Ts'o <tytso@localhost> + + * mke2fs.c (main, zap_bootblock): Added new function + zap_bootblock() which clears the first 512 bytes of the + filesystem. This protects the filesystem from being + misidentified as a MS-DOS FAT filesystem. + + * badblocks.c (alarm_intr, test_ro, test_rw): Increase the space + allocated for printing the block numbers, so that the + display doesn't get corrupted when running badblocks on a + very large partition. + + * badblocks.c (do_test, test_ro, test_rw): Added missing cast to + ext2_loff_t, so that when checking a large device, + spurious seek errors aren't reported. + + * mke2fs.c (count_blocks): Declare mid to be of type ext2_loff_t + instead of type int, so that it works for filesystems + greater than 2 GB. (Fortunately count_blocks is only + called if the device does not support the BLKGETSIZE + ioctl, which most do.) + + * fsck.c (ignore): Add check to ignore filesystems with a pass + number of zero. (This check was accidentally deleted at + during 0.5b development.) + +Sat Dec 31 00:47:16 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu> + + * mke2fs.c (new_table_block, alloc_tables, PRS, main): Add a new + option, -S, which only writes the superblock and group + descriptors. Useful for recovering when all of the + superblocks are corrupted somehow (as a last ditch + measure). + + Also, don't bother initializing the bitmap blocks in + alloc_tables(), since they will be overwritten at the end + anyway. (Should speed up mke2fs by a little.) + +Tue Dec 6 02:20:55 1994 <tytso@rsx-11.mit.edu> + + * fsck.c (main): Fix stupid typo where a null inst would be freed. + + * fsck.c (wait_one): Check WIFEXITED on status before trying to + extract the exit status. In other cases, return + FSCK_ERROR if the back end processor exited with a signal. + +Tue Nov 15 10:20:00 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj> + + * tune2fs.c (main): Fixed a bug which prevented the use of the + new options. + Added the `w' (week) suffix recognition in the check interval. + +Sun Nov 13 15:58:48 1994 (tytso@rsx-11) + + * fsck.c (load_fs_info): If the user has an obviously old + /etc/fstab file, issue a warning message and assume that + all partitions should be checked. + +Sat Nov 12 00:33:18 1994 (tytso@rsx-11) + + * dumpe2fs.c (list_desc): Update to new inode and block bitmap + structures. + + * mke2fs.c (create_root_dir): Create the root directory owned by + the effective uid. + +Mon Nov 7 22:04:37 1994 Remy Card <card@bbj> + + * tune2fs.c (main.c): Added support for new options: + -r reserved_blocks_count, -g reserved_gid, -u reserved_uid. + +Sun Aug 21 00:57:33 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11) + + * fsck.c (ignore): If the pass number is 0, ignore the filesystem. + +Wed Aug 17 21:55:03 1994 Remy Card (card@bbj) + + * badblocks.c (test_rw): Added verbose output like in the + read-only test. + + (do_test and test_rw): Use the llseek system call if available. + + * chattr.c: Added support for new attributes. + + * lsattr.c: Added support for long format. + + * mke2fs.c (usage): Fixed bogus usage message. + + (valid_offset): Use the llseek system call if available. + +Wed Aug 17 10:50:57 1994 Theodore Y. Ts'o (tytso@rt-11) + + * mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Check to see if a bad block is + where a backup superblock/group descriptor is stored. If so, + print a warning message and adjust the superblock counts so that + they are correct. (Otherwise, the bad block will get counted + twice and the # of free blocks count will be wrong.) + + (alloc_tables): Removed code which calcualated the free block + statistics, which was moved to lib/ext2fs/initialize.c. This + allows the bad block code to adjust the group descriptor + statistics if necessary. |
