As recently discussed on linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org add an option to e2fsck
to allow to replay the journal only. That will allow scripts, such as
pacemakers 'Filesystem' RA to first replay the journal and if that sets
an error state from the journal replay, further check for that error
(dumpe2fh -h | grep "Filesystem state:") and if that shows and error
to refuse to mount. It also allows automatic e2fsck scripts to first
replay the journal and on a second run after the real pass1 to passX checks
to test for the return code.

If the user specifies "e2fsck -j UUID=XXX", e2fsck should do blkid
interpretation, since e2fsck does it with the base file system name.
So from the sake of consistency and user convenience, we should do it
here too.

The boolean options "force_no" in the problems stanza of e2fsck.conf
allows a particular problem code be treated as if the user will answer
"no" to the question of whether a particular problem should be fixed
--- even if e2fsck is run with the -y option.
As an example use case, suppose a distribution had widely deployed a
version of the kernel where under some circumstances, the EOFBLOCKS_FL
flag would be left set even though it should not be left set, and a
customer had a workload which exercised the fencepost error all the
time, resulting in many large number of inodes that had EOFBLOCKS_FL
set erroneously. Enough, in fact, the e2fsck runs were taking too
long. (There was such a bug in the kernel, which was fixed by commit
58590b06d in 2.6.36).
Leaving EOFBLOCKS_FL set when it should not be isn't a huge deal, and
is certainly than having high availability timeout alerts going off
left and right. So in this case, the best fix might be to put the
following in /etc/e2fsck.conf:
[problems]
0x010060 = { # PR_1_EOFBLOCKS_FL_SET
force_no = true
no_ok = true
no_nomsg = true
}

When running dumpe2fs on a filesystem formatted with flex_bg, it
prints out the relative offsets for the bitmaps and inode table
badly on 64-bit systems, because the offset is computed as a
large positive number instead of being a negative numer (which
will not be printed at all):
Group 1: (Blocks 0x8000-0xffff) [INODE_UNINIT, ITABLE_ZEROED]
Block bitmap at 0x0102 (+4294934786), Inode bitmap at 0x0202 (+4294935042)
Inode table at 0x037e-0x03fa (+4294935422)
This commit prints out the relative offsets for flex_bg
groups as the offset within the reported group. This makes it
more clear where the metadata is located, rather than simply
printing some large negative number.
Group 1: (Blocks 0x8000-0xffff) [INODE_UNINIT, ITABLE_ZEROED]
Block bitmap at 0x0102 (bg #0 +258), Inode bitmap at 0x0202 (bg #0 +514)

If the user passes a file system type which is not defined in
mke2fs.conf (i.e., mke2fs -t xfs ...) change mke2fs so that it prints
a warning and aborts the run. (There is an exception for ext2, since
that file system does not need a special definition in the fs_types
section of the /etc/mke2fs.conf file.)
In addition, print a warning if there are usage types (specified using
the -T option) which are not defined in /etc/mke2fs.conf.

The dependency definitions for DEPSTATIC_LIBBLKID and

This fixes two possible causes for the error message:
WARNING: PROGRAMMING BUG IN E2FSCK!
OR SOME BONEHEAD (YOU) IS CHECKING A MOUNTED (LIVE) FILESYSTEM.
inode_link_info[X] is Y, inode.i_links_count is Z. They should be the same!
One cause which can trigger this message is when an inode has an
illegal link count > 65500 --- for example, 65535. This was the case
in the Debian Bug report #555456.
Another cause which could trigger this message is if an ext4 directory
previously had more than 65000 subdirectories (thus causing
i_link_count to be set to 1), but then some of the subdirectories were
deleted, such that i_link_count should now be the actual number of
subdirectories.

It would be nice to have consistent "discard" options in every system
tool (mount, fsck, mkfs) taking advantage of discards. Also "discard"
and "nodiscard" is more descriptive instead of just "-K" and can be
easily defaulted and it is something we can not do with "-K".
With this commit you need to specify extended option like this:
./mke2fs -T <fstype> -E nodiscard <device>
in order make a filesystem without discarding the device first. And
./mke2fs -T <fstype> -E discard <device>
respectively.
-K option is with this commit deprecated and should not be used anymore.

If MKE2FS_DEVICE_SECTSIZE is set, then this will override the logical
sector size, which is the smallest sector size that can be written
atomically by the device. (Previously MKE2FS_DEVICE_SECTSIZE set the
physical sector size, which was incorrect given its historical usage.)
The environment variable MKE2FS_DEVICE_PHYS_SECTSIZE will set the
physical sector size, which is the actual sector size used by the
device in reality.
The logical sector size is always less than or equal to the physical
sector size; and writes smaller than the physical sector size but
greather than or equal to the logical sector size will cause a
read-modify-write cycle within the device firmware (or in some
abstract layer lower than the Linux block I/O subsystem, at any rate).
Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
If the device does not have an explicitly specified minimum io_size or
optimal io_size, and the physical sector size is greater than the
block size, then use the physical sector size as a better-than-nothing
hint.
This should help for SSD's that have a physical sector size of 8k or
16k (which are reportedly will be coming soon).

There will be SSD's out soon that have 8k or 16k phyiscal block sizes.
So don't enforce a requirement that the block size be less than the
physical block size unless the force option is given, and don't give a
warning if the user can't do anything about it (i.e., if the physical
block size is > than the page size).

This adds the basic support for Direct I/O to unix_io.c, and adds a

Note that device mapper devices in Linux don't support Direct I/O, and
in some circumstances using Direct I/O can actually make performance
*worse*!

This bit of the mke2fs manpage is slightly confusing:

Specify the size of blocks in bytes. <snip>
If block-size is negative, then mke2fs will use heuristics

that the block size will be at least block-size bytes.
because it sounds like the block size will be at least a negative
number. Clarify just what the negative sign means.
