2 | |
3 | Changes between versions 0.4b41 and 0.4b42 (released xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) | |
4 | ===================================================================== | |
5 | ||
6 | 1. Fix printout of the 'Connection to' message in dump/restore. | |
7 | Thanks to Dale Wiles <dwiles@users.sourceforge.net> for the | |
8 | bug report and its fix. | |
b630baf0 | 9 | |
c43794b1 SP |
10 | 2. Fix dump -w/-W output for filesystems having the last backup |
11 | level equal to 0. Thanks to Pascal Bouchareine | |
12 | <kalou@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug. | |
13 | ||
7f7d329e SP |
14 | 3. Enable restore to handle restoring onto a different SELinux |
15 | policy from the dump. Thanks to Tony Nelson | |
16 | <tony_nelson@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch. | |
17 | (see http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189845 | |
18 | for details) | |
19 | ||
db80efa5 SP |
20 | 4. Fix EA set failures when restoring immutable files. Thanks |
21 | to Andrew Kroeger for the patch. | |
22 | ||
4a9a33ef SP |
23 | 5. Fix "mode file too large" errors when restoring huge backups. |
24 | Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug | |
25 | report. | |
26 | ||
d2816d4c SP |
27 | 6. Add the ability to link against libtinfo library if present, |
28 | instead of libtermcap or libncurses libraries. Thanks to | |
29 | Adam Tkac <atkac@redhat.com> for the patch. | |
30 | ||
03dbfe05 SP |
31 | 7. When comparing a backup, do not consider to be an error the fact |
32 | that we encounter files created while dump was in progress. | |
33 | Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug | |
34 | report. | |
35 | ||
d93c86b3 SP |
36 | 8. Force '-a' to be the default value when running 'restore -C'. |
37 | Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug | |
38 | report. | |
39 | ||
b35abb32 | 40 | 9. Many improvements to the 'cron_dump_to_disk' example. |
a405c61d SP |
41 | Thanks to Aaron S. Hawley <ashawley@users.sourceforge.net> for |
42 | the patch. | |
43 | ||
eb1636e9 SP |
44 | 10. Fix the QFA generation when extended attributes are backuped |
45 | along with the inodes. Prior to this fix, the entries for | |
46 | some inodes may get corrupted (duplicated entries or incorrect | |
47 | ones), making the QFA file unusable for repositionning in | |
48 | restore. Many thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@sewingwitch.com> | |
49 | for the bug report and the testing of the fix. | |
50 | ||
11997d3b SP |
51 | 11. Fix EA restoration in debug mode (Sourceforge bug #1986216). |
52 | ||
34ec103e SP |
53 | 12. Stefan Auracher <star7@onlinehome.de> noticed that the Tower |
54 | of Hanoi backup strategy documented in the man page wasn't | |
55 | actually based on the Tower of Hanoi algorithm. The man page | |
56 | was updated accordingly. | |
57 | ||
370f48b6 | 58 | Changes between versions 0.4b40 and 0.4b41 (released January 2, 2006) |
54ebfc01 | 59 | ===================================================================== |
b630baf0 SP |
60 | |
61 | 1. Fix restore of dumped Access Control Lists. The previous | |
62 | code for EA works fine, but ACLs needed conversion from the | |
63 | ext2/3 disk format to posix_acl format before restoring. | |
f30c53e5 | 64 | |
cb6d3f79 SP |
65 | 2. Fix some issues with restoration of EA on big endian |
66 | platforms. | |
67 | ||
26ce8fc8 SP |
68 | 3. Fix restore when the symtab is over 2GB in size. |
69 | ||
df3d2ef9 SP |
70 | 4. Made the directory hash indexing an optional feature, |
71 | accessible by the '-H' option of restore, and disable it | |
72 | by default. | |
73 | ||
0c78942b SP |
74 | 5. Fixed dump to not include extended attributes information |
75 | in the toc (archive) file which confused restore -t. | |
76 | ||
84182f10 SP |
77 | Changes between versions 0.4b39 and 0.4b40 (released May 2, 2005) |
78 | ================================================================= | |
f30c53e5 SP |
79 | |
80 | 1. Changed restore to emit warnings (instead of emitting a fatal | |
81 | error) if a file (or a directory) is unavailable for a | |
82 | comparision (if the user doesn't have the necessary permissions | |
83 | to access it for example). Thanks to Kenneth Porter | |
84 | <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug report. | |
35ed8cf8 | 85 | |
979da669 SP |
86 | 2. Re-done the 'do not save directory entries to non-dumped inodes |
87 | (excluded from dump)' feature. The previous implementation | |
88 | worked well for excluded directories but not for regular files. | |
89 | Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug | |
90 | report. | |
91 | ||
1ba0c4bb SP |
92 | 3. Fixed a bug in dump where the tape size was miscalculated when |
93 | the user used -d/-s to specify the tape characteristics. Thanks | |
94 | to Philip Goisman <goisman@physics.arizona.edu> for reporting | |
95 | the bug. | |
96 | ||
c21722b0 SP |
97 | 4. Fixed another bug introduced in restore with the hashtree |
98 | implementation. This one caused restore to stop saying | |
99 | "removenode: non-empty directory" in some cases. | |
100 | ||
cca7148b SP |
101 | 5. Added support for dumping and restoring ext2/3 extended |
102 | attributes (EA), like the access control lists (ACL) or | |
103 | the security labels used by SELinux. | |
104 | ||
debbffbc SP |
105 | Changes between versions 0.4b38 and 0.4b39 (released January 21, 2005) |
106 | ====================================================================== | |
35ed8cf8 SP |
107 | |
108 | 1. The newly added dump_on_cd_3 example was buggy, replace it | |
109 | with an updated version from Andrew Basterfield | |
110 | <bob@cemetery.homeunix.org>. | |
b79d20f1 | 111 | |
30e8407d SP |
112 | 2. Made restore to chdir() back into the initial directory when |
113 | dumping core while aborting a comparision operation. The | |
114 | previous behaviour was to write the corefile at the root of | |
115 | the directory being compared, which could very well be | |
116 | read only and preventing the corefile generation. Thanks | |
117 | to Kenneth Porter <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for the bug report. | |
118 | ||
b43981b3 SP |
119 | 3. Silenced the failure to call fgetflags() when comparing an |
120 | entry which has no ext2 attributes (as in lsattr()). | |
121 | ||
68415469 SP |
122 | 4. Fix a brown paper bug in restore -C which broke restore and |
123 | caused modifications on the filesystem being compared | |
124 | (directories containing a file with the same name as the | |
125 | directory get renamed to RSTTMP...). Thanks to Kenneth Porter | |
126 | <shiva@sewingwitch.com> for finding the bug and helping me | |
127 | reproduce it. | |
128 | ||
18dc6e86 SP |
129 | 5. Made restore -C force the -N flag (no writing allowed on |
130 | the disk) in order to prevent more bugs like the above one. | |
131 | ||
cdd136ec SP |
132 | Changes between versions 0.4b37 and 0.4b38 (released January 7, 2005) |
133 | ===================================================================== | |
b79d20f1 SP |
134 | |
135 | 1. Fix a couple of troff syntax bugs in the man pages. | |
136 | Thanks to Eric Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com> for the patch. | |
d7783603 | 137 | |
0556ca22 SP |
138 | 2. Made restore use either libncurses or libtermcap, depending |
139 | on which one is available at configure time. | |
140 | ||
7d422735 SP |
141 | 3. Fixed restore negative size display bug when comparing a |
142 | dump containing files over 2GB. Thanks to Steve Bonds | |
143 | <sbonds@users.sourceforge.net> for the bug report. | |
144 | ||
585ca01a SP |
145 | 4. Do not save directory entries to non-dumped inodes |
146 | (excluded from dump). This will eliminate the 'missing | |
147 | file' warnings when doing 'restore -C'. | |
148 | ||
241ddca3 SP |
149 | 5. Fix dump crash when backuping a huge (2TB) filesystem, |
150 | due to a bogus calculation on the inode map size. | |
151 | Thanks to Kevin B. Haines <K.B.Haines@rl.ac.uk> for | |
152 | submitting the bug and testing the fix. | |
153 | ||
47acd076 SP |
154 | 6. Fix a problem in restore where the final \0 in the symbolic |
155 | link names could have been lost, generating corrupt filenames. | |
156 | Thanks to Kyle Wilson <kyle.wilson@amd.com> for reporting the | |
157 | bug. | |
158 | ||
741eb204 SP |
159 | 7. Implemented a hash list for the directory names in restore. |
160 | The linear list used before caused problems in interactive | |
161 | restores when dealing with directories having thousands of | |
162 | entries. Thanks to Brian Ristuccia <bristuccia@starentnetworks.com> | |
163 | for reporting the bug. | |
164 | ||
a55ce914 SP |
165 | 8. Improved restore -C, this time including the directory |
166 | attributes into the comparision. | |
167 | ||
168 | 9. Made restore understand tapes containing EA/ACLs (which will | |
169 | be dumped by the next version of dump). In this version | |
170 | extended attributes on the tape are ignored, for full EA/ACL | |
171 | support wait for the next version or try the experimental EA | |
172 | patch. | |
173 | ||
498a402f SP |
174 | Changes between versions 0.4b36 and 0.4b37 (released July 7, 2004) |
175 | ================================================================== | |
d7783603 SP |
176 | |
177 | 1. Added the --enable-staticz configure option which enables | |
178 | dump and restore to be linked with static versions of | |
179 | libz and libbz2 (and dynamic versions of all other libraries). | |
180 | This will make Debian users happy, because libz and libbz2 | |
181 | were the only needed libraries living in /usr, all the | |
182 | others live in /lib. In case of system emergency, it is | |
183 | better not to have to rely on an extra filesystem. | |
184 | Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for the suggestion. | |
e0267986 | 185 | |
b3f55532 SP |
186 | 2. Fix compilation on (at least the Linux Debian port to) AMD64. |
187 | (<ext2fs/ext2_types.h> defines some types (__s64 and __u64) | |
188 | that are also defined by <linux/types.h> (<asm/types.h>) and | |
189 | they conflict). | |
190 | ||
1f2c193e SP |
191 | 3. Make dump's reading of the dumpdates file a bit more robust, |
192 | preventing dump from crashing when the dumpdates file has | |
193 | been modified by hand. | |
194 | ||
e1e4be20 SP |
195 | 4. Fixed some offset calculations in dump code which could |
196 | lead to "bread lseek errors" on large filesystems. Thanks | |
197 | to Bruce Lowekamp <lowekamp@users.sourceforge.net> for | |
198 | reporting this bug and debugging the issue. | |
199 | ||
c9e4e868 SP |
200 | 5. Made dump use the blkid library when searching for devices |
201 | by label or uuid instead of dump's own routines. | |
202 | ||
97be3358 SP |
203 | 6. Corrected a bug in dump where a wrong LABEL=... line in |
204 | /etc/fstab could prevent dump from dumping unrelated | |
205 | filesystems. Thanks to Bruce Lowekamp | |
206 | <lowekamp@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug. | |
207 | ||
ddf54486 SP |
208 | Changes between versions 0.4b35 and 0.4b36 (released April 21, 2004) |
209 | ==================================================================== | |
e0267986 SP |
210 | |
211 | 1. Fixed dump compilation with old gcc versions. Thanks to | |
212 | Mike Castle <dalgoda@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch. | |
8ad151aa | 213 | |
75654eee SP |
214 | 2. Fixed some warnings (howmany, roundup, powerof2 redefined) |
215 | when compiling against a recent glibc version. | |
216 | ||
43e6ea49 SP |
217 | 3. Fixed a bug in restore preventing the read of a dump tape |
218 | written with Solaris 7 ufsdump. Thanks to Patrick Higgins | |
219 | <phiggins@transzap.com> for reporting the bug and providing | |
220 | the test case. | |
221 | ||
d435f57f SP |
222 | 4. Changed dump to enable the creation of volumes of different |
223 | sizes in a single run (make -B accept a list of values). | |
224 | Patch contributed by Florian Zumbiehl <florz@gmx.de>. | |
225 | ||
e1ba02ef SP |
226 | 5. Use the glibc provided minor() and major() macros instead |
227 | of our own bitmask implementation. This should be safe for | |
228 | when the major/minor namespace will migrate to 32 bits. | |
229 | Thanks to Zhang Jun <zhangjun@nanjing-fnst.com> for reporting | |
230 | the bug. | |
231 | ||
ae6919a7 SP |
232 | 6. Made explicit in the dump man page that dump will not create |
233 | a remote file, it will only write to an already existing one. | |
234 | ||
4acaf865 SP |
235 | 7. Another try at making size estimates better again. |
236 | ||
956756f2 SP |
237 | 8. Put back the inconditional running of the end-of-tape |
238 | script which was changed in 0.434 to be run only when -M | |
239 | or multiple -f were NOT specified. Some users rely on this | |
240 | feature even when it is combined with -M/-f. | |
241 | ||
e4e31ce9 SP |
242 | 9. Fixed restore when restoring huge backups (where rstdir... |
243 | temporary files are over 2GB). Thanks to | |
244 | Raphael Jaffey <rjaffey@artic.edu> for reporting this, | |
245 | debugging the issue and making the patch. | |
246 | ||
cc7747eb SP |
247 | 10. Made restore understand FreeBSD UFS2 tapes. Thanks to |
248 | David <vrtin@users.sourceforge.net> for submitting the bug | |
249 | and providing a test case. | |
250 | ||
28ba5cae SP |
251 | 11. Made dump work with an arbitrary integer level (no more 10 |
252 | levels only limitation). Thanks to Matthew | |
253 | <msvincen@midway.uchicago.edu> for the patch. | |
254 | ||
dcac75e9 SP |
255 | Changes between versions 0.4b34 and 0.4b35 (released December 21, 2003) |
256 | ======================================================================= | |
8ad151aa SP |
257 | |
258 | 1. Added a note in the dump man page saying that the default | |
259 | blocksize can be 32 if -d is used with a high density argument. | |
260 | Thanks to Antonios Christofides <A.Christofides@itia.ntua.gr> | |
261 | for the patch. | |
ed194aec | 262 | |
008af419 SP |
263 | 2. Fixed configure to correctly understand CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, |
264 | LDFLAGS environment variables. Thanks to Arcady Genkin | |
265 | <antipode@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug. | |
266 | ||
0d4dfd07 | 267 | 3. Made -e/-E options of dump accept an unlimited number of inodes |
67793be0 SP |
268 | to be excluded, rather than a hardcoded maximum. Thanks to |
269 | Dietrich Rothe <d-rothe@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch. | |
270 | ||
0d4dfd07 SP |
271 | 4. Updated the autoconf system to 2.50. Forced the -D_BSD_SOURCE |
272 | and -D_USE_BSD_SIGNAL defines in configure in order to solve | |
273 | 64bit build problems because quad_t is redifined with a | |
274 | different signature. Thanks to Mike Harris <mharris@redhat.com> | |
275 | for reporting this bug. | |
276 | ||
5d8d264f | 277 | 5. Made restore build on Solaris, making possible to |
d1925e0c SP |
278 | restore Linux's "enhanced" tapes. Thanks to Uwe Gohlke |
279 | <uwe@ugsoft.de> for the patch. | |
280 | ||
281 | 6. Made an extension in the dump tape format capable of saving | |
282 | MacOSX specific inode extensions. Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de> | |
283 | wrote the extension and contributed the restore code back | |
284 | into this codebase. The same extension mechanism will be | |
285 | used in the future to save ACLs... | |
286 | ||
287 | 7. Made rmt work correctly with regard to QFA and local/remote | |
288 | files and tapes. The remote access will however work only | |
289 | when the dump provided rmt version is used. If you want to | |
290 | use another rmt server, please do not use the QFA feature. | |
5d8d264f | 291 | Thanks to Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de> for the patch. |
d1925e0c | 292 | |
b564cb84 SP |
293 | Changes between versions 0.4b33 and 0.4b34 (released April 18, 2003) |
294 | ==================================================================== | |
ed194aec SP |
295 | |
296 | 1. Fixed the INSTALL file to reflect the actual install paths. | |
297 | Thanks to David Ronis <ronis@ronispc.chem.mcgill.ca> for | |
298 | reporting the bug. | |
4bb009da | 299 | |
d3e542e7 SP |
300 | 2. Fixed the configure script to only check for headers presence |
301 | instead of trying to compile them. This should fix issues | |
302 | with old build environments. Thanks to Kari Lempiainen | |
303 | <kari@funky.pp.fi> for reporting the bug. | |
304 | ||
1176b3c1 SP |
305 | 3. Fixed restore to correctly ignore sockets when comparing |
306 | a dump (as socket cannot be properly restored anyway). Thanks | |
2d32c89c SP |
307 | to Gunther Reiszig <gunther@mit.edu> for reporting the bug. |
308 | ||
309 | 4. Fixed restore to correctly access the archive file (-A argument) | |
310 | even when using a remote tape. Thanks to Fabrice Bellet | |
311 | <fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting the bug. | |
1176b3c1 | 312 | |
900bffdb SP |
313 | 5. Fixed (again) handling of long (largefile) seeks in rmt. |
314 | Thanks to Fabrice Bellet <fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting | |
315 | the bug. | |
316 | ||
6d834d25 SP |
317 | 6. Fixed restore corner case when dealing with large block sizes |
318 | dump is able to write now (-b 1024). Thanks to Fabrice Bellet | |
319 | <fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting the bug. | |
320 | ||
cdef84ca SP |
321 | 7. Fixed a bug preventing dump to access a filesystem having |
322 | a label exactly 16 bytes in length. Thanks to <minduni@ti-edu.ch> | |
323 | for reporting the bug. | |
324 | ||
3458b64d SP |
325 | 8. Made dump store dump dates using explicit timezones, fixing a |
326 | problem with incremental dumps if the timezone is modified | |
327 | between the dumps. Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for | |
328 | the bug report and the patch. | |
329 | ||
2be77799 SP |
330 | 9. Fixed a bug encountered when dumping individual files (not full |
331 | filesystems or directories) and dangling symbolic links happen | |
332 | to be in the list of files. For as far as dump is concerned, | |
333 | dangling symbolic links are allowed, and are dumped as is. | |
334 | Thanks to Jin-su Ahn <jsahn@ee.snu.ac.kr> for reporting the | |
335 | bug and providing the fix. | |
336 | ||
c3f69f06 SP |
337 | 10. Fixed open and creation modes and permissions for QFA and |
338 | table-of-contents files in dump and restore. Thanks to | |
339 | Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch. | |
340 | ||
341 | 11. Fixed the archive file descriptor handling enabling it to be 0. | |
342 | This can happen in some cases when shell redirections are used. | |
343 | Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch. | |
344 | ||
345 | 12. Delayed the opening of archive file until after suid had been | |
346 | dropped (fixing a possible security issue if dump is suid). | |
347 | Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch. | |
348 | ||
349 | 13. Fixed the 'S' command handling in the rmt client part. | |
350 | Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch. | |
351 | ||
352 | 14. Modified the end-of-tape script handling to print out statistics | |
353 | (and stop the timer) before launching the eot script. Also, the eot | |
354 | script does not get run anymore when using -M (which makes sense) or | |
355 | when multiple tapes are listed on the command line | |
356 | (-f tape0,tape1,tapen) (which also makes sense). | |
357 | Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch. | |
358 | ||
e1abc9ce SP |
359 | 15. Relicensed dump/restore under the 'revised' BSD license, as per |
360 | ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change. | |
361 | ||
206f768c SP |
362 | 16. Added LZO compression to dump. This new compression method has |
363 | the advantage of being super fast, thus not killing tape streaming | |
364 | on slow machines. Thanks to Helmut Jarausch | |
365 | <jarausch@igpm.rwth-aachen.de> for the patch and to | |
366 | Markus Oberhumer <markus@oberhumer.com> for giving special permission | |
367 | to include his miniLZO project (GPL licensed) in dump/restore. | |
368 | ||
e2392789 SP |
369 | 17. Some small buffer overruns fixes in rmt. Thanks to Antonomasia |
370 | <ant@notatla.demon.co.uk> for reporting the bugs. | |
371 | ||
cdfe1392 SP |
372 | 18. Added a special rmt version which can do encryption when writing |
373 | to tape. Read examples/encrypted_rmt/README for details on | |
374 | how to enable and configure it. Thanks to Ken Lalonde | |
375 | <ken@globalremit.com> for the patch. | |
376 | ||

377 | 19. Made dump work with 2.5 kernel end of tape early warning semantics. |
378 | Thanks to Kai Makisara <Kai.Makisara@kolumbus.fi> for the patch. | |
379 | ||
8c95cc30 SP |
380 | 20. Fixed a bug which caused dump -w|-W not to work anymore, because |
381 | the fs_freq and fs_passno fields in /etc/mtab are always set | |
382 | to 0 0. Thanks to Trent Piepho <xyzzy@speakeasy.org> for | |
383 | reporting the bug. | |

4bb009da SP |
386 | ======================================================================= |
387 | ||
388 | 1. Added a note in the restore man page clarifying the question | |
389 | 'set the permissions on the current directory ?' asked by | |
390 | restore at the end of treatment in -i and -x modes. | |
d86089d1 | 391 | |
c898ca7a SP |
392 | 2. Fixed the endianess issues when reading compressed tapes. |
393 | Thanks to Dark Force <daq4th@users.sourceforge.net> for | |
394 | reporting this bug and providing test cases. | |
395 | ||
a028bdc8 SP |
396 | 3. Fixed the "ACL won't be dumped" warning message (which showed |
397 | an extra, unrelated error message). Thanks to Dragan Krnic | |
398 | <dkrnic@lycos.com> for reporting this bug. | |
399 | ||
a8a6a503 | 400 | 4. Made dump look first into /etc/mtab, then into /etc/fstab |
1a886de8 SP |
401 | when searching for filesystem paths. Also fixed some problems |
402 | caused by binding mounts or multiple block device mounts. | |
403 | Thanks to Matus Uhlar <uhlar@fantomas.sk>, Elliott Mitchell | |
a8a6a503 SP |
404 | <ehem@m5p.com>, Greg Edwards <gedwards@users.sourceforge.net>, |
405 | Brian Hoy <brian.hoy@opus.co.nz>. (fixes Debian bugs #147086 | |
406 | and #160305, Sourceforge bugs #618699 and #679832). | |
1a886de8 | 407 | |
3211c85b SP |
408 | 5. Made dump's -I option accept the value '0' meaning all the |
409 | read errors will be ignored. This can be useful when running | |
410 | dump from unattended sessions (like cron jobs). Thanks to | |
411 | John I Wang <jiwang@users.sourceforge.net> for the suggestion. | |
412 | ||
7fcd6df5 SP |
413 | 6. Fixed the output of dump to indicate 'blocks' instead of |
414 | 'tape blocks' in the various messages (blocks are always | |
415 | 1 Kilobyte, tape blocks are 1 BK * '-b' argument), and | |
416 | made it clearly print the current blocksize at the start of | |
417 | a dump. Thanks to Michal Szymanski <msz@astrouw.edu.pl> for | |
418 | the suggestions. | |
419 | ||
5bf65105 SP |
420 | 7. Made rmt understand long (largefiles) seeks. |
421 | ||
dbb649e8 SP |
422 | 8. Fixed build with very old versions of libext2fs, where |
423 | EXT2_FT_* constants were undefined. | |
424 | ||
c92d83ae SP |
425 | 9. Made dump accept the dumpdates path on the command line |
426 | (-D file option) instead of using only the hardcoded one. | |
427 | Thanks to Piete Brooks <pb22@users.sourceforge.net> for the | |
428 | suggestion. | |
429 | ||
1daf06b9 SP |
430 | 10. Enabled rmt, LFS, readline, QFA options by default in |
431 | ./configure. Updated the configure process (new versions | |
432 | of config.guess, config.sub etc). | |
433 | ||
51c11d00 SP |
434 | Changes between versions 0.4b31 and 0.4b32 (released November 15, 2002) |
435 | ======================================================================= | |
d86089d1 SP |
436 | |
437 | 1. Changed dump to use fcntl(F_SETLK) style locking instead | |
438 | of flock() when locking the dumpdates file. With the old | |
439 | locking scheme, a local user having read rights on the | |
440 | dumpdates file could be able to do a Denial of Service attack | |
441 | on dump. In order to lock the dumpdates file with the new | |
442 | scheme, the user would need to have write access on the file. | |
443 | Thanks to Richard Johnson <Richard.Johnson3@ey.com> for | |
444 | reporting the bug (originally a bugtraq post). | |
ba3af39e | 445 | |
2f562f4e SP |
446 | 2. Fixed interactive 'ls' which caused spurious errors warnings |
447 | about 'undefined filetypes' detected. Thanks to Jorgen Ostling | |
448 | <jorgen_ostling@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this | |
449 | bug. | |
450 | ||
1c736b78 SP |
451 | 3. Fixed dump's estimate when dealing with sparse inodes. |
452 | ||
876861d2 SP |
453 | 4. Modified dump to allow setting a blocksize bigger than 32kB |
454 | (raised the limit to 1024kB), because newer hardware needs | |
455 | this for proper operation. Thanks to Dirk Traenapp | |
456 | <dtraenapp@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this. | |
457 | ||
b8d848c9 SP |
458 | 5. Fixed a bug causing Dump to stop and report an error if an |
459 | inode number in the exclude file was followed by some amount | |
460 | of whitespace. Thanks to Jeffrey Sofferin | |
461 | <sofferin@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this bug. | |
462 | ||
e531c442 SP |
463 | 6. Fixed a bug which caused restore, in some particular cases, |
464 | to ask some 'scary' questions and leave a bunch of RSTTMP | |
465 | directories behind when restoring incremental tapes. Thanks | |
466 | to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for reporting this bug and | |
467 | providing the test cases. | |
468 | ||
c993d83a SP |
469 | 7. Changed the wording when inodes are excluded from dump: |
470 | replaced 'Added inode 7 to exclude list' with | |
471 | 'Excluding inode 7 (resize inode) from dump', as suggested | |
472 | by Elliott Mitchell <ehem@m5p.com> in a Debian bug report. | |

cbc7fd6a | 474 | Changes between versions 0.4b30 and 0.4b31 (released July 30, 2002) |
ba3af39e SP |
475 | =================================================================== |
476 | ||
477 | 1. Fixed rmt open flags transmission (GNU's symbolic syntax over | |
478 | rmt) which I broke in 0.4b29. Thanks to Eros Albertazzi | |
479 | <eros@lamel.bo.cnr.it> for reporting the bug. | |
35952b8f | 480 | |
4095abc0 SP |
481 | Changes between versions 0.4b29 and 0.4b30 (released July 25, 2002) |
482 | =================================================================== | |
aa1b1e7f SP |
483 | |
484 | 1. Made dump print out the ext2 logical block number in case of a read | |
485 | error, which can be given as an argument to debugfs' ncheck command, | |
486 | in order to find out the affected inode. Added note about this | |
487 | usage in dump's man page. | |
ed7c25a3 SP |
488 | |
489 | 2. Fixed a problem in restore when reading tapes written on big | |
490 | endian machines with very old versions of dump. The patch was | |
491 | contributed by George Helffrich <george@geology.bristol.ac.uk>. | |
f75cc889 SP |
492 | |
493 | 3. Fixed the tape length calculation when using large tapes | |
494 | and compression. Thanks to Georg Lippold | |
495 | <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug. | |
a9c5ed48 SP |
496 | |
497 | 4. Added a new set of examples in dump_on_cd_2 directory, based | |
498 | on dump_on_cd examples but somewhat enhanced, supporting DVD | |
499 | media, and localized in english and german. Thanks to | |
500 | Georg Lippold <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for the new scripts. | |
501 | ||
9ca70cf6 SP |
502 | 5. Made dump save 32 bit UID/GID. Internally, this was achieved |
503 | by switching from the old BSD inode format to the new BSD | |
504 | inode format, which means that the tape format was changed. | |
505 | However, since all restore versions out there should | |
506 | transparently support both inode formats, the change should | |
507 | have no side effects. Thanks to John Yu <jky@cs.bu.edu> for | |
508 | reporting the bug. | |
a18d5997 SP |
509 | |
510 | 6. Fixed a lot of warnings in the code shown when compiling | |
511 | with 'gcc -W'. Thanks to Matthias Andree | |
512 | <matthias.andree@stud.uni-dortmund.de> for reporting this. | |
513 | ||
2a2e321d SP |
514 | 7. Fixed a small markup bug in the dump man page. Thanks to |
515 | Eric S. Raymond <esr@minx.thyrsus.com> for submitting the | |
516 | patch. | |
517 | ||
153f9a83 SP |
518 | 8. Rewrote entirely the man pages using the tmac.an macro |
519 | package (Linux man page format) instead of the original BSD | |
520 | format. They should be now cleaner and easier to modify. | |
521 | ||
cf88ef4c SP |
522 | Changes between versions 0.4b28 and 0.4b29 (released June 8, 2002) |
523 | ================================================================== | |
d24dc8af SP |
524 | |
525 | 1. Fixed a problem in the rmt ioctl command, where ioctl's issued from | |
526 | non Linux clients were misinterpreted. The description of the problem | |
527 | (incompatible numbering in Linux mtio opcodes) is documented at | |
528 | ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/star/README.mtio . Thanks to | |
