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).
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)
a read/write test on the disk. Update the man pages to encourage
using the -c option, and to discouraging running badblocks separately,
since users tend to forget to set the blocksize when running
badblocks.
badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional
parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of num_blocks. (Debian
nbug #87216)
badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count, which
is a more accurate description of the variable.
dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs to dump
out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image file.
Many files:
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.
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.
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: Added documentation for the -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.
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.
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.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.
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)
ChangeLog, e2fsck.8.in:
e2fsck.8.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)
ChangeLog, uuid_generate.3.in:
uuid_generate.8.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)
e2label.c: Fix -Wall warning by making functions static.
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.
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).
resize2fs.h: If EXT2_FLAT_INCLUDES is defined, then assume all
of the ext2-specific header files are in a flat directory.
ext2_block_move.c, ext2_inode_move.c, extent.c, resize2fs.c,
resize2fs.h: Rename variables named "new" to "new_block",
"new_inode", or "new_loc" to avoid C++ reserved word
clash.
ext2_block_move.c, ext2_inode_move.c, extent.c, resize2fs.c,
sim_progress.c: Use ext2fs_get_memory(),
ext2fs_free_memory(), et. al., instead of malloc() and
free().
ext2_block_move.c, ext2_inode_move.c, extent.c: Explicitly cast
all assignments from void * to be compatible with C++.
banalysis.c, banalysis.h, ext2_inode_move.c, ext2_block_move.c:
Change private to priv_data to avoid C++ namespace clash.
ChangeLog, badblocks.8.in:
badblocks.8.in: Add documentation for the -s option.
