35e850a4 SP |
3 | Changes between versions 0.4b20 and 0.4b21 (released January 13, 2001) |
4 | ====================================================================== | |
58d85348 SP |
5 | |
6 | 1. Fixed some bugs in the dump -w|-W logic introduced by | |
7 | the previous version. Thanks to Andreas Dilger | |
8 | <adilger@turbolinux.com> for his help on this one. | |
1099d48c | 9 | |
a23c5022 SP |
10 | 2. Fixed again a compilation problem when using old e2fs |
11 | headers (filesystem label related). Thanks to many users | |
12 | who reported this stupid error. | |
13 | ||
a1158276 | 14 | 3. Fixed a build problem on old lib5 based systems dealing with |
f1266a2f SP |
15 | _PATH_MNTTAB being undefined. Thanks to John Adams |
16 | <johna@onevista.com> for reporting the bug. | |
a1158276 | 17 | |
42bcc624 SP |
18 | 4. Improved the error detection in restore when creating |
19 | the temporary files in TMPDIR. Now restore will corectly | |
20 | report a 'no space left on device' error instead of | |
21 | strange errors which could imply an archive corruption. | |
22 | Thanks to Gabriel Somlo <somlo@cs.colostate.edu> and | |
23 | bgjenero <bgjenero@sympatico.ca> for reporting the bug. | |
24 | ||
88f15c1b SP |
25 | 5. Added the throughput information in dump's progression |
26 | messages. Thanks to Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> | |
27 | for the patch. | |
28 | ||
0bd5aa90 SP |
29 | 6. Use libext2fs's inode scanning routines, which are particularly |
30 | robust when dealing with errors (especially when having some | |
31 | bad blocks on the filesystem). Many thanks to Colin | |
32 | <colin@horizon.com> for reporting the bug, investigating | |
33 | the issues, finding a workaround, writing the patch and | |
34 | fully testing it... (of course, if this patch will break | |
35 | anything, he is to blame for :-)). | |
36 | ||
7ae7e2fd | 37 | 7. Made dump and restore LFS aware. Dump can dump a filesystem |
d6967896 SP |
38 | containing large files, generate a large file on output and |
39 | restore can restore them. This feature is not enabled by | |
40 | default, use --enable-largefile option of configure to enable | |
41 | it (you need to have a LFS aware glibc though). Thanks to | |
42 | Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@suse.de> for submitting the patch, | |
43 | and to Theodore T'so <tytso@valinux.com> for his always | |
44 | useful thoughts. | |
45 | ||
7ae7e2fd SP |
46 | 8. Made dump ask upon a tape write error if it should rewrite |
47 | the current volume (assume this is a bad tape) or if it should | |
48 | assume an end-of-tape condition (useful for tape drives which | |
49 | behaves badly at the end of the tape). Thanks to Andreas | |
50 | Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the suggestion. | |
51 | ||
e93e901d SP |
52 | Changes between versions 0.4b19 and 0.4b20 (released November 10, 2000) |
53 | ======================================================================= | |
1099d48c | 54 | |
bd731171 SP |
55 | 1. Fixed a small compilation problem due to a change |
56 | in the definintion of the struct sigaction in | |
57 | glibc 2.0 / libc5. Thanks to Gunther Schlegel | |
58 | <schlegel@riege.de> for reporting the bug and to | |
59 | Dave Platt <dplatt@snulbug.mtview.ca.us> for suggesting | |
60 | a fix. | |
1099d48c SP |
61 | |
62 | 2. Modified the label and uuid analysis in order to be | |
63 | self-contained (independant of kernel/libc headers). This | |
64 | should fix the compile with older kernel/libc headers and | |
65 | will preserve the functionality. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann | |
66 | <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de> for reporting the bug. | |
67 | ||
1cd75c4c SP |
68 | 3. The 'exclude inode' option, if applied to a directory |
69 | inode, excludes now correctly all the leaves of this | |
70 | directory. Thanks to John R. Dennison | |
71 | <gerdesas@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug. | |
f1d86882 | 72 | |
aec13b2a SP |
73 | 4. Fixed the '-e' option to disable the possibility |
74 | to exclude the root inode (which causes the dumps to | |
75 | be unreadable by restore). Prevented array overflow | |
76 | when multiple -e options are used. | |
77 | ||
8c363e9a SP |
78 | 5. Fixed dump to correctly interpret a filesystem argument |
79 | which is a mountpoint and it is not an absolute path | |
80 | (as specified in the fstab). Thanks to Bernhard R. Erdmann | |
81 | <be@berdmann.de> for reporting the bug. | |
82 | ||
abc63c56 SP |
83 | 6. Made dump able to backup files larger than 2 GB. Note that |
84 | dump still doesn't cope with files larger than 4 GB. | |
85 | ||
2c168f5f SP |
86 | 7. Restore the real uid and gid before invoking an external |
87 | RSH program (big hole when dump or restore is suid root!). | |
88 | ||
6169d840 SP |
89 | 8. Get the values for the default tape device and the location |
90 | of fstab file from the system headers. Thanks to | |
91 | Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch. | |
92 | ||
51b01afe SP |
93 | 9. Made dump -w|-W report all recognized filesystems |
94 | present in either /etc/fstab or /etc/dumpdates, and present | |
95 | the list in the same order as in fstab file. Thanks | |
96 | to Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch. | |
97 | ||
4f4eee3d SP |
98 | 10. Made dump's -a (automatic end of tape detection) the |
99 | default. Specifying one of -B, -c, -d or -s options will | |
100 | override the EOM detection. Thanks to Andreas Dilger | |
101 | <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch. | |
102 | ||
95cd8801 SP |
103 | 11. Save the ext2 filesystem label into the dump volume label. |
104 | Specifying a volume label on the command line (-L option) | |
105 | will override this feature. Thanks to Andreas Dilger | |
106 | <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch. | |
107 | ||
d56b7aa4 SP |
108 | Changes between versions 0.4b18 and 0.4b19 (released August 20, 2000) |
109 | ===================================================================== | |
f1d86882 SP |
110 | |
111 | 1. Fixed the signal handling in dump (which I broke in 0.4b17) | |
112 | which was causing several strange dump failures (dump | |
113 | hanged or segmentation faults etc). | |
ddf0df5b | 114 | |
65bceb9b SP |
115 | 2. Specified the default blocksize in the dump man page. |
116 | ||
57b19d7f SP |
117 | 3. Changed two info messages of restore to be written on stdout |
118 | instead of stderr in order to leave stderr only for errors | |
119 | or warnings. Thanks to Stephen Atwell | |
120 | <satwell@urbana.css.mot.com> for the suggestion. | |
121 | ||
4f94452b SP |
122 | 4. Corrected an off by one calculation which prevented |
123 | dumping a directory having a 1 character name length. | |
124 | Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de> | |
125 | for reporting the bug. | |
126 | ||
79e31865 SP |
127 | 5. Reinforce dump in order to allow only level 0 and no |
128 | -u option when dumping a subdirectory, and document | |
129 | this in the man page. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann | |
130 | <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de> for reporting the bug. | |
131 | ||
9be511dc SP |
132 | 6. Fixed a small harmless bug in restore which caused |
133 | in some conditions hard links to be restored several | |
134 | times (therefore generation some warning messages). | |
135 | Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com> for | |
136 | reporting the bug. | |
137 | ||
3e815572 | 138 | 7. Updated the RPM spec file to the latest RedHat version, |
1d568d1b | 139 | providing FHS packaging and other cosmetic changes. |
1099d48c | 140 | You will need RPM version >= 3.0.5 in order to build the RPM. |
1d568d1b | 141 | |
3e815572 SP |
142 | 8. Updated the configure script to check for libtermcap |
143 | before checking for libreadline, because we need this | |
144 | library in order to compile the readline support. | |
145 | ||
8954518f SP |
146 | 9. Made dump understand the LABEL= and UUID= notation |
147 | both in /etc/fstab and on the command line. Note that | |
148 | you will need the /proc filesystem in order to use | |
149 | these notations. Thanks to Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com> | |
150 | for providing the patch. | |
151 | ||
8cca05cc SP |
152 | Changes between versions 0.4b17 and 0.4b18 (released June 30, 2000) |
153 | =================================================================== | |
ddf0df5b SP |
154 | |
155 | 1. Fixed a potential buffer overflow in restore. Thanks | |
156 | to Stan Bubrouski <satan@fastdial.net> for reporting | |
157 | the bug. | |
30a43325 | 158 | |
64bb207a SP |
159 | 2. Fixed a readline-related bug which prevented |
160 | 'cat DUMPFILE | restore -i -f -' from working. Thanks | |
161 | to Charles Karney <karney@users.sourceforge.net> | |
162 | for the bug report. | |
163 | ||
d572dbfd SP |
164 | 3. Changed a few "panic" into "exit", causing restore to |
165 | be more stable against some attacks (like the last one | |
166 | reported on Bugtraq, although the last version of restore | |
167 | was not vulnerable - just dumped core). Thanks to | |
168 | Andreas Hasenack <andreas@conectiva.com.br> for reporting | |
169 | the bugs to me. | |
170 | ||
882090d1 SP |
171 | 4. Removed the suid-root bit on dump and restore in the |
172 | default build (and generated RPMs). It should be safer | |
173 | now. Users who need the suid-root capabilities in order | |
174 | to make network backups should read first the man page | |
175 | of dump and enable the suid bit manually. | |
176 | ||
5e04cc92 SP |
177 | 5. Added -ltermcap to the compile parameters for restore |
178 | when using readline support, in order to make the compile | |
179 | process work on some systems (SuSE ?). Thanks to | |
180 | Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for reporting the bug. | |
181 | ||
ac443b63 | 182 | Changes between versions 0.4b16 and 0.4b17 (released June 1st, 2000) |
30a43325 SP |
183 | ==================================================================== |
184 | ||
185 | 1. The -F script is called now *only* at the end of a tape, | |
49023a9d | 186 | not at the end of the dump. Thanks to Christian Haul |
30a43325 SP |
187 | <haul@informatik.tu-darmstadt.de> for the bug report. |
188 | ||
d8574d45 SP |
189 | Normally, the device name and the current volume number |
190 | are passed on the command line of the script. However, | |
191 | if you want the old style script (with no arguments | |
192 | passed on the command line), you can enable it in | |
193 | configure with the --enable-oldstylefscript. | |
194 | ||
30a43325 SP |
195 | 2. Use posix signal handling to preserve dump functionality |
196 | with libc5. Thanks to Jeff Johnson <jbj@redhat.com> for | |
197 | the patch. | |
d65ed175 | 198 | |
3d78f5f2 SP |
199 | 3. Made the exit code of restore in case of a 'C'ompare |
200 | command reflect the result of the compare. An exit status | |
201 | of 0 means the dump archive is correct, 1 means tape errors, | |
d8574d45 SP |
202 | 2 means that some files were modified. Thanks to Kenneth Porter |
203 | <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion. | |
3d78f5f2 | 204 | |
d8574d45 | 205 | 4. Made (finally) quotes work in interactive restore. |
386d48c0 | 206 | |
a110deb5 | 207 | 5. Small fixes in order to allow dump to compile with a |
d8574d45 SP |
208 | really old e2fsprogs version. Thanks to Ian Zimmerman |
209 | <itz@speakeasy.org> for the bug report. | |
a110deb5 | 210 | |
c38e5b6a SP |
211 | 6. Add GNU readline capabilities to interactive restore. |
212 | Use configure's --enable-readline flag to enable this feature. | |
d8574d45 SP |
213 | Thanks to Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for the |
214 | suggestion. | |
215 | ||
216 | 7. Do the compare on the fly in restore 'C' mode (this will | |
217 | allow not to exhaust the available /tmp space when | |
218 | ccmparing large files). Thanks to Kenneth Porter | |
219 | <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion. | |
c38e5b6a | 220 | |
107a347c SP |
221 | Changes between versions 0.4b15 and 0.4b16 (released March 11, 2000) |
222 | ==================================================================== | |
d65ed175 SP |
223 | |
224 | 1. Fixed some several duplicate 'DUMP: DUMP:' in the | |
225 | output of dump. | |
d3393043 | 226 | |
cbc94239 SP |
227 | 2. Corrected the estimation of blocks to dump. Note that |
228 | this is still wrong for large directory inodes, due | |
229 | to the size of a BSD directory entry on the tape | |
230 | (estimation is based on the size of the ext2 directory, | |
231 | which is smaller because it doesn't contain the null | |
232 | character at the end). | |
233 | ||
234 | 3. Made dump report the total number of MB written to | |
235 | tape at the end of run. Thanks to W. Reilly Cooley | |
236 | <wcooley@nakedape.cc> for the patch. | |
237 | ||
08db2b86 SP |
238 | 4. Added the -X option to restore giving the possibility |
239 | to read the names of the files to be extracted/listed | |
1a05d45d SP |
240 | from a text file (in addition of the command line). |
241 | Thanks to Dejan Muhamedagic <dejan@quant-x.com> for the | |
242 | patch. | |
08db2b86 | 243 | |
365a7c7c SP |
244 | 5. Added the device name and the current volume number |
245 | as arguments to the end of tape script (dump -F option). | |
246 | ||
24ea1fb9 SP |
247 | 6. Made the multi-volume dump work again (after having |
248 | broken it in 0.4b15). | |
249 | ||
2f7e72ce SP |
250 | Changes between versions 0.4b14 and 0.4b15 (released March 2, 2000) |
251 | =================================================================== | |
d3393043 SP |
252 | |
253 | 1. Added a prompt command in interactive restore mode. Thanks | |
254 | to Andreas Dilger <adilger@home.com> for the patch. | |
d6f78b13 | 255 | |
92a9bf12 SP |
256 | 2. Fixed a buffer overflow problem in dump (caused by |
257 | not checking the size of the filesystem parameter). | |
258 | Thanks to Kim Yong-jun <loveyou@hackerslab.org> for | |
259 | reporting this on Bugtraq (and to several dump users | |
260 | who forwarded me his mail). | |
261 | ||
0d7af9c5 SP |
262 | 3. Added the '-F script' option to dump in order to |
263 | launch a script at the end of each tape (to be used | |
264 | with a tape changer, or to notify the sysadmin by | |
265 | pager etc.). | |
266 | ||
267 | 4. Fixed a bug in restore compare code caused by the changes | |
268 | I made in 0.4b14. | |
269 | ||
270 | 5. Fixed the treatment of options using the old BSD syntax | |
271 | in both dump and restore. | |
272 | ||
688653ea SP |
273 | Changes between versions 0.4b13 and 0.4b14 (released February 10, 2000) |
274 | ======================================================================= | |
d6f78b13 SP |
275 | |
276 | 1. Fixed a bug in dump which may have caused invalid deleted | |
277 | directories to be dumped out if they were deleted after the | |
278 | mapping pass. This could occure on active filesystem and lead | |
279 | to heap corruption (causing dump malfunction in many possible ways). | |
280 | Thanks to Jan Sanislo <oystr@cs.washington.edu> for finding this | |
281 | bug and submitting the patch. | |
ae58c8da | 282 | |
a2c9bd28 SP |
283 | 2. Fixed the handling of the filesystem parameter in dump. A |
284 | '/mnt/disk' parameter caused the disk contents to be dumped, | |
285 | but a '/mnt/disk/' parameter caused the mountpoint directory | |
286 | to be dumped (generally an empty directory). | |
287 | ||
288 | 3. Improved the output of dump in order to tell which directory | |
289 | it is currently dumping (when dumping a subtree). | |
290 | ||
20c345aa SP |
291 | 4. Added the '-e' exclude inode option to dump. Thanks to |
292 | Isaac Chuang <ike@isl.stanford.edu> for contributing with the patch. | |
293 | ||
d8476fa5 SP |
294 | 5. Added a REPORTING-BUGS file in order to provide a guide |
295 | on how to correctly report a bug in dump/restore. | |
296 | ||
c60338a5 SP |
297 | 6. Fixed a restore problem when restoring a hard link to an inode |
298 | having the immutable or append-only attribute set. Thanks to | |
299 | Ambrose Li <acli@mingpaoxpress.com> for submitting the patch. | |
300 | ||
8eb05297 SP |
301 | 7. Fixed a compatibility problem between dumps made on little |
302 | endian machines (the format was correct) and big endian | |
303 | machines (the format was incorrect). This fix break the | |
304 | compatibility with the older dumps made on big endian | |
305 | machines (sparc, m86k, ppc etc). For the first time in | |
306 | linux dump's history (I believe), the dumps made by *BSD, | |
307 | Linux/alpha, Linux/sparc and Linux/x86 are compatible, | |
308 | so interchangeable. Thanks to Rob Cermak | |
309 | <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu> for submitting the bug and | |
310 | helping me test the fix. | |
311 | ||
312 | 8. Fixed the way dump reports the remaining percent/time, if | |
313 | the number of blocks actually dumped exceeds the estimated | |
314 | number of blocks. Thanks to Jean-Paul van der Jagt | |
315 | <jeanpaul@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl> for reporting the bug. | |
316 | ||
d4b74b5c SP |
317 | Changes between versions 0.4b12 and 0.4b13 (released January 21, 2000) |
318 | ====================================================================== | |
2f9a0c5c SP |
319 | |
320 | 1. Small Y2K fix in the man pages :). Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski | |
321 | <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug. | |
322 | ||
6dda05e4 SP |
323 | 2. Removed the requirement to build the RPM as root from the |
324 | spec file. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber | |
325 | <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for submitting this. | |
326 | ||
8d957ae7 | 327 | 3. Fixed a bug in dump related to the 'filetype' feature of ext2fs, |
f346e363 SP |
328 | causing dump to block when dumping really huge filesystems. |
329 | Many thanks to Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for | |
330 | helping me find this bug. | |
331 | ||
8d957ae7 | 332 | 4. Fixed the treatment for an interrupt signal when dump access |
b80c25f8 SP |
333 | the remote tape through RSH. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber |
334 | <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for providing the patch. | |
335 | ||
8d957ae7 SP |
336 | 5. Fixed a bug which was causing dump/restore to display |
337 | garbage characters instead of the remote host name. | |
338 | ||
2f9a0c5c | 339 | Changes between versions 0.4b11 and 0.4b12 (released January 8, 2000) |
df172bbb | 340 | ===================================================================== |
ae58c8da SP |
341 | |
342 | 1. Small fix in the dump man page. Thanks to Thorsten Kukuk | |
343 | <kukuk@suse.de> for submitting the patch. | |
2ed89fda | 344 | |
a29c23cc SP |
345 | 2. Fix for the exit code when using the size estimate option of |
346 | dump. Thanks to Matti Taskinen <mkt@rni.helsinki.fi> for | |
347 | submitting the patch. | |
348 | ||
2e682895 SP |
349 | 3. Handle EINTR in atomical reads/writes in dump, which was causing |
350 | dump to fail on some systems. Thanks to Eric Jergensen | |
351 | <eric@dvns.com> for reporting the bug and submitting the patch. | |
352 | ||
353 | 4. Handle more than 16 characters for the device names in dumpdates. | |
354 | (up to 255 now). Thanks to Rainer Clasen <bj@ncc.cicely.de> for | |
355 | tracking down the problem and proposing the solution. | |
356 | ||
357 | 5. Fixed a bug in dump which prevented the creation of the | |
358 | dumpdates file when doing a 0-level dump without already | |
359 | having a dumpdates file. Thanks to Patrik Schindler | |
360 | <poc@pocnet.net> for reporting the bug. | |
361 | ||
362 | 6. Changed the way dump 'S' flag reports the size estimate | |
363 | from number of blocks into bytes (making it compatible | |
364 | with the Solaris version, and simplifying things for | |
365 | amanda users). Thanks to Jason L Tibbitts III | |
366 | <tibbs@math.uh.edu> for reporting the bug. | |
367 | ||
0d0bc326 SP |
368 | 7. Fixed a compatibility problem in linux/alpha dump tape format. |
369 | Now the linux/alpha dump are (again) compatible with the | |
370 | other dump formats. But this breaks compatibility with | |
371 | older dumps made on alpha. Thanks to Mike Tibor | |
372 | <tibor@lib.uaa.alaska.edu> for helping me in finding this bug. | |
373 | ||
cf9aab8e | 374 | Changes between versions 0.4b10 and 0.4b11 (released December 5, 1999) |

377 | 1. Added a '--enable-kerberos' to configure. | |
5c1faba5 | 378 | |
144a6db1 | 379 | 2. Added a 'S' option to dump which determines the amount of space |
5c729713 | 380 | that is needed to perform the dump without actually doing it, similar |
144a6db1 SP |
381 | to the Sun's ufsdump 'S' option. Patch contributed by Rob Cermak |
382 | <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu>. | |
383 | ||
677ee424 SP |
384 | 3. Added a 'M' multi-volume option to dump and restore which enables |
385 | dumping to multiple files (useful when dumping to an ext2 | |
386 | partition to make several dump files in order to bypass the 2GB | |
387 | file size limitation). The 'f' argument is treated as a prefix and | |
388 | the output files will be named <prefix>001, <prefix>002 etc. With | |
389 | the 'M' flag, restore automatically selects the right file without | |
390 | asking to enter a new tape each time. | |
391 | ||
7fbb9b02 | 392 | 4. Fixed a memory leak which was causing dump to grow very big |
a29c23cc SP |
393 | (270MB when dumping a 10GB filesystem...). Thanks to Jason |
394 | Fearon <jasonf@netrider.org.au> for reporting the bug. | |
7fbb9b02 | 395 | |
27026010 SP |
396 | Changes between versions 0.4b9 and 0.4b10 (released November 21, 1999) |
397 | ====================================================================== | |
5c1faba5 SP |
398 | |
399 | 1. Make configure test if the system glob routines support | |
400 | extended syntax (ALTDIRFUNC). If not, use the internal glob | |
a95c4c36 SP |
401 | routines instead of system ones. Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski |
402 | <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug | |
403 | and helping me resolve this and other minor libc5 compiling | |
404 | glitches. | |
08ebf8d7 | 405 | |
c5886bd7 SP |
406 | 2. Fix a problem when dumping a ext2fs with the 'filetype' |
407 | feature enabled. Thanks to Patrick J. LoPresti | |
408 | <patl@cag.lcs.mit.edu> for reporting the bug and to | |
409 | Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> for providing the patch. | |
410 | ||
4267a8ad SP |
411 | 3. Made the nodump flag work on directories. A directory which |
412 | has the nodump flag gets never dumped, regardless of its | |
413 | contents. | |
414 | ||
c930abff SP |
415 | 4. Integrate a patch from Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> |
416 | which allows dump on an active ext3 filesystem. However, this | |
417 | is a "quick and dirty" patch which enables backup of an ext3 | |
418 | filesystem through the ext2 compatibility (by ignoring the | |
419 | NEEDS_RECOVERY bit). The journal file is not recognized and | |
420 | it is dumped (it should not). | |
421 | ||
422 | 5. Test the superblock compatibility flags when dumping, in order | |
423 | to be sure that we know how to deal with specific features. | |
424 | ||
08ebf8d7 SP |
425 | Changes between versions 0.4b8 and 0.4b9 (released November 5, 1999) |
426 | ==================================================================== | |
427 | ||
428 | 1. Use lchown instead of chown, fixing a possible security problem | |
429 | when restoring symlinks (a malicious user could use this | |
430 | to deliberately corrupt the ownership of important system files). | |
431 | Thanks to Chris Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for detecting | |
432 | this and providing the patch. | |
ec387a12 | 433 | |
c154548c SP |
434 | Changes between versions 0.4b7 and 0.4b8 (released November 3, 1999) |
435 | ==================================================================== | |
ec387a12 | 436 | |
df9ae507 SP |
437 | 1. Put dump sources under CVS, added Id tags in all files so |
438 | one can use 'ident' on binary files. | |
439 | ||
440 | 2. Added the dump/restore version in the usage text so one can | |
441 | easily verify the version he is using. | |
ec387a12 | 442 | |
3072400e SP |
443 | 3. Small patch from Nuno Oliveira <nuno@eq.uc.pt> which fixes |
444 | a va_start/va_end problem on linux-ppc (always call va_start | |
445 | va_end in pairs each time we use a vararg function). | |
446 | ||
fa58b58d SP |
447 | 4. Added again the DT_* constants because old libc does not |
448 | contain them :(. Thanks to Eric Maisonobe <virnet@nat.fr> | |
449 | for submitting the bug report. | |
450 | ||
f34aca37 SP |
451 | 5. Use ext2fs_llseek instead of llseek. With recent e2fsprogs |
452 | this should enable dumping big (huge) filesystems. | |
453 | ||
454 | 6. Added the RSH environment variable in order to be able to | |
0c62667d SP |
455 | use a rsh replacement like ssh when doing remote backups (and |
456 | bypass the security limitations of rcmd). Now you can do remote | |
457 | backups without being root (or making dump setuid root). | |
458 | ||
f34aca37 | 459 | 7. Modified again the way dumpdates works. For incremental dumps, |
60f5ede9 SP |
460 | we need to read dumpdates even if we are not using 'u' option. |
461 | Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for his ideas on how | |
462 | this should work. | |
463 | ||
8d4197bb SP |
464 | Changes between versions 0.4b6 and 0.4b7 (released October 8, 1999) |
465 | =================================================================== | |
466 | ||
467 | 1. Removed the 'k' flag from the restore 'about' text if kerberos | |
468 | was not compiled in. | |
469 | ||
470 | 2. Prototyped (f)setflags from e2fsprogs and corrected the calls | |
471 | to them (fsetflags takes a char*, setflags an open fd!). | |
472 | ||
473 | 3. (f)setflags is called only if the flags aren't empty. If the | |
474 | file is a special file, a warning is printed, because changing | |
475 | flags implies opening the device. Normally, a special file | |
476 | should not have any flag... (Debian bug #29775, patch provided | |
477 | by Abhijit Dasgupta <abhijit@ans.net>). | |
478 | ||
479 | 4. Made possible to dump a file system not mentioned in /etc/fstab. | |
480 | (Debian bug #11904, patch provided by Eirik Fuller <eirik@netcom.com>). | |
481 | ||
482 | 5. Changed the default behaviour to not create dumpdates | |
483 | unless 'u' option is specified. Removed the old "debian-patch" | |
484 | which provided the same thing. (Debian bug #38136, #33818). | |
485 | ||
486 | 6. Removed all those dump*announce, since they were getting old... | |
487 | ||
488 | 7. Added warning messages if dumpdates does not exist and | |
489 | when an inferior level dump does not exist (except for a level 0 | |
490 | dump). | |
491 | ||
492 | 8. Debugged the glob calls in interactive mode: restore used a | |
493 | dirent struct which was different from the /usr/include/dirent.h | |
494 | one (this used to work, is it a glibc2 change?), so none of the | |
495 | compat glob (which used /usr/include/dirent.h) or the system glob | |
496 | worked. Restore use now the system dirent (and the system | |
497 | DT_* constants), which are compatible with BSD ones. | |
498 | ||
499 | 9. Added a configure flag (--with-dumpdatespath) to specify | |
500 | the location of dumpdates file. By default, it is | |
501 | /etc/dumpdates. | |
502 | ||
503 | 10. Added the "AUTHOR" and "AVAILABILITY" sections and | |
504 | included the current date/version in man pages. | |
505 | ||
506 | 11. Corrected the estimation of remaining time when | |
507 | the operator doesn't change the tapes quickly enough. This | |
508 | was an old bug, I thought I corrected it, and discovered | |
509 | that in fact it was corrected in two different places, so | |
510 | the results canceled each other... | |
511 | ||
512 | Changes between versions 0.4b5 and 0.4b6 (released October 1, 1999) | |
513 | =================================================================== | |
ddd2ef55 SP |
514 | |
515 | 1. Integrated multiple patches from RedHat, Debian and SuSE: | |
516 | ||
517 | - tweak dump/itime.c to not try to read dumpdates if the 'u' option | |
518 | isn't specified. | |
519 | - several fixes in the man pages. | |
520 | - update the default tape device to /dev/st0. | |
521 | - many updates for Linux Alpha (byte ordering, size_t etc). | |
522 | - buffer overruns. | |
523 | - use environment variable for TMPDIR (instead of /tmp). | |
524 | - use sigjmp_buf instead of jmp_buf (RedHat bug #3260). | |
525 | - workaround egcs bug (RedHat bugs #4281 and #2989). | |
526 | - wire $(OPT) throughout Makefile's. | |
527 | ||
8d4197bb SP |
528 | 2. Upgrade the dump revision to 1, making possible to dump filesystems |
529 | made with e2fsprogs-1.15 or newer. Nothing seems to break... | |
ddd2ef55 | 530 | |
8d4197bb SP |
531 | 3. Fix some compile warnings, prototype all functions. |
532 | ||
533 | 4. Use glibc err/glob instead of internal compatibility | |
ddd2ef55 SP |
534 | routines (only if available). |
535 | ||
8d4197bb SP |
536 | 5. Fix a compile error on Linux 2.2.7 / libc5 (5.4.44) (patch provided |
537 | by Bernhard Sadlowski <sadlowsk@mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de>). | |
538 | ||
539 | Changes between versions 0.4b4 and 0.4b5 (released September 22, 1999) | |
540 | ====================================================================== | |
b45f51d6 SP |
541 | |
542 | 1. Integrated the changes from FreeBSD-3.1-RELEASE | |
543 | (mostly bug fixes, buffer overruns, dump has now an "automatic | |
544 | tape length calculation" flag, dump/restore can use kerberos now | |
545 | (this is NOT tested), use environment variables for TAPE and | |
546 | RMT etc.). | |
547 | ||
548 | 2. Integrated three RedHat patches ("glibc", "kernel" and "bread" patches) | |
549 | ||
550 | 3. Corrected a bug in restore when using 'C' option with multi-volumes | |
551 | tapes (files splited accros two tapes give "size changed" errors | |
552 | when comparing). | |
553 | ||
554 | 4. Corrected the long standing bug when dumping multiple tapes. | |
555 | This works for me, needs further testing. | |
1227625a | 556 | |
8d4197bb SP |
557 | Changes between versions 0.4b3 and 0.4b4 (released January 17, 1997) |
558 | ==================================================================== | |
1227625a SP |
559 | |
560 | 1. Dump now runs correctly on kernels 2.1.x | |
561 | Fix made by Gerald Peters <gapeters@worldnet.att.net> | |
562 | ||
563 | Changes between versions 0.4b2 and 0.4b3 | |
564 | ======================================== | |
565 | ||
566 | 1. Use realpath() if available | |
567 | ||
568 | 2. Report statistics | |
569 | ||
570 | Changes between versions 0.4b1 and 0.4b2 | |
571 | ======================================== | |
572 | ||
573 | 1. Fixed the bug fix from Greg Lutz (I had made a mistake when integrating | |
574 | the patch) | |
575 | ||
576 | 2. Fixed restore to make it able to read FreeBSD 2.x dumps again | |
577 | ||
578 | 3. Fixed configure.in to correctly handle --enable-rmt | |
579 | ||
580 | Changes between versions 0.3 and 0.4b1 | |
581 | ====================================== | |
582 | ||
583 | 1. Integrated the changes from 4.4BSD-Lite2 | |
584 | ||
585 | 2. Integrated the patches from Debian and Red Hat | |
586 | ||
587 | 3. Portability changes: use the __u32, __u16, __s32, and __s16 types | |
588 | ||
589 | 4. Changed dump to use the Ext2fs library to get block addresses. This | |
590 | should solve the endianness problem on SparcLinux. | |
591 | ||
592 | 5. Created a configure.in file (shamelessly stolen from the e2fsprogs | |
593 | distribution's one) to use autoconf | |
594 | ||
595 | 6. Fixed a few minor bugs | |
596 | ||
597 | Changes between versions 0.2e and 0.2f | |
598 | ====================================== | |
599 | ||
600 | 1. Added the creation of named pipes (fifos) in restore. | |
601 | ||
602 | 2. Added the -N flag in the restore manual page. | |
603 | ||
604 | 3. Added the file kernel.patch which contains the llseek() optimization | |
605 | patch for 1.2.x kernels. | |
606 | ||
607 | 4. Fixed a bug in the restoration of symbolic links: owner and group were | |
608 | not restored. | |
609 | ||
610 | 5. Integrated some changes from FreeBSD 2.2. | |
611 | ||
612 | 6. Added a call to ftruncate() after restoring each file to restore | |
613 | correctly files ending by a hole. | |
614 | ||
615 | Changes between versions 0.2d and 0.2e | |
616 | ====================================== | |
617 | ||
618 | 1. Fixed a bug in the "set owner/mode" process. Every file was restored | |
619 | with owner = root (0) and group = root/wheel/whatever (0). | |
620 | ||
621 | Changes between versions 0.2c and 0.2d | |
622 | ====================================== | |
623 | ||
624 | 1. Dump is now able to backup 2GB+ filesystems. | |
625 | ||
626 | 2. Dump and restore can now be linked as static binaries. | |
627 | ||
628 | Changes between versions 0.2b and 0.2c | |
629 | ====================================== | |
630 | ||
631 | 1. Fixed a bug when dumping ``slow'' (i.e. normal) symbolic links. | |
632 | ||
633 | Changes between versions 0.2a and 0.2b | |
634 | ====================================== | |
635 | ||
636 | 1. Really fixed the bug that I should have corrected in 0.2a. | |
637 | ||
638 | 2. Enabled optimization again. | |
639 | ||
640 | Changes between versions 0.2 and 0.2a | |
641 | ===================================== | |
642 | ||
643 | 1. Disabled the optimization during compilation. | |
644 | ||
645 | Changes between versions 0.1 and 0.2 | |
646 | ==================================== | |
647 | ||
648 | 1. Fixed a bug in fstab.c which caused a null pointer to be stored in | |
649 | the fs_type field (actually, I modified the file fstab.c to make it | |
650 | use the mntent functions). | |
651 | ||
652 | 2. Dump and restore now use a 4.3 BSD compatible dump format. Backups | |
653 | made by dump should be readable by the BSD restore and backups made | |
654 | by the BSD dump should be readable by restore. Unfortunately, this | |
655 | means that the dump format has changed between version 0.1 and version | |
656 | 0.2 :-( | |
657 | ||
658 | 3. Dump is now able to backup a subtree, it is no longer limited to whole | |
659 | filesystems like the BSD version. | |
660 | ||
661 | 4. Dump now uses ext2_llseek() so it is able to backup filesystems bigger | |
662 | than 2 GB. | |
663 | ||
664 | Changes between versions 0.0 and 0.1 | |
665 | ==================================== | |
666 | ||
667 | 1. Now create links rdump and rrestore during the `make install' step. | |
668 | ||
669 | 2. Linux port specific bugs added to the manual pages | |
670 | ||
671 | 3. Incorrect estimation of the number of tapes blocks fixed when doing | |
672 | incremental backups. | |
673 | ||
674 | 4. Better ls-like format in restore in interactive mode. |
