3 | Changes between versions 0.4b31 and 0.4b32 (released ?????????????) | |
4 | =================================================================== | |
5 | ||
6 | 1. Changed dump to use fcntl(F_SETLK) style locking instead | |
7 | of flock() when locking the dumpdates file. With the old | |
8 | locking scheme, a local user having read rights on the | |
9 | dumpdates file could be able to do a Denial of Service attack | |
10 | on dump. In order to lock the dumpdates file with the new | |
11 | scheme, the user would need to have write access on the file. | |
12 | Thanks to Richard Johnson <Richard.Johnson3@ey.com> for | |
13 | reporting the bug (originally a bugtraq post). | |
14 | ||
15 | 2. Fixed interactive 'ls' which caused spurious errors warnings | |
16 | about 'undefined filetypes' detected. Thanks to Jorgen Ostling | |
17 | <jorgen_ostling@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this | |
18 | bug. | |
19 | ||
20 | 3. Fixed dump's estimate when dealing with sparse inodes. | |
21 | ||
22 | 4. Modified dump to allow setting a blocksize bigger than 32kB | |
23 | (raised the limit to 1024kB), because newer hardware needs | |
24 | this for proper operation. Thanks to Dirk Traenapp | |
25 | <dtraenapp@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this. | |
26 | ||
27 | 5. Fixed a bug causing Dump to stop and report an error if an | |
28 | inode number in the exclude file was followed by some amount | |
29 | of whitespace. Thanks to Jeffrey Sofferin | |
30 | <sofferin@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this bug. | |
31 | ||
32 | 6. Fixed a bug which caused restore, in some particular cases, | |
33 | to ask some 'scary' questions and leave a bunch of RSTTMP | |
34 | directories behind when restoring incremental tapes. Thanks | |
35 | to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for reporting this bug and | |
36 | providing the test cases. | |
37 | ||
38 | Changes between versions 0.4b30 and 0.4b31 (released July 30, 2002) | |
39 | =================================================================== | |
40 | ||
41 | 1. Fixed rmt open flags transmission (GNU's symbolic syntax over | |
42 | rmt) which I broke in 0.4b29. Thanks to Eros Albertazzi | |
43 | <eros@lamel.bo.cnr.it> for reporting the bug. | |
44 | ||
45 | Changes between versions 0.4b29 and 0.4b30 (released July 25, 2002) | |
46 | =================================================================== | |
47 | ||
48 | 1. Made dump print out the ext2 logical block number in case of a read | |
49 | error, which can be given as an argument to debugfs' ncheck command, | |
50 | in order to find out the affected inode. Added note about this | |
51 | usage in dump's man page. | |
52 | ||
53 | 2. Fixed a problem in restore when reading tapes written on big | |
54 | endian machines with very old versions of dump. The patch was | |
55 | contributed by George Helffrich <george@geology.bristol.ac.uk>. | |
56 | ||
57 | 3. Fixed the tape length calculation when using large tapes | |
58 | and compression. Thanks to Georg Lippold | |
59 | <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug. | |
60 | ||
61 | 4. Added a new set of examples in dump_on_cd_2 directory, based | |
62 | on dump_on_cd examples but somewhat enhanced, supporting DVD | |
63 | media, and localized in english and german. Thanks to | |
64 | Georg Lippold <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for the new scripts. | |
65 | ||
66 | 5. Made dump save 32 bit UID/GID. Internally, this was achieved | |
67 | by switching from the old BSD inode format to the new BSD | |
68 | inode format, which means that the tape format was changed. | |
69 | However, since all restore versions out there should | |
70 | transparently support both inode formats, the change should | |
71 | have no side effects. Thanks to John Yu <jky@cs.bu.edu> for | |
72 | reporting the bug. | |
73 | ||
74 | 6. Fixed a lot of warnings in the code shown when compiling | |
75 | with 'gcc -W'. Thanks to Matthias Andree | |
76 | <matthias.andree@stud.uni-dortmund.de> for reporting this. | |
77 | ||
78 | 7. Fixed a small markup bug in the dump man page. Thanks to | |
79 | Eric S. Raymond <esr@minx.thyrsus.com> for submitting the | |
80 | patch. | |
81 | ||
82 | 8. Rewrote entirely the man pages using the tmac.an macro | |
83 | package (Linux man page format) instead of the original BSD | |
84 | format. They should be now cleaner and easier to modify. | |
85 | ||
86 | Changes between versions 0.4b28 and 0.4b29 (released June 8, 2002) | |
87 | ================================================================== | |
88 | ||
89 | 1. Fixed a problem in the rmt ioctl command, where ioctl's issued from | |
90 | non Linux clients were misinterpreted. The description of the problem | |
91 | (incompatible numbering in Linux mtio opcodes) is documented at | |
92 | ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/star/README.mtio . Thanks to | |
