3 | Changes between versions 0.4b34 and 0.4b35 (released ??????????????) | |
4 | ==================================================================== | |
5 | ||
6 | 1. Added a note in the dump man page saying that the default | |
7 | blocksize can be 32 if -d is used with a high density argument. | |
8 | Thanks to Antonios Christofides <A.Christofides@itia.ntua.gr> | |
9 | for the patch. | |

12 | ==================================================================== | |
ed194aec SP |
13 | |
14 | 1. Fixed the INSTALL file to reflect the actual install paths. | |
15 | Thanks to David Ronis <ronis@ronispc.chem.mcgill.ca> for | |
16 | reporting the bug. | |
4bb009da | 17 | |
d3e542e7 SP |
18 | 2. Fixed the configure script to only check for headers presence |
19 | instead of trying to compile them. This should fix issues | |
20 | with old build environments. Thanks to Kari Lempiainen | |
21 | <kari@funky.pp.fi> for reporting the bug. | |
22 | ||
1176b3c1 SP |
23 | 3. Fixed restore to correctly ignore sockets when comparing |
24 | a dump (as socket cannot be properly restored anyway). Thanks | |
2d32c89c SP |
25 | to Gunther Reiszig <gunther@mit.edu> for reporting the bug. |
26 | ||
27 | 4. Fixed restore to correctly access the archive file (-A argument) | |
28 | even when using a remote tape. Thanks to Fabrice Bellet | |
29 | <fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting the bug. | |
1176b3c1 | 30 | |
900bffdb SP |
31 | 5. Fixed (again) handling of long (largefile) seeks in rmt. |
32 | Thanks to Fabrice Bellet <fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting | |
33 | the bug. | |
34 | ||
6d834d25 SP |
35 | 6. Fixed restore corner case when dealing with large block sizes |
36 | dump is able to write now (-b 1024). Thanks to Fabrice Bellet | |
37 | <fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting the bug. | |
38 | ||
cdef84ca SP |
39 | 7. Fixed a bug preventing dump to access a filesystem having |
40 | a label exactly 16 bytes in length. Thanks to <minduni@ti-edu.ch> | |
41 | for reporting the bug. | |
42 | ||
3458b64d SP |
43 | 8. Made dump store dump dates using explicit timezones, fixing a |
44 | problem with incremental dumps if the timezone is modified | |
45 | between the dumps. Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for | |
46 | the bug report and the patch. | |
47 | ||
2be77799 SP |
48 | 9. Fixed a bug encountered when dumping individual files (not full |
49 | filesystems or directories) and dangling symbolic links happen | |
50 | to be in the list of files. For as far as dump is concerned, | |
51 | dangling symbolic links are allowed, and are dumped as is. | |
52 | Thanks to Jin-su Ahn <jsahn@ee.snu.ac.kr> for reporting the | |
53 | bug and providing the fix. | |
54 | ||
c3f69f06 SP |
55 | 10. Fixed open and creation modes and permissions for QFA and |
56 | table-of-contents files in dump and restore. Thanks to | |
57 | Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch. | |
58 | ||
59 | 11. Fixed the archive file descriptor handling enabling it to be 0. | |
60 | This can happen in some cases when shell redirections are used. | |
61 | Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch. | |
62 | ||
63 | 12. Delayed the opening of archive file until after suid had been | |
64 | dropped (fixing a possible security issue if dump is suid). | |
65 | Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch. | |
66 | ||
67 | 13. Fixed the 'S' command handling in the rmt client part. | |
68 | Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch. | |
69 | ||
70 | 14. Modified the end-of-tape script handling to print out statistics | |
71 | (and stop the timer) before launching the eot script. Also, the eot | |
72 | script does not get run anymore when using -M (which makes sense) or | |
73 | when multiple tapes are listed on the command line | |
74 | (-f tape0,tape1,tapen) (which also makes sense). | |
75 | Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch. | |
76 | ||
e1abc9ce SP |
77 | 15. Relicensed dump/restore under the 'revised' BSD license, as per |
78 | ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change. | |
79 | ||
206f768c SP |
80 | 16. Added LZO compression to dump. This new compression method has |
81 | the advantage of being super fast, thus not killing tape streaming | |
82 | on slow machines. Thanks to Helmut Jarausch | |
83 | <jarausch@igpm.rwth-aachen.de> for the patch and to | |
84 | Markus Oberhumer <markus@oberhumer.com> for giving special permission | |
85 | to include his miniLZO project (GPL licensed) in dump/restore. | |
86 | ||
e2392789 SP |
87 | 17. Some small buffer overruns fixes in rmt. Thanks to Antonomasia |
88 | <ant@notatla.demon.co.uk> for reporting the bugs. | |
89 | ||
cdfe1392 SP |
90 | 18. Added a special rmt version which can do encryption when writing |
91 | to tape. Read examples/encrypted_rmt/README for details on | |
92 | how to enable and configure it. Thanks to Ken Lalonde | |
93 | <ken@globalremit.com> for the patch. | |
94 | ||
61e9d4ff SP |
95 | 19. Made dump work with 2.5 kernel end of tape early warning semantics. |
96 | Thanks to Kai Makisara <Kai.Makisara@kolumbus.fi> for the patch. | |
97 | ||
8c95cc30 SP |
98 | 20. Fixed a bug which caused dump -w|-W not to work anymore, because |
99 | the fs_freq and fs_passno fields in /etc/mtab are always set | |
100 | to 0 0. Thanks to Trent Piepho <xyzzy@speakeasy.org> for | |
101 | reporting the bug. | |
102 | ||
cbdba727 | 103 | Changes between versions 0.4b32 and 0.4b33 (released February 10, 2003) |
4bb009da SP |
104 | ======================================================================= |
105 | ||
106 | 1. Added a note in the restore man page clarifying the question | |
107 | 'set the permissions on the current directory ?' asked by | |
108 | restore at the end of treatment in -i and -x modes. | |
d86089d1 | 109 | |
c898ca7a SP |
110 | 2. Fixed the endianess issues when reading compressed tapes. |
111 | Thanks to Dark Force <daq4th@users.sourceforge.net> for | |
112 | reporting this bug and providing test cases. | |
113 | ||
a028bdc8 SP |
114 | 3. Fixed the "ACL won't be dumped" warning message (which showed |
115 | an extra, unrelated error message). Thanks to Dragan Krnic | |
116 | <dkrnic@lycos.com> for reporting this bug. | |
117 | ||
a8a6a503 | 118 | 4. Made dump look first into /etc/mtab, then into /etc/fstab |
1a886de8 SP |
119 | when searching for filesystem paths. Also fixed some problems |
120 | caused by binding mounts or multiple block device mounts. | |
121 | Thanks to Matus Uhlar <uhlar@fantomas.sk>, Elliott Mitchell | |
a8a6a503 SP |
122 | <ehem@m5p.com>, Greg Edwards <gedwards@users.sourceforge.net>, |
123 | Brian Hoy <brian.hoy@opus.co.nz>. (fixes Debian bugs #147086 | |
124 | and #160305, Sourceforge bugs #618699 and #679832). | |
1a886de8 | 125 | |
3211c85b SP |
126 | 5. Made dump's -I option accept the value '0' meaning all the |
127 | read errors will be ignored. This can be useful when running | |
128 | dump from unattended sessions (like cron jobs). Thanks to | |
129 | John I Wang <jiwang@users.sourceforge.net> for the suggestion. | |
130 | ||
7fcd6df5 SP |
131 | 6. Fixed the output of dump to indicate 'blocks' instead of |
132 | 'tape blocks' in the various messages (blocks are always | |
133 | 1 Kilobyte, tape blocks are 1 BK * '-b' argument), and | |
134 | made it clearly print the current blocksize at the start of | |
135 | a dump. Thanks to Michal Szymanski <msz@astrouw.edu.pl> for | |
136 | the suggestions. | |
137 | ||
5bf65105 SP |
138 | 7. Made rmt understand long (largefiles) seeks. |
139 | ||
dbb649e8 SP |
140 | 8. Fixed build with very old versions of libext2fs, where |
141 | EXT2_FT_* constants were undefined. | |
142 | ||
c92d83ae SP |
143 | 9. Made dump accept the dumpdates path on the command line |
144 | (-D file option) instead of using only the hardcoded one. | |
145 | Thanks to Piete Brooks <pb22@users.sourceforge.net> for the | |
146 | suggestion. | |
147 | ||
1daf06b9 SP |
148 | 10. Enabled rmt, LFS, readline, QFA options by default in |
149 | ./configure. Updated the configure process (new versions | |
150 | of config.guess, config.sub etc). | |
151 | ||
51c11d00 SP |
152 | Changes between versions 0.4b31 and 0.4b32 (released November 15, 2002) |
153 | ======================================================================= | |
d86089d1 SP |
154 | |
155 | 1. Changed dump to use fcntl(F_SETLK) style locking instead | |
156 | of flock() when locking the dumpdates file. With the old | |
157 | locking scheme, a local user having read rights on the | |
158 | dumpdates file could be able to do a Denial of Service attack | |
159 | on dump. In order to lock the dumpdates file with the new | |
160 | scheme, the user would need to have write access on the file. | |
161 | Thanks to Richard Johnson <Richard.Johnson3@ey.com> for | |
162 | reporting the bug (originally a bugtraq post). | |
ba3af39e | 163 | |
2f562f4e SP |
164 | 2. Fixed interactive 'ls' which caused spurious errors warnings |
165 | about 'undefined filetypes' detected. Thanks to Jorgen Ostling | |
166 | <jorgen_ostling@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this | |
167 | bug. | |
168 | ||
1c736b78 SP |
169 | 3. Fixed dump's estimate when dealing with sparse inodes. |
170 | ||
876861d2 SP |
171 | 4. Modified dump to allow setting a blocksize bigger than 32kB |
172 | (raised the limit to 1024kB), because newer hardware needs | |
173 | this for proper operation. Thanks to Dirk Traenapp | |
174 | <dtraenapp@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this. | |
175 | ||
b8d848c9 SP |
176 | 5. Fixed a bug causing Dump to stop and report an error if an |
177 | inode number in the exclude file was followed by some amount | |
178 | of whitespace. Thanks to Jeffrey Sofferin | |
179 | <sofferin@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this bug. | |
180 | ||
e531c442 SP |
181 | 6. Fixed a bug which caused restore, in some particular cases, |
182 | to ask some 'scary' questions and leave a bunch of RSTTMP | |
183 | directories behind when restoring incremental tapes. Thanks | |
184 | to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for reporting this bug and | |
185 | providing the test cases. | |
186 | ||
c993d83a SP |
187 | 7. Changed the wording when inodes are excluded from dump: |
188 | replaced 'Added inode 7 to exclude list' with | |
189 | 'Excluding inode 7 (resize inode) from dump', as suggested | |
190 | by Elliott Mitchell <ehem@m5p.com> in a Debian bug report. | |
191 | ||
cbc7fd6a | 192 | Changes between versions 0.4b30 and 0.4b31 (released July 30, 2002) |
ba3af39e SP |
193 | =================================================================== |
194 | ||
195 | 1. Fixed rmt open flags transmission (GNU's symbolic syntax over | |
196 | rmt) which I broke in 0.4b29. Thanks to Eros Albertazzi | |
197 | <eros@lamel.bo.cnr.it> for reporting the bug. | |
35952b8f | 198 | |
4095abc0 SP |
199 | Changes between versions 0.4b29 and 0.4b30 (released July 25, 2002) |
200 | =================================================================== | |
aa1b1e7f SP |
201 | |
202 | 1. Made dump print out the ext2 logical block number in case of a read | |
203 | error, which can be given as an argument to debugfs' ncheck command, | |
204 | in order to find out the affected inode. Added note about this | |
205 | usage in dump's man page. | |
ed7c25a3 SP |
206 | |
207 | 2. Fixed a problem in restore when reading tapes written on big | |
208 | endian machines with very old versions of dump. The patch was | |
209 | contributed by George Helffrich <george@geology.bristol.ac.uk>. | |
f75cc889 SP |
210 | |
211 | 3. Fixed the tape length calculation when using large tapes | |
212 | and compression. Thanks to Georg Lippold | |
213 | <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug. | |
a9c5ed48 SP |
214 | |
215 | 4. Added a new set of examples in dump_on_cd_2 directory, based | |
216 | on dump_on_cd examples but somewhat enhanced, supporting DVD | |
217 | media, and localized in english and german. Thanks to | |
218 | Georg Lippold <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for the new scripts. | |
219 | ||
9ca70cf6 SP |
220 | 5. Made dump save 32 bit UID/GID. Internally, this was achieved |
221 | by switching from the old BSD inode format to the new BSD | |
222 | inode format, which means that the tape format was changed. | |
223 | However, since all restore versions out there should | |
224 | transparently support both inode formats, the change should | |
225 | have no side effects. Thanks to John Yu <jky@cs.bu.edu> for | |
226 | reporting the bug. | |
a18d5997 SP |
227 | |
228 | 6. Fixed a lot of warnings in the code shown when compiling | |
229 | with 'gcc -W'. Thanks to Matthias Andree | |
230 | <matthias.andree@stud.uni-dortmund.de> for reporting this. | |
231 | ||
2a2e321d SP |
232 | 7. Fixed a small markup bug in the dump man page. Thanks to |
233 | Eric S. Raymond <esr@minx.thyrsus.com> for submitting the | |
234 | patch. | |
235 | ||
153f9a83 SP |
236 | 8. Rewrote entirely the man pages using the tmac.an macro |
237 | package (Linux man page format) instead of the original BSD | |
238 | format. They should be now cleaner and easier to modify. | |
239 | ||
cf88ef4c SP |
240 | Changes between versions 0.4b28 and 0.4b29 (released June 8, 2002) |
241 | ================================================================== | |
d24dc8af SP |
242 | |
243 | 1. Fixed a problem in the rmt ioctl command, where ioctl's issued from | |
244 | non Linux clients were misinterpreted. The description of the problem | |
245 | (incompatible numbering in Linux mtio opcodes) is documented at | |
246 | ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/star/README.mtio . Thanks to | |
247 |
