19 * Makefile.in (install): Search all compression extensions when
20 deleting old man pages.
22 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix bug in algorithm which determined
23 which blocks are used as backup superblock and block group
26 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug which checked the tmp pointer
27 erreoneously (and needlessly).
29 2002-10-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
31 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple
32 filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were
33 not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug
34 introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment
37 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
39 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that

41 will still print out the contents of the block group
44 2002-10-20 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
46 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), mke2fs.c (PRS), e2image.c

54 default mount options.
56 2002-10-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
58 * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Use a 16k buffer to
59 read in /proc/partitions in one go.
61 * badblocks.c, fsck.c, fstype.c, get_device_by_label.c,
62 tune2fs.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits.

72 inode table correctly.
74 2002-09-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

82 badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as
85 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
87 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the
88 caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using
89 the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid
90 confusion about what ^has_journal means.
92 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
94 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29
96 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
98 * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the
99 -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of
100 them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not
101 a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind
102 of doubled entry in /etc/fstab!
104 2002-09-22 root <tytso@mit.edu>
106 * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default.
108 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to
109 be set. If so, set the default hash to be TEA, and
110 initialize the hash seed to a random value.
112 2002-09-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
114 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Fix bug which caused
115 LABEL='xxx' to not work correctly when using LVM.
116 (Reversed sense of error check reported by ateeq@hotpop.com)

122 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
124 * findfs.8.in: New man page.
126 * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set
127 to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of
128 LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name.
130 * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which
131 interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and
132 then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in
133 read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and
136 * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses
139 * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command
140 line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
142 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive
143 test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug
146 * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and
147 Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags.
148 (Addresses Debian Bug #151990)
150 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page, and clarified text regarding
151 options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug
154 * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end
155 of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian
158 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
160 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended
161 attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks.
163 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
165 * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED.
167 * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the
168 child fsck processes.
170 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
172 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the
173 BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get
174 zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
176 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
178 * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more
179 OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this
180 makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-)
182 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
184 * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938)

193 one inode per block for large blocksizes.
195 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
197 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at
198 runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files.
200 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
202 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified,
203 with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize
204 is larger than the system's page size according to the
205 Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for
206 valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if
207 using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't
210 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
212 * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page.
214 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
216 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27
218 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
220 * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and
221 also check the byte-swapped magic number as well.
223 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
225 * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr
226 (From Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>)
228 * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code.
230 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha.
231 (From Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>)
233 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas <pthomas@suse.de>
235 * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c
236 (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main),
237 tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c
238 (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to
239 be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES.
241 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com>
243 * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in
246 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
248 * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for
249 mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for
250 mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before
251 installing the man pages.
253 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
255 * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option
257 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
259 * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define
260 away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include
263 * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is
266 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>

275 * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a
276 specified list of filesystems. Also add support for
277 identifying reiserfs filesystems.
279 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
281 * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific
282 fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST
283 envrionment variable.
285 * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck.
287 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>

291 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
293 * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since
294 fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is
297 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
299 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add
300 support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set
301 the last checked time on the filesystem.
303 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
305 * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are
306 specified, then perform a destructive read/write test
309 * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users
310 to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard
311 for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct.
313 * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs
314 and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly.
316 * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is
317 now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get
318 dropped into that directory may have come from a protected
319 directory, and the system administrator may not deal with
320 immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443)
322 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
324 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to
325 ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header
326 file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it
327 forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the
328 include search path.)
330 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
332 * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out
333 information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID
334 cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's,
337 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
339 * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing
340 of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs
341 by eliminating duplicate code paths.
343 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
345 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match),
346 get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid),
347 mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS),
348 tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set),
349 util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits.
351 * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use
352 the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls.
354 * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to
357 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
359 * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table
360 if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up
361 to slim it down the support of the -x option.
363 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
365 * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug
368 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
370 * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that
371 check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB.
373 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
375 * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL
378 * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag.
380 * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make
381 sure interpet_device() is called so that device
382 specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated
383 into a real device name.
385 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
387 * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess
388 lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system
389 calls are a good thing. <g>
391 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
393 * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error.
395 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded.
397 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
399 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25
401 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
403 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't
406 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or
407 removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
409 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
411 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for
414 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
416 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a
418 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
420 * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string.
422 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@thunk.org>
424 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24
426 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
428 * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621)
430 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how
431 many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to
432 make it a bit more efficient/compact.
434 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
436 * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with
437 any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock.
438 The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures
439 on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end"
440 of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very
441 small device (less than 64 blocks).
443 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
445 * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other
448 * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c,
449 mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version
450 display, since it only confuses people.
452 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
454 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable
457 * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for
458 copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to
459 get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset.
461 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
463 * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec()
464 function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of
465 UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external
466 journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=<journal_label>).
468 * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external
469 journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it.
470 Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID
471 in the ext2 superblock.
473 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is
474 malloc'd in interpret spec.
476 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
478 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23
480 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
482 * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and
483 normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug
486 * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page.
488 * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the
489 pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.)
490 (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to
491 be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.)
493 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt
494 loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive.
495 (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.)
497 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is
498 specified more than once.
500 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
502 * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove
503 text that erroneously implied that all features
504 (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older
507 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
509 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if
510 mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature
511 should not be present.
513 * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files.
515 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger <root@lynx.adilger.int>
517 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option,
518 so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices.
520 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
522 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If
523 removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal
524 inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so
525 we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves
527 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
529 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if
530 we're removing an external journal from a filesystem.
532 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
534 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the
535 journal device is specified, use it to determine the
536 blocksize of the new filesystem.
538 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
540 * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the
541 fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses
544 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
546 * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock
547 of the filesystem to determines its type.
549 * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs
550 if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto".
552 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
554 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22
556 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>

565 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
567 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move
568 the message which displays how often the filesystem will
569 be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then
570 cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message
571 after adding a journal to a filesystem.
573 * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's
574 good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas
577 * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is
578 specified to configure.
580 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
582 * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not
583 we're (not) using i386 byte order.
585 * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks
586 function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions
589 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck
590 to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard
591 and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559)
593 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
595 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using
596 the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size
597 of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly.
599 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
601 * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to
602 lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in.
604 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
606 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20
608 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
610 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo.
612 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
614 * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when
615 querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl,
616 to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-)
618 * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_()
619 instead of _() to initialize static variables.
621 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
623 * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix
624 handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add
625 support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page
626 for description of new -t semantics.
628 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in
629 device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if
630 we don't know the base_device of the filesystem.
632 * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are
633 consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man
636 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
638 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c,
639 lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c:
640 Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
642 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested
645 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
647 * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction!
648 Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks.
650 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
652 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages.
654 * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other
655 clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger.
657 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
659 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which
660 make the revision superblock field be set to the correct
661 value depending on if superblock features are set.
663 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
665 * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message.
667 * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in,
668 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed
669 excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
671 * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of
674 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
676 * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H.
678 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
680 * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get
681 passed to filesystem-specific checkers.
683 * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
684 parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of
685 num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216)
687 * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count,
688 which is a more accurate description of the variable.
690 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
692 * e2image.8.in: New manual page
694 * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in,
695 tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be
696 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
698 * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs
699 to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image
702 * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse
705 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
707 * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine
708 the base device, we should assume that the device is
709 already active in order to force serialization.
711 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
713 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for
714 backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes
717 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
719 * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given,
720 tune2fs will remove the journal device information from
721 the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal
722 device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem
724 (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works
725 (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW).
726 (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID.
728 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
730 * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the
731 documentation for the extern journal device support.
733 * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage
736 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
738 * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the
739 filesystem will be checked after it is created.
741 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare
742 number to be treated as a journal size.
744 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they
747 * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call
748 ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going
749 to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the
750 entire device to get zero'ed.
752 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
754 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the
755 journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system
758 * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size()
760 * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change
761 journal_default_size into routine which also converts the
762 requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does
763 bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized
764 reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size.
765 (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal
766 size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and
767 based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to
768 using the absolute size of the journal.
770 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
772 * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message.
773 Also handle the case where the default journal size
774 returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often
775 the filesystem will be checked.
777 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
779 * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header.
781 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso <tytso@valinux.com>
783 * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports
786 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the
787 range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed
790 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the
791 use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files.
793 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
795 * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user
796 interface so that -J is used to specify journal options,
797 and -j is used to request creation of a journal using
798 default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done
799 a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent
800 with the rest of the options out there.)
802 * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an
803 external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID
804 from the external journal's filesystem list.
806 * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas
807 Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size
808 given a filesystem size.
810 * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as
813 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block
814 to find the correct block to read the journal superblock.
816 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
818 * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply
819 adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene
820 created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX".
822 * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by
823 using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also
824 changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it
825 simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must
826 have been created via separate step.
828 * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping
829 information about an external journal device.
831 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
833 * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4,
834 for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and
835 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be
836 has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between
837 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the
838 filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to
839 the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all
840 of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot.
842 * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option.
844 * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush
845 stdout after printing in-progress message.
846 (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine
847 the mount status of the device.
849 2001-01-11 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
851 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c,
852 uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in
853 tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of
854 the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the
855 logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted.
857 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and
860 * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t.
862 2001-01-08 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
864 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs,
865 using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be
866 (more) safely used on mounted filesystems.
868 2001-01-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
870 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function
873 * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for
874 portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall
877 * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern.
879 * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including
880 an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs().
882 2001-01-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
884 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate
885 functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal
886 while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting
887 a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables.
889 * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question,
890 check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount):
891 Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs.
893 * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to
894 ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming.
896 2001-01-01 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
898 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to
899 struct ext2_super_block.
901 * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be
902 cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or
903 mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct
904 ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed
905 for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're
906 using our own version now).
908 2000-12-31 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
910 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and
911 UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic
912 can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root
913 filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with
914 the parallel_root option.
916 * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of
919 * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic
920 flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero.
922 * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for
923 decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add
924 support for the journaled data flag.
926 * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag.
928 2000-12-30 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
930 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit.
932 * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option.
933 (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal.
935 2000-12-28 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
937 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device
940 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where
941 base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name,
942 instead of core dumping.
944 2000-12-09 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
946 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1
947 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the
948 journal creation routines for this purpose.
950 * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the
951 executable image. (Are we excited yet?)
953 * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to
954 get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-)
956 2000-12-03 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
958 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of
959 base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated
962 * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which
963 now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181)
965 * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c
967 2000-12-02 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
969 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno
970 of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug
973 * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the
974 console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to
975 so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an
976 fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug
979 * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and
980 group names to uid's before storing them in the
981 superblock. (Debian bug #67446)
983 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
985 * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses
986 option=argument style options, and add support for
987 creating filesystems with external journals.
989 * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option.
991 2000-11-05 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
993 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to
994 a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw.
996 2000-10-24 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
998 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s
999 handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated
1002 * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16
1005 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD
1006 devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with
1009 * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j
1010 option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3
1013 2000-10-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1015 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95
1018 2000-09-12 <tytso@valinux.com>
1020 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those
1021 systems with four IDE interfaces.
1023 2000-09-11 <tytso@valinux.com>
1025 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector
1028 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing
1029 the inode table location in non-hex format.
1031 2000-08-20 <tytso@valinux.com>
1033 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if
1034 we can't find the device using the name given by
1035 /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled
1036 into the kernel, but not mounted.)
1038 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolabs.com>
1040 * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option
1041 to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for
1042 location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors
1044 * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict
1046 2000-08-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1048 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general
1050 (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to
1051 avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.
1053 2000-07-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1055 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in
1056 fsck, and speed up fsck -a.
1058 2000-07-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1060 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19
1062 2000-07-13 <tytso@snap.thunk.org>
1064 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options
1065 are mutually exclusive.
1067 * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the
1068 block count must be specified if the starting block is to
1069 be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in
1072 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing
1073 variable before going into the write verification loop.
1074 This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block
1075 on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal
1076 while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The
1077 num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get
1078 clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no
1079 longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup
1082 * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size).
1083 Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option
1084 to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing
1085 the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf
1088 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1090 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as
1091 fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of
1092 the progress bar display logic.
1094 * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if
1095 max_mount_count is negative.
1097 * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be
1098 negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a
1101 * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation
1102 for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root
1103 privileges if the partitions need to be scanned.
1104 Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for
1105 removeable devices such as floppies if there are any
1106 LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab.
1108 * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem
1109 is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive
1110 test. This can be overriden using the new -f option.
1112 * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the
1113 blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly
1114 document the start-block parameter. Added documentation
1117 * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be
1118 optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the
1119 device as a default.
1121 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1123 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that
1124 it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few
1125 potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the
1126 old, overly complicated logic.
1127 (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and
1128 always forces a sync; this is required before it's really
1129 safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels.
1131 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1133 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the
1134 filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a
1135 size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid
1136 argument while passed to ext2 library" error message.
1138 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1140 * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID=
1141 or LABEL= specification is given.
1143 * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if
1144 the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it.
1145 (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files
1146 to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason
1147 that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype
1148 feature for the forseeable future, either.)
1150 * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of
1151 proceed_question that was busted due to the
1152 internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if
1153 proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't
1154 cleared of the previous question's newline.
1156 Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@signal.thunk.org>
1158 * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't
1159 support fdatasync().
1161 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1163 * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c,
1164 uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h,
1165 manually define optarg and optind.
1167 * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David
1170 * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We
1171 now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a
1172 longjmp to a deactivated stack frame.
1173 (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.
1175 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in,
1176 mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail
1178 chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
1180 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1183 * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number".
1185 * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo.
1187 * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse).
1189 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of
1190 blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine.
1192 * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1193 Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and
1194 #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header
1195 file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset
1198 * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static.
1199 The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer.
1200 Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive.
1202 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1204 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c,
1205 fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
1206 mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c,
1207 uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as
1208 suggested by Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>.
1210 * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David
1211 Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays
1212 removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is
1213 clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old
1214 code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it
1215 was interrupted at the wrong time.)
1217 * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.
1219 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1221 * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret
1222 a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=",
1223 and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is
1224 readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc
1225 perhaps not being mounted, and exit.
1227 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of
1228 linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary.
1230 * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h
1232 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1234 * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly
1235 document the -s option.
1237 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1239 * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie <dbeattie@usa.net>.
1240 Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions
1241 (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead
1242 of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie:
1244 "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few
1245 other features. The non-destructive write testing,
1246 triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test
1247 patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the
1248 disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives
1249 a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable.
1250 Finally, the original data is written back.
1252 To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c
1253 blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks
1254 to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this
1255 default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also
1256 affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only
1257 mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and
1258 non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it
1259 makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun
1260 available RAM...I would have liked to implement and
1261 auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's
1262 even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a
1263 Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that
1264 didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once
1265 affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is
1266 processing the whole disk at once, anyway.
1268 I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard
1269 drive using random test data than patterned test data, so
1270 my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer
1273 I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl
1274 BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program.
1276 Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the
1277 usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h"
1278 option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you
1279 want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something
1280 other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive,
1281 and want the host hard drive to flush.
1283 I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i",
1284 similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of
1285 already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those
1286 blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my
1287 computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a
1288 half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the
1289 hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying
1290 when you already know the block is bad from a previous
1293 Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option:
1294 "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired,
1295 persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a
1296 user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no
1297 new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see
1298 behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be
1299 found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective
1300 areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again
1301 until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps
1302 this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to
1303 zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used
1304 "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used
1305 "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more
1306 hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been
1307 completely reliable.
1309 Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p",
1310 I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether
1311 bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the
1312 "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it,
1313 but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just
1314 for your information.
1316 In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a
1317 non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler
1318 which I install which will write back whatever original
1319 disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals
1320 (except SIGKILL, of course).
1322 Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in
1323 the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at
1324 manual page modification; if you decide my patch to
1325 badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I
1326 could learn how to update the manpage and other
1327 documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising
1328 your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the
1329 command-line parameters should be called and which ones
1330 should be in the distribution."
1332 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1334 * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow
1335 interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do
1336 interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!)
1338 1999-11-23 <tytso@valinux.com>
1340 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem
1341 option is properly named.
1343 1999-11-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1345 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and
1346 int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef
1347 sparc to #ifdef __sparc__.
1349 1999-11-19 <tytso@valinux.com>
1351 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from
1352 the source directory.
1354 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1356 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18
1358 1999-11-10 <tytso@valinux.com>
1360 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option
1361 filesystem option is properly named.
1363 1999-11-04 <tytso@valinux.com>
1365 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before
1366 the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use
1367 fsck -As can do so interactively.
1369 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1371 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17
1373 1999-10-26 <tytso@valinux.com>
1375 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the
1376 environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then
1377 force all fsck runs to happen in parallel.
1379 * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code
1380 used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may
1381 contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char *
1382 typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char.
1384 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char *
1385 variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults.
1386 (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid
1389 * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h,
1390 add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare
1391 functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak
1392 in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking
1395 * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we
1396 can successfully compile even with warnings turned on.
1398 1999-10-25 <tytso@valinux.com>
1400 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types
1402 (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability
1403 reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef
1404 HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons.
1406 * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list
1407 management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into
1410 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1412 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16
1414 1999-10-22 <tytso@valinux.com>
1416 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to
1417 set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags.
1418 Currently, the only ones which are supported for
1419 modification are sparse_superblock and filetype.
1421 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to
1422 request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By
1423 default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that
1424 have both file type information and sparse superblocks.
1426 1999-10-21 <tytso@valinux.com>
1428 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in,
1429 fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in,
1430 tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard
1431 format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as
1432 suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca)
1434 1999-10-14 <tytso@valinux.com>
1436 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding
1437 changing the sparse superblock option
1439 * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a
1440 second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance
1441 to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an
1444 1999-09-15 <tytso@valinux.com>
1446 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the
1447 number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson.
1449 1999-09-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1451 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann
1454 * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2
1457 * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs.
1458 Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s
1461 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h
1464 1999-08-13 <tytso@valinux.com>
1466 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse
1469 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@valinux.com>
1471 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15
1473 1999-07-18 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1475 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows
1476 the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used.
1477 Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically
1478 based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use
1479 of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes
1480 through the calculations to determine the parameters of
1481 the filesystem the system would make.
1483 1999-07-18 <tytso@valinux.com>
1485 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will
1486 automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will
1487 print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems
1488 are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one
1489 e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time.
1491 1999-07-08 <tytso@valinux.com>
1493 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs
1494 on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when
1495 using blocksizes larger than 1k.
1497 1999-07-03 <tytso@valinux.com>
1499 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a
1500 time-based UUID or a random-based UUID.
1502 1999-07-02 <tytso@valinux.com>
1504 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for
1505 the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount
1506 programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck
1507 -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so
1508 that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if
1509 the filesystem appears to be mounted.
1511 * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and
1512 UUID=bar type specifications.
1514 1999-07-01 <tytso@valinux.com>
1516 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to
1517 clear out a large block number.
1519 1999-06-29 <tytso@valinux.com>
1521 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it
1522 appears mounted if the force option is given.
1524 1999-06-24 <tytso@valinux.com>
1526 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks
1527 command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section.
1529 1999-05-02 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1531 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor
1534 1999-05-20 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1536 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which
1537 allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and
1538 blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly
1539 useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem.
1541 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca>
1543 * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to
1546 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1548 * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer
1549 when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab.
1551 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1553 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes
1554 in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab.
1555 Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by
1556 the FSTAB_FILE environment variable.
1558 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1560 * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the
1561 MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync
1562 every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out
1563 the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the
1564 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able
1565 to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel.
1567 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1569 * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they
1570 accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute
1571 flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the
1572 fsck pass structure.
1573 (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print
1574 debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs
1577 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1579 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14
1581 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1583 * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A
1586 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1588 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it
1589 needs to be treated as zero.
1591 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1593 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify
1594 exactly how many inodes he/she wishes.
1596 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the
1597 program if the -V option is given.
1599 * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent
1600 through a directory.
1602 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1604 * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines
1605 are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the
1607 (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the
1608 filesystem which we are checking (user request).
1610 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1612 * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for
1613 compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files.
1615 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1617 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13
1619 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1621 * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_
1622 seperated", instead of common separated)
1624 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1626 * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies.
1628 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1630 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of
1631 relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of
1632 allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly.
1634 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1636 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff.
1638 * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10
1639 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that
1640 things look nice on an 80 character display.
1642 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1644 * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage
1647 1998-07-09 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1649 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.12
1651 1998-07-04 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1653 * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now
1654 being written by e2fsprogs.
1656 1998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1658 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp.
1660 * chattr.c (fatal_error):
1661 * tune2fs.c (usage):
1663 * dumpe2fs.c (usage):
1664 * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration.
1666 * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't
1667 trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is,
1670 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1672 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number
1675 1998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1677 * fsck.c (ignore): Remove check for filesystems with the noauto
1680 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1682 * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables
1683 convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into
1684 account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs
1685 target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the
1686 cat directory in /usr/man/cat?.
1688 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1690 * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function.
1692 * e2label.c: Fix -Wall warning by making functions static.
1694 1998-03-28 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1696 * chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may

1702 * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that
1703 labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will
1706 * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is
1707 longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating
1708 that the label will be truncated.
1710 * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and
1711 it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a
1712 warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.

1727 of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or
1730 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with
1731 bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the

1746 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1747 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be
1748 an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is
1751 Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1753 * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void,

1759 * mklost+found.c (main):
1761 * dumpe2fs.c (main):
1763 * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required.
1764 Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some

1782 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when
1783 displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over
1784 80 columns when making a really big disk.
1786 Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1788 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in,
1789 mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer
1790 oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
1792 * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks
1793 command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the
1794 case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096.
1796 Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>

1800 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1802 * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options.
1803 Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which
1804 specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is
1805 used to aid in the placement of the inode and block
1808 * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse
1809 superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels.
1811 Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o <tytso@localhost.mit.edu>
1813 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not
1814 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13
1817 Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1819 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.09
1821 Fri Apr 11 18:57:24 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>

1841 set and reset the sparse superblock flag.
1843 * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision
1844 filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the
1845 sparse superblock flag is set.
1846 (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true
1847 maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the
1850 Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

1873 This caused the inode table to not be correctly
1876 Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1878 * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy().
1880 * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32.
1882 Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1884 * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that

1917 mostly for debugging.
1919 Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
1921 * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8.

1932 and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca)
1934 Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1937 * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume
1938 label, the -M option which sets the last mounted
1939 directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID.
1942 * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the
1943 creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if
1944 applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets
1945 the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last
1948 Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card <card@bbj.linux.eu.org>
1950 * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to
1951 avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used
1952 and no version number is specified.
1954 Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1956 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04
1958 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1960 * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2

1965 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03
1967 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1969 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to
1970 specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem.
1972 Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1974 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page.
1976 * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode
1979 Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1981 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the
1982 parallel root option. This allows you to check the root
1983 filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note
1984 that this is not the safest thing in the world to do,
1985 since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like
1986 the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some
1987 sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root
1988 filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this
1991 Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1993 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02
1995 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
1997 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they
1998 are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda
2001 Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2003 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are
2004 serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't
2005 finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there
2006 are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch
2007 submitted by Mike Jagdis)
2009 Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2011 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to
2014 Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2016 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a
2017 stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases.
2019 Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2021 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed.
2023 Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2025 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(),
2026 so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted
2027 *before* we try to determine the size of the device.
2029 Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2031 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in
2034 Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 <tytso@rsts-11.mit.edu>
2036 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted()
2037 function to determine if the device is mounted.
2039 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new
2040 ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine
2041 the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and
2042 is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called.
2044 Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2046 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user
2047 and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has
2048 specified exactly one type before using it as the type to
2051 Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2060 * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number.
2062 Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2064 * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group
2065 names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe
2066 ANDRE <progfou@mycrob.cafard.freenix.fr>.
2069 * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-)
2071 Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2073 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by
2074 EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the
2075 blocksize is always 1024 bytes.
2077 Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2079 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is
2080 not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must
2081 take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory;
2082 passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not
2085 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc):
2086 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() ---
2087 alloca is not portable!
2089 * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the
2090 user using the -t option, let it override the type in
2093 * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it.
2095 Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl)
2097 * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include <sys/types.h> for <dirent.h>'s
2100 * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin.
2102 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2103 tune2fs.c: Don't include <getopt.h> if it doesn't exist.
2105 Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@dcl>
2107 * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c,
2108 tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined.
2110 Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@lurch.mit.edu>
2112 * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno
2114 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined,
2115 explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL.
2117 * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files
2119 Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader <miles@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>
2121 * mke2fs.c: Only include <linux/fs.h> if we can.
2122 (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined.
2123 (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if
2124 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2126 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if
2127 HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure).
2128 (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a
2129 statically sized buffer.
2130 (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of
2131 having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway).
2133 * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a
2134 filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer.
2135 * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto.
2136 * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the
2137 path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have).
2139 * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them.
2140 (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally
2141 syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code.
2142 (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs().
2145 * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and
2146 support separate compilation directories.
2148 Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@localhost>
2150 * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function
2151 zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the
2152 filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being
2153 misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem.
2155 * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space
2156 allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the
2157 display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a
2158 very large partition.
2160 * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to
2161 ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device,
2162 spurious seek errors aren't reported.
2164 * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t
2165 instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems
2166 greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only
2167 called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE
2168 ioctl, which most do.)
2170 * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass
2171 number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at
2172 during 0.5b development.)
2174 Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2176 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new
2177 option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group
2178 descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the
2179 superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch
2182 Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in
2183 alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end
2184 anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.)
2186 Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu>
2188 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed.
2190 * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to
2191 extract the exit status. In other cases, return
2192 FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal.
2194 Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2196 * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the
2198 Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval.
2200 Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2202 * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old
2203 /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that
2204 all partitions should be checked.
2206 Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11)
2208 * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap
2211 * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by
2214 Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj>
2216 * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options:
2217 -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid.
2219 Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11)
2221 * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem.
2223 Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj)
2225 * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the
2228 (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available.
2230 * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes.

2240 * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is
2241 where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so,
2242 print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that
2243 they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted
2244 twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.)
2246 (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block
2247 statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This
2248 allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor
2249 statistics if necessary.
