2 | Ok, I'm back ;-) | |
3 | ||
4 | Dump 0.3 is now available on tsx-11.mit.edu in the directory | |
5 | /pub/linux/packages/ext2fs. | |
6 | ||
7 | Restore is now able to restore named pipes (fifos). Thanks to | |
8 | Jason Venner <jason@idiom.com> for reporting the bug. I have also fixed | |
9 | a bug in the symlink restoration: owner and group were not set by previous | |
10 | version. Thanks to Klaus Kudielka <kkudielk@cacofonix.nt.tuwien.ac.at> for | |
11 | reporting it. Restore is now able to restore correctly files ending with | |
12 | a hole (mainly DLL shared libraries under Linux). Thanks to David Monro | |
13 | <davidm@cs.su.oz.au> for sending me a patch much cleaner than mine :-) | |
14 | ||
15 | Kevin Layer <layer@Franz.COM> has implemented a verify option in | |
16 | restore. It is now possible to check a dump against the contents of the | |
17 | filesystem. Thank you very much, Kevin! | |
18 | ||
19 | Some bug fixes from FreeBSD 2.2-current have also been integrated. | |
20 | ||
21 | Last, I have added the file `linux-1.2.x.patch' in the distribution. | |
22 | This patch for 1.2 kernels should be applied if you want to get better | |
23 | performances. | |
24 | ||
25 | I remind you that dump and restore should be considered as software | |
26 | in BETA test. Don't rely too much on them for your backups... | |
