f30c53e5 SP |
2 | |
3 | Changes between versions 0.4b39 and 0.4b40 (released ????????????????) | |
4 | ====================================================================== | |
5 | ||
6 | 1. Changed restore to emit warnings (instead of emitting a fatal | |
7 | error) if a file (or a directory) is unavailable for a | |
8 | comparision (if the user doesn't have the necessary permissions | |
9 | to access it for example). Thanks to Kenneth Porter | |
10 | <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug report. | |
35ed8cf8 | 11 | |
979da669 SP |
12 | 2. Re-done the 'do not save directory entries to non-dumped inodes |
13 | (excluded from dump)' feature. The previous implementation | |
14 | worked well for excluded directories but not for regular files. | |
15 | Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug | |
16 | report. | |
17 | ||
1ba0c4bb SP |
18 | 3. Fixed a bug in dump where the tape size was miscalculated when |
19 | the user used -d/-s to specify the tape characteristics. Thanks | |
20 | to Philip Goisman <goisman@physics.arizona.edu> for reporting | |
21 | the bug. | |
22 | ||
debbffbc SP |
23 | Changes between versions 0.4b38 and 0.4b39 (released January 21, 2005) |
24 | ====================================================================== | |
35ed8cf8 SP |
25 | |
26 | 1. The newly added dump_on_cd_3 example was buggy, replace it | |
27 | with an updated version from Andrew Basterfield | |
28 | <bob@cemetery.homeunix.org>. | |
b79d20f1 | 29 | |
30e8407d SP |
30 | 2. Made restore to chdir() back into the initial directory when |
31 | dumping core while aborting a comparision operation. The | |
32 | previous behaviour was to write the corefile at the root of | |
33 | the directory being compared, which could very well be | |
34 | read only and preventing the corefile generation. Thanks | |
35 | to Kenneth Porter <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug report. | |
36 | ||
b43981b3 SP |
37 | 3. Silenced the failure to call fgetflags() when comparing an |
38 | entry which has no ext2 attributes (as in lsattr()). | |
39 | ||
68415469 SP |
40 | 4. Fix a brown paper bug in restore -C which broke restore and |
41 | caused modifications on the filesystem being compared | |
42 | (directories containing a file with the same name as the | |
43 | directory get renamed to RSTTMP...). Thanks to Kenneth Porter | |
44 | <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for finding the bug and helping me | |
45 | reproduce it. | |
46 | ||
18dc6e86 SP |
47 | 5. Made restore -C force the -N flag (no writing allowed on |
48 | the disk) in order to prevent more bugs like the above one. | |
49 | ||
cdd136ec SP |
50 | Changes between versions 0.4b37 and 0.4b38 (released January 7, 2005) |
51 | ===================================================================== | |
b79d20f1 SP |
52 | |
53 | 1. Fix a couple of troff syntax bugs in the man pages. | |
54 | Thanks to Eric Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com> for the patch. | |
d7783603 | 55 | |
0556ca22 SP |
56 | 2. Made restore use either libncurses or libtermcap, depending |
57 | on which one is available at configure time. | |
58 | ||
7d422735 SP |
59 | 3. Fixed restore negative size display bug when comparing a |
60 | dump containing files over 2GB. Thanks to Steve Bonds | |
61 | <sbonds@users.sourceforge.net> for the bug report. | |
62 | ||
585ca01a SP |
63 | 4. Do not save directory entries to non-dumped inodes |
64 | (excluded from dump). This will eliminate the 'missing | |
65 | file' warnings when doing 'restore -C'. | |
66 | ||
241ddca3 SP |
67 | 5. Fix dump crash when backuping a huge (2TB) filesystem, |
68 | due to a bogus calculation on the inode map size. | |
69 | Thanks to Kevin B. Haines <K.B.Haines@rl.ac.uk> for | |
70 | submitting the bug and testing the fix. | |
71 | ||
47acd076 SP |
72 | 6. Fix a problem in restore where the final \0 in the symbolic |
73 | link names could have been lost, generating corrupt filenames. | |
74 | Thanks to Kyle Wilson <kyle.wilson@amd.com> for reporting the | |
75 | bug. | |
76 | ||
741eb204 SP |
77 | 7. Implemented a hash list for the directory names in restore. |
78 | The linear list used before caused problems in interactive | |
79 | restores when dealing with directories having thousands of | |
80 | entries. Thanks to Brian Ristuccia <bristuccia@starentnetworks.com> | |
81 | for reporting the bug. | |
82 | ||
a55ce914 SP |
83 | 8. Improved restore -C, this time including the directory |
84 | attributes into the comparision. | |
85 | ||
86 | 9. Made restore understand tapes containing EA/ACLs (which will | |
87 | be dumped by the next version of dump). In this version | |
88 | extended attributes on the tape are ignored, for full EA/ACL | |
89 | support wait for the next version or try the experimental EA | |
90 | patch. | |
91 | ||
498a402f SP |
92 | Changes between versions 0.4b36 and 0.4b37 (released July 7, 2004) |
93 | ================================================================== | |
d7783603 SP |
94 | |
95 | 1. Added the --enable-staticz configure option which enables | |
96 | dump and restore to be linked with static versions of | |
97 | libz and libbz2 (and dynamic versions of all other libraries). | |
98 | This will make Debian users happy, because libz and libbz2 | |
99 | were the only needed libraries living in /usr, all the | |
100 | others live in /lib. In case of system emergency, it is | |
101 | better not to have to rely on an extra filesystem. | |
102 | Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for the suggestion. | |
e0267986 | 103 | |
b3f55532 SP |
104 | 2. Fix compilation on (at least the Linux Debian port to) AMD64. |
105 | (<ext2fs/ext2_types.h> defines some types (__s64 and __u64) | |
106 | that are also defined by <linux/types.h> (<asm/types.h>) and | |
107 | they conflict). | |
108 | ||
1f2c193e SP |
109 | 3. Make dump's reading of the dumpdates file a bit more robust, |
110 | preventing dump from crashing when the dumpdates file has | |
111 | been modified by hand. | |
112 | ||
e1e4be20 SP |
113 | 4. Fixed some offset calculations in dump code which could |
114 | lead to "bread lseek errors" on large filesystems. Thanks | |
115 | to Bruce Lowekamp <lowekamp@users.sourceforge.net> for | |
116 | reporting this bug and debugging the issue. | |
117 | ||
c9e4e868 SP |
118 | 5. Made dump use the blkid library when searching for devices |
119 | by label or uuid instead of dump's own routines. | |
120 | ||
97be3358 SP |
121 | 6. Corrected a bug in dump where a wrong LABEL=... line in |
122 | /etc/fstab could prevent dump from dumping unrelated | |
123 | filesystems. Thanks to Bruce Lowekamp | |
124 | <lowekamp@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug. | |
125 | ||
ddf54486 SP |
126 | Changes between versions 0.4b35 and 0.4b36 (released April 21, 2004) |
127 | ==================================================================== | |
e0267986 SP |
128 | |
129 | 1. Fixed dump compilation with old gcc versions. Thanks to | |
130 | Mike Castle <dalgoda@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch. | |
8ad151aa | 131 | |
75654eee SP |
132 | 2. Fixed some warnings (howmany, roundup, powerof2 redefined) |
133 | when compiling against a recent glibc version. | |
134 | ||
43e6ea49 SP |
135 | 3. Fixed a bug in restore preventing the read of a dump tape |
136 | written with Solaris 7 ufsdump. Thanks to Patrick Higgins | |
137 | <phiggins@transzap.com> for reporting the bug and providing | |
138 | the test case. | |
139 | ||
d435f57f SP |
140 | 4. Changed dump to enable the creation of volumes of different |
141 | sizes in a single run (make -B accept a list of values). | |
142 | Patch contributed by Florian Zumbiehl <florz@gmx.de>. | |
143 | ||
e1ba02ef SP |
144 | 5. Use the glibc provided minor() and major() macros instead |
145 | of our own bitmask implementation. This should be safe for | |
146 | when the major/minor namespace will migrate to 32 bits. | |
147 | Thanks to Zhang Jun <zhangjun@nanjing-fnst.com> for reporting | |
148 | the bug. | |
149 | ||
ae6919a7 SP |
150 | 6. Made explicit in the dump man page that dump will not create |
151 | a remote file, it will only write to an already existing one. | |
152 | ||
4acaf865 SP |
153 | 7. Another try at making size estimates better again. |
154 | ||
956756f2 SP |
155 | 8. Put back the inconditional running of the end-of-tape |
156 | script which was changed in 0.434 to be run only when -M | |
157 | or multiple -f were NOT specified. Some users rely on this | |
158 | feature even when it is combined with -M/-f. | |
159 | ||
e4e31ce9 SP |
160 | 9. Fixed restore when restoring huge backups (where rstdir... |
161 | temporary files are over 2GB). Thanks to | |
162 | Raphael Jaffey <rjaffey@artic.edu> for reporting this, | |
163 | debugging the issue and making the patch. | |
164 | ||
cc7747eb SP |
165 | 10. Made restore understand FreeBSD UFS2 tapes. Thanks to |
166 | David <vrtin@users.sourceforge.net> for submitting the bug | |
167 | and providing a test case. | |
168 | ||
28ba5cae SP |
169 | 11. Made dump work with an arbitrary integer level (no more 10 |
170 | levels only limitation). Thanks to Matthew | |
171 | <msvincen@midway.uchicago.edu> for the patch. | |
172 | ||
dcac75e9 SP |
173 | Changes between versions 0.4b34 and 0.4b35 (released December 21, 2003) |
174 | ======================================================================= | |
8ad151aa SP |
175 | |
176 | 1. Added a note in the dump man page saying that the default | |
177 | blocksize can be 32 if -d is used with a high density argument. | |
178 | Thanks to Antonios Christofides <A.Christofides@itia.ntua.gr> | |
179 | for the patch. | |
ed194aec | 180 | |
008af419 SP |
181 | 2. Fixed configure to correctly understand CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, |
182 | LDFLAGS environment variables. Thanks to Arcady Genkin | |
183 | <antipode@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug. | |
184 | ||
0d4dfd07 | 185 | 3. Made -e/-E options of dump accept an unlimited number of inodes |
67793be0 SP |
186 | to be excluded, rather than a hardcoded maximum. Thanks to |
187 | Dietrich Rothe <d-rothe@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch. | |
188 | ||
0d4dfd07 SP |
189 | 4. Updated the autoconf system to 2.50. Forced the -D_BSD_SOURCE |
190 | and -D_USE_BSD_SIGNAL defines in configure in order to solve | |
191 | 64bit build problems because quad_t is redifined with a | |
192 | different signature. Thanks to Mike Harris <mharris@redhat.com> | |
193 | for reporting this bug. | |
194 | ||
5d8d264f | 195 | 5. Made restore build on Solaris, making possible to |
d1925e0c SP |
196 | restore Linux's "enhanced" tapes. Thanks to Uwe Gohlke |
197 | <uwe@ugsoft.de> for the patch. | |
198 | ||
199 | 6. Made an extension in the dump tape format capable of saving | |
200 | MacOSX specific inode extensions. Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de> | |
201 | wrote the extension and contributed the restore code back | |
202 | into this codebase. The same extension mechanism will be | |
203 | used in the future to save ACLs... | |
204 | ||
205 | 7. Made rmt work correctly with regard to QFA and local/remote | |
206 | files and tapes. The remote access will however work only | |
207 | when the dump provided rmt version is used. If you want to | |
208 | use another rmt server, please do not use the QFA feature. | |
5d8d264f | 209 | Thanks to Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de> for the patch. |
d1925e0c | 210 | |
b564cb84 SP |
211 | Changes between versions 0.4b33 and 0.4b34 (released April 18, 2003) |
212 | ==================================================================== | |
ed194aec SP |
213 | |
214 | 1. Fixed the INSTALL file to reflect the actual install paths. | |
215 | Thanks to David Ronis <ronis@ronispc.chem.mcgill.ca> for | |
216 | reporting the bug. | |
4bb009da | 217 | |
d3e542e7 SP |
218 | 2. Fixed the configure script to only check for headers presence |
219 | instead of trying to compile them. This should fix issues | |
220 | with old build environments. Thanks to Kari Lempiainen | |
221 | <kari@funky.pp.fi> for reporting the bug. | |
222 | ||
1176b3c1 SP |
223 | 3. Fixed restore to correctly ignore sockets when comparing |
224 | a dump (as socket cannot be properly restored anyway). Thanks | |
2d32c89c SP |
225 | to Gunther Reiszig <gunther@mit.edu> for reporting the bug. |
226 | ||
227 | 4. Fixed restore to correctly access the archive file (-A argument) | |
228 | even when using a remote tape. Thanks to Fabrice Bellet | |
229 | <fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting the bug. | |
1176b3c1 | 230 | |
900bffdb SP |
231 | 5. Fixed (again) handling of long (largefile) seeks in rmt. |
232 | Thanks to Fabrice Bellet <fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting | |
233 | the bug. | |
234 | ||
6d834d25 SP |
235 | 6. Fixed restore corner case when dealing with large block sizes |
236 | dump is able to write now (-b 1024). Thanks to Fabrice Bellet | |
237 | <fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting the bug. | |
238 | ||
cdef84ca SP |
239 | 7. Fixed a bug preventing dump to access a filesystem having |
240 | a label exactly 16 bytes in length. Thanks to <minduni@ti-edu.ch> | |
241 | for reporting the bug. | |
242 | ||
3458b64d SP |
243 | 8. Made dump store dump dates using explicit timezones, fixing a |
244 | problem with incremental dumps if the timezone is modified | |
245 | between the dumps. Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for | |
246 | the bug report and the patch. | |
247 | ||
2be77799 SP |
248 | 9. Fixed a bug encountered when dumping individual files (not full |
249 | filesystems or directories) and dangling symbolic links happen | |
250 | to be in the list of files. For as far as dump is concerned, | |
251 | dangling symbolic links are allowed, and are dumped as is. | |
252 | Thanks to Jin-su Ahn <jsahn@ee.snu.ac.kr> for reporting the | |
253 | bug and providing the fix. | |
254 | ||
c3f69f06 SP |
255 | 10. Fixed open and creation modes and permissions for QFA and |
256 | table-of-contents files in dump and restore. Thanks to | |
257 | Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch. | |
258 | ||
259 | 11. Fixed the archive file descriptor handling enabling it to be 0. | |
260 | This can happen in some cases when shell redirections are used. | |
261 | Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch. | |
262 | ||
263 | 12. Delayed the opening of archive file until after suid had been | |
264 | dropped (fixing a possible security issue if dump is suid). | |
265 | Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch. | |
266 | ||
267 | 13. Fixed the 'S' command handling in the rmt client part. | |
268 | Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch. | |
269 | ||
270 | 14. Modified the end-of-tape script handling to print out statistics | |
271 | (and stop the timer) before launching the eot script. Also, the eot | |
272 | script does not get run anymore when using -M (which makes sense) or | |
273 | when multiple tapes are listed on the command line | |
274 | (-f tape0,tape1,tapen) (which also makes sense). | |
275 | Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch. | |
276 | ||
e1abc9ce SP |
277 | 15. Relicensed dump/restore under the 'revised' BSD license, as per |
278 | ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change. | |
279 | ||
206f768c SP |
280 | 16. Added LZO compression to dump. This new compression method has |
281 | the advantage of being super fast, thus not killing tape streaming | |
282 | on slow machines. Thanks to Helmut Jarausch | |
283 | <jarausch@igpm.rwth-aachen.de> for the patch and to | |
284 | Markus Oberhumer <markus@oberhumer.com> for giving special permission | |
285 | to include his miniLZO project (GPL licensed) in dump/restore. | |
286 | ||
e2392789 SP |
287 | 17. Some small buffer overruns fixes in rmt. Thanks to Antonomasia |
288 | <ant@notatla.demon.co.uk> for reporting the bugs. | |
289 | ||
cdfe1392 SP |
290 | 18. Added a special rmt version which can do encryption when writing |
291 | to tape. Read examples/encrypted_rmt/README for details on | |
292 | how to enable and configure it. Thanks to Ken Lalonde | |
293 | <ken@globalremit.com> for the patch. | |
294 | ||
61e9d4ff SP |
295 | 19. Made dump work with 2.5 kernel end of tape early warning semantics. |
296 | Thanks to Kai Makisara <Kai.Makisara@kolumbus.fi> for the patch. | |
297 | ||
8c95cc30 SP |
298 | 20. Fixed a bug which caused dump -w|-W not to work anymore, because |
299 | the fs_freq and fs_passno fields in /etc/mtab are always set | |
300 | to 0 0. Thanks to Trent Piepho <xyzzy@speakeasy.org> for | |
301 | reporting the bug. | |
302 | ||
cbdba727 | 303 | Changes between versions 0.4b32 and 0.4b33 (released February 10, 2003) |
4bb009da SP |
304 | ======================================================================= |
305 | ||
306 | 1. Added a note in the restore man page clarifying the question | |
307 | 'set the permissions on the current directory ?' asked by | |
308 | restore at the end of treatment in -i and -x modes. | |
d86089d1 | 309 | |
c898ca7a SP |
310 | 2. Fixed the endianess issues when reading compressed tapes. |
311 | Thanks to Dark Force <daq4th@users.sourceforge.net> for | |
312 | reporting this bug and providing test cases. | |
313 | ||
a028bdc8 SP |
314 | 3. Fixed the "ACL won't be dumped" warning message (which showed |
315 | an extra, unrelated error message). Thanks to Dragan Krnic | |
316 | <dkrnic@lycos.com> for reporting this bug. | |
317 | ||
a8a6a503 | 318 | 4. Made dump look first into /etc/mtab, then into /etc/fstab |
1a886de8 SP |
319 | when searching for filesystem paths. Also fixed some problems |
320 | caused by binding mounts or multiple block device mounts. | |
321 | Thanks to Matus Uhlar <uhlar@fantomas.sk>, Elliott Mitchell | |
a8a6a503 SP |
322 | <ehem@m5p.com>, Greg Edwards <gedwards@users.sourceforge.net>, |
323 | Brian Hoy <brian.hoy@opus.co.nz>. (fixes Debian bugs #147086 | |
324 | and #160305, Sourceforge bugs #618699 and #679832). | |
1a886de8 | 325 | |
3211c85b SP |
326 | 5. Made dump's -I option accept the value '0' meaning all the |
327 | read errors will be ignored. This can be useful when running | |
328 | dump from unattended sessions (like cron jobs). Thanks to | |
329 | John I Wang <jiwang@users.sourceforge.net> for the suggestion. | |
330 | ||
7fcd6df5 SP |
331 | 6. Fixed the output of dump to indicate 'blocks' instead of |
332 | 'tape blocks' in the various messages (blocks are always | |
333 | 1 Kilobyte, tape blocks are 1 BK * '-b' argument), and | |
334 | made it clearly print the current blocksize at the start of | |
335 | a dump. Thanks to Michal Szymanski <msz@astrouw.edu.pl> for | |
336 | the suggestions. | |
337 | ||
5bf65105 SP |
338 | 7. Made rmt understand long (largefiles) seeks. |
339 | ||
dbb649e8 SP |
340 | 8. Fixed build with very old versions of libext2fs, where |
341 | EXT2_FT_* constants were undefined. | |
342 | ||
c92d83ae SP |
343 | 9. Made dump accept the dumpdates path on the command line |
344 | (-D file option) instead of using only the hardcoded one. | |
345 | Thanks to Piete Brooks <pb22@users.sourceforge.net> for the | |
346 | suggestion. | |
347 | ||
1daf06b9 SP |
348 | 10. Enabled rmt, LFS, readline, QFA options by default in |
349 | ./configure. Updated the configure process (new versions | |
350 | of config.guess, config.sub etc). | |
351 | ||
51c11d00 SP |
352 | Changes between versions 0.4b31 and 0.4b32 (released November 15, 2002) |
353 | ======================================================================= | |
d86089d1 SP |
354 | |
355 | 1. Changed dump to use fcntl(F_SETLK) style locking instead | |
356 | of flock() when locking the dumpdates file. With the old | |
357 | locking scheme, a local user having read rights on the | |
358 | dumpdates file could be able to do a Denial of Service attack | |
359 | on dump. In order to lock the dumpdates file with the new | |
360 | scheme, the user would need to have write access on the file. | |
361 | Thanks to Richard Johnson <Richard.Johnson3@ey.com> for | |
362 | reporting the bug (originally a bugtraq post). | |
ba3af39e | 363 | |
2f562f4e SP |
364 | 2. Fixed interactive 'ls' which caused spurious errors warnings |
365 | about 'undefined filetypes' detected. Thanks to Jorgen Ostling | |
366 | <jorgen_ostling@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this | |
367 | bug. | |
368 | ||
1c736b78 SP |
369 | 3. Fixed dump's estimate when dealing with sparse inodes. |
370 | ||

371 | 4. Modified dump to allow setting a blocksize bigger than 32kB |
372 | (raised the limit to 1024kB), because newer hardware needs | |
373 | this for proper operation. Thanks to Dirk Traenapp | |
374 | <dtraenapp@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this. | |

376 | 5. Fixed a bug causing Dump to stop and report an error if an |
377 | inode number in the exclude file was followed by some amount | |
378 | of whitespace. Thanks to Jeffrey Sofferin | |
379 | <sofferin@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this bug. | |

381 | 6. Fixed a bug which caused restore, in some particular cases, |
382 | to ask some 'scary' questions and leave a bunch of RSTTMP | |
383 | directories behind when restoring incremental tapes. Thanks | |
384 | to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for reporting this bug and | |
385 | providing the test cases. | |

387 | 7. Changed the wording when inodes are excluded from dump: |
388 | replaced 'Added inode 7 to exclude list' with | |
389 | 'Excluding inode 7 (resize inode) from dump', as suggested | |
390 | by Elliott Mitchell <ehem@m5p.com> in a Debian bug report. | |

395 | 1. Fixed rmt open flags transmission (GNU's symbolic syntax over | |
396 | rmt) which I broke in 0.4b29. Thanks to Eros Albertazzi | |
397 | <eros@lamel.bo.cnr.it> for reporting the bug. | |

402 | 1. Made dump print out the ext2 logical block number in case of a read | |
403 | error, which can be given as an argument to debugfs' ncheck command, | |
404 | in order to find out the affected inode. Added note about this | |
405 | usage in dump's man page. | |

407 | 2. Fixed a problem in restore when reading tapes written on big | |
408 | endian machines with very old versions of dump. The patch was | |
409 | contributed by George Helffrich <george@geology.bristol.ac.uk>. | |

411 | 3. Fixed the tape length calculation when using large tapes | |
412 | and compression. Thanks to Georg Lippold | |
413 | <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug. | |

415 | 4. Added a new set of examples in dump_on_cd_2 directory, based | |
416 | on dump_on_cd examples but somewhat enhanced, supporting DVD | |
417 | media, and localized in english and german. Thanks to | |
418 | Georg Lippold <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for the new scripts. | |

420 | 5. Made dump save 32 bit UID/GID. Internally, this was achieved |
421 | by switching from the old BSD inode format to the new BSD | |
422 | inode format, which means that the tape format was changed. | |
423 | However, since all restore versions out there should | |
424 | transparently support both inode formats, the change should | |
425 | have no side effects. Thanks to John Yu <jky@cs.bu.edu> for | |
426 | reporting the bug. | |

428 | 6. Fixed a lot of warnings in the code shown when compiling | |
429 | with 'gcc -W'. Thanks to Matthias Andree | |
430 | <matthias.andree@stud.uni-dortmund.de> for reporting this. | |

432 | 7. Fixed a small markup bug in the dump man page. Thanks to |
433 | Eric S. Raymond <esr@minx.thyrsus.com> for submitting the | |
434 | patch. | |
435 | ||
153f9a83 SP |
436 | 8. Rewrote entirely the man pages using the tmac.an macro |
437 | package (Linux man page format) instead of the original BSD | |
438 | format. They should be now cleaner and easier to modify. | |

443 | 1. Fixed a problem in the rmt ioctl command, where ioctl's issued from | |
444 | non Linux clients were misinterpreted. The description of the problem | |
445 | (incompatible numbering in Linux mtio opcodes) is documented at | |
446 | ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/star/README.mtio . Thanks to | |
