| version 2.11 |
| ============ |
| |
| - all: don't use own llseek() anymore, glibc lseek() does everything we need |
| - dosfsck: lfn.c: avoid segfault |
| - dosfsck: check.c, lfn.c: check for orphaned LFN slots |
| - dosfsck: check.c alloc_rootdir_entry(): set owner of newly alloced clusters |
| - dosfsck: dosfsck.h: better use <byteswap.h> for byte swapping |
| - dosfsck: io.c: added code for real DOS |
| - mkdosfs: raised FAT12_THRESHOLD from 4078 to 4085, introduced MIN_CLUST_32 |
| - mkdosfs: fix loop device size |
| - mkdosfs: by default, use FAT32 on devices >= 512MB |
| - mkdosfs: fix a memory leak (blank_sector) |
| - mkdosfs: fix parsing of number of blocks on command line, so that numbers |
| >2G can be used |
| - mkdosfs: add 'b' to getopt() string so this option can be used :) |
| - mkdosfs: fix parsing of -i arg (should be unsigned) |
| - mkdosfs: change default permissions of created images (-C) to 0666 & ~umask |
| - mkdosfs: relax geometry check: if HDIO_GETGEO fails, print a warning and |
| default to H=255,S=63 |
| - dosfsck: new option -n (no-op): just check non-interactively, but |
| don't write anything to filesystem |
| - A few #include changes to support compilation with linux 2.6 |
| headers (thanks to Jim Gifford <jim@jg555.com>) |
| - dosfsck: remove directory entries pointing to start cluster 0, if they're |
| not "." or ".." entries that should actually point to the root dir |
| (pointed out by Thomas Winkler <twinkler@sysgo.de>) |
| - mkdosfs: new option -h to set number of hidden sectors |
| (thanks to Godwin Stewart <gstewart@spamcop.net>) |
| - all: updated my mail address everywhere... |
| |
| version 2.10 |
| ============ |
| |
| - dosfsck: various 64-bit fixes and removed some warnings by Michal |
| Cihar <mcihar@suse.cz> |
| - mkdosfs: better error message if called without parameters (also |
| suggested by Michal) |
| |
| version 2.9 |
| =========== |
| |
| - dosfsck: if EOF from stdin, exit with error code |
| - dosfsck: Fix potential for "Internal error: next_cluster on bad cluster". |
| - dosfsck: When clearing long file names, don't overwrite the dir |
| entries with all zeros, but put 0xe5 into the first byte. |
| Otherwise, some OSes stop reading the directory at that point... |
| - dosfsck: in statistics printed by -v, fix 32bit overflow in number |
| of data bytes. |
| - dosfsck: fix an potential overflow in "too many clusters" check |
| - dosfsck: fix 64bit problem in fat.c (Debian bug #152769) |
| - dosfsck: allow FAT size > 32MB. |
| - dosfsck: allow for only one FAT |
| - dosfsck: with -v, also check that last sector of the filesystem can |
| be read (in case a partition is smaller than the fs thinks) |
| - mkdosfs: add note in manpage that creating bootable filesystems is |
| not supported. |
| - mkdosfs: better error message with pointer to -I if target is a |
| full-disk device. |
| |
| version 2.8 |
| =========== |
| |
| - dosfsck: Fixed endless loop whenever a volume label was present. |
| |
| version 2.7 |
| =========== |
| |
| - dosfsck: Don't check volume label for bad characters, everything |
| seems to be allowed there... Also ignore duplicate names where one of |
| them is a volume label. |
| |
| version 2.6 |
| =========== |
| |
| - mkdosfs: Added correct heads definition for 2.88M floppies if not |
| created via loopback. |
| - dosfsck: If boot sector and its backup are different (FAT32), offer |
| to write the backup to sector 0. (tnx to Pavel Roskin for this) |
| - For 64 bit alpha, struct bootsector in dosfsck.h must be defined |
| with __attribute__((packed)). |
| - mkdosfs now actually accepts -R option. (tnx to David Kerrawn) |
| - Fixed typo in dosfsck boot.c (recognition of boot signature in FSINFO) |
| - Various compilation fixes for 2.4 kernel headers and for ia64. |
| |
| version 2.5 |
| =========== |
| |
| - The llseek() implementation for alpha didn't really work; fixed it. |
| |
| version 2.4 |
| =========== |
| |
| - Fix compiling problem on alpha (made a silly typo...) |
| |
| version 2.3 |
| =========== |
| |
| - mkdosfs: Fixed usage message (printed only "bad address"). |
| - both: made man pages and usage statements more consistent. |
| - both: fix llseek function for alpha. |
| - dosfsck: fix reading of unaligned fields in boot sector for alpha. |
| - dosfsck: fixed renaming of files (extension wasn't really written). |
| |
| version 2.2 |
| =========== |
| |
| - Added dosfsck/COPYING, putting dosfsck officially under GPL (Werner |
| and I agree that it should be GPL). |
| - mkdosfs: Allow creation of a 16 bit FAT on filesystems that are too |
| small for it if the user explicitly selected FAT16 (but a warning |
| is printed). Formerly, you got the misleading error message "make |
| the fs a bit smaller". |
| - dosfsck: new option -y as synonym for -y; for compability with |
| other fs checkers, which also accept this option. |
| - dosfsck: Now prints messages similar to e2fsck: at start version |
| and feature list; at end number of files (and directories) and |
| number of used/total clusters. This makes the printouts of *fsck at |
| boot time nicer. |
| - dosfsck: -a (auto repair) now turns on -f (salvage files), too. -a |
| should act as non-destructive as possible, so lost clusters should |
| be assigned to files. Otherwise the data in them might be |
| overwritten later. |
| - dosfsck: Don't drop a directory with lots of bad entries in |
| auto-repair mode for the same reason as above. |
| - dosfsck: avoid deleting the whole FAT32 root dir if something is |
| wrong with it (bad start cluster or the like). |
| - general: also create symlinks {mkfs,fsck}.vfat.8 to the respective |
| real man pages. |
| |
| version 2.1 |
| =========== |
| |
| - Fix some forgotten loff_t's for filesystems > 4GB. (Thanks to |
| <ki@kretz.co.at>). |
| - Fix typo in mkdosfs manpage. |
| - Removed inclusion of <linux/loop.h> from mkdosfs.c; it's unnecessary and |
| caused problems in some environments. |
| - Fix condition when to expect . and .. entries in a directory. (Was |
| wrong for non-FAT32 if first entry in root dir was a directory also.) |
| - Also create mkfs.vfat and fsck.vfat symlinks, so that also |
| filesystems listed with type "vfat" in /etc/fstab can be |
| automatically checked. |
| |
| version 2.0 |
| =========== |
| |
| - merge of mkdosfs and dosfstools in one package |
| - new maintainer: Roman Hodek <Roman.Hodek@informatik.uni-erlangen.de> |
| - FAT32 support in both mkdosfs and dosfsck |
| - VFAT (long filename) support in dosfsck |
| - Support for Atari variant of MS-DOS filesystem in both tools |
| - Working support for big-endian systems in both tools |
| - Better support for loop devices in mkdosfs: usual floppy sizes are |
| detected and media byte etc. set accordingly; if loop fs has no |
| standard floppy size, use hd params |
| (mainly by Giuliano Procida <gpp10@cus.cam.ac.uk>) |
| - Removed lots of gcc warnings |
| - Fixed some minor calculation bugs in mkdosfs. |
