3 Changes between versions 0.4b20 and 0.4b21 (released ?????????????????)
4 =======================================================================
6 1. Fixed some bugs in the dump -w|-W logic introduced by
7 the previous version. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
8 <adilger@turbolinux.com> for his help on this one.
10 2. Fixed again a compilation problem when using old e2fs
11 headers (filesystem label related). Thanks to many users
12 who reported this stupid error.
14 3. Fixed a build problem on old lib5 based systems dealing with
15 _PATH_MNTTAB being undefined. Thanks to John Adams
16 <johna@onevista.com> for reporting the bug.
18 4. Improved the error detection in restore when creating
19 the temporary files in TMPDIR. Now restore will corectly
20 report a 'no space left on device' error instead of
21 strange errors which could imply an archive corruption.
22 Thanks to Gabriel Somlo <somlo@cs.colostate.edu> and
23 bgjenero <bgjenero@sympatico.ca> for reporting the bug.
25 5. Added the throughput information in dump's progression
26 messages. Thanks to Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
29 6. Use libext2fs's inode scanning routines, which are particularly
30 robust when dealing with errors (especially when having some
31 bad blocks on the filesystem). Many thanks to Colin
32 <colin@horizon.com> for reporting the bug, investigating
33 the issues, finding a workaround, writing the patch and
34 fully testing it... (of course, if this patch will break
35 anything, he is to blame for :-)).
37 Changes between versions 0.4b19 and 0.4b20 (released November 10, 2000)
38 =======================================================================
40 1. Fixed a small compilation problem due to a change
41 in the definintion of the struct sigaction in
42 glibc 2.0 / libc5. Thanks to Gunther Schlegel
43 <schlegel@riege.de> for reporting the bug and to
44 Dave Platt <dplatt@snulbug.mtview.ca.us> for suggesting
47 2. Modified the label and uuid analysis in order to be
48 self-contained (independant of kernel/libc headers). This
49 should fix the compile with older kernel/libc headers and
50 will preserve the functionality. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann
51 <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de> for reporting the bug.
53 3. The 'exclude inode' option, if applied to a directory
54 inode, excludes now correctly all the leaves of this
55 directory. Thanks to John R. Dennison
56 <gerdesas@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.
58 4. Fixed the '-e' option to disable the possibility
59 to exclude the root inode (which causes the dumps to
60 be unreadable by restore). Prevented array overflow
61 when multiple -e options are used.
63 5. Fixed dump to correctly interpret a filesystem argument
64 which is a mountpoint and it is not an absolute path
65 (as specified in the fstab). Thanks to Bernhard R. Erdmann
66 <be@berdmann.de> for reporting the bug.
68 6. Made dump able to backup files larger than 2 GB. Note that
69 dump still doesn't cope with files larger than 4 GB.
71 7. Restore the real uid and gid before invoking an external
72 RSH program (big hole when dump or restore is suid root!).
74 8. Get the values for the default tape device and the location
75 of fstab file from the system headers. Thanks to
76 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
78 9. Made dump -w|-W report all recognized filesystems
79 present in either /etc/fstab or /etc/dumpdates, and present
80 the list in the same order as in fstab file. Thanks
81 to Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
83 10. Made dump's -a (automatic end of tape detection) the
84 default. Specifying one of -B, -c, -d or -s options will
85 override the EOM detection. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
86 <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
88 11. Save the ext2 filesystem label into the dump volume label.
89 Specifying a volume label on the command line (-L option)
90 will override this feature. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
91 <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
93 Changes between versions 0.4b18 and 0.4b19 (released August 20, 2000)
94 =====================================================================
96 1. Fixed the signal handling in dump (which I broke in 0.4b17)
97 which was causing several strange dump failures (dump
98 hanged or segmentation faults etc).
100 2. Specified the default blocksize in the dump man page.
102 3. Changed two info messages of restore to be written on stdout
103 instead of stderr in order to leave stderr only for errors
104 or warnings. Thanks to Stephen Atwell
105 <satwell@urbana.css.mot.com> for the suggestion.
107 4. Corrected an off by one calculation which prevented
108 dumping a directory having a 1 character name length.
109 Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de>
110 for reporting the bug.
112 5. Reinforce dump in order to allow only level 0 and no
113 -u option when dumping a subdirectory, and document
114 this in the man page. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann
115 <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de> for reporting the bug.
117 6. Fixed a small harmless bug in restore which caused
118 in some conditions hard links to be restored several
119 times (therefore generation some warning messages).
120 Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com> for
123 7. Updated the RPM spec file to the latest RedHat version,
124 providing FHS packaging and other cosmetic changes.
125 You will need RPM version >= 3.0.5 in order to build the RPM.
127 8. Updated the configure script to check for libtermcap
128 before checking for libreadline, because we need this
129 library in order to compile the readline support.
131 9. Made dump understand the LABEL= and UUID= notation
132 both in /etc/fstab and on the command line. Note that
133 you will need the /proc filesystem in order to use
134 these notations. Thanks to Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com>
135 for providing the patch.
137 Changes between versions 0.4b17 and 0.4b18 (released June 30, 2000)
138 ===================================================================
140 1. Fixed a potential buffer overflow in restore. Thanks
141 to Stan Bubrouski <satan@fastdial.net> for reporting
144 2. Fixed a readline-related bug which prevented
145 'cat DUMPFILE | restore -i -f -' from working. Thanks
146 to Charles Karney <karney@users.sourceforge.net>
149 3. Changed a few "panic" into "exit", causing restore to
150 be more stable against some attacks (like the last one
151 reported on Bugtraq, although the last version of restore
152 was not vulnerable - just dumped core). Thanks to
153 Andreas Hasenack <andreas@conectiva.com.br> for reporting
156 4. Removed the suid-root bit on dump and restore in the
157 default build (and generated RPMs). It should be safer
158 now. Users who need the suid-root capabilities in order
159 to make network backups should read first the man page
160 of dump and enable the suid bit manually.
162 5. Added -ltermcap to the compile parameters for restore
163 when using readline support, in order to make the compile
164 process work on some systems (SuSE ?). Thanks to
165 Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for reporting the bug.
167 Changes between versions 0.4b16 and 0.4b17 (released June 1st, 2000)
168 ====================================================================
170 1. The -F script is called now *only* at the end of a tape,
171 not at the end of the dump. Thanks to Christian Haul
172 <haul@informatik.tu-darmstadt.de> for the bug report.
174 Normally, the device name and the current volume number
175 are passed on the command line of the script. However,
176 if you want the old style script (with no arguments
177 passed on the command line), you can enable it in
178 configure with the --enable-oldstylefscript.
180 2. Use posix signal handling to preserve dump functionality
181 with libc5. Thanks to Jeff Johnson <jbj@redhat.com> for
184 3. Made the exit code of restore in case of a 'C'ompare
185 command reflect the result of the compare. An exit status
186 of 0 means the dump archive is correct, 1 means tape errors,
187 2 means that some files were modified. Thanks to Kenneth Porter
188 <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
190 4. Made (finally) quotes work in interactive restore.
192 5. Small fixes in order to allow dump to compile with a
193 really old e2fsprogs version. Thanks to Ian Zimmerman
194 <itz@speakeasy.org> for the bug report.
196 6. Add GNU readline capabilities to interactive restore.
197 Use configure's --enable-readline flag to enable this feature.
198 Thanks to Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for the
201 7. Do the compare on the fly in restore 'C' mode (this will
202 allow not to exhaust the available /tmp space when
203 ccmparing large files). Thanks to Kenneth Porter
204 <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
206 Changes between versions 0.4b15 and 0.4b16 (released March 11, 2000)
207 ====================================================================
209 1. Fixed some several duplicate 'DUMP: DUMP:' in the
212 2. Corrected the estimation of blocks to dump. Note that
213 this is still wrong for large directory inodes, due
214 to the size of a BSD directory entry on the tape
215 (estimation is based on the size of the ext2 directory,
216 which is smaller because it doesn't contain the null
217 character at the end).
219 3. Made dump report the total number of MB written to
220 tape at the end of run. Thanks to W. Reilly Cooley
221 <wcooley@nakedape.cc> for the patch.
223 4. Added the -X option to restore giving the possibility
224 to read the names of the files to be extracted/listed
225 from a text file (in addition of the command line).
226 Thanks to Dejan Muhamedagic <dejan@quant-x.com> for the
229 5. Added the device name and the current volume number
230 as arguments to the end of tape script (dump -F option).
232 6. Made the multi-volume dump work again (after having
233 broken it in 0.4b15).
235 Changes between versions 0.4b14 and 0.4b15 (released March 2, 2000)
236 ===================================================================
238 1. Added a prompt command in interactive restore mode. Thanks
239 to Andreas Dilger <adilger@home.com> for the patch.
241 2. Fixed a buffer overflow problem in dump (caused by
242 not checking the size of the filesystem parameter).
243 Thanks to Kim Yong-jun <loveyou@hackerslab.org> for
244 reporting this on Bugtraq (and to several dump users
245 who forwarded me his mail).
247 3. Added the '-F script' option to dump in order to
248 launch a script at the end of each tape (to be used
249 with a tape changer, or to notify the sysadmin by
252 4. Fixed a bug in restore compare code caused by the changes
255 5. Fixed the treatment of options using the old BSD syntax
256 in both dump and restore.
258 Changes between versions 0.4b13 and 0.4b14 (released February 10, 2000)
259 =======================================================================
261 1. Fixed a bug in dump which may have caused invalid deleted
262 directories to be dumped out if they were deleted after the
263 mapping pass. This could occure on active filesystem and lead
264 to heap corruption (causing dump malfunction in many possible ways).
265 Thanks to Jan Sanislo <oystr@cs.washington.edu> for finding this
266 bug and submitting the patch.
268 2. Fixed the handling of the filesystem parameter in dump. A
269 '/mnt/disk' parameter caused the disk contents to be dumped,
270 but a '/mnt/disk/' parameter caused the mountpoint directory
271 to be dumped (generally an empty directory).
273 3. Improved the output of dump in order to tell which directory
274 it is currently dumping (when dumping a subtree).
276 4. Added the '-e' exclude inode option to dump. Thanks to
277 Isaac Chuang <ike@isl.stanford.edu> for contributing with the patch.
279 5. Added a REPORTING-BUGS file in order to provide a guide
280 on how to correctly report a bug in dump/restore.
282 6. Fixed a restore problem when restoring a hard link to an inode
283 having the immutable or append-only attribute set. Thanks to
284 Ambrose Li <acli@mingpaoxpress.com> for submitting the patch.
286 7. Fixed a compatibility problem between dumps made on little
287 endian machines (the format was correct) and big endian
288 machines (the format was incorrect). This fix break the
289 compatibility with the older dumps made on big endian
290 machines (sparc, m86k, ppc etc). For the first time in
291 linux dump's history (I believe), the dumps made by *BSD,
292 Linux/alpha, Linux/sparc and Linux/x86 are compatible,
293 so interchangeable. Thanks to Rob Cermak
294 <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu> for submitting the bug and
295 helping me test the fix.
297 8. Fixed the way dump reports the remaining percent/time, if
298 the number of blocks actually dumped exceeds the estimated
299 number of blocks. Thanks to Jean-Paul van der Jagt
300 <jeanpaul@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl> for reporting the bug.
302 Changes between versions 0.4b12 and 0.4b13 (released January 21, 2000)
303 ======================================================================
305 1. Small Y2K fix in the man pages :). Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski
306 <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug.
308 2. Removed the requirement to build the RPM as root from the
309 spec file. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber
310 <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for submitting this.
312 3. Fixed a bug in dump related to the 'filetype' feature of ext2fs,
313 causing dump to block when dumping really huge filesystems.
314 Many thanks to Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for
315 helping me find this bug.
317 4. Fixed the treatment for an interrupt signal when dump access
318 the remote tape through RSH. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber
319 <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for providing the patch.
321 5. Fixed a bug which was causing dump/restore to display
322 garbage characters instead of the remote host name.
324 Changes between versions 0.4b11 and 0.4b12 (released January 8, 2000)
325 =====================================================================
327 1. Small fix in the dump man page. Thanks to Thorsten Kukuk
328 <kukuk@suse.de> for submitting the patch.
330 2. Fix for the exit code when using the size estimate option of
331 dump. Thanks to Matti Taskinen <mkt@rni.helsinki.fi> for
332 submitting the patch.
334 3. Handle EINTR in atomical reads/writes in dump, which was causing
335 dump to fail on some systems. Thanks to Eric Jergensen
336 <eric@dvns.com> for reporting the bug and submitting the patch.
338 4. Handle more than 16 characters for the device names in dumpdates.
339 (up to 255 now). Thanks to Rainer Clasen <bj@ncc.cicely.de> for
340 tracking down the problem and proposing the solution.
342 5. Fixed a bug in dump which prevented the creation of the
343 dumpdates file when doing a 0-level dump without already
344 having a dumpdates file. Thanks to Patrik Schindler
345 <poc@pocnet.net> for reporting the bug.
347 6. Changed the way dump 'S' flag reports the size estimate
348 from number of blocks into bytes (making it compatible
349 with the Solaris version, and simplifying things for
350 amanda users). Thanks to Jason L Tibbitts III
351 <tibbs@math.uh.edu> for reporting the bug.
353 7. Fixed a compatibility problem in linux/alpha dump tape format.
354 Now the linux/alpha dump are (again) compatible with the
355 other dump formats. But this breaks compatibility with
356 older dumps made on alpha. Thanks to Mike Tibor
357 <tibor@lib.uaa.alaska.edu> for helping me in finding this bug.
359 Changes between versions 0.4b10 and 0.4b11 (released December 5, 1999)
360 ======================================================================
362 1. Added a '--enable-kerberos' to configure.
364 2. Added a 'S' option to dump which determines the amount of space
365 that is needed to perform the dump without actually doing it, similar
366 to the Sun's ufsdump 'S' option. Patch contributed by Rob Cermak
367 <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu>.
369 3. Added a 'M' multi-volume option to dump and restore which enables
370 dumping to multiple files (useful when dumping to an ext2
371 partition to make several dump files in order to bypass the 2GB
372 file size limitation). The 'f' argument is treated as a prefix and
373 the output files will be named <prefix>001, <prefix>002 etc. With
374 the 'M' flag, restore automatically selects the right file without
375 asking to enter a new tape each time.
377 4. Fixed a memory leak which was causing dump to grow very big
378 (270MB when dumping a 10GB filesystem...). Thanks to Jason
379 Fearon <jasonf@netrider.org.au> for reporting the bug.
381 Changes between versions 0.4b9 and 0.4b10 (released November 21, 1999)
382 ======================================================================
384 1. Make configure test if the system glob routines support
385 extended syntax (ALTDIRFUNC). If not, use the internal glob
386 routines instead of system ones. Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski
387 <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug
388 and helping me resolve this and other minor libc5 compiling
391 2. Fix a problem when dumping a ext2fs with the 'filetype'
392 feature enabled. Thanks to Patrick J. LoPresti
393 <patl@cag.lcs.mit.edu> for reporting the bug and to
394 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> for providing the patch.
396 3. Made the nodump flag work on directories. A directory which
397 has the nodump flag gets never dumped, regardless of its
400 4. Integrate a patch from Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
401 which allows dump on an active ext3 filesystem. However, this
402 is a "quick and dirty" patch which enables backup of an ext3
403 filesystem through the ext2 compatibility (by ignoring the
404 NEEDS_RECOVERY bit). The journal file is not recognized and
405 it is dumped (it should not).
407 5. Test the superblock compatibility flags when dumping, in order
408 to be sure that we know how to deal with specific features.
410 Changes between versions 0.4b8 and 0.4b9 (released November 5, 1999)
411 ====================================================================
413 1. Use lchown instead of chown, fixing a possible security problem
414 when restoring symlinks (a malicious user could use this
415 to deliberately corrupt the ownership of important system files).
416 Thanks to Chris Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for detecting
417 this and providing the patch.
419 Changes between versions 0.4b7 and 0.4b8 (released November 3, 1999)
420 ====================================================================
422 1. Put dump sources under CVS, added Id tags in all files so
423 one can use 'ident' on binary files.
425 2. Added the dump/restore version in the usage text so one can
426 easily verify the version he is using.
428 3. Small patch from Nuno Oliveira <nuno@eq.uc.pt> which fixes
429 a va_start/va_end problem on linux-ppc (always call va_start
430 va_end in pairs each time we use a vararg function).
432 4. Added again the DT_* constants because old libc does not
433 contain them :(. Thanks to Eric Maisonobe <virnet@nat.fr>
434 for submitting the bug report.
436 5. Use ext2fs_llseek instead of llseek. With recent e2fsprogs
437 this should enable dumping big (huge) filesystems.
439 6. Added the RSH environment variable in order to be able to
440 use a rsh replacement like ssh when doing remote backups (and
441 bypass the security limitations of rcmd). Now you can do remote
442 backups without being root (or making dump setuid root).
444 7. Modified again the way dumpdates works. For incremental dumps,
445 we need to read dumpdates even if we are not using 'u' option.
446 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for his ideas on how
449 Changes between versions 0.4b6 and 0.4b7 (released October 8, 1999)
450 ===================================================================
452 1. Removed the 'k' flag from the restore 'about' text if kerberos
455 2. Prototyped (f)setflags from e2fsprogs and corrected the calls
456 to them (fsetflags takes a char*, setflags an open fd!).
458 3. (f)setflags is called only if the flags aren't empty. If the
459 file is a special file, a warning is printed, because changing
460 flags implies opening the device. Normally, a special file
461 should not have any flag... (Debian bug #29775, patch provided
462 by Abhijit Dasgupta <abhijit@ans.net>).
464 4. Made possible to dump a file system not mentioned in /etc/fstab.
465 (Debian bug #11904, patch provided by Eirik Fuller <eirik@netcom.com>).
467 5. Changed the default behaviour to not create dumpdates
468 unless 'u' option is specified. Removed the old "debian-patch"
469 which provided the same thing. (Debian bug #38136, #33818).
471 6. Removed all those dump*announce, since they were getting old...
473 7. Added warning messages if dumpdates does not exist and
474 when an inferior level dump does not exist (except for a level 0
477 8. Debugged the glob calls in interactive mode: restore used a
478 dirent struct which was different from the /usr/include/dirent.h
479 one (this used to work, is it a glibc2 change?), so none of the
480 compat glob (which used /usr/include/dirent.h) or the system glob
481 worked. Restore use now the system dirent (and the system
482 DT_* constants), which are compatible with BSD ones.
484 9. Added a configure flag (--with-dumpdatespath) to specify
485 the location of dumpdates file. By default, it is
488 10. Added the "AUTHOR" and "AVAILABILITY" sections and
489 included the current date/version in man pages.
491 11. Corrected the estimation of remaining time when
492 the operator doesn't change the tapes quickly enough. This
493 was an old bug, I thought I corrected it, and discovered
494 that in fact it was corrected in two different places, so
495 the results canceled each other...
497 Changes between versions 0.4b5 and 0.4b6 (released October 1, 1999)
498 ===================================================================
500 1. Integrated multiple patches from RedHat, Debian and SuSE:
502 - tweak dump/itime.c to not try to read dumpdates if the 'u' option
504 - several fixes in the man pages.
505 - update the default tape device to /dev/st0.
506 - many updates for Linux Alpha (byte ordering, size_t etc).
508 - use environment variable for TMPDIR (instead of /tmp).
509 - use sigjmp_buf instead of jmp_buf (RedHat bug #3260).
510 - workaround egcs bug (RedHat bugs #4281 and #2989).
511 - wire $(OPT) throughout Makefile's.
513 2. Upgrade the dump revision to 1, making possible to dump filesystems
514 made with e2fsprogs-1.15 or newer. Nothing seems to break...
516 3. Fix some compile warnings, prototype all functions.
518 4. Use glibc err/glob instead of internal compatibility
519 routines (only if available).
521 5. Fix a compile error on Linux 2.2.7 / libc5 (5.4.44) (patch provided
522 by Bernhard Sadlowski <sadlowsk@mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de>).
524 Changes between versions 0.4b4 and 0.4b5 (released September 22, 1999)
525 ======================================================================
527 1. Integrated the changes from FreeBSD-3.1-RELEASE
528 (mostly bug fixes, buffer overruns, dump has now an "automatic
529 tape length calculation" flag, dump/restore can use kerberos now
530 (this is NOT tested), use environment variables for TAPE and
533 2. Integrated three RedHat patches ("glibc", "kernel" and "bread" patches)
535 3. Corrected a bug in restore when using 'C' option with multi-volumes
536 tapes (files splited accros two tapes give "size changed" errors
539 4. Corrected the long standing bug when dumping multiple tapes.
540 This works for me, needs further testing.
542 Changes between versions 0.4b3 and 0.4b4 (released January 17, 1997)
543 ====================================================================
545 1. Dump now runs correctly on kernels 2.1.x
546 Fix made by Gerald Peters <gapeters@worldnet.att.net>
548 Changes between versions 0.4b2 and 0.4b3
549 ========================================
551 1. Use realpath() if available
555 Changes between versions 0.4b1 and 0.4b2
556 ========================================
558 1. Fixed the bug fix from Greg Lutz (I had made a mistake when integrating
561 2. Fixed restore to make it able to read FreeBSD 2.x dumps again
563 3. Fixed configure.in to correctly handle --enable-rmt
565 Changes between versions 0.3 and 0.4b1
566 ======================================
568 1. Integrated the changes from 4.4BSD-Lite2
570 2. Integrated the patches from Debian and Red Hat
572 3. Portability changes: use the __u32, __u16, __s32, and __s16 types
574 4. Changed dump to use the Ext2fs library to get block addresses. This
575 should solve the endianness problem on SparcLinux.
577 5. Created a configure.in file (shamelessly stolen from the e2fsprogs
578 distribution's one) to use autoconf
580 6. Fixed a few minor bugs
582 Changes between versions 0.2e and 0.2f
583 ======================================
585 1. Added the creation of named pipes (fifos) in restore.
587 2. Added the -N flag in the restore manual page.
589 3. Added the file kernel.patch which contains the llseek() optimization
590 patch for 1.2.x kernels.
592 4. Fixed a bug in the restoration of symbolic links: owner and group were
595 5. Integrated some changes from FreeBSD 2.2.
597 6. Added a call to ftruncate() after restoring each file to restore
598 correctly files ending by a hole.
600 Changes between versions 0.2d and 0.2e
601 ======================================
603 1. Fixed a bug in the "set owner/mode" process. Every file was restored
604 with owner = root (0) and group = root/wheel/whatever (0).
606 Changes between versions 0.2c and 0.2d
607 ======================================
609 1. Dump is now able to backup 2GB+ filesystems.
611 2. Dump and restore can now be linked as static binaries.
613 Changes between versions 0.2b and 0.2c
614 ======================================
616 1. Fixed a bug when dumping ``slow'' (i.e. normal) symbolic links.
618 Changes between versions 0.2a and 0.2b
619 ======================================
621 1. Really fixed the bug that I should have corrected in 0.2a.
623 2. Enabled optimization again.
625 Changes between versions 0.2 and 0.2a
626 =====================================
628 1. Disabled the optimization during compilation.
630 Changes between versions 0.1 and 0.2
631 ====================================
633 1. Fixed a bug in fstab.c which caused a null pointer to be stored in
634 the fs_type field (actually, I modified the file fstab.c to make it
635 use the mntent functions).
637 2. Dump and restore now use a 4.3 BSD compatible dump format. Backups
638 made by dump should be readable by the BSD restore and backups made
639 by the BSD dump should be readable by restore. Unfortunately, this
640 means that the dump format has changed between version 0.1 and version
643 3. Dump is now able to backup a subtree, it is no longer limited to whole
644 filesystems like the BSD version.
646 4. Dump now uses ext2_llseek() so it is able to backup filesystems bigger
649 Changes between versions 0.0 and 0.1
650 ====================================
652 1. Now create links rdump and rrestore during the `make install' step.
654 2. Linux port specific bugs added to the manual pages
656 3. Incorrect estimation of the number of tapes blocks fixed when doing
659 4. Better ls-like format in restore in interactive mode.
