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 | ||
8cca05cc SP |
22 | Changes between versions 0.4b17 and 0.4b18 (released June 30, 2000) |
23 | =================================================================== | |
ddf0df5b SP |
24 | |
25 | 1. Fixed a potential buffer overflow in restore. Thanks | |
26 | to Stan Bubrouski <satan@fastdial.net> for reporting | |
27 | the bug. | |
30a43325 | 28 | |
64bb207a SP |
29 | 2. Fixed a readline-related bug which prevented |
30 | 'cat DUMPFILE | restore -i -f -' from working. Thanks | |
31 | to Charles Karney <karney@users.sourceforge.net> | |
32 | for the bug report. | |
33 | ||
d572dbfd SP |
34 | 3. Changed a few "panic" into "exit", causing restore to |
35 | be more stable against some attacks (like the last one | |
36 | reported on Bugtraq, although the last version of restore | |
37 | was not vulnerable - just dumped core). Thanks to | |
38 | Andreas Hasenack <andreas@conectiva.com.br> for reporting | |
39 | the bugs to me. | |
40 | ||
882090d1 SP |
41 | 4. Removed the suid-root bit on dump and restore in the |
42 | default build (and generated RPMs). It should be safer | |
43 | now. Users who need the suid-root capabilities in order | |
44 | to make network backups should read first the man page | |
45 | of dump and enable the suid bit manually. | |
46 | ||
5e04cc92 SP |
47 | 5. Added -ltermcap to the compile parameters for restore |
48 | when using readline support, in order to make the compile | |
49 | process work on some systems (SuSE ?). Thanks to | |
50 | Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for reporting the bug. | |
51 | ||
ac443b63 | 52 | Changes between versions 0.4b16 and 0.4b17 (released June 1st, 2000) |
30a43325 SP |
53 | ==================================================================== |
54 | ||
55 | 1. The -F script is called now *only* at the end of a tape, | |
49023a9d | 56 | not at the end of the dump. Thanks to Christian Haul |
30a43325 SP |
57 | <haul@informatik.tu-darmstadt.de> for the bug report. |
58 | ||
d8574d45 SP |
59 | Normally, the device name and the current volume number |
60 | are passed on the command line of the script. However, | |
61 | if you want the old style script (with no arguments | |
62 | passed on the command line), you can enable it in | |
63 | configure with the --enable-oldstylefscript. | |
64 | ||
30a43325 SP |
65 | 2. Use posix signal handling to preserve dump functionality |
66 | with libc5. Thanks to Jeff Johnson <jbj@redhat.com> for | |
67 | the patch. | |
d65ed175 | 68 | |
3d78f5f2 SP |
69 | 3. Made the exit code of restore in case of a 'C'ompare |
70 | command reflect the result of the compare. An exit status | |
71 | of 0 means the dump archive is correct, 1 means tape errors, | |
d8574d45 SP |
72 | 2 means that some files were modified. Thanks to Kenneth Porter |
73 | <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion. | |
3d78f5f2 | 74 | |
d8574d45 | 75 | 4. Made (finally) quotes work in interactive restore. |
386d48c0 | 76 | |
a110deb5 | 77 | 5. Small fixes in order to allow dump to compile with a |
d8574d45 SP |
78 | really old e2fsprogs version. Thanks to Ian Zimmerman |
79 | <itz@speakeasy.org> for the bug report. | |
a110deb5 | 80 | |
c38e5b6a SP |
81 | 6. Add GNU readline capabilities to interactive restore. |
82 | Use configure's --enable-readline flag to enable this feature. | |
d8574d45 SP |
83 | Thanks to Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for the |
84 | suggestion. | |
85 | ||
86 | 7. Do the compare on the fly in restore 'C' mode (this will | |
87 | allow not to exhaust the available /tmp space when | |
88 | ccmparing large files). Thanks to Kenneth Porter | |
89 | <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion. | |
c38e5b6a | 90 | |
107a347c SP |
91 | Changes between versions 0.4b15 and 0.4b16 (released March 11, 2000) |
92 | ==================================================================== | |
d65ed175 SP |
93 | |
94 | 1. Fixed some several duplicate 'DUMP: DUMP:' in the | |
95 | output of dump. | |
d3393043 | 96 | |
cbc94239 SP |
97 | 2. Corrected the estimation of blocks to dump. Note that |
98 | this is still wrong for large directory inodes, due | |
99 | to the size of a BSD directory entry on the tape | |
100 | (estimation is based on the size of the ext2 directory, | |
101 | which is smaller because it doesn't contain the null | |
102 | character at the end). | |
103 | ||
104 | 3. Made dump report the total number of MB written to | |
105 | tape at the end of run. Thanks to W. Reilly Cooley | |
106 | <wcooley@nakedape.cc> for the patch. | |
107 | ||
08db2b86 SP |
108 | 4. Added the -X option to restore giving the possibility |
109 | to read the names of the files to be extracted/listed | |
1a05d45d SP |
110 | from a text file (in addition of the command line). |
111 | Thanks to Dejan Muhamedagic <dejan@quant-x.com> for the | |
112 | patch. | |
08db2b86 | 113 | |
365a7c7c SP |
114 | 5. Added the device name and the current volume number |
115 | as arguments to the end of tape script (dump -F option). | |
116 | ||
24ea1fb9 SP |
117 | 6. Made the multi-volume dump work again (after having |
118 | broken it in 0.4b15). | |
119 | ||
2f7e72ce SP |
120 | Changes between versions 0.4b14 and 0.4b15 (released March 2, 2000) |
121 | =================================================================== | |
d3393043 SP |
122 | |
123 | 1. Added a prompt command in interactive restore mode. Thanks | |
124 | to Andreas Dilger <adilger@home.com> for the patch. | |
d6f78b13 | 125 | |
92a9bf12 SP |
126 | 2. Fixed a buffer overflow problem in dump (caused by |
127 | not checking the size of the filesystem parameter). | |
128 | Thanks to Kim Yong-jun <loveyou@hackerslab.org> for | |
129 | reporting this on Bugtraq (and to several dump users | |
130 | who forwarded me his mail). | |
131 | ||
0d7af9c5 SP |
132 | 3. Added the '-F script' option to dump in order to |
133 | launch a script at the end of each tape (to be used | |
134 | with a tape changer, or to notify the sysadmin by | |
135 | pager etc.). | |
136 | ||
137 | 4. Fixed a bug in restore compare code caused by the changes | |
138 | I made in 0.4b14. | |
139 | ||
140 | 5. Fixed the treatment of options using the old BSD syntax | |
141 | in both dump and restore. | |
142 | ||
688653ea SP |
143 | Changes between versions 0.4b13 and 0.4b14 (released February 10, 2000) |
144 | ======================================================================= | |
d6f78b13 SP |
145 | |
146 | 1. Fixed a bug in dump which may have caused invalid deleted | |
147 | directories to be dumped out if they were deleted after the | |
148 | mapping pass. This could occure on active filesystem and lead | |
149 | to heap corruption (causing dump malfunction in many possible ways). | |
150 | Thanks to Jan Sanislo <oystr@cs.washington.edu> for finding this | |
151 | bug and submitting the patch. | |
ae58c8da | 152 | |
a2c9bd28 SP |
153 | 2. Fixed the handling of the filesystem parameter in dump. A |
154 | '/mnt/disk' parameter caused the disk contents to be dumped, | |
155 | but a '/mnt/disk/' parameter caused the mountpoint directory | |
156 | to be dumped (generally an empty directory). | |
157 | ||
158 | 3. Improved the output of dump in order to tell which directory | |
159 | it is currently dumping (when dumping a subtree). | |
160 | ||
20c345aa SP |
161 | 4. Added the '-e' exclude inode option to dump. Thanks to |
162 | Isaac Chuang <ike@isl.stanford.edu> for contributing with the patch. | |
163 | ||
d8476fa5 SP |
164 | 5. Added a REPORTING-BUGS file in order to provide a guide |
165 | on how to correctly report a bug in dump/restore. | |
166 | ||
c60338a5 SP |
167 | 6. Fixed a restore problem when restoring a hard link to an inode |
168 | having the immutable or append-only attribute set. Thanks to | |
169 | Ambrose Li <acli@mingpaoxpress.com> for submitting the patch. | |
170 | ||
8eb05297 SP |
171 | 7. Fixed a compatibility problem between dumps made on little |
172 | endian machines (the format was correct) and big endian | |
173 | machines (the format was incorrect). This fix break the | |
174 | compatibility with the older dumps made on big endian | |
175 | machines (sparc, m86k, ppc etc). For the first time in | |
176 | linux dump's history (I believe), the dumps made by *BSD, | |
177 | Linux/alpha, Linux/sparc and Linux/x86 are compatible, | |
178 | so interchangeable. Thanks to Rob Cermak | |
179 | <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu> for submitting the bug and | |
180 | helping me test the fix. | |
181 | ||
182 | 8. Fixed the way dump reports the remaining percent/time, if | |
183 | the number of blocks actually dumped exceeds the estimated | |
184 | number of blocks. Thanks to Jean-Paul van der Jagt | |
185 | <jeanpaul@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl> for reporting the bug. | |
186 | ||
d4b74b5c SP |
187 | Changes between versions 0.4b12 and 0.4b13 (released January 21, 2000) |
188 | ====================================================================== | |
2f9a0c5c SP |
189 | |
190 | 1. Small Y2K fix in the man pages :). Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski | |
191 | <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug. | |
192 | ||
6dda05e4 SP |
193 | 2. Removed the requirement to build the RPM as root from the |
194 | spec file. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber | |
195 | <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for submitting this. | |
196 | ||
8d957ae7 | 197 | 3. Fixed a bug in dump related to the 'filetype' feature of ext2fs, |
f346e363 SP |
198 | causing dump to block when dumping really huge filesystems. |
199 | Many thanks to Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for | |
200 | helping me find this bug. | |
201 | ||
8d957ae7 | 202 | 4. Fixed the treatment for an interrupt signal when dump access |
b80c25f8 SP |
203 | the remote tape through RSH. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber |
204 | <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for providing the patch. | |
205 | ||
8d957ae7 SP |
206 | 5. Fixed a bug which was causing dump/restore to display |
207 | garbage characters instead of the remote host name. | |
208 | ||
2f9a0c5c | 209 | Changes between versions 0.4b11 and 0.4b12 (released January 8, 2000) |
df172bbb | 210 | ===================================================================== |
ae58c8da SP |
211 | |
212 | 1. Small fix in the dump man page. Thanks to Thorsten Kukuk | |
213 | <kukuk@suse.de> for submitting the patch. | |
2ed89fda | 214 | |
a29c23cc SP |
215 | 2. Fix for the exit code when using the size estimate option of |
216 | dump. Thanks to Matti Taskinen <mkt@rni.helsinki.fi> for | |
217 | submitting the patch. | |
218 | ||
2e682895 SP |
219 | 3. Handle EINTR in atomical reads/writes in dump, which was causing |
220 | dump to fail on some systems. Thanks to Eric Jergensen | |
221 | <eric@dvns.com> for reporting the bug and submitting the patch. | |
222 | ||
223 | 4. Handle more than 16 characters for the device names in dumpdates. | |
224 | (up to 255 now). Thanks to Rainer Clasen <bj@ncc.cicely.de> for | |
225 | tracking down the problem and proposing the solution. | |
226 | ||
227 | 5. Fixed a bug in dump which prevented the creation of the | |
228 | dumpdates file when doing a 0-level dump without already | |
229 | having a dumpdates file. Thanks to Patrik Schindler | |
230 | <poc@pocnet.net> for reporting the bug. | |
231 | ||
232 | 6. Changed the way dump 'S' flag reports the size estimate | |
233 | from number of blocks into bytes (making it compatible | |
234 | with the Solaris version, and simplifying things for | |
235 | amanda users). Thanks to Jason L Tibbitts III | |
236 | <tibbs@math.uh.edu> for reporting the bug. | |
237 | ||
0d0bc326 SP |
238 | 7. Fixed a compatibility problem in linux/alpha dump tape format. |
239 | Now the linux/alpha dump are (again) compatible with the | |
240 | other dump formats. But this breaks compatibility with | |
241 | older dumps made on alpha. Thanks to Mike Tibor | |
242 | <tibor@lib.uaa.alaska.edu> for helping me in finding this bug. | |
243 | ||
cf9aab8e | 244 | Changes between versions 0.4b10 and 0.4b11 (released December 5, 1999) |
2ed89fda SP |
245 | ====================================================================== |
246 | ||
247 | 1. Added a '--enable-kerberos' to configure. | |
5c1faba5 | 248 | |
144a6db1 | 249 | 2. Added a 'S' option to dump which determines the amount of space |
5c729713 | 250 | that is needed to perform the dump without actually doing it, similar |
144a6db1 SP |
251 | to the Sun's ufsdump 'S' option. Patch contributed by Rob Cermak |
252 | <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu>. | |
253 | ||
677ee424 SP |
254 | 3. Added a 'M' multi-volume option to dump and restore which enables |
255 | dumping to multiple files (useful when dumping to an ext2 | |
256 | partition to make several dump files in order to bypass the 2GB | |
257 | file size limitation). The 'f' argument is treated as a prefix and | |
258 | the output files will be named <prefix>001, <prefix>002 etc. With | |
259 | the 'M' flag, restore automatically selects the right file without | |
260 | asking to enter a new tape each time. | |
261 | ||
7fbb9b02 | 262 | 4. Fixed a memory leak which was causing dump to grow very big |
a29c23cc SP |
263 | (270MB when dumping a 10GB filesystem...). Thanks to Jason |
264 | Fearon <jasonf@netrider.org.au> for reporting the bug. | |
7fbb9b02 | 265 | |
27026010 SP |
266 | Changes between versions 0.4b9 and 0.4b10 (released November 21, 1999) |
267 | ====================================================================== | |
5c1faba5 SP |
268 | |
269 | 1. Make configure test if the system glob routines support | |
270 | extended syntax (ALTDIRFUNC). If not, use the internal glob | |
a95c4c36 SP |
271 | routines instead of system ones. Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski |
272 | <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug | |
273 | and helping me resolve this and other minor libc5 compiling | |
274 | glitches. | |
08ebf8d7 | 275 | |
c5886bd7 SP |
276 | 2. Fix a problem when dumping a ext2fs with the 'filetype' |
277 | feature enabled. Thanks to Patrick J. LoPresti | |
278 | <patl@cag.lcs.mit.edu> for reporting the bug and to | |
279 | Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> for providing the patch. | |
280 | ||
4267a8ad SP |
281 | 3. Made the nodump flag work on directories. A directory which |
282 | has the nodump flag gets never dumped, regardless of its | |
283 | contents. | |
284 | ||
c930abff SP |
285 | 4. Integrate a patch from Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> |
286 | which allows dump on an active ext3 filesystem. However, this | |
287 | is a "quick and dirty" patch which enables backup of an ext3 | |
288 | filesystem through the ext2 compatibility (by ignoring the | |
289 | NEEDS_RECOVERY bit). The journal file is not recognized and | |
290 | it is dumped (it should not). | |
291 | ||
292 | 5. Test the superblock compatibility flags when dumping, in order | |
293 | to be sure that we know how to deal with specific features. | |
294 | ||
08ebf8d7 SP |
295 | Changes between versions 0.4b8 and 0.4b9 (released November 5, 1999) |
296 | ==================================================================== | |
297 | ||
298 | 1. Use lchown instead of chown, fixing a possible security problem | |
299 | when restoring symlinks (a malicious user could use this | |
300 | to deliberately corrupt the ownership of important system files). | |
301 | Thanks to Chris Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for detecting | |
302 | this and providing the patch. | |
ec387a12 | 303 | |
c154548c SP |
304 | Changes between versions 0.4b7 and 0.4b8 (released November 3, 1999) |
305 | ==================================================================== | |
ec387a12 | 306 | |
df9ae507 SP |
307 | 1. Put dump sources under CVS, added Id tags in all files so |
308 | one can use 'ident' on binary files. | |
309 | ||
310 | 2. Added the dump/restore version in the usage text so one can | |
311 | easily verify the version he is using. | |
ec387a12 | 312 | |
3072400e SP |
313 | 3. Small patch from Nuno Oliveira <nuno@eq.uc.pt> which fixes |
314 | a va_start/va_end problem on linux-ppc (always call va_start | |
315 | va_end in pairs each time we use a vararg function). | |
316 | ||
fa58b58d SP |
317 | 4. Added again the DT_* constants because old libc does not |
318 | contain them :(. Thanks to Eric Maisonobe <virnet@nat.fr> | |
319 | for submitting the bug report. | |
320 | ||
f34aca37 SP |
321 | 5. Use ext2fs_llseek instead of llseek. With recent e2fsprogs |
322 | this should enable dumping big (huge) filesystems. | |
323 | ||
324 | 6. Added the RSH environment variable in order to be able to | |
0c62667d SP |
325 | use a rsh replacement like ssh when doing remote backups (and |
326 | bypass the security limitations of rcmd). Now you can do remote | |
327 | backups without being root (or making dump setuid root). | |
328 | ||
f34aca37 | 329 | 7. Modified again the way dumpdates works. For incremental dumps, |
60f5ede9 SP |
330 | we need to read dumpdates even if we are not using 'u' option. |
331 | Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for his ideas on how | |
332 | this should work. | |
333 | ||
8d4197bb SP |
334 | Changes between versions 0.4b6 and 0.4b7 (released October 8, 1999) |
335 | =================================================================== | |
336 | ||
337 | 1. Removed the 'k' flag from the restore 'about' text if kerberos | |
338 | was not compiled in. | |
339 | ||
340 | 2. Prototyped (f)setflags from e2fsprogs and corrected the calls | |
341 | to them (fsetflags takes a char*, setflags an open fd!). | |
342 | ||
343 | 3. (f)setflags is called only if the flags aren't empty. If the | |
344 | file is a special file, a warning is printed, because changing | |
345 | flags implies opening the device. Normally, a special file | |
346 | should not have any flag... (Debian bug #29775, patch provided | |
347 | by Abhijit Dasgupta <abhijit@ans.net>). | |
348 | ||
349 | 4. Made possible to dump a file system not mentioned in /etc/fstab. | |
350 | (Debian bug #11904, patch provided by Eirik Fuller <eirik@netcom.com>). | |
351 | ||
352 | 5. Changed the default behaviour to not create dumpdates | |
353 | unless 'u' option is specified. Removed the old "debian-patch" | |
354 | which provided the same thing. (Debian bug #38136, #33818). | |
355 | ||
356 | 6. Removed all those dump*announce, since they were getting old... | |
357 | ||
358 | 7. Added warning messages if dumpdates does not exist and | |
359 | when an inferior level dump does not exist (except for a level 0 | |
360 | dump). | |
361 | ||
362 | 8. Debugged the glob calls in interactive mode: restore used a | |
363 | dirent struct which was different from the /usr/include/dirent.h | |
364 | one (this used to work, is it a glibc2 change?), so none of the | |
365 | compat glob (which used /usr/include/dirent.h) or the system glob | |
366 | worked. Restore use now the system dirent (and the system | |
367 | DT_* constants), which are compatible with BSD ones. | |
368 | ||
369 | 9. Added a configure flag (--with-dumpdatespath) to specify | |
370 | the location of dumpdates file. By default, it is | |
371 | /etc/dumpdates. | |
372 | ||
373 | 10. Added the "AUTHOR" and "AVAILABILITY" sections and | |
374 | included the current date/version in man pages. | |
375 | ||
376 | 11. Corrected the estimation of remaining time when | |
377 | the operator doesn't change the tapes quickly enough. This | |
378 | was an old bug, I thought I corrected it, and discovered | |
379 | that in fact it was corrected in two different places, so | |
380 | the results canceled each other... | |
381 | ||
382 | Changes between versions 0.4b5 and 0.4b6 (released October 1, 1999) | |
383 | =================================================================== | |

384 | |
385 | 1. Integrated multiple patches from RedHat, Debian and SuSE: | |
386 | ||
387 | - tweak dump/itime.c to not try to read dumpdates if the 'u' option | |
388 | isn't specified. | |
389 | - several fixes in the man pages. | |
390 | - update the default tape device to /dev/st0. | |
391 | - many updates for Linux Alpha (byte ordering, size_t etc). | |
392 | - buffer overruns. | |
393 | - use environment variable for TMPDIR (instead of /tmp). | |
394 | - use sigjmp_buf instead of jmp_buf (RedHat bug #3260). | |
395 | - workaround egcs bug (RedHat bugs #4281 and #2989). | |
396 | - wire $(OPT) throughout Makefile's. | |

398 | 2. Upgrade the dump revision to 1, making possible to dump filesystems |
399 | made with e2fsprogs-1.15 or newer. Nothing seems to break... | |
ddd2ef55 | 400 | |
8d4197bb SP |
401 | 3. Fix some compile warnings, prototype all functions. |
402 | ||
403 | 4. Use glibc err/glob instead of internal compatibility | |
ddd2ef55 SP |
404 | routines (only if available). |
405 | ||
8d4197bb SP |
406 | 5. Fix a compile error on Linux 2.2.7 / libc5 (5.4.44) (patch provided |
407 | by Bernhard Sadlowski <sadlowsk@mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de>). | |
408 | ||
409 | Changes between versions 0.4b4 and 0.4b5 (released September 22, 1999) | |
410 | ====================================================================== | |
b45f51d6 SP |
411 | |
412 | 1. Integrated the changes from FreeBSD-3.1-RELEASE | |
413 | (mostly bug fixes, buffer overruns, dump has now an "automatic | |
414 | tape length calculation" flag, dump/restore can use kerberos now | |
415 | (this is NOT tested), use environment variables for TAPE and | |
416 | RMT etc.). | |
417 | ||
418 | 2. Integrated three RedHat patches ("glibc", "kernel" and "bread" patches) | |
419 | ||
420 | 3. Corrected a bug in restore when using 'C' option with multi-volumes | |
421 | tapes (files splited accros two tapes give "size changed" errors | |
422 | when comparing). | |
423 | ||
424 | 4. Corrected the long standing bug when dumping multiple tapes. | |
425 | This works for me, needs further testing. | |

8d4197bb SP |
427 | Changes between versions 0.4b3 and 0.4b4 (released January 17, 1997) |
428 | ==================================================================== | |
1227625a SP |
429 | |
430 | 1. Dump now runs correctly on kernels 2.1.x | |
431 | Fix made by Gerald Peters <gapeters@worldnet.att.net> | |
432 | ||
433 | Changes between versions 0.4b2 and 0.4b3 | |
434 | ======================================== | |
435 | ||
436 | 1. Use realpath() if available | |
437 | ||
438 | 2. Report statistics | |
439 | ||
440 | Changes between versions 0.4b1 and 0.4b2 | |
441 | ======================================== | |
442 | ||
443 | 1. Fixed the bug fix from Greg Lutz (I had made a mistake when integrating | |
444 | the patch) | |
445 | ||
446 | 2. Fixed restore to make it able to read FreeBSD 2.x dumps again | |
447 | ||
448 | 3. Fixed configure.in to correctly handle --enable-rmt | |
449 | ||
450 | Changes between versions 0.3 and 0.4b1 | |
451 | ====================================== | |
452 | ||
453 | 1. Integrated the changes from 4.4BSD-Lite2 | |
454 | ||
455 | 2. Integrated the patches from Debian and Red Hat | |
456 | ||
457 | 3. Portability changes: use the __u32, __u16, __s32, and __s16 types | |
458 | ||
459 | 4. Changed dump to use the Ext2fs library to get block addresses. This | |
460 | should solve the endianness problem on SparcLinux. | |
461 | ||
462 | 5. Created a configure.in file (shamelessly stolen from the e2fsprogs | |
463 | distribution's one) to use autoconf | |
464 | ||
465 | 6. Fixed a few minor bugs | |
466 | ||
467 | Changes between versions 0.2e and 0.2f | |
468 | ====================================== | |
469 | ||
470 | 1. Added the creation of named pipes (fifos) in restore. | |
471 | ||
472 | 2. Added the -N flag in the restore manual page. | |
473 | ||
474 | 3. Added the file kernel.patch which contains the llseek() optimization | |
475 | patch for 1.2.x kernels. | |
476 | ||
477 | 4. Fixed a bug in the restoration of symbolic links: owner and group were | |
478 | not restored. | |
479 | ||
480 | 5. Integrated some changes from FreeBSD 2.2. | |
481 | ||
482 | 6. Added a call to ftruncate() after restoring each file to restore | |
483 | correctly files ending by a hole. | |
484 | ||
485 | Changes between versions 0.2d and 0.2e | |
486 | ====================================== | |
487 | ||
488 | 1. Fixed a bug in the "set owner/mode" process. Every file was restored | |
489 | with owner = root (0) and group = root/wheel/whatever (0). | |
490 | ||
491 | Changes between versions 0.2c and 0.2d | |
492 | ====================================== | |
493 | ||
494 | 1. Dump is now able to backup 2GB+ filesystems. | |
495 | ||
496 | 2. Dump and restore can now be linked as static binaries. | |
497 | ||
498 | Changes between versions 0.2b and 0.2c | |
499 | ====================================== | |
500 | ||
501 | 1. Fixed a bug when dumping ``slow'' (i.e. normal) symbolic links. | |
502 | ||
503 | Changes between versions 0.2a and 0.2b | |
504 | ====================================== | |
505 | ||
506 | 1. Really fixed the bug that I should have corrected in 0.2a. | |
507 | ||
508 | 2. Enabled optimization again. | |
509 | ||
510 | Changes between versions 0.2 and 0.2a | |
511 | ===================================== | |
512 | ||
513 | 1. Disabled the optimization during compilation. | |
514 | ||
515 | Changes between versions 0.1 and 0.2 | |
516 | ==================================== | |
517 | ||
518 | 1. Fixed a bug in fstab.c which caused a null pointer to be stored in | |
519 | the fs_type field (actually, I modified the file fstab.c to make it | |
520 | use the mntent functions). | |
521 | ||
522 | 2. Dump and restore now use a 4.3 BSD compatible dump format. Backups | |
523 | made by dump should be readable by the BSD restore and backups made | |
524 | by the BSD dump should be readable by restore. Unfortunately, this | |
525 | means that the dump format has changed between version 0.1 and version | |
526 | 0.2 :-( | |
527 | ||
528 | 3. Dump is now able to backup a subtree, it is no longer limited to whole | |
529 | filesystems like the BSD version. | |
530 | ||
531 | 4. Dump now uses ext2_llseek() so it is able to backup filesystems bigger | |
532 | than 2 GB. | |
533 | ||
534 | Changes between versions 0.0 and 0.1 | |
535 | ==================================== | |
536 | ||
537 | 1. Now create links rdump and rrestore during the `make install' step. | |
538 | ||
539 | 2. Linux port specific bugs added to the manual pages | |
540 | ||
541 | 3. Incorrect estimation of the number of tapes blocks fixed when doing | |
542 | incremental backups. | |
543 | ||
544 | 4. Better ls-like format in restore in interactive mode. |
