4======================================================================
5
61. Let dump report the number of blocks dumped per volume.
7 Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.

10======================================================================
58d85348
SP
11
121. Fixed some bugs in the dump -w|-W logic introduced by
13 the previous version. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
14 <adilger@turbolinux.com> for his help on this one.

SP
162. Fixed again a compilation problem when using old e2fs
17 headers (filesystem label related). Thanks to many users
18 who reported this stupid error.
19
a1158276 203. Fixed a build problem on old lib5 based systems dealing with
f1266a2f
SP
21 _PATH_MNTTAB being undefined. Thanks to John Adams
22 <johna@onevista.com> for reporting the bug.

244. Improved the error detection in restore when creating
25 the temporary files in TMPDIR. Now restore will corectly
26 report a 'no space left on device' error instead of
27 strange errors which could imply an archive corruption.
28 Thanks to Gabriel Somlo <somlo@cs.colostate.edu> and
29 bgjenero <bgjenero@sympatico.ca> for reporting the bug.
30
88f15c1b
SP
315. Added the throughput information in dump's progression
32 messages. Thanks to Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
33 for the patch.
34
0bd5aa90
SP
356. Use libext2fs's inode scanning routines, which are particularly
36 robust when dealing with errors (especially when having some
37 bad blocks on the filesystem). Many thanks to Colin
38 <colin@horizon.com> for reporting the bug, investigating
39 the issues, finding a workaround, writing the patch and
40 fully testing it... (of course, if this patch will break
41 anything, he is to blame for :-)).
42
7ae7e2fd 437. Made dump and restore LFS aware. Dump can dump a filesystem
d6967896
SP
44 containing large files, generate a large file on output and
45 restore can restore them. This feature is not enabled by
46 default, use --enable-largefile option of configure to enable
47 it (you need to have a LFS aware glibc though). Thanks to
48 Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@suse.de> for submitting the patch,
49 and to Theodore T'so <tytso@valinux.com> for his always
50 useful thoughts.
51
7ae7e2fd
SP
528. Made dump ask upon a tape write error if it should rewrite
53 the current volume (assume this is a bad tape) or if it should
54 assume an end-of-tape condition (useful for tape drives which
55 behaves badly at the end of the tape). Thanks to Andreas
56 Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the suggestion.

58Changes between versions 0.4b19 and 0.4b20 (released November 10, 2000)
59=======================================================================
1099d48c 60
bd731171
SP
611. Fixed a small compilation problem due to a change
62 in the definintion of the struct sigaction in
63 glibc 2.0 / libc5. Thanks to Gunther Schlegel
64 <schlegel@riege.de> for reporting the bug and to
65 Dave Platt <dplatt@snulbug.mtview.ca.us> for suggesting
66 a fix.
1099d48c
SP
67
682. Modified the label and uuid analysis in order to be
69 self-contained (independant of kernel/libc headers). This
70 should fix the compile with older kernel/libc headers and
71 will preserve the functionality. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann
72 <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de> for reporting the bug.
73
1cd75c4c
SP
743. The 'exclude inode' option, if applied to a directory
75 inode, excludes now correctly all the leaves of this
76 directory. Thanks to John R. Dennison
77 <gerdesas@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.
f1d86882 78
aec13b2a
SP
794. Fixed the '-e' option to disable the possibility
80 to exclude the root inode (which causes the dumps to
81 be unreadable by restore). Prevented array overflow
82 when multiple -e options are used.
83
8c363e9a
SP
845. Fixed dump to correctly interpret a filesystem argument
85 which is a mountpoint and it is not an absolute path
86 (as specified in the fstab). Thanks to Bernhard R. Erdmann
87 <be@berdmann.de> for reporting the bug.
88
abc63c56
SP
896. Made dump able to backup files larger than 2 GB. Note that
90 dump still doesn't cope with files larger than 4 GB.
91
2c168f5f
SP
927. Restore the real uid and gid before invoking an external
93 RSH program (big hole when dump or restore is suid root!).
94
6169d840
SP
958. Get the values for the default tape device and the location
96 of fstab file from the system headers. Thanks to
97 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
98
51b01afe
SP
999. Made dump -w|-W report all recognized filesystems
100 present in either /etc/fstab or /etc/dumpdates, and present
101 the list in the same order as in fstab file. Thanks
102 to Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
103
4f4eee3d
SP
10410. Made dump's -a (automatic end of tape detection) the
105 default. Specifying one of -B, -c, -d or -s options will
106 override the EOM detection. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
107 <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
108
95cd8801
SP
10911. Save the ext2 filesystem label into the dump volume label.
110 Specifying a volume label on the command line (-L option)
111 will override this feature. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
112 <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.

114Changes between versions 0.4b18 and 0.4b19 (released August 20, 2000)
115=====================================================================
f1d86882
SP
116
1171. Fixed the signal handling in dump (which I broke in 0.4b17)
118 which was causing several strange dump failures (dump
119 hanged or segmentation faults etc).
ddf0df5b 120
65bceb9b
SP
1212. Specified the default blocksize in the dump man page.
122
57b19d7f
SP
1233. Changed two info messages of restore to be written on stdout
124 instead of stderr in order to leave stderr only for errors
125 or warnings. Thanks to Stephen Atwell
126 <satwell@urbana.css.mot.com> for the suggestion.
127
4f94452b
SP
1284. Corrected an off by one calculation which prevented
129 dumping a directory having a 1 character name length.
130 Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de>
131 for reporting the bug.
132
79e31865
SP
1335. Reinforce dump in order to allow only level 0 and no
134 -u option when dumping a subdirectory, and document
135 this in the man page. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann
136 <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de> for reporting the bug.
137
9be511dc
SP
1386. Fixed a small harmless bug in restore which caused
139 in some conditions hard links to be restored several
140 times (therefore generation some warning messages).
141 Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com> for
142 reporting the bug.
143
3e815572 1447. Updated the RPM spec file to the latest RedHat version,
1d568d1b 145 providing FHS packaging and other cosmetic changes.
1099d48c 146 You will need RPM version >= 3.0.5 in order to build the RPM.
1d568d1b 147
3e815572
SP
1488. Updated the configure script to check for libtermcap
149 before checking for libreadline, because we need this
150 library in order to compile the readline support.
151
8954518f
SP
1529. Made dump understand the LABEL= and UUID= notation
153 both in /etc/fstab and on the command line. Note that
154 you will need the /proc filesystem in order to use
155 these notations. Thanks to Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com>
156 for providing the patch.
157
8cca05cc
SP
158Changes between versions 0.4b17 and 0.4b18 (released June 30, 2000)
159===================================================================
ddf0df5b
SP
160
1611. Fixed a potential buffer overflow in restore. Thanks
162 to Stan Bubrouski <satan@fastdial.net> for reporting
163 the bug.
30a43325 164
64bb207a
SP
1652. Fixed a readline-related bug which prevented
166 'cat DUMPFILE | restore -i -f -' from working. Thanks
167 to Charles Karney <karney@users.sourceforge.net>
168 for the bug report.
169
d572dbfd
SP
1703. Changed a few "panic" into "exit", causing restore to
171 be more stable against some attacks (like the last one
172 reported on Bugtraq, although the last version of restore
173 was not vulnerable - just dumped core). Thanks to
174 Andreas Hasenack <andreas@conectiva.com.br> for reporting
175 the bugs to me.
176
882090d1
SP
1774. Removed the suid-root bit on dump and restore in the
178 default build (and generated RPMs). It should be safer
179 now. Users who need the suid-root capabilities in order
180 to make network backups should read first the man page
181 of dump and enable the suid bit manually.
182
5e04cc92
SP
1835. Added -ltermcap to the compile parameters for restore
184 when using readline support, in order to make the compile
185 process work on some systems (SuSE ?). Thanks to
186 Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for reporting the bug.
187
ac443b63 188Changes between versions 0.4b16 and 0.4b17 (released June 1st, 2000)
30a43325
SP
189====================================================================
190
1911. The -F script is called now *only* at the end of a tape,
49023a9d 192 not at the end of the dump. Thanks to Christian Haul
30a43325
SP
193 <haul@informatik.tu-darmstadt.de> for the bug report.
194
d8574d45
SP
195 Normally, the device name and the current volume number
196 are passed on the command line of the script. However,
197 if you want the old style script (with no arguments
198 passed on the command line), you can enable it in
199 configure with the --enable-oldstylefscript.
200
30a43325
SP
2012. Use posix signal handling to preserve dump functionality
202 with libc5. Thanks to Jeff Johnson <jbj@redhat.com> for
203 the patch.
d65ed175 204
3d78f5f2
SP
2053. Made the exit code of restore in case of a 'C'ompare
206 command reflect the result of the compare. An exit status
207 of 0 means the dump archive is correct, 1 means tape errors,
d8574d45
SP
208 2 means that some files were modified. Thanks to Kenneth Porter
209 <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
3d78f5f2 210
d8574d45 2114. Made (finally) quotes work in interactive restore.
386d48c0 212
a110deb5 2135. Small fixes in order to allow dump to compile with a
d8574d45
SP
214 really old e2fsprogs version. Thanks to Ian Zimmerman
215 <itz@speakeasy.org> for the bug report.
a110deb5 216
c38e5b6a
SP
2176. Add GNU readline capabilities to interactive restore.
218 Use configure's --enable-readline flag to enable this feature.
d8574d45
SP
219 Thanks to Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for the
220 suggestion.
221
2227. Do the compare on the fly in restore 'C' mode (this will
223 allow not to exhaust the available /tmp space when
224 ccmparing large files). Thanks to Kenneth Porter
225 <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
c38e5b6a 226
107a347c
SP
227Changes between versions 0.4b15 and 0.4b16 (released March 11, 2000)
228====================================================================
d65ed175
SP
229
2301. Fixed some several duplicate 'DUMP: DUMP:' in the
231 output of dump.
d3393043 232
cbc94239
SP
2332. Corrected the estimation of blocks to dump. Note that
234 this is still wrong for large directory inodes, due
235 to the size of a BSD directory entry on the tape
236 (estimation is based on the size of the ext2 directory,
237 which is smaller because it doesn't contain the null
238 character at the end).
239
2403. Made dump report the total number of MB written to
241 tape at the end of run. Thanks to W. Reilly Cooley
242 <wcooley@nakedape.cc> for the patch.
243
08db2b86
SP
2444. Added the -X option to restore giving the possibility
245 to read the names of the files to be extracted/listed
1a05d45d
SP
246 from a text file (in addition of the command line).
247 Thanks to Dejan Muhamedagic <dejan@quant-x.com> for the
248 patch.
08db2b86 249
365a7c7c
SP
2505. Added the device name and the current volume number
251 as arguments to the end of tape script (dump -F option).
252
24ea1fb9
SP
2536. Made the multi-volume dump work again (after having
254 broken it in 0.4b15).
255
2f7e72ce
SP
256Changes between versions 0.4b14 and 0.4b15 (released March 2, 2000)
257===================================================================
d3393043
SP
258
2591. Added a prompt command in interactive restore mode. Thanks
260 to Andreas Dilger <adilger@home.com> for the patch.
d6f78b13 261
92a9bf12
SP
2622. Fixed a buffer overflow problem in dump (caused by
263 not checking the size of the filesystem parameter).
264 Thanks to Kim Yong-jun <loveyou@hackerslab.org> for
265 reporting this on Bugtraq (and to several dump users
266 who forwarded me his mail).
267
0d7af9c5
SP
2683. Added the '-F script' option to dump in order to
269 launch a script at the end of each tape (to be used
270 with a tape changer, or to notify the sysadmin by
271 pager etc.).
272
2734. Fixed a bug in restore compare code caused by the changes
274 I made in 0.4b14.
275
2765. Fixed the treatment of options using the old BSD syntax
277 in both dump and restore.
278
688653ea
SP
279Changes between versions 0.4b13 and 0.4b14 (released February 10, 2000)
280=======================================================================
d6f78b13
SP
281
2821. Fixed a bug in dump which may have caused invalid deleted
283 directories to be dumped out if they were deleted after the
284 mapping pass. This could occure on active filesystem and lead
285 to heap corruption (causing dump malfunction in many possible ways).
286 Thanks to Jan Sanislo <oystr@cs.washington.edu> for finding this
287 bug and submitting the patch.
ae58c8da 288
a2c9bd28
SP
2892. Fixed the handling of the filesystem parameter in dump. A
290 '/mnt/disk' parameter caused the disk contents to be dumped,
291 but a '/mnt/disk/' parameter caused the mountpoint directory
292 to be dumped (generally an empty directory).
293
2943. Improved the output of dump in order to tell which directory
295 it is currently dumping (when dumping a subtree).
296
20c345aa
SP
2974. Added the '-e' exclude inode option to dump. Thanks to
298 Isaac Chuang <ike@isl.stanford.edu> for contributing with the patch.
299
d8476fa5
SP
3005. Added a REPORTING-BUGS file in order to provide a guide
301 on how to correctly report a bug in dump/restore.
302
c60338a5
SP
3036. Fixed a restore problem when restoring a hard link to an inode
304 having the immutable or append-only attribute set. Thanks to
305 Ambrose Li <acli@mingpaoxpress.com> for submitting the patch.
306
8eb05297
SP
3077. Fixed a compatibility problem between dumps made on little
308 endian machines (the format was correct) and big endian
309 machines (the format was incorrect). This fix break the
310 compatibility with the older dumps made on big endian
311 machines (sparc, m86k, ppc etc). For the first time in
312 linux dump's history (I believe), the dumps made by *BSD,
313 Linux/alpha, Linux/sparc and Linux/x86 are compatible,
314 so interchangeable. Thanks to Rob Cermak
315 <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu> for submitting the bug and
316 helping me test the fix.
317
3188. Fixed the way dump reports the remaining percent/time, if
319 the number of blocks actually dumped exceeds the estimated
320 number of blocks. Thanks to Jean-Paul van der Jagt
321 <jeanpaul@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl> for reporting the bug.
322
d4b74b5c
SP
323Changes between versions 0.4b12 and 0.4b13 (released January 21, 2000)
324======================================================================
2f9a0c5c
SP
325
3261. Small Y2K fix in the man pages :). Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski
327 <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug.
328
6dda05e4
SP
3292. Removed the requirement to build the RPM as root from the
330 spec file. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber
331 <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for submitting this.
332
8d957ae7 3333. Fixed a bug in dump related to the 'filetype' feature of ext2fs,
f346e363
SP
334 causing dump to block when dumping really huge filesystems.
335 Many thanks to Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for
336 helping me find this bug.
337
8d957ae7 3384. Fixed the treatment for an interrupt signal when dump access
b80c25f8
SP
339 the remote tape through RSH. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber
340 <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for providing the patch.
341
8d957ae7
SP
3425. Fixed a bug which was causing dump/restore to display
343 garbage characters instead of the remote host name.
344
2f9a0c5c 345Changes between versions 0.4b11 and 0.4b12 (released January 8, 2000)
df172bbb 346=====================================================================
ae58c8da
SP
347
3481. Small fix in the dump man page. Thanks to Thorsten Kukuk
349 <kukuk@suse.de> for submitting the patch.
2ed89fda 350
a29c23cc
SP
3512. Fix for the exit code when using the size estimate option of
352 dump. Thanks to Matti Taskinen <mkt@rni.helsinki.fi> for
353 submitting the patch.
354
2e682895
SP
3553. Handle EINTR in atomical reads/writes in dump, which was causing
356 dump to fail on some systems. Thanks to Eric Jergensen
357 <eric@dvns.com> for reporting the bug and submitting the patch.
358
3594. Handle more than 16 characters for the device names in dumpdates.
360 (up to 255 now). Thanks to Rainer Clasen <bj@ncc.cicely.de> for
361 tracking down the problem and proposing the solution.
362
3635. Fixed a bug in dump which prevented the creation of the
364 dumpdates file when doing a 0-level dump without already
365 having a dumpdates file. Thanks to Patrik Schindler
366 <poc@pocnet.net> for reporting the bug.
367
3686. Changed the way dump 'S' flag reports the size estimate
369 from number of blocks into bytes (making it compatible
370 with the Solaris version, and simplifying things for
371 amanda users). Thanks to Jason L Tibbitts III
372 <tibbs@math.uh.edu> for reporting the bug.
373
0d0bc326
SP
3747. Fixed a compatibility problem in linux/alpha dump tape format.
375 Now the linux/alpha dump are (again) compatible with the
376 other dump formats. But this breaks compatibility with
377 older dumps made on alpha. Thanks to Mike Tibor
378 <tibor@lib.uaa.alaska.edu> for helping me in finding this bug.
379
cf9aab8e 380Changes between versions 0.4b10 and 0.4b11 (released December 5, 1999)
2ed89fda
SP
381======================================================================
382
3831. Added a '--enable-kerberos' to configure.
5c1faba5 384
144a6db1 3852. Added a 'S' option to dump which determines the amount of space
5c729713 386 that is needed to perform the dump without actually doing it, similar
144a6db1
SP
387 to the Sun's ufsdump 'S' option. Patch contributed by Rob Cermak
388 <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu>.
389
677ee424
SP
3903. Added a 'M' multi-volume option to dump and restore which enables
391 dumping to multiple files (useful when dumping to an ext2
392 partition to make several dump files in order to bypass the 2GB
393 file size limitation). The 'f' argument is treated as a prefix and
394 the output files will be named <prefix>001, <prefix>002 etc. With
395 the 'M' flag, restore automatically selects the right file without
396 asking to enter a new tape each time.
397
7fbb9b02 3984. Fixed a memory leak which was causing dump to grow very big
a29c23cc
SP
399 (270MB when dumping a 10GB filesystem...). Thanks to Jason
400 Fearon <jasonf@netrider.org.au> for reporting the bug.
7fbb9b02 401

402Changes between versions 0.4b9 and 0.4b10 (released November 21, 1999)
403======================================================================
5c1faba5
SP
404
4051. Make configure test if the system glob routines support
406 extended syntax (ALTDIRFUNC). If not, use the internal glob
a95c4c36
SP
407 routines instead of system ones. Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski
408 <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug
409 and helping me resolve this and other minor libc5 compiling
410 glitches.
08ebf8d7 411
c5886bd7
SP
4122. Fix a problem when dumping a ext2fs with the 'filetype'
413 feature enabled. Thanks to Patrick J. LoPresti
414 <patl@cag.lcs.mit.edu> for reporting the bug and to
415 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> for providing the patch.
416
4267a8ad
SP
4173. Made the nodump flag work on directories. A directory which
418 has the nodump flag gets never dumped, regardless of its
419 contents.
420
c930abff
SP
4214. Integrate a patch from Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
422 which allows dump on an active ext3 filesystem. However, this
423 is a "quick and dirty" patch which enables backup of an ext3
424 filesystem through the ext2 compatibility (by ignoring the
425 NEEDS_RECOVERY bit). The journal file is not recognized and
426 it is dumped (it should not).
427
4285. Test the superblock compatibility flags when dumping, in order
429 to be sure that we know how to deal with specific features.

432====================================================================
433
4341. Use lchown instead of chown, fixing a possible security problem
435 when restoring symlinks (a malicious user could use this
436 to deliberately corrupt the ownership of important system files).
437 Thanks to Chris Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for detecting
438 this and providing the patch.

SP
4431. Put dump sources under CVS, added Id tags in all files so
444 one can use 'ident' on binary files.
445
4462. Added the dump/restore version in the usage text so one can
447 easily verify the version he is using.

4493. Small patch from Nuno Oliveira <nuno@eq.uc.pt> which fixes
450 a va_start/va_end problem on linux-ppc (always call va_start
451 va_end in pairs each time we use a vararg function).
452
fa58b58d

4534. Added again the DT_* constants because old libc does not
454 contain them :(. Thanks to Eric Maisonobe <virnet@nat.fr>
455 for submitting the bug report.
456
f34aca37
SP
4575. Use ext2fs_llseek instead of llseek. With recent e2fsprogs
458 this should enable dumping big (huge) filesystems.
459
4606. Added the RSH environment variable in order to be able to
0c62667d
SP
461 use a rsh replacement like ssh when doing remote backups (and
462 bypass the security limitations of rcmd). Now you can do remote
463 backups without being root (or making dump setuid root).
464
f34aca37 4657. Modified again the way dumpdates works. For incremental dumps,
60f5ede9
SP
466 we need to read dumpdates even if we are not using 'u' option.
467 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for his ideas on how
468 this should work.

470Changes between versions 0.4b6 and 0.4b7 (released October 8, 1999)
471===================================================================
472
4731. Removed the 'k' flag from the restore 'about' text if kerberos
474 was not compiled in.
475
4762. Prototyped (f)setflags from e2fsprogs and corrected the calls
477 to them (fsetflags takes a char*, setflags an open fd!).
478
4793. (f)setflags is called only if the flags aren't empty. If the
480 file is a special file, a warning is printed, because changing
481 flags implies opening the device. Normally, a special file
482 should not have any flag... (Debian bug #29775, patch provided
483 by Abhijit Dasgupta <abhijit@ans.net>).
484
4854. Made possible to dump a file system not mentioned in /etc/fstab.
486 (Debian bug #11904, patch provided by Eirik Fuller <eirik@netcom.com>).
487
4885. Changed the default behaviour to not create dumpdates
489 unless 'u' option is specified. Removed the old "debian-patch"
490 which provided the same thing. (Debian bug #38136, #33818).
491
4926. Removed all those dump*announce, since they were getting old...
493
4947. Added warning messages if dumpdates does not exist and
495 when an inferior level dump does not exist (except for a level 0
496 dump).
497
4988. Debugged the glob calls in interactive mode: restore used a
499 dirent struct which was different from the /usr/include/dirent.h
500 one (this used to work, is it a glibc2 change?), so none of the
501 compat glob (which used /usr/include/dirent.h) or the system glob
502 worked. Restore use now the system dirent (and the system
503 DT_* constants), which are compatible with BSD ones.
504
5059. Added a configure flag (--with-dumpdatespath) to specify
506 the location of dumpdates file. By default, it is
507 /etc/dumpdates.
508
50910. Added the "AUTHOR" and "AVAILABILITY" sections and
510 included the current date/version in man pages.
511
51211. Corrected the estimation of remaining time when
513 the operator doesn't change the tapes quickly enough. This
514 was an old bug, I thought I corrected it, and discovered
515 that in fact it was corrected in two different places, so
516 the results canceled each other...

ddd2ef55

520
5211. Integrated multiple patches from RedHat, Debian and SuSE:
522
523 - tweak dump/itime.c to not try to read dumpdates if the 'u' option
524 isn't specified.
525 - several fixes in the man pages.
526 - update the default tape device to /dev/st0.
527 - many updates for Linux Alpha (byte ordering, size_t etc).
528 - buffer overruns.
529 - use environment variable for TMPDIR (instead of /tmp).
530 - use sigjmp_buf instead of jmp_buf (RedHat bug #3260).
531 - workaround egcs bug (RedHat bugs #4281 and #2989).
532 - wire $(OPT) throughout Makefile's.
533
8d4197bb
SP
5342. Upgrade the dump revision to 1, making possible to dump filesystems
535 made with e2fsprogs-1.15 or newer. Nothing seems to break...
ddd2ef55 536
8d4197bb
SP
5373. Fix some compile warnings, prototype all functions.
538
5394. Use glibc err/glob instead of internal compatibility
ddd2ef55
SP
540 routines (only if available).
541
8d4197bb
SP
5425. Fix a compile error on Linux 2.2.7 / libc5 (5.4.44) (patch provided
543 by Bernhard Sadlowski <sadlowsk@mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de>).
544
545Changes between versions 0.4b4 and 0.4b5 (released September 22, 1999)
546======================================================================
b45f51d6
SP
547
5481. Integrated the changes from FreeBSD-3.1-RELEASE
549 (mostly bug fixes, buffer overruns, dump has now an "automatic
550 tape length calculation" flag, dump/restore can use kerberos now
551 (this is NOT tested), use environment variables for TAPE and
552 RMT etc.).
553
5542. Integrated three RedHat patches ("glibc", "kernel" and "bread" patches)
555
5563. Corrected a bug in restore when using 'C' option with multi-volumes
557 tapes (files splited accros two tapes give "size changed" errors
558 when comparing).
559
5604. Corrected the long standing bug when dumping multiple tapes.
561 This works for me, needs further testing.

565
5661. Dump now runs correctly on kernels 2.1.x
567 Fix made by Gerald Peters <gapeters@worldnet.att.net>
568
569Changes between versions 0.4b2 and 0.4b3
570========================================
571
5721. Use realpath() if available
573
5742. Report statistics
575
576Changes between versions 0.4b1 and 0.4b2
577========================================
578
5791. Fixed the bug fix from Greg Lutz (I had made a mistake when integrating
580 the patch)
581
5822. Fixed restore to make it able to read FreeBSD 2.x dumps again
583
5843. Fixed configure.in to correctly handle --enable-rmt
585
586Changes between versions 0.3 and 0.4b1
587======================================
588
5891. Integrated the changes from 4.4BSD-Lite2
590
5912. Integrated the patches from Debian and Red Hat
592
5933. Portability changes: use the __u32, __u16, __s32, and __s16 types
594
5954. Changed dump to use the Ext2fs library to get block addresses. This
596 should solve the endianness problem on SparcLinux.
597
5985. Created a configure.in file (shamelessly stolen from the e2fsprogs
599 distribution's one) to use autoconf
600
6016. Fixed a few minor bugs
602
603Changes between versions 0.2e and 0.2f
604======================================
605
6061. Added the creation of named pipes (fifos) in restore.
607
6082. Added the -N flag in the restore manual page.
609
6103. Added the file kernel.patch which contains the llseek() optimization
611 patch for 1.2.x kernels.
612
6134. Fixed a bug in the restoration of symbolic links: owner and group were
614 not restored.
615
6165. Integrated some changes from FreeBSD 2.2.
617
6186. Added a call to ftruncate() after restoring each file to restore
619 correctly files ending by a hole.
620
621Changes between versions 0.2d and 0.2e
622======================================
623
6241. Fixed a bug in the "set owner/mode" process. Every file was restored
625 with owner = root (0) and group = root/wheel/whatever (0).
626
627Changes between versions 0.2c and 0.2d
628======================================
629
6301. Dump is now able to backup 2GB+ filesystems.
631
6322. Dump and restore can now be linked as static binaries.
633
634Changes between versions 0.2b and 0.2c
635======================================
636
6371. Fixed a bug when dumping ``slow'' (i.e. normal) symbolic links.
638
639Changes between versions 0.2a and 0.2b
640======================================
641
6421. Really fixed the bug that I should have corrected in 0.2a.
643
6442. Enabled optimization again.
645
646Changes between versions 0.2 and 0.2a
647=====================================
648
6491. Disabled the optimization during compilation.
650
651Changes between versions 0.1 and 0.2
652====================================
653
6541. Fixed a bug in fstab.c which caused a null pointer to be stored in
655 the fs_type field (actually, I modified the file fstab.c to make it
656 use the mntent functions).
657
6582. Dump and restore now use a 4.3 BSD compatible dump format. Backups
659 made by dump should be readable by the BSD restore and backups made
660 by the BSD dump should be readable by restore. Unfortunately, this
661 means that the dump format has changed between version 0.1 and version
662 0.2 :-(
663
6643. Dump is now able to backup a subtree, it is no longer limited to whole
665 filesystems like the BSD version.
666
6674. Dump now uses ext2_llseek() so it is able to backup filesystems bigger
668 than 2 GB.
669
670Changes between versions 0.0 and 0.1
671====================================
672
6731. Now create links rdump and rrestore during the `make install' step.
674
6752. Linux port specific bugs added to the manual pages
676
6773. Incorrect estimation of the number of tapes blocks fixed when doing
678 incremental backups.
679
6804. Better ls-like format in restore in interactive mode.
