(Addresses Debian bug: #392107). Add error checking so that "-r 0 -j", "-r 0 -s 1", and "-r 0 -E resize=XXX" will print an explanatory error message and abort. 2006-10-03 Theodore Tso * badblocks.c: Fix the interpretation of the last_block parameter on the command line, and adjust the last block count displays in the progress messages. (Addresses Debian Bug #386475) 2006-10-02 Theodore Tso * util.c (figure_journal_size): Increase the smallest default journal size from 1024 to 1400 to make sure it is big enough for on-line resizing. 2006-10-01 Theodore Tso * Makefile.in (DEPLIBBLKID): Use DEPLIBBLKID not LIBBLKID to define the dependencies used by the blkid library. 2006-09-29 Theodore Tso * Makefile.in: Fix makefile so that it is robust if the e2fsck directory hasn't been built yet.

Addresses Debian Bug #373004) 2006-08-30 Theodore Tso * tune2fs.c (main), mke2fs.c (PRS): Use e2p_percent to properly calculate the number of reserved blocks without worrying about overflow. * Makefile.in (resize2fs): Remove unused (and bogus) resize2fs rule, which shouldn't be in misc/Makefile.in * mke2fs.c (parse_extended_opts): Use ext2fs_div_ceil() instead of a using an open-coded expression which was subject to overflows. * filefrag.c (div_ceil, frag_report): Fix potential overflow for really big filesystems. 2006-08-06 Theodore Tso * findsuper.c (main): Improve findsuper program by printing the uuid and label from the superblocks, as well as the starting and ending offsets of the filesystem given the information in the superblock. Omit by default printing superblocks that are likely found in located in an ext3 journal unless an explicit -j option is given. 2006-08-05 Theodore Tso * mke2fs.c (PRS), util.c (check_mount): In order to force mke2fs to create a filesystem even though it appears to be in use or mounted, the -F (force) flag must be specified twice. * filefrag.c: Change EXT3_EXTENTS_FL to EXT4_EXTENTS_FL 2006-07-15 Theodore Tso * mke2fs.c (PRS): Look up the default inode size in the mke2fs.conf file. * mke2fs.8.in, mke2fs.c(usage): Document the -I option. * mke2fs.conf.5.in: Document the inode_size relation in [defaults] and [fs_types]. * chattr.1.in: Fix spelling typo 2006-05-29 Theodore Tso * filefrag.c: Add support for ancient Linux systems that do not support the LFS api. 2006-05-28 Theodore Tso * mke2fs.8.in (types): Clarify -T option description. 2006-05-22 Theodore Tso * mke2fs.conf: Make new filesystems with the following features by default: dir_index and resize_inode. * mke2fs.conf.5.in: Fix spelling mistakes (Addresses Debian Bug: #368394) 2006-05-14 Theodore Tso * tune2fs.8.in: Clarify how the -c and -C options work. * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Don't give a confusing error message if the user specifies an check time interval greater than a year; it's probably a bad idea, but it's not worth it to complain. 2006-05-13 Theodore Tso * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the private option -X to badblocks so that mke2fs -cc works again. (Addresses Debian bug: #366017) * badblocks.c (main, check_mount): Add a private option, -X, which is only intended for use by mke2fs and e2fsck to signal that it's OK to skip the EXT2_MF_BUSY test since mke2fs and e2fsck already have the block device opened exclusively (and therefore no one else does). 2006-05-08 Theodore Tso * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables, setup_lazy_bg, main): Add support for the COMPAT_LAZY_BG feature. This is currently intended for debugging purposes only, as a way to create very large filesystems stored on sparse files for testing purposes. * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Print out the block group flags if they are set. 2006-04-22 Theodore Ts'o * filefrag.c: Make filefrag 32-bit clean, so that it works on filesystems > 8TB. 2006-03-29 Theodore Ts'o * dumpe2fs.c (print_inline_journal_information): Print the size of the journal. 2006-03-27 Theodore Ts'o * badblocks.8.in: Fix typo's in man page.

Make sure the compressed version of the man pages are deleted when installing the man pages. 2006-03-23 Theodore Ts'o * mklost+found.c (main): Use a larger counter field so that we can create enough directory entries that we can make a full lost+found directory with larger block sizes. * mke2fs.conf, mke2fs.conf.5.in: New configuration file which when installed, provides mke2fs's old behaviour. It makes it easier for distributions to change which filesystem options are the default. * mke2fs.8.in: Update man page to document how the filesystem features are now set. * mke2fs.c: Radically rework how the filesystem features are set when creating filesystems. Use the profile library to read in a configuration file from /etc/mke2fs.conf. * util.c (figure_journal_size): If the journal size is 0, assume the journal size is unspecified and figure out the approriate journal size instead of bombing out with an error message. * Makefile.in: Build and install the mke2fs.conf(5) man page. Add profile.o from the e2fsck directory to mke2fs executable. Install the configuration file /etc/mke2fs.conf. 2006-03-18 Theodore Ts'o * dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c, mke2fs.c: Change printf statements to use %u instead of %d when printing block numbers. * mke2fs.c (main): Open the filesystem in exclusive mode while we are initializing it. 2005-12-31 Theodore Ts'o * chattr.1.in: Add notes in the man page to make sure the reader refers to the BUGS AND LIMITATIONS section so that even an idiot will be able to see that some of these attributes are not yet implemented.

(Addresses SourceForge Bug #1177804) 2005-03-21 Theodore Ts'o * Release of E2fsprogs 1.37 2005-03-21 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Call ext2fs_write_new_inode() instead of ext2fs_write_inode(). 2005-03-19 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Use the new e2p_os2string() function 2005-03-18 Theodore Ts'o * filefrag.c (frag_report): Automatically detect files that are stored using the new experimental file fragments format, and use the non-ext2 algorithm for determing the number of extents. Avoid reporting a false discontinuity if there is a non-allocated block (or extent) at the beginning of the file. 2006-02-05 Theodore Ts'o * Release of E2fsprogs 1.36 2005-02-04 Theodore Ts'o * filefrag.c (frag_report): In verbose mode, print the first and last block numbers; may be useful for some folks. 2005-02-03 Theodore Ts'o * tune2fs.c: Define _XOPEN_SOURCE to be 500 to fix compilation problems on Solaris. 2005-01-28 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (main): Only call create_resize_inode if the resize feature is actually enabled. 2005-01-27 Theodore Ts'o * blkid.c (main, compare_search_type): Make blkid -t work more consistently when the blkid cache file is explicitly set to /dev/null. (Addresses Debian Bug #292425) * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't use a blocksize greater than 4k, even on 2.6 kernels, unless explicitly requested by the user; not all 2.6 kernels (includeing stock 2.6 kernels as of this writing) don't support blocksizes > 4k. * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the device size is too big to be expressed using a 1k blocksize, retry with a 4k blocksize.

But glibc requires _XOPEN_SOURCE in order for strptime() to be defined. So don't define _XOPEN_SOURCE on Solaris systems. * filefrag.c (frag_report): Applied patch from Francois Petillon (fantec at proxad.net) to avoid a file descriptor leak. 2005-01-06 Theodore Ts'o * badblocks.c (alarm_intr): Increase the number of spaces reserved for printing block numbers, so we can correctly display block numbers numbers greater than 999,999,999. (Addresses SourceForge bug #1016163) * tune2fs.c (main): When specifying the number of reservered blocks that can only be allocated by root, enforce a 50% limit so that the user can't accidentally make a superblock which e2fsck will think is insane. 2005-01-05 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c (PRS): Apply Fedora's e2fsprogs-1.35-progress.patch from e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2. Fixed multiple command-line parsing bugs so that backwards compatibility is maintained, and so that certain command-line options wouldn't be ignored. * mke2fs.c (parse_extended_opts): Rename the -R option to -E. Fix the resize= raid/extended option so it actually works. (The patch from Fedora e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2 claimed it worked, but it was a placebo option, despite the claim that it worked in the usage message.) * e2initrd_helper.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits. * e2image.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall nits. Fix e2image so that e2image -I has an exit code of 0 when it is successful. * mke2fs.c (PRS, parse_r_opts): Use parse_num_blocks() from the e2p library to parse the number of blocks from the command line. 2004-12-23 Theodore Ts'o * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): If reserved GDT blocks are present, display them along with the other filesystem meta blocks. 2004-12-22 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c (main): Check return from malloc of fsck_path string. 2004-12-21 Theodore Ts'o * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Fix minor buglet; the parse_time routine should use the passed-in argument, not optarg, even though the two are the same in the case of the current caller of said function. 2004-12-15 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c: Applied resize inode patch from Andreas Dilger to add support for creating filesystems with reserved space for on-line expansion. 2004-12-14 Theodore Ts'o * Makefile.in: Move strip command to install-strip target.

(Addresses Debian Bug #252836) * tune2fs.8.in: Add a description of the .journal file, why it is created, and how e2fsck converts it to an invisible journal. (Addresses Debian Bug #256760) 2004-09-18 Theodore Ts'o * e2initrd_helper.c: New program which allows initrd scripts to check on the contents of /etc/fstab without (a) needing to mount the root filesystem, and (b) needing /bin/awk in the initrd environment. (Addresses Debian Bug #247775) 2004-09-17 Theodore Ts'o * tune2fs.8.in: Mention that e2fsck -D might be useful after setting the dir_index filesystem feature. (Addresses Debian Bug #268148) 2004-07-28 Theodore Ts'o * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add new option -I which allows the administrator to install an metadata stored in an e2image file to a filesystem. Obviously, this can be very dangerous! 2004-06-25 Theodore Ts'o * Makefile.in (mke2fs.static): Add the blkid library to so mke2fs.static builds correctly. 2004-04-11 Theodore Ts'o * tune2fs.8.in: Fixed spelling error (Addresses Debian Bug #242995) * mke2fs.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the '-O' option.

(Addresses Debian bug #234828) 2004-02-21 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c (execute): Use '&&' instead of '&'. (It didn't cause a problem because we got lucky, but let's do things right. Fix from Thomas Woerner at Red Hat.) 2004-02-03 Theodore Ts'o * filefrag.c: Use #ifdef __linux__ instead of __LINUX__ so that it actually compiles on Linux.

(Addresses Debian bug #222606) 2003-12-25 Theodore Ts'o * Makefile.in: Add filefrag program to the list of programs installed in /usr/sbin. 2003-12-11 Theodore Ts'o * tune2fs.8.in: Fix some whitespace errors in the command synopsis. 2003-12-07 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix mke2fs -V so that it prints the version banner. * badblocks.c, blkid.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, fsck.c, fsck.h, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, nls-enable.h, tune2fs.c, util.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks. 2003-09-13 Theodore Ts'o * tune2fs.c (parse_e2label_options, parse_tune2fs_options, do_findfs): Check the returned name from blkid_get_devname and print an error if the requested LABEL/UUID does not exist. 2003-09-03 Theodore Ts'o * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Use ext2fs_super_and_bgd_loc to determine the locations of the superblock and block group descriptors. 2003-11-20 Theodore Ts'o * util.c (check_plausibility): Support 2.6 kernel header files, instead of having the build to crash. (Addresses Debian bug #221778) 2003-09-01 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (progress_init, progress_update): If the environment variable MKE2FS_SKIP_PROGRESS is set, then don't print out a progress bar; for regression test support. (PRS): If the environment variable MKE2FS_DEVICE_SECTSIZE is set, then override the device sector size. Again for regression test support. (main): If the environment variable MKE2FS_SKIP_CHECK_MSG is set, then skip printing an information messages about when the filesystem will be checked, since this number is random and screws up the regression test expect script. 2003-08-31 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): Fix bug which caused -T largefile or -T largefile4 to core dump due to a division by zero error. (Addressed Debian bug #207082) 2003-08-24 Theodore Ts'o * dumpe2fs.8.in, e2image.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Adjust description line so that apropos "ext2" or "ext3" will find the man page. (Addresses Debian Bug #206845) 2003-08-01 Theodore Ts'o * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Add check to make sure the file offset of the device is page aligned. (Addresses Debian Bug #203713) * badblocks.c (test_ro, test_rw): Add code to recover after an error so that we continue reading on page-aligned boundaries. (Thanks to Philippe Troin for the patch.) 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o * Release of E2fsprogs 1.34 2003-07-25 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add warning if using -j and the blocksize is greater than 4096, since some kernels don't support ext3 with large block sizes. (Addresses Debian bug #193773) * badblocks.c (set_o_direct): Remove debugging printf. (Addresses Debian bug #201499) 2003-07-21 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c (wait_many): Rename wait_all() to wait_many(), and have new semantics: WAIT_ALL vs. WAIT_ATLEAST_ONE. This fixes a bug where when fsck is waiting for another partition on the same spindle, it spins wasting a lot of CPU. 2003-07-12 Theodore Ts'o * badblocks.c (do_read, do_write, test_rw): Change the read/write test to honor the -c option (number of blocks at a time). do_read and do_write will try to turn on the O_DIRECT flag if it appears that it is possible to use it. (Addresses Debian bug #198006) * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): If sector_size is 0, don't use it to set the blocksize to zero. This causes MD devices to fail since they don't support the BLKSSZGET ioctl. (Addresses Debian bug #196734) 2003-07-06 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (PRS, main): If CONFIG_TESTIO_DEBUG, then use the testio manager. * mke2fs.c (PRS): Round down the default filesystem size so that it is an even multiple of the page size, to work around buffer cache kernel bug. * badblocks.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (signed/unsigned type issues) * blkid.c: Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks (missing #include ) 2003-05-21 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): If the sector size of the device is larger than the default block size, then use the sector size of the device as the default block size. 2003-05-18 Theodore Ts'o * badblocks.c: Use an unsigned integer to support 4-byte test patterns with the high bit set. Let the user explicitly specify a random pattern with the argument "random". 2003-05-07 Theodore Ts'o * badblocks.c (test_rw): Fix minor memory leak with test_rw() is called for multiple passes. (test_nd): Fix bug in chosing randomness for the non-destructive test. We were only using 1 bit of randomness per byte instead of 8 due to a bit-shift bug. Also, initialize the random number generator from the time in main(). Thanks to Thayne Harbaugh for pointing out these bugs. * badblocks.c, badblocks.8.in: Functional enhancements contributed by Thayne Harbaugh. These patches allow the -t option to control the test pattern(s) used when checking the disk. Test patterns may be specified in all modes (r/w, r/o and non-destructive). 2003-05-05 Theodore Ts'o * tune2fs.c (main, add_journal_device, remove_journal_device): If --enable-testio-debug is set, then use the test_io manager so we can watch what tune2fs is doing. 2003-05-03 Theodore Ts'o * uuidgen.c (main): Add setup functions for NLS support. * e2image.c (write_header), mke2fs.c (PRS): Add missing space in displayed message. * badblocks.c (usage), findsuper.c (main), util.c (parse_journal_opts): Fix typo in usage string. * tune2fs.c (parse_time): Add portability code to work around lack of strptime(). * Makefile.in: Add $(LIBINTL) to the link line so we can support using the internal gettext library. * nls-enable.h: Add #ifndef protection around LOCALEDIR definition. 2003-04-21 Theodore Ts'o * Release of E2fsprogs 1.33 2003-04-18 Theodore Ts'o * Makefile.in (uuidgen): Avoid linking lsattr and chattr against libext2fs, and avoid linking blkid against any of the ext2 libraries. 2003-04-17 Theodore Ts'o * Makefile.in (fsck): Fsck does not need to linked against the ext2 libraries anymore. 2003-04-16 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c (main): Put stdout and stderr into non-buffered mode to avoid cosmetic problems when running fsck under logsave. * mke2fs.c (PRS): Avoid printing the version banner for mke2fs if the -q option is specified. (Addresses Debian bug #172716) * logsave.c: Add support for the -a option (only partially implemented previously). Always log the command-line and start and stop time to the log file. Add support for the -s option, which skips text bracketed between control-A and control-B characters. 2003-04-14 Theodore Ts'o * logsave.c: New program which saves the output of a command in a log file, even if the containing directory hasn't been mounted yet (in which case the it saves the output in memory until it can write out the logfile). 2003-04-11 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the argument to -b is negative, treat it as a minimum blocksize. (Feature requested by EVMS developers for mainframe DASD's that do not support 1k blocksizes.) * mke2fs.8.in: Document the -g option. (Addresses Debian bug #188318) * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug where mke2fs was incorrectly checking the argument to the -g option, if the default block size is used. (Addresses Debian bug #188319) * tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Document the dir_index filesystem feature which can be used with the -O option. 2003-04-06 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, interpret_type, fsck_device, ignore, main): Don't evaluate the filesystem type when loading the fstab file, since that might cause fsck to hang trying to read from a floppy disk. (Addresses Debian bug #187812) Add tmpfs and devpts to filesystems that should be ignored, and add jfs, reseirfs, and xfs as filesystems types where we should complain if we can't find the fsck program for that filesystem type. 2003-04-03 Theodore Ts'o * badblocks.c (bb_output): Flush output to the badblocks output file as bad blocks are discovered. 2003-03-25 Theodore Ts'o * chattr.1.in: Clarified the description of the 't' (no tail) attribute. (Addresses Debian bug #185945) 2003-03-14 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c: And #ifdef protection around #include of malloc.h 2003-03-13 Theodore Ts'o * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Include blocks from slow symbolic links in the raw image file. 2003-03-06 * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, parse_e2label_options): Allow the device name to be specified using LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx, since we're including the blkid library anyway. (Addresses Debian bugs #166048, #179671) * tune2fs.8.in, chattr.1.in: Minor man page fixes (Addresses Debian bugs #175233, #175113, and #170497) 2003-03-06 Theodore Tso * Makefile.in (DEPLIBS_BLKID): Use DEPLIBUUID, not LIBUUID to avoid depending on -lsocket on Solaris. 2003-03-01 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c, util.c, tune2fs.c, Makefile.in: Use the blkid library instead of the specialized functions in get-device-by-label.c and fstype.c. * base_device.c (base_device): Take a const char* as an argument. * blkid.c: Remove deprecated -d option, 2003-02-16 Theodore Ts'o * blkid.c: Update to reflect renaming of blkid_get_devname() to blkid_get_dev(), and blkid_get_token() to blkid_get_devname(). 2003-01-29 Theodore Ts'o * badblocks.8.in: Fix grammar nit. 2003-01-26 Theodore Ts'o * blkid.c (main): Modify blkid to use the new libblkid public interfaces. 2003-01-23 Theodore Ts'o * Makefile.in: Integrate in new blkid library. 2003-01-22 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c (parse_fstab_line, parse_escape): Add support for backslash escaping in /etc/fstab. (i.e., so that \040 will work.) 2002-11-12 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (PRS): Don't enable the dir_index feature by default; the ext2 code on 2.4 kernels (but not 2.2 kernels, and not the 2.4 ext3 code) accidentally had the backwards compatibility support for dir_indexing removed. 2002-11-09 Theodore Ts'o * Release of E2fsprogs 1.32 2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o * Release of E2fsprogs 1.31 2002-11-08 Theodore Ts'o * chattr.1.in: Update man page. 2002-10-31 Theodore Ts'o * Release of E2fsprogs 1.30 2002-11-01 Theodore Ts'o * chattr.c, chattr.1.in: Add support for a new inode flag, which is to be used for indicating the top of directory hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator. 2002-10-31 Theodore Ts'o * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Pay attention to partitions returned in /proc/partitions that begin with with the string "lvm". 2002-10-30 Theodore Ts'o * Makefile.in (install): Search all compression extensions when deleting old man pages. * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix bug in algorithm which determined which blocks are used as backup superblock and block group descriptors. * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug which checked the tmp pointer erreoneously (and needlessly). 2002-10-28 * fsck.c (main): Fix bug reported by Gregory Mutt. Multiple filesystems explicitly specified on the command line were not being checked in parallel, due to a logic bug introduced in to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment variable. 2002-10-25 Theodore Ts'o * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc, main): Make dumpe2fs more robust so that if there is an error reading the block/inode bitmaps, it will still print out the contents of the block group descriptors. 2002-10-20 Theodore Ts'o * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), mke2fs.c (PRS), e2image.c (mark_table_blocks): Add support for the meta_blockgroup filesystem format. 2002-10-15 * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (update_mntopts, main): Add new option 'o' which allows the system administrator to specify default mount options. 2002-10-13 Theodore Ts'o * get_device_by_label.c (read_partitions): Use a 16k buffer to read in /proc/partitions in one go. * badblocks.c, fsck.c, fstype.c, get_device_by_label.c, tune2fs.c: Fix gcc -Wall nits. 2002-10-11 Theodore Ts'o * mklost+found.c (main): Make sure the lost+found directory is created with 0700 permissions. 2002-10-02 Theodore Ts'o * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Handle a bad block in the inode table correctly. 2002-09-29 Theodore Ts'o * get_device_by_label.c: Applied sourceforge patch #613447, which adds support for reiserfs volumes for LABEL= and UUID= fstab entries. * badblocks.c (main): Appled sourceforge patch #600451, which addresses sourceforge bug #600388, by AEF. This allows badblocks to work correctly on read-only devices such as CD-ROM's, DVD's, etc. 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Clarify manual pages about using the caret ('^') character to negate feature sets when using the -O option. Define the has_journal feature to avoid confusion about what ^has_journal means. 2001-09-24 Theodore Tso * Release of E2fsprogs 1.29 2002-09-24 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c: If the bone-headed user enters the filename twice, the -R option which skips the root filesystem will skip all of them. (Addresses Debian bug #159423). Note! This is not a precedent for dealing intelligently with any other kind of doubled entry in /etc/fstab! 2002-09-22 root * mke2fs.c (main): Enable directory indexing by default. * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Allow directory indexing flag to be set. If so, set the default hash to be TEA, and initialize the hash seed to a random value. 2002-09-21 Theodore Ts'o * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Fix bug which caused LABEL='xxx' to not work correctly when using LVM. (Reversed sense of error check reported by ateeq@hotpop.com) 2001-08-31 Theodore Tso * Release of E2fsprogs 1.28 2002-08-17 Theodore Ts'o * findfs.8.in: New man page. * tune2fs.c (do_findfs): If tune2fs is executed with argv[0] set to findfs, then it will interpret argv[1] as one of LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx and translate it to a device name. * get_device_by_label.c (uuidcache_init): Moved code which interpreted /proc/partitions into read_partitions(), and then added support for interpreting /proc/evms/volumes in read_evms(). uuidcache_init() calls both read_evms() and read_partitions(). * mke2fs.8.in: Add a common usage of the -n option. (Addresses Debian Bug #146437) * fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the command line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102) * badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug #131350) * chattr.1.in: Document the compression attribute flags E, X, and Z, and explain that chattr can't set or set these flags. (Addresses Debian Bug #151990) * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page, and clarified text regarding options specifiers for -t option. (Addresses Debian bug #145044) * mke2fs.c (main): If there is a problem zeroing blocks at the end of the filesystem, don't abort mke2fs. Addresses Debian bug #155007. 2002-08-16 Theodore Ts'o * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Check for an extended attribute block before checking for has_valid_blocks. 2002-07-21 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.8.in: Document new fsck exit code, FSCK_CANCELED. * fsck.c: Trap SIGINT and SIGTERM, and relay it to all of the child fsck processes. 2002-07-14 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Clear the buffer *after* testing for the BSD sector label. Otherwise the first 512 bytes don't get zapped. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.) 2002-07-02 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.8.in: Cleaned up man page, and made it a bit more OS-agnostic. Addresses Debian bug #144621. Hope this makes the Hurd whiners happy. :-) 2002-06-28 Theodore Ts'o * chattr.1.in: Fix man page typo. (Addresses Debian bug #141938) 2002-06-15 Theodore Ts'o * chattr.c: Applied patch from Andrew to support the dirsync flag. 2002-05-22 Andreas Dilger * mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults): make the default inode ratio at most one inode per block for large blocksizes. 2002-05-17 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (PRS): Determine the page size using sysconf() at runtime, instead of using the Linux system header files. 2002-05-16 Andreas Dilger * mke2fs.c (PRS): Allow blocksizes larger than 4k to be specified, with warning printed and the user questioned if blocksize is larger than the system's page size according to the Linux kernel header files. Added better checking for valid inode sizes, and again print a warning message if using a large inode size (since most kernels today don't support this yet). 2002-04-30 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.8.in: Fix typo in man page. 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso * Release of E2fsprogs 1.27 2002-03-08 Theodore Tso * mke2fs.c: Check for the BSD disklabel on all architectures, and also check the byte-swapped magic number as well. 2002-03-07 Theodore Tso * mke2fs.c: Output warnings to stderr (From Philipp Thomas ) * base_device.c (main): Fix gcc -Wall complaints in debug code. * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Don't erase BSD disklabels on Alpha. (From Thorsten Kukuk ) 2002-03-04 Philipp Thomas * chattr.c (main), fsck.c (main), mke2fs.c (main), findsuper.c (main), dumpe2fs.c (main), lsattr.c (main), partinfo.c (main), tune2fs.c (main), mklost+found.c (main), badblocks.c (main), e2image.c (main): Newer libintl needs LC_CTYPE to be set in addition to LC_MESSAGES. 2002-02-25 Andreas Dilger * mke2fs.c: Add check for mkfs.ext3 and create a journal in this case. 2002-02-24 Theodore Tso * Makefile.in (install): Install hard links for man pages for mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3. Also install hard link for mkfs.ext3. Remove any compressed man pages before installing the man pages. 2002-02-23 Theodore Tso * badblocks.8.in: Clarify man page's description of the -f option 2002-02-12 Theodore Tso * get_device_by_label.c: Since on non-STDC compilers, we define away const, include get_device_by_label.h after we include fsck.h. * Makefile.in (base_device): Remove use of $<, which is non-portable. 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso * Release of E2fsprogs 1.26 2002-02-03 Theodore Tso * fsck.c (interpret_type): Allow filesystems types of the form "ext3,ext2", etc. * fstype.c (identify_fs): Add support for only searching for a specified list of filesystems. Also add support for identifying reiserfs filesystems. 2002-01-29 Theodore Tso * fsck.c: Allow the number of outstanding processes fs-specific fsck programs to be capped via the FSCK_MAX_INST envrionment variable. * fsck.8.in: Document all of the environment variables used by fsck. 2002-01-27 Theodore Tso * tune2fs.8.in: Document the -f flag to tune2fs. 2002-01-02 Theodore Tso * badblocks.c (main): Open the device as O_RDWR if possible, since fsync() isn't guaranteed to work if the filesystem is opened read-only. 2001-12-26 Theodore Tso * tune2fs.8.in, tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options, main): Add support for new option, -T, which allows the user to set the last checked time on the filesystem. 2001-12-24 Theodore Tso * mke2fs.c (main, test_disk): If two -c options are specified, then perform a destructive read/write test of the disk. * mke2fs.8.in: Document the double -c option; also encourage users to use -c instead of the -l/-L options since it's too hard for users to get things like the blocksize parameter correct. * badblocks.8.in: Encourage users to use the -c option in mke2fs and e2fsck instead of running badblocks directly. * mke2fs.c (create_lost_and_found): The lost+found directory is now created with 0700 permissions, since files which get dropped into that directory may have come from a protected directory, and the system administrator may not deal with immediately. (Addresses Debian bug #118443) 2001-12-23 Theodore Tso * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: Move linux/jbd.h to ext2fs/kernel-jbd.h, to avoid using the system header file version of hbd.h when using diet glibc (since it forcibly adds /usr/include to the beginning of the include search path.) 2001-12-22 Theodore Tso * get_device_by_label.c (init_lvm): Add support to read out information from the LVM proc hierarchy, so that the UUID cache can search the LVM logical volumes for UUID's, labels, etc. 2001-12-21 Theodore Tso * dumpe2fs.c (list_bad_blocks): Change to not die if the listing of the bad blocks can't be found. Slimmed down dumpe2fs by eliminating duplicate code paths. 2001-12-16 Theodore Tso * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc), fsck.c (fs_match), get_device_by_label.c (get_label_uuid), mke2fs.c (set_fs_defaults, zap_sector, PRS), tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device, update_feature_set), util.c (figure_journal_size), util.h: Fix gcc -Wall nits. * e2image.c (write_raw_image_file): Fix gcc -Wall nits, and use the stashed inode functions to optimize away system calls. * Makefile.in, jfs_user.h: linux/jfs.h has been renamed to linux/jbd.h 2001-12-02 Theodore Tso * dumpe2fs.c: Don't print the offset to the bitmap and inode table if it's negative. Also did some generalized code clean up to slim it down the support of the -x option. 2001-11-24 Theodore Tso * e2image.8.in: Fix cut-and-paste typo (Addresses Debian bug #119624) 2001-11-13 Theodore Tso * util.c (check_plausibility): Use stat64 if available so that check_plausibility() works with files > 2GB. 2001-11-05 Theodore Tso * chattr.1.in: Update the man page to document the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag. * chattr.c: Add support for the EXT2_NOTAIL_FL flag. * fsck.c (interpret_type): If the "auto" type is specified, make sure interpet_device() is called so that device specifications which use LABEL= or UUID= are translated into a real device name. 2001-10-12 Theodore Tso * e2image.c (output_meta_data_blocks): Optimize away excess lseek() calls when creating a sparse file. Fewer system calls are a good thing. 2001-10-07 Andreas Dilger * mke2fs.c (main): Always exit with non-zero code in case of error. * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Check that buffer allocation succeeded. 2001-09-20 Theodore Tso * Release of E2fsprogs 1.25 2001-09-19 Theodore Tso * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_inode): Remove dead code that wasn't in use. * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect the fact that adding or removing a journal doesn't require running e2fsck. 2001-09-13 Theodore Tso * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Allocate sufficient space for zero-filled buffer. 2001-09-02 Theodore Tso * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24a 2001-08-31 Andreas Dilger * mke2fs.c (main): Fix version format string. 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso * Release of E2fsprogs 1.24 2001-08-30 Theodore Tso * badblocks.8.in: Fix spelling typo. (Addresses Debian bug #110621) * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Now takes a third argument, which is how many sectors to clear out. Fixed up Andreas's patch to make it a bit more efficient/compact. 2001-08-30 Andreas Dilger * mke2fs.c (main): Zap the second sector of the disk, along with any sectors in the same filesystem block after the superblock. The latter will remove (for example) swapspace signatures on 4kB+ blocksize filesystems. Also when zeroing the "end" of the filesystem don't actually zero the start of a very small device (less than 64 blocks). 2001-08-27 Theodore Tso * fsck.c (main): Make version display consistent with the other e2fsprogs programs. * lsattr.c, chattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, mklost+found.c: Remove EXT2FS_VERSION from the version display, since it only confuses people. 2001-08-18 Theodore Tso * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): Remove unused variable check_uuid. * get_device_by_label.h: Define function prototype for copy_string(), since this was moved from fsck.c to get_device_by_label.c by Andreas's BK changeset. 2001-08-17 Andreas Dilger * get_device_by_label.[ch], fsck.c, util.c: New interpret_spec() function in get_device_by_label.c to allow the use of UUID= or LABEL= when creating filesystems which use external journal dev (e.g. mke2fs -J device=LABEL=). * tune2fs.c: Use superblock s_journal_uuid to locate an external journal device instead of s_journal_dev when removing it. Allow opening journal devices to set the label and UUID in the ext2 superblock. * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Free journal_device after use, as it is malloc'd in interpret spec. 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso * Release of E2fsprogs 1.23 2001-08-15 Theodore Tso * tune2fs.c: Make sure that error messages are sent to stderr, and normal messages are sent to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug #108555.) * fsck.8.in: Fixed error in synopsis of the man page. * fsck.c (check_all): Don't bother to interpret a device where the pass number is zero. (Addresses Debian bug #106696.) (main): Print a warning message if there are no devices to be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #107458.) * mke2fs.c (PRS): Handle -O and -s options in line in the getopt loop, so that -s and -O handling are a bit more intuitive. (Not that they should be mixed anyway; -s is deprecated.) * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Give an error if -O is specified more than once. 2001-08-10 Theodore Tso * mke2fs.8.in: Slim down text describing the -O flag to remove text that erroneously implied that all features (including compatible flags) aren't compatible with older kernels. 2001-08-09 Theodore Tso * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix bug pointed out by Christopher Niessen; if mke2fs -O none is specified, the sparse_super feature should not be present. * e2image.c, e2image.8.in: Add support for raw image files. 2001-08-04 Andreas Dilger * mke2fs.c (PRS): Put check for JOURNAL_DEV before sparse_option, so we don't set the sparse superblock flag on journal devices. 2001-07-31 Theodore Tso * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, remove_journal_inode): If removing an in-filesystem journal, clear out the journal inode and update the filesystem accounting structures so we don't have to run e2fsck to clean up after ourselves 2001-07-30 Theodore Tso * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Don't require a forced fsck if we're removing an external journal from a filesystem. 2001-07-27 Theodore Tso * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the blocksize is not specified and the journal device is specified, use it to determine the blocksize of the new filesystem. 2001-07-20 Theodore Tso * fsck.8.in: Add much more explicit language documenting how the fs_passno field in /etc/fstab is handled. (Addresses Debian bug #30833). 2001-07-19 Theodore Tso * fstype.c (identify_fs): New file which looks at the superblock of the filesystem to determines its type. * fsck.c (fsck_device, ignore, interpret_type): Call identify_fs if the type specified in /etc/fstab is "auto". 2001-06-23 Theodore Tso * Release of E2fsprogs 1.22 2001-06-15 Theodore Tso * Release of E2fsprogs 1.21 2001-06-14 Theodore Tso * mke2fs.c (PRS): Remove unneeded test in when creating a external filesystem journal. 2001-06-13 Theodore Tso * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (print_check_message): Move the message which displays how often the filesystem will be checked from mke2fs into a utility subroutine. Then cause tune2fs to call that function to display the message after adding a journal to a filesystem. * mke2fs.8.in: Add manual page fixups and explanation for why it's good to check filesystems periodically from Andreas Dilger. * Makefile.in: Don't build e2image if --disable-imager is specified to configure. 2001-06-12 Theodore Tso * dumpe2fs.c: Use WORDS_BIGENDIAN to determine whether or not we're (not) using i386 byte order. * dumpe2fs.c, mke2fs.c: Stop using the compatibility badblocks function, and use the ext2fs_badblocks_* functions instead. * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fixed bug which can cause fsck to core dump if there are a mix of devices with standard and non-standard names. (Addresses Debian bug #100559) 2001-06-07 Theodore Tso * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Don't use _FILE_BITS_OFFSET method of using the 64-bit function, since this changes the expected size of struct dirent. Instead use lseek64 explicitly. 2001-06-01 Theodore Tso * Makefile.in: Move include/asm/types.h.in to lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h.in. 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso * Release of E2fsprogs 1.20 2001-05-25 Theodore Tso * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Fix capitalization typo. 2001-05-23 Theodore Tso * partinfo.c (main): Use unsigned long instead of long when querying the size of a device using the BLKGETSIZE ioctl, to remove the 1TB limit (and turn it into a 2TB limit :-) * fsck.c (compile_fs_type): Fix I18N compilation bug: use N_() instead of _() to initialize static variables. 2001-05-20 Theodore Tso * fsck.8.in, fsck.c (compile_fs_type, fs_type, ignore): Fix handling of -t option to be more intuitive. Also add support for the Mandrake -t loop hack. See man page for description of new -t semantics. * fsck.c (device_already_active): Fix bug in device_already_active which could cause infinite loops if we don't know the base_device of the filesystem. * fsck.c: Make sure all exit status codes returned by fsck are consistent with the error codes documented in the fsck man page. 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2image.c, findsuper.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c: Change location of ext2_fs.h to be ext2fs/ext2_fs.h * tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger. 2001-05-11 Andreas Dilger * mke2fs.c: don't zap the superblock if we are running with noaction! Zap the end of the device to remove stale RAID superblocks. 2001-05-14 Theodore Tso * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set): Clean up some printf messages. * fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo's and make other clarifications suggested by Andreas Dilger. 2001-05-13 Theodore Tso * mke2fs.c (PRS): Integrated changes from Andreas Dilger which make the revision superblock field be set to the correct value depending on if superblock features are set. 2001-05-12 Theodore Tso * fsck.c (PRS): fsck -? now prints the usage message. * badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section. * chattr.1.in, lsattr.1.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update URL location of e2fsprogs package. 2001-05-07 Theodore Tso * util.c: Use specific check for HAVE_SYS_STAT_H. 2001-05-05 Theodore Tso * fsck.8.in: Add explicit language to describe how options get passed to filesystem-specific checkers. * badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of num_blocks. (Debian bug #87216) * badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count, which is a more accurate description of the variable. 2001-05-03 Theodore Tso * e2image.8.in: New manual page * badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net. * dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image file. * e2image.c (main): Fix format of e2image to be easier to be parse by ext2fs_open(). 2001-05-01 Theodore Tso * fsck.c (device_already_active): If we're not able to determine the base device, we should assume that the device is already active in order to force serialization. 2001-04-26 Theodore Tso * tune2fs.c (parse_tune2fs_options): Interpret -c 0 as -c -1 (for backwards compatibility with older kernels). -c 0 makes more sense to users. 2001-04-22 Theodore Tso * tune2fs.c (remove_journal_device): If the force flag is given, tune2fs will remove the journal device information from the superblock even if tune2fs failed to open the journal device or otherwise other failed to remove the filesystem from journal device. (parse_tune2fs_options): Fix -j option so that it works (it was missing the open_flag being set to EXT2_FLAG_RW). (main): Accept "-U clear" to set a null UID. 2001-04-21 Theodore Tso * mke2fs.8.in: Manual page cleanups. Temporarily comment out the documentation for the extern journal device support. * mke2fs.c (usage): Remove the deprecated -s option from the usage message. 2001-04-16 Theodore Tso * mke2fs.c (main): Add better explanation about when the filesystem will be checked after it is created. * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Remove code which allowed a bare number to be treated as a journal size. * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Add newlines to error messages so that they look nicer. * mke2fs.c (create_journal_dev): Call ext2fs_create_journal_superblock() first, so if it's going to error out, the user finds out before waiting for the entire device to get zero'ed. 2001-03-26 Theodore Tso * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Change man paegs to document that the journal must be bewteen 1024 and 102,400 file system blocks. * mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Change to use figure_journal_size() * util.c, util.h (figure_journal_size): Change journal_default_size into routine which also converts the requested journal size into filesystem blocks and does bounds checking to make sure the journal is sized reasonably. Renamed function to journal_default_size. (parse_journal_opts): Remove bounds check for the journal size, since this is now done in figure_journal_size, and based on the number of filesystem blocks, as opposed to using the absolute size of the journal. 2001-02-17 Theodore Tso * mke2fs.c (main): Flush out the "creating journal" message. Also handle the case where the default journal size returns zero blocks == no journal. Print out how often the filesystem will be checked. 2001-02-08 Theodore Tso * e2image.c (main): Add code to write the e2image header. 2001-02-07 Theodore Tso * tune2fs.8.in: Update man page to reflect that 2.0.39 supports sparse_super. * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fix fencepost error when calculating the range of inode table blocks. Add '0x' to values printed in hex. * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Define the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE to force the use of the LFS so that lstat will work on large files. 2001-01-17 Theodore Ts'o * tune2fs.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.8.in, mke2fs.8.in: Change user interface so that -J is used to specify journal options, and -j is used to request creation of a journal using default values. (This is a UI change, but we haven't done a formal release, and it makes things much more consistent with the rest of the options out there.) * tune2fs.c: Add support for removing a filesystem from an external journal; we correctly remove the filesystem UUID from the external journal's filesystem list. * util.h, util.c (journal_default_size): New function from Andreas Dilger to calculate an appropriate default journal size given a filesystem size. * util.c (parse_journal_opts): Allow the creation of a journal as small as 1MB. * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Use s_first_data_block to find the correct block to read the journal superblock. 2001-01-15 Theodore Ts'o * tune2fs.c: Changed the external journal code so that it simply adds a filesystem to a journal; the journal must have bene created via "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". * mke2fs.c: Add support for creating an external journal device by using the command "mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/XXX". Also changed the external journal code so -j device=/dev/XXX it simply adds a filesystem to that journal; the journal must have been created via separate step. * dumpe2fs.c (print_journal_information): Add support for dumping information about an external journal device. 2001-01-14 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c: Add new filesystem types, largefile and largefile4, for those filesystems whose average inode size is 1MB and 4MB, respectively. Allow the inode ratio specified to be has high as 4MB. Make the s_max_mount_count vary between 20 and 40, to avoid needing to check all of the filesystems at the same time. Add some random jitter to the s_max_mount_count value so that we avoid checking all of the filesystems at the same time when we reboot. * tune2fs.8.in: Add description of the -j option. * tune2fs.c (add_journal): Minor fixes from Andreas Dilger. Flush stdout after printing in-progress message. (main): Exit with status code 1 if we failed to determine the mount status of the device. 2001-01-11 * e2image.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, tune2fs.c, util.c, uuidgen.c: Fix gcc -Wall complaints, including one bug in tune2fs caused by a block automatic shadowing version of the variable we really wanted to use, which broke the logic testing to see if the filesystem was mounted. * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use ext2fs_sync_device() to sync and flush the device. * mke2fs.c: Change ino_t to ext2_ino_t. 2001-01-08 * Makefile.in, tune2fs.c: Move e2label functionality into tune2fs, using argv[0] as a dispatch. This allows e2label to be (more) safely used on mounted filesystems. 2001-01-05 * get_device_by_label.h (get_volume_label_by_spec): Add function prototype. * get_device_by_label.c: Use string_copy() instead of strdup() for portability's sake. Fix a few other gcc -Wall complaints. * fsck.c (string_copy): Export string_copy() extern. * badblocks.c: Fix various gcc -Wall complaints, including an incorrect reference to sync in flush_bufs(). 2001-01-03 * tune2fs.c (update_feature_set, add_journal): Moved to separate functions. Added ability to add and remove the journal while the filesystem is live. Added support for setting a time-based UUID. Removed zero-initialized static variables. * mke2fs.c, util.c, util.h (strcasecmp, proceed_question, check_plausibility, parse_journal_opts, check_mount): Moved functions to util.c so they can be used by tune2fs. * mke2fs.c (main): Change ext2fs_add_journal_fs() to ext2fs_add_journal_inode() to reflect function renaming. 2001-01-01 * mke2fs.c, e2image.c: Removed references to struct ext2fs_sb to struct ext2_super_block. * tune2fs.c (main): Add support to allow HAS_JOURNAL flag to be cleared, but only if the filesystem is unmounted or mounted read-only. Changed struct ext2fs_sb to struct ext2_super_block, and cleaned up old code which was needed for old versions of ext2_fs.h (not needed since we're using our own version now). 2000-12-31 * fsck.c (check_all): Call interpet_device to resolve LABEL= and UUID= right away so that the device_already_active() logic can do the right thing. Also cleaned up the the root filesystem logic checking code; fixed up a logic bug with the parallel_root option. * lsattr.1.in: Add pointer to chattr man page for definition of the file attributes. * lsattr.c (list_attributes): Minor cleanup to smooth out logic flow. Also removed static initialized variables to zero. * chattr.c (decode_arg, get_flag): Use a table-driven method for decoding the ext2 file flags character options. Add support for the journaled data flag. * chattr.1.in: Document the -j/+j/=j flag. 2000-12-30 * mke2fs.8.in: Minor clarity edit. * mke2fs.c (usage): Document the -j option. (main): Print the number blocks used in the journal. 2000-12-28 * base_device.c (base_device): Add support for DAC960 device names. * fsck.c (device_already_active): Handle the case where base_device doesn't know how to interpret the device name, instead of core dumping. 2000-12-09 * mke2fs.c (main, parse_journal_opts): Add support for creating V1 superblocks. We now pass in a journal_flags field to the journal creation routines for this purpose. * mke2fs.c: Remove zero initializers to save a few bytes from the executable image. (Are we excited yet?) * findsuper.c: And non-subtle copyright licensing restriction to get Yann to remove this program from the Debian package. :-) 2000-12-03 * fsck.c (device_already_active): Change to use new version of base_device() which now returns dynamically allocated memory. * base_device.c (base_device): New version moved from fsck.c which now understands ugly devfs names. (Debian bug #65181) * base_device.tst: Test case for base_device.c 2000-12-02 * fsck.8.in: Add clarification that filesystems with a fs_passno of 0 are skipped with the -A option. (Debian wishlist/bug #63442) * fsck.c (wait_one): When we let a new fsck take control of the console to display the progress bar, set FLAG_PROGRESS to so that fsck knows not to start new processes during an fsck pass with the progress bar. (Should fix debian bug #65267) * tune2fs.8.in: Add clarifying statement about converting user and group names to uid's before storing them in the superblock. (Debian bug #67446) 2000-11-16 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c(main): Expand the -j option so that it parses option=argument style options, and add support for creating filesystems with external journals. * mke2fs.8.in: Document new syntax for the -j option. 2000-11-05 * e2image.c, Makefile.in: New program which saves ext2 metadata to a file for people who need a last-ditch saving throw. 2000-10-24 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Applied Andreas Dilger's patch to make the -r -s handling a bit more sane. (Even though -s is deprecated at this point.) * get_device_by_label.c: Apply fix from Erik Troan to support 16 character labels. * fsck.c (device_already_active): Add a special case check for MD devices, so we don't try to check them in parallel with other devices. * mke2fs.c (PRS, main), mke2fs.8.in: Add support for the -j option, which builds an ext2/3 filesystem with an ext3 journal. 2000-10-24 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix really stupid typo which gcc 2.95 didn't catch. 2000-09-12 * fsck.c: Add base device definitions for hd[e-h], for those systems with four IDE interfaces. 2000-09-11 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Fix error message printed when zap_sector fails. * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Fixed format string bug when printing the inode table location in non-hex format. 2000-08-20 * get_device_by_label.c: Add call to ext2fs_find_block_device if we can't find the device using the name given by /proc/partitions. (This can happen if devfs is compiled into the kernel, but not mounted.) 2000-06-27 Andreas Dilger * dumpe2fs.c (usage): add fhx options to usage message, add -x option to print out the per-group block numbers in hex, add line for location of primary/backup superblock and group descriptors * mke2fs.c: rename max to group_blk_max avoid potential macro conflict 2000-08-14 * mke2fs.c (zap_sector): Change zap_bootsect to more general zap_sect. (main): Clear the superblock when starting mke2fs, to avoid leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state. 2000-07-26 * get_device_by_label.c: Improve /proc/partitions parsing in fsck, and speed up fsck -a. 2000-07-13 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.19 2000-07-13 * badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options are mutually exclusive. * badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the block count must be specified if the starting block is to be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in the long run.) * badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing variable before going into the write verification loop. This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup routines anymore. * badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size). Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf format string. 2000-07-06 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Treat fsck.ext3 the same as fsck.ext2 (because they are the same) for the purposes of the progress bar display logic. * tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to document what happens if max_mount_count is negative. * tune2fs.c (main): Allow setting the maximal count value to be negative, since the kernel interprets that as forcing a check. * fsck.c (lookup, load_fs_info, check_all): Use lazy evaluation for calling interpret_device(), since this requires root privileges if the partitions need to be scanned. Otherwise, it's not possible to do non-proot fsck's for removeable devices such as floppies if there are any LABEL= or UUID= entries in /etc/fstab. * badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive test. This can be overriden using the new -f option. * badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly document the start-block parameter. Added documentation for the -f option. * badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the device as a default. 2000-07-05 Theodore Ts'o * badblocks.c (test_nd): Significantly simplify the logic so that it's more obviously what's going on. Fixed a few potential cases which weren't handled correctly in the old, overly complicated logic. (flush_bufs): Now doesn't take a second argument, and always forces a sync; this is required before it's really safe to call BLKFLSBUF, at least for some kernels. 2000-05-29 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a much more specific error message if the filesystem size is defaulted and get_device_size returns a size of zero. Otherwise, users get a confusing "invalid argument while passed to ext2 library" error message. 2000-05-08 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c (interpret_device): Add better error messages if a UUID= or LABEL= specification is given. * mke2fs.c (main): We forcibly turn off the filetype feature if the OS is the hurd, since the hurd doesn't support it. (And since the hurd allows the transmogrification of files to special files and vice versa --- for no good reason that I can understand --- it can't support the filetype feature for the forseeable future, either.) * mke2fs.c (proceed_question): Fix reversed sense of proceed_question that was busted due to the internationalization patch. Fixed bug where if proceed_question was called twice, the input buffer wasn't cleared of the previous question's newline. Thu Apr 6 17:50:25 2000 Theodore Y. Ts'o * badblocks.c (flush_bufs): Use fsync() if the system doesn't support fdatasync(). 2000-04-03 Theodore Ts'o * badblocks.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c, uuidgen.c: For platforms that don't define optarg.h, manually define optarg and optind. * badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David Beattie. * badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a longjmp to a deactivated stack frame. (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error. * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail address. chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported. 2000-02-09 Theodore Ts'o * chattr.1.in: * lsattr.1.in: Change "version" to "version/generation number". * chattr.1.in: Fix stupid file vs filesystem typo. * tune2fs.c Fix spelling error (spare vs sparse). * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add safety check to make sure the number of blocks doesn't exceed 32 bits on a 64 bit machine. * chattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static. Options for setting/clearings flags put into order, and #ifdef's removed (since we now use a built-in header file). Add error message if user tries to set and reset the same flag. * lsattr.c: Random cleanup; file-only variables are now static. The -l "long" listing has been changed to look nicer. Options names have been renamed to be more descriptive. 2000-02-06 Theodore Ts'o * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, e2label.c, findsuper.c, fsck.c, get_device_by_label.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, mklost+found.c, nls-enable.h, partinfo.c, tune2fs.c, uuidgen.c: Add Internationalization support as suggested by Marco d'Itri . * badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it was interrupted at the wrong time.) * badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page. 2000-02-02 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c (interpret_device): If there was an attempt to interpret a device specification of the type "UUID=" or "LABEL=", and it fails, check to see if /proc/partitions is readable. If not, print a warning message about /proc perhaps not being mounted, and exit. * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h. Add #define of MAJOR if necessary. * partinfo.c: Remove unneeded #include of linux/fs.h 2000-01-19 Theodore Ts'o * tune2fs.c (usage): Update the usage message to correctly document the -s option. 2000-01-18 Theodore Ts'o * badblocks.c: Folded in patches David Beattie . Need to do cleanup before release: use of GCC extensions (dynamic arrays); unclean coding tricks (use of || instead of if statements, etc.). Comments from David Beattie: "I added non-destructive write-testing, and quite a few other features. The non-destructive write testing, triggered by new "-n" command-line option, will write test patterns to the disk, but only after reading data off the disk into memory. Then, comparing the test patterns gives a result as to whether or not those sectors are reliable. Finally, the original data is written back. To streamline this operation, I added another option, "-c blocks_at_once", which will give the number of disk blocks to process at one time (mnemonic--"count"). I made this default to 16 (as in the read-only testing mode), and also affect the read-only testing mode. Of course, read-only mode needs (count * block_size) amount of memory, and non-destructive read-write needs 3 times that much, so it makes sense to do the calculations and not overrun available RAM...I would have liked to implement and auto-memory-usage heuristic, but I have no idea if it's even possible to determine the amount of free memory on a Unix system except by reading /proc entries, and that didn't seem portable. I did NOT make this blocks_at_once affect the behavior of the test_rw routine, as it is processing the whole disk at once, anyway. I *think* that I got higher detection rates on my hard drive using random test data than patterned test data, so my non-destructive mode initializes its test data buffer randomly. I fixed a typo in flush_bufs that caused the ioctl BLKFLSBUF to never get compiled into the program. Also, I added an "undocumented" (I didn't put it into the usage message; you can if you think it's useful) "-h" option to specify the host device to flush--useful if you want to test out my "non-destructive" code on something other than a hard drive, such as a file on a hard drive, and want the host hard drive to flush. I provided support for an "input" file (via option "-i", similar to the "-o" option)...containing a list of already-known bad blocks; it will skip testing those blocks, thus adding speed to the bad block scan (on my computer, hitting a physically bad block causes a half-second-or-more freeze as the kernel waits for the hard drive to give up and reset itself; pretty annoying when you already know the block is bad from a previous scan). Finally, the real killer, the persistent re-scan (option: "-p num_passes") that I created will, if desired, persistently re-scan the drive until it has completed a user-decidable number of passes in a row during which no new bad blocks are found. On my drive, I would see behavior that a certain percentage of bad blocks would be found with each pass (it was not reliable in the defective areas!), so I wanted it to check it over and over again until it didn't find any more, several times. Perhaps this will be useful to others. Defaults of course to zero, meaning it will stop after the first pass. I used "-p 2" on my drive, and it ran for 2 1/2 days...then used "-p 3" a couple days later and it ran for a few more hours, and since then the rest of my drive has been completely reliable. Implementation of these last two features, "-i" and "-p", I did using a bb_list from libext2fs. I debated whether bad blocks input through "-i" should be output into the "-o" file (or stdout, of course), and decided against it, but left the code to do so in place, commented out, just for your information. In order to maintain data integrity upon interruption of a non-destructive-write test, I created a signal handler which I install which will write back whatever original disk data is in the buffers upon any of the fatal signals (except SIGKILL, of course). Of course, ideally, the new options would be reflected in the badblocks manual page, but I am not experienced at manual page modification; if you decide my patch to badblocks should be incorporated into the distribution, I could learn how to update the manpage and other documentation, or you could do it for me after exercising your opinions, if you have any, on exactly what the command-line parameters should be called and which ones should be in the distribution." 2000-01-07 Theodore Ts'o * Really fix the bug where "fsck -As" will actually allow interactive fsck's. (For those people who like to do interactive fsck's in the /etc/rc scripts!?!) 1999-11-23 * tune2fs.8.in: Fix man page so that the sparse_super filesystem option is properly named. 1999-11-22 * mke2fs.c: Change log2() and log10() to int_log2() and int_log10() to avoid namespace collisions. Change #ifdef sparc to #ifdef __sparc__. 1999-11-19 * Makefile.in (distclean): Remove TAGS and Makefile.in.old from the source directory. 1999-11-10 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.18 1999-11-10 * mke2fs.8.in: Update manual page so that the sparse_option filesystem option is properly named. 1999-11-04 * fsck.c (main): Move setting of the interactive flag to before the call to check_all(), so that people who try to use fsck -As can do so interactively. 1999-10-26 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.17 1999-10-26 * fsck.c (PRS, device_already_active): Add debugging hook; if the environment variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL is set, then force all fsck runs to happen in parallel. * get_device_by_label.c (has_right_label): Fixed bug where code used a strncmp to compare a binary UUID value which may contain a NULL. Fixed GCC warnings; added const to char * typed variables. Eliminated non-portable use of u_char. * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix gcc warnings; add const to some char * variables, including in struct mke2fs_defaults. (set_fs_defaults): Changed parameter name to avoid gcc warnings. * fsck.c (wait_one): Fix gcc warnings; add #include for ctype.h, add const to char * variables, and use NOARGS to declare functions that take no arguments. Also fix a memory leak in execute() where we weren't freeing argv[] after forking the child process. * chattr.c: Add hack to compile in a definition for S_ISLNK so we can successfully compile even with warnings turned on. 1999-10-25 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Capitalized Hurd to make the GNU types happy. (PRS): Use __u64 instead of long long for portability reasons. Also moved #include of sys/stat.h inside #ifdef HAVE_LINUX_MAJOR_H for portability reasons. * fsck.c (execute): Fix really stupid bug in the linked list management which caused fsck in parallel mode to go into an infinite loop. 1999-10-22 * Release of E2fsprogs 1.16 1999-10-22 * tune2fs.c (main): Add a new option -O which allows the user to set and clear certain "safe" filsystem feature flags. Currently, the only ones which are supported for modification are sparse_superblock and filetype. * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add new option -O which allows the user to request filesystems with specific filesystem options. By default on 2.2 and later systems, create filesystems that have both file type information and sparse superblocks. 1999-10-21 * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, fsck.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in, uuidgen.1.in: Update man page to use a more standard format (bold option flags and italicized variables), as suggested by Andreas Dilger (adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca) 1999-10-14 * tune2fs.c (main): Fix typo (double spaces) in messages regarding changing the sparse superblock option * fsck.c (wait_one): If the fsck process just started, wait a second before sending a SIGUSR1, to give it a chance to set the signal handler; otherwise, fsck will die on an unhandled SIGUSR1. 1999-09-15 * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Fix display bug when printing out the number of superblocks. Suggested by Yann Dirson. 1999-09-08 * partinfo.c: Fix minor compilation bugs pointed out by Yann Dirson. * mke2fs.c: Don't turn on sparse superblocks by default on pre-2.2 kernels. * mke2fs.8.in: Add the possible valid block sizes for mke2fs. Document the -n flag, and the new defaults for the -s flag. * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Add new options -f (force) and -h (header-only). 1999-08-13 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Fix logic for turning on/off the sparse superblock option. 1999-07-18 Theodore Ts'o * Release of E2fsprogs 1.15 1999-07-18 * mke2fs.c (PRS, set_fs_defaults): Add new option -T which allows the user to specify the how the filesystem is to be used. Mke2fs now chooses the filesystem parameters automatically based on the size of the filesystem and the intended use of the filesystem. Add new option -n which simply goes through the calculations to determine the parameters of the filesystem the system would make. 1999-07-18 * fsck.c, fsck.h: Add support for new option -C. This option will automatically manage e2fsck processes so that they will print completion/progress bars. If multiple filesystems are being checked, arrange to make sure that only one e2fsck process is displaying a progress bar at a time. 1999-07-08 * badblocks.c (do_test): Don't complain if the write error occurs on a non-block boundary. This is perfectly common when using blocksizes larger than 1k. 1999-07-03 * uuidgen.c: Add option parsing so that user can ask for either a time-based UUID or a random-based UUID. 1999-07-02 * fsck.c: Added support for LABEL= and UUID= specifications for the filesystem's device, to match what recent mount programs can support. Also, close stdin when doing fsck -A or when checking more than one filesystem at a time, so that e2fsck doesn't try to ask interactive questions if the filesystem appears to be mounted. * get_device_by_label.c: New file added to support LABEL=foo and UUID=bar type specifications. 1999-07-01 * badblocks.c: Make the "done" string include enough spaces to clear out a large block number. 1999-06-29 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Allow a filesystem to be made even if it appears mounted if the force option is given. 1999-06-24 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix typo in man page which caused the badblocks command to not show up in the "SEE ALSO" section. 1999-05-02 * findsuper.c: Added documentation from aeb@cwi.nl; some minor code cleanups. 1999-05-20 * dumpe2fs.c, dumpe2fs.8.in: Added new command-line options which allow a filesystem expert to specify the superblock and blocksize when opening a filesystem. This is mainly useful when examining the remains of a toasted filesystem. 1999-03-11 Andreas Dilger * uuidgen.c, uuidgen.1.in: Created command-line utility to generate UUIDs. 1999-03-14 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c (fsck_device, execute): Don't dereference a null pointer when checking a filesystem not in /etc/fstab. 1999-02-09 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c (fsck_device): Print an error message if the user passes in a device or directory name which isn't found in /etc/fstab. Allow the location of /etc/fstab to be overridden by the FSTAB_FILE environment variable. 1999-01-30 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Add kludge code so that when the MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set, mke2fs will sync every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups, while it is writing out the inode tables. This is to work around a VM bug in the 2.0 kernel. I've heard a report that a RAID user was able to trigger it even using a 2.2 kernel. 1999-01-16 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c (execute, wait_one): Modified routines so that they accurately create an fsck_instance even when the noexecute flag is set. This allows for accurate debugging of the fsck pass structure. (check_all): When the verbose flag is given twice, print debugging information about when fsck is waiting for jobs to finish. 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o * Release of E2fsprogs 1.14 1999-01-09 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.8.in: Clarified and expanded the documentation for the -A switch. 1999-01-07 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the pass number field is missing, it needs to be treated as zero. 1999-01-05 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add -N option to allow the user to specify exactly how many inodes he/she wishes. * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Only print the version information for the program if the -V option is given. * chattr.c: Ignore symbolic links when doing a recursive descent through a directory. 1999-01-01 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c (load_fs_info, parse_fstab_line): Ignore fstab lines are commented out. Also allow blank lines in the /etc/fstab file. (execute): In verbose mode, print the mountpount of the filesystem which we are checking (user request). 1998-12-30 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c: Add definition of SCSI_BLK_MAJOR if not defined, for compatibility with Linux 1.2.13 header files. 1998-12-15 Theodore Ts'o * Release of E2fsprogs 1.13 1998-12-07 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.8.in: Fixed stupid typo ("Raid options are _comma_ seperated", instead of common separated) 1998-12-03 Theodore Ts'o * Makefile.in: Updated dependencies. 1998-11-27 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Parse /etc/fstab ourselves, instead of relying on getmntent(). This has the advantage of allowing us to properly handle missing pass numbers correctly. 1998-11-13 Theodore Ts'o * tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor display bug in the nroff. * mke2fs.c (show_stats, write_inode_tables): Use the log10 function to calculate the display of block numbers so that things look nice on an 80 character display. 1998-10-12 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (usage): Add the sparse-super-flag to the usage message. 1998-07-09 Theodore Ts'o * Release of E2fsprogs 1.12 1998-07-04 Theodore Ts'o * findsuper.c (main): Print the block group number which is now being written by e2fsprogs. 1998-06-25 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c (ignore): Remove unused variable cp. * chattr.c (fatal_error): * tune2fs.c (usage): * lsattr.c (usage): * dumpe2fs.c (usage): * badblocks.c (usage): Remove volatile from declaration. * fsck.c: Change use of strdup to be string_copy, since we don't trust what glibc is doing with strdup. (Whatever it is, it isn't pretty.) 1998-06-19 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add a -V option which prints the version number and exit. 1998-05-14 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c (ignore): Remove check for filesystems with the noauto option. 1998-03-30 Theodore Ts'o * Makefile.in: Change to use new installation directory variables convention. Fix uninstall rules to take $(DESTDIR) into account. Remove cat8dir and cat1dir from the installdirs target, since modern man package don't necessarily put the cat directory in /usr/man/cat?. 1998-03-29 Theodore Ts'o * e2label.8.in: New man page to document the e2label function. * e2label.c: Fix -Wall warning by making functions static. 1998-03-28 Theodore Ts'o * chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may only be set or cleared by the superuser. * Update all manual pages to that the availability section is up-to-date. * e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will be truncated. * e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating that the label will be truncated. * mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed. 1998-03-21 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Fixed spelling typo in warning message. Fixed up -Wall warnings in file. Sun Mar 8 22:21:48 1998 Theodore Ts'o * partinfo.c (main): The ioctl BLKGETSIZE requires a long, not an int. Sun Feb 1 16:53:36 1998 Theodore Ts'o * badblocks.8: Update documentation to note that output format of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or mke2fs -l. * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the first one). Mon Dec 1 17:01:04 1997 Theodore Ts'o * badblocks.8.in: Add documentation for the -s option. Fri Oct 24 23:37:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c: * chattr.c: Remove #include of getopt.h, since it's not needed. * tune2fs.c (main): * lsattr.c (main): * badblocks.c (main): * dumpe2fs.c (main): * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the variable which getopt returns into be an int, so that it won't lose on platforms where char is unsigned. Fri Oct 3 13:38:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (parse_raid_opts): Make parse_raid_opts return a void, to fix a -Wall warning. Mon Sep 15 22:07:12 1997 Theodore Ts'o * tune2fs.c (main): * mklost+found.c (main): * lsattr.c (main): * dumpe2fs.c (main): * chattr.c (main): * badblocks.c (main): Declare main to return an int, as required. Make sure main always ends with an exit(0). (Some programs weren't doing this, and thus were returning a random exit value.) Mon Jul 14 15:27:29 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o * e2label.c: New file contributed by Andries Brouwer which provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem label. * Makefile.in (SPROGS): Add Makefile support to build e2label Tue Jun 17 01:33:20 1997 Theodore Ts'o * Release of E2fsprogs 1.11 Mon Jun 16 23:37:54 1997 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (show_stats): Adjust the number of columns printed when displaying the superblock backups to avoid running over 80 columns when making a really big disk. Thu May 8 22:22:08 1997 Theodore Ts'o * badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, fsck.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix minor typos and grammer oops found by Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net). * mke2fs.c (test_disk): Pass the blocksize to the bad blocks command so that all of the filesystem gets tested in the case where the blocksize 2048 or 4096. Thu Apr 24 12:16:42 1997 Theodre Ts'o * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.10 Thu Apr 24 09:52:47 1997 Theodre Ts'o * mke2fs.c: Added new option -R, which specifies RAID options. Currently the only supported RAID option is "stride" which specifies the stripe width in RAID filesystem. This is used to aid in the placement of the inode and block bitmaps. * mke2fs.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Added warnings that the sparse superblock option isn't yet supported by most kernels. Wed Apr 23 22:42:51 1997 Theodre Ts'o * mke2fs.c (PRS): Make the default filesystem revision be 0, not 1. (Since some people are still worried about 1.2.13 compatibility). Thu Apr 17 12:23:38 1997 Theodore Ts'o * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.09 Fri Apr 11 18:57:24 1997 Theodore Ts'o * chattr.1.in: Updated man page so that the 'A' attribute is specified everywhere. * chattr.c (usage): Added usage message for the 'A' attribute. Fri Apr 11 18:56:26 1997 Theodore Ts'o * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.08 Thu Apr 10 07:08:03 1997 Theodore Ts'o * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): List the offsets of the inode and block bitmaps, and the inode table. List the block boundaries for the groups. Sat Apr 5 11:55:52 1997 Theodore Ts'o * tune2fs.c (main): Implement the -s flag allows the user to set and reset the sparse superblock flag. * mke2fs.c (PRS): By default generate DYNAMIC revision filesystems. The -s flag controls whether or not the sparse superblock flag is set. (PRS): Change to allow the user to specify the true maximum number of blocks per group to reflect the blocksize. Wed Mar 12 13:32:05 1997 Theodore Y. Ts'o * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.07 Thu Mar 6 17:15:05 1997 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Set the root directory's i_uid and i_gid to be the real user and group id. Tue Mar 4 10:14:33 1997 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add more intelligent error messages when the device doesn't exist. Sat Mar 1 10:43:32 1997 Theodore Ts'o * fsck.c (main): Fix bug where the PATH environment variable isn't set when it is unset. Tue Jan 14 12:30:45 1997 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (write_inode_tables): Fixed bug in write_inode_tables where a loop variable was getting reused in a nested loop. This caused the inode table to not be correctly initialized. Thu Jan 2 00:00:37 1997 Theodore Ts'o * lsattr.c, chattr.c: Include string.h, since we use memcpy(). * findsuper.c: Use time_t for ctime(), not __u32. Sat Dec 28 23:39:18 1996 Theodore Ts'o * badblocks.c: Adapted -vv modifications from Rik Faith so that they frequently update the block number field. * badblocks.8.in: Document the optional start-block parameter Mon Oct 14 11:52:58 1996 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c: Updated to use new ext2fs_allocate_tables() function. Tue Oct 8 02:02:03 1996 Theodore Ts'o * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.06 Mon Oct 7 00:56:24 1996 Theodore Ts'o * chattr.1.in: Documented the 'A' (noatime) attribute. * dumpe2fs.c (main): Change EXT2_SWAP to EXT2_FLAG_SWAP for consistency's sake. Sun Sep 22 16:18:47 1996 Theodore Ts'o * chattr.c (decode_arg): Add support for the 'A' (noatime) flag. Thu Sep 12 15:23:07 1996 Theodore Ts'o * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.05 Sat Sep 7 07:34:11 1996 Theodore Ts'o * tune2fs.c (main): Add support for new option -C, which sets the current number of mounts. (main): Allow the interval to be specified in seconds, mostly for debugging. Tue Aug 27 17:27:43 1996 Miles Bader * Makefile.in (SMANPAGES): Use @FSCK_MAN@ instead of fsck.8. (SPROGS): Use @FSCK_PROG@ instead of fsck. Thu Aug 22 00:51:44 1996 Theodore Ts'o * mke2fs.c (zap_bootblock): Don't do zap_bootblock on a sparc. Tue Aug 20 00:15:46 1996 Theodore Ts'o * chattr.c (main): Fixed bug so that chattr -v works. (Bug report and fix sent by Charles Howes, chowes@eznet.ca) Fri Aug 9 11:52:42 1996 Theodore Ts'o * tune2fs.8.in: * tune2fs.c: Added support for the -L option which sets the volume label, the -M option which sets the last mounted directory, and the -U option which sets the filesystem UUID. * mke2fs.8.in: * mke2fs.c: Added support for the -o option, which overrides the creator OS. Generate a UUID for the filesystem, if applicable. Added support for the -L option which sets the volume label, and the -M option which sets the last mounted directory. Sat Jun 22 17:43:17 1996 Remy Card * chattr.c (decode_arg): Integrated Michael Nonweiler's fix to avoid a segmentation fault when the "-v" option is used and no version number is specified. Thu May 16 11:12:30 1996 Theodore Ts'o * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.04 Wed May 15 21:15:43 1996 Theodore Ts'o * Makefile.in (fsck): fsck doesn't need to be linked with the ext2 libraries. Wed Mar 27 00:33:40 1996 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.03 Thu Mar 7 03:43:20 1996 * mke2fs.c (PRS): Add (for development only) support to specify revision and inode size of the new filesystem. Tue Mar 5 03:51:35 1996 * mke2fs.8.in: Fix a few minor typo's in the man page. * mke2fs.c (reserve_inodes): Add support for dynamic first inode revision. Mon Feb 5 22:19:49 1996 * fsck.c (check_all, PRS): Added new flag -P, which turns on the parallel root option. This allows you to check the root filesystem in parallel with the other filesystems. Note that this is not the safest thing in the world to do, since if the root filesystem is in doubt things like the e2fsck executable might be corrupted! But some sysadmins, who don't want to repartition the root filesystem to be small and compact, may really want this option turned on. Wed Jan 31 11:06:08 1996 * Release of E2fsprogs version 1.02 Tue Oct 30 21:14:12 1995 * mke2fs.c (check_plausibility): Add check to warn user if they are trying to mke2fs the whole disk. (/dev/hda vs. /dev/hda1) Fri Dec 15 19:09:56 1995 * fsck.c (check_all): If we break out of the loop because we are serializing and have just started at fsck we haven't finished the pass. We need to go round again in case there are more filesystems to be done in this pass. (Patch submitted by Mike Jagdis) Sat Dec 9 10:07:16 1995 * dumpe2fs.c (in_use): test_bit() was renamed to ext2fs_test_bit(). Mon Oct 30 20:21:18 1995 * fsck.c (fsck_device): Check fstype instead of type; this was a stupid typo which caused coredumps in some cases. Thu Oct 26 12:05:18 1995 * Makefile.in (install): Strip programs when they are installed. Fri Aug 18 15:10:40 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o * mke2fs.c (PRS): Move call of check_mount() from main() to PRS(), so we do the check to see if the filesystem is mounted *before* we try to determine the size of the device. Wed Sep 6 23:34:07 1995 Remy Card * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Load the informations from /etc/fstab in the same order. Thu Aug 17 22:33:09 1995 * mke2fs.c (check_mount): Use the new ext2fs_check_if_mounted() function to determine if the device is mounted. * mke2fs.c (PRS): Change call to use the new ext2fs_get_device_size() function in order to determine the size of the filesystem. Remove get_size() and is_valid_offset(), which are no longer called. Fri Aug 11 08:26:24 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o * fsck.c (fsck_device): Make sure fstype has been set by the user and that it does not begin with "no" and the user has specified exactly one type before using it as the type to check. Fri Aug 11 14:17:18 1995 Remy Card * badblocks.8: * chattr.1: * dumpe2fs.8: * fsck.8: * lsattr.1: * mke2fs.8: * mklost+found.8: * tune2fs.8: Updated date and version number. Thu Aug 10 14:18:36 1995 Remy Card * tune2fs.c: Fixed a bug which prevented the use of user and group names with the -g and -u options. Thanks to Jean Christophe ANDRE . * mke2fs.8: * tune2fs.8: Fixed a spelling error in Ted's name :-) Wed Aug 9 20:41:54 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Divide the size by EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE(¶m), instead of assuming that the blocksize is always 1024 bytes. Sat Aug 5 12:00:51 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o * mke2fs.c (PRS): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca() is not portable!! In any case putenv() in some systems must take a static character array or malloc()'ed memory; passing memory allocated using alloca() to putenv() is not advisable. * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Use malloc() instead of alloca() --- alloca is not portable! * fsck.c (fsck_device): If the filesystem type is specified by the user using the -t option, let it override the type in /etc/fstab. * fsck.c (strdup): Don't build strdup() if the system defines it. Mon Jun 12 19:15:10 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@dcl) * chattr.c, lsattr.c: Include for 's benefit. * The $(UPROGS) go in bin, not sbin. * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Don't include if it doesn't exist. Mon Jun 12 16:36:04 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o * badblocks.c, chattr.c, dumpe2fs.c, fsck.c, lsattr.c, mke2fs.c, tune2fs.c: Only include getopt.h if HAVE_GETOPT_H is defined. Sat Jun 10 23:37:09 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o * chattr.c: Include errno.h, since we use errno * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If HAVE_MNTENT_H is not defined, explicitly initialize filesys_info to be NULL. * mke2fs.c: Include the stdio.h and errno.h header files Thu Jun 8 13:25:23 1995 Miles Bader * mke2fs.c: Only include if we can. (get_size): Don't try to use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl unless it's defined. (check_mount): Only check to see if the device is mounted if HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure). * fsck.c (load_fs_info): Only try to get info about filesystems if HAVE_MNTENT_H is defined (by configure). (main): Allocate space for a new fsck_path instead of append to a statically sized buffer. (PRS): Use alloca to allocate the new path string, instead of having a fixed size buffer (which was the wrong size anyway). * chattr.c (chattr_dir_proc): Use alloca to allocate space for a filename instead of using a fixed-size buffer. * lsattr.c (lsattr_dir_proc): Ditto. * mklost+fond.c (main): Calculate the actual needed size for the path buffer instead of using MAXPATHLEN (which not all systems have). * badblocks.c: Only include linux include files if we have them. (flush_bufs): New function to flush a block device, optionally syncing it first. This replaces other copies of this code. (test_ro): Replace calls to ioctl with flush_bufs(). (test_rw): Ditto. * Makefile.in: Rewritten to conform to GNU coding standards and support separate compilation directories. Sat Mar 11 10:59:58 1995 Theodore Y. Ts'o * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem. * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a very large partition. * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device, spurious seek errors aren't reported. * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE ioctl, which most do.) * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at during 0.5b development.) Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch measure). Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.) Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed. * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to extract the exit status. In other cases, return FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal. Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the new options. Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval. Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11) * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that all partitions should be checked. Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11) * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap structures. * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by the effective uid. Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options: -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid. Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11) * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem. Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj) * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the read-only test. (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available. * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes. * lsattr.c: Added support for long format. * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message. (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available. Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11) * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so, print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.) (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor statistics if necessary.
