3 Changes between versions 0.4b22 and 0.4b23 (released ????????????)
4 ==================================================================
6 1. Fixed a buffer overflow in restore/tape.c. Patch provided by
7 Marcus Meissner (Caldera International Security Dept.).
9 2. Implement the Sun rmt extended protocol. Patch submitted
10 by Ian Gordon <iangordon@users.sourceforge.net>.
12 3. Check for the e2fsprogs header <ext2fs/ext2_fs.h> instead of
13 the linux kernel header. This ensures that dump always has the
14 latest version of this file. Patch submitted by
15 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>.
17 4. Report any filesystem present in either /etc/fstab with a
18 positive passno or /etc/dumpdates in dump -w output.
19 Patch submitted by Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>.
21 5. Fixed the looping problem in dump introduced in the
24 6. Changed the -B option of dump to limit the size of
25 _compressed_ output per volume if compression is on.
26 Patch contributed by Helmut Jarausch
27 <jarausch@igpm.rwth-aachen.de>.
29 7. Fixed a bug in reading the operator typed file/tape path for
30 the next volume in restore.
32 8. Implemented a "-F script" option to restore which permits the
33 user to specify a script which will be launched at the
34 beginning of each tape, useful for automatic programming of
35 tape changers for example. See the restore man page for the
36 script parameters and return codes.
38 Changes between versions 0.4b21 and 0.4b22 (released May 12, 2001)
39 ==================================================================
41 1. Made dump report the number of blocks dumped per volume.
42 Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
44 2. Fix a bug in dump where waiting too much at the 'change volumes'
45 question caused the volume to be rewritten. Thanks to
46 Graham Reed <greed@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the
47 bug and providing a patch.
49 3. Added a compression option to dump, contributed by Jerry
50 Peters <gapeters@worldnet.att.net>.
52 WARNING: the compression works only on files/pipes and
53 drives supporting variable block size.
55 WARNING2: tapes created using the compression feature are
56 incompatible with the standard dump tape format, and a
57 version of restore >= 0.4b22 will be needed for extraction.
59 4. Fixed some compilation problems for glibc 2.2.2 and 64 bit
60 architectures. Thanks to Paul Slootman <paul@debian.org> for
61 the patch and to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for forwarding
64 5. Many cleanups (CPP defines, const char warnings, check of
65 ext2fs COMPAT flags, time_t cleanups, added libext2 version
66 in dump usage text) by Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>.
68 6. Made --prefix option work in configure. All the install path
69 are now based on the configure parameters.
71 7. Added the Quick File Access mode in dump/restore, contributed
72 by Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de>. In this mode, dump stores in
73 a file tape position for each inode, and this file is used by
74 restore (if called with parameter Q and the filename)
75 to directly position the tape at the file restore is currently
76 working on. This saves hours when restoring single files from
77 large backups, saves the tapes and the drive's head. Use
78 --enable-qfa option of configure to compile in the QFA support.
80 8. Added the possibility to dump several files and directories
81 in a single invocation of dump. Thanks to Uwe Gohlke
82 <uwe@ugsoft.de> for implementing this option.
84 9. Fixed the dumping and restoring of files with holes
85 (files ending with holes didn't get dumped or restored
88 10. Fixed a socket descriptor leak in dump, which leaved opened
89 3 file descriptors per dump process (and there is one dump
92 11. Fixed dump large file system support, by explicit use of
93 open64/lseek64/etc functions (explicit use needed because
94 e2fsprogs libraries don't behave well when compiled with
97 Changes between versions 0.4b20 and 0.4b21 (released January 13, 2001)
98 ======================================================================
100 1. Fixed some bugs in the dump -w|-W logic introduced by
101 the previous version. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
102 <adilger@turbolinux.com> for his help on this one.
104 2. Fixed again a compilation problem when using old e2fs
105 headers (filesystem label related). Thanks to many users
106 who reported this stupid error.
108 3. Fixed a build problem on old lib5 based systems dealing with
109 _PATH_MNTTAB being undefined. Thanks to John Adams
110 <johna@onevista.com> for reporting the bug.
112 4. Improved the error detection in restore when creating
113 the temporary files in TMPDIR. Now restore will corectly
114 report a 'no space left on device' error instead of
115 strange errors which could imply an archive corruption.
116 Thanks to Gabriel Somlo <somlo@cs.colostate.edu> and
117 bgjenero <bgjenero@sympatico.ca> for reporting the bug.
119 5. Added the throughput information in dump's progression
120 messages. Thanks to Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
123 6. Use libext2fs's inode scanning routines, which are particularly
124 robust when dealing with errors (especially when having some
125 bad blocks on the filesystem). Many thanks to Colin
126 <colin@horizon.com> for reporting the bug, investigating
127 the issues, finding a workaround, writing the patch and
128 fully testing it... (of course, if this patch will break
129 anything, he is to blame for :-)).
131 7. Made dump and restore LFS aware. Dump can dump a filesystem
132 containing large files, generate a large file on output and
133 restore can restore them. This feature is not enabled by
134 default, use --enable-largefile option of configure to enable
135 it (you need to have a LFS aware glibc though). Thanks to
136 Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@suse.de> for submitting the patch,
137 and to Theodore T'so <tytso@valinux.com> for his always
140 8. Made dump ask upon a tape write error if it should rewrite
141 the current volume (assume this is a bad tape) or if it should
142 assume an end-of-tape condition (useful for tape drives which
143 behaves badly at the end of the tape). Thanks to Andreas
144 Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the suggestion.
146 Changes between versions 0.4b19 and 0.4b20 (released November 10, 2000)
147 =======================================================================
149 1. Fixed a small compilation problem due to a change
150 in the definintion of the struct sigaction in
151 glibc 2.0 / libc5. Thanks to Gunther Schlegel
152 <schlegel@riege.de> for reporting the bug and to
153 Dave Platt <dplatt@snulbug.mtview.ca.us> for suggesting
156 2. Modified the label and uuid analysis in order to be
157 self-contained (independant of kernel/libc headers). This
158 should fix the compile with older kernel/libc headers and
159 will preserve the functionality. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann
160 <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de> for reporting the bug.
162 3. The 'exclude inode' option, if applied to a directory
163 inode, excludes now correctly all the leaves of this
164 directory. Thanks to John R. Dennison
165 <gerdesas@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.
167 4. Fixed the '-e' option to disable the possibility
168 to exclude the root inode (which causes the dumps to
169 be unreadable by restore). Prevented array overflow
170 when multiple -e options are used.
172 5. Fixed dump to correctly interpret a filesystem argument
173 which is a mountpoint and it is not an absolute path
174 (as specified in the fstab). Thanks to Bernhard R. Erdmann
175 <be@berdmann.de> for reporting the bug.
177 6. Made dump able to backup files larger than 2 GB. Note that
178 dump still doesn't cope with files larger than 4 GB.
180 7. Restore the real uid and gid before invoking an external
181 RSH program (big hole when dump or restore is suid root!).
183 8. Get the values for the default tape device and the location
184 of fstab file from the system headers. Thanks to
185 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
187 9. Made dump -w|-W report all recognized filesystems
188 present in either /etc/fstab or /etc/dumpdates, and present
189 the list in the same order as in fstab file. Thanks
190 to Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
192 10. Made dump's -a (automatic end of tape detection) the
193 default. Specifying one of -B, -c, -d or -s options will
194 override the EOM detection. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
195 <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
197 11. Save the ext2 filesystem label into the dump volume label.
198 Specifying a volume label on the command line (-L option)
199 will override this feature. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
200 <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
202 Changes between versions 0.4b18 and 0.4b19 (released August 20, 2000)
203 =====================================================================
205 1. Fixed the signal handling in dump (which I broke in 0.4b17)
206 which was causing several strange dump failures (dump
207 hanged or segmentation faults etc).
209 2. Specified the default blocksize in the dump man page.
211 3. Changed two info messages of restore to be written on stdout
212 instead of stderr in order to leave stderr only for errors
213 or warnings. Thanks to Stephen Atwell
214 <satwell@urbana.css.mot.com> for the suggestion.
216 4. Corrected an off by one calculation which prevented
217 dumping a directory having a 1 character name length.
218 Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de>
219 for reporting the bug.
221 5. Reinforce dump in order to allow only level 0 and no
222 -u option when dumping a subdirectory, and document
223 this in the man page. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann
224 <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de> for reporting the bug.
226 6. Fixed a small harmless bug in restore which caused
227 in some conditions hard links to be restored several
228 times (therefore generation some warning messages).
229 Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com> for
232 7. Updated the RPM spec file to the latest RedHat version,
233 providing FHS packaging and other cosmetic changes.
234 You will need RPM version >= 3.0.5 in order to build the RPM.
236 8. Updated the configure script to check for libtermcap
237 before checking for libreadline, because we need this
238 library in order to compile the readline support.
240 9. Made dump understand the LABEL= and UUID= notation
241 both in /etc/fstab and on the command line. Note that
242 you will need the /proc filesystem in order to use
243 these notations. Thanks to Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com>
244 for providing the patch.
246 Changes between versions 0.4b17 and 0.4b18 (released June 30, 2000)
247 ===================================================================
249 1. Fixed a potential buffer overflow in restore. Thanks
250 to Stan Bubrouski <satan@fastdial.net> for reporting
253 2. Fixed a readline-related bug which prevented
254 'cat DUMPFILE | restore -i -f -' from working. Thanks
255 to Charles Karney <karney@users.sourceforge.net>
258 3. Changed a few "panic" into "exit", causing restore to
259 be more stable against some attacks (like the last one
260 reported on Bugtraq, although the last version of restore
261 was not vulnerable - just dumped core). Thanks to
262 Andreas Hasenack <andreas@conectiva.com.br> for reporting
265 4. Removed the suid-root bit on dump and restore in the
266 default build (and generated RPMs). It should be safer
267 now. Users who need the suid-root capabilities in order
268 to make network backups should read first the man page
269 of dump and enable the suid bit manually.
271 5. Added -ltermcap to the compile parameters for restore
272 when using readline support, in order to make the compile
273 process work on some systems (SuSE ?). Thanks to
274 Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for reporting the bug.
276 Changes between versions 0.4b16 and 0.4b17 (released June 1st, 2000)
277 ====================================================================
279 1. The -F script is called now *only* at the end of a tape,
280 not at the end of the dump. Thanks to Christian Haul
281 <haul@informatik.tu-darmstadt.de> for the bug report.
283 Normally, the device name and the current volume number
284 are passed on the command line of the script. However,
285 if you want the old style script (with no arguments
286 passed on the command line), you can enable it in
287 configure with the --enable-oldstylefscript.
289 2. Use posix signal handling to preserve dump functionality
290 with libc5. Thanks to Jeff Johnson <jbj@redhat.com> for
293 3. Made the exit code of restore in case of a 'C'ompare
294 command reflect the result of the compare. An exit status
295 of 0 means the dump archive is correct, 1 means tape errors,
296 2 means that some files were modified. Thanks to Kenneth Porter
297 <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
299 4. Made (finally) quotes work in interactive restore.
301 5. Small fixes in order to allow dump to compile with a
302 really old e2fsprogs version. Thanks to Ian Zimmerman
303 <itz@speakeasy.org> for the bug report.
305 6. Add GNU readline capabilities to interactive restore.
306 Use configure's --enable-readline flag to enable this feature.
307 Thanks to Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for the
310 7. Do the compare on the fly in restore 'C' mode (this will
311 allow not to exhaust the available /tmp space when
312 ccmparing large files). Thanks to Kenneth Porter
313 <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
315 Changes between versions 0.4b15 and 0.4b16 (released March 11, 2000)
316 ====================================================================
318 1. Fixed some several duplicate 'DUMP: DUMP:' in the
321 2. Corrected the estimation of blocks to dump. Note that
322 this is still wrong for large directory inodes, due
323 to the size of a BSD directory entry on the tape
324 (estimation is based on the size of the ext2 directory,
325 which is smaller because it doesn't contain the null
326 character at the end).
328 3. Made dump report the total number of MB written to
329 tape at the end of run. Thanks to W. Reilly Cooley
330 <wcooley@nakedape.cc> for the patch.
332 4. Added the -X option to restore giving the possibility
333 to read the names of the files to be extracted/listed
334 from a text file (in addition of the command line).
335 Thanks to Dejan Muhamedagic <dejan@quant-x.com> for the
338 5. Added the device name and the current volume number
339 as arguments to the end of tape script (dump -F option).
341 6. Made the multi-volume dump work again (after having
342 broken it in 0.4b15).
344 Changes between versions 0.4b14 and 0.4b15 (released March 2, 2000)
345 ===================================================================
347 1. Added a prompt command in interactive restore mode. Thanks
348 to Andreas Dilger <adilger@home.com> for the patch.
350 2. Fixed a buffer overflow problem in dump (caused by
351 not checking the size of the filesystem parameter).
352 Thanks to Kim Yong-jun <loveyou@hackerslab.org> for
353 reporting this on Bugtraq (and to several dump users
354 who forwarded me his mail).
356 3. Added the '-F script' option to dump in order to
357 launch a script at the end of each tape (to be used
358 with a tape changer, or to notify the sysadmin by
361 4. Fixed a bug in restore compare code caused by the changes
364 5. Fixed the treatment of options using the old BSD syntax
365 in both dump and restore.
367 Changes between versions 0.4b13 and 0.4b14 (released February 10, 2000)
368 =======================================================================
370 1. Fixed a bug in dump which may have caused invalid deleted
371 directories to be dumped out if they were deleted after the
372 mapping pass. This could occure on active filesystem and lead
373 to heap corruption (causing dump malfunction in many possible ways).
374 Thanks to Jan Sanislo <oystr@cs.washington.edu> for finding this
375 bug and submitting the patch.
377 2. Fixed the handling of the filesystem parameter in dump. A
378 '/mnt/disk' parameter caused the disk contents to be dumped,
379 but a '/mnt/disk/' parameter caused the mountpoint directory
380 to be dumped (generally an empty directory).
382 3. Improved the output of dump in order to tell which directory
383 it is currently dumping (when dumping a subtree).
385 4. Added the '-e' exclude inode option to dump. Thanks to
386 Isaac Chuang <ike@isl.stanford.edu> for contributing with the patch.
388 5. Added a REPORTING-BUGS file in order to provide a guide
389 on how to correctly report a bug in dump/restore.
391 6. Fixed a restore problem when restoring a hard link to an inode
392 having the immutable or append-only attribute set. Thanks to
393 Ambrose Li <acli@mingpaoxpress.com> for submitting the patch.
395 7. Fixed a compatibility problem between dumps made on little
396 endian machines (the format was correct) and big endian
397 machines (the format was incorrect). This fix break the
398 compatibility with the older dumps made on big endian
399 machines (sparc, m86k, ppc etc). For the first time in
400 linux dump's history (I believe), the dumps made by *BSD,
401 Linux/alpha, Linux/sparc and Linux/x86 are compatible,
402 so interchangeable. Thanks to Rob Cermak
403 <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu> for submitting the bug and
404 helping me test the fix.
406 8. Fixed the way dump reports the remaining percent/time, if
407 the number of blocks actually dumped exceeds the estimated
408 number of blocks. Thanks to Jean-Paul van der Jagt
409 <jeanpaul@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl> for reporting the bug.
411 Changes between versions 0.4b12 and 0.4b13 (released January 21, 2000)
412 ======================================================================
414 1. Small Y2K fix in the man pages :). Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski
415 <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug.
417 2. Removed the requirement to build the RPM as root from the
418 spec file. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber
419 <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for submitting this.
421 3. Fixed a bug in dump related to the 'filetype' feature of ext2fs,
422 causing dump to block when dumping really huge filesystems.
423 Many thanks to Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for
424 helping me find this bug.
426 4. Fixed the treatment for an interrupt signal when dump access
427 the remote tape through RSH. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber
428 <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for providing the patch.
430 5. Fixed a bug which was causing dump/restore to display
431 garbage characters instead of the remote host name.
433 Changes between versions 0.4b11 and 0.4b12 (released January 8, 2000)
434 =====================================================================
436 1. Small fix in the dump man page. Thanks to Thorsten Kukuk
437 <kukuk@suse.de> for submitting the patch.
439 2. Fix for the exit code when using the size estimate option of
440 dump. Thanks to Matti Taskinen <mkt@rni.helsinki.fi> for
441 submitting the patch.
443 3. Handle EINTR in atomical reads/writes in dump, which was causing
444 dump to fail on some systems. Thanks to Eric Jergensen
445 <eric@dvns.com> for reporting the bug and submitting the patch.
447 4. Handle more than 16 characters for the device names in dumpdates.
448 (up to 255 now). Thanks to Rainer Clasen <bj@ncc.cicely.de> for
449 tracking down the problem and proposing the solution.
451 5. Fixed a bug in dump which prevented the creation of the
452 dumpdates file when doing a 0-level dump without already
453 having a dumpdates file. Thanks to Patrik Schindler
454 <poc@pocnet.net> for reporting the bug.
456 6. Changed the way dump 'S' flag reports the size estimate
457 from number of blocks into bytes (making it compatible
458 with the Solaris version, and simplifying things for
459 amanda users). Thanks to Jason L Tibbitts III
460 <tibbs@math.uh.edu> for reporting the bug.
462 7. Fixed a compatibility problem in linux/alpha dump tape format.
463 Now the linux/alpha dump are (again) compatible with the
464 other dump formats. But this breaks compatibility with
465 older dumps made on alpha. Thanks to Mike Tibor
466 <tibor@lib.uaa.alaska.edu> for helping me in finding this bug.
468 Changes between versions 0.4b10 and 0.4b11 (released December 5, 1999)
469 ======================================================================
471 1. Added a '--enable-kerberos' to configure.
473 2. Added a 'S' option to dump which determines the amount of space
474 that is needed to perform the dump without actually doing it, similar
475 to the Sun's ufsdump 'S' option. Patch contributed by Rob Cermak
476 <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu>.
478 3. Added a 'M' multi-volume option to dump and restore which enables
479 dumping to multiple files (useful when dumping to an ext2
480 partition to make several dump files in order to bypass the 2GB
481 file size limitation). The 'f' argument is treated as a prefix and
482 the output files will be named <prefix>001, <prefix>002 etc. With
483 the 'M' flag, restore automatically selects the right file without
484 asking to enter a new tape each time.
486 4. Fixed a memory leak which was causing dump to grow very big
487 (270MB when dumping a 10GB filesystem...). Thanks to Jason
488 Fearon <jasonf@netrider.org.au> for reporting the bug.
490 Changes between versions 0.4b9 and 0.4b10 (released November 21, 1999)
491 ======================================================================
493 1. Make configure test if the system glob routines support
494 extended syntax (ALTDIRFUNC). If not, use the internal glob
495 routines instead of system ones. Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski
496 <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug
497 and helping me resolve this and other minor libc5 compiling
500 2. Fix a problem when dumping a ext2fs with the 'filetype'
501 feature enabled. Thanks to Patrick J. LoPresti
502 <patl@cag.lcs.mit.edu> for reporting the bug and to
503 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> for providing the patch.
505 3. Made the nodump flag work on directories. A directory which
506 has the nodump flag gets never dumped, regardless of its
509 4. Integrate a patch from Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
510 which allows dump on an active ext3 filesystem. However, this
511 is a "quick and dirty" patch which enables backup of an ext3
512 filesystem through the ext2 compatibility (by ignoring the
513 NEEDS_RECOVERY bit). The journal file is not recognized and
514 it is dumped (it should not).
516 5. Test the superblock compatibility flags when dumping, in order
517 to be sure that we know how to deal with specific features.
519 Changes between versions 0.4b8 and 0.4b9 (released November 5, 1999)
520 ====================================================================
522 1. Use lchown instead of chown, fixing a possible security problem
523 when restoring symlinks (a malicious user could use this
524 to deliberately corrupt the ownership of important system files).
525 Thanks to Chris Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for detecting
526 this and providing the patch.
528 Changes between versions 0.4b7 and 0.4b8 (released November 3, 1999)
529 ====================================================================
531 1. Put dump sources under CVS, added Id tags in all files so
532 one can use 'ident' on binary files.
534 2. Added the dump/restore version in the usage text so one can
535 easily verify the version he is using.
537 3. Small patch from Nuno Oliveira <nuno@eq.uc.pt> which fixes
538 a va_start/va_end problem on linux-ppc (always call va_start
539 va_end in pairs each time we use a vararg function).
541 4. Added again the DT_* constants because old libc does not
542 contain them :(. Thanks to Eric Maisonobe <virnet@nat.fr>
543 for submitting the bug report.
545 5. Use ext2fs_llseek instead of llseek. With recent e2fsprogs
546 this should enable dumping big (huge) filesystems.
548 6. Added the RSH environment variable in order to be able to
549 use a rsh replacement like ssh when doing remote backups (and
550 bypass the security limitations of rcmd). Now you can do remote
551 backups without being root (or making dump setuid root).
553 7. Modified again the way dumpdates works. For incremental dumps,
554 we need to read dumpdates even if we are not using 'u' option.
555 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for his ideas on how
558 Changes between versions 0.4b6 and 0.4b7 (released October 8, 1999)
559 ===================================================================
561 1. Removed the 'k' flag from the restore 'about' text if kerberos
564 2. Prototyped (f)setflags from e2fsprogs and corrected the calls
565 to them (fsetflags takes a char*, setflags an open fd!).
567 3. (f)setflags is called only if the flags aren't empty. If the
568 file is a special file, a warning is printed, because changing
569 flags implies opening the device. Normally, a special file
570 should not have any flag... (Debian bug #29775, patch provided
571 by Abhijit Dasgupta <abhijit@ans.net>).
573 4. Made possible to dump a file system not mentioned in /etc/fstab.
574 (Debian bug #11904, patch provided by Eirik Fuller <eirik@netcom.com>).
576 5. Changed the default behaviour to not create dumpdates
577 unless 'u' option is specified. Removed the old "debian-patch"
578 which provided the same thing. (Debian bug #38136, #33818).
580 6. Removed all those dump*announce, since they were getting old...
582 7. Added warning messages if dumpdates does not exist and
583 when an inferior level dump does not exist (except for a level 0
586 8. Debugged the glob calls in interactive mode: restore used a
587 dirent struct which was different from the /usr/include/dirent.h
588 one (this used to work, is it a glibc2 change?), so none of the
589 compat glob (which used /usr/include/dirent.h) or the system glob
590 worked. Restore use now the system dirent (and the system
591 DT_* constants), which are compatible with BSD ones.
593 9. Added a configure flag (--with-dumpdatespath) to specify
594 the location of dumpdates file. By default, it is
597 10. Added the "AUTHOR" and "AVAILABILITY" sections and
598 included the current date/version in man pages.
600 11. Corrected the estimation of remaining time when
601 the operator doesn't change the tapes quickly enough. This
602 was an old bug, I thought I corrected it, and discovered
603 that in fact it was corrected in two different places, so
604 the results canceled each other...
606 Changes between versions 0.4b5 and 0.4b6 (released October 1, 1999)
607 ===================================================================
609 1. Integrated multiple patches from RedHat, Debian and SuSE:
611 - tweak dump/itime.c to not try to read dumpdates if the 'u' option
613 - several fixes in the man pages.
614 - update the default tape device to /dev/st0.
615 - many updates for Linux Alpha (byte ordering, size_t etc).
617 - use environment variable for TMPDIR (instead of /tmp).
618 - use sigjmp_buf instead of jmp_buf (RedHat bug #3260).
619 - workaround egcs bug (RedHat bugs #4281 and #2989).
620 - wire $(OPT) throughout Makefile's.
622 2. Upgrade the dump revision to 1, making possible to dump filesystems
623 made with e2fsprogs-1.15 or newer. Nothing seems to break...
625 3. Fix some compile warnings, prototype all functions.
627 4. Use glibc err/glob instead of internal compatibility
628 routines (only if available).
630 5. Fix a compile error on Linux 2.2.7 / libc5 (5.4.44) (patch provided
631 by Bernhard Sadlowski <sadlowsk@mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de>).
633 Changes between versions 0.4b4 and 0.4b5 (released September 22, 1999)
634 ======================================================================
636 1. Integrated the changes from FreeBSD-3.1-RELEASE
637 (mostly bug fixes, buffer overruns, dump has now an "automatic
638 tape length calculation" flag, dump/restore can use kerberos now
639 (this is NOT tested), use environment variables for TAPE and
642 2. Integrated three RedHat patches ("glibc", "kernel" and "bread" patches)
644 3. Corrected a bug in restore when using 'C' option with multi-volumes
645 tapes (files splited accros two tapes give "size changed" errors
648 4. Corrected the long standing bug when dumping multiple tapes.
649 This works for me, needs further testing.
651 Changes between versions 0.4b3 and 0.4b4 (released January 17, 1997)
652 ====================================================================
654 1. Dump now runs correctly on kernels 2.1.x
655 Fix made by Gerald Peters <gapeters@worldnet.att.net>
657 Changes between versions 0.4b2 and 0.4b3
658 ========================================
660 1. Use realpath() if available
664 Changes between versions 0.4b1 and 0.4b2
665 ========================================
667 1. Fixed the bug fix from Greg Lutz (I had made a mistake when integrating
670 2. Fixed restore to make it able to read FreeBSD 2.x dumps again
672 3. Fixed configure.in to correctly handle --enable-rmt
674 Changes between versions 0.3 and 0.4b1
675 ======================================
677 1. Integrated the changes from 4.4BSD-Lite2
679 2. Integrated the patches from Debian and Red Hat
681 3. Portability changes: use the __u32, __u16, __s32, and __s16 types
683 4. Changed dump to use the Ext2fs library to get block addresses. This
684 should solve the endianness problem on SparcLinux.
686 5. Created a configure.in file (shamelessly stolen from the e2fsprogs
687 distribution's one) to use autoconf
689 6. Fixed a few minor bugs
691 Changes between versions 0.2e and 0.2f
692 ======================================
694 1. Added the creation of named pipes (fifos) in restore.
696 2. Added the -N flag in the restore manual page.
698 3. Added the file kernel.patch which contains the llseek() optimization
699 patch for 1.2.x kernels.
701 4. Fixed a bug in the restoration of symbolic links: owner and group were
704 5. Integrated some changes from FreeBSD 2.2.
706 6. Added a call to ftruncate() after restoring each file to restore
707 correctly files ending by a hole.
709 Changes between versions 0.2d and 0.2e
710 ======================================
712 1. Fixed a bug in the "set owner/mode" process. Every file was restored
713 with owner = root (0) and group = root/wheel/whatever (0).
715 Changes between versions 0.2c and 0.2d
716 ======================================
718 1. Dump is now able to backup 2GB+ filesystems.
720 2. Dump and restore can now be linked as static binaries.
722 Changes between versions 0.2b and 0.2c
723 ======================================
725 1. Fixed a bug when dumping ``slow'' (i.e. normal) symbolic links.
727 Changes between versions 0.2a and 0.2b
728 ======================================
730 1. Really fixed the bug that I should have corrected in 0.2a.
732 2. Enabled optimization again.
734 Changes between versions 0.2 and 0.2a
735 =====================================
737 1. Disabled the optimization during compilation.
739 Changes between versions 0.1 and 0.2
740 ====================================
742 1. Fixed a bug in fstab.c which caused a null pointer to be stored in
743 the fs_type field (actually, I modified the file fstab.c to make it
744 use the mntent functions).
746 2. Dump and restore now use a 4.3 BSD compatible dump format. Backups
747 made by dump should be readable by the BSD restore and backups made
748 by the BSD dump should be readable by restore. Unfortunately, this
749 means that the dump format has changed between version 0.1 and version
752 3. Dump is now able to backup a subtree, it is no longer limited to whole
753 filesystems like the BSD version.
755 4. Dump now uses ext2_llseek() so it is able to backup filesystems bigger
758 Changes between versions 0.0 and 0.1
759 ====================================
761 1. Now create links rdump and rrestore during the `make install' step.
763 2. Linux port specific bugs added to the manual pages
765 3. Incorrect estimation of the number of tapes blocks fixed when doing
768 4. Better ls-like format in restore in interactive mode.
