3 | Changes between versions 0.4b31 and 0.4b32 (released November 15, 2002) |

5 | |
| 6 | 1. Changed dump to use fcntl(F_SETLK) style locking instead | |
| 7 | of flock() when locking the dumpdates file. With the old | |
| 8 | locking scheme, a local user having read rights on the | |
| 9 | dumpdates file could be able to do a Denial of Service attack | |
| 10 | on dump. In order to lock the dumpdates file with the new | |
| 11 | scheme, the user would need to have write access on the file. | |
| 12 | Thanks to Richard Johnson <Richard.Johnson3@ey.com> for | |
| 13 | reporting the bug (originally a bugtraq post). | |

15 | 2. Fixed interactive 'ls' which caused spurious errors warnings |
| 16 | about 'undefined filetypes' detected. Thanks to Jorgen Ostling | |
| 17 | <jorgen_ostling@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this | |
| 18 | bug. | |

20 | 3. Fixed dump's estimate when dealing with sparse inodes. |
| 21 | ||
| 876861d2 SP |
22 | 4. Modified dump to allow setting a blocksize bigger than 32kB |
| 23 | (raised the limit to 1024kB), because newer hardware needs | |
| 24 | this for proper operation. Thanks to Dirk Traenapp | |
| 25 | <dtraenapp@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this. | |
| 26 | ||
| b8d848c9 SP |
27 | 5. Fixed a bug causing Dump to stop and report an error if an |
| 28 | inode number in the exclude file was followed by some amount | |
| 29 | of whitespace. Thanks to Jeffrey Sofferin | |
| 30 | <sofferin@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this bug. | |
| 31 | ||
| e531c442 SP |
32 | 6. Fixed a bug which caused restore, in some particular cases, |
| 33 | to ask some 'scary' questions and leave a bunch of RSTTMP | |
| 34 | directories behind when restoring incremental tapes. Thanks | |
| 35 | to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for reporting this bug and | |
| 36 | providing the test cases. | |
| 37 | ||
| c993d83a SP |
38 | 7. Changed the wording when inodes are excluded from dump: |
| 39 | replaced 'Added inode 7 to exclude list' with | |
| 40 | 'Excluding inode 7 (resize inode) from dump', as suggested | |
| 41 | by Elliott Mitchell <ehem@m5p.com> in a Debian bug report. | |

| ba3af39e SP |
44 | =================================================================== |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | 1. Fixed rmt open flags transmission (GNU's symbolic syntax over | |
| 47 | rmt) which I broke in 0.4b29. Thanks to Eros Albertazzi | |
| 48 | <eros@lamel.bo.cnr.it> for reporting the bug. | |

50 | Changes between versions 0.4b29 and 0.4b30 (released July 25, 2002) |
| 51 | =================================================================== | |

52 | |
| 53 | 1. Made dump print out the ext2 logical block number in case of a read | |
| 54 | error, which can be given as an argument to debugfs' ncheck command, | |
| 55 | in order to find out the affected inode. Added note about this | |
| 56 | usage in dump's man page. | |
| ed7c25a3 SP |
57 | |
| 58 | 2. Fixed a problem in restore when reading tapes written on big | |
| 59 | endian machines with very old versions of dump. The patch was | |
| 60 | contributed by George Helffrich <george@geology.bristol.ac.uk>. | |
| f75cc889 SP |
61 | |
| 62 | 3. Fixed the tape length calculation when using large tapes | |
| 63 | and compression. Thanks to Georg Lippold | |
| 64 | <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug. | |
| a9c5ed48 SP |
65 | |
| 66 | 4. Added a new set of examples in dump_on_cd_2 directory, based | |
| 67 | on dump_on_cd examples but somewhat enhanced, supporting DVD | |
| 68 | media, and localized in english and german. Thanks to | |
| 69 | Georg Lippold <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for the new scripts. | |
| 70 | ||
| 9ca70cf6 SP |
71 | 5. Made dump save 32 bit UID/GID. Internally, this was achieved |
| 72 | by switching from the old BSD inode format to the new BSD | |
| 73 | inode format, which means that the tape format was changed. | |
| 74 | However, since all restore versions out there should | |
| 75 | transparently support both inode formats, the change should | |
| 76 | have no side effects. Thanks to John Yu <jky@cs.bu.edu> for | |
| 77 | reporting the bug. | |
| a18d5997 SP |
78 | |
| 79 | 6. Fixed a lot of warnings in the code shown when compiling | |
| 80 | with 'gcc -W'. Thanks to Matthias Andree | |
| 81 | <matthias.andree@stud.uni-dortmund.de> for reporting this. | |
| 82 | ||
| 2a2e321d SP |
83 | 7. Fixed a small markup bug in the dump man page. Thanks to |
| 84 | Eric S. Raymond <esr@minx.thyrsus.com> for submitting the | |
| 85 | patch. | |
| 86 | ||
| 153f9a83 SP |
87 | 8. Rewrote entirely the man pages using the tmac.an macro |
| 88 | package (Linux man page format) instead of the original BSD | |
| 89 | format. They should be now cleaner and easier to modify. | |

91 | Changes between versions 0.4b28 and 0.4b29 (released June 8, 2002) |

93 | |
| 94 | 1. Fixed a problem in the rmt ioctl command, where ioctl's issued from | |
| 95 | non Linux clients were misinterpreted. The description of the problem | |
| 96 | (incompatible numbering in Linux mtio opcodes) is documented at | |
| 97 | ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/star/README.mtio . Thanks to | |
