2002/05/10 Andreas Dilger <adilger@clusterfs.com> * ext2resize 1.1.18 released * Add support for ext3 online resizing. Enable ext2prepare to set up the reserved inode for ext3 and new ext2 resize code. 2001/12/10 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> * Support LARGEFILE compat flag. 2001/04/17 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> * Add text to documentation telling users to enable CONFIG_EXT2_RESIZE in order for the kernel code to be enabled. This is needed because the kernel patch is designed for addition into the stock kernel. * Add message to ext2online when EINVAL is returned from mount, or ENOTTY is returned from ioctl. This probably means that the kernel patch has not been applied or is not activated. 2001/03/27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> * Make the resize inode part of the fs struct, so it is consistent everywhere that it is used. * Add the FL_IOCTL flag to signal that the filesystem needs/understands the IOCTL method of in-kernel resizing. This is required for ext3, but future ext2 kernel patches will use this as well. The old user-space I/O method will continue to be supported by the user tools. 2001/03/15 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> * Fix (harmless) bug where we couldn't shrink a non-sparse filesystem. Some extra safety checks were off-by-one for groups with superblocks. * Fix minor bug where we would fail to add the last group with < 50 blocks after the inode table. Changed test to be the same as in ext2_open() where it checks for < 50 free blocks in the last group. * Add "sync", "nodev", and "noexec" to mount options to discard. * Add e2fsck check _before_ first resize for testresize.sh. * ext2resize 1.1.17 released 2001/02/14 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> * Update kernel patches: - remove all shrinking code, it will never? happen online - fix OOPS in 2.4 kernel patch because of FDATASYNC changes - remove 2.4 kernel COMPAT patch - it is in official kernel now * Minor changes elsewhere in tools. For users of ext2resize-1.1.15 there is no need to update their packages. No bugs have been fixed (no bugs are known at this time, other than the lack of support for non-ix86 platforms). * ext2resize 1.1.16 released 2000/10/14 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> * Changed calculations for locations of block and inode bitmaps, so that we can support filesystems with RAID strides (which put these bitmaps _after_ the inode table). This also helps recover from some forms of interrupted resize. * Enabled ext2resize to work with ext3 filesystems. * Work towards ext2online to work with ext3 filesystems. * Make the backup superblocks at the start of their respective blocks, rather than 1024 bytes offset from the start (oops)... * Dynamically allocate group descriptors to avoid problems when shrinking large filesystems. * Check if the bad-blocks inode has any blocks in it - we do not currently handle bad blocks in a filesystem, so we refuse to use any filesystem like this * ext2resize 1.1.15 released (finally). 2000/03/27 Andreas Dilger <adilger@home.com> * Fixed problem with online resizing rev 0 filesystems, caused by changes made to support sparse-super filesystems. * Updated 2.3 kernel patch for 2.3.99-pre3 * ext2resize 1.1.14 released. 2000/03/08 Lennert Buytenhek <buytenh@gnu.org> * Incorporated ext2online patch from Andreas. * Incorporated the online ext2 resize kernel patches from Andreas. * ext2resize 1.1.13 released. 2000/01/03 Lennert Buytenhek <lbuijten@cs.leidenuniv.nl> * ext2resize 1.1.12 released. 1999/10/14 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca> * Added Unix I/O calls to do direct read/write of data, bypassing the buffer cache, to avoid overwriting other data in a block on a mounted filesystem that may have changed since the block was read into memory. [AED] * Added start of support for EXT2_DYNAMIC_REV filesystems (which are the default for e2fsprogs 1.15 and later). * Finished ext2online filesystem growing capability. 1999/12/31 Lennert Buytenhek <lbuijten@cs.leidenuniv.nl> * Added support for ext2 filesystems with the 'filetype' option enabled. * ext2resize 1.1.11 released. 1999/10/10 Lennert Buytenhek <lbuijten@cs.leidenuniv.nl> * Changed the ChangeLog format. * Added sparse superblock support to the ext2 create code and killed some bugs. * The ext2 create code now uses default values for fs parameters if you pass it -1. * ext2resize 1.1.10 released. 1999/10/08 Lennert Buytenhek <lbuijten@cs.leidenuniv.nl> * Told automake to install the man pages. * Finished the ext2 create code. It needs some more testing but it seems to work. * ext2resize 1.1.9 released. 1999/10/05 Lennert Buytenhek <lbuijten@cs.leidenuniv.nl> * Added some experimental code for creating ext2 filesystems. Be careful. * ext2resize 1.1.8 released. 1999/10/02 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca> * Added man pages for ext2online(8) and ext2prepare(8). [AED] 1999/09/30 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca> * Changed ext2_bcache_flush_range() parameters to use start,size instead of start,end because this is how all of the other functions get parameters, and ext2_bcache_flush_range() was being called in this manner already. [AED] 1999/09/24 Andreas Dilger <adilger@enel.ucalgary.ca> * Changed ext2_commit_metadata() function to allow writing either superblock or group descriptor blocks for the primary and backup copies separately.
