2 | |
3 | Changes between versions 0.4b17 and 0.4b19 (released ?????????????) | |
4 | =================================================================== | |
5 | ||
6 | 1. Fixed the signal handling in dump (which I broke in 0.4b17) | |
7 | which was causing several strange dump failures (dump | |
8 | hanged or segmentation faults etc). | |
ddf0df5b | 9 | |
65bceb9b SP |
10 | 2. Specified the default blocksize in the dump man page. |
11 | ||
57b19d7f SP |
12 | 3. Changed two info messages of restore to be written on stdout |
13 | instead of stderr in order to leave stderr only for errors | |
14 | or warnings. Thanks to Stephen Atwell | |
15 | <satwell@urbana.css.mot.com> for the suggestion. | |
16 | ||
4f94452b SP |
17 | 4. Corrected an off by one calculation which prevented |
18 | dumping a directory having a 1 character name length. | |
19 | Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de> | |
20 | for reporting the bug. | |
21 | ||
79e31865 SP |
22 | 5. Reinforce dump in order to allow only level 0 and no |
23 | -u option when dumping a subdirectory, and document | |
24 | this in the man page. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann | |
25 | <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de> for reporting the bug. | |
26 | ||
9be511dc SP |
27 | 6. Fixed a small harmless bug in restore which caused |
28 | in some conditions hard links to be restored several | |
29 | times (therefore generation some warning messages). | |
30 | Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com> for | |
31 | reporting the bug. | |
32 | ||
1d568d1b SP |
33 | 7. Update the RPM spec file to the latest RedHat version, |
34 | providing FHS packaging and other cosmetic changes. | |
35 | ||
8cca05cc SP |
36 | Changes between versions 0.4b17 and 0.4b18 (released June 30, 2000) |
37 | =================================================================== | |
ddf0df5b SP |
38 | |
39 | 1. Fixed a potential buffer overflow in restore. Thanks | |
40 | to Stan Bubrouski <satan@fastdial.net> for reporting | |
41 | the bug. | |
30a43325 | 42 | |
64bb207a SP |
43 | 2. Fixed a readline-related bug which prevented |
44 | 'cat DUMPFILE | restore -i -f -' from working. Thanks | |
45 | to Charles Karney <karney@users.sourceforge.net> | |
46 | for the bug report. | |
47 | ||
d572dbfd SP |
48 | 3. Changed a few "panic" into "exit", causing restore to |
49 | be more stable against some attacks (like the last one | |
50 | reported on Bugtraq, although the last version of restore | |
51 | was not vulnerable - just dumped core). Thanks to | |
52 | Andreas Hasenack <andreas@conectiva.com.br> for reporting | |
53 | the bugs to me. | |
54 | ||
882090d1 SP |
55 | 4. Removed the suid-root bit on dump and restore in the |
56 | default build (and generated RPMs). It should be safer | |
57 | now. Users who need the suid-root capabilities in order | |
58 | to make network backups should read first the man page | |
59 | of dump and enable the suid bit manually. | |
60 | ||
5e04cc92 SP |
61 | 5. Added -ltermcap to the compile parameters for restore |
62 | when using readline support, in order to make the compile | |
63 | process work on some systems (SuSE ?). Thanks to | |
64 | Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for reporting the bug. | |
65 | ||
ac443b63 | 66 | Changes between versions 0.4b16 and 0.4b17 (released June 1st, 2000) |
30a43325 SP |
67 | ==================================================================== |
68 | ||
69 | 1. The -F script is called now *only* at the end of a tape, | |
49023a9d | 70 | not at the end of the dump. Thanks to Christian Haul |
30a43325 SP |
71 | <haul@informatik.tu-darmstadt.de> for the bug report. |
72 | ||
d8574d45 SP |
73 | Normally, the device name and the current volume number |
74 | are passed on the command line of the script. However, | |
75 | if you want the old style script (with no arguments | |
76 | passed on the command line), you can enable it in | |
77 | configure with the --enable-oldstylefscript. | |
78 | ||
30a43325 SP |
79 | 2. Use posix signal handling to preserve dump functionality |
80 | with libc5. Thanks to Jeff Johnson <jbj@redhat.com> for | |
81 | the patch. | |
d65ed175 | 82 | |
3d78f5f2 SP |
83 | 3. Made the exit code of restore in case of a 'C'ompare |
84 | command reflect the result of the compare. An exit status | |
85 | of 0 means the dump archive is correct, 1 means tape errors, | |
d8574d45 SP |
86 | 2 means that some files were modified. Thanks to Kenneth Porter |
87 | <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion. | |
3d78f5f2 | 88 | |
d8574d45 | 89 | 4. Made (finally) quotes work in interactive restore. |
386d48c0 | 90 | |
a110deb5 | 91 | 5. Small fixes in order to allow dump to compile with a |
d8574d45 SP |
92 | really old e2fsprogs version. Thanks to Ian Zimmerman |
93 | <itz@speakeasy.org> for the bug report. | |
a110deb5 | 94 | |
c38e5b6a SP |
95 | 6. Add GNU readline capabilities to interactive restore. |
96 | Use configure's --enable-readline flag to enable this feature. | |
d8574d45 SP |
97 | Thanks to Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for the |
98 | suggestion. | |
99 | ||
100 | 7. Do the compare on the fly in restore 'C' mode (this will | |
101 | allow not to exhaust the available /tmp space when | |
102 | ccmparing large files). Thanks to Kenneth Porter | |
103 | <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion. | |
c38e5b6a | 104 | |
107a347c SP |
105 | Changes between versions 0.4b15 and 0.4b16 (released March 11, 2000) |
106 | ==================================================================== | |
d65ed175 SP |
107 | |
108 | 1. Fixed some several duplicate 'DUMP: DUMP:' in the | |
109 | output of dump. | |
d3393043 | 110 | |
cbc94239 SP |
111 | 2. Corrected the estimation of blocks to dump. Note that |
112 | this is still wrong for large directory inodes, due | |
113 | to the size of a BSD directory entry on the tape | |
114 | (estimation is based on the size of the ext2 directory, | |
115 | which is smaller because it doesn't contain the null | |
116 | character at the end). | |
117 | ||
118 | 3. Made dump report the total number of MB written to | |
119 | tape at the end of run. Thanks to W. Reilly Cooley | |
120 | <wcooley@nakedape.cc> for the patch. | |
121 | ||
08db2b86 SP |
122 | 4. Added the -X option to restore giving the possibility |
123 | to read the names of the files to be extracted/listed | |
1a05d45d SP |
124 | from a text file (in addition of the command line). |
125 | Thanks to Dejan Muhamedagic <dejan@quant-x.com> for the | |
126 | patch. | |
08db2b86 | 127 | |
365a7c7c SP |
128 | 5. Added the device name and the current volume number |
129 | as arguments to the end of tape script (dump -F option). | |
130 | ||
24ea1fb9 SP |
131 | 6. Made the multi-volume dump work again (after having |
132 | broken it in 0.4b15). | |
133 | ||
2f7e72ce SP |
134 | Changes between versions 0.4b14 and 0.4b15 (released March 2, 2000) |
135 | =================================================================== | |
d3393043 SP |
136 | |
137 | 1. Added a prompt command in interactive restore mode. Thanks | |
138 | to Andreas Dilger <adilger@home.com> for the patch. | |
d6f78b13 | 139 | |
92a9bf12 SP |
140 | 2. Fixed a buffer overflow problem in dump (caused by |
141 | not checking the size of the filesystem parameter). | |
142 | Thanks to Kim Yong-jun <loveyou@hackerslab.org> for | |
143 | reporting this on Bugtraq (and to several dump users | |
144 | who forwarded me his mail). | |
145 | ||
0d7af9c5 SP |
146 | 3. Added the '-F script' option to dump in order to |
147 | launch a script at the end of each tape (to be used | |
148 | with a tape changer, or to notify the sysadmin by | |
149 | pager etc.). | |
150 | ||
151 | 4. Fixed a bug in restore compare code caused by the changes | |
152 | I made in 0.4b14. | |
153 | ||
154 | 5. Fixed the treatment of options using the old BSD syntax | |
155 | in both dump and restore. | |
156 | ||
688653ea SP |
157 | Changes between versions 0.4b13 and 0.4b14 (released February 10, 2000) |
158 | ======================================================================= | |
d6f78b13 SP |
159 | |
160 | 1. Fixed a bug in dump which may have caused invalid deleted | |
161 | directories to be dumped out if they were deleted after the | |
162 | mapping pass. This could occure on active filesystem and lead | |
163 | to heap corruption (causing dump malfunction in many possible ways). | |
164 | Thanks to Jan Sanislo <oystr@cs.washington.edu> for finding this | |
165 | bug and submitting the patch. | |
ae58c8da | 166 | |
a2c9bd28 SP |
167 | 2. Fixed the handling of the filesystem parameter in dump. A |
168 | '/mnt/disk' parameter caused the disk contents to be dumped, | |
169 | but a '/mnt/disk/' parameter caused the mountpoint directory | |
170 | to be dumped (generally an empty directory). | |
171 | ||
172 | 3. Improved the output of dump in order to tell which directory | |
173 | it is currently dumping (when dumping a subtree). | |
174 | ||
20c345aa SP |
175 | 4. Added the '-e' exclude inode option to dump. Thanks to |
176 | Isaac Chuang <ike@isl.stanford.edu> for contributing with the patch. | |
177 | ||
d8476fa5 SP |
178 | 5. Added a REPORTING-BUGS file in order to provide a guide |
179 | on how to correctly report a bug in dump/restore. | |
180 | ||
c60338a5 SP |
181 | 6. Fixed a restore problem when restoring a hard link to an inode |
182 | having the immutable or append-only attribute set. Thanks to | |
183 | Ambrose Li <acli@mingpaoxpress.com> for submitting the patch. | |
184 | ||
8eb05297 SP |
185 | 7. Fixed a compatibility problem between dumps made on little |
186 | endian machines (the format was correct) and big endian | |
187 | machines (the format was incorrect). This fix break the | |
188 | compatibility with the older dumps made on big endian | |
189 | machines (sparc, m86k, ppc etc). For the first time in | |
190 | linux dump's history (I believe), the dumps made by *BSD, | |
191 | Linux/alpha, Linux/sparc and Linux/x86 are compatible, | |
192 | so interchangeable. Thanks to Rob Cermak | |
193 | <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu> for submitting the bug and | |
194 | helping me test the fix. | |
195 | ||
196 | 8. Fixed the way dump reports the remaining percent/time, if | |
197 | the number of blocks actually dumped exceeds the estimated | |
198 | number of blocks. Thanks to Jean-Paul van der Jagt | |
199 | <jeanpaul@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl> for reporting the bug. | |
200 | ||
d4b74b5c SP |
201 | Changes between versions 0.4b12 and 0.4b13 (released January 21, 2000) |
202 | ====================================================================== | |
2f9a0c5c SP |
203 | |
204 | 1. Small Y2K fix in the man pages :). Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski | |
205 | <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug. | |
206 | ||
6dda05e4 SP |
207 | 2. Removed the requirement to build the RPM as root from the |
208 | spec file. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber | |
209 | <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for submitting this. | |
210 | ||
8d957ae7 | 211 | 3. Fixed a bug in dump related to the 'filetype' feature of ext2fs, |
f346e363 SP |
212 | causing dump to block when dumping really huge filesystems. |
213 | Many thanks to Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for | |
214 | helping me find this bug. | |
215 | ||
8d957ae7 | 216 | 4. Fixed the treatment for an interrupt signal when dump access |
b80c25f8 SP |
217 | the remote tape through RSH. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber |
218 | <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for providing the patch. | |
219 | ||
8d957ae7 SP |
220 | 5. Fixed a bug which was causing dump/restore to display |
221 | garbage characters instead of the remote host name. | |
222 | ||
2f9a0c5c | 223 | Changes between versions 0.4b11 and 0.4b12 (released January 8, 2000) |
df172bbb | 224 | ===================================================================== |
ae58c8da SP |
225 | |
226 | 1. Small fix in the dump man page. Thanks to Thorsten Kukuk | |
227 | <kukuk@suse.de> for submitting the patch. | |
2ed89fda | 228 | |
a29c23cc SP |
229 | 2. Fix for the exit code when using the size estimate option of |
230 | dump. Thanks to Matti Taskinen <mkt@rni.helsinki.fi> for | |
231 | submitting the patch. | |
232 | ||
2e682895 SP |
233 | 3. Handle EINTR in atomical reads/writes in dump, which was causing |
234 | dump to fail on some systems. Thanks to Eric Jergensen | |
235 | <eric@dvns.com> for reporting the bug and submitting the patch. | |
236 | ||
237 | 4. Handle more than 16 characters for the device names in dumpdates. | |
238 | (up to 255 now). Thanks to Rainer Clasen <bj@ncc.cicely.de> for | |
239 | tracking down the problem and proposing the solution. | |
240 | ||
241 | 5. Fixed a bug in dump which prevented the creation of the | |
242 | dumpdates file when doing a 0-level dump without already | |
243 | having a dumpdates file. Thanks to Patrik Schindler | |
244 | <poc@pocnet.net> for reporting the bug. | |
245 | ||
246 | 6. Changed the way dump 'S' flag reports the size estimate | |
247 | from number of blocks into bytes (making it compatible | |
248 | with the Solaris version, and simplifying things for | |
249 | amanda users). Thanks to Jason L Tibbitts III | |
250 | <tibbs@math.uh.edu> for reporting the bug. | |
251 | ||
0d0bc326 SP |
252 | 7. Fixed a compatibility problem in linux/alpha dump tape format. |
253 | Now the linux/alpha dump are (again) compatible with the | |
254 | other dump formats. But this breaks compatibility with | |
255 | older dumps made on alpha. Thanks to Mike Tibor | |
256 | <tibor@lib.uaa.alaska.edu> for helping me in finding this bug. | |
257 | ||
cf9aab8e | 258 | Changes between versions 0.4b10 and 0.4b11 (released December 5, 1999) |
2ed89fda SP |
259 | ====================================================================== |
260 | ||
261 | 1. Added a '--enable-kerberos' to configure. | |
5c1faba5 | 262 | |
144a6db1 | 263 | 2. Added a 'S' option to dump which determines the amount of space |
5c729713 | 264 | that is needed to perform the dump without actually doing it, similar |
144a6db1 SP |
265 | to the Sun's ufsdump 'S' option. Patch contributed by Rob Cermak |
266 | <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu>. | |
267 | ||
677ee424 SP |
268 | 3. Added a 'M' multi-volume option to dump and restore which enables |
269 | dumping to multiple files (useful when dumping to an ext2 | |
270 | partition to make several dump files in order to bypass the 2GB | |
271 | file size limitation). The 'f' argument is treated as a prefix and | |
272 | the output files will be named <prefix>001, <prefix>002 etc. With | |
273 | the 'M' flag, restore automatically selects the right file without | |
274 | asking to enter a new tape each time. | |
275 | ||
7fbb9b02 | 276 | 4. Fixed a memory leak which was causing dump to grow very big |
a29c23cc SP |
277 | (270MB when dumping a 10GB filesystem...). Thanks to Jason |
278 | Fearon <jasonf@netrider.org.au> for reporting the bug. | |
7fbb9b02 | 279 | |
27026010 SP |
280 | Changes between versions 0.4b9 and 0.4b10 (released November 21, 1999) |
281 | ====================================================================== | |
5c1faba5 SP |
282 | |
283 | 1. Make configure test if the system glob routines support | |
284 | extended syntax (ALTDIRFUNC). If not, use the internal glob | |
a95c4c36 SP |
285 | routines instead of system ones. Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski |
286 | <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug | |
287 | and helping me resolve this and other minor libc5 compiling | |
288 | glitches. | |
08ebf8d7 | 289 | |
c5886bd7 SP |
290 | 2. Fix a problem when dumping a ext2fs with the 'filetype' |
291 | feature enabled. Thanks to Patrick J. LoPresti | |
292 | <patl@cag.lcs.mit.edu> for reporting the bug and to | |
293 | Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> for providing the patch. | |
294 | ||
4267a8ad SP |
295 | 3. Made the nodump flag work on directories. A directory which |
296 | has the nodump flag gets never dumped, regardless of its | |
297 | contents. | |
298 | ||
c930abff SP |
299 | 4. Integrate a patch from Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> |
300 | which allows dump on an active ext3 filesystem. However, this | |
301 | is a "quick and dirty" patch which enables backup of an ext3 | |
302 | filesystem through the ext2 compatibility (by ignoring the | |
303 | NEEDS_RECOVERY bit). The journal file is not recognized and | |
304 | it is dumped (it should not). | |
305 | ||
306 | 5. Test the superblock compatibility flags when dumping, in order | |
307 | to be sure that we know how to deal with specific features. | |
308 | ||
08ebf8d7 SP |
309 | Changes between versions 0.4b8 and 0.4b9 (released November 5, 1999) |
310 | ==================================================================== | |
311 | ||
312 | 1. Use lchown instead of chown, fixing a possible security problem | |
313 | when restoring symlinks (a malicious user could use this | |
314 | to deliberately corrupt the ownership of important system files). | |
315 | Thanks to Chris Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for detecting | |
316 | this and providing the patch. | |
ec387a12 | 317 | |
c154548c SP |
318 | Changes between versions 0.4b7 and 0.4b8 (released November 3, 1999) |
319 | ==================================================================== | |
ec387a12 | 320 | |
df9ae507 SP |
321 | 1. Put dump sources under CVS, added Id tags in all files so |
322 | one can use 'ident' on binary files. | |
323 | ||
324 | 2. Added the dump/restore version in the usage text so one can | |
325 | easily verify the version he is using. | |
ec387a12 | 326 | |
3072400e SP |
327 | 3. Small patch from Nuno Oliveira <nuno@eq.uc.pt> which fixes |
328 | a va_start/va_end problem on linux-ppc (always call va_start | |
329 | va_end in pairs each time we use a vararg function). | |
330 | ||
fa58b58d SP |
331 | 4. Added again the DT_* constants because old libc does not |
332 | contain them :(. Thanks to Eric Maisonobe <virnet@nat.fr> | |
333 | for submitting the bug report. | |
334 | ||
f34aca37 SP |
335 | 5. Use ext2fs_llseek instead of llseek. With recent e2fsprogs |
336 | this should enable dumping big (huge) filesystems. | |
337 | ||
338 | 6. Added the RSH environment variable in order to be able to | |
0c62667d SP |
339 | use a rsh replacement like ssh when doing remote backups (and |
340 | bypass the security limitations of rcmd). Now you can do remote | |
341 | backups without being root (or making dump setuid root). | |
342 | ||
f34aca37 | 343 | 7. Modified again the way dumpdates works. For incremental dumps, |
60f5ede9 SP |
344 | we need to read dumpdates even if we are not using 'u' option. |
345 | Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for his ideas on how | |
346 | this should work. | |
347 | ||
8d4197bb SP |
348 | Changes between versions 0.4b6 and 0.4b7 (released October 8, 1999) |
349 | =================================================================== | |
350 | ||
351 | 1. Removed the 'k' flag from the restore 'about' text if kerberos | |
352 | was not compiled in. | |
353 | ||
354 | 2. Prototyped (f)setflags from e2fsprogs and corrected the calls | |
355 | to them (fsetflags takes a char*, setflags an open fd!). | |
356 | ||
357 | 3. (f)setflags is called only if the flags aren't empty. If the | |
358 | file is a special file, a warning is printed, because changing | |
359 | flags implies opening the device. Normally, a special file | |
360 | should not have any flag... (Debian bug #29775, patch provided | |
361 | by Abhijit Dasgupta <abhijit@ans.net>). | |
362 | ||
363 | 4. Made possible to dump a file system not mentioned in /etc/fstab. | |
364 | (Debian bug #11904, patch provided by Eirik Fuller <eirik@netcom.com>). | |
365 | ||
366 | 5. Changed the default behaviour to not create dumpdates | |
367 | unless 'u' option is specified. Removed the old "debian-patch" | |
368 | which provided the same thing. (Debian bug #38136, #33818). | |
369 | ||
370 | 6. Removed all those dump*announce, since they were getting old... | |
371 | ||
372 | 7. Added warning messages if dumpdates does not exist and | |
373 | when an inferior level dump does not exist (except for a level 0 | |
374 | dump). | |
375 | ||
376 | 8. Debugged the glob calls in interactive mode: restore used a | |
377 | dirent struct which was different from the /usr/include/dirent.h | |
378 | one (this used to work, is it a glibc2 change?), so none of the | |
379 | compat glob (which used /usr/include/dirent.h) or the system glob | |
380 | worked. Restore use now the system dirent (and the system | |
381 | DT_* constants), which are compatible with BSD ones. | |
382 | ||
383 | 9. Added a configure flag (--with-dumpdatespath) to specify | |
384 | the location of dumpdates file. By default, it is | |
385 | /etc/dumpdates. | |
386 | ||
387 | 10. Added the "AUTHOR" and "AVAILABILITY" sections and | |
388 | included the current date/version in man pages. | |
389 | ||
390 | 11. Corrected the estimation of remaining time when | |
391 | the operator doesn't change the tapes quickly enough. This | |
392 | was an old bug, I thought I corrected it, and discovered | |
393 | that in fact it was corrected in two different places, so | |
394 | the results canceled each other... | |

396 | Changes between versions 0.4b5 and 0.4b6 (released October 1, 1999) | |
397 | =================================================================== | |
ddd2ef55 SP |
398 | |
399 | 1. Integrated multiple patches from RedHat, Debian and SuSE: | |
400 | ||
401 | - tweak dump/itime.c to not try to read dumpdates if the 'u' option | |
402 | isn't specified. | |
403 | - several fixes in the man pages. | |
404 | - update the default tape device to /dev/st0. | |
405 | - many updates for Linux Alpha (byte ordering, size_t etc). | |
406 | - buffer overruns. | |
407 | - use environment variable for TMPDIR (instead of /tmp). | |
408 | - use sigjmp_buf instead of jmp_buf (RedHat bug #3260). | |
409 | - workaround egcs bug (RedHat bugs #4281 and #2989). | |
410 | - wire $(OPT) throughout Makefile's. | |
411 | ||
8d4197bb SP |
412 | 2. Upgrade the dump revision to 1, making possible to dump filesystems |
413 | made with e2fsprogs-1.15 or newer. Nothing seems to break... | |
ddd2ef55 | 414 | |
8d4197bb SP |
415 | 3. Fix some compile warnings, prototype all functions. |
416 | ||
417 | 4. Use glibc err/glob instead of internal compatibility | |
ddd2ef55 SP |
418 | routines (only if available). |
419 | ||
8d4197bb SP |
420 | 5. Fix a compile error on Linux 2.2.7 / libc5 (5.4.44) (patch provided |
421 | by Bernhard Sadlowski <sadlowsk@mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de>). | |
422 | ||
423 | Changes between versions 0.4b4 and 0.4b5 (released September 22, 1999) | |
424 | ====================================================================== | |
b45f51d6 SP |
425 | |
426 | 1. Integrated the changes from FreeBSD-3.1-RELEASE | |
427 | (mostly bug fixes, buffer overruns, dump has now an "automatic | |
428 | tape length calculation" flag, dump/restore can use kerberos now | |
429 | (this is NOT tested), use environment variables for TAPE and | |
430 | RMT etc.). | |
431 | ||
432 | 2. Integrated three RedHat patches ("glibc", "kernel" and "bread" patches) | |
433 | ||
434 | 3. Corrected a bug in restore when using 'C' option with multi-volumes | |
435 | tapes (files splited accros two tapes give "size changed" errors | |
436 | when comparing). | |
437 | ||
438 | 4. Corrected the long standing bug when dumping multiple tapes. | |
439 | This works for me, needs further testing. | |

8d4197bb SP |
441 | Changes between versions 0.4b3 and 0.4b4 (released January 17, 1997) |
442 | ==================================================================== | |
1227625a SP |
443 | |
444 | 1. Dump now runs correctly on kernels 2.1.x | |
445 | Fix made by Gerald Peters <gapeters@worldnet.att.net> | |
446 | ||
447 | Changes between versions 0.4b2 and 0.4b3 | |
448 | ======================================== | |
449 | ||
450 | 1. Use realpath() if available | |
451 | ||
452 | 2. Report statistics | |
453 | ||
454 | Changes between versions 0.4b1 and 0.4b2 | |
455 | ======================================== | |
456 | ||
457 | 1. Fixed the bug fix from Greg Lutz (I had made a mistake when integrating | |
458 | the patch) | |
459 | ||
460 | 2. Fixed restore to make it able to read FreeBSD 2.x dumps again | |
461 | ||
462 | 3. Fixed configure.in to correctly handle --enable-rmt | |
463 | ||
464 | Changes between versions 0.3 and 0.4b1 | |
465 | ====================================== | |
466 | ||
467 | 1. Integrated the changes from 4.4BSD-Lite2 | |
468 | ||
469 | 2. Integrated the patches from Debian and Red Hat | |
470 | ||
471 | 3. Portability changes: use the __u32, __u16, __s32, and __s16 types | |
472 | ||
473 | 4. Changed dump to use the Ext2fs library to get block addresses. This | |
474 | should solve the endianness problem on SparcLinux. | |
475 | ||
476 | 5. Created a configure.in file (shamelessly stolen from the e2fsprogs | |
477 | distribution's one) to use autoconf | |
478 | ||
479 | 6. Fixed a few minor bugs | |
480 | ||
481 | Changes between versions 0.2e and 0.2f | |
482 | ====================================== | |
483 | ||
484 | 1. Added the creation of named pipes (fifos) in restore. | |
485 | ||
486 | 2. Added the -N flag in the restore manual page. | |
487 | ||
488 | 3. Added the file kernel.patch which contains the llseek() optimization | |
489 | patch for 1.2.x kernels. | |
490 | ||
491 | 4. Fixed a bug in the restoration of symbolic links: owner and group were | |
492 | not restored. | |
493 | ||
494 | 5. Integrated some changes from FreeBSD 2.2. | |
495 | ||
496 | 6. Added a call to ftruncate() after restoring each file to restore | |
497 | correctly files ending by a hole. | |
498 | ||
499 | Changes between versions 0.2d and 0.2e | |
500 | ====================================== | |
501 | ||
502 | 1. Fixed a bug in the "set owner/mode" process. Every file was restored | |
503 | with owner = root (0) and group = root/wheel/whatever (0). | |
504 | ||
505 | Changes between versions 0.2c and 0.2d | |
506 | ====================================== | |
507 | ||
508 | 1. Dump is now able to backup 2GB+ filesystems. | |
509 | ||
510 | 2. Dump and restore can now be linked as static binaries. | |
511 | ||
512 | Changes between versions 0.2b and 0.2c | |
513 | ====================================== | |
514 | ||
515 | 1. Fixed a bug when dumping ``slow'' (i.e. normal) symbolic links. | |
516 | ||
517 | Changes between versions 0.2a and 0.2b | |
518 | ====================================== | |
519 | ||
520 | 1. Really fixed the bug that I should have corrected in 0.2a. | |
521 | ||
522 | 2. Enabled optimization again. | |
523 | ||
524 | Changes between versions 0.2 and 0.2a | |
525 | ===================================== | |
526 | ||
527 | 1. Disabled the optimization during compilation. | |
528 | ||
529 | Changes between versions 0.1 and 0.2 | |
530 | ==================================== | |
531 | ||
532 | 1. Fixed a bug in fstab.c which caused a null pointer to be stored in | |
533 | the fs_type field (actually, I modified the file fstab.c to make it | |
534 | use the mntent functions). | |
535 | ||
536 | 2. Dump and restore now use a 4.3 BSD compatible dump format. Backups | |
537 | made by dump should be readable by the BSD restore and backups made | |
538 | by the BSD dump should be readable by restore. Unfortunately, this | |
539 | means that the dump format has changed between version 0.1 and version | |
540 | 0.2 :-( | |
541 | ||
542 | 3. Dump is now able to backup a subtree, it is no longer limited to whole | |
543 | filesystems like the BSD version. | |
544 | ||
545 | 4. Dump now uses ext2_llseek() so it is able to backup filesystems bigger | |
546 | than 2 GB. | |
547 | ||
548 | Changes between versions 0.0 and 0.1 | |
549 | ==================================== | |
550 | ||
551 | 1. Now create links rdump and rrestore during the `make install' step. | |
552 | ||
553 | 2. Linux port specific bugs added to the manual pages | |
554 | ||
555 | 3. Incorrect estimation of the number of tapes blocks fixed when doing | |
556 | incremental backups. | |
557 | ||
558 | 4. Better ls-like format in restore in interactive mode. |
