | E2fsck now prints the number of large files when given the -v option. | |
6776 | ||
6777 | Fixed minor memory leaks in e2fsck. | |
bf16d106 | 6778 | |
c4ac9e14 | 6779 | Some minor man pages updates. (Addresses Debian bug #30833, #108174) |
9249d980 | 6780 | |
d1ef5c34 | 6781 | |
19d6b54b TT |
6782 | E2fsprogs 1.22 (June 22, 2001) |
6783 | ============================== | |
6784 | ||
6785 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck's handling of orphan inodes which are special | |
6786 | files (i.e., block/character device files, named FIFO's, etc.). | |
6787 | ||
6788 | Fixed a bug accidentally introduced in e2fsprogs 1.21 which caused | |
6789 | tune2fs to fail at adding a journal to a mounted filesystem. | |
6790 | ||
6791 | Fixed a few big-endian bugs in e2fsprogs | |
6792 | * The directory block functions were accidentally reporting | |
6793 | some directories as corrupted when they weren't. | |
6794 | * If e2fsprogs is compiled --disable-swapfs, the C language | |
6795 | equivalents weren't being included for big-endian platforms. | |
6796 | (Fixes Debian bug #101686). | |
6797 | ||
6798 | Fixed a Hurd compilation problem. (Addresses Debian bug #101361) | |
6799 | ||
6800 | Programmer's notes: | |
6801 | ------------------- | |
6802 | ||
6803 | Use platform independent method of defining the BLKFLSBUF and FDFLUSH | |
6804 | ioctls, and allow them to be defined for non-i386 platforms. | |
6805 | ||
6806 | The uuid.h header file is now protected against multiple inclusions. | |
6807 | ||
6808 | E2fsprogs is now being developed using BitKeeper. Changed the test | |
6809 | scripts to deal with BK's stripping CR characgters from text files, | |
6810 | and changed the top-level Makefile.in to avoid including BitKeeper | |
6811 | files when generating the source tarball. | |
6812 | ||
6813 | ||
b90b826b TT |
6814 | E2fsprogs 1.21 (June 15, 2001) |
6815 | ============================== | |
6816 | ||
6817 | Added new configure flags which allow a subset e2fsprogs to be built; | |
6818 | this is most useful for boot floopies, since the resulting shared | |
6819 | libraries and programs are slimmed down by removing features that | |
6820 | aren't necessary for a boot floppy. The new flags that were added | |
6821 | are: --disable-swapfs, which removes support for byte swapping old | |
6822 | legacy PPC/68k filesystems, --disable-debugfs, which removes support | |
6823 | for debugfs from the libext2fs library, --disable-imager, which | |
6824 | removes support for the e2image program, and --disable-resizer, which | |
6825 | removes support for resize2fs. | |
6826 | ||
6827 | E2fsck now prints the number of mounts or days elapsed since the last | |
6828 | check when e2fsck is forced to check an otherwise clean filesystem. | |
6829 | ||
6830 | Tune2fs now prints an informative message about how often a filesystem | |
6831 | will be checked when adding a journal to the filesystem, to remind the | |
6832 | user that he/she may want to adjust those parameters using tune2fs | |
6833 | -c/-i. | |
6834 | ||
6835 | Worked around hurd brain-damage which causes e2fsck to sometimes | |
6836 | believe a filesystem is the root filesystem based on device numbers | |
6837 | (since Hurd doesn't have dev_t's, which is arguably a POSIX.1 | |
6838 | violation). | |
6839 | ||
6840 | Fixed a bug introduced in 1.20 which caused e2fsck to abort with an | |
6841 | erroneous error with the -F option was specified. | |
6842 | ||
6843 | Fixed a ext3 recovery bug in the revoke handling; synchronized with | |
c05b5521 TT |
6844 | ext3 0.7a. |
6845 | ||
767de097 TT |
6846 | Fixed two bugs in e2fsck's handling of dup block handling, dealing |
6847 | with relatively uncommon edge cases: a directory with an indirect | |
6848 | block which is claimed by another file, and when the last inode in the | |
6849 | filesystem has blocks claimed by another file. | |
6850 | ||
5a9c036b TT |
6851 | E2fsck now checks to see if the i_size field of a fast symlink is too |
6852 | big, and offers to clear the symlink if so. | |
6853 | ||
6854 | E2fsck now checks to see if i_size_high of special files is non-zero, | |
6855 | and offers to clear i_size_high. | |
6856 | ||
767de097 TT |
6857 | Fix e2fsck's handling of incompatible journal flags so that the user |
6858 | has chance to abort, and then has the option to clear out the journal | |
e333845b | 6859 | entirely. (Addresses Debian bug #98527.) |
767de097 | 6860 | |
b90b826b TT |
6861 | Fixed a bug in fsck which could cause it to core dump if a mix of |
6862 | standard and non-standard device names are used in /etc/fstab. | |
6863 | (Debian bug #100559) | |
6864 | ||
c05b5521 TT |
6865 | Fixed a bug in debugfs which caused read errors when copying a file to |
6866 | not be noticed. | |
6867 | ||
b90b826b TT |
6868 | The debugfs set_super_value command can now modify the s_lastcheck field. |
6869 | ||
c05b5521 TT |
6870 | Fixed a bug in lsattr and chattr which was accidentally introduced in |
6871 | 1.20 to support > 2GB files; both lsattr and chattr wasn't reading | |
6872 | directories correctly because the change modified the layout of struct | |
6873 | dirent to be incompatible with the libe2p shared library. | |
6874 | ||
b90b826b TT |
6875 | Cleaned up the mke2fs manual page and included a discussion about why |
6876 | it's good to periodically check the filesystem even when journaling is | |
6877 | enabled. | |
6878 | ||
767de097 TT |
6879 | Programmer's notes: |
6880 | ------------------- | |
6881 | ||
6882 | Fix general gcc -Wall complaints. | |
6883 | ||
6884 | The types needed by the ext2 header files are now provided by | |
6885 | lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h, instead of include/asm/types.h. | |
6886 | ||
c05b5521 | 6887 | Integers are now preferred to longs when trying to find a 32-bit type |
b90b826b TT |
6888 | in ext2_types.h. Also, if linux/types.h has already been defined, |
6889 | don't try to redefine the types. | |
c05b5521 | 6890 | |
767de097 TT |
6891 | Fixed make depend script so that it automatically corrects the |
6892 | pathname cleanups performed by make -M, so I don't have to fix them up | |
6893 | by hand. | |
6894 | ||
6895 | Fixed the d_loaddump test case to be more robust, and not depend on | |
6896 | bash'isms. | |
6897 | ||
6898 | Removed debugfs's dependence on pread(), which was accidentally | |
6899 | intrudced in e2fsprogs 1.20 | |
6900 | ||
c05b5521 TT |
6901 | Fixed a performance bug in the libext2fs's icount routine; the size |
6902 | estimate of the icount array was incorrectly being calculated. | |
6903 | ||
b90b826b TT |
6904 | Removed use of the badblocks compatibility functions in the e2fsprogs |
6905 | programs. | |
6906 | ||
6907 | Added paranoia code which protects against strange cases where /etc | |
6908 | isn't on the root filesystem, or if /etc/mtab doesn't exist. | |
6909 | ||
6910 | The header file ext2_types.h is now installed. | |
6911 | ||
6912 | Autoconf is used to determine when we are on big-endian machines, | |
6913 | instead of doing run-time tests, to save a few bytes of code. | |
6914 | ||
6915 | The ext2fs_mark_generic_bitmap and ext2fs_unmark_generic_bitmap | |
6916 | functions are no longer inline functions, which saves space and | |
6917 | doesn't really cost any real performance. | |
6918 | ||
6919 | The ext2fs library no longer depends on the e2p library. (What need | |
6920 | there was of it --- namely, fsetflags, was coded in-line). | |
6921 | ||
6922 | Fixed the makefile so that lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h is generated even | |
6923 | when the user is stupid and tries compiling the package using "make | |
6924 | install" as root. | |
6925 | ||
6926 | Miscellaneous code cleanups: | |
6927 | * Added missing files from Makefile.in's SRCS file, so that | |
6928 | their dependencies would be properly calculated. | |
6929 | * Removed redundant code | |
6930 | * Fixed comments in code | |
6931 | * Removed no-longer unneeded argsused #pragma. | |
c05b5521 | 6932 | |

5a009bb9 | 6934 | E2fsprogs 1.20 (May 20, 2001) |
31d1d0c8 | 6935 | ============================= |
5570a65a | 6936 | |
31d1d0c8 TT |
6937 | Add support for replaying the ext3 journal purely in user mode, |
6938 | including handling the orphaned inode list. Used code contributed by | |
6939 | Andreas Dilger, with bug fixes and the orphaned inode handling done | |
6940 | by Theodore Ts'o. | |
6941 | ||
6942 | The mke2fs and tune2fs programs can create or modify a filesystem to | |
6943 | include an ext3 journal. Tune2fs also can be used to remove an ext3 | |
6944 | journal from a filesystem. | |
5570a65a TT |
6945 | |
6946 | E2fsck will now check for the existence of a linked list of orphan | |
6947 | inodes in the superblock, and clear those inodes before starting the | |
6948 | rest of the filesystem check (but after the journal playback). | |
6949 | ||
31d1d0c8 TT |
6950 | E2fsck now validates the file descriptor passed to the -C option, |
6951 | which saves against the completion bar getting written to an | |
6952 | unexpected location, such as the disk being checked. (Debian | |
6953 | bug/wishlist #55220) | |
6954 | ||
6955 | E2fsck will now bump the filesystem revision number from zero to one | |
6956 | if any of the compatibility bits are set. | |
6957 | ||
6958 | Fixed a bug where a badly corrupted directory on a big endian system | |
6959 | could cause e2fsck to die with a bus error. The | |
6960 | ext2fs_read_dir_block() and ext2fs_process_dir_block() functions in | |
6961 | the ext2 library now does alignment sanity checks on the rec_len field | |
6962 | of the directory entry before using it. | |
6963 | ||
6964 | The ext2 library has been enhanced to make tune2fs safe to run on | |
6965 | mounted filesystems. (Users could usually get away with using tune2fs | |
6966 | on mounted filesystems before, but with the advent of ext3 and | |
6967 | journaling, it became important to make tune2fs was *really* safe for | |
6968 | use even when the filesystem being modified is mounted.) E2label is | |
6969 | now implemented by tune2fs using an argv[0] dispatch, so that e2label | |
6970 | is also now safe for use on mounted filesystems. | |
6971 | ||
6972 | Added a new program, e2image, which creates a backup of critical ext2 | |
6973 | filesystem data structures. The generated image file can be examined | |
6974 | using dumpe2fs and debugfs. In the future, e2fsck will be able to use | |
6975 | the image file to help recover very badly damaged filesystems. | |
6976 | ||
6977 | Fixed a number of LFS bugs in e2fsck; very, very large (> 2**42) files | |
6978 | no longer cause e2fsck to bomb out. Also treat files > 2GB as being | |
6979 | large file when deciding whether or not the filesystem has large files. | |
6980 | ||
6981 | Fixed lsattr and chattr so that they work correctly on large files. | |
6982 | (Fixes Debian bug #72690.) | |
6983 | ||
6984 | Removed limitation in get_device_size() which imposed a one terrabyte | |
6985 | filesystem limitation. (Most 2.2 kernels still have a signed int | |
6986 | problem which cause 1 TB block device limitation. Fortunately, the | |
6987 | kernel patches to fix this are much easier than fixing the 2TB | |
6988 | limitation in the kernel. :-) | |
6989 | ||
6990 | A max_mount_count of zero is now treated as if no mount count were | |
6991 | set. (Previously, no mount count was indicated by using -1, and a | |
6992 | mount count of zero caused e2fsck to always be run.) | |
6993 | ||
77648565 | 6994 | Mke2fs supports two new filesystem types largefile and largefile4. |
31d1d0c8 TT |
6995 | |
6996 | Mke2fs now adds some randomness in s_max_mount_count so that multiple | |
6997 | filesystems won't be all checked at the same time under normal | |
6998 | operations. | |
6999 | ||
5570a65a TT |
7000 | Fixed bug in the progress bar printing code which could cause e2fsck |
7001 | to core dump on an illegal filesystem. | |
7002 | ||
31d1d0c8 TT |
7003 | Fixed bug in fsck which could allow more than one instance of e2fsck |
7004 | to be printing a progress bar. (Debian bug #65267) | |
7005 | ||
5570a65a TT |
7006 | Fsck using a UUID or a LABEL specifier will work even if devfs is |
7007 | compiled into the kernel and not mounted. If the pathnames in | |
7008 | /proc/partitions are incorrect, fsck will search /dev for the correct | |
7009 | device (using the new ext2fs_find_block_device library function). | |
7010 | Fsck now also checks the RAID devices first so that they are properly | |
31d1d0c8 TT |
7011 | found when they are in use. Support has also been added to support |
7012 | additional IDE disks and the DAC 960 device names. (Debian bug #94159) | |
7013 | ||
7014 | Fixed a bug in fsck which caused it not deal properly with 16 | |
7015 | byte long filesystem labels. | |
5570a65a | 7016 | |
5a009bb9 TT |
7017 | Fsck's -t option has been made a lot more flexible. The semantics for |
7018 | what happens if a comma-separated list to fsck has been regularized, | |
7019 | and it is now possible to filter what filesystems will get checked | |
7020 | based what is in the filesystem's fstab entry's option field. (Debian | |
7021 | bug #89483.) | |
7022 | ||
5570a65a TT |
7023 | The dumpe2fs program can now print out the group description |
7024 | information in hex, and also prints the location of the superblock and | |
7025 | block group descriptor for those block groups that have them. | |
7026 | ||
7027 | Mke2fs now clears the ext2 superblock before it starts creating a | |
7028 | filesystem, so that the superblock magic number is only written if the | |
7029 | filesystem creation process successfully completes. | |
7030 | ||
7031 | The debugfs program's stat command now pretty-prints the blocks used | |
7032 | by an inode so that it's more compact and informative. | |
7033 | ||
7034 | The debugfs stats command now uses the same libe2p code (which is used | |
7035 | by dumpe2fs) to print the superblock header information. This is more | |
7036 | complete, and it avoids a bit of code duplication. | |
7037 | ||
7038 | Added a new debugfs command, set_super_value (ssv) which allows the | |
7039 | user to set arbitrary superblock fields. | |
7040 | ||
31d1d0c8 TT |
7041 | Debugfs was extended to support inode numbers in hex (by prefixing |
7042 | them with 0x), and so that modify_inode can set the inode generation | |
7043 | number. Also, there is now a new function command called logdump | |
7044 | which will dump an ext3 journal. | |
7045 | ||
7046 | Fixed a bug in debugfs so that quitting out of the pager doesn't kill | |
7047 | debugfs. | |
7048 | ||
7049 | Debugfs's dump command now stops immediately upon reporting a disk | |
7050 | read error. (Fixed a bug in ext2fs_file_read library routine which | |
7051 | caused debugfs not to stop.) (Debian bug #79163) | |
7052 | ||
7053 | On systems with /proc/mounts (mainly Linux systems), /proc/mounts is | |
7054 | checked before /etc/mtab is used, since /proc/mounts is more likely to | |
7055 | be accurate. | |
7056 | ||
7057 | Added portability fixes for Solaris and Linux/ia64. | |
7058 | ||
7059 | Various manual pages were clarified and cleaned up. (Fixed debian | |
7060 | bugs #63442, #67446, and #87216) | |
7061 | ||
5570a65a TT |
7062 | |
7063 | Programmer's notes: | |
7064 | ------------------- | |
7065 | ||
7066 | The e2fsck message printer now supports %Iu and %Ig, which will print | |
7067 | out the inode's user and group owners, respectively. | |
7068 | ||
31d1d0c8 TT |
7069 | E2fsprogs now includes its own version of include/linux/ext2_fs.h, so |
7070 | that no longer dependent on the system having the correct version of | |
7071 | the kernel header files. | |
7072 | ||
5570a65a TT |
7073 | Added a new function to libext2, ext2fs_find_block_device(), which |
7074 | searches the system (i.e., /dev, /devfs, /devices) for a pathname to a | |
7075 | device given its device number. | |
7076 | ||
31d1d0c8 TT |
7077 | Added a new function to libext2, ext2fs_sync_device, which centralizes |
7078 | all of the places which might try to use the BLKFLSBUF or FDFLUSH | |
7079 | ioctls (and usually failing to define them since the system header | |
7080 | files don't usually do this for us, and we're trying to avoid usage of | |
7081 | kernel include files now). | |
7082 | ||
5570a65a TT |
7083 | Added new utility programs in tests/progs: random_exercise and |
7084 | hold_inode. They aren't built by default; they're useful for | |
7085 | exercising ext3 filesystem code. | |
7086 | ||
31d1d0c8 TT |
7087 | Added a new ext2 filesystem flag, EXT2_FLAG_SUPER_ONLY, which causes |
7088 | the filesystem close functions to only update the superblock, and to | |
7089 | not touch the block group descriptors. Needed by tune2fs when | |
7090 | modifying a mounted filesystem. | |
7091 | ||
7092 | Got rid of struct ext2fs_sb and replaced it with the standard struct | |
7093 | ext2_super_block from include/linux/ext2_fs.h. Note: this may break | |
7094 | source (but not binary) compatibility of some users of the ext2 | |
7095 | library. Those applications should just simply do a global search and | |
7d614e3d TT |
7096 | replace of struct ext2fs_sb with struct ext2_super_block, and include |
7097 | the new header file <ext2fs/ext2_fs.h> which defines it. | |
31d1d0c8 TT |
7098 | |
7099 | The ino_t type has been renamed ext2_ino_t to protect applications | |
7100 | that attempt to compile -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, since this | |
7101 | inexplicably changes ino_t(!?). So we use ext2_ino_t to avoid an | |
7102 | unexpected ABI change. | |
7103 | ||
7104 | The Makefiles have been reworked so that "make check" can be run from | |
7105 | the top-level Makefile. | |
7106 | ||
7107 | Fix general gcc -Wall complaints and removed dead code. | |
7108 | ||
7109 | Remove use of NOARGS, because we assume everyone does ANSI C these | |
7110 | days. | |
7111 | ||
7112 | Added build-rpm script from sct. | |
7113 | ||
7114 | New functions ext2fs_image_{inode,super,bitmap}_{read,write} added | |
7115 | to support e2image. | |
7116 | ||
7117 | New function ext2fs_flush_icache which must be called if the | |
7118 | application program modifies the inode table blocks without going | |
7119 | through ext2fs_write_inode() interface. | |
7120 | ||
7121 | New ext2fs_check_mount_point() function, which will return the mount | |
7122 | point of a device if mounted. | |
7123 | ||
7124 | The io_channel abstraction now has an optional interface, | |
7125 | io_channel_write_range, which allows specific byte ranges to be | |
7126 | written. | |
7127 | ||
7128 | The unix_io IO channel now supports write-through caching, so that | |
7129 | journal creation is more efficient. | |
7130 | ||
7131 | Added x86 assembly language routines to support byte swapping, to | |
7132 | reduce executable size. | |
7133 | ||
7134 | Fixed bug in the utility program subst so that it's possible to | |
7135 | replace a substitution variable with a zero-length string. | |
7136 | ||
7137 | Fixed numbering e2fsck pass1 problem numbers; an extra zero had | |
7138 | slipped into some of the problem number. | |
5570a65a | 7139 | |
b777e26e TT |
7140 | E2fsprogs 1.19 (July 13, 2000) |
7141 | ============================== | |
ab146766 TT |
7142 | |
7143 | Release the resize2fs program since the timeout before it could | |
006ea71e | 7144 | be released under the GPL has finally expired. |
ab146766 TT |
7145 | |
7146 | Add experimental support needed for the ext2 compression patches. | |
7147 | This requires compiling e2fsprogs with the --enable-compression flag | |
7148 | to the configure script. | |
7149 | ||
7150 | Added ext3 journalling support. E2fsck will run the journal (if | |
7151 | necessary) by temporarily mounting the filesystem. /sbin/fsck.ext3 is | |
7152 | installed as a symlink to e2fsck. Fsck has been taught about ext3, | |
7153 | and treats it the same as ext2 in terms of the progress bar logic. | |
7154 | Dumpe2fs will display the superblock journaling information if the | |
7155 | filesystem has a journal. The ext2 library will now permit opening an | |
7156 | ext3 filesystem with the recovery flag set. This is necessary for | |
7157 | on-line dump's to work correctly, but there may be issues with this | |
7158 | working well since ext3 is much less agressive about syncing blocks to | |
7159 | the filesystem, since they're safe on the journal. | |
7160 | ||
7161 | Tune2fs and e2fsck have been changed to allow the mount_count check to | |
7162 | be disabled by setting max_mount_count to -1. (This was already | |
7163 | supported by the kernel.) | |
7164 | ||
7165 | Create a symbolic link for fsck.ext3, since the e2fsprogs utilities | |
7166 | are used for ext3 as well. | |
7167 | ||
7168 | Added internationalization support for e2fsprogs; must be enabled | |
7169 | by passing --enable-nls to configure. | |
7170 | ||
7171 | Always use the provided ext2fs header files to insulate ourselves from | |
7172 | kernel version changes. Which include files are used by e2fsprogs | |
7173 | have also been cleaned up to improve portability. | |
7174 | ||
7175 | Limit the number of times that e2fsck updates the progress bar so that | |
7176 | people who are booting using a 9600 baud console don't get swampped by | |
7177 | too many updates. | |
7178 | ||
7179 | Improved the loop detection algorithm in e2sck's pass #3 so that it is | |
7180 | much, much faster for large filesystems with a large number of | |
7181 | directories. | |
7182 | ||
7183 | The memory footprint for e2fsck is now slightly smaller than before. | |
7184 | ||
7185 | E2fsck now checks if special devices have a non-zero size, and offers | |
7186 | to clear the size field if it finds such an inode. | |
7187 | ||
7188 | E2fsck now checks if special devices have the append-only flag set, | |
7189 | and offers to clear the inode. | |
7190 | ||
7191 | E2fsck now properly handles some "should never fail" cases during a | |
7192 | bitmap copy in pass5. | |
7193 | ||
7194 | E2fsck now properly prints control characters in filenames as ^A .. ^Z. | |
7195 | ||
31d1d0c8 TT |
7196 | E2fsck now calculates the correct location of the backup superblock in |
7197 | the case of filesystem blocksizes > 1k. | |
7198 | ||
7199 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck's calculation of the number of inodes_per_block | |
7200 | which normally didn't cause problems under most filesystem parameters, | |
7201 | but could cause a valid superblock to be rejected in extreme cases. | |
7202 | Other checks for validating superblock values were made more | |
7203 | stringent. | |
7204 | ||
ab146766 TT |
7205 | Added non-destructive write testing to the badblocks program, courtesy |
7206 | of David Beattie. The badblocks also now has an option to input the | |
7207 | current set of bad blocks, so that known bad blocks are skipped to | |
7208 | speed up the badblocks test. There is also a persistent rescan | |
006ea71e TT |
7209 | feature which causes badblocks to run until it has completed some |
7210 | number of passes without discovering any new bad blocks. | |
ab146766 TT |
7211 | |
7212 | Badblocks now checks to see if the device is mounted and refuses to do | |
7213 | the tests involving writing to the device if it is mounted. Also, | |
7214 | badblocks now allows the number of blocks to be checked to be | |
7215 | defaulted to the size of the partition. | |
7216 | ||
7217 | Fixed a bug in fsck which didn't allow non-root users to be able to | |
7218 | check filesystems if there were any LABEL= or UUID= entries in | |
7219 | /etc/fstab. | |
7220 | ||
7221 | The Hurd doesn't support the filetype filesystem feature. The mke2fs | |
7222 | program now makes sure that for the Hurd, the filestype feature is | |
7223 | turned off. E2fsck will check to see if the filetype feature is | |
7224 | turned on for Hurd filesystems, and offer to turn off the feature. | |
7225 | ||
7226 | Mke2fs now has a safety check to make sure the number of blocks do not | |
7227 | exceed 32 bits even on a 64 bit platform. | |
7228 | ||
7229 | Really fixed a bug in fsck to allow "fsck -As" to run interactive | |
7230 | fsck's. (For those people who like to do interactive fsck's in the | |
7231 | /etc/rc scripts!?!) | |
7232 | ||
7233 | Debugfs has a few new features: the rdump command, which will do a | |
7234 | recursive dump of a directory and all of its contents, and the lcd | |
7235 | command which does a local chdir (much like the ftp command of the | |
7236 | same name). In addition, the debugfs program and the open_filesystem | |
7237 | command now takes three new options: -b and -s, which allows the | |
7238 | blocksize and superblock location to be specified, and the -c option | |
7239 | which is used in catastrophic situations where the block group | |
7240 | descriptors are corrupt. If the -c option is specified, debugfs will | |
7241 | skip trying to read in the block and inode bitmaps. | |
7242 | ||
7243 | Debufs's lsdel command was fixed to handle bad blocks in the inode | |
7244 | table. | |
7245 | ||
7246 | A Y2K bug in debugfs's "ls -l" handling was fixed by switching to use | |
7247 | 4 digit years. | |
7248 | ||
7249 | General improvements in error messages | |
7250 | ||
7251 | - Mke2fs prints a sane error message if the partition size is zero | |
7252 | (usually because the partition table wasn't reread by the | |
7253 | kernel due to the partition being busy), instead of "invalid | |
7254 | argument passed to ext2 library while initializing superblock". | |
7255 | ||
7256 | - Fsck now prints more self-explanatory message if an invalid UUID= | |
7257 | or LABEL= specification is passed to it. | |
7258 | ||
7259 | UUID library changed to use the LGPL. | |
7260 | ||
7261 | Fixed a bug in the UUID library where very rapid calls to the | |
7262 | time-based UUID generator could cause duplicate UUID's to be returned. | |
7263 | This was not a problem for e2fsprogs, but it could be a problem for | |
7264 | other users of the library. | |
7265 | ||
7266 | Make the UUID library more robust in the face of missing or an | |
7267 | improper /dev/urandom or /dev/random files. | |
7268 | ||
7269 | Added some random portability fixes for Solaris. | |
7270 | ||
7271 | Some minor man page updates. | |
7272 | ||
7273 | Fixed a memory leak in the ss library. | |
7274 | ||
7275 | ||
7276 | Programmer's notes: | |
7277 | ------------------- | |
7278 | ||
7279 | We now try to use lseek64 and open64 from the LFS if possible. | |
7280 | ||
7281 | The 3rd parameter in e2p's print_flags is now a flags word, instead of | |
7282 | a boolean option. | |
7283 | ||
7284 | The mark and unmark bitmap functions now return the previous state of | |
7285 | the bit that was being changed, which is useful for some speed | |
7286 | optimizations. | |
7287 | ||
7288 | The following functions have been added to enhance the badblocks list | |
7289 | handling in libext2fs: ext2fs_write_bb_FILE, ext2fs_read_bb_FILE2, and | |
7290 | ext2fs_badblocks_equal. | |
7291 | ||
7292 | The ext2 header files now have the latest journalling fields to the | |
7293 | superblock. | |
7294 | ||
7295 | The ext2fs_mkdir function in libext2fs now properly backs out of error | |
7296 | conditions robustly. | |
7297 | ||
7298 | Cleaned up makefiles: | |
7299 | - to cleanly compile with the -j flag. | |
7300 | - so distclean removes all generated files. | |
7301 | - so in case of an error while installing header files, the make aborts. | |
7302 | ||
7303 | Fix test_script so that it works correctly when compiling in the | |
7304 | source directory. | |
7305 | ||
31d1d0c8 TT |
7306 | The random UUID generation routine has been made slightly better in |
7307 | the case where /dev/random doesn't exist. (Use of randomly-based UUID | |
7308 | is still not recommended if /dev/random doesn't exist, however; it's | |
7309 | better to use the time/ethernet MAC address UUID in this case.) | |
ab146766 TT |
7310 | |
7311 | Clean up the build process so it's more friendly in case of missing | |
7312 | directories. | |
7313 | ||
7314 | The ext2fs header file can now be #include'd into C++ programs. | |
7315 | ||
7316 | The e2p.h header file is now installed. | |
7317 | ||
7318 | Added workaround to a gawk 3.0.5 bug in lib/ss/mk_cmds. | |
7319 | ||
7320 | ||

7322 | E2fsprogs 1.18 (November 10, 1999) |
7323 | ================================== | |
7324 | ||
7325 | Fix a core dumping bug in e2fsck if an imagic inode is present or | |
7326 | (more rarely) if the filesystem is badly corrupted enough that e2fsck | |
7327 | has to restart pass 1 processing. E2fsck now closes the filesystem | |
7328 | before freeing a large number of its data structures, so in the case | |
7329 | of future memory faults, at least the fixed filesystem will be fully | |
7330 | written out. | |
7331 | ||
7332 | If a filesystem doesn't support imagic inodes, and e2fsck discovers an | |
7333 | imagic inode, it will offer to clear the imagic flag. | |
7334 | ||
7335 | E2fsck will now offer to clear the immutable flag on special files | |
7336 | (device/socket/fifos) when running it in non-preen mode. | |
7337 | ||
7338 | E2fsck will now set the filetype when creating /lost+found, and when | |
7339 | connected orphaned inodes to /lost+found. | |
7340 | ||
7341 | Debugfs's ncheck and icheck commands now handles the case where there | |
7342 | are bad blocks in the inode table without bombing out. | |
7343 | ||
7344 | The badblocks list processing code has been made more efficiently for | |
7345 | appending a large number of (ordered) badblocks to the badblocks list. | |
7346 | ||
7347 | Some minor man page updates. | |
7348 | ||
7349 | Fsck now allows interactive e2fsck's when using fsck -As (not a common | |
7350 | mode, but some people like to do this in boot scripts for silly reasons). | |
7351 | ||
7352 | Programmer's notes: | |
7353 | ------------------- | |
7354 | ||
7355 | The internal e2fsck problem code for PR_2_SPLIT_DOT was fixed to meet | |
7356 | with the problem code convention. | |
7357 | ||
7358 | The badblocks list regression test program has been updated to work | |
7359 | with previously made API name changes. | |
7360 | ||
7361 | The ext2fs_free() command now uses the new badblocks API to avoid | |
7362 | using the compatibility layer. | |
7363 | ||
7364 | Added new regression test cases; the run_e2fsck test script now | |
7365 | supports the ability for a test case to run a prepratory command | |
7366 | before running e2fsck. | |
7367 | ||
28e1194e TT |
7368 | E2fsprogs 1.17 (October 26, 1999) |
7369 | ================================= | |
7370 | ||
7371 | Fixed nasty typo in fsck which caused parallelized fsck's to go into an | |
7372 | infinite loop. | |
7373 | ||
7374 | Fixed a bug in fsck where it used strncmp to compare a binary UUID, | |
7375 | thus potentially causing problems if a binary UUID contained a NULL | |
7376 | character. | |
7377 | ||
7378 | E2fsck now uses stricter checks for directory entries in pass 2: | |
7379 | zero-length filenames are not allowed; neither are 8 byte long | |
7380 | directory entries. | |
7381 | ||
7382 | The debugfs "dirty" command now clears the filesystem valid bit. | |
7383 | (Previously this just set the dirty-as-in-needs-writing-out-to-disk | |
7384 | bit in the in-core superblock image. The new functionality is more | |
7385 | what the user expects, and is more useful.) | |
7386 | ||
7387 | Added a debugging hook to test parallel fsck; if the environment | |
7388 | variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL, then filesystems on the same drive | |
7389 | will be checked in parallel when they normally would not be. | |
7390 | ||
7391 | Programmer's notes: | |
7392 | ------------------- | |
7393 | ||
7394 | Fixed some #ifdef's for compilation under the Hurd OS. | |
7395 | ||
7396 | Fixed minor W2K compatibility problems. | |
7397 | ||
7398 | Fixed some miscellaneous GCC warnings. | |
7399 | ||
7400 | ||
8a31ffef TT |
7401 | E2fsprogs 1.16 (October 22, 1999) |
7402 | ================================= | |
7403 | ||
7404 | Fixed a race condition bug in fsck; when printing a progress bar, if | |
7405 | checking multiple filesystems in parallel, it was possible for fsck to | |
7406 | send e2fsck a SIGUSR1 signal before e2fsck had installed its signal | |
7407 | handler, which would cause it to terminate with a signal 10. | |
7408 | ||
7409 | E2fsck now properly handles filesystems that have the | |
7410 | INCOMPAT_FILETYPE feature turned on. It can be used to convert a | |
7411 | filesystem into using or not using FILETYPE feature. | |
7412 | ||
7413 | E2fsck now properly handles filesystems that have the IMAGIC feature | |
7414 | turned on (this is used on Linux AFS servers). | |
7415 | ||
7416 | The mke2fs program now creates filesystems that have the filetype and | |
7417 | sparse_superblock features enabled by default, unless it is run on a | |
7418 | pre-2.2 kernel. These features are not supported by a pre-2.2 kernel, | |
7419 | so there is now a new flag -O which allows the user to specify with | |
7420 | which features she would like to create the filesystem; "mke2fs -O | |
7421 | none" will create a filesystsem compatible with 2.0 kernels. | |
7422 | ||
7423 | The tune2fs program now has a -O option which allows the user to set | |
7424 | and reset "safe" filesystem features. Currently, the only ones which | |
7425 | allows to be modified are the filetype and sparse_superblock features. | |
7426 | Note setting or clearing either feature will require running e2fsck on | |
7427 | the filesystem afterwards. (n.b. Clearing the sparse_superblock feature | |
7428 | requires that there is enough free space on the filesystem for the | |
7429 | extra superblocks which will be created by e2fsck.) | |
7430 | ||
7431 | Debugfs can now set and print filesystem features in the superblock | |
7432 | using the "features" command. Dumpe2fs will print out the complete | |
7433 | set of features when listing the superblock. | |
7434 | ||
7435 | Dumpe2fs has new options -f (force) and -h (header-only). | |
7436 | ||
7437 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could cause the PROGRAMMING ERROR/bonehead | |
7438 | message to come up. This could happen when decrementing or | |
7439 | incrementing a link count could result in an overflow. | |
7440 | ||
7441 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck where the block count on the lost+found | |
7442 | directory would not be properly incremented when the directory was | |
7443 | expanded to the point where an indirect block needed to be allocated. | |
7444 | ||
7445 | E2fsck now makes some additional sanity checks on the superblock to | |
7446 | avoid crashing or giving a memory allocation error if some of the | |
7447 | values in the superblock are unresonable (but the superblock otherwise | |
7448 | looks valid). | |
7449 | ||
7450 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck where a very badly corrupted filesystem might | |
7451 | require two passes to completely fix the filesystem. This happened if | |
7452 | an inode claimed blocks that was part of the filesystem metadata | |
7453 | (typically, when garbage was written into an inode table or indirect | |
7454 | block, since this kind of filesystem corruption normally doesn't | |
7455 | happen otherwise). | |
7456 | ||
7457 | On the Alpha, glibc declares st_flags although it isn't actually used; | |
7458 | the configure script was improved to detect this case so that | |
7459 | e2fsprogs can avoid using the non-functional stat field. | |
7460 | ||
7461 | The manual pages were updated to use a more consistent formatting | |
7462 | style consistent with standard Unix man pages. Mke2fs's man page | |
7463 | added documentation for a few previously undocumented options. | |
7464 | ||
7465 | Fixed minor display bugs in tune2fs and mke2fs. | |
7466 | ||
7467 | Programmer's notes: | |
7468 | ------------------- | |
7469 | ||
7470 | Improved portability of e2fsprogs to non-Unix systems (in particular, NT). | |
7471 | ||
7472 | Added features to parse and print feature strings into the e2p library. | |
7473 | (e2p_feature2string, e2p_string2feature, e2p_edit_feature). | |
7474 | ||
7475 | ext2fs_mkdir() and ext2fs_new_dir_block() now creates directories | |
7476 | whose directory entries contain proper filetype information if the | |
7477 | filesystem supports it. | |
7478 | ||
7479 | ext2fs_link() now uses the low 3 bits of its flags parameter to pass | |
7480 | the directory entry filetype information. This is used to set the | |
7481 | directory entry filetype information if the filesystem supports it. | |
7482 | ||
7483 | Fixed a bug in ext2fs_expand_dir() where the block count in a | |
7484 | directory's inode would not be properly incremented when the directory | |
7485 | was expanded to the point where an indirect block needed to be | |
7486 | allocated. | |
7487 | ||
7488 | ||
a39f3efe | 7489 | E2fsprogs 1.15 (July 18, 1999) |
e2a99be6 | 7490 | ============================== |
6d53db3f TT |
7491 | |
7492 | Add configuration checks so that e2fsprogs will compile cleanly on | |
7493 | Linux 2.3 kernels that have renamed i_version to i_generation. | |
7494 | ||
e2a99be6 TT |
7495 | E2fsck now prints a progress/completion bar (and not just a simple |
7496 | spinner) if the -C0 option is requested or if it receives a SIGUSR1 | |
7497 | signal. Fsck will automatically manage the (potentially muliple) | |
7498 | e2fsck processes to print completion bars if it is given a -C option, | |
7499 | with the right thing happening if multiple filesystems are being | |
7500 | checked in parallel. | |
7501 | ||
7502 | Mke2fs now has better automatic hueristics to determine the filesystem | |
7503 | parameters to be used for a particular filesystem. Added a new option | |
7504 | -T which allows the user to specify how the filesystem is to be used, | |
7505 | which helps mke2fs do a better job selecting the filesystem parameters. | |
7506 | ||
a39f3efe TT |
7507 | Mke2fs now creates revision 1 filesystems by default, and with the |
7508 | sparse superblock feature enabled. The sparse superblock feature is | |
8a31ffef TT |
7509 | not understood by Linux 2.0 kernels, so they will only allow read-only |
7510 | mounts of filesystems with this sparse superblocks. | |
a39f3efe | 7511 | |
6d53db3f TT |
7512 | Fix bug where if /dev/null couldn't be opened (should never happen), |
7513 | e2fsck would hang in a tight loop. | |
7514 | ||
7515 | Make e2fsck handle the case where /lost+found isn't a directory. | |
7516 | ||
7517 | E2fsck now uses mallinfo if it exists to get accurate statistics about | |
7518 | its memory usage. | |
7519 | ||
7520 | Fix bug in e2fsck where it wouldn't check to see if a disconnected | |
7521 | inode had any problems before connecting it to /lost+found. | |
7522 | ||
7523 | Add check to e2fsck so it makes sure that total number of inodes in | |
7524 | the filesystem is a sane number. | |
7525 | ||
7526 | Fix fencepost error when clearing an the end of the block bitmap which | |
7527 | caused the last block in the bitmap not to get cleared. | |
7528 | ||
7529 | Cleaned up a number of messages in e2fsck: | |
7530 | * The message "Group's #'s copy of the group descriptor..." | |
7531 | was fixed so that the correct number would be displayed. | |
7532 | * Added missing space in the "disk write-protected" error messsage | |
7533 | * Cleaned up the error message printed when a non-interactive | |
7534 | e2fsck needs to abort a check because the filesystem | |
7535 | appears to be mounted. | |
7536 | ||
7537 | Added a new command-line utility, uuidgen, which will create and print | |
7538 | a UUID. | |
7539 | ||
7540 | Make debugfs's icheck command more robust by checking to make sure an | |
7541 | inode has valid blocks before interarting over the inode's blocks. | |
7542 | ||
7543 | UUID generation now uses a random-based scheme whenever possible to | |
7544 | prevent potential privacy problems. | |
7545 | ||
7546 | Man pages for all of the UUID functions in the lirbary were added. | |
7547 | ||
7548 | Fixed bug in fsck so it won't coredump if a filesystem not in | |
7549 | /etc/fstab is given to it. | |
7550 | ||
7551 | Fsck now understands the UUID=xxxx and LABEL=yyyy forms in /etc/fstab | |
7552 | that most of the other mount utilities understands. | |
7553 | ||
7554 | Mke2fs will make a filesystem even if it appears mounted if the force | |
7555 | option is given. | |
7556 | ||
7557 | Dumpe2fs has new command-line options which allow a filesystem expert | |
7558 | to specify the superblock and blocksize when opening a filesystem. | |
7559 | This is mainly useful when examining the remains of a toasted | |
7560 | filesystem. | |
7561 | ||
7562 | The badblocks program has been updated to display correctly on disks | |
7563 | with large block numbers. | |
7564 | ||
e2a99be6 TT |
7565 | The badblocks program no longer gives spurious errors when errors |
7566 | occur on non-block boundaries, which is common if the blocksize is | |
7567 | larger than 1k. | |
7568 | ||
6d53db3f TT |
7569 | Mke2fs will sync the disk device every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups if the |
7570 | MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set. This is to work around a VM | |
7571 | bug in the 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able | |
a39f3efe TT |
7572 | to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel, but hopefully it will not be |
7573 | needed for most Linux 2.2 users. | |
6d53db3f TT |
7574 | |
7575 | Fixed miscellaneous documentation and man pages. | |
7576 | ||
7577 | Programmer's notes: | |
7578 | ------------------- | |
7579 | ||
7580 | Cleaned up functions such as pass1_get_blocks, pass1_read_inode which | |
7581 | in e2fsck's pass1.c really should have been static. | |
7582 | ||
7583 | The return value of the uuid_compare() function was changed to make it | |
7584 | match with the convetions used by strcmp, memcmp, and Paul Leach's | |
7585 | UUID sample document. | |
7586 | ||
7587 | The "make depend" process has now been made more automated; it now | |
7588 | automatically word-wraps the dependencies, and only replaces source | |
7589 | Makefile.in if there has been a change in the dependencies. Also, a | |
7590 | top-level "make depend" now recurses through all the subdirectories | |
7591 | automatically. | |
7592 | ||
7593 | The Makefile in .../util has been changed so that subst is built using | |
7594 | the native C compiler during a cross-compilation, since the subst | |
7595 | program is only used during the build process. Also add an explicit | |
7596 | rule to build util/subst by cd'ing to the correct directory and | |
7597 | running Makefile. | |
7598 | ||
7599 | The man directories are defined in terms mandir, so that the configure | |
7600 | script can override the location of the manual pages. | |
7601 | ||
7602 | The config files have been updated to recognize new machine types for | |
7603 | both the i386 and alpha families. | |
7604 | ||
7605 | Fsck has been modified so that it will accurately create an | |
7606 | fsck_instance even when the noexecute flag is set. This allows for | |
7607 | accurate debugging of the fsck pass structure. Also, when the verbose | |
7608 | flag is given twice, fsck will print debugging information about when | |
7609 | fsck is waiting for jobs to finish. | |
7610 | ||
7611 | ||
14790ed7 TT |
7612 | E2fsprogs 1.14 (January 9, 1999) |
7613 | ================================ | |
7614 | ||
7615 | Fix the fstab parsing code so that it can handle blank lines and | |
7616 | comment characters. Also, missing pass numbers need to be treated as | |
7617 | zero. | |
7618 | ||
7619 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck where under some circumstances (when e2fsck | |
7620 | needs to restart processing after fixing an egregious inconsistency) | |
7621 | it would try to access already freed memory. | |
7622 | ||
7623 | E2fsck now prints non-printable characters in directory entries and | |
7624 | pathnames using '^' and 'M-' notation. | |
7625 | ||
7626 | Fixed chattr so that it will ignore symbolic links when doing | |
7627 | recursive descent traversals. For both chattr and lsattr, no longer | |
7628 | print the version string unless the -V option is given. | |
7629 | ||
7630 | Allow the system administrator to directly specify the number of | |
7631 | inodes desired in the filesystem, for some special cases where this is | |
7632 | necessary. | |
7633 | ||
7634 | Fix portability problems so that e2fsprogs can be compiled under Linux | |
7635 | 1.2 systems and Solaris systems. | |
7636 | ||
7637 | Update the config.guess file with a more recent version that will | |
7638 | identify newer Linux platforms. | |
7639 | ||
7640 | Programmer's notes | |
7641 | ------------------ | |
7642 | ||
7643 | Ext2fs_read_inode and ext2fs_write_inode will now return an error if | |
7644 | an inode number of zero is passed to them. | |
7645 | ||
556ad132 TT |
7646 | E2fsprogs 1.13 (December 15, 1998) |
7647 | ================================== | |
7648 | ||
7649 | Fixed a bug in debugfs where an error messages weren't getting printed | |
7650 | when the ext2 library routines to read inodes returned errors in the | |
7651 | stat, cmri and rm commands. | |
7652 | ||
7653 | Fixed a bug in mke2fs so that if a ridiculous inode ratio parameter is | |
7654 | provided, it won't create an inode table smaller than the minimum | |
7655 | number of inodes required for a proper ext2 filesystem. | |
7656 | ||
7657 | Fsck now parses the /etc/fstab file directly (instead of using | |
7658 | getmntent()), so that it can distinguish between a missing pass number | |
7659 | field and pass number field of zero. This caused problems for | |
7660 | diskless workstations where all of the filesystems in /etc/fstab have | |
7661 | an explicit pass number of zero, and fsck could not distinguish this | |
7662 | from a /etc/fstab file with missing pass numbers. | |
7663 | ||
7664 | E2fsck will create a /lost+found directory if there isn't one in the | |
7665 | filesystem, since it's safer to create the lost+found directory before | |
7666 | it's needed. | |
7667 | ||
7668 | Fixed e2fsck so that it would detect bogus immutable inodes which | |
7669 | happen to be sockets and FIFO files, and offer to clear them. | |
7670 | ||
7671 | If a filesystem has multiple reasons why it needs to be checked, and | |
7672 | one of the reasons is that it is uncleanly mounted, e2fsck will print | |
7673 | that as the reason why the filesystem is being checked. | |
7674 | ||
7675 | Cleaned up the output routines of mke2fs so that it doesn't overflow | |
7676 | an 80 column display when formating really big filesystems. | |
7677 | ||
7678 | Added a sanity check to e2fsck to make sure that file descriptors 0, | |
7679 | 1, 2 are open before opening the hard disk. This avoids a problem | |
7680 | where a broken program might exec e2fsck with those file descriptors | |
7681 | closed, which would cause disastrous results if the kernel returns a | |
7682 | file descriptor for the block device which is also used by FILE * | |
7683 | stdout. | |
7684 | ||
7685 | Fixed up the e2fsck progress reporting functions so that the values | |
7686 | reliably reach 100% at the completion of all of the e2fsck passes. | |
7687 | ||
7688 | Fixed minor documentation bugs in man pages and usage messages. | |
7689 | ||
7690 | Programmer's notes: | |
7691 | ------------------- | |
7692 | ||
7693 | Fixed a number of lint warnings in the ext2fs library and potential | |
7694 | portability problems from other OS's header files that might define | |
7695 | CPP macros for names like "max" and "min". | |
7696 | ||
7697 | ext2fs_badblocks_list_add() has been made more efficient when it needs | |
7698 | to grow the bad blocks list. | |
7699 | ||
7700 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused it to dereference a freed pointer | |
7701 | just before exiting. | |
7702 | ||
7703 | Fixed the substition process for generating the mk_cmds and compile_et | |
7704 | scripts so that they will work outside of the build tree. | |
7705 | ||
7706 | Add sanity check to e2fsck so that if an internal routine | |
7707 | (ext2fs_get_dir_info) returns NULL, avoid dereferencing the pointer | |
7708 | and causing a core dump. This should never happen, but... | |
7709 | ||
a569671a | 7710 | E2fsprogs 1.12 (July 9, 1998) |
21d53850 TT |
7711 | ================================== |
7712 | ||
7713 | E2fsprogs now works with glibc (at least with the version shipped wtih | |
7714 | RedHat 5.0). The ext2fs_llseek() function should now work even with | |
7715 | i386 ELF shared libraries and if llseek() is not present. We also | |
7716 | explicitly do a configure test to see if (a) llseek is in libc, and | |
7717 | (b) if llseek is declared in the system header files. (See standard | |
7718 | complaints about libc developers don't understand the concept of | |
7719 | compatibility with previous versions of libc.) | |
7720 | ||
c9833a60 TT |
7721 | The ext2fs library now writes out the block group number in each of |
7722 | the superblock copies. This makes it easier to automatically | |
7723 | determine the starting block group of the filesystem when the block | |
7724 | group information is trashed. | |
7725 | ||
7726 | Added support for the EXT2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_FILETYPE feature, | |
101c84f2 TT |
7727 | which means that e2fsprogs will ignore the high 8 bits of the |
7728 | directory entry's name_len field, so that it can be used for other | |
7729 | purposes. | |
7730 | ||
7731 | Added support for the EXT2_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_LARGE_FILE feature. | |
7732 | E2fsprogs will now support filesystems with 64-bit sized files. | |
7733 | ||
7734 | Added support for the EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_DIR_PREALLOC feature. | |
7735 | ||
21d53850 TT |
7736 | Added new program "e2label", contributed by Andries Brouwer. E2label |
7737 | provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem label. | |
7738 | ||
a4b2d3ce TT |
7739 | Fixed bug so that lsattr -v works instead of producing a core dump. |
7740 | ||
21d53850 TT |
7741 | Fixed a minor bug in mke2fs so that all groups with bad superblock |
7742 | backup blocks are printed (not just the first one). | |
a4b2d3ce TT |
7743 | |
7744 | Mke2fs will check the size of the device, and if the user specifies a | |
7745 | filesystem size larger than the apparent size of the device it will | |
7746 | print a warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed. | |
7747 | ||
c9833a60 TT |
7748 | E2fsck has a new option -C, which sends completion information to the |
7749 | specified file descriptor. For the most part, this is intended for | |
7750 | programs to use, although -C 0 will print a spinning character to the | |
7751 | stdout device, which may be useful for users who want to see something | |
7752 | happening while e2fsck goes about its business. | |
7753 | ||
21d53850 TT |
7754 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could cause a core dump when it needs to |
7755 | expand the /lost+found directory, and sometimes the bitmaps haven't | |
7756 | been merged in. Also fixed a related bug where ext2fs_write_dir_block | |
7757 | was used to write out a non-directory block. (Which would be bad on a | |
7758 | non-Intel platform with byte swapping going on.) | |
7759 | ||
7760 | Fixed bug in e2fsck where it would print a "programming error" message | |
7761 | instead of correctly identifying where a bad block was in used when | |
7762 | the bad block was in a non-primary superblock or block group | |
7763 | descriptor. Also fixed a related bug when sparse superblocks are in | |
7764 | use and there is a bad block where a superblock or block group | |
7765 | descriptor would have been in a group that doesn't include a | |
7766 | superblock. | |
7767 | ||
7768 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck (really in libext2fs's dblist function) where if | |
7769 | the block group descriptor table is corrupt, it was possible to try to | |
7770 | allocate a huge array, fail, and then abort e2fsck. | |
7771 | ext2fs_get_num_dirs() now sanity checks the block group descriptor, | |
7772 | and subsitutes reasonable values if the descriptors are obviously bogus. | |
7773 | ||
7774 | If e2fsck finds a device file which has the immutable flag set and the | |
7775 | i_blocks beyond the normal device number are non-zero, e2fsck will | |
7776 | offer to remove it, since it's probably caused by garbage in the inode | |
7777 | table. | |
7778 | ||
7779 | When opening a filesystem, e2fsck specially checks for the EROFS error | |
7780 | code, and prints a specific error message to the user which is more | |
7781 | user friendly. | |
7782 | ||
7783 | If the filesystem revision is too high, change the e2fsck to print | |
7784 | that this is either because e2fsck is out of date, or because the | |
7785 | superblock is corrupt. | |
7786 | ||
7787 | E2fsck now checks for directories that have duplicate '.' and '..' | |
7788 | entries, and fixes this corruption. | |
7789 | ||
7790 | E2fsck no longer forces a sync of the filesystem (with attendant sleep | |
7791 | calls) at all times. The ext2fs_flush() function now performs a sync | |
7792 | only if it needed to write data blocks to disk. | |
7793 | ||
7794 | Fixed a minor bug in e2fsck's pass1b's file cloning function, where | |
7795 | certain errors would not be properly reported. | |
7796 | ||
7797 | Updated and expanded a few points in the man pages which users | |
7798 | complained wheren't explicit enough. | |
7799 | ||
7800 | Added special case byte-swapping code if compiling on the PowerPC, to | |
7801 | accomodate the strange big-endian variant of the ext2 filesystem that | |
7802 | was previously used on the PowerPC port. | |
7803 | ||
7804 | ||
7805 | Programmer's notes: | |
7806 | ------------------- | |
7807 | ||
7808 | Removed C++ keywords from the ext2fs libraries so that it could be | |
7809 | compiled with C++. | |
7810 | ||
7811 | E2fsck's internal organization has now been massively reorganized so | |
7812 | that pass*.c don't have any printf statements. Instead, all problems | |
7813 | are reported through the fix_problem() abstraction interface. E2fsck | |
7814 | has also been revamped so that it can be called as a library from a | |
7815 | application. | |
7816 | ||
7817 | Added new fileio primitives in libext2fs for reading and writing | |
7818 | files on an unmounted ext2 filesystem. This interface is now used by | |
7819 | debugfs. | |
7820 | ||
7821 | Added a new libext2fs function for mapping logical block numbers of | |
7822 | a file to a physical block number. | |
7823 | ||
7824 | Added a new libext2fs function, ext2fs_alloc_block(), which allocates | |
7825 | a block, zeros it, and updates the filesystem accounting records | |
7826 | appropriately. | |
7827 | ||
7828 | Added a new libext2fs function, ext2fs_set_bitmap_padding(), which | |
7829 | sets the padding of the bitmap to be all one's. Used by e2fsck pass 5. | |
7830 | ||
7831 | The libext2fs functions now use a set of memory allocation wrapper | |
7832 | functions: ext2fs_get_mem, ext2fs_free_mem, and ext2fs_resize_mem, | |
7833 | instead of malloc, free, and resize. This makes it easier for us to | |
7834 | be ported to strange environments where malloc, et. al. aren't | |
7835 | necessarily available. | |
7836 | ||
7837 | Change the libext2fs fucntion to return ext2-specific error codes | |
7838 | (EXT2_DIR_EXISTS and EXT2_DB_NOT_FOUND, for example) instead of using | |
7839 | and depending on the existence of system error codes (such as EEXIST | |
7840 | and ENOENT). | |
7841 | ||
7842 | Renamed io.h to ext2_io.h to avoid collision with other OS's header | |
7843 | files. | |
7844 | ||
7845 | Add protection against ext2_io.h and ext2fs.h being included multiple | |
7846 | times. | |
7847 | ||
7848 | The types used for memory lengths, etc. have been made more portable. | |
7849 | In generla, the code has been made 16-bit safe. Added Mark | |
7850 | Habersack's contributed DOS disk i/o routines. | |
7851 | ||
7852 | Miscellaneous portability fixes, including not depending on char's | |
7853 | being signed. | |
7854 | ||
7855 | The io_channel structure has a new element, app_data, which is | |
7856 | initialized by the ext2fs routines to contain a copy of the filesystem | |
7857 | handle. | |
7858 | ||
7859 | ext2fs_check_directory()'s callback function may now return the error | |
7860 | EXT2_ET_CALLBACK_NOTHANDLED if it wishes ext2fs_check_directory() to | |
7861 | really do the checking, despite the presence of the callback function. | |
7862 | ||
7863 | ||
bc210074 TT |
7864 | E2fsprosg 1.11 (June 17, 1997) |
7865 | ============================== | |
7866 | ||
7867 | Fixed e2fsck to detect (previously ignored) conflicts between the | |
7868 | superblock or block group descriptors and block bitmaps, inode | |
7869 | bitmaps, and inode tables. | |
7870 | ||
7871 | Fixed bug in e2fsck so that when the message printed out when a block | |
7872 | or inode bitmap conflicts with other data, it has the correct group | |
7873 | number. | |
7874 | ||
7875 | Fixed bug in e2fsck and mke2fs where the blocksize wasn't being passed | |
7876 | to badblocks. This meant that not all of the filesystem was being | |
7877 | tested for bad blocks! | |
7878 | ||
7879 | Fixed an array boundary overrun case which cropped up in | |
7880 | ext2fs_badblocks_list_test when a user tried running "mke2fs -c | |
7881 | -b 4096". | |
7882 | ||
7883 | Adjusted the number of columns printed by mke2fs when displaying the | |
7884 | superblock backups to avoid running over 80 columns when making a | |
21d53850 | 7885 | really big filesystem. |
bc210074 TT |
7886 | |
7887 | Fixed up the man pages for e2fsck, debugfs, badblocks, chattr, | |
7888 | dumpe2fs, fsck, mke2fs, and tune2fs (typos and other minor grammar | |
7889 | fixes), thanks to some suggestions from Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net). | |
7890 | ||
7891 | Programmer's notes: | |
7892 | ------------------- | |
7893 | ||
7894 | Fixed install rule in lib/ss so that ss_err.h is actually getting | |
7895 | installed. | |
7896 | ||
7897 | Fixed bug in ext2fs_copy_bitmap; the destination bitmap wasn't getting | |
7898 | bassed back to the caller. | |
7899 | ||
7900 | Fixed bug in ext2fs_inode_scan_goto_blockgroup; it had not been | |
7901 | setting the current inode number (which meant this function wasn't | |
7902 | working at all). | |
7903 | ||
7904 | Fixed bug in ext2fs_resize_generic_bitmap; it had not be zeroing all | |
7905 | blocks in the bitmap when increasing the size of the bitmap. | |
7906 | ||
7907 | Changed the initial number of blocks allocated by ext2fs_init_dblist() | |
7908 | to be more realistic. | |
7909 | ||
7910 | Added a new function ext2fs_allocate_group_table, which sets up the | |
7911 | group descriptor information (and allocates inode and block bitmaps, | |
7912 | and inode tables for a particular group). The function was created by | |
7913 | factoring out code form ext2fs_allocate_tables(). | |
7914 | ||
7915 | Added a new function ext2fs_move_blocks which takes a bitmap of the | |
7916 | blocks to be moved, and moves them to another location on the | |
7917 | boardboard. | |
7918 | ||
7919 | Make the unix_io channel's io_channel_flush implementation calls sync() | |
7920 | to to flush the kernel buffers to disk. | |
7921 | ||
7922 | Added a new function ext2fs_dblist_count returns the number of | |
7923 | directory blocks in dblist. | |
7924 | ||
7925 | ||
ae851482 TT |
7926 | E2fsprogs 1.10 (April 24, 1997) |
7927 | =============================== | |
7928 | ||
7929 | Mke2fs once again defaults to creating revision #0 filesystems, since | |
7930 | people were complaining about breaking compatibility with 1.2 kernels. | |
7931 | Warning messages were added to the mke2fs and tune2fs man pages that | |
7932 | the sparse superblock option isn't supported by most kernels yet (1.2 | |
7933 | and 2.0 both don't support parse superblocks.) | |
7934 | ||
7935 | Added new flag to mke2fs, -R <raid options>, which allows the user to | |
7936 | tell mke2fs about the RAID configuration of the filesystem. Currently | |
7937 | the only supported raid option is "stride" which specifies the width | |
7938 | of the RAID stripe. | |
7939 | ||
7940 | Fixed bug in e2fsck where pass1b would bomb out if there were any | |
7941 | blocks marked bad in the inode table. | |
7942 | ||
7943 | Fixed rare bug in mke2fs where if the user had a very unlucky number | |
7944 | of blocks in a filesystem (probability less than .002) the resulting | |
7945 | filesystem would be corrupt in the last block group. | |
7946 | ||
7947 | Fixed bug where if e2fsck tried to allocate a block to fix a | |
7948 | filesystem corruption problem and the filesystem had no free blocks, | |
7949 | ext2fs_new_block() would loop forever. | |
7950 | ||
7951 | The configure script now checks explicitly to see if "-static" works, | |
7952 | since that can't be assumed to be true --- RedHat doesn't install | |
7953 | libc-static by default. | |
7954 | ||
7955 | Fixed bug in libext2's block iterator functions where under some | |
7956 | cirmcustances, file with holes would cause the bcount parameter to the | |
7957 | callback function to be incorrect. This bug didn't affect any of | |
7958 | e2fsprogs programs, but it was discovered by Paul Mackerras, the | |
7959 | author of the PPC boot loader. | |
7960 | ||
7961 | Removed use of static variables to store the inode cache in libext2fs. | |
7962 | This caused problems if more than one filesystem was accessed via | |
7963 | libext2fs (static variables in libraries are generally a bad idea). | |
7964 | Again, this didn't affect e2fsprogs programs, but it was discovered by | |
7965 | Paul Mackerras. | |
7966 | ||
7967 | Fixed minor bugs and version code drift to assure that e2fsprogs 1.10 | |
7968 | will compile cleanly with 1.2.13 kernels (even with a.out shared | |
7969 | libraries!) | |
7970 | ||
7971 | Programmer's notes: | |
7972 | ------------------- | |
7973 | ||
7974 | Added new functions to duplicate an ext2 filesystem handle, and its | |
7975 | associated substructure. New functions: ext2fs_dup_handle(), | |
7976 | ext2fs_copy_dblist(), ext2fs_badblocks_copy(), ext2fs_copy_bitmap(). | |
7977 | Other structures, such as the io_channel and the inode_cache, now have | |
7978 | a ref count so that they only get freed when they are no longer used | |
7979 | by any filesystem handle. (These functions were added as part of the | |
7980 | development effort for an ext2 resizer). | |
7981 | ||
2ecc6fef TT |
7982 | E2fsprogs 1.09 (April 14, 1997) |
7983 | =============================== | |
7984 | ||
7985 | Fixed bug in mke2fs (really in lib/ext2fs/initialize.c) which was | |
7986 | accidentally introduced in the 1.08 release. The overhead calculation | |
7987 | was accidentally removed, which caused ext2fs_initialize() to not | |
7988 | notice when the filesystem size needed to be adjusted down because | |
7989 | there wasn't enough space in the last block group. | |
7990 | ||
7991 | Fixed bug in version parsing library routine; it was always parsing | |
7992 | the library version string, instead of using the passed-in string. | |
7993 | ||
7994 | Clarified chattr man page. | |
7995 | ||
24757fa0 TT |
7996 | E2fsprogs 1.08 (April 10, 1997) |
7997 | =============================== | |
7998 | ||
7999 | E2fsck 1.07 was very slow when checking very large filesystems with a | |
8000 | lot of files that had hard links (i.e., news spools). This was fixed | |
8001 | by seriously revamping the icount abstraction. Added a formal test | |
8002 | suite for the icount abstraction. | |
8003 | ||
8004 | Debugfs now has a "-l" option to the "ls" command, which lists the | |
8005 | inode number, permissions, owner, group, size, and name of the files | |
8006 | in the directory. | |
8007 | ||
8008 | Fix a bug in e2fsck where when a directory had its blocks moved to | |
8009 | another location during the pass 1b processing, the directory block | |
8010 | list wasn't updated, so pass 2 wouldn't check (and correct) the | |
8011 | correct directory block. | |
8012 | ||
8013 | E2fsck will now treat inodes which contain blocks which are claimed by | |
8014 | the filesystem metadata by treating them as multiply claimed blocks. | |
8015 | This way, the data in those blocks can be copied to a new block during | |
8016 | the pass 1b--1d processing. | |
8017 | ||
8018 | E2fsck will attempt to determine the correct superblock number and | |
8019 | display it in the diagnostic and warning messages if possible. | |
8020 | ||
8021 | Add support for a new (incompatible) feature, "sparse_super". This | |
8022 | feature reduces the number of blocks which contain copies of backup | |
8023 | superblocks and block group descriptors. (It is only an incompatible | |
8024 | feature because of a bug in ext2_free_blocks.) mke2fs and tune2fs now | |
8025 | support a new -s option; e2fsck will recognize filesystems built with | |
8026 | this feature turned on. | |
8027 | ||
8028 | E2fsck now checks the library to make sure is the correct version, | |
8029 | using new library functions. (This helps to diagnose incorrectly | |
8030 | installed e2fsprogs distributions.) | |
8031 | ||
8032 | Dumpe2fs now prints more information; its now prints the the | |
8033 | filesystem revision number, the filesystem sparse_super feature (if | |
8034 | present), the block ranges for each block group, and the offset from | |
8035 | the beginning of the block group. | |
8036 | ||
8037 | Mke2fs now distributes the inode and block bitmap blok so that the | |
8038 | won't be concentrated in one or two disks in RAID/striping setups. | |
8039 | Also, if the user chooses a 2k or 4k block group, mke2fs will try to | |
8040 | choose the largest blocks per group that be chosen. (For 2k blocks, | |
8041 | you can have up to 16384 blocks/group; for 4k blocks, you can have up | |
8042 | to 32768 blocks/group.) Previously mke2fs would not allow | |
8043 | specification of more than 8192 blocks per group, even if you were | |
8044 | using a 2k or 4k block group. | |
8045 | ||
8046 | Programmer's notes: | |
8047 | ------------------- | |
8048 | ||
8049 | Added a new function ext2fs_create_icount2() which takes a "hint" | |
8050 | argument. This hint argument presets the icount array with the list | |
8051 | of inodes which actually need to be in the icount array. This really | |
8052 | helps to speed up e2fsck. | |
8053 | ||
8054 | Added a new function ext2fs_icount_validate() which checks the rep | |
8055 | invariant for the icount structure. This is used mostly for testing. | |
8056 | ||
8057 | The error mesasage given when a bad inode number is passed to | |
8058 | test_generic_bitmap to reflect EXT2FS_TEST_ERROR (instead of | |
8059 | EXT2FS_UNMARK_ERROR). | |
8060 | ||
8061 | Added a new function ext2fs_set_dir_block which sets the block of a | |
8062 | dblist entry, given the directory inode and blockcnt. | |
8063 | ||
8064 | Added a new function ext2fs_get_library_version() which returns the | |
8065 | current library version, and ext2fs_parse_version_string() which | |
8066 | returns a version number based on a e2fsprogs version string. | |
8067 | ||
8068 | The icount functions will return EINVAL if the passed in inode number | |
8069 | is out of bounds. | |
8070 | ||
21c84b71 TT |
8071 | E2fsprogs 1.07 (March 9, 1997) |
8072 | ============================== | |
8073 | ||
8074 | E2fsck is now uses much less memory when checking really large | |
8075 | filesystems (or rather, filesystems with a large number of inodes). | |
8076 | Previously a filesystem with 1 million inodes required 4 megabytes of | |
8077 | memory to store inode count statistics; that storage requirement has | |
8078 | now been reduced to roughly half a megabyte. | |
8079 | ||
8080 | E2fsck can now properly deal with bad blocks appearing inside the | |
8081 | inode table. Instead of trying to relocate the inode table (which | |
8082 | often failed because there wasn't enough space), the inodes in the bad | |
8083 | block are marked as in use. | |
8084 | ||
8085 | E2fsck will automatically try to use the backup superblocks if the | |
8086 | primary superblocks have a bad magic number or have missing meta-data | |
8087 | blocks (or meta-data blocks which are out of range). | |
8088 | ||
8089 | E2fsck's pass 3 has been made more efficient; most noticeable on | |
8090 | filesystems with a very large number of directories. | |
8091 | ||
8092 | Completely revamped e2fsck's system of printing problem reports. It | |
8093 | is now table driven, to make them more easily customizeable and | |
8094 | extendable. Error messages which can be printed out during preen mode | |
8095 | are now one line long. | |
8096 | ||
8097 | Fixed e2fsck's filesystem swapping code so that it won't try to swap | |
8098 | fast symbolic links or deleted files. | |
8099 | ||
8100 | Fixed e2fsck core dumping when fixing a filesystem which has no | |
8101 | directories (not even a root directory). | |
8102 | ||
8103 | Added a check to e2fsck to make sure that the length of every | |
8104 | directory entry is a multiple of 4 (since the kernel complains if it | |
8105 | isn't). | |
8106 | ||
8107 | Added a check to e2fsck to make sure that a directory entry isn't a | |
8108 | link to the root directory, since that isn't allowed. | |
8109 | ||
8110 | Added a check to e2fsk to now make sure the '.' and '..' directory | |
8111 | entries are null terminated, since the 2.0 kernel requires it. | |
8112 | ||
8113 | Added check to write_bitmaps() to make sure the superblock doesn't get | |
8114 | trashed if the inode or block bitmap is marked as being block zero. | |
8115 | ||
8116 | Added checking of the new feature set fields in the superblock, to | |
8117 | avoid dealing with new filesystem features that this package wasn't | |
8118 | set up to handle. | |
8119 | ||
8120 | Fixed a fencepost error in ext2fs_new_block() which would occasionally | |
8121 | try to allocate a block beyond the end of a filesystem. | |
8122 | ||
8123 | When the UUID library picks a random IEEE 802 address (because it | |
8124 | can't find one from a network card), it sets the multicast bit, to | |
8125 | avoid conflicting with a legitimate IEEE 802 address. | |
8126 | ||
8127 | Mke2fs now sets the root directory's owner to be the real uid of the | |
8128 | user running mke2fs. If the real uid is non-zero, it also sets | |
8129 | the group ownership of the root directory to be the real group-id of | |
8130 | the user running mke2fs. | |
8131 | ||
8132 | Mke2fs now has more intelligent error checking when it is given a | |
8133 | non-existent device. | |
8134 | ||
8135 | When badblocks is given the -vv option, it now updates the block that | |
8136 | it is currently testing on every block. | |
8137 | ||
8138 | Fixed a bug in fsck where it wouldn't modify the PATH envirnoment | |
8139 | currently correctly if PATH wasn't already set. | |
8140 | ||
8141 | Shared libraries now built with dependencies. This allows the shared | |
8142 | library files to be used with dlopen(); it also makes the transition | |
8143 | to libc 6 easier, since ld.so can tell which libc a particular shared | |
8144 | library expects to use. | |
8145 | ||
8146 | Programmer's notes: | |
8147 | ------------------- | |
8148 | ||
8149 | Added new abstraction (defined in dblist.c) for maintaining a list of | |
8150 | blocks which belongs to directories. This is used in e2fsck and other | |
8151 | programs which need to iterate over all directories. | |
8152 | ||
8153 | Added new functions which test to see if a contiguous range of blocks | |
8154 | (or inodes) are available. (ext2fs_*_bitmap_range). | |
8155 | ||
8156 | Added new function (ext2_inode_has_valid_blocks) which returns true if | |
8157 | an inode has valid blocks. (moved from e2fsck code). | |
8158 | ||
8159 | Added new function (ext2fs_allocate_tables) which allocates the | |
8160 | meta-data blocks as part of initializing a filesystem. (moved from | |
8161 | mke2fs code). | |
8162 | ||
8163 | Added a new I/O manager for testing purposes. It will either allow a | |
8164 | program to intercept I/O requests, or print debugging messages to | |
8165 | trace the activity of a program using the I/O manager. | |
8166 | ||
8167 | The badblocks_list functions now store the bad blocks in a sorted | |
8168 | order, and use a binary search to speed up badblocks_list_test. | |
8169 | ||
8170 | The inode scan function ext2fs_get_next_inode() may now return a soft | |
8171 | error returns: MISSING_INODE_TABLE and BAD_BLOCK_IN_INODE_TABLE in | |
8172 | those cases where part of an inode table is missing or there is a bad | |
8173 | block in the inode table. | |
8174 | ||
8175 | Added a new function (ext2fs_block_iterate2) which adds new arguments to | |
8176 | the callback function to return a pointer (block and offset) to the | |
8177 | reference of the block. | |
8178 | ||
8179 | Added new function (ext2fs_inode_scan_goto_blockgroup) which allows an | |
8180 | application to jump to a particular block group while doing an inode | |
8181 | scan. | |
8182 | ||
8183 | The badblocks list functions were renamed from badblocks_* to | |
8184 | ext2fs_badblocks_*. Backwards compatibility functions are available | |
8185 | for now, but programs should be modified to use the new interface. | |
8186 | ||
8187 | Some of the library functions were reorganized into separate files to | |
8188 | reduce the size of some programs which statically link against the | |
8189 | ext2 library. | |
8190 | ||
8191 | Put in some miscellaneous fixes for the Alpha platform. | |

8194 | E2fsprogs 1.06 (October 7, 1996) | |
8195 | ================================ | |
8196 | ||
8197 | Fixed serious bug in e2fsck: if the block descriptors are bad, don't | |
8198 | smash the backup copies in ext2fs_close(). (The problem was that when | |
8199 | e2fsck -p discovered the problem, while it was closing the filesystem | |
8200 | and exiting, it was also blowing away the backup superblocks on the | |
8201 | disk, which was less than friendly.) We now make it the case that we | |
8202 | only write out the backup superblock and the back block descriptors if | |
8203 | the filesystem is completely free from problems. | |
8204 | ||
8205 | Fixed a bug in block_interate in the lib/ext2fs library which caused | |
8206 | e2fsck to fail on GNU Hurd-created filesystems. | |
8207 | ||
8208 | Add support for Linux/FT's bootloader, which actually uses | |
8209 | EXT2_BOOT_LOADER, and sets its mode bits which caused e2fsck to want | |
8210 | to clear the inode. | |
8211 | ||
8212 | Add support for the "A" (no atime update) attribute. (Note: this | |
8213 | attribute is not yet in production kernels.) | |
8214 | ||
8215 | The test suite is not automatically run when doing a "make all" from | |
8216 | the top level directory. Users should manually run "make check" if | |
8217 | they wish to run the test suite. | |
8218 | ||
8219 | Upon a preenhalt(), make the printed message more explicit that | |
8220 | running e2fsck "MANAULLY" means without the -p or -a options. | |
8221 | ||
8222 | In e2fsck, if a disconnected inode is zero-length, offer to clear it | |
8223 | instead of offering to connect it to lost+found. | |
8224 | ||
8225 | In e2fsck, if a filesystem was just unmounted uncleanly, and needs | |
8226 | e2fsck to be run over it, change e2fsck to explicitly display this | |
8227 | fact. | |
8228 | ||
8229 | For dumpe2fs and e2fsck, cause the -V option to print out which | |
8230 | version of the ext2fs library is actually getting used. (This will | |
8231 | help detect mismatches of using a 1.06 utility with a 1.05 library, | |
8232 | etc.) | |
8233 | ||
8234 | Programmers' notes: | |
8235 | ------------------- | |
8236 | ||
8237 | EXT2_SWAP_BYTES was changed to EXT2_FLAG_SWAP_BYTES, which better fits | |
8238 | the naming convention. | |
8239 | ||
8240 | In ext2fs_initialize(), make sure the description for the inode bitmap | |
8241 | is correctly initialize. | |
8242 | ||
8243 | Fixed minor type typo in ext2fs_allocate_generic_bitmap(); | |
8244 | ||
fc6d9d51 TT |
8245 | E2fsprogs 1.05 (September 7, 1996) |
8246 | ================================== | |
8247 | ||
8248 | Add support for new fields in the ext2 superblock --- volume name, | |
8249 | volume UUID, and last mounted field. Dumpe2fs displays these fields, | |
8250 | tune2fs and mke2fs allows you to set them. E2fsck will automatically | |
8251 | generate a UUID for those volumes that don't have them. | |
8252 | ||
8253 | Put in support for e2fsck to recognize HURD specific ext2 features --- | |
8254 | most notably, the translator block. The e2fsprogs tools will now use | |
8255 | the creator_os field in the superblock to correctly handle different | |
8256 | OS-specific variants of the ext2 filesystem. | |
8257 | ||
8258 | E2fsck now fixes inodes which have a the deletion time set, but which | |
8259 | have a non-zero i_link_count field by offering to clear the deletion | |
8260 | time. Previously e2fsck assumed that the inode was deleted (per 0.3c | |
8261 | ext2 kernel behavior) and offered to unlink the file. | |
8262 | ||
8263 | If e2fsck sets the clean bit, but nothing else, set the exit code | |
8264 | FSCK_NONDESTRUCT. After all, e2fsck did fix a filesystem error --- it | |
8265 | set the filesystem valid bit when it was previously cleared. :-) This | |
8266 | was needed to make the HURD fsck driver happy. | |
8267 | ||
8268 | If the user refuses to attach an unattached inode, e2fsck will no | |
8269 | longer set the inode's link count. Otherwise, the inode would end up | |
8270 | getting marked as unused, which might cause loss of data later. | |
8271 | ||
8272 | Make the message issued by e2fsck when the superblock is corrupt less | |
8273 | confusing for users. It now mentions that another reason for the | |
8274 | "corrupt superblock" message might be that the partition might not be | |
8275 | an ext2 filesystem at all (it might swap, msdos filesystem, ufs, etc.) | |
8276 | ||
8277 | Make the libext2 library more robuest so that e2fsck won't coredump on | |
8278 | an illegal superblock where the blocksize is zero. (f_crashdisk is | |
8279 | the test case). | |
8280 | ||
8281 | By default, create filesystems where the default checkinterval is 6 | |
8282 | months (180 days). Linux servers can be robust enough that 20 reboots | |
8283 | can be a long, long time. | |
8284 | ||
8285 | Added configure flag --enable-old-bitops, which forces the bitops to | |
8286 | use the old (native) bitmask operations. By default on the sparc | |
8287 | platform, the standard ext2 bit ordering is now used. | |
8288 | ||
8289 | Added a new feature to e2fsck to byte-swap filesystems; this can be | |
8290 | used to convert old m68k filesystems to use the standard byte-order | |
8291 | storage for the superblock, inodes, and directory blocks. This | |
8292 | function is invoked by using the '-s' option to e2fsck. | |
8293 | ||
8294 | Debugfs's "dump" command has been enhanced so that it writes out the | |
8295 | exact size of the file so that the nulls at the end of the file are | |
8296 | eliminated. The command also accept a new "-p" option which will | |
8297 | attempt preserve to preserve the ownernship, permissions, and | |
8298 | file modification/access times. | |
8299 | ||
8300 | Debugfs has two new options, -f and -R. The -R option allows the user | |
8301 | to execute a single debugfs command from the command line. The -f | |
8302 | option allows the user to specify a "command file" containing debugfs | |
8303 | commands which will get executed. | |
8304 | ||
8305 | Dumpe2fs now pretty prints the check interval, instead of just | |
8306 | printing the check interval as a number of seconds. | |
8307 | ||
8308 | Fix bugs in debugfs: the params command when no filesystem is opened | |
8309 | no longer causes a core dump. It is now possible to unlink a file | |
8310 | when a pathame containing a '/' is specified. | |
8311 | ||
8312 | Tune2fs has a new -C option which sets the number of times the | |
8313 | filesystem has been mounted. | |
8314 | ||
8315 | Fix the chattr '-v' option so that it actually works. Chattr was | |
8316 | being buggy about the -v option parsing. | |
8317 | ||
8318 | Programmers' notes: | |
8319 | ------------------- | |
8320 | ||
8321 | The directory lib/uuid contains a set of library routines to generate | |
8322 | DCE compatible UUIDs. | |
8323 | ||
8324 | Extended ext2fs_namei() to handle symbolic links. Added new function | |
8325 | ext2fs_nami_follow() which will follow last symbolic link in the case | |
8326 | where the pathname points to a sym link. | |
8327 | ||
8328 | The ext2fs_block_iterate function will now return the HURD translator | |
8329 | block, if present. The new flag BLOCK_FLAG_DATA_ONLY will cause the | |
8330 | iterator to return data blocks only. The ext2fs.h file now defines | |
8331 | constants BLOCK_COUNT_IND, BLOCK_COUNT_DIND, BLOCK_COUNT_TIND, and | |
8332 | BLOCK_COUNT_TRANSLATOR, which are the magic values passed in the block | |
8333 | count field of the iterator callback function. | |
8334 | ||
8335 | The test script driver now takes an optional second argument, which is | |
8336 | the test case to be run. This allows you to run a test case without | |
8337 | needing to run the entire test suite. | |
8338 | ||
8339 | On Linux ELF systems, install the .so files in the correct places | |
8340 | (/usr/lib). The .so files must be stored in the same directory as the | |
8341 | .a files. | |
8342 | ||
8343 | Fixed miscellaneous HURD compilation issues with header file being | |
8344 | included in the right order. | |
8345 | ||
8346 | Fixed debugfs so that it resets optind to zero, not one, since setting | |
8347 | optind to zero is more correct. | |
8348 | ||

8350 | E2fsprogs 1.04 (May 16, 1996) |
8351 | ============================= | |
8352 | ||
8353 | First "official" (1.03 was a limited release only) to support building | |
8354 | e2fsprogs under Linux 2.0 kernels (as well as late model 1.3 and 1.99 | |
8355 | kernels). | |
8356 | ||
8357 | This package includes a RPM specs file, that it can be built using the | |
8358 | RedHat Package Manager. | |
8359 | ||
8360 | E2fsck now prints a hint that if there are lots of incorrectly located | |
8361 | inode bitmaps, block bitmaps, and inode table blocks, the user might | |
8362 | want to try using e2fsck -b 8193 first, to see if that fares any | |
8363 | better. | |
8364 | ||
8365 | For ext2 filesystem written with the hurd, debugfs will now print out | |
8366 | the translator field when printing an inode structure. | |
8367 | ||
8368 | Lots of miscellaneous linking/installation cleanups: | |
8369 | ||
8370 | Libraries are now linked using a relative pathname, instead of | |
8371 | relying on -L working correct. It doesn't, in many cases, including | |
8372 | current versions of GNU ld. This guarantees that the build tree is | |
8373 | linking with the right libraries, instead of the ones installed in | |
8374 | /usr/lib. | |
8375 | ||
8376 | Header files, man pages, and the et/ss shell scripts are now | |
8377 | generated using a custom substitution script, instead of relying on | |
8378 | the configure script. This prevents needless recompilation of | |
8379 | files; in addition, the custom substitution script is much faster. | |
8380 | ||
8381 | e2fsck may now be linked dynamically, by using the | |
8382 | --enable-dynamic-e2fsck flag to configure. This is not recommended, | |
8383 | since it increases e2fsck's dependence on other files, but some | |
8384 | people need to save disk space, and other critical programs on their | |
8385 | systems were being linked dynamically anyway. | |
8386 | ||
8387 | Programs such as fsck which didn't need to be linked against | |
8388 | libext2fs (or mke2fs which didn't need to be linked against libe2p) | |
8389 | only link against libraries they actually need. Otherwise, those | |
8390 | programs would require the presense of libraries that otherwise | |
8391 | could be removed from a rescuse diskette. | |
8392 | ||
8393 | The ss include files are now installed correctly so they can | |
8394 | actually be used by another package. | |
8395 | ||
8396 | If the profiling libraries are built, they are now installed on a | |
8397 | "make install-libs". | |
8398 | ||

7f88b043 TT |
8400 | E2fsprogs 1.03 (March 27, 1996) |
8401 | =============================== | |
8402 | ||
8403 | Change the m68k bit numbering for bitmasks to match the bit numbering | |
8404 | used by all other ext2 implementations. (This change was requested by | |
8405 | the m68k kernel development team.) | |
8406 | ||
8407 | Support (in-development) filesystem format revision which supports | |
8408 | (among other things) dynamically sized inodes. | |
8409 | ||
8410 | Fixed a bug in the ext2 library so that an intelligent error is | |
8411 | returned if mke2fs is run with a ridiculously small number of blocks | |
8412 | for a partition. | |
8413 | ||
8414 | Fixed a bug in the ext2 library which required that the device be | |
8415 | openable in read/write mode in order to determine its size. This | |
8416 | caused e2fsck -n to require read/write access when it was not | |
8417 | previously necessary. | |
8418 | ||
8419 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck which casued it to occasionally fail the test | |
8420 | suite depending on which version of the floating point library it was | |
8421 | using. | |
8422 | ||
8423 | Fixed a bug in e2fsck so that it now halts with a fatal error when | |
8424 | certain superblock consistency checks fail. Previously it continued | |
8425 | running e2fsck, with some potential confusing/damaging consequences. | |
8426 | ||
8427 | Added new flag to fsck which allows the root to be checked in parallel | |
8428 | with other filesytems. This is not the safest thing in the world to | |
8429 | do, but some system administrators really wanted it. | |
8430 | ||
fc6d9d51 TT |
8431 | Fixed -Wall flames in lib/ss. |

74becf3c TT |
8433 | |
8434 | E2fsprogs 1.02 (January 16, 1996) | |
8435 | ================================= | |
8436 | ||
8437 | Fix to allow e2fsprogs to be compiled on recent 1.3 (pl45+) kernels. | |
8438 | ||
8439 | Change e2fsck to print statistics of how many non-contiguous files are | |
8440 | on the system. Note that a file which is larger than 8k blocks, it is | |
8441 | guaranteed to be non-contiguous. | |
8442 | ||
8443 | In mke2fs, print a warning message if a user tries to format a whole | |
8444 | disk (/dev/hda versus /dev/hda1). If a user really wants to format a | |
8445 | whole disk, the -F (force) option forces mke2fs to format a whole disk | |
8446 | as a filesytem. | |
8447 | ||
8448 | Fix a bug in fsck where in some cases it might start checking | |
8449 | partitions in the next pass before it finishes checking partitions in | |
8450 | the current pass. This still won't cause two partitions on the same | |
8451 | disk will be checked, so it's rarely a problem in real life. | |
8452 | ||
8453 | Patch lsattr so that it won't hang when checking a named pipe. | |
8454 | ||
8455 | Minor compilation fixes: | |
8456 | * Fix the order of libraries that were linked in debugfs. | |
8457 | * Allow the sources to be compiled with -ansi turned on. |
