Addresses Debian Bug: #357951 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2005-04-16Fix spelling mistakes in man pages. (Addresses Debian Bugs: #304591, Theodore Ts'o1-2/+2
#304592, #304594, #304597, #304593)
2004-09-28Document the default blocksize used by badblocks(8).Theodore Ts'o1-2/+3
(Addresses Debian Bug #273679)
2004-02-28badblocks.c (main): Change the default number of blocks testedTheodore Ts'o1-14/+1
at once from 16 to 64. (Addresses Debian bug #232240)
2003-05-18badblocks.c: Use an unsigned integer to support 4-byte testTheodore Ts'o1-7/+12
patterns with the high bit set. Let the user explicitly specify a random pattern with the argument "random".
2003-05-07badblocks.c, badblocks.8.in: Functional enhancements contributedTheodore Ts'o1-0/+17
by Thayne Harbaugh. These patches allow the -t option to control the test pattern(s) used when checking the disk. Test patterns may be specified in all modes (r/w, r/o and non-destructive).
2003-01-29Fixed up minor documentation issues (man page for badblocks and usageTheodore Ts'o1-1/+1
message for e2fsck).
2002-08-17fsck.c (main): If no filesystems are specified on the commandTheodore Ts'o1-2/+2
line, default to -As. (Addresses Debian Bug #153102) badblocks.8.in: Clarify why it's bad to do a non-destructive test on a r/o mounted filesystem. (Addresses Debian Bug #131350)
2002-02-23Update with the Debian package e2fsprogs-1.26-1.Theodore Ts'o1-6/+10
Clarify and clean up the badblocks man page and the com_err info file.
2001-12-24In mke2fs and e2fsck, specifying the -c option twice will now doTheodore Ts'o1-0/+22
a read/write test on the disk. Update the man pages to encourage using the -c option, and to discouraging running badblocks separately, since users tend to forget to set the blocksize when running badblocks.

badblocks.8.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in, mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Fix typo; removed excess "anonymous" in the AVAILABILITY section.
2001-05-05ChangeLog, badblocks.8.in, badblocks.c:Theodore Ts'o1-6/+8
badblocks.8.in: Fixed man page to describe the first optional parameter to badblocks as last_block, instead of num_blocks. (Debian nbug #87216) badblocks.c: Change the blocks_count variable to be last_count, which is a more accurate description of the variable.
2001-05-03ChangeLog, dumpe2fs.8.in, dumpe2fs.c:Theodore Ts'o1-2/+2
dumpe2fs.c (main): Add new flag, -i, which will allow dumpe2fs to dump out the filesystem statistics from an ext2 image file. Many files: e2image.8.in: New manual page badblocks.8.in, e2label.8.in, mke2fs.8.in mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update location of e2fsprogs to be http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
2000-07-13ChangeLog, badblocks.8.in, badblocks.c:Theodore Ts'o1-3/+9
badblocks.8.in: Added text explaining that the -n and -w options are mutually exclusive. badblocks.c (usage): Fix usage message to make it clear that the block count must be specified if the starting block is to be specified. (The starting block should be a option, in the long run.) badblocks.c (test_nd): Save and restore the currently_testing variable before going into the write verification loop. This avoids a loop termination problem if the last block on the disk is bad. Also, turn off the SIGALRM signal while restoring blocks after the user types ^C. The num_saved variable is now static so that it won't get clobbered by a longjmp. buf_used and bb_count are no longer static, since they aren't used by the cleanup routines anymore. badblocks.c (main): Removed an unsued varaible (buf_size). Fixed bad getopt argument that didn't allow the 'b' option to take an argument. Added error checking when parsing the starting block number. Fixed lint warning in fscanf format string.
2000-07-06ChangeLog, badblocks.8.in, badblocks.c:Theodore Ts'o1-1/+10
badblocks.c (check_mount, main): Check to see if the filesystem is mounted before doing a read/write or non-destructive test. This can be overriden using the new -f option. badblocks.8.in: Added documentation for the -f option.
2000-07-06ChangeLog, badblocks.8.in, badblocks.c:Theodore Ts'o1-2/+9
badblocks.8.in: Update manual page to reflect that the blocks-count parameter is now optional. Also properly document the start-block parameter. badblocks.c (main): Allow the blocks-count parameter to be optional. If it's not specified, use the size of the device as a default.
2000-06-12badblocks.8.in:Theodore Ts'o1-4/+2
Update man page explanation for badblocks. Update man page's explanation for the -c option.
2000-04-03ChangeLog, badblocks.8.in, badblocks.c:Theodore Ts'o1-6/+39
badblocks.8.in: Updated manual page with suggestions from David Beattie. badblocks.c (test_nd): Generalized cleanup and bug-fixes. We now explicitly clear out the signal handlers to prevent a longjmp to a deactivated stack frame. (test_rw): Fixed a signed vs. unsigned comparison error.

badblocks.8.in, chattr.1.in, dumpe2fs.8.in, lsattr.1.in, mklost+found.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update Remy Card's e-mail address. chattr.1.in: Update which attributes aren't supported.
2000-02-06ChangeLog, badblocks.8.in, badblocks.c:Theodore Ts'o1-10/+30
badblocks.c: Fix non-destructive read/write patches from David Beattie. Non-standard variable-length automatic arrays removed. Non-destrutive write test fixed so that logic is clearer and more provably correct. (I believe the old code had a bug where the disk data wasn't restored if it was interrupted at the wrong time.) badblocks.8.in: Document new options in man page.

e2label.c: Fix -Wall warning by making functions static. chattr.1.in: Document that the append-only attribute may only be set or cleared by the superuser. Update all manual pages to that the availability section is up-to-date. e2label.8.in, tune2fs.8.in: Update manual page to state that labels must be no longer than 16 characters, or they will be truncated. e2label.c (change_label), tune2fs.c (main): If the label is longer than 16 characters, print a warning message stating that the label will be truncated. mke2fs.c (PRS): If the user specifies a filesystem size, and it's larger than the apparent size of the device, print a warning message and ask if the user wants to proceed.
1998-02-16ChangeLog, badblocks.8.in, mke2fs.c:Theodore Ts'o1-1/+5
badblocks.8: Update documentation to note that output format of badblocks is suitable for use with e2fsck -l or mke2fs -l. mke2fs.c (handle_bad_blocks): Fix bug so that all groups with bad superblock backup blocks are printed (not just the first one).

resize2fs.h: If EXT2_FLAT_INCLUDES is defined, then assume all of the ext2-specific header files are in a flat directory. ext2_block_move.c, ext2_inode_move.c, extent.c, resize2fs.c, resize2fs.h: Rename variables named "new" to "new_block", "new_inode", or "new_loc" to avoid C++ reserved word clash. ext2_block_move.c, ext2_inode_move.c, extent.c, resize2fs.c, sim_progress.c: Use ext2fs_get_memory(), ext2fs_free_memory(), et. al., instead of malloc() and free(). ext2_block_move.c, ext2_inode_move.c, extent.c: Explicitly cast all assignments from void * to be compatible with C++. banalysis.c, banalysis.h, ext2_inode_move.c, ext2_block_move.c: Change private to priv_data to avoid C++ namespace clash. ChangeLog, badblocks.8.in: badblocks.8.in: Add documentation for the -s option.
