2
3 Changes between versions 0.4b34 and 0.4b35 (released ??????????????)
4 ====================================================================
5
6 1. Added a note in the dump man page saying that the default
7 blocksize can be 32 if -d is used with a high density argument.
8 Thanks to Antonios Christofides <A.Christofides@itia.ntua.gr>
9 for the patch.
10
11 2. Fixed configure to correctly understand CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS,
12 LDFLAGS environment variables. Thanks to Arcady Genkin
13 <antipode@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.
14
15 Changes between versions 0.4b33 and 0.4b34 (released April 18, 2003)
16 ====================================================================
17
18 1. Fixed the INSTALL file to reflect the actual install paths.
19 Thanks to David Ronis <ronis@ronispc.chem.mcgill.ca> for
20 reporting the bug.
21
22 2. Fixed the configure script to only check for headers presence
23 instead of trying to compile them. This should fix issues
24 with old build environments. Thanks to Kari Lempiainen
25 <kari@funky.pp.fi> for reporting the bug.
26
27 3. Fixed restore to correctly ignore sockets when comparing
28 a dump (as socket cannot be properly restored anyway). Thanks
29 to Gunther Reiszig <gunther@mit.edu> for reporting the bug.
30
31 4. Fixed restore to correctly access the archive file (-A argument)
32 even when using a remote tape. Thanks to Fabrice Bellet
33 <fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting the bug.
34
35 5. Fixed (again) handling of long (largefile) seeks in rmt.
36 Thanks to Fabrice Bellet <fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting
37 the bug.
38
39 6. Fixed restore corner case when dealing with large block sizes
40 dump is able to write now (-b 1024). Thanks to Fabrice Bellet
41 <fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting the bug.
42
43 7. Fixed a bug preventing dump to access a filesystem having
44 a label exactly 16 bytes in length. Thanks to <minduni@ti-edu.ch>
45 for reporting the bug.
46
47 8. Made dump store dump dates using explicit timezones, fixing a
48 problem with incremental dumps if the timezone is modified
49 between the dumps. Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for
50 the bug report and the patch.
51
52 9. Fixed a bug encountered when dumping individual files (not full
53 filesystems or directories) and dangling symbolic links happen
54 to be in the list of files. For as far as dump is concerned,
55 dangling symbolic links are allowed, and are dumped as is.
56 Thanks to Jin-su Ahn <jsahn@ee.snu.ac.kr> for reporting the
57 bug and providing the fix.
58
59 10. Fixed open and creation modes and permissions for QFA and
60 table-of-contents files in dump and restore. Thanks to
61 Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch.
62
63 11. Fixed the archive file descriptor handling enabling it to be 0.
64 This can happen in some cases when shell redirections are used.
65 Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch.
66
67 12. Delayed the opening of archive file until after suid had been
68 dropped (fixing a possible security issue if dump is suid).
69 Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch.
70
71 13. Fixed the 'S' command handling in the rmt client part.
72 Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch.
73
74 14. Modified the end-of-tape script handling to print out statistics
75 (and stop the timer) before launching the eot script. Also, the eot
76 script does not get run anymore when using -M (which makes sense) or
77 when multiple tapes are listed on the command line
78 (-f tape0,tape1,tapen) (which also makes sense).
79 Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch.
80
81 15. Relicensed dump/restore under the 'revised' BSD license, as per
82 ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change.
83
84 16. Added LZO compression to dump. This new compression method has
85 the advantage of being super fast, thus not killing tape streaming
86 on slow machines. Thanks to Helmut Jarausch
87 <jarausch@igpm.rwth-aachen.de> for the patch and to
88 Markus Oberhumer <markus@oberhumer.com> for giving special permission
89 to include his miniLZO project (GPL licensed) in dump/restore.
90
91 17. Some small buffer overruns fixes in rmt. Thanks to Antonomasia
92 <ant@notatla.demon.co.uk> for reporting the bugs.
93
94 18. Added a special rmt version which can do encryption when writing
95 to tape. Read examples/encrypted_rmt/README for details on
96 how to enable and configure it. Thanks to Ken Lalonde
97 <ken@globalremit.com> for the patch.
98
99 19. Made dump work with 2.5 kernel end of tape early warning semantics.
100 Thanks to Kai Makisara <Kai.Makisara@kolumbus.fi> for the patch.
101
102 20. Fixed a bug which caused dump -w|-W not to work anymore, because
103 the fs_freq and fs_passno fields in /etc/mtab are always set
104 to 0 0. Thanks to Trent Piepho <xyzzy@speakeasy.org> for
105 reporting the bug.
106
107 Changes between versions 0.4b32 and 0.4b33 (released February 10, 2003)
108 =======================================================================
109
110 1. Added a note in the restore man page clarifying the question
111 'set the permissions on the current directory ?' asked by
112 restore at the end of treatment in -i and -x modes.
113
114 2. Fixed the endianess issues when reading compressed tapes.
115 Thanks to Dark Force <daq4th@users.sourceforge.net> for
116 reporting this bug and providing test cases.
117
118 3. Fixed the "ACL won't be dumped" warning message (which showed
119 an extra, unrelated error message). Thanks to Dragan Krnic
120 <dkrnic@lycos.com> for reporting this bug.
121
122 4. Made dump look first into /etc/mtab, then into /etc/fstab
123 when searching for filesystem paths. Also fixed some problems
124 caused by binding mounts or multiple block device mounts.
125 Thanks to Matus Uhlar <uhlar@fantomas.sk>, Elliott Mitchell
126 <ehem@m5p.com>, Greg Edwards <gedwards@users.sourceforge.net>,
127 Brian Hoy <brian.hoy@opus.co.nz>. (fixes Debian bugs #147086
128 and #160305, Sourceforge bugs #618699 and #679832).
129
130 5. Made dump's -I option accept the value '0' meaning all the
131 read errors will be ignored. This can be useful when running
132 dump from unattended sessions (like cron jobs). Thanks to
133 John I Wang <jiwang@users.sourceforge.net> for the suggestion.
134
135 6. Fixed the output of dump to indicate 'blocks' instead of
136 'tape blocks' in the various messages (blocks are always
137 1 Kilobyte, tape blocks are 1 BK * '-b' argument), and
138 made it clearly print the current blocksize at the start of
139 a dump. Thanks to Michal Szymanski <msz@astrouw.edu.pl> for
140 the suggestions.
141
142 7. Made rmt understand long (largefiles) seeks.
143
144 8. Fixed build with very old versions of libext2fs, where
145 EXT2_FT_* constants were undefined.
146
147 9. Made dump accept the dumpdates path on the command line
148 (-D file option) instead of using only the hardcoded one.
149 Thanks to Piete Brooks <pb22@users.sourceforge.net> for the
150 suggestion.
151
152 10. Enabled rmt, LFS, readline, QFA options by default in
153 ./configure. Updated the configure process (new versions
154 of config.guess, config.sub etc).
155
156 Changes between versions 0.4b31 and 0.4b32 (released November 15, 2002)
157 =======================================================================
158
159 1. Changed dump to use fcntl(F_SETLK) style locking instead
160 of flock() when locking the dumpdates file. With the old
161 locking scheme, a local user having read rights on the
162 dumpdates file could be able to do a Denial of Service attack
163 on dump. In order to lock the dumpdates file with the new
164 scheme, the user would need to have write access on the file.
165 Thanks to Richard Johnson <Richard.Johnson3@ey.com> for
166 reporting the bug (originally a bugtraq post).
167
168 2. Fixed interactive 'ls' which caused spurious errors warnings
169 about 'undefined filetypes' detected. Thanks to Jorgen Ostling
170 <jorgen_ostling@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this
171 bug.
172
173 3. Fixed dump's estimate when dealing with sparse inodes.
174
175 4. Modified dump to allow setting a blocksize bigger than 32kB
176 (raised the limit to 1024kB), because newer hardware needs
177 this for proper operation. Thanks to Dirk Traenapp
178 <dtraenapp@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this.
179
180 5. Fixed a bug causing Dump to stop and report an error if an
181 inode number in the exclude file was followed by some amount
182 of whitespace. Thanks to Jeffrey Sofferin
183 <sofferin@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this bug.
184
185 6. Fixed a bug which caused restore, in some particular cases,
186 to ask some 'scary' questions and leave a bunch of RSTTMP
187 directories behind when restoring incremental tapes. Thanks
188 to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for reporting this bug and
189 providing the test cases.
190
191 7. Changed the wording when inodes are excluded from dump:
192 replaced 'Added inode 7 to exclude list' with
193 'Excluding inode 7 (resize inode) from dump', as suggested
194 by Elliott Mitchell <ehem@m5p.com> in a Debian bug report.
195
196 Changes between versions 0.4b30 and 0.4b31 (released July 30, 2002)
197 ===================================================================
198
199 1. Fixed rmt open flags transmission (GNU's symbolic syntax over
200 rmt) which I broke in 0.4b29. Thanks to Eros Albertazzi
201 <eros@lamel.bo.cnr.it> for reporting the bug.
202
203 Changes between versions 0.4b29 and 0.4b30 (released July 25, 2002)
204 ===================================================================
205
206 1. Made dump print out the ext2 logical block number in case of a read
207 error, which can be given as an argument to debugfs' ncheck command,
208 in order to find out the affected inode. Added note about this
209 usage in dump's man page.
210
211 2. Fixed a problem in restore when reading tapes written on big
212 endian machines with very old versions of dump. The patch was
213 contributed by George Helffrich <george@geology.bristol.ac.uk>.
214
215 3. Fixed the tape length calculation when using large tapes
216 and compression. Thanks to Georg Lippold
217 <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.
218
219 4. Added a new set of examples in dump_on_cd_2 directory, based
220 on dump_on_cd examples but somewhat enhanced, supporting DVD
221 media, and localized in english and german. Thanks to
222 Georg Lippold <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for the new scripts.
223
224 5. Made dump save 32 bit UID/GID. Internally, this was achieved
225 by switching from the old BSD inode format to the new BSD
226 inode format, which means that the tape format was changed.
227 However, since all restore versions out there should
228 transparently support both inode formats, the change should
229 have no side effects. Thanks to John Yu <jky@cs.bu.edu> for
230 reporting the bug.
231
232 6. Fixed a lot of warnings in the code shown when compiling
233 with 'gcc -W'. Thanks to Matthias Andree
234 <matthias.andree@stud.uni-dortmund.de> for reporting this.
235
236 7. Fixed a small markup bug in the dump man page. Thanks to
237 Eric S. Raymond <esr@minx.thyrsus.com> for submitting the
238 patch.
239
240 8. Rewrote entirely the man pages using the tmac.an macro
241 package (Linux man page format) instead of the original BSD
242 format. They should be now cleaner and easier to modify.
243
244 Changes between versions 0.4b28 and 0.4b29 (released June 8, 2002)
245 ==================================================================
246
247 1. Fixed a problem in the rmt ioctl command, where ioctl's issued from
248 non Linux clients were misinterpreted. The description of the problem
249 (incompatible numbering in Linux mtio opcodes) is documented at
250 ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/star/README.mtio . Thanks to
251 Jörg Schilling <schilling@fokus.gmd.de> for reporting this bug and
252 providing an excellent, cross-platform replacement for rmt in his
253 star package.
254
255 2. Fixed a bug reported by Andy Mentges <amentges@jumpline.com>
256 which caused restore to fail when the inode maps were not entirely
257 contained on the first volume (when using really small volumes or
258 when dumping a huge number of inodes).
259
260 3. Fixed a problem in dump, where files in subdirectories of directories
261 that have the nodump flag set (or being excluded with -e/-E) were
262 sometimes incorrectly dumped (instead of being excluded). The original
263 fix is from David C Lawrence <tale@dd.org> in the FreeBSD version
264 of dump: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=32414
265 Thanks to Ted Grzesik <tedgyz@roostme.com> for reporting the bug and
266 help testing the patch.
267
268 4. Added some example scripts from Gerd Bavendiek <bav@epost.de>
269 which makes one able to pipe the output of dump, by the net, to
270 a remote CD-burner server.
271
272 5. Made dump use O_CREAT|O_TRUNC both locally and remotely (over rmt),
273 and use GNU's symbolic syntax over rmt instead of numerical values
274 to assure multiple platform compatibility.
275
276 6. Documented the -d option in restore.
277
278 7. Added a -v (verbose) mode to dump. For now it just prints the number
279 of the inode being dumped, but this could evolve in future versions
280 to include interesting debugging output.
281
282 8. Added a -o flag to restore, which automatically restores the current
283 directory permissions in -i or -x mode, without asking the operator
284 whether to do so. Patch submitted by Tony Clayton <tonyc@e-smith.com>
285 and Peter Samuel <peters@e-smith.com>.
286
287 Changes between versions 0.4b27 and 0.4b28 (released April 12, 2002)
288 ====================================================================
289
290 1. Fixed a bug in the QFA feature which could have caused
291 a bad tape positionning on restore (causing extra delays in
292 restore). Credits go to Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de>.
293
294 2. Added a small note in the dump man page specifying that
295 there should be no white space between the option letter and
296 the -j or -z parameter, thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com>
297
298 3. Made restore work with older versions of the readline library,
299 by checking in configure for several extended symbols. Restore
300 can now be compiled with a readline as old as the 2.0 release
301 (though it may be a good idea to upgrade it to a more recent
302 version...). Thanks to Andrew Donkin <ard@waikato.ac.nz> for
303 reporting the build failures.
304
305 4. Fixed a performance problem with the QFA file creation in
306 dump, which made unnecessary seeks on the tape slowing down
307 the dump. Thanks to Andrew Donkin <ard@waikato.ac.nz> for
308 reporting this issue.
309
310 5. Removed the inclusion of some kernel headers in the dump
311 source, which prevented the compile in some kernel/glibc
312 headers/architecture combination. Thanks to Bdale Garbee
313 <bdale@gag.com> for reporting the bug.
314
315 6. Added the appropriate error message when dump fails to
316 open the output file for writing. Thanks to Amith Varghese
317 <amithv@yahoo.com> for reporting this bug.
318
319 7. Made restore able to understand large Solaris ufsdump tapes
320 (containing inodes bigger than 4194304). Sun have introduced
321 an "extension" to the dump tape format when dealing with
322 those inodes, which was uncorrectly handled by Linux restore.
323 Thanks to Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de> for reporting the bug and
324 providing a test case.
325
326 8. Added the -m parameter to dump which optimises the output for
327 inodes having been changed but not modified since the last dump
328 ('changed' and 'modified' have the meaning defined in stat(2)).
329 For those inodes, dump will save only the metadata, instead of
330 saving the entire inode contents. Inodes which are either
331 directories or have been modified since the last dump are saved
332 in a regular way. Uses of this flag must be consistent, meaning
333 that either every dump in an incremental dump set have the flag,
334 or no one has it.
335
336 Changes between versions 0.4b26 and 0.4b27 (released February 15, 2002)
337 =======================================================================
338
339 1. Fixed behaviour of dump when exceeding resource limits
340 (SIGXFSZ treatment).
341
342 2. Added the -L flag to restore to allow the user to specify a
343 maximal allowed number of miscompares when using restore
344 with the -C option to check the backup.
345
346 3. Detailed the manual entry for the -N option of restore.
347
348 4. Added the -a flag to restore to make able doing unattended
349 restores in -i or -x mode (automatically walks through the
350 multiple dump volumes).
351
352 5. Extended the QFA mode to work with local files and/or
353 remote tapes and files. This way, restore can know in advance
354 the tape number and the offset for the inodes to extract and
355 can minimize the extraction time by seeking directly to the
356 good tape/offset.
357
358 6. Added the -A <archive> option to both dump and restore,
359 which makes dump to archive a dump table-of-contents in
360 the specified file to be used by restore to determine
361 whether a file is in the dump file that is being restored.
362 (the archive file syntax is also compatible with the
363 Solaris ufsdump generated one).
364
365 7. Small fix in restore making it able to read some (broken ?)
366 Solaris ufsdump tapes.
367
368 8. Fixed dump to correctly recognise the root filesystem when using
369 ext2 disk labels (LABEL=/). Thanks to John Yu <jky@it.bu.edu>
370 for reporting this bug.
371
372 9. Added the -P <file> option to restore to create a
373 Quick File Access file from an already made dump. Patch
374 contributed by Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de>.
375
376 10. Made restore compile and run on Solaris, making it a
377 possible replacement for the standard ufsrestore. Port was
378 contributed by Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de>.
379
380 Changes between versions 0.4b25 and 0.4b26 (released January 7, 2002)
381 =====================================================================
382
383 1. Added a set of backup scripts from Eugenio Diaz
384 <getnito@yahoo.com> in the examples section. It features
385 automatic (cron based) full and incremental dumping of
386 several filesystems on a separate filesystem.
387
388 2. Fixed a off-by-one miscalculation which disabled dumping
389 a one letter subdirectory. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
390 <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for reporting the bug.
391
392 3. Fixed several restore bugs occuring when trying to
393 restore some missing files on the tape. Thanks to Chris
394 Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for reporting the bug.
395
396 4. Fixed --with-ldopts configure argument passing, installing from
397 a separate object directory, makefile cleanups contributed
398 by <splite@purdue.edu>.
399
400 5. Fix a bug which could caused, in some conditions, the highest
401 number inode of a filesystem, to not be dumped. Many thanks
402 to Chris Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for helping me
403 chase this bug.
404
405 Changes between versions 0.4b24 and 0.4b25 (released November 17, 2001)
406 =======================================================================
407
408 1. Added a mini howto from Patrick Walsh in the examples
409 directory.
410
411 2. Minor man pages syntax corrections. Thanks to
412 Chris Danis <screechco@home.com> for reporting the bugs.
413
414 3. Added a script from David B. Peterson <dave@toppledwagon.com>
415 to the examples section. It features dumping several
416 filesystems to a remote tape drive upon ssh.
417
418 4. Added a patch provided by Richard Jones <rich@annexia.org>
419 which allows BRADEMAX (number of read errors tolerated by
420 dump) to be adjusted using the -I option.
421
422 5. Fixed a bug which disabled doing "restore -C -f -". Thanks
423 to Clemens Stiglechner <a9401816@unet.univie.ac.at> for the
424 patch.
425
426 6. Add the -l option to restore to specify if, when doing a
427 remote restore, the file used to access the backup is a
428 regular file (the defaults being a tape drive). Restore needs
429 to know this information when reading a remote compressed
430 dump. Previously, this information was autodetected, but
431 the autodetection code fails (with ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl
432 for device) when using a non Linux remote box. Thanks to
433 many users and especially to Eros Albertazzi
434 <eros@lamel.bo.cnr.it> for reporting this.
435
436 7. Found a workaroung for the dump deadlock problem (3 childs
437 stuck in pause(), father in read()). The workaround seems
438 to work for me and several beta-testers. If it doesn't work
439 for you, please report back.
440
441 8. Updated the RPM spec file (BuildPrereq, URL etc).
442
443 Changes between versions 0.4b23 and 0.4b24 (released September 12, 2001)
444 ========================================================================
445
446 1. Fixed the permissions of a newly created QFA file by dump.
447
448 2. Cleaned up the source of dump (the external variables
449 definition was a complete mess, making possible to have
450 objects overlap).
451
452 3. Fixed restore to use the full tape volume path when doing
453 a compare (since it changes the working directory to the
454 filesystem being compared in the process).
455
456 4. Added the -q option to dump which makes dump abort
457 whenever it needs operator attention. It should be
458 easier to use dump in scripts with this option.
459
460 5. Detect the use of incompatible options to dump and
461 refuse them (like -a and -B options together).
462
463 6. Added bzip2 compression to dump/restore (use option -j level
464 to select it). Note that you will need a restore version
465 >= 0.4b24 in order to restore a bzip2 compressed dump.
466 The same warning as for the zlib compression applies:
467 the tape format of a bzip2 dump is not compatible with the
468 original BSD tape format.
469
470 7. Fixed a overflow problem in dump corrupting the dump when
471 very large files were encountered. Thanks to Vladimir Nadvornik
472 for the bug report.
473
474 8. Added a ioctl(BLKFLSBUF) in dump which should flush the
475 kernel buffer/page cache before starting the dump, helping
476 a bit those who use dump on mounted filesystems. Thanks to
477 John Yu <jky@it.bu.edu> and to Theodore T'so <tytso@mit.edu>
478 for this suggestion.
479
480 9. Updated the RPM spec file following the RedHat changes
481 (dynamically linked binaries now in /usr/sbin etc).
482
483 10. Added a patch from Helmut Jarausch <jarausch@igpm.rwth-aachen.de>
484 which enables restore to recognise multi volume compressed dumps
485 done on CD. Included his scripts for dump (which pipe the dump
486 output directly into cdrecord) and restore. There is now
487 possible to to backups to CD on the fly!
488
489 Changes between versions 0.4b22 and 0.4b23 (released July 20, 2001)
490 ===================================================================
491
492 1. Fixed a buffer overflow in restore/tape.c. Patch provided by
493 Marcus Meissner (Caldera International Security Dept.).
494
495 2. Implement the Sun rmt extended protocol. Patch submitted
496 by Ian Gordon <iangordon@users.sourceforge.net>.
497
498 3. Check for the e2fsprogs header <ext2fs/ext2_fs.h> instead of
499 the linux kernel header. This ensures that dump always has the
500 latest version of this file. Patch submitted by
501 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>.
502
503 4. Report any filesystem present in either /etc/fstab with a
504 positive passno or /etc/dumpdates in dump -w output.
505 Patch submitted by Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>.
506
507 5. Fixed the looping problem in dump introduced in the
508 previous version.
509
510 6. Changed the -B option of dump to limit the size of
511 _compressed_ output per volume if compression is on.
512 Patch contributed by Helmut Jarausch
513 <jarausch@igpm.rwth-aachen.de>. Note however that, since
514 it is impossible to predict the size of the compressed
515 data before doing the compression, the -B limit is a bit
516 conservative.
517
518 7. Fixed a bug in reading the operator typed file/tape path for
519 the next volume in restore.
520
521 8. Implemented a "-F script" option to restore which permits the
522 user to specify a script which will be launched at the
523 beginning of each tape, useful for automatic programming of
524 tape changers for example. See the restore man page for the
525 script parameters and return codes.
526
527 9. Small fix for the QFA routines provided by Uwe Gohlke
528 <uwe@ugsoft.de>, and some recommendations for QFA uses in
529 the man pages.
530
531 10. Fixed the multivolume restoring where making a mistake
532 to the 'Mount next tape' prompt caused several blocks to
533 be lost.
534
535 11. Enhanced the -e option of dump to take as a parameter a
536 comma separated list of inode numbers.
537
538 12. Added the -E option to dump which specify a file containing
539 inode numbers to exclude from the dump.
540
541 13. Fixed the compressed multi-volume dump + restore.
542
543 Changes between versions 0.4b21 and 0.4b22 (released May 12, 2001)
544 ==================================================================
545
546 1. Made dump report the number of blocks dumped per volume.
547 Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
548
549 2. Fix a bug in dump where waiting too much at the 'change volumes'
550 question caused the volume to be rewritten. Thanks to
551 Graham Reed <greed@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the
552 bug and providing a patch.
553
554 3. Added a compression option to dump, contributed by Jerry
555 Peters <gapeters@worldnet.att.net>.
556
557 WARNING: the compression works only on files/pipes and
558 drives supporting variable block size.
559
560 WARNING2: tapes created using the compression feature are
561 incompatible with the standard dump tape format, and a
562 version of restore >= 0.4b22 will be needed for extraction.
563
564 4. Fixed some compilation problems for glibc 2.2.2 and 64 bit
565 architectures. Thanks to Paul Slootman <paul@debian.org> for
566 the patch and to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for forwarding
567 it upstream.
568
569 5. Many cleanups (CPP defines, const char warnings, check of
570 ext2fs COMPAT flags, time_t cleanups, added libext2 version
571 in dump usage text) by Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>.
572
573 6. Made --prefix option work in configure. All the install path
574 are now based on the configure parameters.
575
576 7. Added the Quick File Access mode in dump/restore, contributed
577 by Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de>. In this mode, dump stores in
578 a file tape position for each inode, and this file is used by
579 restore (if called with parameter Q and the filename)
580 to directly position the tape at the file restore is currently
581 working on. This saves hours when restoring single files from
582 large backups, saves the tapes and the drive's head. Use
583 --enable-qfa option of configure to compile in the QFA support.
584
585 8. Added the possibility to dump several files and directories
586 in a single invocation of dump. Thanks to Uwe Gohlke
587 <uwe@ugsoft.de> for implementing this option.
588
589 9. Fixed the dumping and restoring of files with holes
590 (files ending with holes didn't get dumped or restored
591 correctly).
592
593 10. Fixed a socket descriptor leak in dump, which leaved opened
594 3 file descriptors per dump process (and there is one dump
595 process per tape).
596
597 11. Fixed dump large file system support, by explicit use of
598 open64/lseek64/etc functions (explicit use needed because
599 e2fsprogs libraries don't behave well when compiled with
600 FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64).
601
602 Changes between versions 0.4b20 and 0.4b21 (released January 13, 2001)
603 ======================================================================
604
605 1. Fixed some bugs in the dump -w|-W logic introduced by
606 the previous version. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
607 <adilger@turbolinux.com> for his help on this one.
608
609 2. Fixed again a compilation problem when using old e2fs
610 headers (filesystem label related). Thanks to many users
611 who reported this stupid error.
612
613 3. Fixed a build problem on old lib5 based systems dealing with
614 _PATH_MNTTAB being undefined. Thanks to John Adams
615 <johna@onevista.com> for reporting the bug.
616
617 4. Improved the error detection in restore when creating
618 the temporary files in TMPDIR. Now restore will corectly
619 report a 'no space left on device' error instead of
620 strange errors which could imply an archive corruption.
621 Thanks to Gabriel Somlo <somlo@cs.colostate.edu> and
622 bgjenero <bgjenero@sympatico.ca> for reporting the bug.
623
624 5. Added the throughput information in dump's progression
625 messages. Thanks to Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
626 for the patch.
627
628 6. Use libext2fs's inode scanning routines, which are particularly
629 robust when dealing with errors (especially when having some
630 bad blocks on the filesystem). Many thanks to Colin
631 <colin@horizon.com> for reporting the bug, investigating
632 the issues, finding a workaround, writing the patch and
633 fully testing it... (of course, if this patch will break
634 anything, he is to blame for :-)).
635
636 7. Made dump and restore LFS aware. Dump can dump a filesystem
637 containing large files, generate a large file on output and
638 restore can restore them. This feature is not enabled by
639 default, use --enable-largefile option of configure to enable
640 it (you need to have a LFS aware glibc though). Thanks to
641 Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@suse.de> for submitting the patch,
642 and to Theodore T'so <tytso@valinux.com> for his always
643 useful thoughts.
644
645 8. Made dump ask upon a tape write error if it should rewrite
646 the current volume (assume this is a bad tape) or if it should
647 assume an end-of-tape condition (useful for tape drives which
648 behaves badly at the end of the tape). Thanks to Andreas
649 Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the suggestion.
650
651 Changes between versions 0.4b19 and 0.4b20 (released November 10, 2000)
652 =======================================================================
653
654 1. Fixed a small compilation problem due to a change
655 in the definintion of the struct sigaction in
656 glibc 2.0 / libc5. Thanks to Gunther Schlegel
657 <schlegel@riege.de> for reporting the bug and to
658 Dave Platt <dplatt@snulbug.mtview.ca.us> for suggesting
659 a fix.
660
661 2. Modified the label and uuid analysis in order to be
662 self-contained (independant of kernel/libc headers). This
663 should fix the compile with older kernel/libc headers and
664 will preserve the functionality. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann
665 <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de> for reporting the bug.
666
667 3. The 'exclude inode' option, if applied to a directory
668 inode, excludes now correctly all the leaves of this
669 directory. Thanks to John R. Dennison
670 <gerdesas@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.
671
672 4. Fixed the '-e' option to disable the possibility
673 to exclude the root inode (which causes the dumps to
674 be unreadable by restore). Prevented array overflow
675 when multiple -e options are used.
676
677 5. Fixed dump to correctly interpret a filesystem argument
678 which is a mountpoint and it is not an absolute path
679 (as specified in the fstab). Thanks to Bernhard R. Erdmann
680 <be@berdmann.de> for reporting the bug.
681
682 6. Made dump able to backup files larger than 2 GB. Note that
683 dump still doesn't cope with files larger than 4 GB.
684
685 7. Restore the real uid and gid before invoking an external
686 RSH program (big hole when dump or restore is suid root!).
687
688 8. Get the values for the default tape device and the location
689 of fstab file from the system headers. Thanks to
690 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
691
692 9. Made dump -w|-W report all recognized filesystems
693 present in either /etc/fstab or /etc/dumpdates, and present
694 the list in the same order as in fstab file. Thanks
695 to Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
696
697 10. Made dump's -a (automatic end of tape detection) the
698 default. Specifying one of -B, -c, -d or -s options will
699 override the EOM detection. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
700 <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
701
702 11. Save the ext2 filesystem label into the dump volume label.
703 Specifying a volume label on the command line (-L option)
704 will override this feature. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
705 <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
706
707 Changes between versions 0.4b18 and 0.4b19 (released August 20, 2000)
708 =====================================================================
709
710 1. Fixed the signal handling in dump (which I broke in 0.4b17)
711 which was causing several strange dump failures (dump
712 hanged or segmentation faults etc).
713
714 2. Specified the default blocksize in the dump man page.
715
716 3. Changed two info messages of restore to be written on stdout
717 instead of stderr in order to leave stderr only for errors
718 or warnings. Thanks to Stephen Atwell
719 <satwell@urbana.css.mot.com> for the suggestion.
720
721 4. Corrected an off by one calculation which prevented
722 dumping a directory having a 1 character name length.
723 Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de>
724 for reporting the bug.
725
726 5. Reinforce dump in order to allow only level 0 and no
727 -u option when dumping a subdirectory, and document
728 this in the man page. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann
729 <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de> for reporting the bug.
730
731 6. Fixed a small harmless bug in restore which caused
732 in some conditions hard links to be restored several
733 times (therefore generation some warning messages).
734 Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com> for
735 reporting the bug.
736
737 7. Updated the RPM spec file to the latest RedHat version,
738 providing FHS packaging and other cosmetic changes.
739 You will need RPM version >= 3.0.5 in order to build the RPM.
740
741 8. Updated the configure script to check for libtermcap
742 before checking for libreadline, because we need this
743 library in order to compile the readline support.
744
745 9. Made dump understand the LABEL= and UUID= notation
746 both in /etc/fstab and on the command line. Note that
747 you will need the /proc filesystem in order to use
748 these notations. Thanks to Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com>
749 for providing the patch.
750
751 Changes between versions 0.4b17 and 0.4b18 (released June 30, 2000)
752 ===================================================================
753
754 1. Fixed a potential buffer overflow in restore. Thanks
755 to Stan Bubrouski <satan@fastdial.net> for reporting
756 the bug.
757
758 2. Fixed a readline-related bug which prevented
759 'cat DUMPFILE | restore -i -f -' from working. Thanks
760 to Charles Karney <karney@users.sourceforge.net>
761 for the bug report.
762
763 3. Changed a few "panic" into "exit", causing restore to
764 be more stable against some attacks (like the last one
765 reported on Bugtraq, although the last version of restore
766 was not vulnerable - just dumped core). Thanks to
767 Andreas Hasenack <andreas@conectiva.com.br> for reporting
768 the bugs to me.
769
770 4. Removed the suid-root bit on dump and restore in the
771 default build (and generated RPMs). It should be safer
772 now. Users who need the suid-root capabilities in order
773 to make network backups should read first the man page
774 of dump and enable the suid bit manually.
775
776 5. Added -ltermcap to the compile parameters for restore
777 when using readline support, in order to make the compile
778 process work on some systems (SuSE ?). Thanks to
779 Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for reporting the bug.
780
781 Changes between versions 0.4b16 and 0.4b17 (released June 1st, 2000)
782 ====================================================================
783
784 1. The -F script is called now *only* at the end of a tape,
785 not at the end of the dump. Thanks to Christian Haul
786 <haul@informatik.tu-darmstadt.de> for the bug report.
787
788 Normally, the device name and the current volume number
789 are passed on the command line of the script. However,
790 if you want the old style script (with no arguments
791 passed on the command line), you can enable it in
792 configure with the --enable-oldstylefscript.
793
794 2. Use posix signal handling to preserve dump functionality
795 with libc5. Thanks to Jeff Johnson <jbj@redhat.com> for
796 the patch.
797
798 3. Made the exit code of restore in case of a 'C'ompare
799 command reflect the result of the compare. An exit status
800 of 0 means the dump archive is correct, 1 means tape errors,
801 2 means that some files were modified. Thanks to Kenneth Porter
802 <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
803
804 4. Made (finally) quotes work in interactive restore.
805
806 5. Small fixes in order to allow dump to compile with a
807 really old e2fsprogs version. Thanks to Ian Zimmerman
808 <itz@speakeasy.org> for the bug report.
809
810 6. Add GNU readline capabilities to interactive restore.
811 Use configure's --enable-readline flag to enable this feature.
812 Thanks to Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for the
813 suggestion.
814
815 7. Do the compare on the fly in restore 'C' mode (this will
816 allow not to exhaust the available /tmp space when
817 ccmparing large files). Thanks to Kenneth Porter
818 <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
819
820 Changes between versions 0.4b15 and 0.4b16 (released March 11, 2000)
821 ====================================================================
822
823 1. Fixed some several duplicate 'DUMP: DUMP:' in the
824 output of dump.
825
826 2. Corrected the estimation of blocks to dump. Note that
827 this is still wrong for large directory inodes, due
828 to the size of a BSD directory entry on the tape
829 (estimation is based on the size of the ext2 directory,
830 which is smaller because it doesn't contain the null
831 character at the end).
832
833 3. Made dump report the total number of MB written to
834 tape at the end of run. Thanks to W. Reilly Cooley
835 <wcooley@nakedape.cc> for the patch.
836
837 4. Added the -X option to restore giving the possibility
838 to read the names of the files to be extracted/listed
839 from a text file (in addition of the command line).
840 Thanks to Dejan Muhamedagic <dejan@quant-x.com> for the
841 patch.
842
843 5. Added the device name and the current volume number
844 as arguments to the end of tape script (dump -F option).
845
846 6. Made the multi-volume dump work again (after having
847 broken it in 0.4b15).
848
849 Changes between versions 0.4b14 and 0.4b15 (released March 2, 2000)
850 ===================================================================
851
852 1. Added a prompt command in interactive restore mode. Thanks
853 to Andreas Dilger <adilger@home.com> for the patch.
854
855 2. Fixed a buffer overflow problem in dump (caused by
856 not checking the size of the filesystem parameter).
857 Thanks to Kim Yong-jun <loveyou@hackerslab.org> for
858 reporting this on Bugtraq (and to several dump users
859 who forwarded me his mail).
860
861 3. Added the '-F script' option to dump in order to
862 launch a script at the end of each tape (to be used
863 with a tape changer, or to notify the sysadmin by
864 pager etc.).
865
866 4. Fixed a bug in restore compare code caused by the changes
867 I made in 0.4b14.
868
869 5. Fixed the treatment of options using the old BSD syntax
870 in both dump and restore.
871
872 Changes between versions 0.4b13 and 0.4b14 (released February 10, 2000)
873 =======================================================================
874
875 1. Fixed a bug in dump which may have caused invalid deleted
876 directories to be dumped out if they were deleted after the
877 mapping pass. This could occure on active filesystem and lead
878 to heap corruption (causing dump malfunction in many possible ways).
879 Thanks to Jan Sanislo <oystr@cs.washington.edu> for finding this
880 bug and submitting the patch.
881
882 2. Fixed the handling of the filesystem parameter in dump. A
883 '/mnt/disk' parameter caused the disk contents to be dumped,
884 but a '/mnt/disk/' parameter caused the mountpoint directory
885 to be dumped (generally an empty directory).
886
887 3. Improved the output of dump in order to tell which directory
888 it is currently dumping (when dumping a subtree).
889
890 4. Added the '-e' exclude inode option to dump. Thanks to
891 Isaac Chuang <ike@isl.stanford.edu> for contributing with the patch.
892
893 5. Added a REPORTING-BUGS file in order to provide a guide
894 on how to correctly report a bug in dump/restore.
895
896 6. Fixed a restore problem when restoring a hard link to an inode
897 having the immutable or append-only attribute set. Thanks to
898 Ambrose Li <acli@mingpaoxpress.com> for submitting the patch.
899
900 7. Fixed a compatibility problem between dumps made on little
901 endian machines (the format was correct) and big endian
902 machines (the format was incorrect). This fix break the
903 compatibility with the older dumps made on big endian
904 machines (sparc, m86k, ppc etc). For the first time in
905 linux dump's history (I believe), the dumps made by *BSD,
906 Linux/alpha, Linux/sparc and Linux/x86 are compatible,
907 so interchangeable. Thanks to Rob Cermak
908 <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu> for submitting the bug and
909 helping me test the fix.
910
911 8. Fixed the way dump reports the remaining percent/time, if
912 the number of blocks actually dumped exceeds the estimated
913 number of blocks. Thanks to Jean-Paul van der Jagt
914 <jeanpaul@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl> for reporting the bug.
915
916 Changes between versions 0.4b12 and 0.4b13 (released January 21, 2000)
917 ======================================================================
918
919 1. Small Y2K fix in the man pages :). Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski
920 <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug.
921
922 2. Removed the requirement to build the RPM as root from the
923 spec file. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber
924 <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for submitting this.
925
926 3. Fixed a bug in dump related to the 'filetype' feature of ext2fs,
927 causing dump to block when dumping really huge filesystems.
928 Many thanks to Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for
929 helping me find this bug.
930
931 4. Fixed the treatment for an interrupt signal when dump access
932 the remote tape through RSH. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber
933 <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for providing the patch.
934
935 5. Fixed a bug which was causing dump/restore to display
936 garbage characters instead of the remote host name.
937
938 Changes between versions 0.4b11 and 0.4b12 (released January 8, 2000)
939 =====================================================================
940
941 1. Small fix in the dump man page. Thanks to Thorsten Kukuk
942 <kukuk@suse.de> for submitting the patch.
943
944 2. Fix for the exit code when using the size estimate option of
945 dump. Thanks to Matti Taskinen <mkt@rni.helsinki.fi> for
946 submitting the patch.
947
948 3. Handle EINTR in atomical reads/writes in dump, which was causing
949 dump to fail on some systems. Thanks to Eric Jergensen
950 <eric@dvns.com> for reporting the bug and submitting the patch.
951
952 4. Handle more than 16 characters for the device names in dumpdates.
953 (up to 255 now). Thanks to Rainer Clasen <bj@ncc.cicely.de> for
954 tracking down the problem and proposing the solution.
955
956 5. Fixed a bug in dump which prevented the creation of the
957 dumpdates file when doing a 0-level dump without already
958 having a dumpdates file. Thanks to Patrik Schindler
959 <poc@pocnet.net> for reporting the bug.
960
961 6. Changed the way dump 'S' flag reports the size estimate
962 from number of blocks into bytes (making it compatible
963 with the Solaris version, and simplifying things for
964 amanda users). Thanks to Jason L Tibbitts III
965 <tibbs@math.uh.edu> for reporting the bug.
966
967 7. Fixed a compatibility problem in linux/alpha dump tape format.
968 Now the linux/alpha dump are (again) compatible with the
969 other dump formats. But this breaks compatibility with
970 older dumps made on alpha. Thanks to Mike Tibor
971 <tibor@lib.uaa.alaska.edu> for helping me in finding this bug.
972
973 Changes between versions 0.4b10 and 0.4b11 (released December 5, 1999)
974 ======================================================================
975
976 1. Added a '--enable-kerberos' to configure.
977
978 2. Added a 'S' option to dump which determines the amount of space
979 that is needed to perform the dump without actually doing it, similar
980 to the Sun's ufsdump 'S' option. Patch contributed by Rob Cermak
981 <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu>.
982
983 3. Added a 'M' multi-volume option to dump and restore which enables
984 dumping to multiple files (useful when dumping to an ext2
985 partition to make several dump files in order to bypass the 2GB
986 file size limitation). The 'f' argument is treated as a prefix and
987 the output files will be named <prefix>001, <prefix>002 etc. With
988 the 'M' flag, restore automatically selects the right file without
989 asking to enter a new tape each time.

991 4. Fixed a memory leak which was causing dump to grow very big
992 (270MB when dumping a 10GB filesystem...). Thanks to Jason
993 Fearon <jasonf@netrider.org.au> for reporting the bug.
994
995 Changes between versions 0.4b9 and 0.4b10 (released November 21, 1999)
996 ======================================================================
997
998 1. Make configure test if the system glob routines support
999 extended syntax (ALTDIRFUNC). If not, use the internal glob
1000 routines instead of system ones. Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski
1001 <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug
1002 and helping me resolve this and other minor libc5 compiling
1003 glitches.
1004
1005 2. Fix a problem when dumping a ext2fs with the 'filetype'
1006 feature enabled. Thanks to Patrick J. LoPresti
1007 <patl@cag.lcs.mit.edu> for reporting the bug and to
1008 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> for providing the patch.
1009
1010 3. Made the nodump flag work on directories. A directory which
1011 has the nodump flag gets never dumped, regardless of its
1012 contents.
1013
1014 4. Integrate a patch from Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
1015 which allows dump on an active ext3 filesystem. However, this
1016 is a "quick and dirty" patch which enables backup of an ext3
1017 filesystem through the ext2 compatibility (by ignoring the
1018 NEEDS_RECOVERY bit). The journal file is not recognized and
1019 it is dumped (it should not).
1020
1021 5. Test the superblock compatibility flags when dumping, in order
1022 to be sure that we know how to deal with specific features.
1023
1024 Changes between versions 0.4b8 and 0.4b9 (released November 5, 1999)
1025 ====================================================================
1026
1027 1. Use lchown instead of chown, fixing a possible security problem
1028 when restoring symlinks (a malicious user could use this
1029 to deliberately corrupt the ownership of important system files).
1030 Thanks to Chris Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for detecting
1031 this and providing the patch.
1032
1033 Changes between versions 0.4b7 and 0.4b8 (released November 3, 1999)
1034 ====================================================================
1035
1036 1. Put dump sources under CVS, added Id tags in all files so
1037 one can use 'ident' on binary files.
1038
1039 2. Added the dump/restore version in the usage text so one can
1040 easily verify the version he is using.
1041
1042 3. Small patch from Nuno Oliveira <nuno@eq.uc.pt> which fixes
1043 a va_start/va_end problem on linux-ppc (always call va_start
1044 va_end in pairs each time we use a vararg function).
1045
1046 4. Added again the DT_* constants because old libc does not
1047 contain them :(. Thanks to Eric Maisonobe <virnet@nat.fr>
1048 for submitting the bug report.
1049
1050 5. Use ext2fs_llseek instead of llseek. With recent e2fsprogs
1051 this should enable dumping big (huge) filesystems.
1052
1053 6. Added the RSH environment variable in order to be able to
1054 use a rsh replacement like ssh when doing remote backups (and
1055 bypass the security limitations of rcmd). Now you can do remote
1056 backups without being root (or making dump setuid root).
1057
1058 7. Modified again the way dumpdates works. For incremental dumps,
1059 we need to read dumpdates even if we are not using 'u' option.
1060 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for his ideas on how
1061 this should work.
1062
1063 Changes between versions 0.4b6 and 0.4b7 (released October 8, 1999)
1064 ===================================================================
1065
1066 1. Removed the 'k' flag from the restore 'about' text if kerberos
1067 was not compiled in.
1068
1069 2. Prototyped (f)setflags from e2fsprogs and corrected the calls
1070 to them (fsetflags takes a char*, setflags an open fd!).
1071
1072 3. (f)setflags is called only if the flags aren't empty. If the
1073 file is a special file, a warning is printed, because changing
1074 flags implies opening the device. Normally, a special file
1075 should not have any flag... (Debian bug #29775, patch provided
1076 by Abhijit Dasgupta <abhijit@ans.net>).
1077
1078 4. Made possible to dump a file system not mentioned in /etc/fstab.
1079 (Debian bug #11904, patch provided by Eirik Fuller <eirik@netcom.com>).
1080
1081 5. Changed the default behaviour to not create dumpdates
1082 unless 'u' option is specified. Removed the old "debian-patch"
1083 which provided the same thing. (Debian bug #38136, #33818).
1084
1085 6. Removed all those dump*announce, since they were getting old...
1086
1087 7. Added warning messages if dumpdates does not exist and
1088 when an inferior level dump does not exist (except for a level 0
1089 dump).
1090
1091 8. Debugged the glob calls in interactive mode: restore used a
1092 dirent struct which was different from the /usr/include/dirent.h
1093 one (this used to work, is it a glibc2 change?), so none of the
1094 compat glob (which used /usr/include/dirent.h) or the system glob
1095 worked. Restore use now the system dirent (and the system
1096 DT_* constants), which are compatible with BSD ones.
1097
1098 9. Added a configure flag (--with-dumpdatespath) to specify
1099 the location of dumpdates file. By default, it is
1100 /etc/dumpdates.
1101
1102 10. Added the "AUTHOR" and "AVAILABILITY" sections and
1103 included the current date/version in man pages.
1104
1105 11. Corrected the estimation of remaining time when
1106 the operator doesn't change the tapes quickly enough. This
1107 was an old bug, I thought I corrected it, and discovered
1108 that in fact it was corrected in two different places, so
1109 the results canceled each other...
1110
1111 Changes between versions 0.4b5 and 0.4b6 (released October 1, 1999)
1112 ===================================================================
1113
1114 1. Integrated multiple patches from RedHat, Debian and SuSE:
1115
1116 - tweak dump/itime.c to not try to read dumpdates if the 'u' option
1117 isn't specified.
1118 - several fixes in the man pages.
1119 - update the default tape device to /dev/st0.
1120 - many updates for Linux Alpha (byte ordering, size_t etc).
1121 - buffer overruns.
1122 - use environment variable for TMPDIR (instead of /tmp).
1123 - use sigjmp_buf instead of jmp_buf (RedHat bug #3260).
1124 - workaround egcs bug (RedHat bugs #4281 and #2989).
1125 - wire $(OPT) throughout Makefile's.
1126
1127 2. Upgrade the dump revision to 1, making possible to dump filesystems
1128 made with e2fsprogs-1.15 or newer. Nothing seems to break...
1129
1130 3. Fix some compile warnings, prototype all functions.
1131
1132 4. Use glibc err/glob instead of internal compatibility
1133 routines (only if available).
1134
1135 5. Fix a compile error on Linux 2.2.7 / libc5 (5.4.44) (patch provided
1136 by Bernhard Sadlowski <sadlowsk@mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de>).
1137
1138 Changes between versions 0.4b4 and 0.4b5 (released September 22, 1999)
1139 ======================================================================
1140
1141 1. Integrated the changes from FreeBSD-3.1-RELEASE
1142 (mostly bug fixes, buffer overruns, dump has now an "automatic
1143 tape length calculation" flag, dump/restore can use kerberos now
1144 (this is NOT tested), use environment variables for TAPE and
1145 RMT etc.).
1146
1147 2. Integrated three RedHat patches ("glibc", "kernel" and "bread" patches)
1148
1149 3. Corrected a bug in restore when using 'C' option with multi-volumes
1150 tapes (files splited accros two tapes give "size changed" errors
1151 when comparing).
1152
1153 4. Corrected the long standing bug when dumping multiple tapes.
1154 This works for me, needs further testing.
1155
1156 Changes between versions 0.4b3 and 0.4b4 (released January 17, 1997)
1157 ====================================================================
1158
1159 1. Dump now runs correctly on kernels 2.1.x
1160 Fix made by Gerald Peters <gapeters@worldnet.att.net>
1161
1162 Changes between versions 0.4b2 and 0.4b3
1163 ========================================
1164
1165 1. Use realpath() if available
1166
1167 2. Report statistics
1168
1169 Changes between versions 0.4b1 and 0.4b2
1170 ========================================
1171
1172 1. Fixed the bug fix from Greg Lutz (I had made a mistake when integrating
1173 the patch)
1174
1175 2. Fixed restore to make it able to read FreeBSD 2.x dumps again
1176
1177 3. Fixed configure.in to correctly handle --enable-rmt
1178
1179 Changes between versions 0.3 and 0.4b1
1180 ======================================
1181
1182 1. Integrated the changes from 4.4BSD-Lite2
1183
1184 2. Integrated the patches from Debian and Red Hat
1185
1186 3. Portability changes: use the __u32, __u16, __s32, and __s16 types
1187
1188 4. Changed dump to use the Ext2fs library to get block addresses. This
1189 should solve the endianness problem on SparcLinux.
1190
1191 5. Created a configure.in file (shamelessly stolen from the e2fsprogs
1192 distribution's one) to use autoconf
1193
1194 6. Fixed a few minor bugs
1195
1196 Changes between versions 0.2e and 0.2f
1197 ======================================
1198
1199 1. Added the creation of named pipes (fifos) in restore.
1200
1201 2. Added the -N flag in the restore manual page.
1202
1203 3. Added the file kernel.patch which contains the llseek() optimization
1204 patch for 1.2.x kernels.
1205
1206 4. Fixed a bug in the restoration of symbolic links: owner and group were
1207 not restored.
1208
1209 5. Integrated some changes from FreeBSD 2.2.
1210
1211 6. Added a call to ftruncate() after restoring each file to restore
1212 correctly files ending by a hole.
1213
1214 Changes between versions 0.2d and 0.2e
1215 ======================================
1216
1217 1. Fixed a bug in the "set owner/mode" process. Every file was restored
1218 with owner = root (0) and group = root/wheel/whatever (0).
1219
1220 Changes between versions 0.2c and 0.2d
1221 ======================================
1222
1223 1. Dump is now able to backup 2GB+ filesystems.
1224
1225 2. Dump and restore can now be linked as static binaries.
1226
1227 Changes between versions 0.2b and 0.2c
1228 ======================================
1229
1230 1. Fixed a bug when dumping ``slow'' (i.e. normal) symbolic links.
1231
1232 Changes between versions 0.2a and 0.2b
1233 ======================================
1234
1235 1. Really fixed the bug that I should have corrected in 0.2a.
1236
1237 2. Enabled optimization again.
1238
1239 Changes between versions 0.2 and 0.2a
1240 =====================================
1241
1242 1. Disabled the optimization during compilation.
1243
1244 Changes between versions 0.1 and 0.2
1245 ====================================
1246
1247 1. Fixed a bug in fstab.c which caused a null pointer to be stored in
1248 the fs_type field (actually, I modified the file fstab.c to make it
1249 use the mntent functions).
1250
1251 2. Dump and restore now use a 4.3 BSD compatible dump format. Backups
1252 made by dump should be readable by the BSD restore and backups made
1253 by the BSD dump should be readable by restore. Unfortunately, this
1254 means that the dump format has changed between version 0.1 and version
1255 0.2 :-(
1256
1257 3. Dump is now able to backup a subtree, it is no longer limited to whole
1258 filesystems like the BSD version.
1259
1260 4. Dump now uses ext2_llseek() so it is able to backup filesystems bigger
1261 than 2 GB.
1262
1263 Changes between versions 0.0 and 0.1
1264 ====================================
1265
1266 1. Now create links rdump and rrestore during the `make install' step.
1267
1268 2. Linux port specific bugs added to the manual pages
1269
1270 3. Incorrect estimation of the number of tapes blocks fixed when doing
1271 incremental backups.
1272
1273 4. Better ls-like format in restore in interactive mode.
