Added a prompt command in interactive restore mode. Thanks + to Andreas Dilger for the patch. + +2. Fixed a buffer overflow problem in dump (caused by + not checking the size of the filesystem parameter). + Thanks to Kim Yong-jun for + reporting this on Bugtraq (and to several dump users + who forwarded me his mail). + +3. Added the '-F script' option to dump in order to + launch a script at the end of each tape (to be used + with a tape changer, or to notify the sysadmin by + pager etc.). + +4. Fixed a bug in restore compare code caused by the changes + I made in 0.4b14. + +5. Fixed the treatment of options using the old BSD syntax + in both dump and restore. + +Changes between versions 0.4b13 and 0.4b14 (released February 10, 2000) +======================================================================= + +1. Fixed a bug in dump which may have caused invalid deleted + directories to be dumped out if they were deleted after the + mapping pass. This could occure on active filesystem and lead + to heap corruption (causing dump malfunction in many possible ways). + Thanks to Jan Sanislo for finding this + bug and submitting the patch. + +2. Fixed the handling of the filesystem parameter in dump. A + '/mnt/disk' parameter caused the disk contents to be dumped, + but a '/mnt/disk/' parameter caused the mountpoint directory + to be dumped (generally an empty directory). + +3. Improved the output of dump in order to tell which directory + it is currently dumping (when dumping a subtree). + +4. Added the '-e' exclude inode option to dump. Thanks to + Isaac Chuang for contributing with the patch. + +5. Added a REPORTING-BUGS file in order to provide a guide + on how to correctly report a bug in dump/restore. + +6. Fixed a restore problem when restoring a hard link to an inode + having the immutable or append-only attribute set. Thanks to + Ambrose Li for submitting the patch. + +7. Fixed a compatibility problem between dumps made on little + endian machines (the format was correct) and big endian + machines (the format was incorrect). This fix break the + compatibility with the older dumps made on big endian + machines (sparc, m86k, ppc etc). For the first time in + linux dump's history (I believe), the dumps made by *BSD, + Linux/alpha, Linux/sparc and Linux/x86 are compatible, + so interchangeable. Thanks to Rob Cermak + for submitting the bug and + helping me test the fix. + +8. Fixed the way dump reports the remaining percent/time, if + the number of blocks actually dumped exceeds the estimated + number of blocks. Thanks to Jean-Paul van der Jagt + for reporting the bug. + +Changes between versions 0.4b12 and 0.4b13 (released January 21, 2000) +====================================================================== + +1. Small Y2K fix in the man pages :). Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski + for reporting the bug. + +2. Removed the requirement to build the RPM as root from the + spec file. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber + for submitting this. + +3. Fixed a bug in dump related to the 'filetype' feature of ext2fs, + causing dump to block when dumping really huge filesystems. + Many thanks to Patrik Schindler for + helping me find this bug. + +4. Fixed the treatment for an interrupt signal when dump access + the remote tape through RSH. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber + for providing the patch. + +5. Fixed a bug which was causing dump/restore to display + garbage characters instead of the remote host name. + +Changes between versions 0.4b11 and 0.4b12 (released January 8, 2000) +===================================================================== + +1. Small fix in the dump man page. Thanks to Thorsten Kukuk + for submitting the patch. -Changes between versions 0.4b10 and 0.4b11 (released ????????????????) +2. Fix for the exit code when using the size estimate option of + dump. Thanks to Matti Taskinen for + submitting the patch. + +3. Handle EINTR in atomical reads/writes in dump, which was causing + dump to fail on some systems. Thanks to Eric Jergensen + for reporting the bug and submitting the patch. + +4. Handle more than 16 characters for the device names in dumpdates. + (up to 255 now). Thanks to Rainer Clasen for + tracking down the problem and proposing the solution. + +5. Fixed a bug in dump which prevented the creation of the + dumpdates file when doing a 0-level dump without already + having a dumpdates file. Thanks to Patrik Schindler + for reporting the bug. + +6. Changed the way dump 'S' flag reports the size estimate + from number of blocks into bytes (making it compatible + with the Solaris version, and simplifying things for + amanda users). Thanks to Jason L Tibbitts III + for reporting the bug. + +7. Fixed a compatibility problem in linux/alpha dump tape format. + Now the linux/alpha dump are (again) compatible with the + other dump formats. But this breaks compatibility with + older dumps made on alpha. Thanks to Mike Tibor + for helping me in finding this bug. + +Changes between versions 0.4b10 and 0.4b11 (released December 5, 1999) ====================================================================== 1. Added a '--enable-kerberos' to configure. 2.
