Small fix in the dump man page. Thanks to Thorsten Kukuk + for submitting the patch. + +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. Added a 'S' option to dump which determines the amount of space + that is needed to perform the dump without actually doing it, similar + to the Sun's ufsdump 'S' option. Patch contributed by Rob Cermak + . + +3. Added a 'M' multi-volume option to dump and restore which enables + dumping to multiple files (useful when dumping to an ext2 + partition to make several dump files in order to bypass the 2GB + file size limitation). The 'f' argument is treated as a prefix and + the output files will be named 001, 002 etc. With + the 'M' flag, restore automatically selects the right file without + asking to enter a new tape each time. + +4. Fixed a memory leak which was causing dump to grow very big + (270MB when dumping a 10GB filesystem...). Thanks to Jason + Fearon for reporting the bug. + +Changes between versions 0.4b9 and 0.4b10 (released November 21, 1999) +====================================================================== + +1. Make configure test if the system glob routines support + extended syntax (ALTDIRFUNC). If not, use the internal glob + routines instead of system ones. Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski + for reporting the bug + and helping me resolve this and other minor libc5 compiling + glitches. + +2. Fix a problem when dumping a ext2fs with the 'filetype' + feature enabled. Thanks to Patrick J. LoPresti + for reporting the bug and to + Theodore Y. Ts'o for providing the patch. + +3. Made the nodump flag work on directories. A directory which + has the nodump flag gets never dumped, regardless of its + contents. + +4. Integrate a patch from Jeremy Fitzhardinge + which allows dump on an active ext3 filesystem. However, this + is a "quick and dirty" patch which enables backup of an ext3 + filesystem through the ext2 compatibility (by ignoring the + NEEDS_RECOVERY bit). The journal file is not recognized and + it is dumped (it should not). + +5. Test the superblock compatibility flags when dumping, in order + to be sure that we know how to deal with specific features. + +Changes between versions 0.4b8 and 0.4b9 (released November 5, 1999) +==================================================================== + +1. Use lchown instead of chown, fixing a possible security problem + when restoring symlinks (a malicious user could use this + to deliberately corrupt the ownership of important system files). + Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for detecting + this and providing the patch. + +Changes between versions 0.4b7 and 0.4b8 (released November 3, 1999) +==================================================================== 1.

Added the RSH environment variable in order to be able to use a rsh replacement like ssh when doing remote backups (and bypass the security limitations of rcmd).
