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. + +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 doint 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. Put dump sources under CVS, added Id tags in all files so + one can use 'ident' on binary files. + +2. Added the dump/restore version in the usage text so one can + easily verify the version he is using. + +3. Small patch from Nuno Oliveira which fixes + a va_start/va_end problem on linux-ppc (always call va_start + va_end in pairs each time we use a vararg function). + +4. Added again the DT_* constants because old libc does not + contain them :(. Thanks to Eric Maisonobe + for submitting the bug report. + +5. Use ext2fs_llseek instead of llseek. With recent e2fsprogs + this should enable dumping big (huge) filesystems. + +6. 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). Now you can do remote + backups without being root (or making dump setuid root). + +7. Modified again the way dumpdates works. For incremental dumps, + we need to read dumpdates even if we are not using 'u' option. + Thanks to Bdale Garbee for his ideas on how + this should work. + +Changes between versions 0.4b6 and 0.4b7 (released October 8, 1999) +=================================================================== + +1. Removed the 'k' flag from the restore 'about' text if kerberos + was not compiled in. + +2. Prototyped (f)setflags from e2fsprogs and corrected the calls + to them (fsetflags takes a char*, setflags an open fd!). + +3. (f)setflags is called only if the flags aren't empty. If the + file is a special file, a warning is printed, because changing + flags implies opening the device. Normally, a special file + should not have any flag... (Debian bug #29775, patch provided + by Abhijit Dasgupta ). + +4. Made possible to dump a file system not mentioned in /etc/fstab. + (Debian bug #11904, patch provided by Eirik Fuller ). + +5. Changed the default behaviour to not create dumpdates + unless 'u' option is specified. Removed the old "debian-patch" + which provided the same thing. (Debian bug #38136, #33818). + +6. Removed all those dump*announce, since they were getting old... + +7. Added warning messages if dumpdates does not exist and + when an inferior level dump does not exist (except for a level 0 + dump). + +8. Debugged the glob calls in interactive mode: restore used a + dirent struct which was different from the /usr/include/dirent.h + one (this used to work, is it a glibc2 change?), so none of the + compat glob (which used /usr/include/dirent.h) or the system glob + worked. Restore use now the system dirent (and the system + DT_* constants), which are compatible with BSD ones. + +9. Added a configure flag (--with-dumpdatespath) to specify + the location of dumpdates file. By default, it is + /etc/dumpdates. + +10. Added the "AUTHOR" and "AVAILABILITY" sections and + included the current date/version in man pages. + +11. Corrected the estimation of remaining time when + the operator doesn't change the tapes quickly enough. This + was an old bug, I thought I corrected it, and discovered + that in fact it was corrected in two different places, so + the results canceled each other... + +Changes between versions 0.4b5 and 0.4b6 (released October 1, 1999) +=================================================================== 1.
