3 Changes between versions 0.4b21 and 0.4b22 (released ????????????????)
4 ======================================================================
6 1. Made dump report the number of blocks dumped per volume.
7 Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
9 2. Fix a bug in dump where waiting too much at the 'change volumes'
10 question caused the volume to be rewritten. Thanks to
11 Graham Reed <greed@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the
12 bug and providing a patch.
14 3. Added a compression option to dump, contributed by Jerry
15 Peters <gapeters@worldnet.att.net>.
17 WARNING: the compression works only on drives supporting
20 WARNING2: tapes created using the compression feature are
21 incompatible with the standard dump tape format, and a
22 version of restore >= 0.4b22 will be needed for extraction.
24 4. Fixed some compilation problems for glibc 2.2.2 and 64 bit
25 architectures. Thanks to Paul Slootman <paul@debian.org> for
26 the patch and to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for forwarding
29 Changes between versions 0.4b20 and 0.4b21 (released January 13, 2001)
30 ======================================================================
32 1. Fixed some bugs in the dump -w|-W logic introduced by
33 the previous version. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
34 <adilger@turbolinux.com> for his help on this one.
36 2. Fixed again a compilation problem when using old e2fs
37 headers (filesystem label related). Thanks to many users
38 who reported this stupid error.
40 3. Fixed a build problem on old lib5 based systems dealing with
41 _PATH_MNTTAB being undefined. Thanks to John Adams
42 <johna@onevista.com> for reporting the bug.
44 4. Improved the error detection in restore when creating
45 the temporary files in TMPDIR. Now restore will corectly
46 report a 'no space left on device' error instead of
47 strange errors which could imply an archive corruption.
48 Thanks to Gabriel Somlo <somlo@cs.colostate.edu> and
49 bgjenero <bgjenero@sympatico.ca> for reporting the bug.
51 5. Added the throughput information in dump's progression
52 messages. Thanks to Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
55 6. Use libext2fs's inode scanning routines, which are particularly
56 robust when dealing with errors (especially when having some
57 bad blocks on the filesystem). Many thanks to Colin
58 <colin@horizon.com> for reporting the bug, investigating
59 the issues, finding a workaround, writing the patch and
60 fully testing it... (of course, if this patch will break
61 anything, he is to blame for :-)).
63 7. Made dump and restore LFS aware. Dump can dump a filesystem
64 containing large files, generate a large file on output and
65 restore can restore them. This feature is not enabled by
66 default, use --enable-largefile option of configure to enable
67 it (you need to have a LFS aware glibc though). Thanks to
68 Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@suse.de> for submitting the patch,
69 and to Theodore T'so <tytso@valinux.com> for his always
72 8. Made dump ask upon a tape write error if it should rewrite
73 the current volume (assume this is a bad tape) or if it should
74 assume an end-of-tape condition (useful for tape drives which
75 behaves badly at the end of the tape). Thanks to Andreas
76 Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the suggestion.
78 Changes between versions 0.4b19 and 0.4b20 (released November 10, 2000)
79 =======================================================================
81 1. Fixed a small compilation problem due to a change
82 in the definintion of the struct sigaction in
83 glibc 2.0 / libc5. Thanks to Gunther Schlegel
84 <schlegel@riege.de> for reporting the bug and to
85 Dave Platt <dplatt@snulbug.mtview.ca.us> for suggesting
88 2. Modified the label and uuid analysis in order to be
89 self-contained (independant of kernel/libc headers). This
90 should fix the compile with older kernel/libc headers and
91 will preserve the functionality. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann
92 <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de> for reporting the bug.
94 3. The 'exclude inode' option, if applied to a directory
95 inode, excludes now correctly all the leaves of this
96 directory. Thanks to John R. Dennison
97 <gerdesas@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.
99 4. Fixed the '-e' option to disable the possibility
100 to exclude the root inode (which causes the dumps to
101 be unreadable by restore). Prevented array overflow
102 when multiple -e options are used.
104 5. Fixed dump to correctly interpret a filesystem argument
105 which is a mountpoint and it is not an absolute path
106 (as specified in the fstab). Thanks to Bernhard R. Erdmann
107 <be@berdmann.de> for reporting the bug.
109 6. Made dump able to backup files larger than 2 GB. Note that
110 dump still doesn't cope with files larger than 4 GB.
112 7. Restore the real uid and gid before invoking an external
113 RSH program (big hole when dump or restore is suid root!).
115 8. Get the values for the default tape device and the location
116 of fstab file from the system headers. Thanks to
117 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
119 9. Made dump -w|-W report all recognized filesystems
120 present in either /etc/fstab or /etc/dumpdates, and present
121 the list in the same order as in fstab file. Thanks
122 to Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
124 10. Made dump's -a (automatic end of tape detection) the
125 default. Specifying one of -B, -c, -d or -s options will
126 override the EOM detection. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
127 <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
129 11. Save the ext2 filesystem label into the dump volume label.
130 Specifying a volume label on the command line (-L option)
131 will override this feature. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
132 <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
134 Changes between versions 0.4b18 and 0.4b19 (released August 20, 2000)
135 =====================================================================
137 1. Fixed the signal handling in dump (which I broke in 0.4b17)
138 which was causing several strange dump failures (dump
139 hanged or segmentation faults etc).
141 2. Specified the default blocksize in the dump man page.
143 3. Changed two info messages of restore to be written on stdout
144 instead of stderr in order to leave stderr only for errors
145 or warnings. Thanks to Stephen Atwell
146 <satwell@urbana.css.mot.com> for the suggestion.
148 4. Corrected an off by one calculation which prevented
149 dumping a directory having a 1 character name length.
150 Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de>
151 for reporting the bug.
153 5. Reinforce dump in order to allow only level 0 and no
154 -u option when dumping a subdirectory, and document
155 this in the man page. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann
156 <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de> for reporting the bug.
158 6. Fixed a small harmless bug in restore which caused
159 in some conditions hard links to be restored several
160 times (therefore generation some warning messages).
161 Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com> for
164 7. Updated the RPM spec file to the latest RedHat version,
165 providing FHS packaging and other cosmetic changes.
166 You will need RPM version >= 3.0.5 in order to build the RPM.
168 8. Updated the configure script to check for libtermcap
169 before checking for libreadline, because we need this
170 library in order to compile the readline support.
172 9. Made dump understand the LABEL= and UUID= notation
173 both in /etc/fstab and on the command line. Note that
174 you will need the /proc filesystem in order to use
175 these notations. Thanks to Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com>
176 for providing the patch.
178 Changes between versions 0.4b17 and 0.4b18 (released June 30, 2000)
179 ===================================================================
181 1. Fixed a potential buffer overflow in restore. Thanks
182 to Stan Bubrouski <satan@fastdial.net> for reporting
185 2. Fixed a readline-related bug which prevented
186 'cat DUMPFILE | restore -i -f -' from working. Thanks
187 to Charles Karney <karney@users.sourceforge.net>
190 3. Changed a few "panic" into "exit", causing restore to
191 be more stable against some attacks (like the last one
192 reported on Bugtraq, although the last version of restore
193 was not vulnerable - just dumped core). Thanks to
194 Andreas Hasenack <andreas@conectiva.com.br> for reporting
197 4. Removed the suid-root bit on dump and restore in the
198 default build (and generated RPMs). It should be safer
199 now. Users who need the suid-root capabilities in order
200 to make network backups should read first the man page
201 of dump and enable the suid bit manually.
203 5. Added -ltermcap to the compile parameters for restore
204 when using readline support, in order to make the compile
205 process work on some systems (SuSE ?). Thanks to
206 Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for reporting the bug.
208 Changes between versions 0.4b16 and 0.4b17 (released June 1st, 2000)
209 ====================================================================
211 1. The -F script is called now *only* at the end of a tape,
212 not at the end of the dump. Thanks to Christian Haul
213 <haul@informatik.tu-darmstadt.de> for the bug report.
215 Normally, the device name and the current volume number
216 are passed on the command line of the script. However,
217 if you want the old style script (with no arguments
218 passed on the command line), you can enable it in
219 configure with the --enable-oldstylefscript.
221 2. Use posix signal handling to preserve dump functionality
222 with libc5. Thanks to Jeff Johnson <jbj@redhat.com> for
225 3. Made the exit code of restore in case of a 'C'ompare
226 command reflect the result of the compare. An exit status
227 of 0 means the dump archive is correct, 1 means tape errors,
228 2 means that some files were modified. Thanks to Kenneth Porter
229 <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
231 4. Made (finally) quotes work in interactive restore.
233 5. Small fixes in order to allow dump to compile with a
234 really old e2fsprogs version. Thanks to Ian Zimmerman
235 <itz@speakeasy.org> for the bug report.
237 6. Add GNU readline capabilities to interactive restore.
238 Use configure's --enable-readline flag to enable this feature.
239 Thanks to Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for the
242 7. Do the compare on the fly in restore 'C' mode (this will
243 allow not to exhaust the available /tmp space when
244 ccmparing large files). Thanks to Kenneth Porter
245 <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
247 Changes between versions 0.4b15 and 0.4b16 (released March 11, 2000)
248 ====================================================================
250 1. Fixed some several duplicate 'DUMP: DUMP:' in the
253 2. Corrected the estimation of blocks to dump. Note that
254 this is still wrong for large directory inodes, due
255 to the size of a BSD directory entry on the tape
256 (estimation is based on the size of the ext2 directory,
257 which is smaller because it doesn't contain the null
258 character at the end).
260 3. Made dump report the total number of MB written to
261 tape at the end of run. Thanks to W. Reilly Cooley
262 <wcooley@nakedape.cc> for the patch.
264 4. Added the -X option to restore giving the possibility
265 to read the names of the files to be extracted/listed
266 from a text file (in addition of the command line).
267 Thanks to Dejan Muhamedagic <dejan@quant-x.com> for the
270 5. Added the device name and the current volume number
271 as arguments to the end of tape script (dump -F option).
273 6. Made the multi-volume dump work again (after having
274 broken it in 0.4b15).
276 Changes between versions 0.4b14 and 0.4b15 (released March 2, 2000)
277 ===================================================================
279 1. Added a prompt command in interactive restore mode. Thanks
280 to Andreas Dilger <adilger@home.com> for the patch.
282 2. Fixed a buffer overflow problem in dump (caused by
283 not checking the size of the filesystem parameter).
284 Thanks to Kim Yong-jun <loveyou@hackerslab.org> for
285 reporting this on Bugtraq (and to several dump users
286 who forwarded me his mail).
288 3. Added the '-F script' option to dump in order to
289 launch a script at the end of each tape (to be used
290 with a tape changer, or to notify the sysadmin by
293 4. Fixed a bug in restore compare code caused by the changes
296 5. Fixed the treatment of options using the old BSD syntax
297 in both dump and restore.
299 Changes between versions 0.4b13 and 0.4b14 (released February 10, 2000)
300 =======================================================================
302 1. Fixed a bug in dump which may have caused invalid deleted
303 directories to be dumped out if they were deleted after the
304 mapping pass. This could occure on active filesystem and lead
305 to heap corruption (causing dump malfunction in many possible ways).
306 Thanks to Jan Sanislo <oystr@cs.washington.edu> for finding this
307 bug and submitting the patch.
309 2. Fixed the handling of the filesystem parameter in dump. A
310 '/mnt/disk' parameter caused the disk contents to be dumped,
311 but a '/mnt/disk/' parameter caused the mountpoint directory
312 to be dumped (generally an empty directory).
314 3. Improved the output of dump in order to tell which directory
315 it is currently dumping (when dumping a subtree).
317 4. Added the '-e' exclude inode option to dump. Thanks to
318 Isaac Chuang <ike@isl.stanford.edu> for contributing with the patch.
320 5. Added a REPORTING-BUGS file in order to provide a guide
321 on how to correctly report a bug in dump/restore.
323 6. Fixed a restore problem when restoring a hard link to an inode
324 having the immutable or append-only attribute set. Thanks to
325 Ambrose Li <acli@mingpaoxpress.com> for submitting the patch.
327 7. Fixed a compatibility problem between dumps made on little
328 endian machines (the format was correct) and big endian
329 machines (the format was incorrect). This fix break the
330 compatibility with the older dumps made on big endian
331 machines (sparc, m86k, ppc etc). For the first time in
332 linux dump's history (I believe), the dumps made by *BSD,
333 Linux/alpha, Linux/sparc and Linux/x86 are compatible,
334 so interchangeable. Thanks to Rob Cermak
335 <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu> for submitting the bug and
336 helping me test the fix.
338 8. Fixed the way dump reports the remaining percent/time, if
339 the number of blocks actually dumped exceeds the estimated
340 number of blocks. Thanks to Jean-Paul van der Jagt
341 <jeanpaul@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl> for reporting the bug.
343 Changes between versions 0.4b12 and 0.4b13 (released January 21, 2000)
344 ======================================================================
346 1. Small Y2K fix in the man pages :). Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski
347 <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug.
349 2. Removed the requirement to build the RPM as root from the
350 spec file. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber
351 <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for submitting this.
353 3. Fixed a bug in dump related to the 'filetype' feature of ext2fs,
354 causing dump to block when dumping really huge filesystems.
355 Many thanks to Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for
356 helping me find this bug.
358 4. Fixed the treatment for an interrupt signal when dump access
359 the remote tape through RSH. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber
360 <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for providing the patch.
362 5. Fixed a bug which was causing dump/restore to display
363 garbage characters instead of the remote host name.
365 Changes between versions 0.4b11 and 0.4b12 (released January 8, 2000)
366 =====================================================================
368 1. Small fix in the dump man page. Thanks to Thorsten Kukuk
369 <kukuk@suse.de> for submitting the patch.
371 2. Fix for the exit code when using the size estimate option of
372 dump. Thanks to Matti Taskinen <mkt@rni.helsinki.fi> for
373 submitting the patch.
375 3. Handle EINTR in atomical reads/writes in dump, which was causing
376 dump to fail on some systems. Thanks to Eric Jergensen
377 <eric@dvns.com> for reporting the bug and submitting the patch.
379 4. Handle more than 16 characters for the device names in dumpdates.
380 (up to 255 now). Thanks to Rainer Clasen <bj@ncc.cicely.de> for
381 tracking down the problem and proposing the solution.
383 5. Fixed a bug in dump which prevented the creation of the
384 dumpdates file when doing a 0-level dump without already
385 having a dumpdates file. Thanks to Patrik Schindler
386 <poc@pocnet.net> for reporting the bug.
388 6. Changed the way dump 'S' flag reports the size estimate
389 from number of blocks into bytes (making it compatible
390 with the Solaris version, and simplifying things for
391 amanda users). Thanks to Jason L Tibbitts III
392 <tibbs@math.uh.edu> for reporting the bug.
394 7. Fixed a compatibility problem in linux/alpha dump tape format.
395 Now the linux/alpha dump are (again) compatible with the
396 other dump formats. But this breaks compatibility with
397 older dumps made on alpha. Thanks to Mike Tibor
398 <tibor@lib.uaa.alaska.edu> for helping me in finding this bug.
400 Changes between versions 0.4b10 and 0.4b11 (released December 5, 1999)
401 ======================================================================
403 1. Added a '--enable-kerberos' to configure.
405 2. Added a 'S' option to dump which determines the amount of space
406 that is needed to perform the dump without actually doing it, similar
407 to the Sun's ufsdump 'S' option. Patch contributed by Rob Cermak
408 <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu>.
410 3. Added a 'M' multi-volume option to dump and restore which enables
411 dumping to multiple files (useful when dumping to an ext2
412 partition to make several dump files in order to bypass the 2GB
413 file size limitation). The 'f' argument is treated as a prefix and
414 the output files will be named <prefix>001, <prefix>002 etc. With
415 the 'M' flag, restore automatically selects the right file without
416 asking to enter a new tape each time.
418 4. Fixed a memory leak which was causing dump to grow very big
419 (270MB when dumping a 10GB filesystem...). Thanks to Jason
420 Fearon <jasonf@netrider.org.au> for reporting the bug.
422 Changes between versions 0.4b9 and 0.4b10 (released November 21, 1999)
423 ======================================================================
425 1. Make configure test if the system glob routines support
426 extended syntax (ALTDIRFUNC). If not, use the internal glob
427 routines instead of system ones. Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski
428 <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug
429 and helping me resolve this and other minor libc5 compiling
432 2. Fix a problem when dumping a ext2fs with the 'filetype'
433 feature enabled. Thanks to Patrick J. LoPresti
434 <patl@cag.lcs.mit.edu> for reporting the bug and to
435 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> for providing the patch.
437 3. Made the nodump flag work on directories. A directory which
438 has the nodump flag gets never dumped, regardless of its
441 4. Integrate a patch from Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
442 which allows dump on an active ext3 filesystem. However, this
443 is a "quick and dirty" patch which enables backup of an ext3
444 filesystem through the ext2 compatibility (by ignoring the
445 NEEDS_RECOVERY bit). The journal file is not recognized and
446 it is dumped (it should not).
448 5. Test the superblock compatibility flags when dumping, in order
449 to be sure that we know how to deal with specific features.
451 Changes between versions 0.4b8 and 0.4b9 (released November 5, 1999)
452 ====================================================================
454 1. Use lchown instead of chown, fixing a possible security problem
455 when restoring symlinks (a malicious user could use this
456 to deliberately corrupt the ownership of important system files).
457 Thanks to Chris Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for detecting
458 this and providing the patch.
460 Changes between versions 0.4b7 and 0.4b8 (released November 3, 1999)
461 ====================================================================
463 1. Put dump sources under CVS, added Id tags in all files so
464 one can use 'ident' on binary files.
466 2. Added the dump/restore version in the usage text so one can
467 easily verify the version he is using.
469 3. Small patch from Nuno Oliveira <nuno@eq.uc.pt> which fixes
470 a va_start/va_end problem on linux-ppc (always call va_start
471 va_end in pairs each time we use a vararg function).
473 4. Added again the DT_* constants because old libc does not
474 contain them :(. Thanks to Eric Maisonobe <virnet@nat.fr>
475 for submitting the bug report.
477 5. Use ext2fs_llseek instead of llseek. With recent e2fsprogs
478 this should enable dumping big (huge) filesystems.
480 6. Added the RSH environment variable in order to be able to
481 use a rsh replacement like ssh when doing remote backups (and
482 bypass the security limitations of rcmd). Now you can do remote
483 backups without being root (or making dump setuid root).
485 7. Modified again the way dumpdates works. For incremental dumps,
486 we need to read dumpdates even if we are not using 'u' option.
487 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for his ideas on how
490 Changes between versions 0.4b6 and 0.4b7 (released October 8, 1999)
491 ===================================================================
493 1. Removed the 'k' flag from the restore 'about' text if kerberos
496 2. Prototyped (f)setflags from e2fsprogs and corrected the calls
497 to them (fsetflags takes a char*, setflags an open fd!).
499 3. (f)setflags is called only if the flags aren't empty. If the
500 file is a special file, a warning is printed, because changing
501 flags implies opening the device. Normally, a special file
502 should not have any flag... (Debian bug #29775, patch provided
503 by Abhijit Dasgupta <abhijit@ans.net>).
505 4. Made possible to dump a file system not mentioned in /etc/fstab.
506 (Debian bug #11904, patch provided by Eirik Fuller <eirik@netcom.com>).
508 5. Changed the default behaviour to not create dumpdates
509 unless 'u' option is specified. Removed the old "debian-patch"
510 which provided the same thing. (Debian bug #38136, #33818).
512 6. Removed all those dump*announce, since they were getting old...
514 7. Added warning messages if dumpdates does not exist and
515 when an inferior level dump does not exist (except for a level 0
518 8. Debugged the glob calls in interactive mode: restore used a
519 dirent struct which was different from the /usr/include/dirent.h
520 one (this used to work, is it a glibc2 change?), so none of the
521 compat glob (which used /usr/include/dirent.h) or the system glob
522 worked. Restore use now the system dirent (and the system
523 DT_* constants), which are compatible with BSD ones.
525 9. Added a configure flag (--with-dumpdatespath) to specify
526 the location of dumpdates file. By default, it is
529 10. Added the "AUTHOR" and "AVAILABILITY" sections and
530 included the current date/version in man pages.
532 11. Corrected the estimation of remaining time when
533 the operator doesn't change the tapes quickly enough. This
534 was an old bug, I thought I corrected it, and discovered
535 that in fact it was corrected in two different places, so
536 the results canceled each other...
538 Changes between versions 0.4b5 and 0.4b6 (released October 1, 1999)
539 ===================================================================
541 1. Integrated multiple patches from RedHat, Debian and SuSE:
543 - tweak dump/itime.c to not try to read dumpdates if the 'u' option
545 - several fixes in the man pages.
546 - update the default tape device to /dev/st0.
547 - many updates for Linux Alpha (byte ordering, size_t etc).
549 - use environment variable for TMPDIR (instead of /tmp).
550 - use sigjmp_buf instead of jmp_buf (RedHat bug #3260).
551 - workaround egcs bug (RedHat bugs #4281 and #2989).
552 - wire $(OPT) throughout Makefile's.
554 2. Upgrade the dump revision to 1, making possible to dump filesystems
555 made with e2fsprogs-1.15 or newer. Nothing seems to break...
557 3. Fix some compile warnings, prototype all functions.
559 4. Use glibc err/glob instead of internal compatibility
560 routines (only if available).
562 5. Fix a compile error on Linux 2.2.7 / libc5 (5.4.44) (patch provided
563 by Bernhard Sadlowski <sadlowsk@mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de>).
565 Changes between versions 0.4b4 and 0.4b5 (released September 22, 1999)
566 ======================================================================
568 1. Integrated the changes from FreeBSD-3.1-RELEASE
569 (mostly bug fixes, buffer overruns, dump has now an "automatic
570 tape length calculation" flag, dump/restore can use kerberos now
571 (this is NOT tested), use environment variables for TAPE and
574 2. Integrated three RedHat patches ("glibc", "kernel" and "bread" patches)
576 3. Corrected a bug in restore when using 'C' option with multi-volumes
577 tapes (files splited accros two tapes give "size changed" errors
580 4. Corrected the long standing bug when dumping multiple tapes.
581 This works for me, needs further testing.
583 Changes between versions 0.4b3 and 0.4b4 (released January 17, 1997)
584 ====================================================================
586 1. Dump now runs correctly on kernels 2.1.x
587 Fix made by Gerald Peters <gapeters@worldnet.att.net>
589 Changes between versions 0.4b2 and 0.4b3
590 ========================================
592 1. Use realpath() if available
596 Changes between versions 0.4b1 and 0.4b2
597 ========================================
599 1. Fixed the bug fix from Greg Lutz (I had made a mistake when integrating
602 2. Fixed restore to make it able to read FreeBSD 2.x dumps again
604 3. Fixed configure.in to correctly handle --enable-rmt
606 Changes between versions 0.3 and 0.4b1
607 ======================================
609 1. Integrated the changes from 4.4BSD-Lite2
611 2. Integrated the patches from Debian and Red Hat
613 3. Portability changes: use the __u32, __u16, __s32, and __s16 types
615 4. Changed dump to use the Ext2fs library to get block addresses. This
616 should solve the endianness problem on SparcLinux.
618 5. Created a configure.in file (shamelessly stolen from the e2fsprogs
619 distribution's one) to use autoconf
621 6. Fixed a few minor bugs
623 Changes between versions 0.2e and 0.2f
624 ======================================
626 1. Added the creation of named pipes (fifos) in restore.
628 2. Added the -N flag in the restore manual page.
630 3. Added the file kernel.patch which contains the llseek() optimization
631 patch for 1.2.x kernels.
633 4. Fixed a bug in the restoration of symbolic links: owner and group were
636 5. Integrated some changes from FreeBSD 2.2.
638 6. Added a call to ftruncate() after restoring each file to restore
639 correctly files ending by a hole.
641 Changes between versions 0.2d and 0.2e
642 ======================================
644 1. Fixed a bug in the "set owner/mode" process. Every file was restored
645 with owner = root (0) and group = root/wheel/whatever (0).
647 Changes between versions 0.2c and 0.2d
648 ======================================
650 1. Dump is now able to backup 2GB+ filesystems.
652 2. Dump and restore can now be linked as static binaries.
654 Changes between versions 0.2b and 0.2c
655 ======================================
657 1. Fixed a bug when dumping ``slow'' (i.e. normal) symbolic links.
659 Changes between versions 0.2a and 0.2b
660 ======================================
662 1. Really fixed the bug that I should have corrected in 0.2a.
664 2. Enabled optimization again.
666 Changes between versions 0.2 and 0.2a
667 =====================================
669 1. Disabled the optimization during compilation.
671 Changes between versions 0.1 and 0.2
672 ====================================
674 1. Fixed a bug in fstab.c which caused a null pointer to be stored in
675 the fs_type field (actually, I modified the file fstab.c to make it
676 use the mntent functions).
678 2. Dump and restore now use a 4.3 BSD compatible dump format. Backups
679 made by dump should be readable by the BSD restore and backups made
680 by the BSD dump should be readable by restore. Unfortunately, this
681 means that the dump format has changed between version 0.1 and version
684 3. Dump is now able to backup a subtree, it is no longer limited to whole
685 filesystems like the BSD version.
687 4. Dump now uses ext2_llseek() so it is able to backup filesystems bigger
690 Changes between versions 0.0 and 0.1
691 ====================================
693 1. Now create links rdump and rrestore during the `make install' step.
695 2. Linux port specific bugs added to the manual pages
697 3. Incorrect estimation of the number of tapes blocks fixed when doing
700 4. Better ls-like format in restore in interactive mode.
