3 | Changes between versions 0.4b33 and 0.4b34 (released ?????????????????) | |
4 | ======================================================================= | |
5 | ||
6 | 1. Fixed the INSTALL file to reflect the actual install paths. | |
7 | Thanks to David Ronis <ronis@ronispc.chem.mcgill.ca> for | |
8 | reporting the bug. | |

d3e542e7 SP |
10 | 2. Fixed the configure script to only check for headers presence |
11 | instead of trying to compile them. This should fix issues | |
12 | with old build environments. Thanks to Kari Lempiainen | |
13 | <kari@funky.pp.fi> for reporting the bug. | |

4bb009da SP |
16 | ======================================================================= |
17 | ||
18 | 1. Added a note in the restore man page clarifying the question | |
19 | 'set the permissions on the current directory ?' asked by | |
20 | restore at the end of treatment in -i and -x modes. | |
d86089d1 | 21 | |
c898ca7a SP |
22 | 2. Fixed the endianess issues when reading compressed tapes. |
23 | Thanks to Dark Force <daq4th@users.sourceforge.net> for | |
24 | reporting this bug and providing test cases. | |
25 | ||
a028bdc8 SP |
26 | 3. Fixed the "ACL won't be dumped" warning message (which showed |
27 | an extra, unrelated error message). Thanks to Dragan Krnic | |
28 | <dkrnic@lycos.com> for reporting this bug. | |
29 | ||
a8a6a503 | 30 | 4. Made dump look first into /etc/mtab, then into /etc/fstab |
1a886de8 SP |
31 | when searching for filesystem paths. Also fixed some problems |
32 | caused by binding mounts or multiple block device mounts. | |
33 | Thanks to Matus Uhlar <uhlar@fantomas.sk>, Elliott Mitchell | |
a8a6a503 SP |
34 | <ehem@m5p.com>, Greg Edwards <gedwards@users.sourceforge.net>, |
35 | Brian Hoy <brian.hoy@opus.co.nz>. (fixes Debian bugs #147086 | |
36 | and #160305, Sourceforge bugs #618699 and #679832). | |
1a886de8 | 37 | |
3211c85b SP |
38 | 5. Made dump's -I option accept the value '0' meaning all the |
39 | read errors will be ignored. This can be useful when running | |
40 | dump from unattended sessions (like cron jobs). Thanks to | |
41 | John I Wang <jiwang@users.sourceforge.net> for the suggestion. | |
42 | ||
7fcd6df5 SP |
43 | 6. Fixed the output of dump to indicate 'blocks' instead of |
44 | 'tape blocks' in the various messages (blocks are always | |
45 | 1 Kilobyte, tape blocks are 1 BK * '-b' argument), and | |
46 | made it clearly print the current blocksize at the start of | |
47 | a dump. Thanks to Michal Szymanski <msz@astrouw.edu.pl> for | |
48 | the suggestions. | |
49 | ||
5bf65105 SP |
50 | 7. Made rmt understand long (largefiles) seeks. |
51 | ||
dbb649e8 SP |
52 | 8. Fixed build with very old versions of libext2fs, where |
53 | EXT2_FT_* constants were undefined. | |
54 | ||
c92d83ae SP |
55 | 9. Made dump accept the dumpdates path on the command line |
56 | (-D file option) instead of using only the hardcoded one. | |
57 | Thanks to Piete Brooks <pb22@users.sourceforge.net> for the | |
58 | suggestion. | |
59 | ||
1daf06b9 SP |
60 | 10. Enabled rmt, LFS, readline, QFA options by default in |
61 | ./configure. Updated the configure process (new versions | |
62 | of config.guess, config.sub etc). | |
63 | ||
51c11d00 SP |
64 | Changes between versions 0.4b31 and 0.4b32 (released November 15, 2002) |
65 | ======================================================================= | |
d86089d1 SP |
66 | |
67 | 1. Changed dump to use fcntl(F_SETLK) style locking instead | |
68 | of flock() when locking the dumpdates file. With the old | |
69 | locking scheme, a local user having read rights on the | |
70 | dumpdates file could be able to do a Denial of Service attack | |
71 | on dump. In order to lock the dumpdates file with the new | |
72 | scheme, the user would need to have write access on the file. | |
73 | Thanks to Richard Johnson <Richard.Johnson3@ey.com> for | |
74 | reporting the bug (originally a bugtraq post). | |

2f562f4e SP |
76 | 2. Fixed interactive 'ls' which caused spurious errors warnings |
77 | about 'undefined filetypes' detected. Thanks to Jorgen Ostling | |
78 | <jorgen_ostling@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this | |
79 | bug. | |
80 | ||
1c736b78 SP |
81 | 3. Fixed dump's estimate when dealing with sparse inodes. |
82 | ||
876861d2 SP |
83 | 4. Modified dump to allow setting a blocksize bigger than 32kB |
84 | (raised the limit to 1024kB), because newer hardware needs | |
85 | this for proper operation. Thanks to Dirk Traenapp | |
86 | <dtraenapp@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this. | |
87 | ||
b8d848c9 SP |
88 | 5. Fixed a bug causing Dump to stop and report an error if an |
89 | inode number in the exclude file was followed by some amount | |
90 | of whitespace. Thanks to Jeffrey Sofferin | |
91 | <sofferin@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this bug. | |
92 | ||
e531c442 SP |
93 | 6. Fixed a bug which caused restore, in some particular cases, |
94 | to ask some 'scary' questions and leave a bunch of RSTTMP | |
95 | directories behind when restoring incremental tapes. Thanks | |
96 | to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for reporting this bug and | |
97 | providing the test cases. | |
98 | ||
c993d83a SP |
99 | 7. Changed the wording when inodes are excluded from dump: |
100 | replaced 'Added inode 7 to exclude list' with | |
101 | 'Excluding inode 7 (resize inode) from dump', as suggested | |
102 | by Elliott Mitchell <ehem@m5p.com> in a Debian bug report. | |

cbc7fd6a | 104 | Changes between versions 0.4b30 and 0.4b31 (released July 30, 2002) |
ba3af39e SP |
105 | =================================================================== |
106 | ||
107 | 1. Fixed rmt open flags transmission (GNU's symbolic syntax over | |
108 | rmt) which I broke in 0.4b29. Thanks to Eros Albertazzi | |
109 | <eros@lamel.bo.cnr.it> for reporting the bug. | |
35952b8f | 110 | |
4095abc0 SP |
111 | Changes between versions 0.4b29 and 0.4b30 (released July 25, 2002) |
112 | =================================================================== | |
aa1b1e7f SP |
113 | |
114 | 1. Made dump print out the ext2 logical block number in case of a read | |
115 | error, which can be given as an argument to debugfs' ncheck command, | |
116 | in order to find out the affected inode. Added note about this | |
117 | usage in dump's man page. | |
ed7c25a3 SP |
118 | |
119 | 2. Fixed a problem in restore when reading tapes written on big | |
120 | endian machines with very old versions of dump. The patch was | |
121 | contributed by George Helffrich <george@geology.bristol.ac.uk>. | |
f75cc889 SP |
122 | |
123 | 3. Fixed the tape length calculation when using large tapes | |
124 | and compression. Thanks to Georg Lippold | |
125 | <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug. | |
a9c5ed48 SP |
126 | |
127 | 4. Added a new set of examples in dump_on_cd_2 directory, based | |
128 | on dump_on_cd examples but somewhat enhanced, supporting DVD | |
129 | media, and localized in english and german. Thanks to | |
130 | Georg Lippold <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for the new scripts. | |
131 | ||
9ca70cf6 SP |
132 | 5. Made dump save 32 bit UID/GID. Internally, this was achieved |
133 | by switching from the old BSD inode format to the new BSD | |
134 | inode format, which means that the tape format was changed. | |
135 | However, since all restore versions out there should | |
136 | transparently support both inode formats, the change should | |
137 | have no side effects. Thanks to John Yu <jky@cs.bu.edu> for | |
138 | reporting the bug. | |
a18d5997 SP |
139 | |
140 | 6. Fixed a lot of warnings in the code shown when compiling | |
141 | with 'gcc -W'. Thanks to Matthias Andree | |
142 | <matthias.andree@stud.uni-dortmund.de> for reporting this. | |
143 | ||
2a2e321d SP |
144 | 7. Fixed a small markup bug in the dump man page. Thanks to |
145 | Eric S. Raymond <esr@minx.thyrsus.com> for submitting the | |
146 | patch. | |
147 | ||
153f9a83 SP |
148 | 8. Rewrote entirely the man pages using the tmac.an macro |
149 | package (Linux man page format) instead of the original BSD | |
150 | format. They should be now cleaner and easier to modify. | |
151 | ||
cf88ef4c SP |
152 | Changes between versions 0.4b28 and 0.4b29 (released June 8, 2002) |
153 | ================================================================== | |
d24dc8af SP |
154 | |
155 | 1. Fixed a problem in the rmt ioctl command, where ioctl's issued from | |
156 | non Linux clients were misinterpreted. The description of the problem | |
157 | (incompatible numbering in Linux mtio opcodes) is documented at | |
158 | ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/star/README.mtio . Thanks to | |
159 |
