Fixed a small compilation problem due to a change + in the definintion of the struct sigaction in + glibc 2.0 / libc5. Thanks to Gunther Schlegel + for reporting the bug and to + Dave Platt for suggesting + a fix. + +2. Modified the label and uuid analysis in order to be + self-contained (independant of kernel/libc headers). This + should fix the compile with older kernel/libc headers and + will preserve the functionality. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann + for reporting the bug. + +3. The 'exclude inode' option, if applied to a directory + inode, excludes now correctly all the leaves of this + directory. Thanks to John R. Dennison + for reporting the bug. + +4. Fixed the '-e' option to disable the possibility + to exclude the root inode (which causes the dumps to + be unreadable by restore). Prevented array overflow + when multiple -e options are used. + +5. Fixed dump to correctly interpret a filesystem argument + which is a mountpoint and it is not an absolute path + (as specified in the fstab). Thanks to Bernhard R. Erdmann + for reporting the bug. + +6. Made dump able to backup files larger than 2 GB. Note that + dump still doesn't cope with files larger than 4 GB. + +7. Restore the real uid and gid before invoking an external + RSH program (big hole when dump or restore is suid root!). + +8. Get the values for the default tape device and the location + of fstab file from the system headers. Thanks to + Andreas Dilger for the patch. + +9. Made dump -w|-W report all recognized filesystems + present in either /etc/fstab or /etc/dumpdates, and present + the list in the same order as in fstab file. Thanks + to Andreas Dilger for the patch. + +10. Made dump's -a (automatic end of tape detection) the + default. Specifying one of -B, -c, -d or -s options will + override the EOM detection. Thanks to Andreas Dilger + for the patch. + +11. Save the ext2 filesystem label into the dump volume label. + Specifying a volume label on the command line (-L option) + will override this feature. Thanks to Andreas Dilger + for the patch. + +Changes between versions 0.4b18 and 0.4b19 (released August 20, 2000) +===================================================================== + +1. Fixed the signal handling in dump (which I broke in 0.4b17) + which was causing several strange dump failures (dump + hanged or segmentation faults etc). + +2. Specified the default blocksize in the dump man page. + +3. Changed two info messages of restore to be written on stdout + instead of stderr in order to leave stderr only for errors + or warnings. Thanks to Stephen Atwell + for the suggestion. + +4. Corrected an off by one calculation which prevented + dumping a directory having a 1 character name length. + Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann + for reporting the bug. + +5. Reinforce dump in order to allow only level 0 and no + -u option when dumping a subdirectory, and document + this in the man page. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann + for reporting the bug. + +6. Fixed a small harmless bug in restore which caused + in some conditions hard links to be restored several + times (therefore generation some warning messages). + Thanks to Kenneth Porter for + reporting the bug. + +7. Updated the RPM spec file to the latest RedHat version, + providing FHS packaging and other cosmetic changes. + You will need RPM version >= 3.0.5 in order to build the RPM. + +8. Updated the configure script to check for libtermcap + before checking for libreadline, because we need this + library in order to compile the readline support. + +9. Made dump understand the LABEL= and UUID= notation + both in /etc/fstab and on the command line. Note that + you will need the /proc filesystem in order to use + these notations. Thanks to Erik Troan + for providing the patch. + +Changes between versions 0.4b17 and 0.4b18 (released June 30, 2000) +=================================================================== + +1. Fixed a potential buffer overflow in restore. Thanks + to Stan Bubrouski for reporting + the bug. + +2. Fixed a readline-related bug which prevented + 'cat DUMPFILE | restore -i -f -' from working. Thanks + to Charles Karney + for the bug report. + +3. Changed a few "panic" into "exit", causing restore to + be more stable against some attacks (like the last one + reported on Bugtraq, although the last version of restore + was not vulnerable - just dumped core). Thanks to + Andreas Hasenack for reporting + the bugs to me. + +4. Removed the suid-root bit on dump and restore in the + default build (and generated RPMs). It should be safer + now. Users who need the suid-root capabilities in order + to make network backups should read first the man page + of dump and enable the suid bit manually. + +5. Added -ltermcap to the compile parameters for restore + when using readline support, in order to make the compile + process work on some systems (SuSE ?). Thanks to + Patrik Schindler for reporting the bug. + +Changes between versions 0.4b16 and 0.4b17 (released June 1st, 2000) +==================================================================== + +1. The -F script is called now *only* at the end of a tape, + not at the end of the dump. Thanks to Christian Haul + for the bug report. + + Normally, the device name and the current volume number + are passed on the command line of the script. However, + if you want the old style script (with no arguments + passed on the command line), you can enable it in + configure with the --enable-oldstylefscript. + +2. Use posix signal handling to preserve dump functionality + with libc5. Thanks to Jeff Johnson for + the patch. + +3. Made the exit code of restore in case of a 'C'ompare + command reflect the result of the compare. An exit status + of 0 means the dump archive is correct, 1 means tape errors, + 2 means that some files were modified. Thanks to Kenneth Porter + for the suggestion. + +4. Made (finally) quotes work in interactive restore. + +5. Small fixes in order to allow dump to compile with a + really old e2fsprogs version. Thanks to Ian Zimmerman + for the bug report. + +6. Add GNU readline capabilities to interactive restore. + Use configure's --enable-readline flag to enable this feature. + Thanks to Patrik Schindler for the + suggestion. + +7. Do the compare on the fly in restore 'C' mode (this will + allow not to exhaust the available /tmp space when + ccmparing large files). Thanks to Kenneth Porter + for the suggestion. + +Changes between versions 0.4b15 and 0.4b16 (released March 11, 2000) +==================================================================== + +1. Fixed some several duplicate 'DUMP: DUMP:' in the + output of dump. + +2. Corrected the estimation of blocks to dump. Note that + this is still wrong for large directory inodes, due + to the size of a BSD directory entry on the tape + (estimation is based on the size of the ext2 directory, + which is smaller because it doesn't contain the null + character at the end). + +3. Made dump report the total number of MB written to + tape at the end of run. Thanks to W. Reilly Cooley + for the patch. + +4. Added the -X option to restore giving the possibility + to read the names of the files to be extracted/listed + from a text file (in addition of the command line). + Thanks to Dejan Muhamedagic for the + patch. + +5. Added the device name and the current volume number + as arguments to the end of tape script (dump -F option). + +6. Made the multi-volume dump work again (after having + broken it in 0.4b15). + +Changes between versions 0.4b14 and 0.4b15 (released March 2, 2000) +=================================================================== + 1.
