E2fsprogs 1.42.7 (January 21, 2013)
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
Add warnings to mke2fs, resize2fs, and tune2fs that the bigalloc and
|
|
quota features are still under development. For more information
|
|
please see:
|
|
* https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Bigalloc
|
|
* https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Quota
|
|
|
|
Add some new options to filefrag from Lustre's patches to e2fsprogs:
|
|
* add -k option to print extents in kB-sized units (like df -k)
|
|
* add -b {blocksize} to print extents in blocksize units
|
|
* add -e option to print extent format, even when FIBMAP is used
|
|
* add -X option to print extents in hexadecimal format
|
|
|
|
Fix resize2fs so that it can handle off-line resizes of file systems
|
|
with the flex_bg feature but without a resize_inode (or if we run out
|
|
of reserved gdt blocks). This also fixes a problem where if the user
|
|
creates a filesystem with a restricted number of reserved gdt blocks,
|
|
an off-line resize which grows the file system could potentially
|
|
result in file system corruption.
|
|
|
|
Fix a resize2fs bug which could cause it to corrupt bigalloc file
|
|
systems when doing an off-line resize.
|
|
|
|
Further optimize resize2fs so it doesn't use quite as much CPU when
|
|
resizing very large file systems.
|
|
|
|
Fixed 32-bit overflow bugs which could cause resize2fs to fail and
|
|
possibly corrupt the file system while resizing 64-bit file systems.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in mke2fs where parsing "-E resize=NNN" will result in a
|
|
mke2fs crash due to a divide-by-zero if the 64bit file system feature
|
|
is enabled.
|
|
|
|
Add better error checking to mke2fs to check for invalid parameters
|
|
when creating bigalloc file system.
|
|
|
|
When creating bigalloc filesystems, the -g option to mke2fs will now
|
|
specify the number of clusters per block group.
|
|
|
|
Add to debugfs the functionality to corrupt a specific file system
|
|
block via the "zap_block" command.
|
|
|
|
Add to debugfs the functionality to print out a hex dump of a block in
|
|
the file system via the "block_dump" command.
|
|
|
|
Add to debugfs the functionality to manipulate the extent tree
|
|
directly via the "extent_open" command.
|
|
|
|
Fixed debugfs's mknod command so that it updates the block group
|
|
statistics.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck so it can detect and fix inconsistencies in the interior
|
|
nodes of an inode's extent tree.
|
|
|
|
Fix a potential memory corruption failure in e2fsck's error path if
|
|
the call to ext2fs_open2() fails.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck if its logging function is enabled in e2fsck.conf, and the
|
|
resulting file name for the log file is longer than 100 bytes, that it
|
|
properly handles this situation instead of crashing.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now report the amount of memory that it attempted to
|
|
allocate when a memory allocation request fails, to make it easier to
|
|
track down the problem.
|
|
|
|
Fix mke2fs's handling of the mmp_update_interval option. (Addresses
|
|
Lustre Bug: LU-1888)
|
|
|
|
E2image can now include all data blocks in the e2image output file
|
|
when the user specifies the -a option.
|
|
|
|
If e2fsprogs is compiled without --enable-quota, make sure that
|
|
tune2fs can not turn on the feature for new-style quota support, since
|
|
afterwards, none of the e2fsprogs tools will be willing to touch that
|
|
file system.
|
|
|
|
Optimize e2fsck's so that it uses much less CPU for large file
|
|
systems. This can result in significant speedups, especially on
|
|
CPU-constrained systems. This was primarily done by optimizing
|
|
libext2fs's bitmap functions. (Addresses Google Bug: #7534813)
|
|
|
|
Fix debugfs's htree command so that all its messages are sent through
|
|
the pager.
|
|
|
|
Fixed debugfs's "dump_file" and "cat" functions work correctly
|
|
on file systems whose block size is greater than 8k.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2freefrag so it works on 64-bit file systems, and so it uses much
|
|
less memory. (Addresses Google Bug: 7269948)
|
|
|
|
Update the spd_readdir.c file in the contrib directory to include some
|
|
additions which were made in 2008 that didn't get folded into the
|
|
version which we checked into the e2fsprogs source tree. These
|
|
enhancements include thread safety, support for readdir64_r(), and
|
|
safe_getenv() support in case spd_readdir.so is used for setuid binaries.
|
|
|
|
Update Czech, Dutch, French, German, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese
|
|
translations
|
|
|
|
Add a command to debugfs to create symlinks.
|
|
|
|
Document the bigalloc feature in the mke2fs man page. (Addresses
|
|
Debian Bug: #669730)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix gcc -Wall nits.
|
|
|
|
Fix a spelling typo in the libext2fs texinfo documentation.
|
|
|
|
Change the output from "make check" so that tools such as emacs's "M-x
|
|
compile" does not mistake the output as containing a compiler error.
|
|
|
|
Export two new functions from libext2fs: ext2fs_extent_node_split()
|
|
and ext2fs_extent_goto2().
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_extents_fix_parents() was fixed so it does not modify the
|
|
location of the extent handle if its current location is at an
|
|
interior node, rather than a leaf node of an inode's extent tree.
|
|
|
|
Add a regression test to assure that e2fsck can correctly fix an
|
|
inconsistent interior node in an inode's extent tree.
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_{mark,unmark,test}_block_bitmap_range2() functions now
|
|
correctly support bigalloc file systems which use store block usage
|
|
information in units of clusters.
|
|
|
|
Fixed the help text in the configure script for --enable-quota.
|
|
|
|
The m68k-specific bitops code has been removed since they were
|
|
incorrectly treating bit numbers with the high bit set as signed
|
|
integers. Furthermore, modern compilers do a good enough job
|
|
optimizing the generic code there is no point in having the m68k
|
|
specific asm statements.
|
|
|
|
Fixed how we link the test programs so they always use the static
|
|
libraries, so that we test using the libraries which we have just
|
|
built.
|
|
|
|
Update config.guess and config.sub to the latest versions from the GNU
|
|
project.
|
|
|
|
Fixed the com_err.texinfo file so that it can produce a valid
|
|
postscript/pdf printed output.
|
|
|
|
Add a regression test which checks debugfs's ability to create
|
|
symlinks, named FIFO's, and device nodes.
|
|
|
|
Add a function ext2fs_symlink(), which creates symlinks to the
|
|
libext2fs library.
|
|
|
|
Add debugging code so we can test old kernel interfaces for online
|
|
resize to resize2fs. This backwards compatibility checking is keyed
|
|
off of the RESIZE2FS_KERNEL_VERSION, which is designed to allow us to
|
|
test the functionality of the kernel's older resize ioctls without
|
|
needing to install an old version of resize2fs, and to also test a
|
|
modern resize2fs's ability to work with older kernels without having
|
|
to install an older version of the kernel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.42.6 (September 21, 2012)
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
When mke2fs creates file systems with lazy itable initialization, the
|
|
progress updates for writing the inode table happens so quickly that
|
|
on a serial console, the time to write the progress updates can be the
|
|
bottleneck. So mke2fs will now only update its progress indicators
|
|
once a second.
|
|
|
|
Resize2fs will skip initializing the inode tables if the kernel
|
|
supports lazy_itable_init, which speeds up growing off-line growth of
|
|
uninit_bg file systems significantly. Resize2fs will now also
|
|
correctly set the itable_unused field in the block group descriptor to
|
|
speed up the first e2fsck after the file system is grown.
|
|
|
|
Resize2fs has been fixed so that on-line resizing of meta_bg file
|
|
systems work correctly. This is needed to grow file system which are
|
|
larger than 16T.
|
|
|
|
Resize2fs will now correctly handle resizing file systems to 16TB on
|
|
32-bit file systems when "16TB" is specified on the command line.
|
|
|
|
Fix mke2fs so that it will be careful to set the reserved blocks ratio
|
|
larger than 50%; this can happen when creating small file systems and
|
|
when the last block group is dropped because there are not enough
|
|
blocks to support the metadata blocks in the last block group.
|
|
|
|
Fixed spelling mistake in debugfs's help message.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a potential seg fault in e2fsck when there is an I/O error while
|
|
reading the superblock.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues (Addresses Debian Bug #677497)
|
|
|
|
Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
|
|
#3559210)
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
The configure option --enable-relative-symlink was broken so that it
|
|
needed to be --enable-symlink-relative-symlinks. We will support both
|
|
for at least two years, but then the worng configure option will be
|
|
removed.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a regression introduced in 1.42.5 so the link order for
|
|
e2fsprogs' libraries will be correct for both static and shared
|
|
linking. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3554345)
|
|
|
|
Add support for e2fsprogs to be compiled using clang/LLVM.
|
|
|
|
Fix portability problems on non-Linux systems: avoid compile failures
|
|
on systems that don't have malloc.h
|
|
|
|
Fix f_mmp regression test suite so that debugfs gets killed if the
|
|
test is interrupted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.42.5 (July 29, 2012)
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug with mke2fs where if there is only 8 inodes per block
|
|
group, the calculation of the number of uninitialized inodes in the
|
|
first block group would go negative. This resulted in "mke2fs -N 256
|
|
-t ext4 /tmp/foo.img 256m" trying to write so many blocks that /tmp
|
|
would run out of space. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3528892)
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in how e2fsck would uniquify directory entry names.
|
|
(AddressesSourceforge Bug: #3540545)
|
|
|
|
Previously, e2fsck would only allow a mounted file system to be
|
|
checked if it was the root file system and it was mounted read-only.
|
|
Now it will allow any file system mounted read-only to be checked if
|
|
the -f option is specified. This makes it easier to test how e2fsck
|
|
handles checking file systems which are mounted without having to test
|
|
on the root file system.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a problem if e2fsck where if the root file system is mounted
|
|
read-only, e2fsck would not clear an error indication in the journal
|
|
superblock. Combined with a kernel bug, this would cause the e2fsck
|
|
to check the file system after every single boot.
|
|
|
|
The e4defrag program can now handle device symlinks, such as
|
|
/dev/mapper/testvg-testlv, instead of insisting on a less
|
|
human-friendly name such as /dev/dm-2. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla:
|
|
#707209)
|
|
|
|
Fixed filefrag so it will not crash with a segfault on files from a
|
|
virtual file system such as /proc. (e.g., "filefrag
|
|
/proc/partitions")
|
|
|
|
Fixed filefrag so that it correctly reports the number of extents.
|
|
(Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #840848)
|
|
|
|
Fixed a file descriptor leak in logsave which could cause it to hang.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #682592)
|
|
|
|
Fixed e2fsck so that the file system is marked as containing an error
|
|
if the user chooses not to fix the quota usage information.
|
|
|
|
Fixed tune2fs so that it correctly removes the quota feature when the
|
|
last quota inode is removed.
|
|
|
|
Fix tune2fs so that after removing a quota inode, the block bitmap is
|
|
updated; otherwise, e2fsck would complain after running 'tune2fs -O
|
|
^quota <dev>'.
|
|
|
|
Fix tune2fs so that when converting a file system from using legacy
|
|
quota files to the new quota file system feature with hidden quota
|
|
files, the accounting for these files is handled correctly so that
|
|
e2fsck doesn't complain.
|
|
|
|
Improved e2fsck's verbose reporting statistics, and allow the more
|
|
verbose reporting to be enabled via /etc/e2fsck.conf.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues (Addresses Debian Bug #678395)
|
|
|
|
Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #680114)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Fixed portability problems on other operating systems (e.g., Hurd and
|
|
FreeBsd) caused by the attempted inclusion of <sys/quota.h>.
|
|
|
|
Make sure that shared libraries link with the shared libraries built
|
|
in the build tree, instead of the system provided libraries.
|
|
Previously, libraries and executables were linked with the system
|
|
libraries if present, and possibly using static archives instead of
|
|
shared libraries. This was also problematic since if libext2fs.so is
|
|
linked with a static libcom_err.a from system, the build system would
|
|
attempt to link without -lpthread. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
|
|
#3542572)
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.42.4 (June 12, 2012)
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Fixed more 64-bit block number bugs (which could end up corrupting
|
|
file systems!) in e2fsck, debugfs, and libext2fs.
|
|
|
|
Fixed e2fsck's handling of the journal's s_errno field. E2fsck was
|
|
not properly propagating the journal's s_errno field to the superblock
|
|
field; it was not checking this field if the journal had already been
|
|
replayed, and if the journal *was* being replayed, the "error bit"
|
|
wasn't getting flushed out to disk.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a false positive complaint by e2fsck if all of the extents in
|
|
the last extent tree block are uninitalized and located after the end
|
|
of the file as defined by i_size.
|
|
|
|
The dumpe2fs will now display the journal's s_errno field if it is
|
|
non-zero, and it will also display the journal's 64-bit feature flag
|
|
if present.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck so that it always opens the device file in exclusive mode
|
|
when it might need to modify the file system, and never if the -n
|
|
option is specified. (Previously, there were a few corner cases where
|
|
it might get things wrong in either direction.)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now correctly truncates or deallocates extent-mapped inodes on
|
|
the orphan list. The root cause was a bug in libext2fs's block
|
|
iterator which could end up skipping an extent when the last block in
|
|
an extent is removed, causing the current extent to be removed from
|
|
the extent tree.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now correctly sets the global free block and inode counts when
|
|
truncating or removing inodes on the orphan list in preen mode.
|
|
Previously, it would leave these values would be set incorrectly,
|
|
which is largely a cosmetic issue since the kernel no longer pays
|
|
attention to those fields, but it can cause spurious complaints in
|
|
subsequent e2fsck runs.
|
|
|
|
Fix i_blocks accounting when the libext2fs library needs to add or
|
|
remove an extent tree block on bigalloc file systems.
|
|
|
|
The lsattr and chattr programs now support the No_COW flag for the
|
|
benefit of btrfs.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs now interprets date strings of the form @ddd as ddd seconds
|
|
after the beginning of the epoch. This is handy when setting an inode
|
|
number into the d_time field when debugging orphan list handling.
|
|
|
|
Fix a precedence bug with built-in quota support which might result in
|
|
e2fsck paying attention to the quota inode field even if the built-in
|
|
quota feature flag is not set. Fortunately, in practice that
|
|
superblock field should be zero for non-built-in quota file systems,
|
|
so it's unlikely this bug would have caused problems.
|
|
|
|
Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #674453,
|
|
#674694)
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
The regression test suite can now run the integration tests in the
|
|
tests directory in parallel, via "make -jN check".
|
|
|
|
Add new test, f_zero_extent_length which tests e2fsck's handling of
|
|
the case where all of the extents in the last extent tree block are
|
|
uninitialized extents after i_size.
|
|
|
|
Add a new test, f_jnl_errno, which checks handling of an error
|
|
indication set in the journal superblock.
|
|
|
|
Fix the test f_jnl_64bit so that it properly checks e2fsck's handling
|
|
of a 64-bit journal.
|
|
|
|
Add two tests, f_orphan_indirect_inode and f_orphan_extent_inode which
|
|
tests e2fsck's handling of orphan inodes in preen mode, and truncation
|
|
of extent inodes on the orphan list.
|
|
|
|
Fixed more OS X portability issues.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.42.3 (May 14, 2012)
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in the Unix I/O manager which could cause corruption of file
|
|
systems with more than 16TB when e2fsprogs is compiled in 32-bit mode
|
|
(i.e., when unsigned long is 32-bits). Also fix a bug which caused
|
|
dumpe2fs to incorrectly display block numbers > 32-bits.
|
|
|
|
Improve the support for integrated quota files (where quota is a first
|
|
class supported feature using hidden files in the ext4 file system).
|
|
Previously the quota file was getting rewritten even when it was not
|
|
necessary, and e2fsck would erroneously try to hide quota files which
|
|
were already hidden.
|
|
|
|
Quiet complaints in e2fsck when the total free blocks or inodes are
|
|
incorrect in the superblock after an system crash, since we don't
|
|
update nor depend on the superblock summaries at each commit boundary.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a regression introduced in 1.42.2 which would cause applications
|
|
outside of e2fsprogs which did not pass the EXT2_FLAG_64BIT (and so
|
|
would were still using the legacy 32-bit bitmaps) to crash. This was
|
|
due to missing 32-bit compat code in side the function
|
|
ext2fs_find_first_zero_generic_bmap(). (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla:
|
|
#808421)
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug which would cause mke2fs to fail creating the journal if
|
|
/etc/mtab and /proc/mounts are missing. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
|
|
#3509398)
|
|
|
|
Updated/fixed various man pages.
|
|
|
|
Update Czech, Dutch, French, German, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese
|
|
translations
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian Packaging issues.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Change the nonsensically wrong types in the function signature of the
|
|
inline function ext2fs_find_first_zero_block_bitmap2(). This was
|
|
caused by a cut and paste error; fortunately no code in e2fsprogs used
|
|
this inline function, and there are any users of this functions
|
|
outside of e2fsprogs.
|
|
|
|
Add support for systems which have valloc(), but which do have
|
|
posix_memalign() nor memalign() (such as MacOS 10.5).
|
|
|
|
Refactor and clean up the allocation of aligned buffers for Direct I/O
|
|
support. Previously some allocations were requesting a greater
|
|
alignment factor that what was strictly necessary. Also optimize
|
|
reading and writing bitmaps using Direct I/O when the size of the
|
|
bitmap did not fully cover the file system blocksize.
|
|
|
|
Reserve the codepoints for the INCOMPAT features LARGEDATA and
|
|
INLINEDATA.
|
|
|
|
Improved the regression test suite by adding some new integration
|
|
tests (f_jnl_32bit, f_jnl_64bit) which detect breakage of the on-disk
|
|
jbd2 format, as well as f_eofblocks which tests the new handling of
|
|
uninitialized and initialized blocks beyond i_size. Also add a new
|
|
unit test which verifies 32-bit bitmaps support and the new
|
|
find_first_zero primitives.
|
|
|
|
Add a few dependencies to fix parallel (make -j) builds.
|
|
|
|
Removed bash'isms which were breaking the regression test suite on
|
|
systems where /bin/sh is not bash.
|
|
|
|
The config.guess and config.sub have been updated to the 2012-02-10
|
|
version.
|
|
|
|
Fix a portability problem caused by assuming the present of mntent.h
|
|
means that setmntent() exists. Instead, explicitly test for this in
|
|
the configure script.
|
|
|
|
If the sys/signal.h header file does not exist, don't try to include
|
|
it, since it's not available on all systems.
|
|
|
|
Add support for systems that do not support getpwuid_r()
|
|
|
|
The configure script now supports a new option,
|
|
--enable-relative-symlinks, which will install relative symlinks for
|
|
the ELF shared library files. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3520767).
|
|
|
|
When building BSD shared libraries make sure the LDFLAGS variable is
|
|
passed to the linker. Fixing this allows, for example, e2fsprogs to
|
|
be built in 32-bit mode on Mac OS X Lion (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
|
|
#3517272)
|

E2fsprogs 1.42.2 (March 27, 2012)
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
The resize2fs program uses much less CPU and is much faster for very
|
|
large file systems. (Addresses Debian Bug: #663237)
|
|
|
|
The seti and freei commands in debugfs can now take an optional length
|
|
argument to set and clear a contiguous range of inodes.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now make explicit checks for the EOFBLOCKS_FL, since we
|
|
plan to remove support for it from the kernel file system driver. It
|
|
really wasn't very useful and was causing more problems than it
|
|
solves. Since e2fsck will complain if inodes that should have
|
|
EOFBLOCKS_FL do not have the flag set, we are going to remove this
|
|
check from e2fsprogs first, and then only remove the flag from the
|
|
kernel much later.
|
|
|
|
The mke2fs program can now use direct I/O via "mke2fs -D". This will
|
|
slow down the mke2fs, but it makes it more polite on a loaded server
|
|
by limiting the amount of memory that gets dirtied by mke2fs when it
|
|
is using buffered I/O.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck was needlessly closing and re-opening the file system as a side
|
|
effect of adding Multiple Mount Protection (MMP). This isn't
|
|
necessary for non-MMP file systems, so drop it.
|
|
|
|
Print errors returned by ext2fs_open2() and ext2fs_check_desc() so we
|
|
can more easily diagnose memory allocation failures caused by
|
|
insufficient memory. E2fsck will now abort if there are memory
|
|
allocation failures when the file system is initially opened and
|
|
during the block group descriptor checks. (Addresses Google Bug:
|
|
#6208183)
|
|
|
|
If there are incorrect block group checks, e2fsck will now report the
|
|
incorrect and corrected checksum values.
|
|
|
|
The e2fsck progam can now write log files containing the details of
|
|
the problems that were found and fixed directly, via configuration
|
|
parameters in /etc/e2fsck.conf.
|
|
|
|
Added the ability to limit the number of messages reported by e2fsck
|
|
for a given problem type. This avoids a potential bottleneck if there
|
|
is a serial console which can cause a boot sequence to take a long
|
|
time if e2fsck needs to report many, many file system errors.
|
|
|
|
The dumpe2fs, debugfs, and tune2fs now use rbtree bitmaps, which cause
|
|
them to use much less memory for large file systems.
|
|
|
|
The dumpe2fs program will now print the expected block group checksum
|
|
if it is incorrect. This helps to diagnose problems caused by
|
|
incorrect block group checksums.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now checks for extents with a zero length, since the kernel
|
|
will oops if it comes accross such a corrupted data structure. (See
|
|
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42859)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck has a number of bugs relating to discard that have been fixed.
|
|
(1) Fixed a bug which could cause e2fsck to discard portions of the
|
|
inode table which were actually in use. (2) E2fsck will now avoid
|
|
using discard if the block device doesn't zero data on discard, since
|
|
otherwise this could cause problems if the file system gets corrupted
|
|
in the future. (3) E2fsck will now avoid using discard when it is run
|
|
in read-only mode. (4) Fixed a bug which caused e2fsck to not issue
|
|
discards in the last block group.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck's CPU utilization in pass 5 has been optimized, which will
|
|
speed up e2fsck slightly.
|
|
|
|
E2image will now skip copying uninitialized bitmap and inode table
|
|
blocks.
|
|
|
|
Fixed mke2fs -S so it does not corrupt the first block group's
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now check the new sysfs interface to determine if we are
|
|
using the battery or AC mains. (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #3439277)
|
|
|
|
Updated/fixed various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug: #665427)
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian Packaging issues. (Addresses Debian Bug: #665885)
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Fixed various portability issues for non-Linux systems, particularly
|
|
MacOS X, as well as Linux systems running with the just-released glibc
|
|
2.15.
|
|
|
|
Fix file descriptor leak in ext2fs_close() if the file system with
|
|
uninit_bg is opened read/only with a backup superblock. (Addresses
|
|
SourceForge Bug: #3444351)
|
|
|
|
Fixed an invalid return in a non-void function in the quota code.
|
|
(Addresses SourceForge Bug: #3468423)
|
|
|
|
Fixed the debian rules file so that the calls to dpkg-buildflags works
|
|
when the shell is dash.
|
|
|
|
The debian package build now uses V=1 so that there is more
|
|
information about potential build failures in debian buildd logs.
|
|
|
|
If the uninit flags get cleared by functions such as
|
|
ext2fs_new_inode() or ext2fs_new_block2(), we now make sure the
|
|
superblock is marked dirty and the block group descriptor checksum is
|
|
updated if necessary.
|
|
|
|
The debian rules file will now try to load debian/rules.custom of it
|
|
exists. This flie can skip various builds for speed reasons if there
|
|
is no need for the e2fsck-static or udeb packages. Available
|
|
customizations in the rules file includes SKIP_STATIC=yes,
|
|
SKIP_BF=yes, and SKIP_DIETLIBC=yes.
|
|
|
|
In addition, if the file misc/mke2fs.conf.custom.in exists in the
|
|
source tree, it will be used instead of the standard misc.conf file in
|
|
the upstream sources. This makes it easier for Debian-derived systems
|
|
to distribute a custom mke2fs.conf file without having to worry about
|
|
merge issues if future versions of e2fsprogs makes changes in the
|
|
upstream default version of mke2fs.conf.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.42.1 (February 17, 2012)
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
The mke2fs and e2fsck now use significantly less memory when creating
|
|
or checking very large file systems. This was enabled by adding
|
|
extent-based bitmaps which are stored using a red-block tree, since
|
|
block and inode allocations tend to be contiguous.
|
|
|
|
The command mke2fs -S is used as a last ditch recovery command to
|
|
write new superblock and block group descriptors, but _not_ to destroy
|
|
the inode table in hopes of recovering from a badly corrupted file
|
|
system. So if the uninit_bg feature is enabled, mke2fs -S will now
|
|
set the unused inodes count field to zero. Otherwise, e2fsck -fy
|
|
after using mke2fs -S would leave the file system completely empty.
|
|
|
|
Since mke2fs recognizes mke3fs in argv[0] to mean "mkfs.ext3", also
|
|
honor "mke4fs" to work the same as "mke2fs.ext4", since RHEL5 has
|
|
installed an mke2fs binary using that name.
|
|
|
|
The usage and help messages for the -G, -t and -T options in mke2fs
|
|
have been fixed.
|
|
|
|
If e2fsck needs to use the backup group descriptors, the
|
|
ext2fs_open2() function clears the UNINIT bits to ensure all of the
|
|
inodes in the file systems get scanned. However, the code which reset
|
|
the UNINIT flags did not also recalculate the checksum, which produced
|
|
many spurious (and scary) e2fsck messages. This has been fixed by
|
|
resetting cheksums when the UNINIT bits are cleared.
|
|
|
|
Relax a check in e2fsck which required that the block bitmap to be
|
|
initialized when the inode bitmap is in use. This will allow us to
|
|
eventually eliminate code from the kernel which forcibly initialized
|
|
the block bitmap when the inode bitmap is first used, requiring an
|
|
extra journal credit and disk write. (Addresses Google Bug: #5944440)
|
|
|
|
Make sure rdebugfs (which may be installed setuid or setgid disk) does
|
|
not honor environment variables if euid != uid or egid != gid.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs's ncheck command has been optimized and now is much more
|
|
robust with faced with corrupted file systems. The ncheck command
|
|
also now has a -c option which will verify the file type information
|
|
in the directory entry to see if matches the inode's mode bits. This
|
|
is extremely useful when trying to use debugsfs to determine which
|
|
parts of the file system metadata can be trusted.
|
|
|
|
E2image will try to use ftruncate64() to set the i_size for raw
|
|
images, instead of writing a single null byte. This avoid allocating
|
|
an extra block to the raw image, for those file systems and/or
|
|
operating systems that support this. (Linux does.) In addition, fix
|
|
a logic bug that caused the file to not be properly extended if the
|
|
size of the last hole was exactly an multiple of a megabyte.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in resize2fs where for 1k and 2k file systems, where
|
|
s_first_data_block is non-zero, this wasn't taken into account when
|
|
calculate the minimum file system size for use with the -M option.
|
|
|
|
Fixed the badblocks program to honor the -s flag when in read-only -t
|
|
mode. (Addresses Debian Bug #646629)
|
|
|
|
Update Czech, Dutch, French, Polish, and Sweedish translation from the
|
|
Translation Project.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian Packaging issues so that dpkg-buildflags is used
|
|
if present, which allows e2fsprogs to be built with security hardening
|
|
flags. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #654457)
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in ext2fs_clear_generic_bmap() when used for 32-bit bitmaps.
|
|
This was only an issue for programs compiled against e2fsprogs 1.41
|
|
that manipulate bitmaps directly. (Addresses Sourceforge Bugs:
|
|
#3451486)
|
|
|
|
The libext2fs library now uses sysconf() to fetch the page size, instead
|
|
of the deprecated getpagesize().
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_get_pathname() function will return a partial path if an a
|
|
directory in the path is not a directory, displaying it as an inode
|
|
number in angle brackets instead of giving up and displaying an error.
|
|
This is much more helpful when a user is trying to debug a corrupted
|
|
file system.
|
|
|
|
Codepoints for the RO_COMPAT_REPLICA feature has been reserved.
|
|
|
|
Added a new library function, ext2fs_file_get_inode_num(), for use by
|
|
fuse2fs.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in ext2fs_file_set_size2() so that when it is truncating a
|
|
file, it actually works.
|
|
|
|
The block iterator now properly honors the BLOCK_ABORT flag for
|
|
extent-based flags. Previously, it didn't, which generally made code
|
|
be less efficient, but it could cause bugs in ext2fs_link(), for
|
|
example, by causing it to insert multiple directory entries.
|
|
|
|
Fixed an (harmless other than causing a compiler warning) use of an
|
|
uninitialized variable in e2fsck's MMP code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.42 (November 29, 2011)
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
This release of e2fsprogs has support for file systems > 16TB. Online
|
|
resize requires kernel support which will hopefully be in Linux
|
|
version 3.2. Offline support is not yet available for > 16TB file
|
|
systems, but will be coming.
|
|
|
|
This release of e2fsprogs has support for clustered allocation. This
|
|
reduces the number of block (now cluster) bitmaps by allocating and
|
|
deallocating space in contiguous power-of-2 collections of blocks,
|
|
which are called clustered. This is a file system level feature,
|
|
called 'bigalloc', which must be enabled when the file system is
|
|
initially formatted. It is not backwards compatible with older
|
|
kernels.
|
|
|
|
Added support for the Multi-Mount Protection (MMP) feature.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck more efficiently uses scratch files for really big file
|
|
systems. (This is a feature that has to be turned on explicitly; see
|
|
[scratch_files] in the e2fsck.conf man page.)
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in e2fsck where if the free blocks and inodes counts are
|
|
incorrect, e2fsck would fix them without printing an error message.
|
|
This would cause a "*** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***" message without
|
|
any explanation of what was fixed.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will no longer attempt to clone an extended attribute block in
|
|
pass1b handling if the file system does not support extended
|
|
attributes.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will be more careful accidentally asking the user to continue
|
|
if the file system is mounted, so that an escape sequence won't cause
|
|
a false positive. (Addresses Debian Bug: #619859)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now uses less cpu time in pass 5 when large portions of the
|
|
bitmaps are uninitialized.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will no longer segault when a corrupted file system has a bad
|
|
extent, and removing it leads to a block needing to be deallocated.
|
|
(Addresses SourceForge Bug: #2971800)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will catch termination signals (segfaults, bus errors, sigfpe)
|
|
and print debugging information to make it easier to find potential
|
|
problems.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will check to see if the bad block inode looks insane, and will
|
|
skip trying to use if it certain fields which should be zero look
|
|
non-zero. This is to avoid a corrupted bad block inode causing e2fsck
|
|
to get confused and do more harm than good.
|
|
|
|
If e2fsck modifies certain superblock fields which the kernel doesn't
|
|
look at, it will now mark the superblock as dirty without marking the
|
|
file system as changed. This avoids signalling the init scripts that
|
|
a reboot is necessary, since the kernel isn't going to look at those
|
|
fields, so it won't care if they have been changed.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in the libext2fs library (in the binary search routine of
|
|
the icount abstraction) that could (very, very rarely) cause e2fsck to
|
|
die in the middle of pass 1 or pass 2 processing.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will not try to do a discard operation if the -n option was
|
|
specified on the command line.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now supports an extended "discard" option which will cause
|
|
e2fsck to attempt discard all unused blocks after a full, successful
|
|
file system check.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will check for the bad block inode to make sure it looks sane
|
|
before trusting it, to avoid causing more harm than good to the file
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now returns additional status bits in its exit code if it
|
|
aborts early in the e2fsck run.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now correctly calculates the maximum file size in the case of
|
|
the huge_file file system feature enabled without extents.
|
|
|
|
The mke2fs and e2fsck programs now tries to use the punch hole command
|
|
as a "discard" when operating on normal files.
|
|
|
|
The e2image program now supports the qcow2 format, which is a more
|
|
efficient way of capturing file system dumps.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now supports the [devices] stanza in mke2fs.conf which allows
|
|
per-device defaults to be specified in the configuration file.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now supports the reserved_ratio relation in the [defaults] and
|
|
[fs_types] section in mke2fs.conf.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now creates extent-mapped directories for the root and
|
|
lost+found directories.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will skip zero'ing the journal if the extended option
|
|
"lazy_journal_init" is specified. This can save a lot of time, but it
|
|
does add a small amount of risk if the system crashes before the
|
|
journal is overwritten entirely once. It is epsecially useful for
|
|
testing.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will now create file systems that enable user namespace
|
|
extended attributes and with time- and mount count-based file
|
|
system checks disabled.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will not set a stride or strip size of one block based on block
|
|
device attributes obtained from sysfs.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now displays a progress report during the discard process.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now handles extreme file system parameters correctly which
|
|
previously caused the inodes per group to drop below 8, leading to a
|
|
segfault. (The inodes per group must be a multiple of 8, but the code
|
|
didn't correctly deal with an inodes per group count less than 8.)
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs and tune2fs previously would give an error if the user tried
|
|
setting the stride and stripe-width parameters to zero; but this is
|
|
necessary to disable the stride and stripe-width settings. So allow
|
|
setting these superblock fields to zero. (Addresses Google Bug:
|
|
#4988557)
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now gives a warning if the auto-detected block size exceeds the
|
|
system's page size.
|
|
|
|
If the enable_periodic_fsck option is false in /etc/mke2fs.conf (which
|
|
is the default), mke2fs will now set the s_max_mnt_count superblock
|
|
field to -1, instead of 0. Kernels older then 3.0 will print a
|
|
spurious message on each mount then they see a s_max_mnt_count set to
|
|
0, which will annoy users. (Addresses Debian Bug: #632637)
|
|
|
|
The default mke2fs.conf now has entries for "big" and "huge", which
|
|
are needed for very big file systems.
|
|
|
|
The resize2fs program now has support for a new online resize ioctl
|
|
that can support file systems > 16TB, once it arrives in v3.x kernels.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug which caused resize2fs to fail when shrinking an empty file
|
|
system down to its minimal size. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug #3404051)
|
|
|
|
Fixed tune2fs's mount options parsing. (Addresses Debian Bug: #641667)
|
|
|
|
Allow tune2fs to remove external journals if the device can not be
|
|
found.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs's icheck will now correctly find inodes which use the
|
|
searched-for block as an extended attribute block.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs now has a new "punch" command which remove blocks from the
|
|
middle of an inode.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs now has a new "e2freefrag" command which analyzes the free
|
|
space fragmentation of the file system, using the same code as the
|
|
e2freefrag program.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs now has a "filefrag" command which displays information about
|
|
a file's fragmentation.
|
|
|
|
Add support to build a metadata-only, read-only, stripped-down version
|
|
of debugfs called rdebugfs.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a potential stack overrun bug in debugfs.
|
|
|
|
The badblocks program now correctly recovers from I/O errors when
|
|
direct I/O is being used. The badblocks command now also supports a
|
|
-B option which forces the use of buffered I/O, and the -v option will
|
|
provide a more detailed breakdown of read, write, and failed
|
|
comparison errors.
|
|
|
|
Added e4defrag tool which uses the EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl.
|
|
|
|
Added support for journals larger than 2GB.
|
|
|
|
Support using both hard links and symlinks when installing e2fsprogs.
|
|
|
|
Add overflow checking to tune2fs -i's fsck interval, which must fit in
|
|
a 32-bit field.
|
|
|
|
The debugfs command now has a new 'blocks' command which prints out
|
|
data blocks of a particular inode in a format which is useful for
|
|
scripting.
|
|
|
|
Filefrag will report 0 extents correctly in verbose mode. (Addresses
|
|
RedHat Bugzilla: #653234)
|
|
|
|
Filefrag has been fixed so its -v report prints the correct expected
|
|
block number (previously there had been an off-by-one error). In
|
|
addition, it will now display the number of contiguous extents when -v
|
|
is not specified. This makes it consistent with the number of extents
|
|
printed when the -v option was specified. In addition, the number of
|
|
contiguous extents is far more interesting/useful than the number of
|
|
physical extents for very large files. (Addresses Debian Bug:
|
|
#631498, #644792)
|
|
|
|
Logsave's usage message has been fixed. (Addresses Debian Bug:
|
|
#619788)
|
|
|
|
Avoid an infinite loop in ext2fs_find_block_device() if there are
|
|
symlink loops in /dev caused by a buggy udev.
|
|
|
|
Added a useful "fallocate" program to the contrib directory.
|
|
|
|
Fixed an ABI compatibility problem in libext2fs which broke the dump
|
|
program. Also added back some macros which dump needed so it could
|
|
compile against the latest version of ext2_fs.h (Addresses Debian Bug:
|
|
#636418)
|
|
|
|
Fixed parsing of MNTOPT_ options for tune2fs and debugfs (Addresses
|
|
Debian Bug: #641667)
|
|
|
|
Added internationalization support for libcom_err error table strings.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various spelling mistakes found in various output strings found
|
|
by I18N translators.
|
|
|
|
Update translations: French, Chinese, Germany, Indonesian, Swedish,
|
|
Vietnamese, Polish, Dutch, Czech. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #520985,
|
|
#620659)
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian Packaging issues. (Addresses Debian Bugs:
|
|
#614662, #632169, #641838, #627535, #629355)
|
|
|
|
Updated/clarified man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #639411,
|
|
#642193, #634883)

Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Initial support for quota as an integrated feature, where the quota
|
|
files are hidden system files that are automatically maintained by
|
|
e2fsck is present, although disabled by default. It must be enabled
|
|
by using the configure option --enable-quota.
|
|
|
|
Reserved the on-disk fields for the metadata checksum and snapshot
|
|
features, which are currently in development.
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs library now has the new functions ext2fs_punch(),
|
|
ext2fs_get_memzero() and ext2fs_file_get_inode().
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs library now has support for calculating the crc32c checksum
|
|
(via the new functions ext2fs_crc32c_be and ext2fs_crc32c_le).
|
|
|
|
The I/O manager now supports the discard operation.
|
|
|
|
Reserved file system code points for new 1st class quota feature.
|
|
|
|
Shortened the compilation lines by moving the autoconf defines to
|
|
a config.h header file.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a potential free of an unitialized pointer in
|
|
ext2fs_update_bb_inode().
|
|
|
|
Fixed miscellaneous gcc -Wall and coverity warnings.
|
|
|
|
Fixed portability issues for Mac OS X, Hurd, and FreeBSD.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a build failure when OMIT_COM_ERR is defined.
|
|
|
|
Improved error checking and fixed memory leaks caused by error return
|
|
paths.
|
|
|
|
Add ext2fs_flush2() and ext2fs_close2() which takes a flag to allow
|
|
the fsync() to be skipped.
|
|
|
|
Added a test for extent-mapped journals by mke2fs and tune2fs.
|
|
|
|
Added a test for creating a large (over 4GB) journal using mke2fs.
|
|
|
|
Added a test to make sure the inode size remains constant.
|
|
|
|
The regression test script now prints the list of which tests failed.
|
|
|
|
The regression test system now uses /tmp for its scratch files, which
|
|
is often a tmpfs mounted file system and hence much faster.
|
|
|
|
The i_e2image test was fixed so it works with valgrind.
|
|
|
|
Tests that rely on debugfs are now skipped if debugfs wasn't built.
|
|
|
|
Fixed the dependencies for "make check" so all required dependencies
|
|
are built before running the gression tests.
|
|
|
|
A link to com_err.h is installed in $(includedir) during a "make install".
|
|
|
|
The po/*.gmo files are automatically rebuilt if they are missing or
|
|
out of date. This helps out Debian packaging.
|
|
|
|
Allow ext2fs_get_memalign() to compile on systems that don't have
|
|
posix_memalign().
|
|
|
|
Fixed a namespace leak in libext2fs (tdb_null).
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.41.14 (December 22, 2010)
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
Fix spurious complaint in mke2fs where it would complain if the file
|
|
system type "default" is not defined in mke2fs.conf.
|
|
|
|
The resize2fs program will no longer clear the resize_inode feature
|
|
when the number reserved group descriptor blocks reaches zero. This
|
|
allows for subsequent shrinks of the file system to work cleanly for
|
|
flex_bg file systems.
|
|
|
|
The resize2fs program now handles devices which are exactly 16T;
|
|
previously it would give an error saying that the file system was too
|
|
big.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck (and the libext2fs library) will not use the extended rec_len
|
|
encoding for file systems whose block size is less than 64k, for
|
|
consistency with the kernel.
|
|
|
|
Programming notes
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.41.13 would not compile on big-endian systems. This has
|
|
been fixed. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #3138115)
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_block_iterator2() function passed an incorrect ref_offset
|
|
to its callback function in the case of sparse files. (Addresses
|
|
Sourceforge Bug: #3081087)
|
|
|
|
Fix some type-punning warnings generated by newer versions of gcc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.41.13 (December 13, 2010)
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now supports the extended option "-E journal_only", which
|
|
causes it to only do a journal replay. This is useful for scripts
|
|
that want to first replay the journal and then check to see if it
|
|
contains errors.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now support UUID= and LABEL= specifiers for the -j option
|
|
(which specifies where to find the external journal). (Addresses
|
|
Debian Bug #559315)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now has support for the problems/<problem code>/force_no
|
|
configuration option in e2fsck.conf, which forces a problem to not be
|
|
fixed.
|
|
|
|
Dumpe2fs will now avoid printing large negative offsets for the bitmap
|
|
blocks and instead print a message which is a bit more helpful for
|
|
flex_bg file systems.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will now check the file system type (specified with the -t
|
|
option) to make sure it is defined in the mke2fs.conf file; if it is
|
|
not, it will print an error and abort. If the usage type (specified
|
|
with the -T option) is not defined in mke2fs.conf, mke2fs will print a
|
|
warning but will continue. (Addresses Debian Bug #594609)
|
|
|
|
Clarified error message from resize2fs clarifying that on-line
|
|
shrinking is not supported at all. (Addresses Debian Bug #599786)
|
|
|
|
Fix an e2fsck bug that could cause a PROGRAMMING BUG error to be
|
|
displayed. (Addresses Debian Bug #555456)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will open the external journal in exclusive mode, to prevent
|
|
the journal from getting truncated while it is in use due to a user
|
|
accidentally trying to run e2fsck on a snapshotted file system volume.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug #587531)
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in e2fsck so it has the correct test for the EOFBLOCKS_FL
|
|
flag.
|
|
|
|
The tune2fs program can now set the uninit_bg feature without
|
|
requiring an fsck.
|
|
|
|
The tune2fs, dumpe2fs, and debugfs programs now support the new ext4
|
|
default mount options settings which were added in 2.6.35.
|
|
|
|
The e2fsck and dumpe2fs programs now support the new ext4 superblock
|
|
fields which track where and when the first and most recent file
|
|
system errors occurred. These fields are displayed by dumpe2fs and
|
|
cleared by e2fsck. These new superblock fields were added in 2.6.36.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs now uses a more concicse format for listing extents in its
|
|
stat command. This format also includes the interior extent tree
|
|
blocks, which previously was missing from stat's output for
|
|
extent-based files.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs has a new option, -D, which will request Direct I/O access of
|
|
the file system.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will skip initializing the inode table if a device supports
|
|
discard and the discard operation will result in zero'ed blocks.
|
|
|
|
Badblocks will now correctly backspace over UTF-8 characters when
|
|
displaying its progress bar. (Addresses Gentoo Bug #309909; Addresses
|
|
Debian Bugs #583782 and #587834)
|
|
|
|
E2freefrag will now display the total number of free extents.
|
|
|
|
Resize2fs -P no longer requires a freshly checked filesystem before
|
|
printing the minimum resize size.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a floating point precision error in a binary tree search routine
|
|
that can lead to seg fault in e2fsck and resize2fs.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in e2fsck where if both the original and backup superblock
|
|
are invalid in some way, e2fsck will fail going back to the original
|
|
superblock because it didn't close the backup superblock first, and
|
|
the exclusive open prevented the file system from being reopened.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a big in e2freefrag which caused getopt parsing to fail on
|
|
architectures with unsigned chars. (Addresses Gentoo Bug: #299386)
|
|
|
|
Clarified an mke2fs error message so a missed common in an -E option
|
|
(i.e., mke2fs -t ext4 -E stride=128 stripe-width=512 /dev/sda1")
|
|
results in a more understandable explanation to the user.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now displays the correct valid inode ratio range when
|
|
complaining about an invalid inode ratio specified by the user.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now understands the extended option "discard" and "nodiscard",
|
|
and the older option -K is deprecated. The default of whether
|
|
discards are enabled by default can be controled by the mke2fs.conf
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs's handling of logical and physical sector sizes has been
|
|
improved to reflect the fact that there will be some SSD's with 8k and
|
|
16k physical sectors arriving soon. Mke2fs will no longer force block
|
|
size to be the physical sector size, since there will be devices where
|
|
the physical sector size is larger than the system's page size, and
|
|
hence larger than the maximal supported block size. In addition, if
|
|
the minimal and optimal io size are not exported by the device, and
|
|
the physical sector size is larger than the block size, the physical
|
|
sector size will be used to set the Raid I/O optimization hints in the
|
|
superblock.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now display a better, more specific error message when the
|
|
user enters a typo'ed device name, instead of blathering on about
|
|
alternate superblocks.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian Packaging Issues
|
|
|
|
Updated/clarified man pages (Addresses Debian Bugs: #580236, #594004,
|
|
#589345, #591083; Addresses Launchpad Bug: #505719)
|
|
|
|
Update the Chinese, Chzech, Dutch, French, Germany, Indonesian,
|
|
Polish, Swedish, and Vietnamese translations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix a dependency definition for the static and profiled blkid
|
|
libraries which could cause compile failures in some configurations.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #604629)
|
|
|
|
Add support for Direct I/O in the Unix I/O access layer.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a memory leak in the Unix I/O layer when changing block sizes.
|
|
|
|
Fixed minor memory leaks in mke2fs.
|
|
|
|
Added a new function to the ext2fs library, ext2fs_get_memalign().
|
|
|
|
The tst_super_size test program will check to make sure the superblock
|
|
fields are correctly aligned and will print them out so they can be
|
|
manually checked for correctness.
|
|
|
|
Fixed some makefile dependencies for test programs in lib/ext2fs.
|
|
|
|
Reserved the feature flags and superblock fields needed for the Next3
|
|
snapshot feature.
|
|
|
|
Reserved the feature flags for EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_DIRDATA and
|
|
EXT4_INCOMPAT_EA_INODE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.41.12 (May 17, 2010)
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now gives a correct error message if the external journal
|
|
device is not found. (Addresses Red Hat Bug #572935)
|
|
|
|
Resize2fs -P will now refuse to print a minimum size if the file
|
|
system is not clean. Previously it would go ahead and print a minimum
|
|
size anyway, which might not be correct, leading to user confusion.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now tests for extents that begin at physical block 0 and
|
|
rejects them as invalid. (Addresses Google Bug: #2573806)
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could cause it to crash when trying to
|
|
remove an invalid extent and the block bitmaps hadn't yet been loaded.
|
|
(Addresses SourceForge Bug: #2971800)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now will completely skip time-based checks if the system clock
|
|
looks insane or the option broken_system_clock is set in
|
|
/etc/e2fsck.conf.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck would previously report an i_blocks corruption for a 4T file
|
|
created using posix_fallocate; this bug has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now correctly mark a sparse journal as invalid and will
|
|
delete and recreate the journal to address the problem.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck would previously incorrectly ask the user whether she would
|
|
like to abort the file system check after finding a problem --- and
|
|
then abort regardless of the user's answer. This is annoying, and
|
|
has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck can now continue even if it fails to recreate the resize
|
|
inode; previously it would just abort the file system check
|
|
altogether.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck could potentially remove directory entries for inodes found in
|
|
the unused region of the inode table; this would generally happen on
|
|
ext4 file systems that do not use journaling. This bug has been fixed
|
|
by not clearing these directory entries once it has been established
|
|
that bg_unused_inodes may not be trustworthy; once pass #2 has been
|
|
completed, e2fsck will restart the file system check from the
|
|
beginning, and then it will be safe to delete any directory entries
|
|
pointing to inodes that appear to be deleted. (Addresses Google Bug:
|
|
#2642165)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will not try to set the block group checksums if the user
|
|
cancels the fsck with a control-C. It's a bad idea to set the
|
|
checksums if e2fsck hasn't been completed, and it often results an the
|
|
error message, "Inode bitmap not loaded while setting block group
|
|
checksum info". (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #582035)
|
|
|
|
The mke2fs program now queries the kernel for the physical as well as
|
|
the logical sector size, and will not allow a blocksize below the
|
|
logical, and will strongly encourage a blocksize at least as big as
|
|
the physical blocksize. This is needed for 4k sector drives that
|
|
emulate 512 byte sector sizes.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will now allow a flex_bg size of 1. This is unusual, and
|
|
rarely needed, but it is a legal value.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will check for cases where the EOFBLOCKS_FL is set when it is
|
|
not needed, and offer to clear it; this is a sign of a kernel bug, but
|
|
more importantly, some released kernels may crash when this situation
|
|
is encountered on ext4 file systems. (Addresses Google Bug: #2604224)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will use the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag exclusively to check whether
|
|
i_size is correct. (Kernels starting with 2.6.34 will set
|
|
EOFBLOCKS_FL.)
|
|
|
|
The com_err library will now only output ^M (a CR character) when the
|
|
tty is in raw mode.
|
|
|
|
Update the Czech, Chinese, Dutch, French, Germany, Indonesian, Polish,
|
|
and Vietnamese translations.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #571247, #563487)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
The regression test suite now uses its own mke2fs.conf file, so that
|
|
downstream distributions want change the mke2fs.conf file which is
|
|
distributed in the RPM or dpkg file, without worrying about screwing
|
|
up the regression test results.
|
|
|
|
Always build namei.o so that building with configure --disable-debugfs
|
|
works correctly. Long-term, if we care about reduced e2fsprogs
|
|
builds, we need a more general solution for deciding what .o files are
|
|
needed for a particular build. Given that install floppies are going
|
|
(gone?) the way the dodo bird, we probably don't care, though.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2911433)
|
|
|
|
Add configure options --enable-symlink-build and
|
|
--enable-symlink-install, which allow e2fsprogs be built using
|
|
symlinks instad of hard links, and to be installed using symlinks
|
|
instead of hard links, respectively. It is useful when the file
|
|
system where the build is taking place, or the file system where
|
|
e2fsprogs is installed, can't handle hard links for some reason.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1436294)
|
|
|
|
Fixed compile warning in mke2fs.c.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.41.11 (March 14, 2010)
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will no longer give a fatal error and abort if the physical
|
|
device has been resized beyond 2**32 blocks. (Addresses Launchpad
|
|
Bug: #521648)
|
|
|
|
Debugfs has a bug fixed so that "logdump -b <blk>" now properly shows
|
|
the allocation status of the block <blk>. (Addresses Debian Bug:
|
|
#564084)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now prints a much more emphatic and hopefully scary message
|
|
when a file system is detected as mounted while doing a read/write
|
|
check of the filesystem. Hopefully this will dissuade users from
|
|
thinking, "surely that message doesn't apply to *me*" :-(
|
|
|
|
E2fsck -n will now always open the file system read-only. We now
|
|
disallow certain combination of options which previously were manual
|
|
exceptions; this is bad because it causes users to think they are
|
|
smarter than they really are. So "-n -c", "-n -l", "-n -L", and "-n
|
|
-D" are no longer supported. (Addresses Launchpad Bug: #537483)
|
|
|
|
In e2fsprogs 1.41.10, mke2fs would ask for confirmation to proceed if
|
|
it detected a badly aligned partition. Unfortunately, this broke some
|
|
distribution installation scripts, so it now just prints the warning
|
|
message and proceeds. (Addresses Red Hat Bug: #569021. Addresses
|
|
Launchpad Bug: #530071)
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs would take a long time to create very large journal files for
|
|
ext4. This was caused by a bug in ext2fs_block_iterate2(), which is
|
|
now fixed.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now understands the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag which will be used in
|
|
2.6.34 kernels to make e2fsck not complain about blocks deliberately
|
|
fallocated() beyond an inode's i_size.
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.41.10 introduced a regression (in commit b71e018) where
|
|
e2fsck -fD can corrupt non-indexed directories when are exists one or
|
|
more file names which alphabetically sort before ".". This can happen
|
|
with ext2 filesystems or for small directories (take less than a lock)
|
|
which contain filenames that begin with a space or some other
|
|
punctuation mark. (Addresses Debian Bug: #573923, Addresses Launchpad
|
|
Bug: #525114)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Add new test, f_rehash_dir, which checks to make sure e2fsck -D works
|
|
correctly.
|
|
|
|
The libcom_err function now has support for Heimdal's com_right_r
|
|
function(). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2963865, Addresses Debian
|
|
Bug: #558910)
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.41.10 (February 7, 2010)
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
Fix resize2fs bug which causes it to access invalid memory.
|
|
|
|
Add libss support for libreadline.so.6.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck's check for extent-mapped directory with an incorrect file
|
|
type.
|
|
|
|
Add new e2fsck.conf configuration option, default/broken_system_clock
|
|
to support systems with broken CMOS hardware clocks. Also, since too
|
|
many distributions seem to have broken virtualization scripts now,
|
|
e2fsck will by default accept dates which are off by up to 24 hours by
|
|
default. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #559776, #557636)
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug where mke2fs may not use the best placement of the inode
|
|
table when there is only room for a single block group in the last
|
|
flex_bg.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck is now smarter when it needs to allocate blocks in the course
|
|
of fixing file system problems. This reduces the number of spurious
|
|
differences found in pass #5.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will no longer rehash directories which fit in a single
|
|
directory block.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now correctly handles holes in extent-mapped directories (i.e.,
|
|
sparse directories which use extents).
|
|
|
|
Fix big-endian problems with ext2fs_bmap() and ext2fs_bmap2().
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in filefrag where on platforms which can allow file systems
|
|
with 8k blocks, that it doesn't core dump when it sees a file system
|
|
with 8k block sizes. (Thanks to Mikulas Patocka for pointing this
|
|
out.)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will correctly fix directories that are have an inaccurate
|
|
i_size as well as other problems in a single pass, instead of
|
|
requiring two e2fsck runs before the file system is fully fixed.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck so it will correctly find and detect duplicate directory
|
|
entries for non-indexed directories. ( Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
|
|
#2862551)
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will use BLKDISCARD to pre-discard all blocks on an SSD or
|
|
thinly-provisioned storage device. This can be disabled using the -K
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
Enhance libext2fs so it works around bug in Linux version 2.6.19
|
|
and earlier where the /proc/swaps file was missing the header on
|
|
the first line.
|
|
|
|
Fix bug in Linux version 2.6.19 and earlier where the /proc/swaps file
|
|
was missing the header on the first line.
|
|
|
|
Fix some big-endian bugs in e2fsck and libext2fs.
|
|
|
|
Fix resize2fs so it works correctly on file systems with external
|
|
journals instead of failing early with the error "Illegal inode
|
|
number".
|
|
|
|
Fix libss so that it does not seg fault when using a readline library
|
|
which does not supply a readline_shutdown() function.
|
|
|
|
Updated dumpe2fs's usage message so it correctly gives the right
|
|
arguments summary for "-o superblock=<num>" and "-o blocksize=<num>".
|
|
(Addresses Launchpad Bug: #448099)
|
|
|
|
Teach libext2fs to ignore the high 32 bits of the i_blocks field
|
|
when huge_file file system feature is set, but the inode does not
|
|
have the HUGE_FILE_FL flag set.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck's handling of 64-bit i_blocks fields.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now print "Illegal indirect block", "Illegal
|
|
double-indirect block", etc., instead of "Illegal block #-1" or
|
|
"Illegal block #-2", etc. This makes it easier for users to
|
|
understand what has gone wrong. (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #2871782)
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now will obtain get device topology information from blkid and
|
|
use it to populate the superblock stride and stripe sizes. It will
|
|
also warn if the block device is misaligned
|
|

|
Fix file descriptor leaks in fsck and debugfs. (Addresses Novell Bug:
|
|
##524526)
|
|
|
|
Fix the libext2fs library code to round up the bitmap size to a 4-byte
|
|
boundary, to prevent spurious seg faults caused by the x86
|
|
architecture. This doesn't affect Linux systems, but was a major
|
|
problem on a number of *BSD systems. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
|
|
#2328708)
|
|
|
|
Fix resize2fs's minimum size required for a file system so it doesn't
|
|
fail when "resize2fs -M" is run. (Addresses RedHat Bugzilla: #519131)
|
|
|
|
Dumpe2fs now prints summary information about the contents of the
|
|
journal.
|
|
|
|
Avoid printing scary error messages when e2fsck starts running
|
|
problems on low-memory systems, as it tends to panic and mislead the
|
|
user. (Addresses Debian Bug: #509529)
|
|
|
|
Fix blkid's modules.dep parser so it handles compressed (.ko.gz)
|
|
modules files. (Address Red Hat Bug: #518572)
|

Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
The configure script supports the --with-cc, --with-ccopts, and
|
|
--with-ldopts options. Instead, the more standard use of CC=,
|
|
CCFLAGS=, and LDFLAGS= in the configure command line is used instead.
|
|
Also, --with-ld, which never worked, was also removed.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2843248)
|
|
|
|
The in-tree header files are only used if the in-tree uuid or blkid
|
|
libraries are used. Otherwise, use the system-provided uuid or blkid
|
|
header files if using the system-provided libraries.
|
|
|
|
Fix some build failures caused by --disable-* configure options.
|
|
|
|
Work around a bug in autoconf 2.64.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.41.9 (August 22, 2009)
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in e2fsck routines for reallocating an inode table which
|
|
could cause it to loop forever on an ext4 filesystem with the FLEX_BG
|
|
filesystem feature with a relatively rare (and specific) filesystem
|
|
corruption. This fix causes e2fsck to try to find space for a new
|
|
portion of the inode table in the containing flex_bg, and if that
|
|
fails, the new portion of the inode table will be allocated in any
|
|
free space available in the filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Make e2fsck less annoying by only asking for permission to relocate a
|
|
block group's inode table once, instead of for every overlapping
|
|
block. Similarly, only ask once to recompute the block group
|
|
checksums, instead of once for each corrupted block group's checksum.
|
|
|
|
Fix filefrag to avoid print the extent header if the FIEMAP ioctl is
|
|
not present, and it needs to fall back to using the FIBMAP ioctl.
|
|
|
|
Fix filefrag to correctly print the number of extents for zero-length
|
|
files. (Addresses Debian Bug: #540376)
|
|
|
|
Filefrag now has a -B option which forces the use of the FIBMAP ioctl
|
|
to more easily debug the FIBMAP code.
|
|
|
|
Fixed filefrag for non-extent based files.
|
|
|
|
Add a new program, e2freefrag, which displays information about the
|
|
free space fragmentation in an ext2/3/4 filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Fix inode resizing via tune2fs -I so that it works correctly in the
|
|
face of non-empty bad blocks inodes, and if the filesystem was
|
|
formatted using the "mke2fs -E stride=N" option for RAID arrays.
|
|
|
|
Fix regression in ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() caused e2fsck -fD to fail
|
|
and corrupt large directories if the directory needs to shrink by more
|
|
than one block. (Addresses Debian Bug: #537510)
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck's buggy_init_scritps=1 so that the if the last write and/or
|
|
last mount times are in the future, they are corrected even if
|
|
buggy_init_scripts is set. This is needed because otherwise resize2fs
|
|
will refuse to resize the filesystem, even after running "e2fsck -f".
|
|
(Addresses Launchpad bug: #373409)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now print much fuller information when the last mount time
|
|
or last written time is in the future, since most people can't seem to
|
|
believe their distribution has buggy init scripts, or they have a
|
|
failed CMOS/RTS clock battery.
|
|
|
|
Enhance dumpe2fs to dump the extent information via the 'stat'
|
|
command, and more detailed extent information via the new command
|
|
'dump_extents'.
|
|
|
|
Update French, Polish, Czech, and Sweedish translation from the
|
|
Translation Project.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Fixed miscellaneous gcc -Wall warnings.
|
|
|
|
Fixed memory leak in error path in ext2fs_block_iterate2()
|
|
|
|
Fixed non-Linux build of the intl directory by adding support for the
|
|
E/Q/V macros.
|
|
|
|
The bitmap read/write functions now treat uninitialized bitmaps as
|
|
unallocated; this fixes a number of problems in all e2fsprogs for ext4
|
|
filesystems when there is a need to allocate new blocks or inodes, and
|
|
there aren't any free blocks or inodes in the already-used block
|
|
groups.
|
|
|
|
Improve ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() to avoid creating new extents which
|
|
get inserted into the extent tree when they are not needed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.41.8 (July 11, 2009)
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Fix resize2fs's online resizing, fixing a regression which in
|
|
e2fpsrogs 1.41.7. (Addresses Debian Bug: #535452)
|
|
|
|
Fix potential filesystem corruptions caused by using resize2fs to
|
|
shrinking ext4 filesystems with extents enabled. (Addresses Red Hat
|
|
Bug: #510379)
|
|
|
|
Optimize uuid_generate() to avoid running uuidd if it is not setuid or
|
|
setgid and the currently running program doesn't have write access to
|
|
the uuidd work directory.
|
|
|
|
Add safety checks (for non-Linux systems) so that uuidd isn't run with
|
|
file descriptors 0, 1, and 2 closed; and if they are closed, uuidd
|
|
will be careful not to close the file descriptor for its unix domain
|
|
socket when it detaches itself from the controlling tty. Also add
|
|
safety checks so that if the unix domain socket between the uuid
|
|
library and uuidd program is closed for any reason, both the library
|
|
and the uuidd will return an appropriate error code instead of looping
|
|
in an infinite loop.
|
|
|
|
The e2croncheck script, which creates an LVM snapshot and then checks
|
|
the ext3/4 filesystem via the LVM snapshot, has been added to the
|
|
contrib directory.
|
|
|
|
Fix filefrag program for files that have more than 144 extents.
|
|
|
|
Update French, Polish, Czech, Indonsian, and Sweedish translation from
|
|
the Translation Project.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details. (Addresses Debian Bug #535530)
|
|
|
|
Update/clarify man pages.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix compilation problem when configured with --disable-uuid.
|
|
|
|
Don't build uuidgen if configured with --disable-uuid.
|
|
|
|
Add the new library function ext2fs_test_inode_bitmap_range(), and
|
|
optimized ext2fs_test_block_bitmap_range(), which will be needed for
|
|
future optimizations for e2fsck.
|
|
|
|
Fix makefile dependencies for libcom_err so that the Makefiles work
|
|
well on non-GNU make program. (Addresses Sourceforge Patches: #2813809)
|
|
|
|
Enhance the build system so that the full set of commands executed by
|
|
the Makefiles are displayed, instead of the Linux kernel summary
|
|
output, if the build was configured with --enable-verbose-makecmds, or
|
|
if GNU make is in use and the V variable is non-null, i.e., via "make
|
|
V=1".
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.41.7 (June 29, 2009)
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in libext2fs which can cause e2fsck and resize2fs to write
|
|
uninitalized data into the portion of the inode beyond the first 128
|
|
bytes when operating on inodes mapped via extents; potentially
|
|
corrupting filesystems.
|
|
|
|
Fix memory leaks in e2fsprogs, including a very large memory leak
|
|
which can cause e2fsck to run out of memory when checking very large
|
|
filesystems using extents.
|
|
|
|
The logsave program will now filter out the ^A and ^B characters when
|
|
writing to the console.
|
|
|
|
Harden ext2fs_validate_entry() so that lsdel will not read beyond the
|
|
end of the block even if the directory block is corrupted.
|
|
|
|
Fix debugfs from core dumping if the logdump command fails to open the
|
|
output file.
|
|
|
|
Enhance badblocks to print the currently tested block number when
|
|
interrupted with ^C.
|
|
|
|
Fix lsattr to exit with a non-zero status when it encounters errors.
|
|
(Addresses RedHat Bugzilla #489841)
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsprogs to use the same encoding for rec_len in 64k (and larger)
|
|
filesystems as the kernel when encoding rec_len >= 64k. For 64k
|
|
filesystems (currently all that is supported by e2fsprogs, this is
|
|
only a minor corner case).
|
|
|
|
Resize2fs will now update the journal backup fileds in the sup0erblock
|
|
if the journal is moved; this avoids an unnecessary full fsck after
|
|
resizing the filesystem. (Addresses RedHat Bugzilla: #505339)
|
|
|
|
Fix libext2fs to properly initialize i_extra_size when creating the
|
|
journal and resize inodes.
|
|
|
|
Change badblocks to allow block sizes larger than 4k.
|
|
|
|
Fix filefrag progam so it correctly checks for errors from the fiemap ioctl.
|
|
|
|
Update Chinese and Czech translation from the Translation Project.
|
|
|
|
Clean up various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug #531385 and #523063)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Add --disable-libuuid option to configure which uses an in-system
|
|
installed version of libuuid; the private version is enabled by
|
|
default.
|
|
|
|
Add --valgrind-leakcheck option to the test_script program which runs
|
|
valgrind with the appropriate options to find memory leaks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.41.6 (May 30, 2009)
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
Fix a critical regression in e2fsck introduced version 1.41.5 which
|
|
can undo updates to the block group descriptors after a journal replay.
|
|
|
|
If e2fsck receives an I/O error while replaying the journal, prompt
|
|
the user whether they want to ignore the error or not; if e2fsck is
|
|
run in preen mode, force fsck to abort the preen pass.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug which would cause e2fsck to core dump if the filesystem
|
|
contains a corrupt extent header, and the user declines to clear the
|
|
inode. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2791794)
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck to restart only once in the case of multiple block groups
|
|
which inodes in use that are in the uninitialized part of the block
|
|
group's inode table.
|
|
|
|
To reduce user confusion, if the /etc/mtab file is missing
|
|
ext2fs_check_mount_point and ext2fs_check_if_mounted will return a
|
|
new, explicit error code to indicate this case. This will cause
|
|
e2fsck to give a clearer error message when the user is using buggy
|
|
rescue CD's that don't properly set up /etc/mtab. (Addresses Debian
|
|
Bug: #527859)
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck so that if the primary group descriptors are corrupted, but
|
|
the backup superblock is entirely invalid, to go back to using (and
|
|
fixing) the priary group descriptors instead of completely giving up
|
|
on the filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug: #516820)
|
|
|
|
Change e2fsck to not abort a preen pass if an inode is found to have
|
|
i_file_acl_hi non-zero. Ext3 filesystems don't care, and newer
|
|
kernels (post 2.6.29) will ignore this field. So let's fix it
|
|
automatically during the preen pass instead of forcing the user to fix
|
|
this up manually. (Addresses Debian Bug: #526524)
|
|
|
|
Add resource tracking for e2fsck passes 1b through 1d.
|
|
|
|
Speed up e2fsck by eliminating unnecessary journal checks if the
|
|
filesystem is already mounted and doesn't need recovery (since the
|
|
kernel would have run the journal when the filesystem was mounted.)
|
|
Also speed up e2fsck by avoiding unnecessary block group descriptor
|
|
updates in ext2fs_close().
|
|
|
|
Add support to chattr to migrate inodes from using direct/indirect
|
|
blocks to extents.
|
|
|
|
Avoid corrupting the filesystem if there is an attempt to shrink a
|
|
filesystem using resize2fs smaller than posible by making
|
|
ext2fs_set_bmap() more careful not to delete the old block until the
|
|
new block can be inserted. In addition, fix a bug in how the minimum
|
|
size of the filesystem (plus a safety margin) is calculated, and
|
|
modify resize2fs to refuse to shrink the filesystem below that minimum
|
|
size without the force flag.
|
|
|
|
Teach blkid to try to figure out DM device names using take advantage
|
|
of information in sysfs when running on kernels (2.6.29 and later)
|
|
which provide this information in /sys/block/dm-<N>/dm/name; this is
|
|
much faster than scanning for the devncie number in /dev/mapper.
|
|
|
|
Fix blkid to prefer /dev/mapper/<name> device names instad of the
|
|
private /dev/dm-X names.
|
|
|
|
Add an -a option to debugfs's close_filesys command which writes any
|
|
changes to the superblock or block group descriptors to all of the
|
|
backup superblock locations.
|
|
|
|
Add support to the filefrag program to use the FIEMAP ioctl.
|
|
|
|
Update Chinese translation from the Translation Project.
|
|
|
|
Clean up various man pages. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #502971 and
|
|
Launchpad Bug: #381854)
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details. (Addresses Debian Bug #506064)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Add test code to make sure e2fsck's problem.c doesn't have two problem
|
|
codes assigned to duplicate values.
|
|
|
|
Avoid using a hard-coded path for /bin/rm in block's test_probe.in.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2780205)
|
|
|
|
Clean up e2fsck by removing #ifdef RESOURCE_TRACK by adding an empty
|
|
function declaration for init_resource_track() and
|
|
print_resource_track() when RESOURCE_TRACK is not defined.
|
|
|
|
The test code which is used to build the tst_csum progam has been
|
|
moved from from tst_csum.c into csum.c under an #ifdef DEBUG to to
|
|
avoid compile problems caused by not having a prototype for
|
|
ext2fs_group_desc_csum(). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug #2484331)
|
|
|
|
Update the config.guess and config.sub file to the latest from the
|
|
FSF, to allow e2fsprogs to build on the avr32 platform. (Addresses
|
|
Debian Bug: #528330)
|
|
|
|
Add a new function, ext2fs_extent_open2(), which behaves like
|
|
pext2fs_extent_open(), but uses the user-supplied inode structure
|
|
when opening an extent instead of reading the inode from disk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.41.5 (April 23, 2009)
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
Fix a number of filesystem corruption bugs in resize2fs when growing
|
|
or shrinking ext4 filesystems off-line (i.e., when the ext4 filesystem
|
|
is not mounted).
|
|
|
|
Debugfs can now set i_file_acl_high via the set_inodes_field command,
|
|
and print a 64-bit file acl. This is useful for debugging filesystem
|
|
corruptions where the high bits of i_file_acl_high are set. E2fsck
|
|
will detect and fix non-zero i_file_acl_high on 32-bit filesystems
|
|
since some Linux kernel versions pay attention to this field even when
|
|
they shouldn't.
|
|
|
|
Speed up e2fsck when checking clean filesystems by avoiding
|
|
unnecessary block reads, and coalescing the block group descriptor
|
|
blocks so they are read using a single read operation.
|
|
|
|
The libuuid library will now close all file descriptors before running
|
|
uuidd. This avoids problems when the calling program has open sockets
|
|
which then never get closed because uuidd is a long-running helper
|
|
daeomn. (Addresses Launchpad bug: #305057)
|
|
|
|
In order to avoid unnecessary full filesystem checks by e2fsck after
|
|
an on-line resize, e2fsck will ignore the NEEDS_RECOVERY flag set on
|
|
the backup superblocks. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #471925)
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will avoid trying to create the journal when run in
|
|
superblock-only mode (mke2fs -S), since the left-over journal in the
|
|
inode table will cause mke2fs to fail.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in libext2fs functions that check to see if a particular
|
|
device or filesystem image is mounted, which would cause these
|
|
functions to report that a file identical to the (relative) pathname
|
|
used by a pseudo-filesystem was mounted when in fact it was not.
|
|
|
|
Update Czech translation from the Translation Project.
|
|
|
|
Add Chinese (simplified) translation from the Translation Project.
|
|
|
|
Fix support for external journals (which was broken in e2fsprogs
|
|
1.41.4).
|
|
|
|
Fix a regression in debugfs where the "stat" command when no
|
|
filesystem was open would cause debugfs to crash with a segmentation
|
|
violation.
|
|
|
|
Starting in the 2.6.29 linux kernel, the ext4 filesystem driver can be
|
|
used to support filesystems without a journal. Update the blkid
|
|
library so it understands this.
|
|
|
|
The blkid library will remove an entry from the blkid cache
|
|
representing the entire disk if partitions are found, since presuambly
|
|
the device previously had no partition table, but has now transitioned
|
|
to using a partition table.
|
|
|
|
Add a check to mke2fs and tune2fs that the argument to the -m option
|
|
(which specifies the reserved ratio) must be greater than zero.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #517015)
|
|
|
|
Add support for tracking the number kilobytes written to the
|
|
filesystem via the superblock field s_kbytes_written. It will be
|
|
updated by the kernel as well as by e2fsprogs programs which write to
|
|
the filesystem. This is useful for tracking the wear to filesystems
|
|
on Solid Sstate Drives.
|
|
|
|
Fix compatibility issue in the libext2fs info file and makeinfo
|
|
version 4.12. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #481620)
|
|
|
|
Update/clarify man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug: #515693, #365619)
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #506279)
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix Hurd compilation problem in e2fsck and tune2fs (Addresses Debian
|
|
Bug: #521602)
|
|
|
|
Fix various gcc compilation warnings and other programming cleanups.
|
|
(Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #486997)
|
|
|
|
Add support for building the blkid command statically.
|
|
|
|
Add support for disabling the built-in blkid library in favor of a
|
|
system-installed blkid implementation via the configure option
|
|
--disable-libblkid.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.41.4 (January 27, 2009)
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug which could sometimes cause blkid to return an exit value
|
|
of zero for a non-existent device (Addresses Debian Bug: #502541)
|
|
|
|
Blkid will now recognize ext3 filesystems that have the test_fs flag
|
|
set as ext3 filesystems.
|
|
|
|
The blkid library will now recognize btrfs filesystems and swap
|
|
devices currently used by user-level software suspend.
|
|
|
|
Tune2fs now updates the block group checksums when changing the UUID
|
|
to avoid causing e2fsck to complain vociferously at the next reboot.
|
|
|
|
Tune2fs's inode size resizing algorithms have been fixed so it is not
|
|
vastly inefficient for moderate-to-large filesystems, due to some
|
|
O(n**2) and O(n*m) algorithms that didn't scale well at all.
|
|
|
|
Fix tune2fs's inode resizing algorithm so it will not corrupt
|
|
filesystems laid out for RAID filesystems; in addition, tune2fs will
|
|
refuse to change the inode size for filesystems that have the flex_bg
|
|
feature enabled. (This is a limitation in the current implementation
|
|
of tune2fs -I.)
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.41 broke debugfs's logdump command for normal ext3/4
|
|
filesystems with 32-bit block numbers, when the headers for 64-bit
|
|
block numbers was added. This regression has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs's ncheck command has been fixed to avoid printing garbage
|
|
characters at the end of file names.
|
|
|
|
Fix resize2fs for ext4 filesystems. Some blocks that that need moving
|
|
when shrinking filesystems with uninit_bg feature would not be moved.
|
|
In addition, blocks and inode table blocks were not being correctly
|
|
freed when shrinking filesystems with the flex_bg feable, which caused
|
|
resize2fs -M to fail. Finally, when blocks are moved, make sure the
|
|
uninitialized flag in extents is preserved.
|
|
|
|
Fix bug which caused dumpe2fs to abort with an error if run on a
|
|
filesystem that contained an external journal.
|
|
|
|
Some distributions used "mke3fs" as an alias for "mkfs.ext3"; check
|
|
for this in argv[0] to provide better legacy support for these
|
|
distributions. This is a practice that should NOT be continued,
|
|
however.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now has a new option -U, which allows the user to specify the
|
|
UUID that should be used for the new filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will treat devices that are exactly 16TB as if they were 16TB
|
|
minus one block. This allows users who have read that ext3 supports
|
|
up to 16TB filesystems and who create a 16TB LVM to not get confused,
|
|
since the true limit is really 16TB minus one block.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will no longer abort an fsck run if block group has an errant
|
|
INODE_UNINIT flag.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now distinguishes between fragmented directories and fragmented
|
|
files in verbose mode statistics and in the fragcheck report.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in e2fsck which casued it double count non-contiguous
|
|
extent-based inodes.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will leave some slack space when repacking directories to allow
|
|
room for a few directory entries to be added without causing leaf
|
|
nodes to be split right away.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug which caused e2fsck to crash when it comes across a
|
|
corrupted interior node in an extent tree with the error message:
|
|
"Error1: Corrupt extent header on inode XXXXXX"
|
|
|
|
E2fsck problem descriptions involving the journal are no longer
|
|
referred to as "ext3" problems, since ext4 filesystems also have
|
|
journals.
|
|
|
|
Fix a long-standing bug in e2fsck which would cause it to crash when
|
|
replying journals for filesystems with block sizes greater than 8k.
|
|
|
|
Update Catalan translation from the Translation Project.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|

details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #503057, #502323, #511207)

|
Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix build of e2fsck.profiled, and add support for building profiled
|
|
binaries in the misc directory if configured with --enable-profile.
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_open() function now performs more sanity checks on the
|
|
superblock to avoid potential divide by zero errors by other parts of
|
|
library.
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_read_inode_full() function now has a safety check to avoid
|
|
a segmentation fault on corrupted filesystems.
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_new_inode() function now has a sanity check so that if the
|
|
s_first_inode field in the superblock is insane, it will return
|
|
EXT2_ET_INODE_ALLOC_FAIL instead of returning an invalid inode number.
|
|
|
|
To avoid segmentation faults, ext2fs_block_alloc_stats() and
|
|
ext2fs_inode_alloc_stats() now validates the passed inode or block
|
|
number to avoid overrunning an array boundary.
|
|
|
|
Various signed/unsigned errors for variables containing block numbers
|
|
have been fixed.
|
|
|
|
Accomodations for gcc's stupidity in not realizing that constant
|
|
strings that do not contain a '%' character are safe to use in format
|
|
strings have been made so that distributions that want to compile
|
|
e2fsprogs with -Werror=format-security have an easier time doing so.
|
|
|
|
Added a new 64-bit getsize interface, ext2fs_get_device_size2().
|
|
|
|
Added the utility make-sparse.c to the contrib directory.
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_block_iterate2() function now reflects errors from
|
|
ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() to the caller, if the callback tries to
|
|
change a block on an extent-based file, and ext2fs_extent_set_bmap()
|
|
fails for some reason (for example, there isn't enough disk space to
|
|
split a node and expand the extent tree.
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_block_iterate2() function will preserve the uninit flag in
|
|
extents when the callback function modifies a block in an extent-based
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now flag filesystems that have an insane s_first_ino field
|
|
in their superblock, and attempt to use a backup superblock to repair
|
|
the filesystem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.41.3 (October 12, 2008)
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
E2fsck has been fixed so it prints the correct inode number for
|
|
uinit_bg related problems.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now offer to clear the test_fs flag if the ext4 filesystem
|
|
is available on linux. This can be disabled via a configuration
|
|
option in /etc/e2fsck.conf.
|
|
|
|
Fix a file descriptor leak in libblkid when checking to see if an ext4
|
|
or ext4dev module exists.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in e2fsck where in preen mode, if there are disk I/O errors
|
|
while trying to close a filesystem can lead to infinite loops.
|
|
(Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #465679)
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in resize2fs where passing in a bogus new size of 0 blocks
|
|
will cause resize2fs to drop into an infinite loop. (Addresses Red
|
|
Hat Bugzilla: #465984)
|
|
|
|
Add a check in the Unix I/O functions in libext2fs so that when a
|
|
device is opened read/write, return an error if the device is
|
|
read-only using the BLKROGET ioctl.
|
|
|
|
Fix debugfs's ncheck command so that it prints all of the names of
|
|
hardlinks in the same directory.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in libblkid so it correctly detects whether the ext4 and
|
|
ext4dev filesystems are available, so that the ext4dev->ext4
|
|
fallback code works correctly.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix a parallel build problem by making sure util/subst is built before
|
|
trying to build the lib/et directory. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
|
|
#2143281)
|
|
|
|
Updated "make depend" information for crc16.o
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.41.2 (October 2, 2008)
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck's automatic blocksize detection. This fixes a regression
|
|
from e2fsprogs 1.40.7 which caused e2fsck to fail if the user
|
|
specifies a block number using the -b option if the blocksize option
|
|
isn't also specified using -B. Unfortunately, users very commonly
|
|
invoke e2fsck using "e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/hdXXX" to use the backup
|
|
superblock; in fack e2fsck will often suggest this kind of command
|
|
line. Oops.
|
|
|
|
Enhance the debugfs's "ncheck" command so it will print all of the
|
|
pathnames for the specified inodes. (Previously, in some cases ncheck
|
|
might not print a pathname for an inode at all if some of the other
|
|
inodes had multiple hard links.)
|
|
|
|
Enhance debugfs's "hash" command so the hash seed can be specified via
|
|
a command-line option. In addition, allow the hash algorithm to be
|
|
specified by name instead of just by number.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck so that we don't accidentally print the translation file's
|
|
header when asking the user a custom question so there is no prompt
|
|
defined for a particular problem record. For example, the question
|
|
"Run journal anyway" will get the PO header tacked on because e2fsck
|
|
erroneously passed the null string to _(). (Addresses Launchpad Bug:
|
|
#246892)
|
|
|
|
Enhance badblocks so that it can test a normal file which is greater
|
|
than 2GB.
|
|
|
|
Enhance the badblocks command so that it displays the time and
|
|
percentage complete when in verbose mode. (Addresses Debian Bug:
|
|
#429739)
|
|
|
|
Fix a potential memory leak in a error handling path in debugfs's
|
|
ncheck function.
|
|
|
|
Fix a potential memory corruption problem if a memory allocation fails
|
|
in resize2fs.
|
|
|
|
Fix the usage message for debugfs's logdump command to be consistent
|
|
with its man manpage.
|
|
|
|
Update Polish, French, Vietnamese, Dutch, Indonesian, German, Czech,
|
|
and Sweedish translation from the Translation Project.
|
|
|
|
Add documentation for the file I/O functions to the libext2fs.texinfo
|
|
file. (Addresses Debian Bug: #484877)
|
|
|
|
Update and clarified various man pages. (Addresses Launchpad Bug
|
|
#275272; Addresses Debian Bugs: #498100, #498101, #498102, #498103)
|

Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix a potential file descriptor leack in libcom_err by setting the
|
|
close-on-exec flag for a fd used for debugging. (Addresses Red Hat
|
|
Bugzilla #464689)
|
|
|
|
Fix a potential race in libcom_err by using sem_post/sem_init. SuSE
|
|
has been carrying a patch for a long time to prevent a largely
|
|
theoretical race condition if a multi-threaded application adds and
|
|
removes error tables in multiple threads. Unfortunately SuSE's
|
|
approach breaks compatibility by forcing applications to link and
|
|
compile with the -pthread option; using pthread mutexes has
|
|
historically been problematic. We fix this by using sem_post/sem_init
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsprogs-libs build failure due to 'subs' target. (Addresses
|
|
Sourceforge Bug: #2087502)
|
|
|
|
Avoid linking e2initrd_helper, debugfs, blkid, and fsck with unneeded
|
|
libraries when using ELF shared libraries.
|
|
|
|
Fix ELF shared library when building on systems that don't already
|
|
have the e2fsprogs shared libraries already installed. (Addresses
|
|
Sourceforge Bug: #2088537)
|
|
|
|
Fix the pkg-config files so they work correctly when linking with
|
|
static libraries and fix the include directory so programs don't have
|
|
to use #include <ext2fs/ext2fs.h>, but can use #include <ext2fs.h>
|
|
instead. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2089537)
|
|
|
|
Make sure ext2fs_swab64() is compiled for all platforms, and not just
|
|
for x86. (Addresses Debian Bug: #497515)
|
|
|
|
Remove the unused ext2fs_find_{first,ext}_bit_set() functions for all
|
|
non-x86 platforms. (They had been removed for x86 earlier.)
|
|
|
|
Fix diet libc compilation support, which had bitrotted due to lack of
|
|
TLC. Fixing this improves general portability.
|
|
|
|
When installing the link library when using ELF shared libraries,
|
|
avoid using absolute pathnames if the link library and the shared
|
|
library are installed in the same directory. (Addresses Sourceforge
|
|
Bug: #1782913)
|
|
|
|
Fix gen-tarball so it will work even if the top-level directory has
|
|
been renamed to something other than "e2fsprogs". Also make
|
|
gen-tarball print the size of the resulting tar.gz file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.41.1 (September 1, 2008)
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
Many people are forgetting to update their mke2fs.conf file, and this
|
|
causes ext3, ext4, and ext4dev filesystems won't get created with the
|
|
proper features enabled. We address this in two ways. First, mke2fs
|
|
will issue a warning if there is not definition for an ext3, ext4, or
|
|
ext4dev filesystem and the user is trying to create such a filesystem
|
|
type. Secondly, when installing from a source build, "make install"
|
|
will provide basic configuration file handling for /etc/mke2fs.conf.
|
|
If it exists, and does not mention ext4dev, it will be moved aside to
|
|
/etc/mke2fs.conf.e2fpsrogs-old and the new /etc/mke2fs.conf file will
|
|
be installed. If the existing /etc/mke2fs.conf file does mention
|
|
ext4dev, then "make install" will install official mke2fs.conf file as
|
|
/etc/mke2fs.conf.e2fsprogs-new and issue a message to the user that
|
|
they should look to see if any changes need to be merged.
|
|
|
|
The mke2fs program will now create the journal in the middle of the
|
|
filesystem, since this minimizes seek times on average for fsync-heavy
|
|
workloads. In addition, mke2fs will now create journals using extents
|
|
for filesystems that support them. This results in a more efficient
|
|
encoding for the journal since it eliminates the need for using
|
|
indirect blocks.
|
|
|
|
The mke2fs program will avoid allocating an extra block to the
|
|
journal. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1483791)
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will correctly enforce the prohibition against features
|
|
(specifically read-only features) in revision 0 filesystems. (Thanks
|
|
to Benno Schulenberg for noticing this problem.)
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs previously would occasionaly create some slightly non-optimally
|
|
placed inode tables; this bug has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
The mke2fs and tune2fs programs now print the correct usage message
|
|
describing the maximum journal size. (Addresses Debian Bug: #491620)
|
|
|
|
Add support for setting the default hash algorithm used in b-tree
|
|
directories in tune2fs (from a command-line option) or mke2fs (via
|
|
mke2fs.conf). In addition, change the default hash algorithm to
|
|
half_md4, since it is faster and better.
|
|
|
|
The blkid library will now recognize MacOS hfsx filesystems, and
|
|
correctly extract the label and uuid for hfs, hfsx, and hfsplus
|
|
filesystems. (Addresses Sourceforge Feature Requests: #2060292)
|
|
|
|
The blkid library has improved detection of JFS and HPFS filesystems.
|
|
(Addresses Launchpad Bug: #255255)
|
|
|
|
The blkid library is now much more efficiently handling devicemapper
|
|
devices, mainly by no longer using the devicemapper library. This can
|
|
speed up access for systems with a large number of device mapper
|
|
devices.
|
|
|
|
Blkid had a number of cache validation bugs in libblkid that have been
|
|
fixed. (Addresses Debian Bug: #493216)
|
|
|
|
Resize2fs will now properly close out the "updating inode references"
|
|
progress bar so there is a newline printed before printing the final
|
|
"resize is successful" message.
|
|
|
|
Resize2fs will now correctly handle filesystems with extents and/o
|
|
uninitialized block groups correctly when file/directory blocks need
|
|
to relocated (i.e., when shrinking a filesystem or if the resize_inode
|
|
is not present). To support this, the ext2fs library now supports
|
|
initializing inode and block bitmaps that are not yet initialized when
|
|
allocating them using ext2fs_new_block() and ext2fs_new_inode(). In
|
|
addition, e2fs_block_iterate2() can now support changing the location
|
|
of interior nodes of an extent tree, and ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() has
|
|
been optimized to avoid creating unnecessary new extents when updating
|
|
the location of blocks in the extent tree. This will also help out
|
|
e2fsck's recovery of obscurely corrupted filesystems with extents,
|
|
when blocks are claimed by multiple inodes.
|
|
|
|
Add support for on-line resizing ext4 filesystem with the flex_bg
|
|
filesystem feature. The method for doing so is not optimal, but to do
|
|
a better job will require kernel support.
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.41.0 intrduced a bug in libext2fs which casued e2image and
|
|
debugfs programs to not be able to read e2image files; the signed
|
|
vs. unsigned bug in the code which read bitmaps from the e2image has
|
|
been fixed. (Addresses Debian Bug: #495830)
|
|
|
|
Resize2fs is now correctly managing the directory in-use counts when
|
|
shrinking filesystems and directory inodes needed to be moved from one
|
|
block group to another. This bug has been around since e2fsprogs
|
|
1.26, and is largely harmless, but does cause a filesystem corruption
|
|
which will be flagged by e2fsck after the filesystem has been shrunk.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will no longer issue spurious complaints about the inode size
|
|
caused by very large extent-based files, and by blocks reallocated
|
|
using fallocate() with the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE option. (Addresses
|
|
Kernel Bugzilla: #11341)
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will now set the creation timestamp on the lost+found directory
|
|
and the root directory. (More generally, all new inodes created using
|
|
the ext2fs library will correctly set the creation timestamp.)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now correctly calculates ind/dind/tind statistics in the
|
|
presence of extent-based files. In addition, "e2fsck -v" will report
|
|
statistics of the depth of extent trees in the filesystem. E2fsck can
|
|
also give an inode fragmentation report using "e2fsck -E fragcheck"
|
|
which can be useful when debugging the kernel block allocation
|
|
routines.
|
|
|
|
Fix support for empty directory blocks in ext4 filesystems with 64k
|
|
blocksize filesystems.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now print the depth of corrupt htree directories.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs's htree command now correctly understands extent-based
|
|
directories. It will also print out the minor hash as well as the
|
|
major hash.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs has a new command which will print the supported features of
|
|
e2fsprogs, to enable scripts to know whether the installed version of
|
|
e2fsprogs can support a specific feature.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs will now write files using extents for filesystems that
|
|
support them.
|
|
|
|
The error message printed by "tune2fs -I" if the inode size was too
|
|
small was rather confusing, so it has been improved. Also, we won't
|
|
try to create an undo log until we know that command-line-specified
|
|
parameters such as "tune2fs -I <inode size>" are valid.
|
|
|
|
Given some filesystems found "in the wild" that had non-zero block
|
|
group checksums even though the uninit_bg/gdt_sum feature was not
|
|
enabled, e2fsck would issue spurious error messages. Teach
|
|
ext2fs_group_desc_csum_verify() to ignore the block group checksum
|
|
entirely if the feature flag is not set. (Addresses Debian Bug:
|
|
#490637)
|
|
|
|
The blkid program will now print out a user-friendly listing of all of
|
|
the block devices in the system and what they contain when given the
|
|
-L option. (Addresses Debian Bug: #490527)
|
|
|
|
The filefrag program now has a more accurate calculation for the
|
|
number of ideal extents. (Addresses Debian Bug: #458306)
|
|
|
|
The test I/O manager is now enabled by default, but its overhead is
|
|
only incurred when it would be enabled via the TEST_IO_FLAGS or
|
|
TEST_IO_BLOCK environment variables.
|
|
|
|
Typographical errors in various program strings and usage messages
|
|
have been fixed; most of these were pointed out by the e2fsprogs
|
|
message catalog translators. (Thanks, translators!)
|
|
|
|
Update and clarified various man pages, as well as some typographical
|
|
errors in the libext2fs texinfo file.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
Add Indonesian and update French, Polish, Dutch, German, Sweedish,
|
|
Czech, and Vietnamese Translations. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #313697,
|
|
#401092)

Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix portability problem with the badblocks group; for systems that
|
|
don't have nanosleep(), try using usleep() instead.
|
|
|
|
The "make check" target in the e2fsck directory now sets
|
|
LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running the various e2fsck internal library
|
|
regression tests.
|
|
|
|
The crc32 regression test in the e2fsck library is now portable to
|
|
greater varienty of environments, including big-endian systems and
|
|
when cross-building e2fsprogs for embedded systems. (Addresses
|
|
Sourceforge Bug: #2019287)
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_extent_set_bmap() had some bugs when setting the first
|
|
block in a file, or when replacing a single block extent. Those cases
|
|
fortunately were came up relatively rarely when e2fsck was checking
|
|
files, but caused some problems when resize2fs was shrinking
|
|
extent-based files.
|
|
|
|
Fix a potential core-dumping bug in libe2p's iterate_on_dir()
|
|
function.
|
|
|
|
Various ext2fs library functions --- ext2fs_block_iterate2(),
|
|
ext2fs_initialize() and ext2fs_extent_open() --- now correctly free
|
|
allocated memory to avoid memory leaks in all of their error return
|
|
paths.
|
|
|
|
Ext2ed was failing to build because masix support had been removed in
|
|
the rest of e2fsprogs, so ext2ed no longer has masix support, either.
|
|
|
|
The configure script now respects the LDFLAGS environment variable if
|
|
it is set when configure is called. (Addresses Sourceforge Feature
|
|
Request: #1937287)
|
|
|
|
Libuuid is now more portable to the Windows platform. (Addresses
|
|
Sourceforge Feature Request: #1937287)
|
|
|
|
The configure script now uses AC_MSG_{RESULT,WARN,ERROR} instead of
|
|
bare echo commands so that configure flags such as --quiet work
|
|
correctly. (Addresses Sourceforge Patches: #2058794)
|
|
|
|
A few uses of sprintf have been removed from the ext2fs library to
|
|
make life easier for bootloaders with a limited libc environment.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #2049120)
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_read_inode() checks the validity of the inode number passed
|
|
to it earlier, to avoid doing some needless work when it would fail
|
|
anyway.
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_open() checks the validity of the blocksize parameter
|
|
passed to it earlier, to avoid doing some needless work when it would
|
|
fail anyway.
|
|
|
|
Disable a very annoying automatic "%.sh -> %" GNU make rule in the
|
|
top-level Makefile. That automatic rule is used to better support
|
|
SCCS, but it caused problems for a particular niche distribution which
|
|
likes to use configure.sh files to store the configure options used to
|
|
build a package. Unfortuntaely GNU make will use the configure.sh to
|
|
replace the configure script, resulting in a self-inflicted fork bomb
|
|
leading to an out-of-memory crash.
|
|
|
|
To support old GNU C compilers don't use C99/C++ comments, but only
|
|
K&R style comments, and don't try to use __builtin_expect if __GNUC__
|
|
is less than 3. (__builtin_expect is only supported for gcc versions
|
|
2.96 and up, and it's tricky to check for gcc 2.95 vs gcc 2.96; since
|
|
this is an optimization, we only try to use __builtin_expect for gcc 3
|
|
and up.)
|
|
|
|
In e2fsck's crc routines, make sure we use WORDS_BIGENDIAN instead of
|
|
__LITTLE_ENDIAN, which are only defined by glibc's header files and
|
|
hence isn't portable.
|
|
|
|
For the convenience for some distributions that need a static tune2fs,
|
|
the Makefile for misc/ now has a tune2fs.static target.
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_block_iterate2() function now supports BLOCK_FLAG_APPEND
|
|
for extent-based files
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_bmap() function now supports BMAP_ALLOC for extent-based
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
All source files no longer have any trailing white space.
|
|
|
|
The io_channel_read_blk64() and io_channel_write_blk64() functions are
|
|
now functions instead of C preprocessor macros to provide better
|
|
forward compatibility.
|
|
|
|
The e2fpsrogs translation template now expands the @x abbrevation.
|
|
|
|
Various namespace leackages in libblkid, libe2p, and libext2fs have
|
|
been fixed.
|
|
|
|
Fix a parallel build problem in e2fsprogs.
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs is now more portable to Solaris.
|
|
* blkid no longer assumes that the TIOCGSIZE and TIOCGWINSZ ioctl's
|
|
are always present.
|
|
* Scripts do not assume that /bin/true is always in /bin
|
|
* Don't use __FUNCTION__ since Solaris's C99 doesn't support it.
|
|
* Flush stdio handles before calling setbuf(), since Solaris will
|
|
discard any pending output to the stream.
|
|
* Define _XOPEN_SOURCE to 600 since Solaris's header files are very
|
|
picky about which C compiler can beused for SUSv3 conformance.
|
|
Use of C99 is not compatible with SUSv2 (_XOPEN_SOURCE=500),
|
|
and C89 is not compatible with SUSv3 (_XOPEN_SOURCE=600).
|
|
Since we need some SUSv3 functions, consistently use SUSv3 so
|
|
that e2fsprogs will build on Solaris using c99.
|
|
* Solaris C99 does not support varargs C preprocessor macros
|
|
* Solaris header files pollute the C namespace if in/netinet.h
|
|
is included, which conflicts with e2fsprogs' use of the kmem_cache_t
|
|
typedef.
|
|
* Solaris ships with a pathetically ancient shell in /bin/sh so we
|
|
avoid the use of various more avanced shell constructs such as $().
|
|
|
|
The "make rpm" command will now take some extra configure optiosn from
|
|
the build environment without needing to patch the source tree.
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_add_dir_block() function will now grow the dblist more
|
|
aggressively as an optimization to avoid copying the array too often.
|
|
|
|
The e2fsck_write_bitmaps() will write the block and inode bitmaps
|
|
together instead of in two passes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.41 (July 10, 2008)
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Add support for ext4 filesystem features, in particular extents,
|
|
uninit_bg, flex_bg, huge_file, and dir_nlink features. Also add
|
|
support for checking journal checksums. Debugfs will print new
|
|
superblock and inode fields that were defined for ext4. For example,
|
|
the nanosecond and i_version fields of an inode, and the
|
|
s_min_extra_isize and s_wanted_extra_isize fields from the superblock.
|
|
Note: Resize2fs doesn't currently support the combination of flex_bg
|
|
and !resize_inode. (Addresses Debian Bug: #388452, #425477)
|
|
|
|
Tune2fs can support migrating a filesystem from using 128 byte inodes
|
|
to 256 byte inodes, so it can take advantage of the full features of
|
|
ext4.
|
|
|
|
Add support for "undo" support. E2fsck and mke2fs can optionally
|
|
record an undo log which can replayed by the program e2undo.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck could damage a filesystem by trying to relocate inode tables
|
|
due to corrupted block group descriptors, where the attempted inode
|
|
table relocation would do far more harm than good. E2fsck has been
|
|
fixed to detect this these sorts of corrupted block group descriptors
|
|
much earlier in e2fsck processing, so it can try to use the backup
|
|
superblock and block group descriptors first. This should be a much
|
|
better strategy for recovering these types of corrupted filesystems.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1840291)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will display a more understandable message when the last check
|
|
field in the superblock is in the future. (Addresses Debian Bug:
|
|
#446005).
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now performs more extensive and careful checks of extended
|
|
attributes stored in the inode.
|
|
|
|
Enhance mke2fs to print a more explanatory error message when
|
|
ext2fs_get_device_size() returns EFBIG. (Addresses Debian Bug:
|
|
#488663)
|
|
|
|
Fix mke2fs to use a default block size of 4k when formatting an
|
|
external journal device. This is done by using a fixed filesystem
|
|
type list that consists only of the single filesystem type "journal"
|
|
when looking up configuration keys in /etc/mke2fs.conf. (Addresses
|
|
Debian Bug: #488663)
|
|
|
|
Speed up how mke2fs writes the journal data blocks by writing the disk
|
|
blocks in larger chunks.
|
|
|
|
Fix blkid handling of stale devices. Fix a bug which could cause a
|
|
core dump while garbage collecting the blkid cache, and assure that
|
|
blkid_find_dev_with_tag() never returns a non-existent device. Also,
|
|
if a filesystem is found at a new /dev location, eliminate any
|
|
duplicate stale entries which can not be verified.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bugs: #487758, #487783)
|
|
|
|
Add more paranoid checks for LVM volumes and swap partitions in
|
|
blkid's probe function, to reduce the chances of false positives.
|
|
|
|
The mke2fs program now has a much more sophisticated system for
|
|
controlling configuration parameters of a newly created filesystem
|
|
based on a split filesystem and usage type system. The -t option to
|
|
mke2fs was a deprecated alias to -c; it now specifies a filesystem
|
|
type (ext2, ext3, ext4, etc.), while the -T option can now be a comma
|
|
separated usage list. The filesystem type information and type
|
|
information is used to extract configuration parameters from the
|
|
/etc/mke2fs.conf file.
|
|
|
|
The mke2fs program will no longer complain and request the -f option
|
|
when the user tries to create a filesystem with greater than 2**31
|
|
blocks.
|
|
|
|
When creating a filesystem for the GNU Hurd use a fs-type of Hurd and
|
|
adjust the mke2fs.conf file so filesystems for the Hurd are created
|
|
with a blocksize of 4096 and inode size of 128, which is all it knows
|
|
how to handle. (Addresses Debian Bug: #471977)
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will always make sure that lost+found always has at least 2
|
|
blocks, even for filesystems with very large blocksizes (i.e., 64kb).
|
|
|
|
Resize2fs will now print the minimum needed filesystem size if given
|
|
the -P option, and will resize the filesystem to the smallest possible
|
|
size if given the -M option.
|
|
|
|
Fix resize2fs to clean up the resize_inode if all of the reserved gdt
|
|
blocks are consumed during an off-line resize.
|
|
|
|
The "ls" command in debugfs now supports the -p option, which causes
|
|
it to quote the filenames so that spaces or tabs in directory entries
|
|
are easily visible. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #149480; Addresses
|
|
Sourceforge Feature Request: #1201667)
|
|
|
|
Fix a potential off-by-one buffer oveflow in the fs_device_name in an
|
|
e2image file.
|
|
|
|
The chattr program will return a non-zero exit code in case of
|
|
failures, and error messages can be suppressed with the -f option.
|
|
(Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #180596)
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in badblocks which caused it to overrun an array and likely
|
|
crash if more than 8 test patterns are specified using the -t option.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #487298)
|
|
|
|
Add support to badblocks to limit how quickly it reads from the disk
|
|
drive (so it can be used for background scrubbing), and so it will
|
|
abort after finding a given number of errors.
|
|
|
|
Remove support for the legacy big-endian filesystem format which only
|
|
existed on extremely long-dead PowerPC kernels almost a decade ago.
|
|
|
|
Remove MASIX support from e2fsprogs.
|
|
|
|
Add I/O statistics reporting to e2fsck.
|
|
|
|
Update Vietnamese, Polish, French, Spanish, German, Catalan, Dutch,
|
|
Czech translations.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #487443, #487675, #490003)
|
|
|
|
Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bugs: #393313, #487849, #440983, #440981)

Programmer's Notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Factor out bitmap code in preparation for adding 64-bit new-style
|
|
bitmaps.
|
|
|
|
Fix gcc -Wall warnings
|
|
|
|
Fix the pkg-config files so that private librares are specified in
|
|
"Libs.private:".
|
|
|
|
Fix the libext2fs.texinfo manual so it builds with modern versions of
|
|
texinfo.
|
|
|
|
Silence the makefile from showing the awk command used to build the
|
|
|
|
Clean up the badblocks group so to make it more portable and robust.
|
|
|
|
Avoid using predictable filenames in /tmp in blkid's regression test
|
|
suite. Also remove bashism's in the regression test script.
|
|
|
|
If the configure script is given --with-diet-libc, don't use thread
|
|
local storage, since diet libc doesn't support TLS. (Addresses
|
|
Sourceforge Bug: #2000654)
|
|
|
|
Fix the blkid regression test suite to tolerate older versions of
|
|
mkswap that don't support the -U option.
|
|
|
|
A few library routines have been converted to support 64-bit block
|
|
numbers; in particular, the I/O manager functions, the test_io,
|
|
inode_io, and unix_io managers have all be converted to support 64-bit
|
|
operation.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs can now be extended for use by test programs. See
|
|
lib/ext2fs/extents.c for an example for how it can be used. The test
|
|
program links against the debugfs object files, and provides
|
|
additional commands by defining an auxiliary libss command table.
|
|
|
|
The lazy_bg filesystem feature, which was only used by developer's
|
|
testing, has been removed since it has been largely supplanted by
|
|
uninit_bg. This also simplifies the code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.40.11 (June 17, 2008)
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs, tune2fs, and resize2fs now use floating point to calculate the
|
|
percentage of reserved blocks. (Addresses Debian Bug: #452639)
|
|
|
|
Updated Spanish and Catalan translations.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #483962, #483023)
|
|
|
|
Add detection for ZFS volumes to the libblkid library.
|
|
|
|
Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #486463)
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix marginal C code in probe_lvm2() function to the blkid library more
|
|
portable for older compilers.
|
|
|
|
Fix build problems on MacOS X. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1972473)
|
|
|
|
Fix ext2fs_swap{16,32,64} functions so they can be used by external
|
|
applications on big-endian machines. (Addresses Debian Bug: #484879)
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.40.10 (May 21, 2008)
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
When deciding whether or not to revalidate a blkid cache entry, if the
|
|
device's mtime is newer than the last time the cached entry was
|
|
validated, force a revalidation.
|
|
|
|
Fix a potential data corruption bug in e2fsck in the journal replay.
|
|
The chances of this is happening is extremely remote, especially the
|
|
default data=ordered or data=writeback modes. However, if a block
|
|
which has been journalled starts with the first four bytes 0xc03b3998,
|
|
when e2fsck replays the journal, those four bytes will be replaced
|
|
with zero's. Fortunately, it is highly, highly unlikely for e2fsck
|
|
metadata to begin with those fatal 4 byte sequence, and unless
|
|
data=ordered mode is in use, data blocks are never journaled.
|
|
|
|
Updated German, Dutch, Sweedish, and Vietnamese translations.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
Remove default sizes of types when cross compiling, since autoconf
|
|
2.50 can figure this out automatically now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.40.9 (April 27, 2008)
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
SuSE's security team audited uuidd and came up with a few minor
|
|
issues. None of them are serious given that uuidd runs setuid as a
|
|
unprivileged user which has no special access other than libuuid
|
|
directory, but it's good to get them fixed.
|
|
|
|
One additional fix in ext2fs_swap_inode_full() needed for resize2fs to
|
|
work correctly with in-inode extended attributes.
|
|
|
|
Updated German, Czech, Dutch, French, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese
|
|
translations.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs will avoid using a pager if the standard output is not a tty.
|
|
|
|
Fix debugfs and tune2fs to correctly handle daylight savings time when
|
|
parsing a time string.
|
|
|
|
Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
|
|
|
|
Fix fsck completion bars when multiple filesystems were being checked
|
|
in parallel. (Addresses Debian Bug: #432865, Addresses Launchpad Bug:
|
|
#203323, Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1926023)
|
|
|
|
Fix fsck so that progress information is sent back correctly when
|
|
multiple filesystems are being check and the output of fsck is being
|
|
redirected to a file descriptor. Also, include the device name (w/o
|
|
spaces) in the progress information sent back via a file descriptor.
|
|
(Addresses Launchpad Bug: #203323, Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
|
|
#1926023)
|
|
|
|
Teach fsck to treat "ext4" and "ext4dev" as ext* filesystems.
|
|
|
|
If logsave receives a SIGTERM or SIGINT signal, it will now pass that
|
|
signal to its child process.
|
|
|
|
Fix mke2fs's creation of are resize inode when there is a non-standard
|
|
s_first_data_block setting.
|
|
|
|
Fix bug in blkid when run by an unprivileged user; most devices were
|
|
not reported correctly. 9Addresses Launchpad Bug: #220275)
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will not allow the logically incorect combination of
|
|
resize_inode and meta_bg, which had previously caused mke2fs to create
|
|
a corrupt fileystem.
|
|
|
|
Fix fsck in German locales so that a 'j' means yes.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1947683)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
Update valgrind options in test_script to work with valgrind 3.2.3
|
|
|
|
Update texinfo.tex to a much newer version from the FSF.
|
|
|
|
Remove bashism for configure script and from the lib/ss Makefile.
|
|
Addresses Sourceforge Bug: 1921969
|
|
|
|
Fix some silently broken tests: m_no_opt, m_meta_bg, and m_raid_opt.
|
|
|
|
Fix build system so that if texinfo is not installed, it won't print a
|
|
(harmless) error message.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.40.8 (March 13, 2008)
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
Fixed e2image -I so it works on image files which are larger than 2GB.
|
|
|
|
Fixed e2fsck's handling of directory inodes with a corrupt size field. If
|
|
the size is larger than the number of blocks found in the inode, don't
|
|
try to allocate extra empty blocks at the end of the directory to make
|
|
up the difference; there's no point to doing that. In addition, if
|
|
the size is not a multiple of a blocksize, always fix it.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck handled a pass 2 "should never happen error" by not giving
|
|
enough information and then core dumping. Unfortunately, it was all
|
|
too easy to trigger the "should never happen" situation if a
|
|
directory's inode size was not correct. This has been fixed, but
|
|
e2fsck has also been taught how to handle this situation more
|
|
gracefully, by simply removing the inode hash tree information, so
|
|
that it can be rebuilt again after e2fsck's pass 3. (Addresses
|
|
Launchpad Bug: #129395)
|
|
|
|
Resize2fs had a bug resizing large inodes with extended attributes
|
|
that was fixed in 1.40.6; unfortunately, it turned out it wasn't fixed
|
|
completely on big-endian systems such as PowerPC. The bug should be
|
|
completely fixed now. Yay for regression test suites. (Addresses Red
|
|
Hat Bugzilla: #434893)
|
|
|
|
Updated German, Czech, Dutch, Polish, Sweedish, and Vietnamese
|
|
translations. Many thanks to Philipp Thomas from Novell for stepping
|
|
up to become the new German translation maintainer! (Addresses Debian
|
|
Bugs: #302512, #370247, #401092, #412882).
|
|
|
|
When e2fsck is clearing a corrupt inode's HTREE directory information,
|
|
make it clear that it is just clearing the HTREE information, not the
|
|
entire inode.
|
|
|
|
Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Add new functions, ext2fs_dblist_get_last() and
|
|
ext2fs_dblist_drop_last(), which allows the caller to examine the last
|
|
directory block entry added to the list, and to drop if it necessary.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a portability problem in libblkid with DJGPP.
|
|
|
|
Fix an obvious typo in an "internal error" message in e2fsck. Thanks
|
|
to Philipp Thomas for pointing this out.
|
|
|
|
If the info files are not built, change "make install" so it doesn't
|
|
fail with an error code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.40.7 (February 28, 2008)
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
Remove support for clearing the SPARSE_SUPER feature from tune2fs, and
|
|
depreciate the -s option, since it can result in filesystems which
|
|
e2fsck can't fix easily. There are very good reasons for wanting to
|
|
disable sparse_super; users who wants to turn off sparse_super can use
|
|
debugfs. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1840286)
|
|
|
|
Add missing options to mke2fs's usage message. (Addresses Sourceforge
|
|
Bug: #1751393)
|
|
|
|
Fix bug in resize2fs when large (greater than 128 byte) inodes are
|
|
moved when a filesystem is shrunk; it was only moving the first 128
|
|
bytes, so extended attributes were not getting moved. (Addresses Red
|
|
Hat Bugzilla: #434893)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now prints an explicit message when the bad block inode is
|
|
updated, to avoid confusion about why the filesystem was modified.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #756460)
|
|
|
|
Allow mke2fs and tune2fs manipulate the large_file feature.
|
|
Previously we just let the kernel and e2fsck do this automatically,
|
|
but e2fsck will no longer automatically clear the large_file feature.
|
|
It still isn't really necessary to worry about this feature flag
|
|
explicitly, but some users seem to care. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla:
|
|
#258381)
|
|
|
|
Suppress message about an old-style fstab if the fstab file is empty.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #468176)
|
|
|
|
Fix (really minor) bug in debugfs's find_free_block so it avoids
|
|
reporting a free block more than once if there are too few free blocks
|
|
in the filesystem. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1096315)
|
|
|
|
Change e2fsck to no longer clear the LARGE_FILES feature flag
|
|
automatically, when there are no more > 2GB files in the filesystem.
|
|
It's been almost a decade since there have been kernels that don't
|
|
support this flag, and e2fsck clears it quietly without telling the
|
|
user why the filesystem has been changed.
|
|
|
|
Fix bug which could cause libblkid to seg fault if a device mapper
|
|
volume disappears while it is being probed. (Addresses RedHat
|
|
Bugzilla: #433857)
|
|
|
|
Inhance e2fsck's reporting of unsupported filesystem feature flags.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Feature Request: #1175808)
|
|
|
|
Fix option syntax in dumpe2fs for explicit superblock and blocksize
|
|
parameters. What was currently documented in the man page has been
|
|
broken for some time, due to getopt() implementation changes. The
|
|
option sytax has been changed to one which is can be more portable
|
|
supported and which is consistent with the format for extended options
|
|
in mke2fs and tune2fs. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1830994)
|
|
|
|
Add support to tune2fs to clear the resize_inode feature. This
|
|
requires an fsck afterwards. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla: #167816)
|
|
|
|
Teach blkid to detect LVM2 physical volumes. (Addresses Red Hat
|
|
Bugzilla: #409321)
|
|
|
|
Add support for setting RAID stride and stripe-width via mke2fs and
|
|
tune2fs. Teach dumpe2fs to print the RAID parameters.
|
|
|
|
Add support for setting new superblock fields to debugfs's
|
|
set_super_value.
|
|
|
|
Add support for printing "mostly-printable" extended attributes in
|
|
Debugfs.
|
|
|
|
Add support for the -M option to fsck, which causes it to ignore
|
|
mounted filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Fix uuidd so that it creates the pid file with the correct pid number.

|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1893244)

Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #466929)
|
|
|
|
Add new flag EXT2_FLAG_NONFREE_ON_ERROR ext2fs_open2() which returns a
|
|
partially filled-in filesystem object on an error, so that e2fsck can
|
|
print more intelligent error messages.
|
|
|
|
Add a new function e2p_edit_feature2() which allows the caller to
|
|
specify which feature flags are OK to set or clear, and which returns
|
|
more specific information about feature flags which are not allowed to
|
|
be set/cleared.
|
|
|
|
Set the C locale in the test_script driver since it uses [A-Za-z].
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1890526)
|
|
|
|
Use fcntl locking instead of lockf in libuuid since Cygwin doesn't
|
|
support lockf().
|
|
|
|
Change configure.in to avoid using the 'dc' command unless it is
|
|
absolutely needed. (i.e., when using parsing a WIP-style version
|
|
number) (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1893024)
|
|
|
|
Add portability checks to support compilation under DJGPP.
|
|
|
|
Update to the latest samba tdb code before the LGPLv3 change, which
|
|
fixes a realloc() leak on failure.
|
|
|
|
Fix memory leak in ext2fs_alloc_block().
|
|
|
|
Fix makefile dependency issues for various install targets.
|
|
(Addresses-Sourceforge-Patches: #1903484, #1903466, #1903456)

|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.40.6 (February 9, 2008)
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
Add support for returning labels for UDF filesystems in the blkid
|
|
library.
|
|
|
|
Fix bug in the blkid library where cached filesystems was not being
|
|
flushed when opening USB devices returned the error ENOMEDIUM.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #463787)
|
|
|
|
Added logic to the blkid library to automatically choose whether a
|
|
filesystem should be mounted as ext4 or ext4dev, as appropriate.
|
|
|
|
Allow tune2fs to set and clear the test_fs flag on ext4 filesystems.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in e2fsck which caused it to core dump if e2fsprogs had been
|
|
configured with --enable-jbd-debug.
|
|
|
|
Document the BLKID_FILE environment variable in the libblkid man page
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Update e2fsprogs translation template and Vietnamese and Czech translations
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #436058)
|
|
|
|
Don't try to create $DESTDIR/etc/init.d as part of make install as we
|
|
don't install the init.d script (and it's not the recommended way to
|
|
start uuidd anyway). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1885085)
|
|
|
|
Use thread local storage to fix a theoretical race condition if two
|
|
threads try to format an unknown error code at the same time in the
|
|
com_err library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.40.5 (January 27, 2008)
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
Fix a potential overflow big in e2image if the device name is too
|
|
long.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will now create new filesystems with 256 byte inodes and the
|
|
ext_attr feature flag by default. This allows for much better future
|
|
compatibity with ext4 and speeds up extended attributes even on ext3
|
|
filesystems.
|
|
|
|
Teach e2fsck to ignore certain "safe" filesystem features which are
|
|
set automatically by the kernel. Having the kernel set features
|
|
automagically behind the user's back is a bad idea, and we should try
|
|
to break the kernel of this habit, especially for the newer ext4
|
|
feature flags. But for now, we will try to avoid needless full checks
|
|
which can annoy users who are doing fresh installs.
|
|
|
|
Add support in tune2fs and mke2fs for making a filesystem as being "ok
|
|
to be used with test kernel code". This will be needed for using test
|
|
filesystems with the latest ext4 kernel code.
|
|
|
|
Change e2fsck -fD so that it sorts non-htree directories by inode
|
|
numbers instead of by name, since that optimizes performances much
|
|
more significantly. (Addresses-Sourceforge-Feature-Request: #532439)
|
|
|
|
If e2image fills the disk, fix it so it exits right away instead of
|
|
spewing large numbers of error messages.
|
|
(Addresses-Sourceforge-Feature-Request: #606508)
|
|
|
|
If ftruncate64() is not available for resize2fs, let it use ftrucate()
|
|
instead, but have it check to see if the size would get truncated, and
|
|
skip calling ftruncate in that case.
|
|
|
|
Add support for detecting HFS+ filesystems in the blkid library.
|
|
|
|
Add supprt in the blkid library for ext4/ext4dev filesystems.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in blkid where it could die on a floating point exception
|
|
when presented with a corrupt reiserfs image.
|
|
|
|
Fix blkid's handling of ntfs UUID's so that leading zeros are printed
|
|
such that UUID string is a fixed length.
|
|
|
|
Add sample python bindings for the uuid library to the contrib
|
|
directory. (Addresses-Sourceforge-Patches: #778817)
|
|
|
|
Fix debugfs's 'lsdel' command so it uses ext2fs_block_iterate2 so it
|
|
will work with large files. (Addresses Sourceforge Feature Request:
|
|
#1257500 and Sourceforge Support Request: #1253511)
|
|
|
|
Allow the debugfs 'undel' command to undelete an inode without linking
|
|
it to a specific destination directory, since this might require
|
|
allocating blocks that could overwrite some yet-to-be-recovered
|
|
deleted files. (Addresses-Sourceforge-Feature-Request: #967141)
|
|
|
|
Update Swedish translations from the Translation Project.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix configure handling of --sbindir (which should rarely be used, but
|
|
someone did complain, so let's fix it). (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
|
|
#498381)
|
|
|
|
Updated e2fsprogs.spec file to include a new uuidd package
|
|
|
|
Use pkg-config to determine where to find the devmapper library so we
|
|
can find out where it is located on different distributions.
|
|
|
|
Fix Makefile race so that "make -j3 distclean" works correctly
|
|
|
|
Fix portability problems on non-Linux/non-Hurd/non-Masix systems,
|
|
especially on MacOS X systems. (Addresses Sourceforge Bugs: #1861633,
|
|
#1819034, #1863819)
|
|
|
|
Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #459403, #459475, #459614)
|
|
|
|
Remove the --enable-dynamic-static configure option, and build e2fsck
|
|
dynamically by default. If the user wants e2fsck.static, he/she will
|
|
need to build it via "make -C e2fsck e2fsck.static"
|
|
|
|
Fix various build warnings due to missing prototypes.

|
E2fsprogs 1.40.4 (December 31, 2007)
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
Improve time-based UUID generation. A new daemon uuidd, is started
|
|
automatically by libuuid if necessary. This daemon is setuid to allow
|
|
updates to /var/lib/libuuid, so the clock sequence number can be
|
|
stored and so if the clock is set backwards, it can be detected.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1529672, Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla:
|
|
#233471)
|
|
|
|
Filter out the NEEDS_RECOVERY feature flag when writing out the backup
|
|
superblocks. This avoids e2fsck from concluding that a full
|
|
filesystem check is required before backing up the superblock due to
|
|
changes in the feature flags. (Addresses Debian Bug: #454926)
|
|
|
|
Fix fsck to only treat the '#' character as a comment at the beginning
|
|
of the line in /etc/fstab. Otherwise fstabs for the fuse filesystem
|
|
will cause fsck to issue an bogus warning message.
|
|
(Addresses Gentoo bug: #195405, Addresses Sourceforge bug: #1826147)
|
|
|
|
Format control characters and characters with the high eighth bit set
|
|
when printing the contents of the blkid cache, to prevent filesystems
|
|
with garbage labels from sending escape sequences to the user's screen
|
|
that might, for example place it in graphics mode. (Addresses Ubuntu
|
|
Bug: #78087)
|
|
|
|
Fix sign-extension problem on 64-bit systems in in the com_err
|
|
library. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1809658)
|
|
|
|
Avoid division by zero error when probing an invalid FAT filesystem in
|
|
the blkid library. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1831627)
|
|
|
|
Update Dutch, Polish, and Vietnamese translations from the Translation
|
|
Project. Remove the Rwandan translation upon advice of the
|
|
Translation Project.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix the libss "make check" regression test so that it works if the
|
|
current directory is not in the user's path or if the libss shared
|
|
library is not installed. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1848974)

|
E2fsprogs 1.40.3 (December 5, 2007)
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
Fix a potential security vulnerability where an untrusted filesystem
|
|
can be corrupted in such a way that a program using libext2fs will
|
|
allocate a buffer which is far too small. This can lead to either a
|
|
crash or potentially a heap-based buffer overflow crash. No known
|
|
exploits exist, but main concern is where an untrusted user who
|
|
possesses privileged access in a guest Xen environment could corrupt a
|
|
filesystem which is then accessed by the pygrub program, running as
|
|
root in the dom0 host environment, thus allowing the untrusted user to
|
|
gain privileged access in the host OS. Thanks to the McAfee AVERT
|
|
Research group for reporting this issue. (Addresses CVE-2007-5497.)
|
|
|
|
Fix hueristics in blkid which could cause a disk without partitions to
|
|
be incorrectly skipped when a loopback device is present. (Addresses
|
|
Red Hat Bugzilla #400321.)
|
|
|
|
Fix e2image so that in raw mode it does not create an image file which
|
|
is one byte too large.
|
|
|
|
Change mke2fs's usage message so it recommends the preferred -E option
|
|
instead of the deprecated -R option.
|
|
|
|
Enhance the blkid library so it will recognize squashfs filesystems.
|
|
(Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #305151.)
|
|
|
|
Enhance e2fsck so it will force the backup superblocks to be backed up
|
|
if the filesystem is consistent and key constants have been changed
|
|
(i.e., by an on-line resize) or by e2fsck in the course of its
|
|
operations.
|
|
|
|
Enhance blkid's detection of FAT filesystems; so that USB disks with
|
|
only a single bootable partition will not get missed.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will no longer mark a filesystem as invalid if it has time
|
|
errors (i.e., if superblock mount time or last write time is in the
|
|
future) and the user refuses to fix the problem.
|
|
|
|
The Ubuntu init scripts don't properly set the system time correctly
|
|
from hardware clock if the hardware clock is configured to tick local
|
|
time instead of GMT time. Work around this as best as we can by
|
|
providing an option, buggy_init_scripts, in /etc/e2fsck.conf which can
|
|
be set on Ubuntu systems. (Addresses Debian Bug #441093, and Ubuntu
|
|
Bug #131201.)
|
|
|
|
Fix fsck to ignore /etc/fstab entries for bind mounts. (Addresses Red
|
|
Hat Bugzilla #151533.)
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck so that if the superblock is corrupt, but still looks
|
|
vaguely like an ext2/3/4 superblock, that it automatically tries to
|
|
fall back to the backup superblock, instead of failing with a hard
|
|
error.
|
|
|
|
Make the e2fsprogs program more robust so that they will not crash
|
|
when opening a corrupt filesystem where s_inode_size is zero.
|
|
|
|
Change e2fsck so it uses sscanf() instead of atoi() so it non-numeric
|
|
arguments are detected as such and the parse error is reported to the
|
|
user. (Addresses Debian Bug #435381.)
|
|
|
|
Change e2fsck so it will not complain if a file has blocks reallocated
|
|
up to the next multiple of a system's page size.
|
|
|
|
Fix bug in ext2fs_check_desc() which will cause e2fsck to complain
|
|
about (valid) filesystems where the inode table extends to the last
|
|
block of the block group. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #214765.)
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in ext2fs_initialize() which causes mke2fs to fail while
|
|
allocating inode tables for some relatively rare odd disk sizes.
|
|
(Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla #241767.)
|
|
|
|
Add Catalan translation and update Dutch and Swedish translations
|
|
from the Translation Project.
|
|
|
|
Fix big-endian byte-swapping bug in ext2fs_swap_inode_full(). We
|
|
still had an issue when trying to figure out whether we need to
|
|
byte-swap fast symlinks that contained extended attributes.
|
|
|
|
Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
|
|
(Addresses SourceForge Bug #1821333.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix mke2fs tests to avoid needing any significant ^M (CR) characters
|
|
|
|
Add "make check" to the RPM spec file
|
|
|
|
Fix "make install" and 'make unstall" in misc/Makefile.in so that it
|
|
works correctly when the prefix is not the root directory.
|
|
|
|
Fix the resize2fs tests, r_move_itable and r_resize_inode, so they
|
|
clena up after themselves by deleting the test.img temporary file
|
|
after completing the test.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a corner case bug ext2fs_unlink() when trying to delete the
|
|
first directory entry in a directory block and the last directory
|
|
entry in the previous directory block is not in use. Fortunately
|
|
ext2fs_unlink() is only used by debugfs and e2fsck, and in e2fsck in
|
|
places where it is extremely unlikely to run into this corner case.
|
|
|
|
Fix missing dependency which would cuase parallel builds to fail.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug #1842331.)
|
|
|
|
Fix a build error on newer gcc caused by lib/ext2fs/ismounted.c
|
|
calling open(O_CREATE) with a missing mode parameter.
|
|
|
|
Fix the test_ss.c in lib/ss so it can be used as an example
|
|
application program for the library as well as a regression test
|
|
suite.
|
|
|
|
Fix ext2fs_dblist_dir_iterate() so that error codes and abort codes
|
|
are properly passed back up through the call stack.
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.40.2 (July 12, 2007)
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
A recent change to e2fsck_add_dir_info() to use tdb files to check
|
|
filesystems with a very large number of filesystems had a typo which
|
|
caused us to resize the wrong data structure. This would cause a
|
|
array overrun leading to malloc pointer corruptions and segfaults.
|
|
Since we normally can very accurately predict how big the the dirinfo
|
|
array needs to be, this bug only got triggered on very badly corrupted
|
|
filesystems.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in e2fsck which caused it to incorrectly salvange
|
|
directories when the last entry's rec_len is bogusly too big. This
|
|
resulted in a nonsense filesystem corruption to be reported, and
|
|
required a second run of e2fsck to fully fix up the directory.
|
|
|
|
Update tune2fs man page to include more discussion of reserved blocks
|
|
(Addresses Launchpad bug #47817)
|
|
|
|
Update Turkish, Polish, Dutch, and Vietnamese PO files from the
|
|
Translation Project
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.40.1 (July 7, 2007)
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
Fix bug which could cause libblkid to loop forever. When revalidating
|
|
a partition where there is obsolete information in /etc/blkid.tab, we
|
|
end up freeing a the type tag without clearing dev->bid_type, causing
|
|
blkid_verify() to loop forever. (Addresses Debian Bug: #432052)
|
|
|
|
The Turkish translation has a bug in it where it has the translation
|
|
of "E@e '%Dn' in %p (%i)" to "E@E". This causes @E to be expanded at
|
|
@E, recursively, forever, until the stack fills up and e2fsck core
|
|
dumps. We fix this by making e2fsck stop @-expansions after a
|
|
recursive depth of 10, which is far more than we need.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1646081)
|
|
|
|
Compile the default mke2fs.conf into mke2fs program. People are
|
|
getting surprised by mke2fs creating filesystems with different
|
|
defaults than earlier versions of mke2fs if mke2fs.conf is not
|
|
present. So we now create a built in version of mke2fs.conf file
|
|
which is used by mke2fs if the /etc/mke2fs.conf is not present.
|
|
(Addresses SourceforgeBug: #1745818)
|
|
|
|
Improve the config/parse_types.sh helper script. Fix a potential
|
|
security problem if e2fsprogs is built as root (as Gentoo does!). In
|
|
addition fix the script and how it is called from the configure script
|
|
so that it does the right thing when cross-compiling. (Fixes Gentoo
|
|
bug: #146903)
|
|
|
|
Update Vietnamese, French, and Dutch PO files from the Translation
|
|
Project. Also created a new e2fsprogs.pot file for translator.
|
|
|
|
Fix bogus strip permission errors when building under Debian. When
|
|
building the e2fsprogs dpkg's, the dh_strip command emits a large
|
|
number of error messages caused by the permissions not being right.
|
|
So run dh_fixperms before running dh_strip.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Add new function: profile_set_default(). This function sets the value
|
|
of the pseudo file "<default>". If the file "<default>" had
|
|
previously been passed to profile_init(), then def_string parameter
|
|
will be parsed and used as the profile information for the "<default>"
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
Fix mk_cmds's error reporting so that it is unambiguous that it is the
|
|
mk_cmds script which is generating the error. (Obviates Gentoo patch:
|
|
e2fsprogs-1.32-mk_cmds-cosmetic.patch)
|
|
|
|
Fix the test suite to use LC_ALL instead of LANG. LC_ALL is the "high
|
|
priority" environment variable that overrides all others, where as
|
|
LANG is the lowest priorty environment variable. If LC_ALL is set, it
|
|
doesn't matter whether LANG, LANGUAGE, LC_COLLATE, LC_MESSAGES, and
|
|
the all the rest are set. This will assure that the locale when
|
|
running the test suites is the "C" locale. (Obviates Gentoo patch:
|
|
e2fsprogs-1.38-tests-locale.patch)
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.40 (June 29, 2007)
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Fix divide by zero error in blkid's NTFS probing logic.
|
|
|
|
Add new blkid -g option which causes the blkid cache to be garbage
|
|
collected.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in libblkid which could cause the internal field bid_type to
|
|
become corrupted. Fortunately bid_type isn't used much, and bid_label
|
|
and bid_uuid is only used by debugging code, so the impact of this bug
|
|
was very minor.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will now store the RAID stride value when a filesystem is
|
|
created with a requested RAID stride, and then use it automatically in
|
|
resize2fs.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs has a sanity check added to make sure (inode_size * num_inodes)
|
|
isn't too big. In some cases Lustre users have tried specifying an
|
|
inode size of 4096 bytes, while keeping an inode ratio of one inode
|
|
per 4096 bytes.
|
|
|
|
Improve sanity check in e2fsck's algorithm for finding a backup
|
|
superblock, so that it won't accidentally find a superblock that was
|
|
located in the journal, and then later reject it as being not a valid
|
|
backup superblock.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck get_size logic so that it will work with the Linux floppy
|
|
driver. The Linux floppy driver is a bit different from the other
|
|
block device drivers, in that if the device has been opened with
|
|
O_EXCL, it disallows another open(), even if the second open() does
|
|
not have the O_EXCL flag. (Addresses Debian Bug: #410569)
|
|
|
|
Fix error checking of badblock's last-block and start-block arguments.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #416477)
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck so that it doesn't overwrite the backup superblocks when
|
|
recovering a journal until the master superblock has been confirmed as
|
|
being sane.
|
|
|
|
Change the blkid library to be much more paranoid about concluding
|
|
that a partition contains an NTFS filesystem, and fetch the UUID and
|
|
LABEL information from NTFS filesystems. (Addresses Launchpad Bug:
|
|
#110138)
|
|
|
|
Factor out the code which sets the default journal size and move it
|
|
into libext2fs.
|
|
|
|
Enhance e2fsck so it will recreate the ext3 journal if the original
|
|
journal inode was cleared to due it being corrupt after finishing the
|
|
filesystem check.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck so that it updates the journal inode if it is corrupted and
|
|
the backup journal information from the superblock was successfully
|
|
used to recover the filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck so that it checks all of the blocks in the journal inode
|
|
for validity. The original code only checked the direct blocks to
|
|
make sure the journal inode was sane. Unfortunately, if some or all
|
|
of the indirect or doubly indirect blocks were corrupted, this would
|
|
not be caught.
|
|
|
|
Add support in blkid to detect LUKS encrypted partitions.
|
|
|
|
Add extra sanity checks for extended attributes in the case where the
|
|
size is zero but the offset is very large.
|
|
|
|
Fix byte-swapping issues for large inodes in ext2fs_read_inode_full()
|
|
and ext2fs_get_next_inode_full().
|
|
|
|
Clarify the copyright licenses used by the various libraries in
|
|
the top-level COPYING file (Red Hat Bugzilla: 166058)
|
|
|
|
Make mke2fs's defaults when /etc/mke2fs.conf doesn't exist more sane.
|
|
|
|
Fix mke2fs and debugfs to support large (> 16 bit) uid's and gid's.
|
|
|
|
Remove check in e2fsck which requires EA's in inodes to be sorted;
|
|
they don't need to be sorted, and e2fsck was previously wrongly
|
|
clearing unsorted EA's stored in the inode structure.
|
|
|
|
Allow mke2fs or tune2fs to create a substantially larger journal (up
|
|
to 10,240,000 blocks).
|
|
|
|
Fix MD superblock detection, and make sure the correct UUID is
|
|
reported from the MD superblock.
|
|
|
|
Fix a signed vs. unsigned bug in debugfs.
|
|
|
|
Enhance debugfs's date parser so that it accepts integer values.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck's pass1c accounting so it doesn't terminate too early if a
|
|
file with multiply claimed blocks is hard linked. or not at all if the
|
|
root directory contains shared blocks
|
|
|
|
Enhance debugfs so it can modify the block group descriptors using the
|
|
command set_block_group_descriptor.
|
|
|
|
Improve e2fsck's reporting of I/O errors so it's clearer what it was
|
|
trying to do when an error happens
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in in how e2fsprogs byte swaps inodes containing fast
|
|
symlinks that have extended attributes. (Addresses Red Hat Bugzilla:
|
|
#232663 and LTC Bugzilla: #27634)
|
|
|
|
Fix potential file descriptor leak in ext2fs_get_device_size() in an
|
|
error case.
|
|
|
|
Add libreadline.so.5 support to libss.
|
|
|
|
Impove badblocks -n/-w exclusive usage message.
|
|
|
|
Fix dump_unused segfault in debugfs when a filesystem is not open
|
|
|
|
Fix memory leak in blkid library. (Addresses Debian Bug: #413661)
|
|
|
|
Allow the debugfs lcd command to work w/o a filesystem being open.
|
|
(Addresses LTC Bugzilla #27513)
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck to clear i_size for special devices with a bogus i_blocks
|
|
field on the first pass.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck to set the file type of the '..' entry when connecting
|
|
a directory to lost+found. (Addresses Lustre Bug: #11645)
|
|
|
|
Enhance e2fsck to recover directories whose modes field were corrupted
|
|
to look like special files. This is probably only useful in
|
|
artificial test cases, but it will be useful if we ever do the "inodes
|
|
in directory" idea for ext4.
|
|
|
|
Allow debugfs to dump (and rdump) > 2GB files. (Addresses Debian Bug:
|
|
#412614)
|
|
|
|
Fix resize2fs parsing of size parameter (in sector units). This was
|
|
actually a bug in libe2p's parse_num_blocks() function. When handling
|
|
the 's' suffix, it was ignoring the blocksize information passed in
|
|
from the caller and always interpreting the number in terms of a 1k
|
|
blocksize. (Addresses Debian Bug: #408298)
|
|
|
|
There was a floating point precision error which could cause e2fsck to
|
|
loop forever on really big filesystems with a large inode count.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #411838)
|
|
|
|
Fix memory leak in ext2fs_write_new_inode()
|
|
|
|
Add support for using a scratch files directory to reduce e2fsck's
|
|
memory utilization on really big filesystems. This uses the TDB
|
|
library. See the [scratch_files] section of the e2fsck.conf man page
|
|
for more details.
|
|
|
|
Fixed type-punning bug which caused dumpe2fs to crash on the Arm
|
|
platform (Addresses Debian Bug: #397044)
|
|
|
|
Add explanatory message to badblocks that -n and -w are mutually exclusive
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #371869)
|
|
|
|
Allow debugfs and dumpe2fs to support fs features under development.
|
|
|
|
Add support for the new flag EXT2_FLAG_SOFTSUPP_FEATURES flag to
|
|
ext2fs_open() , which allows application to open filesystes with features
|
|
which are currently only partially supported by e2fsprogs.
|
|
|
|
Allow unix_io to support offsets greater than 2G (Addresses
|
|
SourceForge Bug: #1547922)
|
|
|
|
Fixed overflow and signed/unsigned problems caused by the number of
|
|
blocks or inodes exceeding 2**31 or being close to 2**32-1.
|
|
|
|
Add support for unsigned directory hash calculations with hints in the
|
|
superblock to fix cross-architectural portability for htree
|
|
directories with filenames where the high 8th bit is set. (Addresses
|
|
Debian: #389772)
|
|
|
|
Fix resize2fs so that it gives user-intelligible error messages if the
|
|
filesystem or the kernel does not support on-line resizing.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #380548)
|
|
|
|
Require mke2fs -F -F for really dangerous operations, since -F is
|
|
needed for less dangerous operations such as creating filesystems
|
|
images in regular files, or creating filesystems on whole block
|
|
devices. These relatively innocuous usages should NOT be confused
|
|
with running mke2fs on an apparently-mounted or in-use filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Allow the default inode size to be specified into the mke2fs.conf
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
Make the smallest default journal size is big enough so that on-line
|
|
resizing should always work.
|
|
|
|
Fix silly spelling error in e2fsck. (Addresses SourceForge bug:
|
|
#1531372)
|
|
|
|
Fix debugfs coredump when lsdel is run without an open filesystem
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #378335)
|
|
|
|
Fix debugfs display bug us that bytes that have the high bit set are
|
|
displayed as "ec" instead of "ffffffec".
|
|
|
|
Add support in lsattr so it will display the EXT4_EXTENTS_FL flag.
|
|
|
|
Device mapper scanning wasn't working in the blkid library because the
|
|
pathnames had an extra "/dev" when they were being probed.
|
|
|
|
Add GFS/GFS2 support to the blkid library.
|
|
|
|
Fix blkid support of empty FAT filesystem labels.
|
|
|
|
Avoid recursing forever (or for a long time) when the blkid library
|
|
searches for a device and there are symlinks to directories in /dev.
|
|
|
|
Avoid unaligned halfword access in blkid when accessing FAT
|
|
superblocks, as this will cause Sparc/Solaris systems to throw a
|
|
SIGBUS error.
|
|
|
|
The latest devmapper libraries requires pthreads, add -lpthreads to
|
|
the static link libraries for e2fsck.static if devmapper is enabled.
|
|
(Addresses Debian bug: #388718)
|
|
|
|
Improve the (non-installed, for experts only) 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.
|
|
|
|
Updated Spanish, French and Dutch translations and added Catalan
|
|
translation. (Addresses Debian bug: #411562)
|
|
|
|
Use FreeBSD's DIOCGMEDIASIZE and DIOCGDINFO ioctls if available when
|
|
determining a partition's size, since binary searching to determine
|
|
the device doesn't work on FreeBSD.
|
|
|
|
Documentation about UUID's is available in enough places, and it's
|
|
awkward to deal with debian-legal's insanities. So I'm caving in the
|
|
"more-lunatic-than-RMS" wing of Debian by removing RFC-4122 so we
|
|
don't have do the dfsg tarball. Also remove the rule that only tried
|
|
to install RFC-4122 on Ubuntu, since Ubuntu seems to want to fetch
|
|
e2fsprogs exclusively from Debian. (Addresses Debian Bug: #407107)
|
|
|
|
Fix the info-dir line so that the menu name does not contain a .info
|
|
prefix. First of all, it's ugly, secondly, it causes the install-info
|
|
command to fail to remove the com_err info file from the
|
|
/usr/share/info/dir file when the comerr-dev package is removed and
|
|
purged. (Addresses Debian Bug: #401711)
|
|

Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.

Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now supports the %It expansion when printing a problem report.
|
|
It will print the type of the inode in the problem context.
|
|
|
|
Fix misc/Makefile.in so that it builds even if e2fsck hasn't been built yet
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1565561)
|
|
|
|
Remove unused variables and other lint/gcc -Wall cleanups
|
|
|
|
Add check to ext2fs_get_device_size() so it will return EFBIG for for
|
|
filesystems contained in regular files where the filesystem image size
|
|
is returned by stat64().
|
|
|
|
Set local environment variables to C so mk_cmds and compile_et always
|
|
work. (Addresses SourceForge Bug: #1532177)
|
|
|
|
Added the 64-bit byte swapping function ext2fs_swab64().
|
|
|
|
Added two new helper functions to prevent 2**31/2**32-1 overflow
|
|
problems: ext2fs_div_ceil() and e2p_percent().
|
|
|
|
Create new ext2fs library inline functions ext2fs_group_first_block()
|
|
and ext2fs_group_last_block() in order to calculate the starting and
|
|
ending blocks in a block group.
|
|
|
|
Create the generated files read-only to remind developers not to edit them.
|
|
|
|
Add support for autoconf 2.60 (with backwards compatibility for older
|
|
versions of autoconf).
|
|
|
|
Added an "make rpm" target to top-level Makefile
|
|
|
|
Added various FreeBSD portability fixes.
|
|
|
|
Exclude mercurial files from the RPM build tree to speed up copy/build.
|
|
|
|
Use root_sysconfdir to define the locations of mke2fs.conf and
|
|
e2fsck.conf instead of using a hard-coded /etc pathname.
|
|
|
|
Prevent e2fsck.h and ext2_ext_attr.h from getting included multiple times.
|
|
|
|
Fixed "make clean" in blkid's Makefile.in file from removing tst_*.c files.
|
|
|
|
If diff -u is supported, use it to report test failures.
|
|
|
|
Updates/improvements to RPM spec file
|
|
|
|
Add on-disk format definitions for the following new features:
|
|
EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_HUGE_FILE, EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_GDT_CSUM,
|
|
EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_DIR_NLINK, EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_64BIT,
|
|
EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE
|
|
|
|
Add a new make target "checked-failed" in the tests directory which
|
|
reruns any failed tests
|
|
|
|
Update draft-leach-uuids-guids-01.txt with rfc4122.txt
|
|
|
|
Fix miscellaneous bugs reported by Coverity: Dead code, potential nul
|
|
pointer dereferences, memory leaks, etc. None were security-criticial
|
|
problems.
|
|
|
|
Fix up usage and decrement error messages in the test_icount program
|
|
|
|
Add debugging code to the com_err library; if the environment variable
|
|
COMERR_DEBUG is set to 1, print out debugging messages as error tables
|
|
are added and removed from the com_err library. If the
|
|
COMERR_DEBUG_FILE environment variable is set (and the process is not
|
|
setuid) the debugging messages may be redirected to a file.
|
|
|
|
Change all of the e2fsprogs programs to use the newer add_error_table()
|
|
and remove_error_table() interfaces instead of the much older
|
|
initialize_*_error_table() function.
|
|
|
|
Add TDB support into the ext2fs library. This allows us to have a
|
|
guaranteed library we can count on always being present so we can
|
|
store data in an on-disk database.
|
|
|
|
Add support for using TDB to store the icount data, so we don't run out
|
|
of memory when checking really large filesystems.
|
|
|
|
Change the regression test suite so that it skips empty test directories.
|
|
|
|
Define the l_i_iversion field in ext2_inode. The l_i_version field is
|
|
now defined from the old l_i_reserved1 field in the ext2 inode. This
|
|
field will be used to store high 32 bits of the 64-bit inode version
|
|
number.
|
|
|
|
Add Makefile production rule for e2fsprogs.spec in case it gets
|
|
deleted.
|
|
|
|
Add new function profile_get_uint() to allow for a clean way to fetch
|
|
unsigned integers from the context.
|
|
|
|
Add test to make sure the ext2 superblock structure is 1024 bytes.
|
|
|
|
Fix typo in name of f_dup4 regression test
|
|
|
|
Add new function blkid_gc_cache() which performs a garbage collection
|
|
pass on the /etc/blkid.tab file.
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_open() function now sets EXT2_FLAG_MASTER_SB_ONLY. In
|
|
general, only e2fsck (after the filesystem is clean), tune2fs, and
|
|
resize2fs should change the backup superblocks by default. Most
|
|
callers of ext2fs_open() should not be touching any superblock fields
|
|
which require the backups to be touched.
|
|
|
|
Add new function to libext2fs, ext2fs_default_journal_size(), which
|
|
returns the default journal size.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.39 (May 29, 2006)
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
Fix 32-bit cleanliness in e2fsprogs so that we can support filesystems
|
|
between 2**31 and 2**32 blocks.
|
|
|
|
Change mke2fs to use /etc/mke2fs.conf as a configuration file to
|
|
configure the filesystem features, blocksize, and inode_ratio for
|
|
different filesystem types.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will now create filesystems hash trees and on-line resizing
|
|
enabled by default, based on the new /etc/mke2fs.conf file.
|
|
|
|
The e2fsprogs tools (resize2fs, e2fsck, mke2fs) will open the
|
|
filesystem device node in exclusive mode to prevent accidents by
|
|
system administrators. In the case of resize2fs and mke2fs, it will
|
|
only use exclusive mode if the filesystem is not mounted.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in mke2fs which caused it to to fail when creating the
|
|
resize inode for large filesystems. (Addresses Debian Bug #346580)
|
|
|
|
When allocating space for the RAID filesystems with the stride
|
|
parameter, mke2fs will now place each portion of the group's inode
|
|
table right up after the superblock (if present) in order to minimize
|
|
fragmentation of the freespace.
|
|
|
|
Speed up mke2fs and e2fsck by writing inode and block bitmaps more
|
|
efficiently by writing the inode and block bitmaps in one pass, thus
|
|
reducing the number of disk seeks required.
|
|
|
|
Add support for on-line resizing to resize2fs.
|
|
|
|
Fix blkid library so that logic to determine whether or not a device's
|
|
cached information in /etc/blkid.tab needs to be verified or not
|
|
doesn't get confused by a system clock which is insane (for example,
|
|
if the battery is dead on a Macintosh running PPC Linux. (Addresses
|
|
Red Hat Bug: #182188)
|
|
|
|
The blkid library will now store the UUID of the external journal used
|
|
by ext3 filesystems, so that in the future, the userspace mount binary
|
|
can use this to find the location of the external journal and pass
|
|
this information to the kernel.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now consult a configuration file, /etc/e2fsck.conf to
|
|
control how various options should be handled. See the e2fsck.conf
|
|
man page for more details. (Addresses Debian Bug: #150295)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now prints an explanatory message when delaying a filesystem
|
|
check when the system is running on battery. (Addresses Debian Bug:
|
|
#350306)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will detect if the superblock's last mount field or last write
|
|
field is in the future, and offer to fix if so. (Addresses Debian Bug
|
|
#327580) These problems will be fixed automatically in preen mode
|
|
since Debian's boot sequence bogusly doesn't set the time correctly
|
|
until potentially very late in the bootup process, and this can cause
|
|
false positives which will cause users' systems to fail to boot.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bugs #343662 and #343645)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now checks to see if the superblock hint for the location of
|
|
the external journal is incorrect, and if so, offer to update it.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #355644)
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck from segfaulting on disconnected inodes that contain one or
|
|
more extended attributes. (Addresses Debian Bug: #316736, #318463)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will stop and print a warning if the user tries running a
|
|
read/write badblocks test on a read-only mounted root filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Fix a memory leak in e2fsck's error paths. (Thanks to Michael
|
|
C. Thompson for pointing these out; they were originally found using
|
|
Coverity.)
|
|
|
|
When resizing a file containing a filesystem, resize2fs will expand or
|
|
truncate a file as necessary. (Addresses Debian Bug: #271607)
|
|
|
|
Resize2fs will now automatically determine the RAID stride parameter that
|
|
had been used to create the filesystem, and use that for newly created
|
|
block groups. The RAID stride parameter may also be manually specified
|
|
on the command line using the new -S option to resize2fs.
|
|
|
|
Fix mke2fs so that it correctly creates external journals on
|
|
big-endian machines (such as a S/390).
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in the e2p library which could cause dumpe2fs to (rarely)
|
|
fail to print out the journal or hash seed UUID. (Thanks to Guillaume
|
|
Chambraud for pointing this out.)
|
|
|
|
Dumpe2fs will now print the size of the journal (if present).
|
|
|
|
Fix debugfs's set_inode_field command so it can properly set the frag,
|
|
fsize, uid_high, gid_high, and author fields in the inode instead of
|
|
silently failing, and so that setting the i_size actually sets i_size
|
|
correctly.
|
|
|
|
Add a new debugfs command, set_current_time, which sets fs->now so
|
|
that regression test suites can repeatedly modify the filesystem's
|
|
last_write fields.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in debugfs's icheck which would incorrectly report the owner
|
|
of an extended attribute block.
|
|
|
|
Fix the debugfs commands htree_dump, dx_hash, and list_dir so they print a
|
|
print a usage message when an illegal option character is given.
|
|
|
|
Fix debugfs's dump_unsued command on filesystems with a 64k blocksize
|
|
so it won't core dump. (Addresses SourceForge bug #1424311)
|
|
|
|
Fix mklost+found so that it creates a full-sized directory on
|
|
filesystems with larger block sizes.
|
|
|
|
Fix a file descriptor leak in blkid library.
|
|
|
|
Fix a display bug in "badblocks -sv" so that the done message properly
|
|
clears the block number at the end of the test. (Addresses Debian Bug
|
|
#322231)
|
|
|
|
Allow fractional percentages to the -m option in mke2fs and tune2fs
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug: #80205)
|
|
|
|
Use fstat/fstat64 in getsize.c if the the target is a regular file,
|
|
instead of attempting to do a binary search. Fix some fd leaks in
|
|
error cases.
|
|
|
|
Add support for device mapper library to the blkid library to ensure
|
|
that the "best" (i.e., leaf) device is probed by the blkid library.
|
|
|
|
Fix the blkid library so that it notices when an ext2 filesystem is
|
|
upgraded to ext3.
|
|
|
|
Improve the blkid's library VFAT/FAT detection; it now understands
|
|
labels stored in the root directory, and is more paranoid about
|
|
checking the FAT superblock values.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a fd leak in the uuid library which was causing problems for the
|
|
LVM tools. (Addresses Debian Bug: #345832)
|
|
|
|
Add support for the reiser4 and software suspend partitions to the
|
|
blkid library. Also add support for extract the label from iso9660
|
|
filesystems.
|
|
|
|
Fix a compile_et bug which miscount the number of error messages if
|
|
continuations are used in the .et file.
|
|
|
|
Add extra sanity checks to protect users from unusual cirucmstances
|
|
where /etc/mtab may not be sane, by checking to see if the device is
|
|
reported busy (works on Linux 2.6) kernels. (Addresses Debian Bug
|
|
#319002)
|
|
|
|
Updated French, Dutch, Polish, and Swedish translations. (Addresses Debian
|
|
Bug: #343149, #341911, #300871, #316604, #316782, #330789)
|
|
|
|
Fix use-after-free bug in e2fsck when finishing up the use of the
|
|
e2fsck context structure.
|
|
|
|
Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages and
|
|
documentation. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #329859, #322188, #316811,
|
|
#312515, #351268, #357951, #347295, #316040, #368392, #368393, #368394,
|
|
#368179)
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details. (Addresses Debian Bugs #317862, #320389, #290429, #310950,

Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Update config.guess and config.sub to latest version (2006-02-23) from
|
|
FSF.
|
|
|
|
Fix asm_types.h type conflicts on AMD 64 platforms. (Addresses Debian
|
|
Bugs: #360661, #360317)
|
|
|
|
Fixed the Makefile so that they work correctly on newer versions of
|
|
GNU make (i.e., 3.81).
|
|
|
|
Add valgrind support to the regression test suites, and eliminate
|
|
false positives from valgrind.
|
|
|
|
Add a regression test suite for the blkid library.
|
|
|
|
Fix a fencepost error in resize2fs caught by valgrind.
|
|
|
|
Fix compiler warnings about missing memcpy prototypes.
|
|
|
|
We no longer have the sparc assembly code in the header file any more,
|
|
so we shouldn't set _EXT2_HAVE_HAS_BITOPS_ for the sparc. This would
|
|
break compiles on the sparc architectures when using gcc.
|
|
|
|
In the libext2fs library, add the new field fs->now which if non-zero
|
|
is used instead of the system time when setting various filesystem
|
|
fields (last modified time, last write time, etc.)
|
|
|
|
Fix gcc 4.01 complaints by adding a missing #include <string.h> to
|
|
ext2fs.h which is needed since the inline functions use memcpy().
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug #1251062)
|
|
|
|
Use BUILD_CFLAGS and BUILD_LDFLAGS instead of CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in
|
|
the build system when building files in the util directory which are
|
|
needed during the build process. This avoids potential problems when
|
|
cross-compiling and some of the options specified in CFLAGS or LDFLAGS
|
|
are not recognized as valid by the host compiler. (Addresses
|
|
Sourceforge Bug #1261547)
|
|
|
|
Clean up the blkid library by making the superblock and generic i/o
|
|
functions to be more generic. Clean up interface to the probe
|
|
function, and fix memory leak. Finallly, remove an unneeded reference
|
|
to probe.h in the lib/blkid/resolve.c
|
|
|
|
Add an ext2fs_read_bb_FILE regression test to confirm proper detection
|
|
of invalid block #'s.
|
|
|
|
The x86 asm constraints for ext2fs_{set/clear}_bit have been fixed to
|
|
indicate that the the function read/writes the memory location.
|
|
|
|
Fix various gcc -Wall complaints.
|
|
|
|
Add a dependency to make sure that the subdirectories are created
|
|
before creating all of the object files, in order to address parallel
|
|
build problem in the library Makefiles. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
|
|
#1261553)
|
|
|
|
Add $(LDFLAGS) to the command line argument when generating an ELF or
|
|
Solaris shared library, to allow cross-compile and other builds that
|
|
might need to specify -L paths to needed libraries. (Addresses
|
|
Sourceforge Bug #1261549)
|
|
|
|
Add a new feature, EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_LAZY_BG, which is initially
|
|
intended for testing purposes. It allows an ext2/ext3 developer to
|
|
create very large filesystems using sparse files where most of the
|
|
block groups are not initialized and so do not require much disk
|
|
space. Eventually it could be used as a way of speeding up mke2fs and
|
|
e2fsck for large filesystem, but that would be best done by adding an
|
|
RO_COMPAT extension to the filesystem to allow the inode table to be
|
|
lazily initialized on a per-block basis, instead of being entirely
|
|
initialized or entirely unused on a per-blockgroup basis.
|
|
|
|
Fix backwards compatibility so e2fsprogs will better compile on Linux
|
|
2.0.35 systems.
|
|
|
|
Make test scripts more robust against locale-related environment variables
|
|
|
|
Fix type warning problem with sizeof() in ext2fs_open2().
|
|
|
|
Fix type warning problem with time_t in debugfs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.38 (June 30, 2005)
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Fix blkid's test programs (built with "make check") compile correctly
|
|
even without "configure --enable-blkid-debug".
|
|
|
|
Fix ia64 core dump bug caused by e2fsprogs running afoul of C99 strict
|
|
type aliasing rules on newer gcc compilers. (Addresses Red Hat
|
|
Bugzilla ##161183.)
|
|
|
|
Fix com_err library to make it more compatible with recent changes
|
|
made to the com_err library in MIT Kerberos V5 version 1.4.
|
|
(Addresses Sourcefroge Bug #1150146)
|
|
|
|
General cleanup of messages printed by e2fsprogs programs for grammar,
|
|
consistency, and to make life easier for translators. Fixed a few
|
|
strings containing English that had not been marked as needing
|
|
translations. Removed strings that do not need to be translated, to
|
|
make life easier for translators.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs and badblocks will take advantage of a feature in Linux 2.6 to
|
|
test to see if a device appears to be in use instead of just relying
|
|
on /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab. (Addresses Debian Bug #308594).
|
|
|
|
Fix portability problem in the filefrag program affecting platforms
|
|
where the size of an integer is smaller than the size of a long.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug #309655)
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will now use a larger journal by default for filesystems
|
|
greater than 4GB. (128 MB instead of 32MB).
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will refuse to create filesystems greater than 2**31-1 blocks,
|
|
unless forced. This is to avoid signed vs. unsigned kernel bugs in
|
|
block numbers that still need to be fixed.
|
|
|
|
The blkid program has a new option which will more efficiently search
|
|
for device when it is known (or expected) that only one matching
|
|
device will be found in the system, such as when doing a lookup by
|
|
UUID.
|
|
|
|
Debian's e2fsprogs-specific initrd fragment will avoid including
|
|
unnecessary libraries into the initrd ramdisk by unsetting LD_PRELOAD
|
|
and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and filtering out libraries found in
|
|
/etc/ld.so.preload. (Addresses Debian Bug: #304003)
|
|
|
|
Fixed a potential portability issue in the blkid programs for
|
|
architectures where the char type is unsigned. (Addresses Sourceforge
|
|
Bug: #1180585)
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in filefrag so that it doesn't falsely count an extra
|
|
discontinuity when the first block found is an indirect block.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug #307607).
|
|
|
|
Fix blkid's recognition of cramfs filesystems, and enhance it to be
|
|
able to handle cramfs labels.
|
|
|
|
Fix debugfs's stat command to not core dump when a filesystem is not
|
|
open.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck's handling of error conditions caused by the resize inode
|
|
claiming blocks that are also used by other inodes, a filesystem
|
|
corruption which was commonly caused by a bug in Fedora Core 3's
|
|
resize2fs program.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in filefrag which caused it to fail on non-ext2/3
|
|
filesystems. (Addresses Debian Bug: #303509)
|
|
|
|
If the superblock last mount time indicates that the system clock may
|
|
not be accurate, then e2fsck will omit checking inodes' deletion time
|
|
field for indications of a potential corrupted orphaned inode list.
|
|
(Previously e2fsck only ommited these LOW_DTIME checks when the
|
|
superblock's last write time looked insane.)
|
|
|
|
Fixed a IA64 core dump bug in the e2p library which affected dumpe2fs.
|
|
(Addresses Debian bug #302200)
|
|
|
|
Make the blkid library more paranoid about being run from setgid
|
|
programs, and to use __secure_getenv() from libc if it is available.
|
|
|
|
Fixed spelling mistakes, typos, and otherwise clarified man pages.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bugs: #304591, #304592, #304594, #304597, #304593
|
|
and Sourceforge Bug: #1189803)
|
|
|
|
Updated and fixed translations.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Ext2fs_set_bit(), ext2fs_clear_bit(), and ext2fs_test_bit( have been
|
|
changed to take an unsigned int for the bit number. Negative bit
|
|
numbers were never allowed (and didn't make any sense), so this should
|
|
be a safe change. This is needed to allow safe use of block numbers
|
|
greater than or equal to 2**31.
|
|
|
|
The compile_et program will avoid recreating generated foo_err.c and
|
|
foo_err.h files if no changes are necessary. The compile_et program
|
|
will also atomically replace these files to avoid a potential parallel
|
|
build race problem on SMP systems. (Addresses Sourceforge Bug:
|
|
#1157933)
|
|
|
|
Added a new function to the blkid library, blkid_probe_all_new(),
|
|
which only probes newly added disk devices, and change
|
|
blkid_find_dev_with_tag() to use this function so that when a
|
|
requested tag is not found, devices that were previously not checked
|
|
are searched before searching all devices in the system.
|
|
|
|
Added new functions to the blkid library, blkid_dev_set_search() and
|
|
blkid_dev_has_tag().
|
|
|
|
E2fsck's problem strings can now use @m and @n as abbrevations for
|
|
"multiply-claimed" and "invalid", respectively.
|
|
|
|
The e2fsprog.pot file now has an explanation of how the @-expansion
|
|
and %-expansion works, and strings in e2fsck/problem.c which contain @
|
|
characters now have comments in e2fsprogs.pot with the @-expansion to
|
|
make life easier for translators.
|
|
|
|
Fixed missing return values in the ext2fs library which could cause it
|
|
to return random garbage in certain error conditions.
|
|
|
|
Allow the current time to be overriden via the E2FSCK_TIME environment
|
|
variable for use in regression tests.
|
|
|
|
The test scrpit driver program now exits with a non-zero status if
|
|
there any of its test that it ran failed.
|
|
|
|
Fixed problems with parabuilds on SMP systems. (Addresses Sourceforge
|
|
Bug: #1157933)
|
|
|
|
Fixed "make check" so that it compiles correctly even when e2fsprogs'
|
|
header files have not be installed in the system include directories.
|
|
(Addresses Sourceforge Bug: #1180572)
|
|
|
|
Fixed gcc -Wall nits.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.37 (March 21, 2005)
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
Add support for checking the validity of Extended Attributes stored in
|
|
inodes to e2fsck.
|
|
|
|
Add support for dumping the contents of large inodes to debugfs,
|
|
including the extended attributes stored in inodes.
|
|
|
|
Fix mke2fs, e2fsck, debugfs, and the ext2fs_mkdir function so that
|
|
when we create a new inode we make sure that the extra information in
|
|
the inode (any extra fields in a large inode and any ea-in-inode
|
|
information) is initialized correctly. This can take place when
|
|
mke2fs creates the root and lost+found directory, when e2fsck creates
|
|
a new root inode or a new lost+found directory, and when the user uses
|
|
the debugfs write, mknod, or mkdir commands. Otherwise, the newly
|
|
create inode could inherit garbage (or old EA information) from a
|
|
previously deleted inode.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in e2fsck so it would notice if a file with an extended
|
|
attribute block was exactly 2**32 blocks, such that i_blocks wrapped
|
|
to zero.
|
|
|
|
Added support to filefrag to detect files which are using the new
|
|
experimental file extents format, and use the non-ext2 algorithm in
|
|
that case. Fixed a bug to avoid reporting a false discontinuity if
|
|
there is one or more unallocated blocks at the beginning of a file.
|
|
|
|
Duplicated a check for noticing whether or not the number of blocks
|
|
(given a certain blocksize) is greater than 2**32 when the
|
|
BLKGETSIZE64 ioctl is not available to ext2fs_get_device_size(). This
|
|
allows mke2fs to automatically use a larger blocksize when creating a
|
|
filesystem on a very large device when run on systems that do not
|
|
support BLKGETSIZE64.
|
|
|
|
Fix the I18N build which was broken in e2fsprogs 1.36 because the
|
|
build system had been switched to treat the .gmo files as shipped
|
|
files (for backwards compatibility with systems that have older GNU
|
|
I18N tools installed), but the gen_tarball.in script was still
|
|
removing the .gmo files from the official source distribution.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues --- see debian/changelog for
|
|
details. (Addresses Debian Bugs ##296769, #299341)
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Added new functions to the e2p library which convert between a string
|
|
and os_type: e2p_os2string() and e2p_string2os(), and used them to
|
|
make the generated binaries more compact.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a compile-time error on Darwin systems.
|
|
|
|
Cleaned up the lib/ext2fs Makefile slightly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.36 (February 4, 2005)
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
All of the patches that were applied to Fedore Core 3's
|
|
e2fsprogs-1.35-11.2 have been integrated, although sometimes with a
|
|
lot of bug fixes first. Users of Fedora Core 3 are strongly
|
|
encouraged to upgrade to e2fsprogs 1.36 as soon as possible.
|
|
|
|
Add support for filesystem with the online resizing via resize inode
|
|
feature. Fixed numerous bugs from the Fedora patches. The Fedora
|
|
patches also didn't bother to do any consistency checking on the
|
|
resize inode, or add any tests to the regression test suite. The "-R
|
|
resize=4g" option to mke2fs was a no-op in the Fedora patches, despite
|
|
being listed in mke2fs's usage message. All of these shortcomings
|
|
have been corrected.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck can also also fix filesystems trashed by Fedora's resize2fs
|
|
program. In order to do this, the user must run the commands:
|
|
|
|
debugfs -w /dev/hdXXX -R "features ^resize_inode"
|
|
e2fsck -f /dev/hdXXX
|
|
|
|
Optionally, the ext2prepare command can be used to re-enable online
|
|
resizing after the filesystem has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
The fsck program will now accept an optional filedescriptor argument
|
|
to the -C option. (The Fedora version of this patch would sometimes
|
|
cause fsck to ignore a parameter on fsck's command line in some rare
|
|
cases, sigh.)
|
|
|
|
Make sure e2fsprogs doesn't write garbage into the reserved portion of
|
|
large inodes.
|
|
|
|
Make sure resize2fs releases the blocks belonging to the old inode
|
|
table blocks when moving the inode table. (Addresses Debian Bug:
|
|
#290894)
|
|
|
|
Skip the r_resize_inode test if resize2fs is not compiled (due to
|
|
configure --disable-resizer)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now checks the summary filesystem accounting information, and
|
|
if any of the information is obviously wrong, it will force a full
|
|
filesystem check. (Addresses Debian Bug #291571)
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck to not complain when the resize_inode feature is enabled,
|
|
s_reserved_gdt_blocks is zero, and there is no DIND block allocated in
|
|
the resize inode.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck to note delete symlinks that contain an extended attribute
|
|
after the ext_attr feature flag has been cleared. (Addresses Red Hat
|
|
Bugzilla #146284).
|
|
|
|
Add new utility program, copy_sparse.c, which is very useful
|
|
for dealing with large sparse files (such as e2image files).
|
|
|
|
Add support for jnl_blocks[] for debugfs's set_super_value.
|
|
|
|
Fix filefrag so that it works correctly with sparse files.
|
|
|
|
Filefrag -v will print first and last blocks.
|
|
|
|
Add interpretation of OS Creator values for FreeBSD and Lites in mke2fs
|
|
and dumpe2fs.
|
|
|
|
Add mke2fs support so that it can support filesystems larger than 4TB
|
|
automatically, by retrying with a 4k blocksize if the device size is
|
|
too big to be expressed using a 1k blocksize. (Addresses Sourceforge
|
|
bug #1106631)
|
|
|
|
Change blkid to test for NTFS first because Windows sometimes doesn't
|
|
clear enough of the parition to confuse the probing routines into
|
|
thinking the old filesystem type is still valid. (Addresses Debian
|
|
Bug #291990)
|
|
|
|
Add support for swap partition label and uuid's in the blkid library.
|
|
|
|
Add support to the blkid library to recognize Oracle ASM volumes.
|
|
|
|
Make blkid -t display all devices that match the specified criteria,
|
|
not just the first one, and work more consistently when the blkid
|
|
cache file is not available or set to /dev/null. (Addresses Debian
|
|
Bug #290530 and #292425)
|
|
|
|
Badblocks will now correctly display block numbers greater than
|
|
999,999,999 in its progress display.
|
|
|
|
The tune2fs program will not allow the user from setting a ridiculous
|
|
number of reserved blocks which would cause e2fsck to assume the
|
|
superblock was corrupt. E2fsck's standards for what is a ridiculous
|
|
number of reserved block has also been relaxed to 50% of the blocks in
|
|
the filesystem.
|
|
|
|
The blkid library will return vfat in preference to msdos, and ext3 in
|
|
preference to ext2 (if the journalling flag is set) so that mount will
|
|
do the right thing. (Addresses Debian bug #287455)
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will now use the -E option for extended options; the old -R
|
|
(raid options) option is still accepted for backwards compatibility.
|
|
Fix a double-free problem in resize2fs. (Red Hat Bugzilla #132707)
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will now accept a size in megabytes, gigabytes, and other units
|
|
(via "32m" or "4g" on the command line) if the user finds this more
|
|
convenient than specifying a block count.
|
|
|
|
Fix an obscure, hard-to find bug in "e2fsck -S" caused by an inode
|
|
cache conherency problem.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs now supports a new command, set_inode_field, which allows a
|
|
user to manually set a specific inode field more conveniently, as well
|
|
as set entries in the indirect block map.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs's set_super_value command has been enhanced so that the user
|
|
can set most superblock fields, including the date/time fields and
|
|
some of the more newsly added superblock fields.
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs programs now accept an offset to be passed to the file
|
|
specifiers, via the syntax: "/tmp/test.img?offset=1024".
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs programs will now accept blocksizes up to 65536; kernel
|
|
support on the x86 doesn't exist for now, but it can be useful on
|
|
other architectures with page sizes greater than 4k. There are 2.6
|
|
kernel patches out there which enable this, but they are of this
|
|
writing still experimental.
|
|
|
|
The e2image command now takes the -s option which will scramble
|
|
directory entries for raw image files.
|
|
|
|
Fix a file descriptor leak in the filefrag program.
|
|
|
|
Make sure e2fsck doesn't crash when /proc/acpi/ac_adapter is not
|
|
present.
|
|
|
|
Fix bug in debugfs where kill_file would lead to errors when deleting
|
|
devices and symlinks. (Sourceforge Bugs #954741 and #957244)
|
|

|
Fix bug in the blkid library when detecting the ocfs1 filesystem
|
|
|
|
Remove obsolete EVMS 1.x and a.out DLL support.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will attempt to recover from a journal containing illegal blocks.
|
|
|
|
Fixed two potential ordering constraint problems in e2fsck which might
|
|
cause the filesystem to be corrupted if e2fsck is interrupted during a
|
|
(extremely narrow) race window. Thanks to Junfeng Yang from the
|
|
Stanford Metacompilation group for pointing this out.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in e2fsck where it would not accurately detect whether or
|
|
not the system is running on adaptor if the ACPI device representing
|
|
the AC adapter didn't correspond to the what was used on IBM
|
|
Thinkpads.
|
|
|
|
Change e2fsck to accept directories greater than 32MB.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck so that a checkinterval of zero disables a time-based check
|
|
of the filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs will check the DEBUGFS_PAGER enviroment variable in preference
|
|
to the PAGER environment variable. (Addresses Debian Bug #239547)
|
|
|
|
Tune2fs will not mark rewrite the superblock if the feature bitmasks
|
|
are not modified.
|
|
|
|
The debugfs program will set the filetype information when creating a
|
|
link.
|
|
|
|
Add debugfs -d option to use a separate source of data blocks when
|
|
reading from an e2image file.
|
|
|
|
Add e2image -I option which allows the e2image metadata to be
|
|
installed into a filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in the badblocks program which caused "done" to always
|
|
appear in english even when a translation was available. (Addresses
|
|
Debian Bug #252836)
|
|
|
|
The blkid program has a new option -o which controls the output format
|
|
of the blkid program; this is makes blkid more convenient to use in
|
|
shell scripts.
|
|
|
|
Fix a minor bug in uuid library, which was not using the full 14 bits
|
|
of clock sequence when generating UUID's.
|
|
|
|
Fix a Y8.8888K problem in the uuid library.
|
|
|
|
Logsave now creates a new session id for itself to avoid getting
|
|
killed by init whan transitioning between init levels.
|
|
|
|
Change the licensing of the UUID library to be the 3-clause BSD-style
|
|
license; this allows Apple to use the uuid library in Darwin.
|
|
|
|
Add ocfs and ocfs2 probe support into the blkid library.
|
|
|
|
Fix a memory and file descriptor leak in the blkid library.
|
|
|
|
The blkid library will revalidate the device if the system time is
|
|
earlier than last verification time of the device, since that
|
|
indicates that the system time is probably nottrustworthy.
|
|
|
|
The blkid library will override the default location of the blkid.tab
|
|
file by the BLKID_FILE environment variable, if it is available.
|
|
|
|
Change the getsize functions to use the BLKGETSIZE64 ioctl on Linux 2.6.
|
|
|
|
Add various portability fixes for lame new versions of glibc, Darwin
|
|
and GNU/KFreeBSD, as well as removing XSI:ism's. (Addresses Debian
|
|
Bugs #239934, #264630, #269044, #255589, #289133)
|
|
|
|
Add support for Windows 9x/NT under Cygwin.
|
|
|
|
Updated and clarified various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs #236383,
|
|
#241940, #238741, #242995, #256669, #268148, #256760, #273679)
|
|
|
|
Updated and fixed translations. (Addresses Debian bugs #244105, #262836)
|
|
|
|
Update the rpm spec files so that it works better with Fedora core 2
|
|
and RH9.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues (see debian/changelog). In
|
|
particular, fixed the Debian initrd scripts. (#241183, #248050,
|
|
#253595, #247775)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fixed various gcc -Wall warnings.
|
|
|
|
The uuid library now has new functions uuid_unparse_upper() and
|
|
uuid_unparse_lower() which forces the case of the hex digits to be
|
|
upper case, or lower case.
|
|
|
|
The build process has been speeded up by enhancing the subst program
|
|
to update the modtime on the generated files even when the generated
|
|
file hasn't changed.
|
|
|
|
The uuid library now uses C99 stdint.h types instead of custom types.
|
|
|
|
Updated config.guess and config.sub with newer versions from the FSF.
|
|
|
|
Removed out of date .cvsignore files from the source distribution.
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_unlink() function will return an error if both the name and
|
|
inode number are unspecified, to avoid doing something surprising
|
|
(such as unconditionally deleting the first directory entry).
|
|
Directory entries are now deleted by coalescing them with the previous
|
|
directory entry if possible, to avoid directory fragmentation. This
|
|
is not an issue with the e2fsprogs suite, but may be a problem for
|
|
some of the users of libext2fs, such as e2tools.
|
|
|
|
Add support for version numbers of the form "1.36-rc1".
|
|
|
|
Fix build of mke2fs.static.
|
|
|
|
Add basic ext2fs library support for large (EA in inode) inodes.
|
|
|
|
The test_io mechanism can now abort after n reads or writes to a
|
|
particular block. The block is specified by TEST_IO_BLOCK environment
|
|
variable, and the read/write count by the TEST_IO_READ_ABORT and
|
|
TEST_IO_WRITE_ABORT environment variables. The block data is now only
|
|
dumped if the 0x10 bit is set in TEST_IO_FLAGS.
|
|
|
|
UUID_DEFINE() in the uuid library now creates a static variable, with
|
|
__attribute__ ((unused)) if we are using GCC, so that UUID_DEFINE can
|
|
be used in header files.
|
|
|
|
Add support for the install-strip and install-shlibs-strip targets, as
|
|
suggested by the GNU coding guielines. "make install" no longer
|
|
strips the binaries which are installed.
|
|
|
|
Remove support for the --enable-old-bitops configure option which was
|
|
only for very old sparc systems.
|
|
|
|
Remove support for --enable-clear-htree; this was only needed during
|
|
the early development of the htree patch.
|
|
|
|
Use Linux-kernel-style makefile output so it is easier to see compiler
|
|
warnings.
|
|
|
|
Update gettext files to version 0.14.1.
|
|
|
|
Update to use autoconf 2.5x.
|
|
|
|
Improved support for compiling e2fsprogs under dietlibc.
|
|
|
|
Make e2fsprogs portable to Solaris and FreeBSD systems.
|
|
|
|
Add blkid_verify(), blkid_get_library_version(), and
|
|
blkid_parse_version_string() functions to the blkid library.
|
|
|
|
Add pkg-config files for e2fsprogs's libraries.
|
|
|
|
Fix "make uninstall" to so that it removes everything that is installed.
|
|
|
|
Add a configure --enable-maintainer-mode option which enables the
|
|
makefile rules to rebuild the configure script from configure.in, and
|
|
to reubuild the .gmo files in po directory.
|
|
|
|
Drop the sparc assembly bitwise operations; it's less efficient
|
|
than the GCC 3.4 compile code and triggers compiler warnings on
|
|
sparc64. Thanks to Matthias Andree for his analysis and suggestions.
|

|
E2fsprogs 1.35 (February 28, 2004)
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
E2fsck has a new -k option, which in conjunction with the -c options,
|
|
preserves the existing badblocks list.
|
|
|
|
Cleaned up e2fsck's preen-mode messages during the passes 1b, 1c, and 1d.
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs will now deal correctly with symlinks that contain
|
|
extended attribute information, which can be created using SE Linux.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug #232328)
|
|
|
|
Remove a double longjump into an invalid stack frame bug in e2fsck.
|
|
(This was during an abort sequence, which normally worked on Linux and
|
|
caused a core dump on other operating systems.)
|
|
|
|
Fix NLS bug in e2fsck, by avoiding trying to expand an empty string
|
|
(the NLS library will replace "" with the .po header information).
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in mke2fs which caused -T largefile or -T largefile4 to core
|
|
dump due to a division by zero error. (Addresses Debian bug #207082)
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused it to incorrectly fix a filesystem
|
|
when reconnecting a directory requires creating a lost+found
|
|
directory. (Addresses Debian bug #219640).
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug where e2fsck would bomb out if a journal needed to be
|
|
replayed when using an alternate superblock.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will give an extra grace period before actually forcing a check
|
|
if the laptop is running on battery. The next time fsck runs while
|
|
the system is on the AC mains, or after the grace period is exceeded,
|
|
the filesystem will be checked. (Addresses Debian bug #205177)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will inform the user when there are 5 or fewer mounts before a
|
|
filesystem check will be forced. (Addresses Debian bug #157194)
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck's handling of corrupted indirect blocks in the bad block.
|
|
We now correctly handle the case where there is an overlap between a
|
|
block group descriptor or a superblock and a bad block indirect block.
|
|
In the case where the indirect block is corrupted, we now suggest
|
|
"e2fsck -c".
|
|
|
|
Fix byte swap bugs in e2fsck that caused the journal backup location
|
|
in the superblock and symlinks created by SE Linux to be cleared
|
|
by e2fsck on big-endian machines. (Addresses Debian bug #228723)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck -c now replaces the current list of bad blocks with the ones
|
|
found by badblocks.
|
|
|
|
Fix bugs in e2fsck and tune2fs which could cause a core dump if a
|
|
non-existent LABEL or UUID specifier is to e2fsck or tune2fs.
|
|
|
|
Fix a potential bug in e2fsck which could cause it to core dump when
|
|
trying to print the location of the backup superblock.
|
|
|
|
Protect against a potential core dump in e2fsck when printing a
|
|
message about backup superblocks.
|
|
|
|
Add support for backing up the journal inode location in the
|
|
superblock. E2fsck will automatically save the journal information in
|
|
the superblock if it is not there already, and will use it if the
|
|
journal inode appears to be corrupted. ext2fs_add_journal_inode()
|
|
will also save the backup information, so that new filesystems created
|
|
by mke2fs and filesystems that have journals added via tune2fs will
|
|
also have journal location written to the superblock as well.
|
|
Debugfs's logdump command has been enhanced so that it can use the
|
|
journal information in the superblock.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now update all superblocks when moving the journal inode.
|
|
|
|
Shrink the size of the e2fsck executable by moving some initialized
|
|
variables to the BSS segment.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will avoid printing the ^A and ^B characters which bracket the
|
|
progress bar when stdout and stdin are a tty device instead of a pipe
|
|
to another program. (Addresses Debian bug #204137)
|
|
|
|
Debugfs's mkdir command will automatically expand the directory if
|
|
necessary. (Addresses Debian Bug: #217892)
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in debugfs so that copying a file from /dev/null uses the
|
|
correct mode bits. (Addresses Debian Bug: #217456)
|
|
|
|
If the environment variables DEBUFS_PAGER and PAGER are not set,
|
|
debugfs now searches for the appropriate pager to use, beginning with
|
|
/usr/bin/pager, and then falling back to 'more' and 'less'.
|
|
(Addresses Debian bug #221977)
|
|
|
|
Debugfs will now support 2.6 device numbers where the major or minor
|
|
number may be larger than 255. (Addresses Sourceforge bug #865289)
|
|
|
|
Fix debugging printf in resize2fs. (Addresses Debian Bug #271605)
|
|
|
|
Chattr now stops processing options when it sees '--'. (Addresses
|
|
Debian bug #225188)
|
|
|
|
Fix regression tests so they work correctly when e2fsprogs is compiled
|
|
with configure --disable-htree.
|
|
|
|
Fix bug in uuid library when there is no network card and the library
|
|
is generating a time-based uuid. The random MAC address was not
|
|
correctly generated to be a multicast address.
|
|
|
|
Add compile_et extensions from Heimdall that were missed the first time
|
|
around.
|
|
|
|
Fix bug in badblocks when using O_DIRECT; we need to make sure that
|
|
we're reading from an offset which is page aligned. For read-only and
|
|
read-write tests, we try to recover after an error so that we can
|
|
continue reading on page-aligned boundaries. (Addresses Debian Bug
|
|
#203713)
|
|
|
|
Badblocks now checks 64 blocks at a time instead of 16. (Addresses
|
|
Debian bug #232240)
|
|
|
|
Updated and clarified various man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug
|
|
#206845, #222606, #214920, #232406)
|
|
|
|
Updated and fixed translations. (Addresses Debian bugs #200086, #214633)
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues (see debian/changelog).
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fixed a build problem so that e2fsprogs would compile with the
|
|
--enable-profile option to configure selected. (Addresses Sourceforge
|
|
bug #811408)
|
|
|
|
Fixed C++ problems with the ext2fs.h header. (Addresses Red Hat
|
|
Bugzilla Bug #112448)
|
|
|
|
Centralize code which calculates the location of the superblock
|
|
and block group descriptors so that it is in a single library routine.
|
|
|
|
Added two new functions, ext2fs_file_open2() and
|
|
ext2fs_inode_io_intern2() which take a pointer to an inode structure.
|
|
|
|
Fix compile_et to output the correct prototype for
|
|
initialize_xxx_err_table_r() in the header file. (Addresses Debian
|
|
bug #204332)
|
|
|
|
In the lib/et makefile, make sure com_err.info is deleted on "make clean".
|
|
|
|
Fix 64-bit warnings in e2fsprogs pass1b by using inttypes.h if
|
|
present. This is for when we try stuffing an int into void * pointer.
|
|
|
|
Fix type-punning which can cause gcc 3.x to miscompile code by getting
|
|
confused about pointer aliasing. ext2fs_getmem(), ext2fs_free_mem(),
|
|
and ext2fs_resize_mem() all now take a 'void *' instead of a 'void
|
|
**'. The EVMS code uses an ugly union approach since we don't want to
|
|
modify the EVMS interfaces.
|
|
|
|
Make sure all Makefiles use $(MAKE) rather than hardcoded "make", to
|
|
aid build process on systems can use invoke GNU make as "gmake".
|
|
|
|
Added regression testing for mke2fs.
|
|
|
|
Fixed gcc -Wall nitpicks.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various compiler warnings.
|
|
|
|
Add portability fixes for FreeBSD and for using fsctl under Darwin to
|
|
support ext2 ioctl's.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.34 (July 25, 2003)
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug introduced in E2fsprogs 1.30 which caused fsck to spin in
|
|
a tight loop while waiting for a child fsck to exit in some cases.
|
|
This burns CPU times which slows down the low-level filesystem check.
|
|
|
|
Added code to mke2fs to assure that the default block size for a
|
|
filesystem is at least as big as the sector size of the device, if it
|
|
can be determined.
|
|
|
|
Changed mke2fs and resize2fs to round the default size of a filesystem
|
|
to be an even multiple of the VM pagesize in order to avoid a Linux
|
|
kernel bug introduced when the storage of the buffer cache was moved
|
|
into the page cache.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will warn the user when creating a filesystem with journaling
|
|
and a blocksize greater than 4096. (Addresses Debian bug #193773)
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in resize2fs which caused it to fail on filesystems with a
|
|
non-empty bad block list. Resize2fs now discards any blocks on the
|
|
badblock list which are no longer part of the filesystem as the result
|
|
of a filesystem shrink. (Note: this means that shrinking and then
|
|
enlarging a filesystem is no longer a reversible operation;
|
|
information about bad blocks in the part of the filesystem which is to
|
|
be chopped off will be lost.)
|
|
|
|
Changed resize2fs so the user can use prefixes to specify the units of
|
|
the new filesystem size (sectors, kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes),
|
|
and to make the error and informational messages explicitly display
|
|
the blocksize used by the filesystem, in order to avoid confusion.
|
|
(Addresses Debian bug: #189814)
|
|
|
|
Added a new debugfs command, dump_unused, which dumps the contents of
|
|
all unused blocks to stdout. (Useful as an emergency try-to-find
|
|
deleted data command.)
|
|
|
|
Added a new debugfs command, imap, which prints the location of a
|
|
specified inode in the inode table.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in the badblocks program which caused it to use one bit of
|
|
randomness in its non-destructive read/write test, instead of using a
|
|
full 8 bits of randomness.
|
|
|
|
Added a new option (-t) to badblocks, which allows the user to control
|
|
the test pattern(s) used when checking a disk.
|
|
|
|
The blkid probe function now more correctly detects UDF filesystems.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in the blkid library which caused it to not update its
|
|
cache if a filesystem changes from having a label to not having a
|
|
label.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in the blkid library wihch could avoid an infinite loop
|
|
in blkid_find_dev_with_tag() if /proc is not mounted and there the
|
|
/etc/blkid.tab file has not yet been created.
|
|
|
|
Fixed the badblocks program so that the destructive read/write test
|
|
honors the -c option, and to use O_DIRECT when possible to avoid
|
|
thrashing the system block buffer cache.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various NLS issues.
|
|
- Added Czech and Swedish translations
|
|
- Removed testing NYC translation
|
|
- Fixed NLS support for message abbrevations in e2fsck
|
|
- Remove de-utf.po, since we shouldn't have two versions using different
|
|
charset encodings.
|
|
- Used ngettext() (abbreivated with the macro P_(str1, str2, n)) to
|
|
simplify the statistics reporting in e2fsck.
|
|
|
|
Changed configure.in so that its defaults for *BSD systems no longer
|
|
build an fsck wrapper, and not to install in /usr/local by default.
|
|
|
|
Fixed some minor spelling errors/typo's in e2fsck and the configure
|
|
script.
|
|
|
|
Fixed various Debian packaging issues (see debian/changelog).
|
|
|
|
Updated and clarified man pages. (Addresses Debian Bug #195616)
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix gcc -Wall nitpicks.
|
|
|
|
Updated gettext implementation used by e2fsprogs to 0.11.5, and enable
|
|
NLS support by default. (Added partial workaround for gettext/Darwin
|
|
incompatibility problems.)
|
|
|
|
Added full MIT KRB5 and Himdall compaibility support to the com_err
|
|
library and the compile_et program. (Addresses Debian bug #191900)
|
|
|
|
Added the blkid_known_fstype() function to the blkid library, which
|
|
returns true if it is passed a filesystem type which is recognized by
|
|
the blkid probing functions.
|
|
|
|
Improved the documentation for the blkid library.
|
|
|
|
Added the ext2fs_get_device_sectsize() function the the ext2fs library, which
|
|
returns the hardware sector size of a device, if it is available.
|
|
|
|
Added a dependency in the blkid library's .so file to the uuid
|
|
library, since the former uses the latter. (Addresses Debian bug
|
|
#194094)
|
|
|
|
Added --with-diet-libc and --disable-evms to the configure script.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a minor memory leak in the badblocks program.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a portability problem in tune2fs --- not all systems have strptime().
|
|
|
|
Fixed a portability problem in debugfs with the use of getopt() more
|
|
than once. Old-style BSD, new-style BSD, and Linux C libraries all do
|
|
things differently.
|
|
|
|
Add support Windows support to ext2fs_get_device_size().
|
|
|
|
Added (normally disabled) debugging code to the Unix I/O manager which
|
|
causes it to disable all userspace caching if the NO_IO_CACHE is
|
|
defined.
|
|
|
|
Changed the test I/O manager so it can always be linked into e2fsck,
|
|
mke2fs, and tune2fs if enabled via --enable-test-io-debug to the
|
|
configure script. The test I/O manager will only print any debugging
|
|
information if the TEST_IO_FLAGS or TEST_IO_BLOCK environment
|
|
variables are set, which specifies which I/O operations are logged and
|
|
a block number to watch, respectively. The log messages are sent to
|
|
stderr by default, unless a filename is specified via the
|
|
TEST_IO_LOGFILE environment variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.33 (April 21, 2003)
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
Added a new utility program, logsave, which captures 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). This is useful for capturing the
|
|
output of fsck during the boot sequence.
|
|
|
|
Fixed some portability problems that were causing problems under
|
|
the Cygwin32 environment.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now interprets a negative number to the -b option as a minimum
|
|
block size.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in mke2fs which was incorrectly checking the argument to
|
|
the -g option if the default block size was used. (Addresses Debian
|
|
bug #188319)
|
|
|
|
Fsck now explicitly ignores tmpfs and devpts, and it will complain if
|
|
it can not find filesystem checkers for jfs, reseirfs, and xfs.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now updates the global free block and inode counters from the
|
|
block group specific counters quietly. This is needed for an
|
|
experimental patch which eliminates locking the entire filesystem when
|
|
allocating blocks or inodes; if the filesystem is not unmounted
|
|
cleanly, the global counts may not be accurate.
|
|
|
|
Imported bug fixes to the EVMS plugin from the EVMS 2.0 tree. (EVMS
|
|
2.0 is not yet supported; this only pulled in the bug fixes: fixed
|
|
possible hangs caused by bugs in calling waitpid, and not setting the
|
|
pipe to non-blocking mode; also fixed a file descriptor leak; made
|
|
sure all functions call log entry/exit functions.)
|
|
|
|
Badblocks now flushes its output file as bad blocks are discovered.
|
|
|
|
The uuid library is now more paranoid about assuming the correctness
|
|
of the /dev/random device; it mixes in a stream of bytes from
|
|
random/srandom, just in case.
|
|
|
|
Update Debian files to reflect the fact that I am now the Debian
|
|
maintainer of e2fsprogs. Other various Debian-specific packaging
|
|
cleanups.
|
|
|
|
Move the source tarball generation functions from the top-level
|
|
makefile to the util/gen-tarball script.
|
|
|
|
Updated the Turkish .po translation file.
|
|
|
|
Added Heimdal and MIT krb5 extensions to the com_err library to make
|
|
it more compatible with com_err libraries from those distributions.
|
|
|
|
Changed dumpe2fs to always display the superblock fields relating to
|
|
the journalling and/or directory indexing feature even if those
|
|
features are not enabled.
|
|
|
|
Updated and clarify copyright statement vis-a-vis alpha releases of
|
|
e2fsprogs.
|
|
|
|
The ss library will now try to dynamically link to the readline
|
|
library and use it if it is present in the system. This means that
|
|
the debugfs program now has line editing and history features. The
|
|
SS_READLINE_PATH environment variable is used to find a readline or
|
|
readline-compatible library.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now finds most duplicate filenames (all when rebuilding all
|
|
directories via the -D option) and offers to delete or rename
|
|
duplicate filenames/directory entries. (Addresses Debian Bug #176814).
|
|
|
|
Fix bug in e2image. When writing out a raw image file, include data
|
|
blocks from symlinks that do not store the symlink within the inode.
|
|
|
|
Fix bug in resize2fs which incorrectly moved the block and inode
|
|
bitmaps for sparse superblock filesystems and incorrectly marked
|
|
blocks as in use. (Addresses Debian bug #174766)
|
|
|
|
Added a new shared library, the blkid library, which efficiently
|
|
allows fsck, mke2fs, e2fsck, and tune2fs to be able to look up LABEL
|
|
and UUID filesystem specifiers without needing to search all of the
|
|
devices in the system. Instead, the device is looked up in a cache
|
|
file, and then verified to make sure the blkid cache is correct.
|
|
|
|
Tune2fs and e2label will accept LABEL=xxx and UID=yyy specifiers for
|
|
the device name, using the blkid library. (Addresses Debian bugs
|
|
#166048, #179671)
|
|
|
|
Fsck now supports backslash escapes in /etc/fstab so that \040 can be
|
|
used for spaces in device labels.
|
|
|
|
Removed 32-bit limitations for debugfs's dump command.
|
|
|
|
If the user specifies a large number of inodes, Mke2fs will
|
|
automatically adjust the number of blocks per group to find a valid
|
|
set of filesystem parameters.
|
|
|
|
Add workaround to detect broken MD devices where when some of the
|
|
underlying devices are marked read-only, writes to the MD device are
|
|
silently dropped. E2fsck will detect if there is an attempt to run
|
|
the journal twice, and abort with an error if this is the case.
|
|
(Addresses IBM Bugzilla bug #1226)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will print an error if more than one of the -p/-a, -n or -y
|
|
options are specified.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will fix HTREE corruptions in preen mode, without stopping the
|
|
boot process. This is needed because the 2.4 ext2 filesystem
|
|
accidentally had the INDEX_FL backwards compatibility code removed.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs no longer creates filesystems with the dir_index flag set by
|
|
default; the user has to specifically request it.
|
|
|
|
Update and clarified various man pages. (Addresses Debian bugs
|
|
#173612, #175233, #175113, and #170497, #185945, #188318)
|
|
|
|
Created man page for the mk_cmds program (from the libss library).
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix various gcc -Wall nits.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a lot of portability problems that caused e2fsprogs not to build
|
|
successfully under Solaris and Apple/Darwin.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a Makefile dependency to allow building e2fsprogs using parallel
|
|
make jobs.
|
|
|
|
Changes to create a subset distribution which consists only of the
|
|
et, ss, uuid, and blkid libraries. The configure script and top-level
|
|
makefile were changed to support working with a subset distribution.
|
|
|
|
Removed EXT2_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_BTREE_DIR mention of since it's not
|
|
actually used, and might people who are looking for
|
|
EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_DIR_INDEX, which is in use.
|
|
|
|
Updated debian files to fix a number of Lintian warnings.
|
|
|
|
Updated config.guess and config.sub with newer versions from the FSF.
|
|
|
|
Removed unnecessary libraries from being linked into the fsck, lsattr,
|
|
chattr, and blkid executables.
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.32 (Nomvember 9, 2002)
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in the Unix I/O routines which caused needless writebacks
|
|
of clean blocks from the unix_io cache (they were erroneously marked
|
|
as being dirty, so they were getting written back to disk before
|
|
getting evicted from the disk cache). This was harmless, but it
|
|
significantly slowed down e2fsck.
|
|
|
|
Made some other minor optimizations to the Unix I/O routines to save a
|
|
small amount of CPU time.
|
|
|
|
Updated internationalization files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.31 (Nomvember 8, 2002)
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
Update EVMS ext2fsim plugin with EVMS 1.2. (We still support
|
|
compiling the fsim plugin with EVMS 1.0 and 1.1.) Add better error
|
|
handling for child process that die unexpectly. Add a hack to force
|
|
mkfs to create filesystems that won't cause problems with hardware
|
|
that has 2k or 4k minimum blocksize requirements. Read from child
|
|
processes in non-blocking mode, so that the GUI continues to update.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck so that it returns the appropriate exit code when the root
|
|
filesystem has been changed, so that system's rc scripts will be told that
|
|
the system needs to be rebooted.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in ext2fs_flush/ext2fs_close; when the MASTER_SB_ONLY flag
|
|
was set, some of the descriptor blocks that should have been written
|
|
out were getting skipped.
|
|
|
|
Changed e2fsck to force out changes to the backup copies of the
|
|
superblock and block group descriptors when important changes are made
|
|
to those data structures.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug where e2fsck could erroneously mark a filesystem as being
|
|
clean if a check of dirty filesystem is interrupted with a ^C. (Bug
|
|
introduced in e2fsprogs 1.28.)
|
|
|
|
If journal debuging is enabled using --enable-jbd-debug, the debugging
|
|
level is now set via the E2FSCK_JBD_DEBUG environment variable.
|
|
|
|
If byteswapping support is disabled using configure --disable-swapfs,
|
|
skip the tests which depend on byte-swapping, so that "make check"
|
|
won't bomb out.
|
|
|
|
Lshattr will now display the indexed directory flag. Also, some of
|
|
the more esoteric compression flags are supressed unless compression
|
|
support has been enabled.
|
|
|
|
Update man pages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.30 (October 31, 2002)
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
When resizing a filesystem, and inodes need to moved, resize2fs will
|
|
update the inode's ctime field, and the mtime field of the containing
|
|
directories, so that incremental backups using dump/restore will work
|
|
correctly.
|
|
|
|
In order to avoid spurious errors, e2fsck wil check the last
|
|
superblock write time to determine whether or not it can safely use
|
|
the LOW_DTIME checks to determine if there are inodes on the orphan
|
|
inode linked list that had somehow gotten disconnected. (Addresses
|
|
Sourceforge bug #620980)
|
|
|
|
Partition in /proc/partitions that being with the string "lvm" are
|
|
considered real partitions even if they do not end with a number.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in the the uuid generation function, where if /dev/urandom
|
|
is not present, but /dev/random is, and there isn't sufficient
|
|
entropy, the get_random_byte function could spin a loop forever.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck, mke2fs, etc. will now reliably notice when image files are
|
|
mounted using the loopback interface. (Addresses Sourceforge bug
|
|
#619119)
|
|
|
|
When flushing buffers (as is done by badblocks, for example) check to
|
|
see if the BLKFLSBUF ioctl succeeds, and if so, avoid using the
|
|
FDFLUSH ioctl which causes the MD device driver which causes confusing
|
|
syslog messages about obselete ioctl messages. (Addresses Sourceforge
|
|
bug #545832).
|
|
|
|
Debugfs's write command now checks to see if the destination filename
|
|
exists before creating it. (Addresses Sourceforge bug #478195.)
|
|
|
|
When installing man pages, search for compressed man pages using all
|
|
commonly used compression extensions (i.e., .Z, .gz, .bz2, etc.)
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in fsck where multiple filesystems specified on the
|
|
command were not being checked in parallel due to a logic bug
|
|
introduced to support the FSCK_MAX_INST environment variable.
|
|
|
|
We have added a new superblock field, s_mkfs_time, which indicates
|
|
when a filesystem was created. It is set via mke2fs, and printed out
|
|
by dumpe2fs, but is not actually touched by the kernel.
|
|
|
|
Dumpe2fs has been made more robust by not aborting if there is an
|
|
error reading the block/inode bitmaps; instead it will still print out
|
|
the location of the block/inode bitmaps and inode table.
|
|
|
|
Add support for the an alternative block group descriptor layout which
|
|
allows for on-line resizing without needing to prepare the filesystem
|
|
in advance. (This is the incomat feature flag meta_bg.)
|
|
|
|
Add support for storing default mount options in the superblock, so
|
|
that the filesystem can be mounted with specific mount options without
|
|
needing to specify them on the mount command line or in the /etc/fstab
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
Add support for a new inode flag, which is to be used for indicating
|
|
the top of directory hierarchies for the Orlov block allocator.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck so that if it creates the lost+found directory, it does so
|
|
with the more apporpriate permissions of 0700. Also change
|
|
mklost+found so that it also creates the directory 0700.
|
|
|
|
Fixed format bug in e2fsck if NLS is in use.
|
|
|
|
Add a German translation for e2fsprogs's NLS support.
|
|
|
|
Fixed e2fsck so that it more handles BAD_BLOCK_IN_INODE_TABLE even at
|
|
the beginning of the inode table. This won't matter much, since if
|
|
there is a bad block at the beginning of the inode table, the root
|
|
directory won't be available. But at least e2fsck won't crash in this
|
|
case.
|
|
|
|
Fixed endian problems in the htree code for e2fsck and debugfs.
|
|
|
|
When byte-swapping a filesystem on a PPC architecture, byte-swap the
|
|
bitmaps since the historical big-endian ext2 variant had byte-swapped
|
|
bitmaps, and the ext2fs library assumes this. This fixes the
|
|
regression test suite on PPC machines.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2image so that it handles a bad block in the inode table
|
|
appropriately.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now uses a more sophisticated algorithm to salvage corrupted
|
|
directories that recovers more information in the corrupted directory
|
|
block.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now performs additional consistency checks on indexed (HTREE)
|
|
directories.
|
|
|
|
Fix bug where efsck might get confused about whether a completely
|
|
empty directory block is an empty leaf block or an interior htree
|
|
node. This could cause e2fsck to get confused into think that a valid
|
|
indexed directory was corrupted.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck no longer creates an empty directory entry at the end of a
|
|
directory block when optimizing a directory. This would cause some
|
|
earlier versions of the dxdir kernel code to corrupt the directory
|
|
when attempting to split a node containing an empty directory entry.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck could sometimes in rare circumstances leave the indexed flag
|
|
set after a small directory was optimized by compressing it instead of
|
|
indexing it. (This should never happen in real life, since
|
|
directories that small wouldn't have been indexed, but better safe
|
|
than sorry.)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now only updates the master superblock in all cases. This
|
|
slightly shortens its run time.
|
|
|
|
Ext2ed can deal with directory entries of length 0; previously it
|
|
would get stuck in an infinite loop.
|
|
|
|
Fsck now has support for reiserfs volumes when parsing LABEL= and UUID=
|
|
specifiers. (Sourceforge patch #613447)
|
|
|
|
Badblocks will now work correctly on read-only devices such as
|
|
CD-ROM's. (Sourceforge patch #600451)
|
|
|
|
Updated and clarified man pages. (Addresses Debian bug #167108)
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.29 (September 24, 2002)
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could corrupt a directory when optimizing
|
|
it (via the -D option) or rebuiliding the hash tree index with a 1 in
|
|
512 probability, due to a fence post error.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in the LVM support code which caused LABEL='xxx' not to
|
|
work correctly.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now enables the directory indexing flag by default. (Since
|
|
this is a compatible feature flag, it's safe to do so.)
|
|
|
|
Tune2fs will support setting the directory indexing feature flag. It
|
|
will automatically set up the default hash algorithm and hash seed
|
|
fields in the superblock.
|
|
|
|
If the bone-headed user enters the root filesystem twice in
|
|
/etc/fstab, 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!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Removed perror declaration in lib/et/internal.h. All modern systems
|
|
can be expected to define perror() these days. Besides, the lib/et
|
|
code wasn't using perror at all anyway. :-)
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.28 (August 31, 2002)
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Add support for the Hashed-Tree Directory Indexing to e2fsck. Support
|
|
for setting the htree flag is not included yet, although it can be
|
|
manually turned on via the debugfs program.
|
|
|
|
Clarified e2fsck error message which is printed when it cannot find
|
|
sufficient contiguous block when relcating filesystem metadata.
|
|
|
|
Added support for building an EVMS plugin module for ext2/3. This
|
|
module is substantially the same as the EVMS module shipping with EVMS
|
|
1.1, with one or two bugfixes. E2fsprogs can also build this plugin
|
|
for use with EVMS 1.0 (which did not include the ext2 plugin module),
|
|
if the configure --enable-old-evms flag is given.
|
|
|
|
Fsck will search through EVMS volumes when trying to resolve
|
|
filesystem specifications such as LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx.
|
|
|
|
Added a new utility program, /sbin/findfs, which will return
|
|
filesystem specifications such as LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx, and prints
|
|
the device name.
|
|
|
|
Update and clarified various man pages. (addresses Debian Bug #145044,
|
|
#146437, #131350, #151990, #144621, #141938)
|
|
|
|
If there are no filesystems specified on fsck's command line, fsck now
|
|
treat that as if the -As options were given. Previously it would
|
|
simply do nothing. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102)
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs no longer treats a failure to be able to clear the MD signature
|
|
at the end of the filesystem as a fatal error. (Addresses Debian Bug
|
|
#155007)
|
|
|
|
The e2p library functions (which are used by lsattr and chattr) now
|
|
double check to make sure the file is a regular file or directory
|
|
before attempting to use the ext2 ioctls. Some device drivers
|
|
unfortunately respond to the ext2 ioctl's with unknown behaviour.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug #152029).
|
|
|
|
The extended attribute handling has been updated to correspond with
|
|
the latest V2 bestbits ACL code.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in e2fsck which caused it to not clear the dtime field when
|
|
processing truncated inodes on the orphan list. This could cause data
|
|
loss(!) if a filesystem is rebooted before a truncate has been
|
|
committed.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now uses red/black trees in pass1b, which removes some O(n**2)
|
|
algorithms. This makes e2fsck much faster in the case of severely
|
|
corrupted filesystems where a large number of blocks are claimed by a
|
|
large number of inodes. (Thanks to the 2.5 IDE device driver for
|
|
inspiring this work.)
|
|
|
|
Resize2fs has been significantly sped up when shrinking and expanding
|
|
a filesystem by a very small number of blocks (for example, when EVMS
|
|
is converting a partition to be an EVMS legacy volume).
|
|
|
|
Added a new option to e2fsck, -D, which will optimize or compress all
|
|
of the directories in the filesystem.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now catches SIGINT and SIGTERM to make sure it will can
|
|
properly clean up and only exit at safe points. Fsck will pass
|
|
SIGINT/SIGTERM to its child processes, and wait until they have all
|
|
exited before it exits.
|
|
|
|
The uuid parsing code in the uuid library now properly complains when
|
|
an illegally formated uuid is presented to it. (Addresses Debian bug
|
|
#152891)
|
|
|
|
Restrict use of the 2.4 setrlimit ABI f*ckup to kernels between 2.4.10
|
|
and 2.4.17, since the workaround can cause problems when using a 2.4
|
|
kernel with an old version of glibc built with the 2.2 headers.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in mke2fs where it wasn't properly clearing the initial
|
|
superblock used by other filesystems. (Addresses Debian bug #147256.)
|
|
|
|
Added support for the synchronous directory feature written by Andrew
|
|
Morton.
|
|
|
|
The debugfs program can delete directories using the rmdir command.
|
|
|
|
Add support for 8k and 16k filesystems (for systems with page sizes
|
|
that are greater or equal to 8k or 16k, respectively). Note that
|
|
these filesystems can not be mounted on x86 systems, or other systems
|
|
with only 4k page sizes, due to limitations in the current Linux VM
|
|
code.
|
|
|
|
Resize2fs requires that the filesystem state be valid and have no
|
|
errors; otherwise, e2fsck -f must be run first. (Previously it simply
|
|
required that the last fsck time be greater than the last mount time.)
|
|
|
|
Configure now defaults the man pages directory to /usr/share/man on
|
|
Linux systems.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now offers to truncate inodes which contain too many blocks (so
|
|
that i_blocks would overflow. Also fixed handling of large sparse
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now more completely checks for symlink validity, including
|
|
requiring NULL termination and length checks.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will offer to try forcing a disk write to remap a bad block
|
|
after finding a read error when reading a filesystem metadata block.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in debugfs which caused the -b and -s options to crash
|
|
debugfs, as well as breaking the testb, setb, and clearb functions.
|
|
|
|
Added a bmap command to debugfs which calculates the logical to
|
|
physical block mapping for a particular inode.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in code which checked to see if a device was mounted which
|
|
sometimes (rarely) failed in the case of a plain file.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in resize2fs where when it reported an error, it would
|
|
print a message erroneously indicating that the filesystem had been
|
|
resized before it aborted.
|
|
|
|
When resizing a plain file which is smaller than the requested size,
|
|
resize2fs will attempt to extended the file so that programs like
|
|
e2fsck will not complain that the file is too small.
|
|
|
|
Resize2fs will print the actual new size of the filesystem when it is
|
|
finished resizing.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in debugfs where "ls -l" would report incorrectl file type
|
|
information on big-endian systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fixed collisions with C++ reserved words.
|
|
|
|
Added portability fixes for building e2fsprogs on the HURD and AIX.
|
|
|
|
Added the ext2ed program for creation of test cases. (ext2ed has many
|
|
limitations and bugs which make it unsuitable for production use.)
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_read_dir_block2 and ext2fs_write_dir_block now take a new
|
|
flag, EXT2_DIRBLOCK_V2_STRUCT, which will will reverse when the
|
|
name_len field is byte swampped on big-endian machines, since in the
|
|
V2 structure, name_len is a char field which is doesn't need to be
|
|
byte swapped --- except if an old-style kernel had byte-swapped the
|
|
name_len field as part of the V1 structure.

E2fsprogs 1.27 (March 8, 2002)
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
The warning messages for mke2fs now go to standard error.
|
|
|
|
Fixed to make sure "make check" runs all of the test programs with
|
|
LD_LIBRARY_PATH set, so that we test the libraries in the build tree.
|
|
|
|
The mke2fs program checks the boot sector for the BSD disk label, and
|
|
avoids erasing it if it is there.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused it to core dump if the journal
|
|
inode was missing when it was supposed to be there.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now prints ranges in pass 5 when printing deltas for the block
|
|
and inode bitmaps.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs's "ls -l" command now will print out the file type information
|
|
in the directory entry.
|
|
|
|
Create man pages and hard links for fsck.ext3 and mkfs.ext3. If
|
|
mke2fs is invoked as mkfs.ext3, create the filesystem with a journal.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs can now examine the experimental directory indexing
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in debugfs which caused it to core dump if modify_inode is
|
|
called without an open filesystem.
|
|
|
|
The debugfs lsdel command now runs its output through a pager first.
|
|
|
|
When installing manual pages, remove the compressed manual pages first.
|
|
|
|
Synchronized with Debian's packaging information for e2fsprogs-1.26-1.
|
|
|
|
Fix the 2.4 resource limitation workaround introduced in 1.26 which
|
|
actually broke things on mips32, sparc32, and Alpha platforms.
|
|
|
|
Updated the I18N code so that calls to setlocate(LC_CTYPE, 0) are made
|
|
(which is required by the newer libintl libraries).
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fixed various gcc -Wall complaints.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a few memory leaks in the e2fsck journaling code, and in the
|
|
ismounted code checking for a swap device.
|
|
|
|
Add new inode I/O abstraction interface which exports an inode as
|
|
an I/O object.
|
|
|
|
Exported ext2_file_flush as a public interface.
|
|
|
|
In ext2_file_write, we now mark the buffer void * argument as a const, since ext2_file_write doesn't modify the buffer.
|
|
|
|
Lots of small random portability fixes to make e2fsprogs build under
|
|
AIX --- even without the 5L compatibility toolkit, and even using the
|
|
uber-crippled AIX native C compiler.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.26 (February 3, 2002)
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
Dumpe2fs will keep going now if the bad block inode can't be read.
|
|
(Previously it stopped with a fatal error.)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now give an opportunity to run the journal even if the
|
|
recovery flag is not set. This is the default behaviour if e2fsck is
|
|
using a backup superblock, since the needs_recovery flag will never be
|
|
set in the backup superblock copies.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now automatically finds the backup superblock/group descriptors
|
|
even when the primary superblock is completely destroyed for 2k and 4k
|
|
filesystems. (Previously it just guessed/assumed that we were dealing
|
|
with a 1k filesystem in that case, and users had to manually specify
|
|
the backup superblock number.)
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in e2fsck where it dereferences a null pointer when there
|
|
is a problem opening a filesystem in preen mode.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now handles external journals correctly; previously it trashed
|
|
the external journal device if the journal needed to be replayed.
|
|
|
|
Work around ulimit incompatibility problem caused by recent 2.4
|
|
kernels; the unix IO module will automatically try to set any resource
|
|
limits to be infinite on startup.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in e2fsck where it wasn't allocating a new block or inode
|
|
bitmap if it wasn't present and the blocksize was 2k or 4k.
|
|
(Addresses Debian Bug #116975)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will check and fix botched ext3 V1 to V2 superblock updates by
|
|
clearing the new V2 fields if they do not make sense or if the ext3
|
|
superblock is version 1 superblock.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will automatically relocate the ext3 journal from a visible
|
|
file (i.e., /.journal) to an hidden inode if the filesystem has been
|
|
opened read/write. This allows the users to add a journal while the
|
|
filesystem is mounted, but the next time the system is rebooted, the
|
|
journal file will disappear. This avoids problems with backups,
|
|
stupid operators with superuser bits, etc.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in fsck where it would not support a filesystem type of
|
|
"auto" if the device was specified in terms of LABEL=xxx or UUID=xxx.
|
|
|
|
Fsck now supports fstab entries of the form "ext3,ext2". It will also
|
|
automatically identify reiserfs filesystems.
|
|
|
|
The number of processes spawned by fsck can now be limited using the
|
|
FSCK_MAX_INST environment variable.
|
|
|
|
Fsck now searchs the LVM proc hierarchy to find logical volumes which
|
|
should be searched for UUID and label information.
|
|
|
|
Work around a bug in 2.4.10+ kernels by trying to unset the filesize
|
|
limit if at all possible, when opening a block device. (The filesize
|
|
limit shouldn't be applied against writes to a block device.)
|
|
|
|
In mke2fs and e2fsck, specifying the -c option twice will now do
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now automatically clears the immutable attribute on a
|
|
pre-existing .journal file left over from a previous failed attempt to
|
|
add a journal to an alreadyy-mounted filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Fixed mke2fs's exit codes to consistently indicate when the mke2fs
|
|
operation failed.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now creates the lost+found directory with permissions of 0700,
|
|
so that files that had previously lived in protected directory are
|
|
safe if they get dropped in lost+found and the system administrator
|
|
doesn't deal with immediately. (Addresses Debian #bug 118443)
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs and e2fsck (and all programs that use the
|
|
ext2fs_check_if_mounted function) will now properly identify that a
|
|
device is mounted, even in cases where devfs has confused things with
|
|
multiple devices names with the same identity, or if a dim-witted
|
|
system administrator has done something stupid like creating device
|
|
file aliases in their home directory. Also now checks for swap devices
|
|
by using /proc/swaps. (Addresses Debian bug #106622)
|
|
|
|
Added a new option (-T) to tune2fs which sets the time a filesystem
|
|
was last checked.
|
|
|
|
Speed up e2image when creating sparse raw image files by optimizing
|
|
away excess lseek() system calls.
|
|
|
|
Fix support of large (> 2GB) files when used as a filesystem in
|
|
mke2fs, tune2fs, debugfs, and findsuper.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs's stat and icheck commands now properly deals with large (>
|
|
2GB) files.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs's set_super_value command now prints out the list of valid
|
|
superblock fields which can be set using the command.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs's rm and kill_file command now updates the superblock free block
|
|
and inode counts, thus keeping the filesystem consistent.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs's lsdel command now takes an optional argument which allows
|
|
the user to only see the most recently deleted files.
|
|
|
|
A new command (undel) was added to debugfs which automates
|
|
undeleting a deleted inode and linking it back to a directory.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs's ls command now takes a new option, -d, which lists
|
|
deleted directory entries.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs's testb, freeb, setb, and find_free_block commands now take an
|
|
optional count argument.
|
|
|
|
Add support for a new ext2 file attribute, EXT2_NOTAIL_FL, which will
|
|
be used to signal that a particular inode should not be eligible for
|
|
tail-merging --- this is needed for programs like LILO.
|
|
|
|
The findsuper (an unreleased, uninstalled utility program) has been
|
|
improved to add extra validity checks and to add a progress meter.
|
|
(It is still an unsupported program; the officially supported way to
|
|
recover from a trashed partition table is to use gpart; findsuper is
|
|
for wizards only. :-)
|
|
|
|
Debugfs was fixed to compile with "configure --disable-swapfs".
|
|
|
|
Cleaned up various manual pages. (Addresses Debian bug #119624, #120171)
|
|
|
|
Added new translation file for Turkish.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix general gcc -Wall complaints.
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs (mostly) works with the dietlibc.
|
|
|
|
The programming texinfo file has been expanded to include description
|
|
of additional libext2fs functions. (Still not compeltely done, but a
|
|
lot of the more important functions have been documented.)
|
|
|
|
Added a umask structure to struct_ext2_filsys, which currently only
|
|
modifies the behaviour of ext2fs_mkdir(), but if we add any file
|
|
creation functions to libext2fs, we should also make sure they respect
|
|
the umask setting.
|
|
|
|
The build-rpm script was fixed to be a bit more safe.
|
|
|
|
The tests' Makefile now has a way of automating test case creation
|
|
for e2fsck, using "make testnew".
|
|
|
|
Created a new function, ext2fs_dir_iterate2 which passes more
|
|
information to the callback function (identical to the one used by
|
|
ext2fs_dblist_dir_iterate). The directory iterator functions take a
|
|
new flag, DIRENT_FLAG_INCLUDE_REMOVED, which will return deleted
|
|
directory entries. If the directory entry is deleted, the callback
|
|
function will be called with the entry paraemter set to
|
|
DIRENT_DELETED_FILE.
|
|
|
|
Added new functions, ext2fs_inode_alloc_stats and
|
|
ext2fs_block_alloc_stats, which takes updates block/inode allocation
|
|
statistics in the bitmaps, block group descriptors, and superblock
|
|
when inodes or blocks are allocated or deallocated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.25 (September 20, 2001)
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
This is primarily a bug-fix release; no new features were added, but
|
|
there are a number of embarassing bug fixes and cleanups applied.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug mke2fs which causes stack garbage to be written to disk when
|
|
zapping disk sectors. (This bug could cause mke2fs to core dump for
|
|
some kernels, I suspect with security enhancement patches.)
|
|
|
|
Remove unneeded #include of <linux/config.h> which was breaking
|
|
building e2fsprogs on the Hurd. (Addresses Debian bug #112414.)
|
|
|
|
Updated tune2fs man page to reflect the fact that adding or removing a
|
|
journal doesn't require running e2fsck.
|
|
|
|
Remove use of AC_REQUIRE from autoconf which had been used to prevent
|
|
AC_CANONICAL_HOST from being called twice; unfortunately this causes
|
|
recent autoconf to bomb out since they don't allow AC_REQUIRE to be
|
|
used outside of autoconf macros. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be
|
|
necessary any more, anyway.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now not fall back to an alternate superblock if the user
|
|
specifies the superblock location explicitly on the command-line.
|
|
This allows easier recovery from a situation where the primary
|
|
superblock and block groups are slightly corrupted, but the backup
|
|
superblocks are completely broken.
|
|
|
|
Fix problem which caused compile_et and mk_cmds to blow up if
|
|
e2fsprogs was in a directory with a pathname that contained spaces.
|
|
|
|
We are now more paranoid about checking the entry in /etc/mtab to make
|
|
sure the filesystem is really mounted, since some broken distributions
|
|
(read: Slackware) don't initialize /etc/mtab before checking non-root
|
|
filesystems. (Slackware also doesn't check the root filesystem
|
|
separately, and reboot if the root filesystem had changes applied to
|
|
it, which is dangerous and broken, but there's nothing I can do about
|
|
that.)
|
|
|
|
Make UUID library C++ friendly by adding appropriate extern "C"
|
|
declarations and using const in the function declarations.
|
|
|
|
Fix up the com_err texinfo file so that it can product a valid info
|
|
file (previously, it could only be used to generate paper
|
|
documentation using texinfo.tex).
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.24a (September 2, 2001)
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
Fix brown-paper bug in mke2fs which caused it to segfault when
|
|
printing the version string.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.24 (August 30, 2001)
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Revert the BLKGETSIZE64 support, since for some distributions, this
|
|
ioctl has been used by an unofficial kernel patch to update the last
|
|
sector on the disk, and this was causing disk corruption problems as a
|
|
result.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs is now more careful about zapping swap space signatures and
|
|
other filesystem/raid superblock magic values so that programs like
|
|
mount who try to use hueristics to determine the filesystem type of a
|
|
partition are less likely to be confused.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will no longer complain if the the mode of EXT2_RESIZE_INO is a
|
|
regular file (since Andreas Dilger's on-line resizing tools will set
|
|
its mode bits).
|
|
|
|
Fixed some minor texinfo, man pages nits for spelling errors,
|
|
texinfo warnings, etc. (Addresses Debian bug #110621.)
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs program no longer print the filesystem version number
|
|
(i.e. 0.5b), since it only confuses people and doesn't serve any real
|
|
purpose.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will once again compile under libc5, since it will supply its
|
|
own version of strnlen if necesssary.
|
|
|
|
mke2fs and tune2fs will allow the use of UUID= or LABEL= specifiers
|
|
when specifying the external journal device. tune2fs will also search
|
|
devices looking for the externla journal debice when removing.
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.23 (August 15, 2001)
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Add initial support for extended attributes (EA); e2fsck will
|
|
correctly handle a filesystem with EA's and check the EA blocks for
|
|
corruptions.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck's symlink sanity checking has been cleaned up. It now checks
|
|
the i_size value of fast symlinks, and checks for immutable flags
|
|
being set of symlinks, etc.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now offers to clear inodes which are special files that have a
|
|
non-zero i_blocks or i_size field. (The i_size field check was in the
|
|
previous version of the code, but due to a bug it didn't offer to
|
|
clear the inode unless i_size and i_size_high were both non-zero.)
|
|
|
|
E2image can now create "raw" image files, which only contain the
|
|
filesystem metadata placed in a spare file so that e2fsck, dumpe2fs,
|
|
debugfs, etc., can be run directly on the raw image file.
|
|
|
|
Add support for the 64-bit block device patches.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bugs in creating external journals with a 1k blocksize.
|
|
|
|
Add initial support for external journals (so long as the external
|
|
journal only supports a single filesystem) in e2fsck.
|
|
|
|
Remove requirement for needing to run fsck on a filesystem after
|
|
removing a journal (either internal or external).
|
|
|
|
The man pages now document how to create and manage external journals.
|
|
|
|
Speed up the check of an ext3 filesystems by avoiding a needless flush
|
|
of all of the superblock and block group descriptors.
|
|
|
|
Speed up creating an internal journal using tune2fs in the case where
|
|
the filesystem has a lot blocks already allocated.
|
|
|
|
Tune2fs has been fixed to make sure that only error messages go to
|
|
stderr, and normal message go to stdout. (Addresses Debian bug #108555)
|
|
|
|
Fixed a minor bug in mke2fs; if -O none is passed to mke2fs, it will
|
|
now not set the sparse_super feature. (Addresses Debian bug #108165)
|
|
|
|
Add support in fsck for the filesystem type "auto".
|
|
|
|
Fsck -A will not try to interpret device names for filesystems which
|
|
have a pass number is 0. (Addresses Debian bug #106696).
|
|
|
|
Fsck prints a warning message if now valid filesystems are passed to
|
|
it. (Addresses Debian Bug #107458.)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now gives an explicit warning if there filesystem still has
|
|
errors at the end of the run. (Addresses Debian bug #104502)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will set the EXT2_ERROR_FS flag if the journal superblock
|
|
reflects an error. E2fsck will also not run the orphan list if the
|
|
filesystem contains errors, since the orphan list might be corrupted.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now prints the number of large files when given the -v option.
|
|
|
|
Fixed minor memory leaks in e2fsck.
|
|
|
|
Some minor man pages updates. (Addresses Debian bug #30833, #108174)
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.22 (June 22, 2001)
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in e2fsck's handling of orphan inodes which are special
|
|
files (i.e., block/character device files, named FIFO's, etc.).
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug accidentally introduced in e2fsprogs 1.21 which caused
|
|
tune2fs to fail at adding a journal to a mounted filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a few big-endian bugs in e2fsprogs
|
|
* The directory block functions were accidentally reporting
|
|
some directories as corrupted when they weren't.
|
|
* If e2fsprogs is compiled --disable-swapfs, the C language
|
|
equivalents weren't being included for big-endian platforms.
|
|
(Fixes Debian bug #101686).
|
|
|
|
Fixed a Hurd compilation problem. (Addresses Debian bug #101361)
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Use platform independent method of defining the BLKFLSBUF and FDFLUSH
|
|
ioctls, and allow them to be defined for non-i386 platforms.
|
|
|
|
The uuid.h header file is now protected against multiple inclusions.
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs is now being developed using BitKeeper. Changed the test
|
|
scripts to deal with BK's stripping CR characgters from text files,
|
|
and changed the top-level Makefile.in to avoid including BitKeeper
|
|
files when generating the source tarball.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.21 (June 15, 2001)
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Added new configure flags which allow a subset e2fsprogs to be built;
|
|
this is most useful for boot floopies, since the resulting shared
|
|
libraries and programs are slimmed down by removing features that
|
|
aren't necessary for a boot floppy. The new flags that were added
|
|
are: --disable-swapfs, which removes support for byte swapping old
|
|
legacy PPC/68k filesystems, --disable-debugfs, which removes support
|
|
for debugfs from the libext2fs library, --disable-imager, which
|
|
removes support for the e2image program, and --disable-resizer, which
|
|
removes support for resize2fs.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now prints the number of mounts or days elapsed since the last
|
|
check when e2fsck is forced to check an otherwise clean filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Tune2fs now prints an informative message about how often a filesystem
|
|
will be checked when adding a journal to the filesystem, to remind the
|
|
user that he/she may want to adjust those parameters using tune2fs
|
|
-c/-i.
|
|
|
|
Worked around hurd brain-damage which causes e2fsck to sometimes
|
|
believe a filesystem is the root filesystem based on device numbers
|
|
(since Hurd doesn't have dev_t's, which is arguably a POSIX.1
|
|
violation).
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug introduced in 1.20 which caused e2fsck to abort with an
|
|
erroneous error with the -F option was specified.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a ext3 recovery bug in the revoke handling; synchronized with
|
|
ext3 0.7a.
|
|
|
|
Fixed two bugs in e2fsck's handling of dup block handling, dealing
|
|
with relatively uncommon edge cases: a directory with an indirect
|
|
block which is claimed by another file, and when the last inode in the
|
|
filesystem has blocks claimed by another file.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now checks to see if the i_size field of a fast symlink is too
|
|
big, and offers to clear the symlink if so.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now checks to see if i_size_high of special files is non-zero,
|
|
and offers to clear i_size_high.
|
|
|
|
Fix e2fsck's handling of incompatible journal flags so that the user
|
|
has chance to abort, and then has the option to clear out the journal
|
|
entirely. (Addresses Debian bug #98527.)
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in fsck which could cause it to core dump if a mix of
|
|
standard and non-standard device names are used in /etc/fstab.
|
|
(Debian bug #100559)
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in debugfs which caused read errors when copying a file to
|
|
not be noticed.
|
|
|
|
The debugfs set_super_value command can now modify the s_lastcheck field.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in lsattr and chattr which was accidentally introduced in
|
|
1.20 to support > 2GB files; both lsattr and chattr wasn't reading
|
|
directories correctly because the change modified the layout of struct
|
|
dirent to be incompatible with the libe2p shared library.
|
|
|
|
Cleaned up the mke2fs manual page and included a discussion about why
|
|
it's good to periodically check the filesystem even when journaling is
|
|
enabled.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:

-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fix general gcc -Wall complaints.
|
|
|
|
The types needed by the ext2 header files are now provided by
|
|
lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h, instead of include/asm/types.h.
|
|
|
|
Integers are now preferred to longs when trying to find a 32-bit type
|
|
in ext2_types.h. Also, if linux/types.h has already been defined,
|
|
don't try to redefine the types.
|
|
|
|
Fixed make depend script so that it automatically corrects the
|
|
pathname cleanups performed by make -M, so I don't have to fix them up
|
|
by hand.
|
|
|
|
Fixed the d_loaddump test case to be more robust, and not depend on
|
|
bash'isms.
|
|
|
|
Removed debugfs's dependence on pread(), which was accidentally
|
|
intrudced in e2fsprogs 1.20
|
|
|
|
Fixed a performance bug in the libext2fs's icount routine; the size
|
|
estimate of the icount array was incorrectly being calculated.
|
|
|
|
Removed use of the badblocks compatibility functions in the e2fsprogs
|
|
programs.
|
|
|
|
Added paranoia code which protects against strange cases where /etc
|
|
isn't on the root filesystem, or if /etc/mtab doesn't exist.
|
|
|
|
The header file ext2_types.h is now installed.
|
|
|
|
Autoconf is used to determine when we are on big-endian machines,
|
|
instead of doing run-time tests, to save a few bytes of code.
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_mark_generic_bitmap and ext2fs_unmark_generic_bitmap
|
|
functions are no longer inline functions, which saves space and
|
|
doesn't really cost any real performance.
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs library no longer depends on the e2p library. (What need
|
|
there was of it --- namely, fsetflags, was coded in-line).
|
|
|
|
Fixed the makefile so that lib/ext2fs/ext2_types.h is generated even
|
|
when the user is stupid and tries compiling the package using "make
|
|
install" as root.
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous code cleanups:
|
|
* Added missing files from Makefile.in's SRCS file, so that
|
|
their dependencies would be properly calculated.
|
|
* Removed redundant code
|
|
* Fixed comments in code
|
|
* Removed no-longer unneeded argsused #pragma.

E2fsprogs 1.20 (May 20, 2001)
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
Add support for replaying the ext3 journal purely in user mode,
|
|
including handling the orphaned inode list. Used code contributed by
|
|
Andreas Dilger, with bug fixes and the orphaned inode handling done
|
|
by Theodore Ts'o.
|
|
|
|
The mke2fs and tune2fs programs can create or modify a filesystem to
|
|
include an ext3 journal. Tune2fs also can be used to remove an ext3
|
|
journal from a filesystem.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now check for the existence of a linked list of orphan
|
|
inodes in the superblock, and clear those inodes before starting the
|
|
rest of the filesystem check (but after the journal playback).
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now validates the file descriptor passed to the -C option,
|
|
which saves against the completion bar getting written to an
|
|
unexpected location, such as the disk being checked. (Debian
|
|
bug/wishlist #55220)
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now bump the filesystem revision number from zero to one
|
|
if any of the compatibility bits are set.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug where a badly corrupted directory on a big endian system
|
|
could cause e2fsck to die with a bus error. The
|
|
ext2fs_read_dir_block() and ext2fs_process_dir_block() functions in
|
|
the ext2 library now does alignment sanity checks on the rec_len field
|
|
of the directory entry before using it.
|
|
|
|
The ext2 library has been enhanced to make tune2fs safe to run on
|
|
mounted filesystems. (Users could usually get away with using tune2fs
|
|
on mounted filesystems before, but with the advent of ext3 and
|
|
journaling, it became important to make tune2fs was *really* safe for
|
|
use even when the filesystem being modified is mounted.) E2label is
|
|
now implemented by tune2fs using an argv[0] dispatch, so that e2label
|
|
is also now safe for use on mounted filesystems.
|
|
|
|
Added a new program, e2image, which creates a backup of critical ext2
|
|
filesystem data structures. The generated image file can be examined
|
|
using dumpe2fs and debugfs. In the future, e2fsck will be able to use
|
|
the image file to help recover very badly damaged filesystems.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a number of LFS bugs in e2fsck; very, very large (> 2**42) files
|
|
no longer cause e2fsck to bomb out. Also treat files > 2GB as being
|
|
large file when deciding whether or not the filesystem has large files.
|
|
|
|
Fixed lsattr and chattr so that they work correctly on large files.
|
|
(Fixes Debian bug #72690.)
|
|
|
|
Removed limitation in get_device_size() which imposed a one terrabyte
|
|
filesystem limitation. (Most 2.2 kernels still have a signed int
|
|
problem which cause 1 TB block device limitation. Fortunately, the
|
|
kernel patches to fix this are much easier than fixing the 2TB
|
|
limitation in the kernel. :-)
|
|
|
|
A max_mount_count of zero is now treated as if no mount count were
|
|
set. (Previously, no mount count was indicated by using -1, and a
|
|
mount count of zero caused e2fsck to always be run.)
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs supports two new filesystem types largefile and largefile4.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now adds some randomness in s_max_mount_count so that multiple
|
|
filesystems won't be all checked at the same time under normal
|
|
operations.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in the progress bar printing code which could cause e2fsck
|
|
to core dump on an illegal filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in fsck which could allow more than one instance of e2fsck
|
|
to be printing a progress bar. (Debian bug #65267)
|
|
|
|
Fsck using a UUID or a LABEL specifier will work even if devfs is
|
|
compiled into the kernel and not mounted. If the pathnames in
|
|
/proc/partitions are incorrect, fsck will search /dev for the correct
|
|
device (using the new ext2fs_find_block_device library function).
|
|
Fsck now also checks the RAID devices first so that they are properly
|
|
found when they are in use. Support has also been added to support
|
|
additional IDE disks and the DAC 960 device names. (Debian bug #94159)
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in fsck which caused it not deal properly with 16
|
|
byte long filesystem labels.
|
|
|
|
Fsck's -t option has been made a lot more flexible. The semantics for
|
|
what happens if a comma-separated list to fsck has been regularized,
|
|
and it is now possible to filter what filesystems will get checked
|
|
based what is in the filesystem's fstab entry's option field. (Debian
|
|
bug #89483.)
|
|
|
|
The dumpe2fs program can now print out the group description
|
|
information in hex, and also prints the location of the superblock and
|
|
block group descriptor for those block groups that have them.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now clears the ext2 superblock before it starts creating a
|
|
filesystem, so that the superblock magic number is only written if the
|
|
filesystem creation process successfully completes.
|
|
|
|
The debugfs program's stat command now pretty-prints the blocks used
|
|
by an inode so that it's more compact and informative.
|
|
|
|
The debugfs stats command now uses the same libe2p code (which is used
|
|
by dumpe2fs) to print the superblock header information. This is more
|
|
complete, and it avoids a bit of code duplication.
|
|
|
|
Added a new debugfs command, set_super_value (ssv) which allows the
|
|
user to set arbitrary superblock fields.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs was extended to support inode numbers in hex (by prefixing
|
|
them with 0x), and so that modify_inode can set the inode generation
|
|
number. Also, there is now a new function command called logdump
|
|
which will dump an ext3 journal.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in debugfs so that quitting out of the pager doesn't kill
|
|
debugfs.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs's dump command now stops immediately upon reporting a disk
|
|
read error. (Fixed a bug in ext2fs_file_read library routine which
|
|
caused debugfs not to stop.) (Debian bug #79163)
|
|
|
|
On systems with /proc/mounts (mainly Linux systems), /proc/mounts is
|
|
checked before /etc/mtab is used, since /proc/mounts is more likely to
|
|
be accurate.
|
|
|
|
Added portability fixes for Solaris and Linux/ia64.
|
|
|
|
Various manual pages were clarified and cleaned up. (Fixed debian
|
|
bugs #63442, #67446, and #87216)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
The e2fsck message printer now supports %Iu and %Ig, which will print
|
|
out the inode's user and group owners, respectively.
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs now includes its own version of include/linux/ext2_fs.h, so
|
|
that no longer dependent on the system having the correct version of
|
|
the kernel header files.
|
|
|
|
Added a new function to libext2, ext2fs_find_block_device(), which
|
|
searches the system (i.e., /dev, /devfs, /devices) for a pathname to a
|
|
device given its device number.
|
|
|
|
Added a new function to libext2, ext2fs_sync_device, which centralizes
|
|
all of the places which might try to use the BLKFLSBUF or FDFLUSH
|
|
ioctls (and usually failing to define them since the system header
|
|
files don't usually do this for us, and we're trying to avoid usage of
|
|
kernel include files now).
|
|
|
|
Added new utility programs in tests/progs: random_exercise and
|
|
hold_inode. They aren't built by default; they're useful for
|
|
exercising ext3 filesystem code.
|
|
|
|
Added a new ext2 filesystem flag, EXT2_FLAG_SUPER_ONLY, which causes
|
|
the filesystem close functions to only update the superblock, and to
|
|
not touch the block group descriptors. Needed by tune2fs when
|
|
modifying a mounted filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Got rid of struct ext2fs_sb and replaced it with the standard struct
|
|
ext2_super_block from include/linux/ext2_fs.h. Note: this may break
|
|
source (but not binary) compatibility of some users of the ext2
|
|
library. Those applications should just simply do a global search and
|
|
replace of struct ext2fs_sb with struct ext2_super_block, and include
|
|
the new header file <ext2fs/ext2_fs.h> which defines it.
|
|
|
|
The ino_t type has been renamed ext2_ino_t to protect applications
|
|
that attempt to compile -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, since this
|
|
inexplicably changes ino_t(!?). So we use ext2_ino_t to avoid an
|
|
unexpected ABI change.
|
|
|
|
The Makefiles have been reworked so that "make check" can be run from
|
|
the top-level Makefile.
|
|
|
|
Fix general gcc -Wall complaints and removed dead code.
|
|
|
|
Remove use of NOARGS, because we assume everyone does ANSI C these
|
|
days.
|
|
|
|
Added build-rpm script from sct.
|
|
|
|
New functions ext2fs_image_{inode,super,bitmap}_{read,write} added
|
|
to support e2image.
|
|
|
|
New function ext2fs_flush_icache which must be called if the
|
|
application program modifies the inode table blocks without going
|
|
through ext2fs_write_inode() interface.
|
|
|
|
New ext2fs_check_mount_point() function, which will return the mount
|
|
point of a device if mounted.
|
|
|
|
The io_channel abstraction now has an optional interface,
|
|
io_channel_write_range, which allows specific byte ranges to be
|
|
written.
|
|
|
|
The unix_io IO channel now supports write-through caching, so that
|
|
journal creation is more efficient.
|
|
|
|
Added x86 assembly language routines to support byte swapping, to
|
|
reduce executable size.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in the utility program subst so that it's possible to
|
|
replace a substitution variable with a zero-length string.
|
|
|
|
Fixed numbering e2fsck pass1 problem numbers; an extra zero had
|
|
slipped into some of the problem number.
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.19 (July 13, 2000)
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Release the resize2fs program since the timeout before it could
|
|
be released under the GPL has finally expired.
|
|
|
|
Add experimental support needed for the ext2 compression patches.
|
|
This requires compiling e2fsprogs with the --enable-compression flag
|
|
to the configure script.
|
|
|
|
Added ext3 journalling support. E2fsck will run the journal (if
|
|
necessary) by temporarily mounting the filesystem. /sbin/fsck.ext3 is
|
|
installed as a symlink to e2fsck. Fsck has been taught about ext3,
|
|
and treats it the same as ext2 in terms of the progress bar logic.
|
|
Dumpe2fs will display the superblock journaling information if the
|
|
filesystem has a journal. The ext2 library will now permit opening an
|
|
ext3 filesystem with the recovery flag set. This is necessary for
|
|
on-line dump's to work correctly, but there may be issues with this
|
|
working well since ext3 is much less agressive about syncing blocks to
|
|
the filesystem, since they're safe on the journal.
|
|
|
|
Tune2fs and e2fsck have been changed to allow the mount_count check to
|
|
be disabled by setting max_mount_count to -1. (This was already
|
|
supported by the kernel.)
|
|
|
|
Create a symbolic link for fsck.ext3, since the e2fsprogs utilities
|
|
are used for ext3 as well.
|
|
|
|
Added internationalization support for e2fsprogs; must be enabled
|
|
by passing --enable-nls to configure.
|
|
|
|
Always use the provided ext2fs header files to insulate ourselves from
|
|
kernel version changes. Which include files are used by e2fsprogs
|
|
have also been cleaned up to improve portability.
|
|
|
|
Limit the number of times that e2fsck updates the progress bar so that
|
|
people who are booting using a 9600 baud console don't get swampped by
|
|
too many updates.
|
|
|
|
Improved the loop detection algorithm in e2sck's pass #3 so that it is
|
|
much, much faster for large filesystems with a large number of
|
|
directories.
|
|
|
|
The memory footprint for e2fsck is now slightly smaller than before.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now checks if special devices have a non-zero size, and offers
|
|
to clear the size field if it finds such an inode.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now checks if special devices have the append-only flag set,
|
|
and offers to clear the inode.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now properly handles some "should never fail" cases during a
|
|
bitmap copy in pass5.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now properly prints control characters in filenames as ^A .. ^Z.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now calculates the correct location of the backup superblock in
|
|
the case of filesystem blocksizes > 1k.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in e2fsck's calculation of the number of inodes_per_block
|
|
which normally didn't cause problems under most filesystem parameters,
|
|
but could cause a valid superblock to be rejected in extreme cases.
|
|
Other checks for validating superblock values were made more
|
|
stringent.
|
|
|
|
Added non-destructive write testing to the badblocks program, courtesy
|
|
of David Beattie. The badblocks also now has an option to input the
|
|
current set of bad blocks, so that known bad blocks are skipped to
|
|
speed up the badblocks test. There is also a persistent rescan
|
|
feature which causes badblocks to run until it has completed some
|
|
number of passes without discovering any new bad blocks.
|
|
|
|
Badblocks now checks to see if the device is mounted and refuses to do
|
|
the tests involving writing to the device if it is mounted. Also,
|
|
badblocks now allows the number of blocks to be checked to be
|
|
defaulted to the size of the partition.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in fsck which didn't allow non-root users to be able to
|
|
check filesystems if there were any LABEL= or UUID= entries in
|
|
/etc/fstab.
|
|
|
|
The Hurd doesn't support the filetype filesystem feature. The mke2fs
|
|
program now makes sure that for the Hurd, the filestype feature is
|
|
turned off. E2fsck will check to see if the filetype feature is
|
|
turned on for Hurd filesystems, and offer to turn off the feature.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now has a safety check to make sure the number of blocks do not
|
|
exceed 32 bits even on a 64 bit platform.
|
|
|
|
Really fixed a bug in fsck to allow "fsck -As" to run interactive
|
|
fsck's. (For those people who like to do interactive fsck's in the
|
|
/etc/rc scripts!?!)
|
|
|
|
Debugfs has a few new features: the rdump command, which will do a
|
|
recursive dump of a directory and all of its contents, and the lcd
|
|
command which does a local chdir (much like the ftp command of the
|
|
same name). In addition, the debugfs program and the open_filesystem
|
|
command now takes three new options: -b and -s, which allows the
|
|
blocksize and superblock location to be specified, and the -c option
|
|
which is used in catastrophic situations where the block group
|
|
descriptors are corrupt. If the -c option is specified, debugfs will
|
|
skip trying to read in the block and inode bitmaps.
|
|
|
|
Debufs's lsdel command was fixed to handle bad blocks in the inode
|
|
table.
|
|
|
|
A Y2K bug in debugfs's "ls -l" handling was fixed by switching to use
|
|
4 digit years.
|
|
|
|
General improvements in error messages
|
|
|
|
- Mke2fs prints a sane error message if the partition size is zero
|
|
(usually because the partition table wasn't reread by the
|
|
kernel due to the partition being busy), instead of "invalid
|
|
argument passed to ext2 library while initializing superblock".
|
|
|
|
- Fsck now prints more self-explanatory message if an invalid UUID=
|
|
or LABEL= specification is passed to it.
|
|
|
|
UUID library changed to use the LGPL.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in the UUID library where very rapid calls to the
|
|
time-based UUID generator could cause duplicate UUID's to be returned.
|
|
This was not a problem for e2fsprogs, but it could be a problem for
|
|
other users of the library.
|
|
|
|
Make the UUID library more robust in the face of missing or an
|
|
improper /dev/urandom or /dev/random files.
|
|
|
|
Added some random portability fixes for Solaris.
|
|
|
|
Some minor man page updates.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a memory leak in the ss library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
We now try to use lseek64 and open64 from the LFS if possible.
|
|
|
|
The 3rd parameter in e2p's print_flags is now a flags word, instead of
|
|
a boolean option.
|
|
|
|
The mark and unmark bitmap functions now return the previous state of
|
|
the bit that was being changed, which is useful for some speed
|
|
optimizations.
|
|
|
|
The following functions have been added to enhance the badblocks list
|
|
handling in libext2fs: ext2fs_write_bb_FILE, ext2fs_read_bb_FILE2, and
|
|
ext2fs_badblocks_equal.
|
|
|
|
The ext2 header files now have the latest journalling fields to the
|
|
superblock.
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_mkdir function in libext2fs now properly backs out of error
|
|
conditions robustly.
|
|
|
|
Cleaned up makefiles:
|
|
- to cleanly compile with the -j flag.
|
|
- so distclean removes all generated files.
|
|
- so in case of an error while installing header files, the make aborts.
|
|
|
|
Fix test_script so that it works correctly when compiling in the
|
|
source directory.
|
|
|
|
The random UUID generation routine has been made slightly better in
|
|
the case where /dev/random doesn't exist. (Use of randomly-based UUID
|
|
is still not recommended if /dev/random doesn't exist, however; it's
|
|
better to use the time/ethernet MAC address UUID in this case.)
|
|
|
|
Clean up the build process so it's more friendly in case of missing
|
|
directories.
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs header file can now be #include'd into C++ programs.
|
|
|
|
The e2p.h header file is now installed.
|
|
|
|
Added workaround to a gawk 3.0.5 bug in lib/ss/mk_cmds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.18 (November 10, 1999)
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
Fix a core dumping bug in e2fsck if an imagic inode is present or
|
|
(more rarely) if the filesystem is badly corrupted enough that e2fsck
|
|
has to restart pass 1 processing. E2fsck now closes the filesystem
|
|
before freeing a large number of its data structures, so in the case
|
|
of future memory faults, at least the fixed filesystem will be fully
|
|
written out.
|
|
|
|
If a filesystem doesn't support imagic inodes, and e2fsck discovers an
|
|
imagic inode, it will offer to clear the imagic flag.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now offer to clear the immutable flag on special files
|
|
(device/socket/fifos) when running it in non-preen mode.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now set the filetype when creating /lost+found, and when
|
|
connected orphaned inodes to /lost+found.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs's ncheck and icheck commands now handles the case where there
|
|
are bad blocks in the inode table without bombing out.
|
|
|
|
The badblocks list processing code has been made more efficiently for
|
|
appending a large number of (ordered) badblocks to the badblocks list.
|
|
|
|
Some minor man page updates.
|
|
|
|
Fsck now allows interactive e2fsck's when using fsck -As (not a common
|
|
mode, but some people like to do this in boot scripts for silly reasons).
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
The internal e2fsck problem code for PR_2_SPLIT_DOT was fixed to meet
|
|
with the problem code convention.
|
|
|
|
The badblocks list regression test program has been updated to work
|
|
with previously made API name changes.
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_free() command now uses the new badblocks API to avoid
|
|
using the compatibility layer.
|
|
|
|
Added new regression test cases; the run_e2fsck test script now
|
|
supports the ability for a test case to run a prepratory command
|
|
before running e2fsck.
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.17 (October 26, 1999)
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
Fixed nasty typo in fsck which caused parallelized fsck's to go into an
|
|
infinite loop.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in fsck where it used strncmp to compare a binary UUID,
|
|
thus potentially causing problems if a binary UUID contained a NULL
|
|
character.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now uses stricter checks for directory entries in pass 2:
|
|
zero-length filenames are not allowed; neither are 8 byte long
|
|
directory entries.
|
|
|
|
The debugfs "dirty" command now clears the filesystem valid bit.
|
|
(Previously this just set the dirty-as-in-needs-writing-out-to-disk
|
|
bit in the in-core superblock image. The new functionality is more
|
|
what the user expects, and is more useful.)
|
|
|
|
Added a debugging hook to test parallel fsck; if the environment
|
|
variable FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL, then filesystems on the same drive
|
|
will be checked in parallel when they normally would not be.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fixed some #ifdef's for compilation under the Hurd OS.
|
|
|
|
Fixed minor W2K compatibility problems.
|
|
|
|
Fixed some miscellaneous GCC warnings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.16 (October 22, 1999)
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
Fixed a race condition bug in fsck; when printing a progress bar, if
|
|
checking multiple filesystems in parallel, it was possible for fsck to
|
|
send e2fsck a SIGUSR1 signal before e2fsck had installed its signal
|
|
handler, which would cause it to terminate with a signal 10.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now properly handles filesystems that have the
|
|
INCOMPAT_FILETYPE feature turned on. It can be used to convert a
|
|
filesystem into using or not using FILETYPE feature.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now properly handles filesystems that have the IMAGIC feature
|
|
turned on (this is used on Linux AFS servers).
|
|
|
|
The mke2fs program now creates filesystems that have the filetype and
|
|
sparse_superblock features enabled by default, unless it is run on a
|
|
pre-2.2 kernel. These features are not supported by a pre-2.2 kernel,
|
|
so there is now a new flag -O which allows the user to specify with
|
|
which features she would like to create the filesystem; "mke2fs -O
|
|
none" will create a filesystsem compatible with 2.0 kernels.
|
|
|
|
The tune2fs program now has a -O option which allows the user to set
|
|
and reset "safe" filesystem features. Currently, the only ones which
|
|
allows to be modified are the filetype and sparse_superblock features.
|
|
Note setting or clearing either feature will require running e2fsck on
|
|
the filesystem afterwards. (n.b. Clearing the sparse_superblock feature
|
|
requires that there is enough free space on the filesystem for the
|
|
extra superblocks which will be created by e2fsck.)
|
|
|
|
Debugfs can now set and print filesystem features in the superblock
|
|
using the "features" command. Dumpe2fs will print out the complete
|
|
set of features when listing the superblock.
|
|
|
|
Dumpe2fs has new options -f (force) and -h (header-only).
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could cause the PROGRAMMING ERROR/bonehead
|
|
message to come up. This could happen when decrementing or
|
|
incrementing a link count could result in an overflow.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in e2fsck where the block count on the lost+found
|
|
directory would not be properly incremented when the directory was
|
|
expanded to the point where an indirect block needed to be allocated.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now makes some additional sanity checks on the superblock to
|
|
avoid crashing or giving a memory allocation error if some of the
|
|
values in the superblock are unresonable (but the superblock otherwise
|
|
looks valid).
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in e2fsck where a very badly corrupted filesystem might
|
|
require two passes to completely fix the filesystem. This happened if
|
|
an inode claimed blocks that was part of the filesystem metadata
|
|
(typically, when garbage was written into an inode table or indirect
|
|
block, since this kind of filesystem corruption normally doesn't
|
|
happen otherwise).
|
|
|
|
On the Alpha, glibc declares st_flags although it isn't actually used;
|
|
the configure script was improved to detect this case so that
|
|
e2fsprogs can avoid using the non-functional stat field.
|
|
|
|
The manual pages were updated to use a more consistent formatting
|
|
style consistent with standard Unix man pages. Mke2fs's man page
|
|
added documentation for a few previously undocumented options.
|
|
|
|
Fixed minor display bugs in tune2fs and mke2fs.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Improved portability of e2fsprogs to non-Unix systems (in particular, NT).
|
|
|
|
Added features to parse and print feature strings into the e2p library.
|
|
(e2p_feature2string, e2p_string2feature, e2p_edit_feature).
|
|
|
|
ext2fs_mkdir() and ext2fs_new_dir_block() now creates directories
|
|
whose directory entries contain proper filetype information if the
|
|
filesystem supports it.
|
|
|
|
ext2fs_link() now uses the low 3 bits of its flags parameter to pass
|
|
the directory entry filetype information. This is used to set the
|
|
directory entry filetype information if the filesystem supports it.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in ext2fs_expand_dir() where the block count in a
|
|
directory's inode would not be properly incremented when the directory
|
|
was expanded to the point where an indirect block needed to be
|
|
allocated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.15 (July 18, 1999)
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Add configuration checks so that e2fsprogs will compile cleanly on
|
|
Linux 2.3 kernels that have renamed i_version to i_generation.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now prints a progress/completion bar (and not just a simple
|
|
spinner) if the -C0 option is requested or if it receives a SIGUSR1
|
|
signal. Fsck will automatically manage the (potentially muliple)
|
|
e2fsck processes to print completion bars if it is given a -C option,
|
|
with the right thing happening if multiple filesystems are being
|
|
checked in parallel.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now has better automatic hueristics to determine the filesystem
|
|
parameters to be used for a particular filesystem. Added a new option
|
|
-T which allows the user to specify how the filesystem is to be used,
|
|
which helps mke2fs do a better job selecting the filesystem parameters.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now creates revision 1 filesystems by default, and with the
|
|
sparse superblock feature enabled. The sparse superblock feature is
|
|
not understood by Linux 2.0 kernels, so they will only allow read-only
|
|
mounts of filesystems with this sparse superblocks.
|
|
|
|
Fix bug where if /dev/null couldn't be opened (should never happen),
|
|
e2fsck would hang in a tight loop.
|
|
|
|
Make e2fsck handle the case where /lost+found isn't a directory.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now uses mallinfo if it exists to get accurate statistics about
|
|
its memory usage.
|
|
|
|
Fix bug in e2fsck where it wouldn't check to see if a disconnected
|
|
inode had any problems before connecting it to /lost+found.
|
|
|
|
Add check to e2fsck so it makes sure that total number of inodes in
|
|
the filesystem is a sane number.
|
|
|
|
Fix fencepost error when clearing an the end of the block bitmap which
|
|
caused the last block in the bitmap not to get cleared.
|
|
|
|
Cleaned up a number of messages in e2fsck:
|
|
* The message "Group's #'s copy of the group descriptor..."
|
|
was fixed so that the correct number would be displayed.
|
|
* Added missing space in the "disk write-protected" error messsage
|
|
* Cleaned up the error message printed when a non-interactive
|
|
e2fsck needs to abort a check because the filesystem
|
|
appears to be mounted.
|
|
|
|
Added a new command-line utility, uuidgen, which will create and print
|
|
a UUID.
|
|
|
|
Make debugfs's icheck command more robust by checking to make sure an
|
|
inode has valid blocks before interarting over the inode's blocks.
|
|
|
|
UUID generation now uses a random-based scheme whenever possible to
|
|
prevent potential privacy problems.
|
|
|
|
Man pages for all of the UUID functions in the lirbary were added.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in fsck so it won't coredump if a filesystem not in
|
|
/etc/fstab is given to it.
|
|
|
|
Fsck now understands the UUID=xxxx and LABEL=yyyy forms in /etc/fstab
|
|
that most of the other mount utilities understands.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will make a filesystem even if it appears mounted if the force
|
|
option is given.
|
|
|
|
Dumpe2fs has 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.
|
|
|
|
The badblocks program has been updated to display correctly on disks
|
|
with large block numbers.
|
|
|
|
The badblocks program no longer gives spurious errors when errors
|
|
occur on non-block boundaries, which is common if the blocksize is
|
|
larger than 1k.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will sync the disk device every MKE2FS_SYNC block groups if the
|
|
MKE2FS_SYNC environment variable is set. 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, but hopefully it will not be
|
|
needed for most Linux 2.2 users.
|
|
|
|
Fixed miscellaneous documentation and man pages.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Cleaned up functions such as pass1_get_blocks, pass1_read_inode which
|
|
in e2fsck's pass1.c really should have been static.
|
|
|
|
The return value of the uuid_compare() function was changed to make it
|
|
match with the convetions used by strcmp, memcmp, and Paul Leach's
|
|
UUID sample document.
|
|
|
|
The "make depend" process has now been made more automated; it now
|
|
automatically word-wraps the dependencies, and only replaces source
|
|
Makefile.in if there has been a change in the dependencies. Also, a
|
|
top-level "make depend" now recurses through all the subdirectories
|
|
automatically.
|
|
|
|
The Makefile in .../util has been changed so that subst is built using
|
|
the native C compiler during a cross-compilation, since the subst
|
|
program is only used during the build process. Also add an explicit
|
|
rule to build util/subst by cd'ing to the correct directory and
|
|
running Makefile.
|
|
|
|
The man directories are defined in terms mandir, so that the configure
|
|
script can override the location of the manual pages.
|
|
|
|
The config files have been updated to recognize new machine types for
|
|
both the i386 and alpha families.
|
|
|
|
Fsck has been modified so that it will accurately create an
|
|
fsck_instance even when the noexecute flag is set. This allows for
|
|
accurate debugging of the fsck pass structure. Also, when the verbose
|
|
flag is given twice, fsck will print debugging information about when
|
|
fsck is waiting for jobs to finish.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.14 (January 9, 1999)
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Fix the fstab parsing code so that it can handle blank lines and
|
|
comment characters. Also, missing pass numbers need to be treated as
|
|
zero.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in e2fsck where under some circumstances (when e2fsck
|
|
needs to restart processing after fixing an egregious inconsistency)
|
|
it would try to access already freed memory.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now prints non-printable characters in directory entries and
|
|
pathnames using '^' and 'M-' notation.
|
|
|
|
Fixed chattr so that it will ignore symbolic links when doing
|
|
recursive descent traversals. For both chattr and lsattr, no longer
|
|
print the version string unless the -V option is given.
|
|
|
|
Allow the system administrator to directly specify the number of
|
|
inodes desired in the filesystem, for some special cases where this is
|
|
necessary.
|
|
|
|
Fix portability problems so that e2fsprogs can be compiled under Linux
|
|
1.2 systems and Solaris systems.
|
|
|
|
Update the config.guess file with a more recent version that will
|
|
identify newer Linux platforms.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Ext2fs_read_inode and ext2fs_write_inode will now return an error if
|
|
an inode number of zero is passed to them.
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.13 (December 15, 1998)
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in debugfs where an error messages weren't getting printed
|
|
when the ext2 library routines to read inodes returned errors in the
|
|
stat, cmri and rm commands.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in mke2fs so that if a ridiculous inode ratio parameter is
|
|
provided, it won't create an inode table smaller than the minimum
|
|
number of inodes required for a proper ext2 filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Fsck now parses the /etc/fstab file directly (instead of using
|
|
getmntent()), so that it can distinguish between a missing pass number
|
|
field and pass number field of zero. This caused problems for
|
|
diskless workstations where all of the filesystems in /etc/fstab have
|
|
an explicit pass number of zero, and fsck could not distinguish this
|
|
from a /etc/fstab file with missing pass numbers.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will create a /lost+found directory if there isn't one in the
|
|
filesystem, since it's safer to create the lost+found directory before
|
|
it's needed.
|
|
|
|
Fixed e2fsck so that it would detect bogus immutable inodes which
|
|
happen to be sockets and FIFO files, and offer to clear them.
|
|
|
|
If a filesystem has multiple reasons why it needs to be checked, and
|
|
one of the reasons is that it is uncleanly mounted, e2fsck will print
|
|
that as the reason why the filesystem is being checked.
|
|
|
|
Cleaned up the output routines of mke2fs so that it doesn't overflow
|
|
an 80 column display when formating really big filesystems.
|
|
|
|
Added a sanity check to e2fsck to make sure that file descriptors 0,
|
|
1, 2 are open before opening the hard disk. This avoids a problem
|
|
where a broken program might exec e2fsck with those file descriptors
|
|
closed, which would cause disastrous results if the kernel returns a
|
|
file descriptor for the block device which is also used by FILE *
|
|
stdout.
|
|
|
|
Fixed up the e2fsck progress reporting functions so that the values
|
|
reliably reach 100% at the completion of all of the e2fsck passes.
|
|
|
|
Fixed minor documentation bugs in man pages and usage messages.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fixed a number of lint warnings in the ext2fs library and potential
|
|
portability problems from other OS's header files that might define
|
|
CPP macros for names like "max" and "min".
|
|
|
|
ext2fs_badblocks_list_add() has been made more efficient when it needs
|
|
to grow the bad blocks list.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused it to dereference a freed pointer
|
|
just before exiting.
|
|
|
|
Fixed the substition process for generating the mk_cmds and compile_et
|
|
scripts so that they will work outside of the build tree.
|
|
|
|
Add sanity check to e2fsck so that if an internal routine
|
|
(ext2fs_get_dir_info) returns NULL, avoid dereferencing the pointer
|
|
and causing a core dump. This should never happen, but...
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.12 (July 9, 1998)
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs now works with glibc (at least with the version shipped wtih
|
|
RedHat 5.0). The ext2fs_llseek() function should now work even with
|
|
i386 ELF shared libraries and if llseek() is not present. We also
|
|
explicitly do a configure test to see if (a) llseek is in libc, and
|
|
(b) if llseek is declared in the system header files. (See standard
|
|
complaints about libc developers don't understand the concept of
|
|
compatibility with previous versions of libc.)
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs library now writes out the block group number in each of
|
|
the superblock copies. This makes it easier to automatically
|
|
determine the starting block group of the filesystem when the block
|
|
group information is trashed.
|
|
|
|
Added support for the EXT2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_FILETYPE feature,
|
|
which means that e2fsprogs will ignore the high 8 bits of the
|
|
directory entry's name_len field, so that it can be used for other
|
|
purposes.
|
|
|
|
Added support for the EXT2_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_LARGE_FILE feature.
|
|
E2fsprogs will now support filesystems with 64-bit sized files.
|
|
|
|
Added support for the EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_DIR_PREALLOC feature.
|
|
|
|
Added new program "e2label", contributed by Andries Brouwer. E2label
|
|
provides an easy-to-use interface to modify the filesystem label.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug so that lsattr -v works instead of producing a core dump.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a minor bug in mke2fs so that all groups with bad superblock
|
|
backup blocks are printed (not just the first one).
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs will check the size of the device, and if the user specifies a
|
|
filesystem size larger than the apparent size of the device it will
|
|
print a warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck has a new option -C, which sends completion information to the
|
|
specified file descriptor. For the most part, this is intended for
|
|
programs to use, although -C 0 will print a spinning character to the
|
|
stdout device, which may be useful for users who want to see something
|
|
happening while e2fsck goes about its business.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in e2fsck which could cause a core dump when it needs to
|
|
expand the /lost+found directory, and sometimes the bitmaps haven't
|
|
been merged in. Also fixed a related bug where ext2fs_write_dir_block
|
|
was used to write out a non-directory block. (Which would be bad on a
|
|
non-Intel platform with byte swapping going on.)
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in e2fsck where it would print a "programming error" message
|
|
instead of correctly identifying where a bad block was in used when
|
|
the bad block was in a non-primary superblock or block group
|
|
descriptor. Also fixed a related bug when sparse superblocks are in
|
|
use and there is a bad block where a superblock or block group
|
|
descriptor would have been in a group that doesn't include a
|
|
superblock.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in e2fsck (really in libext2fs's dblist function) where if
|
|
the block group descriptor table is corrupt, it was possible to try to
|
|
allocate a huge array, fail, and then abort e2fsck.
|
|
ext2fs_get_num_dirs() now sanity checks the block group descriptor,
|
|
and subsitutes reasonable values if the descriptors are obviously bogus.
|
|
|
|
If e2fsck finds a device file which has the immutable flag set and the
|
|
i_blocks beyond the normal device number are non-zero, e2fsck will
|
|
offer to remove it, since it's probably caused by garbage in the inode
|
|
table.
|
|
|
|
When opening a filesystem, e2fsck specially checks for the EROFS error
|
|
code, and prints a specific error message to the user which is more
|
|
user friendly.
|
|
|
|
If the filesystem revision is too high, change the e2fsck to print
|
|
that this is either because e2fsck is out of date, or because the
|
|
superblock is corrupt.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now checks for directories that have duplicate '.' and '..'
|
|
entries, and fixes this corruption.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck no longer forces a sync of the filesystem (with attendant sleep
|
|
calls) at all times. The ext2fs_flush() function now performs a sync
|
|
only if it needed to write data blocks to disk.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a minor bug in e2fsck's pass1b's file cloning function, where
|
|
certain errors would not be properly reported.
|
|
|
|
Updated and expanded a few points in the man pages which users
|
|
complained wheren't explicit enough.
|
|
|
|
Added special case byte-swapping code if compiling on the PowerPC, to
|
|
accomodate the strange big-endian variant of the ext2 filesystem that
|
|
was previously used on the PowerPC port.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Removed C++ keywords from the ext2fs libraries so that it could be
|
|
compiled with C++.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck's internal organization has now been massively reorganized so
|
|
that pass*.c don't have any printf statements. Instead, all problems
|
|
are reported through the fix_problem() abstraction interface. E2fsck
|
|
has also been revamped so that it can be called as a library from a
|
|
application.
|
|
|
|
Added new fileio primitives in libext2fs for reading and writing
|
|
files on an unmounted ext2 filesystem. This interface is now used by
|
|
debugfs.
|
|
|
|
Added a new libext2fs function for mapping logical block numbers of
|
|
a file to a physical block number.
|
|
|
|
Added a new libext2fs function, ext2fs_alloc_block(), which allocates
|
|
a block, zeros it, and updates the filesystem accounting records
|
|
appropriately.
|
|
|
|
Added a new libext2fs function, ext2fs_set_bitmap_padding(), which
|
|
sets the padding of the bitmap to be all one's. Used by e2fsck pass 5.
|
|
|
|
The libext2fs functions now use a set of memory allocation wrapper
|
|
functions: ext2fs_get_mem, ext2fs_free_mem, and ext2fs_resize_mem,
|
|
instead of malloc, free, and resize. This makes it easier for us to
|
|
be ported to strange environments where malloc, et. al. aren't
|
|
necessarily available.
|
|
|
|
Change the libext2fs fucntion to return ext2-specific error codes
|
|
(EXT2_DIR_EXISTS and EXT2_DB_NOT_FOUND, for example) instead of using
|
|
and depending on the existence of system error codes (such as EEXIST
|
|
and ENOENT).
|
|
|
|
Renamed io.h to ext2_io.h to avoid collision with other OS's header
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
Add protection against ext2_io.h and ext2fs.h being included multiple
|
|
times.
|
|
|
|
The types used for memory lengths, etc. have been made more portable.
|
|
In generla, the code has been made 16-bit safe. Added Mark
|
|
Habersack's contributed DOS disk i/o routines.
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous portability fixes, including not depending on char's
|
|
being signed.
|
|
|
|
The io_channel structure has a new element, app_data, which is
|
|
initialized by the ext2fs routines to contain a copy of the filesystem
|
|
handle.
|
|
|
|
ext2fs_check_directory()'s callback function may now return the error
|
|
EXT2_ET_CALLBACK_NOTHANDLED if it wishes ext2fs_check_directory() to
|
|
really do the checking, despite the presence of the callback function.
|
|

E2fsprosg 1.11 (June 17, 1997)
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Fixed e2fsck to detect (previously ignored) conflicts between the
|
|
superblock or block group descriptors and block bitmaps, inode
|
|
bitmaps, and inode tables.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in e2fsck so that when the message printed out when a block
|
|
or inode bitmap conflicts with other data, it has the correct group
|
|
number.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in e2fsck and mke2fs where the blocksize wasn't being passed
|
|
to badblocks. This meant that not all of the filesystem was being
|
|
tested for bad blocks!
|
|
|
|
Fixed an array boundary overrun case which cropped up in
|
|
ext2fs_badblocks_list_test when a user tried running "mke2fs -c
|
|
-b 4096".
|
|
|
|
Adjusted the number of columns printed by mke2fs when displaying the
|
|
superblock backups to avoid running over 80 columns when making a
|
|
really big filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Fixed up the man pages for e2fsck, debugfs, badblocks, chattr,
|
|
dumpe2fs, fsck, mke2fs, and tune2fs (typos and other minor grammar
|
|
fixes), thanks to some suggestions from Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net).
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Fixed install rule in lib/ss so that ss_err.h is actually getting
|
|
installed.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in ext2fs_copy_bitmap; the destination bitmap wasn't getting
|
|
bassed back to the caller.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in ext2fs_inode_scan_goto_blockgroup; it had not been
|
|
setting the current inode number (which meant this function wasn't
|
|
working at all).
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in ext2fs_resize_generic_bitmap; it had not be zeroing all
|
|
blocks in the bitmap when increasing the size of the bitmap.
|
|
|
|
Changed the initial number of blocks allocated by ext2fs_init_dblist()
|
|
to be more realistic.
|
|
|
|
Added a new function ext2fs_allocate_group_table, which sets up the
|
|
group descriptor information (and allocates inode and block bitmaps,
|
|
and inode tables for a particular group). The function was created by
|
|
factoring out code form ext2fs_allocate_tables().
|
|
|
|
Added a new function ext2fs_move_blocks which takes a bitmap of the
|
|
blocks to be moved, and moves them to another location on the
|
|
boardboard.
|
|
|
|
Make the unix_io channel's io_channel_flush implementation calls sync()
|
|
to to flush the kernel buffers to disk.
|
|
|
|
Added a new function ext2fs_dblist_count returns the number of
|
|
directory blocks in dblist.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.10 (April 24, 1997)
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs once again defaults to creating revision #0 filesystems, since
|
|
people were complaining about breaking compatibility with 1.2 kernels.
|
|
Warning messages were added to the mke2fs and tune2fs man pages that
|
|
the sparse superblock option isn't supported by most kernels yet (1.2
|
|
and 2.0 both don't support parse superblocks.)
|
|
|
|
Added new flag to mke2fs, -R <raid options>, which allows the user to
|
|
tell mke2fs about the RAID configuration of the filesystem. Currently
|
|
the only supported raid option is "stride" which specifies the width
|
|
of the RAID stripe.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in e2fsck where pass1b would bomb out if there were any
|
|
blocks marked bad in the inode table.
|
|
|
|
Fixed rare bug in mke2fs where if the user had a very unlucky number
|
|
of blocks in a filesystem (probability less than .002) the resulting
|
|
filesystem would be corrupt in the last block group.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug where if e2fsck tried to allocate a block to fix a
|
|
filesystem corruption problem and the filesystem had no free blocks,
|
|
ext2fs_new_block() would loop forever.
|
|
|
|
The configure script now checks explicitly to see if "-static" works,
|
|
since that can't be assumed to be true --- RedHat doesn't install
|
|
libc-static by default.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in libext2's block iterator functions where under some
|
|
cirmcustances, file with holes would cause the bcount parameter to the
|
|
callback function to be incorrect. This bug didn't affect any of
|
|
e2fsprogs programs, but it was discovered by Paul Mackerras, the
|
|
author of the PPC boot loader.
|
|
|
|
Removed use of static variables to store the inode cache in libext2fs.
|
|
This caused problems if more than one filesystem was accessed via
|
|
libext2fs (static variables in libraries are generally a bad idea).
|
|
Again, this didn't affect e2fsprogs programs, but it was discovered by
|
|
Paul Mackerras.
|
|
|
|
Fixed minor bugs and version code drift to assure that e2fsprogs 1.10
|
|
will compile cleanly with 1.2.13 kernels (even with a.out shared
|
|
libraries!)
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Added new functions to duplicate an ext2 filesystem handle, and its
|
|
associated substructure. New functions: ext2fs_dup_handle(),
|
|
ext2fs_copy_dblist(), ext2fs_badblocks_copy(), ext2fs_copy_bitmap().
|
|
Other structures, such as the io_channel and the inode_cache, now have
|
|
a ref count so that they only get freed when they are no longer used
|
|
by any filesystem handle. (These functions were added as part of the
|
|
development effort for an ext2 resizer).
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.09 (April 14, 1997)
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in mke2fs (really in lib/ext2fs/initialize.c) which was
|
|
accidentally introduced in the 1.08 release. The overhead calculation
|
|
was accidentally removed, which caused ext2fs_initialize() to not
|
|
notice when the filesystem size needed to be adjusted down because
|
|
there wasn't enough space in the last block group.
|
|
|
|
Fixed bug in version parsing library routine; it was always parsing
|
|
the library version string, instead of using the passed-in string.
|
|
|
|
Clarified chattr man page.
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.08 (April 10, 1997)
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
E2fsck 1.07 was very slow when checking very large filesystems with a
|
|
lot of files that had hard links (i.e., news spools). This was fixed
|
|
by seriously revamping the icount abstraction. Added a formal test
|
|
suite for the icount abstraction.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs now has a "-l" option to the "ls" command, which lists the
|
|
inode number, permissions, owner, group, size, and name of the files
|
|
in the directory.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in e2fsck where when a directory had its blocks moved to
|
|
another location during the pass 1b processing, the directory block
|
|
list wasn't updated, so pass 2 wouldn't check (and correct) the
|
|
correct directory block.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will now treat inodes which contain blocks which are claimed by
|
|
the filesystem metadata by treating them as multiply claimed blocks.
|
|
This way, the data in those blocks can be copied to a new block during
|
|
the pass 1b--1d processing.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will attempt to determine the correct superblock number and
|
|
display it in the diagnostic and warning messages if possible.
|
|
|
|
Add support for a new (incompatible) feature, "sparse_super". This
|
|
feature reduces the number of blocks which contain copies of backup
|
|
superblocks and block group descriptors. (It is only an incompatible
|
|
feature because of a bug in ext2_free_blocks.) mke2fs and tune2fs now
|
|
support a new -s option; e2fsck will recognize filesystems built with
|
|
this feature turned on.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now checks the library to make sure is the correct version,
|
|
using new library functions. (This helps to diagnose incorrectly
|
|
installed e2fsprogs distributions.)
|
|
|
|
Dumpe2fs now prints more information; its now prints the the
|
|
filesystem revision number, the filesystem sparse_super feature (if
|
|
present), the block ranges for each block group, and the offset from
|
|
the beginning of the block group.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now distributes the inode and block bitmap blok so that the
|
|
won't be concentrated in one or two disks in RAID/striping setups.
|
|
Also, if the user chooses a 2k or 4k block group, mke2fs will try to
|
|
choose the largest blocks per group that be chosen. (For 2k blocks,
|
|
you can have up to 16384 blocks/group; for 4k blocks, you can have up
|
|
to 32768 blocks/group.) Previously mke2fs would not allow
|
|
specification of more than 8192 blocks per group, even if you were
|
|
using a 2k or 4k block group.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Added a new function ext2fs_create_icount2() which takes a "hint"
|
|
argument. This hint argument presets the icount array with the list
|
|
of inodes which actually need to be in the icount array. This really
|
|
helps to speed up e2fsck.
|
|
|
|
Added a new function ext2fs_icount_validate() which checks the rep
|
|
invariant for the icount structure. This is used mostly for testing.
|
|
|
|
The error mesasage given when a bad inode number is passed to
|
|
test_generic_bitmap to reflect EXT2FS_TEST_ERROR (instead of
|
|
EXT2FS_UNMARK_ERROR).
|
|
|
|
Added a new function ext2fs_set_dir_block which sets the block of a
|
|
dblist entry, given the directory inode and blockcnt.
|
|
|
|
Added a new function ext2fs_get_library_version() which returns the
|
|
current library version, and ext2fs_parse_version_string() which
|
|
returns a version number based on a e2fsprogs version string.
|
|
|
|
The icount functions will return EINVAL if the passed in inode number
|
|
is out of bounds.
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.07 (March 9, 1997)
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
E2fsck is now uses much less memory when checking really large
|
|
filesystems (or rather, filesystems with a large number of inodes).
|
|
Previously a filesystem with 1 million inodes required 4 megabytes of
|
|
memory to store inode count statistics; that storage requirement has
|
|
now been reduced to roughly half a megabyte.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck can now properly deal with bad blocks appearing inside the
|
|
inode table. Instead of trying to relocate the inode table (which
|
|
often failed because there wasn't enough space), the inodes in the bad
|
|
block are marked as in use.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck will automatically try to use the backup superblocks if the
|
|
primary superblocks have a bad magic number or have missing meta-data
|
|
blocks (or meta-data blocks which are out of range).
|
|
|
|
E2fsck's pass 3 has been made more efficient; most noticeable on
|
|
filesystems with a very large number of directories.
|
|
|
|
Completely revamped e2fsck's system of printing problem reports. It
|
|
is now table driven, to make them more easily customizeable and
|
|
extendable. Error messages which can be printed out during preen mode
|
|
are now one line long.
|
|
|
|
Fixed e2fsck's filesystem swapping code so that it won't try to swap
|
|
fast symbolic links or deleted files.
|
|
|
|
Fixed e2fsck core dumping when fixing a filesystem which has no
|
|
directories (not even a root directory).
|
|
|
|
Added a check to e2fsck to make sure that the length of every
|
|
directory entry is a multiple of 4 (since the kernel complains if it
|
|
isn't).
|
|
|
|
Added a check to e2fsck to make sure that a directory entry isn't a
|
|
link to the root directory, since that isn't allowed.
|
|
|
|
Added a check to e2fsk to now make sure the '.' and '..' directory
|
|
entries are null terminated, since the 2.0 kernel requires it.
|
|
|
|
Added check to write_bitmaps() to make sure the superblock doesn't get
|
|
trashed if the inode or block bitmap is marked as being block zero.
|
|
|
|
Added checking of the new feature set fields in the superblock, to
|
|
avoid dealing with new filesystem features that this package wasn't
|
|
set up to handle.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a fencepost error in ext2fs_new_block() which would occasionally
|
|
try to allocate a block beyond the end of a filesystem.
|
|
|
|
When the UUID library picks a random IEEE 802 address (because it
|
|
can't find one from a network card), it sets the multicast bit, to
|
|
avoid conflicting with a legitimate IEEE 802 address.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now sets the root directory's owner to be the real uid of the
|
|
user running mke2fs. If the real uid is non-zero, it also sets
|
|
the group ownership of the root directory to be the real group-id of
|
|
the user running mke2fs.
|
|
|
|
Mke2fs now has more intelligent error checking when it is given a
|
|
non-existent device.
|
|
|
|
When badblocks is given the -vv option, it now updates the block that
|
|
it is currently testing on every block.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in fsck where it wouldn't modify the PATH envirnoment
|
|
currently correctly if PATH wasn't already set.
|
|
|
|
Shared libraries now built with dependencies. This allows the shared
|
|
library files to be used with dlopen(); it also makes the transition
|
|
to libc 6 easier, since ld.so can tell which libc a particular shared
|
|
library expects to use.
|
|
|
|
Programmer's notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Added new abstraction (defined in dblist.c) for maintaining a list of
|
|
blocks which belongs to directories. This is used in e2fsck and other
|
|
programs which need to iterate over all directories.
|
|
|
|
Added new functions which test to see if a contiguous range of blocks
|
|
(or inodes) are available. (ext2fs_*_bitmap_range).
|
|
|
|
Added new function (ext2_inode_has_valid_blocks) which returns true if
|
|
an inode has valid blocks. (moved from e2fsck code).
|
|
|
|
Added new function (ext2fs_allocate_tables) which allocates the
|
|
meta-data blocks as part of initializing a filesystem. (moved from
|
|
mke2fs code).
|
|
|
|
Added a new I/O manager for testing purposes. It will either allow a
|
|
program to intercept I/O requests, or print debugging messages to
|
|
trace the activity of a program using the I/O manager.
|
|
|
|
The badblocks_list functions now store the bad blocks in a sorted
|
|
order, and use a binary search to speed up badblocks_list_test.
|
|
|
|
The inode scan function ext2fs_get_next_inode() may now return a soft
|
|
error returns: MISSING_INODE_TABLE and BAD_BLOCK_IN_INODE_TABLE in
|
|
those cases where part of an inode table is missing or there is a bad
|
|
block in the inode table.
|
|
|
|
Added a new function (ext2fs_block_iterate2) which adds new arguments to
|
|
the callback function to return a pointer (block and offset) to the
|
|
reference of the block.
|
|
|
|
Added new function (ext2fs_inode_scan_goto_blockgroup) which allows an
|
|
application to jump to a particular block group while doing an inode
|
|
scan.
|
|
|
|
The badblocks list functions were renamed from badblocks_* to
|
|
ext2fs_badblocks_*. Backwards compatibility functions are available
|
|
for now, but programs should be modified to use the new interface.
|
|
|
|
Some of the library functions were reorganized into separate files to
|
|
reduce the size of some programs which statically link against the
|
|
ext2 library.
|
|
|
|
Put in some miscellaneous fixes for the Alpha platform.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.06 (October 7, 1996)
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Fixed serious bug in e2fsck: if the block descriptors are bad, don't
|
|
smash the backup copies in ext2fs_close(). (The problem was that when
|
|
e2fsck -p discovered the problem, while it was closing the filesystem
|
|
and exiting, it was also blowing away the backup superblocks on the
|
|
disk, which was less than friendly.) We now make it the case that we
|
|
only write out the backup superblock and the back block descriptors if
|
|
the filesystem is completely free from problems.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in block_interate in the lib/ext2fs library which caused
|
|
e2fsck to fail on GNU Hurd-created filesystems.
|
|
|
|
Add support for Linux/FT's bootloader, which actually uses
|
|
EXT2_BOOT_LOADER, and sets its mode bits which caused e2fsck to want
|
|
to clear the inode.
|
|
|
|
Add support for the "A" (no atime update) attribute. (Note: this
|
|
attribute is not yet in production kernels.)
|
|
|
|
The test suite is not automatically run when doing a "make all" from
|
|
the top level directory. Users should manually run "make check" if
|
|
they wish to run the test suite.
|
|
|
|
Upon a preenhalt(), make the printed message more explicit that
|
|
running e2fsck "MANAULLY" means without the -p or -a options.
|
|
|
|
In e2fsck, if a disconnected inode is zero-length, offer to clear it
|
|
instead of offering to connect it to lost+found.
|
|
|
|
In e2fsck, if a filesystem was just unmounted uncleanly, and needs
|
|
e2fsck to be run over it, change e2fsck to explicitly display this
|
|
fact.
|
|
|
|
For dumpe2fs and e2fsck, cause the -V option to print out which
|
|
version of the ext2fs library is actually getting used. (This will
|
|
help detect mismatches of using a 1.06 utility with a 1.05 library,
|
|
etc.)
|
|
|
|
Programmers' notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
EXT2_SWAP_BYTES was changed to EXT2_FLAG_SWAP_BYTES, which better fits
|
|
the naming convention.
|
|
|
|
In ext2fs_initialize(), make sure the description for the inode bitmap
|
|
is correctly initialize.
|
|
|
|
Fixed minor type typo in ext2fs_allocate_generic_bitmap();
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.05 (September 7, 1996)
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
Add support for new fields in the ext2 superblock --- volume name,
|
|
volume UUID, and last mounted field. Dumpe2fs displays these fields,
|
|
tune2fs and mke2fs allows you to set them. E2fsck will automatically
|
|
generate a UUID for those volumes that don't have them.
|
|
|
|
Put in support for e2fsck to recognize HURD specific ext2 features ---
|
|
most notably, the translator block. The e2fsprogs tools will now use
|
|
the creator_os field in the superblock to correctly handle different
|
|
OS-specific variants of the ext2 filesystem.
|
|
|
|
E2fsck now fixes inodes which have a the deletion time set, but which
|
|
have a non-zero i_link_count field by offering to clear the deletion
|
|
time. Previously e2fsck assumed that the inode was deleted (per 0.3c
|
|
ext2 kernel behavior) and offered to unlink the file.
|
|
|
|
If e2fsck sets the clean bit, but nothing else, set the exit code
|
|
FSCK_NONDESTRUCT. After all, e2fsck did fix a filesystem error --- it
|
|
set the filesystem valid bit when it was previously cleared. :-) This
|
|
was needed to make the HURD fsck driver happy.
|
|
|
|
If the user refuses to attach an unattached inode, e2fsck will no
|
|
longer set the inode's link count. Otherwise, the inode would end up
|
|
getting marked as unused, which might cause loss of data later.
|
|
|
|
Make the message issued by e2fsck when the superblock is corrupt less
|
|
confusing for users. It now mentions that another reason for the
|
|
"corrupt superblock" message might be that the partition might not be
|
|
an ext2 filesystem at all (it might swap, msdos filesystem, ufs, etc.)
|
|
|
|
Make the libext2 library more robuest so that e2fsck won't coredump on
|
|
an illegal superblock where the blocksize is zero. (f_crashdisk is
|
|
the test case).
|
|
|
|
By default, create filesystems where the default checkinterval is 6
|
|
months (180 days). Linux servers can be robust enough that 20 reboots
|
|
can be a long, long time.
|
|
|
|
Added configure flag --enable-old-bitops, which forces the bitops to
|
|
use the old (native) bitmask operations. By default on the sparc
|
|
platform, the standard ext2 bit ordering is now used.
|
|
|
|
Added a new feature to e2fsck to byte-swap filesystems; this can be
|
|
used to convert old m68k filesystems to use the standard byte-order
|
|
storage for the superblock, inodes, and directory blocks. This
|
|
function is invoked by using the '-s' option to e2fsck.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs's "dump" command has been enhanced so that it writes out the
|
|
exact size of the file so that the nulls at the end of the file are
|
|
eliminated. The command also accept a new "-p" option which will
|
|
attempt preserve to preserve the ownernship, permissions, and
|
|
file modification/access times.
|
|
|
|
Debugfs has two new options, -f and -R. The -R option allows the user
|
|
to execute a single debugfs command from the command line. The -f
|
|
option allows the user to specify a "command file" containing debugfs
|
|
commands which will get executed.
|
|
|
|
Dumpe2fs now pretty prints the check interval, instead of just
|
|
printing the check interval as a number of seconds.
|
|
|
|
Fix bugs in debugfs: the params command when no filesystem is opened
|
|
no longer causes a core dump. It is now possible to unlink a file
|
|
when a pathame containing a '/' is specified.
|
|
|
|
Tune2fs has a new -C option which sets the number of times the
|
|
filesystem has been mounted.
|

|
|
Fix the chattr '-v' option so that it actually works. Chattr was
|
|
being buggy about the -v option parsing.
|
|
|
|
Programmers' notes:
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
The directory lib/uuid contains a set of library routines to generate
|
|
DCE compatible UUIDs.
|
|
|
|
Extended ext2fs_namei() to handle symbolic links. Added new function
|
|
ext2fs_nami_follow() which will follow last symbolic link in the case
|
|
where the pathname points to a sym link.
|
|
|
|
The ext2fs_block_iterate function will now return the HURD translator
|
|
block, if present. The new flag BLOCK_FLAG_DATA_ONLY will cause the
|
|
iterator to return data blocks only. The ext2fs.h file now defines
|
|
constants BLOCK_COUNT_IND, BLOCK_COUNT_DIND, BLOCK_COUNT_TIND, and
|
|
BLOCK_COUNT_TRANSLATOR, which are the magic values passed in the block
|
|
count field of the iterator callback function.
|
|
|
|
The test script driver now takes an optional second argument, which is
|
|
the test case to be run. This allows you to run a test case without
|
|
needing to run the entire test suite.
|
|
|
|
On Linux ELF systems, install the .so files in the correct places
|
|
(/usr/lib). The .so files must be stored in the same directory as the
|
|
.a files.
|
|
|
|
Fixed miscellaneous HURD compilation issues with header file being
|
|
included in the right order.
|
|
|
|
Fixed debugfs so that it resets optind to zero, not one, since setting
|
|
optind to zero is more correct.

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

|
E2fsprogs 1.03 (March 27, 1996)
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
Change the m68k bit numbering for bitmasks to match the bit numbering
|
|
used by all other ext2 implementations. (This change was requested by
|
|
the m68k kernel development team.)
|
|
|
|
Support (in-development) filesystem format revision which supports
|
|
(among other things) dynamically sized inodes.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in the ext2 library so that an intelligent error is
|
|
returned if mke2fs is run with a ridiculously small number of blocks
|
|
for a partition.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in the ext2 library which required that the device be
|
|
openable in read/write mode in order to determine its size. This
|
|
caused e2fsck -n to require read/write access when it was not
|
|
previously necessary.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in e2fsck which casued it to occasionally fail the test
|
|
suite depending on which version of the floating point library it was
|
|
using.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug in e2fsck so that it now halts with a fatal error when
|
|
certain superblock consistency checks fail. Previously it continued
|
|
running e2fsck, with some potential confusing/damaging consequences.
|
|
|
|
Added new flag to fsck which allows the root to be checked in parallel
|
|
with other filesytems. This is not the safest thing in the world to
|
|
do, but some system administrators really wanted it.
|
|
|
|
Fixed -Wall flames in lib/ss.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E2fsprogs 1.02 (January 16, 1996)
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
Fix to allow e2fsprogs to be compiled on recent 1.3 (pl45+) kernels.
|
|
|
|
Change e2fsck to print statistics of how many non-contiguous files are
|
|
on the system. Note that a file which is larger than 8k blocks, it is
|
|
guaranteed to be non-contiguous.
|
|
|
|
In mke2fs, print a warning message if a user tries to format a whole
|
|
disk (/dev/hda versus /dev/hda1). If a user really wants to format a
|
|
whole disk, the -F (force) option forces mke2fs to format a whole disk
|
|
as a filesytem.
|
|
|
|
Fix a bug in fsck where in some cases it might start checking
|
|
partitions in the next pass before it finishes checking partitions in
|
|
the current pass. This still won't cause two partitions on the same
|
|
disk will be checked, so it's rarely a problem in real life.
|
|
|
|
Patch lsattr so that it won't hang when checking a named pipe.
|
|
|
|
Minor compilation fixes:
|
|
* Fix the order of libraries that were linked in debugfs.
|
|
* Allow the sources to be compiled with -ansi turned on.
|
