Made dump report the number of blocks dumped per volume. + Thanks to Kenneth Porter for the suggestion. + +2. Fix a bug in dump where waiting too much at the 'change volumes' + question caused the volume to be rewritten. Thanks to + Graham Reed for reporting the + bug and providing a patch. + +3. Added a compression option to dump, contributed by Jerry + Peters . + + WARNING: the compression works only on files/pipes and + drives supporting variable block size. + + WARNING2: tapes created using the compression feature are + incompatible with the standard dump tape format, and a + version of restore >= 0.4b22 will be needed for extraction. + +4. Fixed some compilation problems for glibc 2.2.2 and 64 bit + architectures. Thanks to Paul Slootman for + the patch and to Bdale Garbee for forwarding + it upstream. + +5. Many cleanups (CPP defines, const char warnings, check of + ext2fs COMPAT flags, time_t cleanups, added libext2 version + in dump usage text) by Andreas Dilger . + +6. Made --prefix option work in configure. All the install path + are now based on the configure parameters. + +Changes between versions 0.4b20 and 0.4b21 (released January 13, 2001) +====================================================================== + +1. Fixed some bugs in the dump -w|-W logic introduced by + the previous version. Thanks to Andreas Dilger + for his help on this one. + +2. Fixed again a compilation problem when using old e2fs + headers (filesystem label related). Thanks to many users + who reported this stupid error. + +3. Fixed a build problem on old lib5 based systems dealing with + _PATH_MNTTAB being undefined. Thanks to John Adams + for reporting the bug. + +4. Improved the error detection in restore when creating + the temporary files in TMPDIR. Now restore will corectly + report a 'no space left on device' error instead of + strange errors which could imply an archive corruption. + Thanks to Gabriel Somlo and + bgjenero for reporting the bug. + +5. Added the throughput information in dump's progression + messages. Thanks to Andreas Dilger + for the patch. + +6. Use libext2fs's inode scanning routines, which are particularly + robust when dealing with errors (especially when having some + bad blocks on the filesystem). Many thanks to Colin + for reporting the bug, investigating + the issues, finding a workaround, writing the patch and + fully testing it... (of course, if this patch will break + anything, he is to blame for :-)). + +7. Made dump and restore LFS aware. Dump can dump a filesystem + containing large files, generate a large file on output and + restore can restore them. This feature is not enabled by + default, use --enable-largefile option of configure to enable + it (you need to have a LFS aware glibc though). Thanks to + Andrea Arcangeli for submitting the patch, + and to Theodore T'so for his always + useful thoughts. + +8. Made dump ask upon a tape write error if it should rewrite + the current volume (assume this is a bad tape) or if it should + assume an end-of-tape condition (useful for tape drives which + behaves badly at the end of the tape). Thanks to Andreas + Dilger for the suggestion. + +Changes between versions 0.4b19 and 0.4b20 (released November 10, 2000) +======================================================================= 1.

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.
