3 Changes between versions 0.4b33 and 0.4b34 (released ?????????????????)
4 =======================================================================
6 1. Fixed the INSTALL file to reflect the actual install paths.
7 Thanks to David Ronis <ronis@ronispc.chem.mcgill.ca> for
10 2. Fixed the configure script to only check for headers presence
11 instead of trying to compile them. This should fix issues
12 with old build environments. Thanks to Kari Lempiainen
13 <kari@funky.pp.fi> for reporting the bug.
15 3. Fixed restore to correctly ignore sockets when comparing
16 a dump (as socket cannot be properly restored anyway). Thanks
17 to Gunther Reiszig <gunther@mit.edu> for reporting the bug.
19 4. Fixed restore to correctly access the archive file (-A argument)
20 even when using a remote tape. Thanks to Fabrice Bellet
21 <fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting the bug.
23 5. Fixed (again) handling of long (largefile) seeks in rmt.
24 Thanks to Fabrice Bellet <fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting
27 6. Fixed restore corner case when dealing with large block sizes
28 dump is able to write now (-b 1024). Thanks to Fabrice Bellet
29 <fabrice@bellet.info> for reporting the bug.
31 7. Fixed a bug preventing dump to access a filesystem having
32 a label exactly 16 bytes in length. Thanks to <minduni@ti-edu.ch>
33 for reporting the bug.
35 8. Made dump store dump dates using explicit timezones, fixing a
36 problem with incremental dumps if the timezone is modified
37 between the dumps. Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for
38 the bug report and the patch.
40 9. Fixed a bug encountered when dumping individual files (not full
41 filesystems or directories) and dangling symbolic links happen
42 to be in the list of files. For as far as dump is concerned,
43 dangling symbolic links are allowed, and are dumped as is.
44 Thanks to Jin-su Ahn <jsahn@ee.snu.ac.kr> for reporting the
45 bug and providing the fix.
47 10. Fixed open and creation modes and permissions for QFA and
48 table-of-contents files in dump and restore. Thanks to
49 Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch.
51 11. Fixed the archive file descriptor handling enabling it to be 0.
52 This can happen in some cases when shell redirections are used.
53 Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch.
55 12. Delayed the opening of archive file until after suid had been
56 dropped (fixing a possible security issue if dump is suid).
57 Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch.
59 13. Fixed the 'S' command handling in the rmt client part.
60 Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch.
62 14. Modified the end-of-tape script handling to print out statistics
63 (and stop the timer) before launching the eot script. Also, the eot
64 script does not get run anymore when using -M (which makes sense) or
65 when multiple tapes are listed on the command line
66 (-f tape0,tape1,tapen) (which also makes sense).
67 Thanks to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for the patch.
69 15. Relicensed dump/restore under the 'revised' BSD license, as per
70 ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change.
72 16. Added LZO compression to dump. This new compression method has
73 the advantage of being super fast, thus not killing tape streaming
74 on slow machines. Thanks to Helmut Jarausch
75 <jarausch@igpm.rwth-aachen.de> for the patch and to
76 Markus Oberhumer <markus@oberhumer.com> for giving special permission
77 to include his miniLZO project (GPL licensed) in dump/restore.
79 17. Some small buffer overruns fixes in rmt. Thanks to Antonomasia
80 <ant@notatla.demon.co.uk> for reporting the bugs.
82 18. Added a special rmt version which can do encryption when writing
83 to tape. Read examples/encrypted_rmt/README for details on
84 how to enable and configure it. Thanks to Ken Lalonde
85 <ken@globalremit.com> for the patch.
87 19. Made dump work with 2.5 kernel end of tape early warning semantics.
88 Thanks to Kai Makisara <Kai.Makisara@kolumbus.fi> for the patch.
90 20. Fixed a bug which caused dump -w|-W not to work anymore, because
91 the fs_freq and fs_passno fields in /etc/mtab are always set
92 to 0 0. Thanks to Trent Piepho <xyzzy@speakeasy.org> for
95 Changes between versions 0.4b32 and 0.4b33 (released February 10, 2003)
96 =======================================================================
98 1. Added a note in the restore man page clarifying the question
99 'set the permissions on the current directory ?' asked by
100 restore at the end of treatment in -i and -x modes.
102 2. Fixed the endianess issues when reading compressed tapes.
103 Thanks to Dark Force <daq4th@users.sourceforge.net> for
104 reporting this bug and providing test cases.
106 3. Fixed the "ACL won't be dumped" warning message (which showed
107 an extra, unrelated error message). Thanks to Dragan Krnic
108 <dkrnic@lycos.com> for reporting this bug.
110 4. Made dump look first into /etc/mtab, then into /etc/fstab
111 when searching for filesystem paths. Also fixed some problems
112 caused by binding mounts or multiple block device mounts.
113 Thanks to Matus Uhlar <uhlar@fantomas.sk>, Elliott Mitchell
114 <ehem@m5p.com>, Greg Edwards <gedwards@users.sourceforge.net>,
115 Brian Hoy <brian.hoy@opus.co.nz>. (fixes Debian bugs #147086
116 and #160305, Sourceforge bugs #618699 and #679832).
118 5. Made dump's -I option accept the value '0' meaning all the
119 read errors will be ignored. This can be useful when running
120 dump from unattended sessions (like cron jobs). Thanks to
121 John I Wang <jiwang@users.sourceforge.net> for the suggestion.
123 6. Fixed the output of dump to indicate 'blocks' instead of
124 'tape blocks' in the various messages (blocks are always
125 1 Kilobyte, tape blocks are 1 BK * '-b' argument), and
126 made it clearly print the current blocksize at the start of
127 a dump. Thanks to Michal Szymanski <msz@astrouw.edu.pl> for
130 7. Made rmt understand long (largefiles) seeks.
132 8. Fixed build with very old versions of libext2fs, where
133 EXT2_FT_* constants were undefined.
135 9. Made dump accept the dumpdates path on the command line
136 (-D file option) instead of using only the hardcoded one.
137 Thanks to Piete Brooks <pb22@users.sourceforge.net> for the
140 10. Enabled rmt, LFS, readline, QFA options by default in
141 ./configure. Updated the configure process (new versions
142 of config.guess, config.sub etc).
144 Changes between versions 0.4b31 and 0.4b32 (released November 15, 2002)
145 =======================================================================
147 1. Changed dump to use fcntl(F_SETLK) style locking instead
148 of flock() when locking the dumpdates file. With the old
149 locking scheme, a local user having read rights on the
150 dumpdates file could be able to do a Denial of Service attack
151 on dump. In order to lock the dumpdates file with the new
152 scheme, the user would need to have write access on the file.
153 Thanks to Richard Johnson <Richard.Johnson3@ey.com> for
154 reporting the bug (originally a bugtraq post).
156 2. Fixed interactive 'ls' which caused spurious errors warnings
157 about 'undefined filetypes' detected. Thanks to Jorgen Ostling
158 <jorgen_ostling@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this
161 3. Fixed dump's estimate when dealing with sparse inodes.
163 4. Modified dump to allow setting a blocksize bigger than 32kB
164 (raised the limit to 1024kB), because newer hardware needs
165 this for proper operation. Thanks to Dirk Traenapp
166 <dtraenapp@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this.
168 5. Fixed a bug causing Dump to stop and report an error if an
169 inode number in the exclude file was followed by some amount
170 of whitespace. Thanks to Jeffrey Sofferin
171 <sofferin@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting this bug.
173 6. Fixed a bug which caused restore, in some particular cases,
174 to ask some 'scary' questions and leave a bunch of RSTTMP
175 directories behind when restoring incremental tapes. Thanks
176 to Philippe Troin <phil@fifi.org> for reporting this bug and
177 providing the test cases.
179 7. Changed the wording when inodes are excluded from dump:
180 replaced 'Added inode 7 to exclude list' with
181 'Excluding inode 7 (resize inode) from dump', as suggested
182 by Elliott Mitchell <ehem@m5p.com> in a Debian bug report.
184 Changes between versions 0.4b30 and 0.4b31 (released July 30, 2002)
185 ===================================================================
187 1. Fixed rmt open flags transmission (GNU's symbolic syntax over
188 rmt) which I broke in 0.4b29. Thanks to Eros Albertazzi
189 <eros@lamel.bo.cnr.it> for reporting the bug.
191 Changes between versions 0.4b29 and 0.4b30 (released July 25, 2002)
192 ===================================================================
194 1. Made dump print out the ext2 logical block number in case of a read
195 error, which can be given as an argument to debugfs' ncheck command,
196 in order to find out the affected inode. Added note about this
197 usage in dump's man page.
199 2. Fixed a problem in restore when reading tapes written on big
200 endian machines with very old versions of dump. The patch was
201 contributed by George Helffrich <george@geology.bristol.ac.uk>.
203 3. Fixed the tape length calculation when using large tapes
204 and compression. Thanks to Georg Lippold
205 <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.
207 4. Added a new set of examples in dump_on_cd_2 directory, based
208 on dump_on_cd examples but somewhat enhanced, supporting DVD
209 media, and localized in english and german. Thanks to
210 Georg Lippold <g_lippold@sourceforge.net> for the new scripts.
212 5. Made dump save 32 bit UID/GID. Internally, this was achieved
213 by switching from the old BSD inode format to the new BSD
214 inode format, which means that the tape format was changed.
215 However, since all restore versions out there should
216 transparently support both inode formats, the change should
217 have no side effects. Thanks to John Yu <jky@cs.bu.edu> for
220 6. Fixed a lot of warnings in the code shown when compiling
221 with 'gcc -W'. Thanks to Matthias Andree
222 <matthias.andree@stud.uni-dortmund.de> for reporting this.
224 7. Fixed a small markup bug in the dump man page. Thanks to
225 Eric S. Raymond <esr@minx.thyrsus.com> for submitting the
228 8. Rewrote entirely the man pages using the tmac.an macro
229 package (Linux man page format) instead of the original BSD
230 format. They should be now cleaner and easier to modify.
232 Changes between versions 0.4b28 and 0.4b29 (released June 8, 2002)
233 ==================================================================
235 1. Fixed a problem in the rmt ioctl command, where ioctl's issued from
236 non Linux clients were misinterpreted. The description of the problem
237 (incompatible numbering in Linux mtio opcodes) is documented at
238 ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/star/README.mtio . Thanks to
239 Jörg Schilling <schilling@fokus.gmd.de> for reporting this bug and
240 providing an excellent, cross-platform replacement for rmt in his
243 2. Fixed a bug reported by Andy Mentges <amentges@jumpline.com>
244 which caused restore to fail when the inode maps were not entirely
245 contained on the first volume (when using really small volumes or
246 when dumping a huge number of inodes).
248 3. Fixed a problem in dump, where files in subdirectories of directories
249 that have the nodump flag set (or being excluded with -e/-E) were
250 sometimes incorrectly dumped (instead of being excluded). The original
251 fix is from David C Lawrence <tale@dd.org> in the FreeBSD version
252 of dump: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=32414
253 Thanks to Ted Grzesik <tedgyz@roostme.com> for reporting the bug and
254 help testing the patch.
256 4. Added some example scripts from Gerd Bavendiek <bav@epost.de>
257 which makes one able to pipe the output of dump, by the net, to
258 a remote CD-burner server.
260 5. Made dump use O_CREAT|O_TRUNC both locally and remotely (over rmt),
261 and use GNU's symbolic syntax over rmt instead of numerical values
262 to assure multiple platform compatibility.
264 6. Documented the -d option in restore.
266 7. Added a -v (verbose) mode to dump. For now it just prints the number
267 of the inode being dumped, but this could evolve in future versions
268 to include interesting debugging output.
270 8. Added a -o flag to restore, which automatically restores the current
271 directory permissions in -i or -x mode, without asking the operator
272 whether to do so. Patch submitted by Tony Clayton <tonyc@e-smith.com>
273 and Peter Samuel <peters@e-smith.com>.
275 Changes between versions 0.4b27 and 0.4b28 (released April 12, 2002)
276 ====================================================================
278 1. Fixed a bug in the QFA feature which could have caused
279 a bad tape positionning on restore (causing extra delays in
280 restore). Credits go to Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de>.
282 2. Added a small note in the dump man page specifying that
283 there should be no white space between the option letter and
284 the -j or -z parameter, thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com>
286 3. Made restore work with older versions of the readline library,
287 by checking in configure for several extended symbols. Restore
288 can now be compiled with a readline as old as the 2.0 release
289 (though it may be a good idea to upgrade it to a more recent
290 version...). Thanks to Andrew Donkin <ard@waikato.ac.nz> for
291 reporting the build failures.
293 4. Fixed a performance problem with the QFA file creation in
294 dump, which made unnecessary seeks on the tape slowing down
295 the dump. Thanks to Andrew Donkin <ard@waikato.ac.nz> for
296 reporting this issue.
298 5. Removed the inclusion of some kernel headers in the dump
299 source, which prevented the compile in some kernel/glibc
300 headers/architecture combination. Thanks to Bdale Garbee
301 <bdale@gag.com> for reporting the bug.
303 6. Added the appropriate error message when dump fails to
304 open the output file for writing. Thanks to Amith Varghese
305 <amithv@yahoo.com> for reporting this bug.
307 7. Made restore able to understand large Solaris ufsdump tapes
308 (containing inodes bigger than 4194304). Sun have introduced
309 an "extension" to the dump tape format when dealing with
310 those inodes, which was uncorrectly handled by Linux restore.
311 Thanks to Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de> for reporting the bug and
312 providing a test case.
314 8. Added the -m parameter to dump which optimises the output for
315 inodes having been changed but not modified since the last dump
316 ('changed' and 'modified' have the meaning defined in stat(2)).
317 For those inodes, dump will save only the metadata, instead of
318 saving the entire inode contents. Inodes which are either
319 directories or have been modified since the last dump are saved
320 in a regular way. Uses of this flag must be consistent, meaning
321 that either every dump in an incremental dump set have the flag,
324 Changes between versions 0.4b26 and 0.4b27 (released February 15, 2002)
325 =======================================================================
327 1. Fixed behaviour of dump when exceeding resource limits
330 2. Added the -L flag to restore to allow the user to specify a
331 maximal allowed number of miscompares when using restore
332 with the -C option to check the backup.
334 3. Detailed the manual entry for the -N option of restore.
336 4. Added the -a flag to restore to make able doing unattended
337 restores in -i or -x mode (automatically walks through the
338 multiple dump volumes).
340 5. Extended the QFA mode to work with local files and/or
341 remote tapes and files. This way, restore can know in advance
342 the tape number and the offset for the inodes to extract and
343 can minimize the extraction time by seeking directly to the
346 6. Added the -A <archive> option to both dump and restore,
347 which makes dump to archive a dump table-of-contents in
348 the specified file to be used by restore to determine
349 whether a file is in the dump file that is being restored.
350 (the archive file syntax is also compatible with the
351 Solaris ufsdump generated one).
353 7. Small fix in restore making it able to read some (broken ?)
354 Solaris ufsdump tapes.
356 8. Fixed dump to correctly recognise the root filesystem when using
357 ext2 disk labels (LABEL=/). Thanks to John Yu <jky@it.bu.edu>
358 for reporting this bug.
360 9. Added the -P <file> option to restore to create a
361 Quick File Access file from an already made dump. Patch
362 contributed by Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de>.
364 10. Made restore compile and run on Solaris, making it a
365 possible replacement for the standard ufsrestore. Port was
366 contributed by Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de>.
368 Changes between versions 0.4b25 and 0.4b26 (released January 7, 2002)
369 =====================================================================
371 1. Added a set of backup scripts from Eugenio Diaz
372 <getnito@yahoo.com> in the examples section. It features
373 automatic (cron based) full and incremental dumping of
374 several filesystems on a separate filesystem.
376 2. Fixed a off-by-one miscalculation which disabled dumping
377 a one letter subdirectory. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
378 <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for reporting the bug.
380 3. Fixed several restore bugs occuring when trying to
381 restore some missing files on the tape. Thanks to Chris
382 Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for reporting the bug.
384 4. Fixed --with-ldopts configure argument passing, installing from
385 a separate object directory, makefile cleanups contributed
386 by <splite@purdue.edu>.
388 5. Fix a bug which could caused, in some conditions, the highest
389 number inode of a filesystem, to not be dumped. Many thanks
390 to Chris Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for helping me
393 Changes between versions 0.4b24 and 0.4b25 (released November 17, 2001)
394 =======================================================================
396 1. Added a mini howto from Patrick Walsh in the examples
399 2. Minor man pages syntax corrections. Thanks to
400 Chris Danis <screechco@home.com> for reporting the bugs.
402 3. Added a script from David B. Peterson <dave@toppledwagon.com>
403 to the examples section. It features dumping several
404 filesystems to a remote tape drive upon ssh.
406 4. Added a patch provided by Richard Jones <rich@annexia.org>
407 which allows BRADEMAX (number of read errors tolerated by
408 dump) to be adjusted using the -I option.
410 5. Fixed a bug which disabled doing "restore -C -f -". Thanks
411 to Clemens Stiglechner <a9401816@unet.univie.ac.at> for the
414 6. Add the -l option to restore to specify if, when doing a
415 remote restore, the file used to access the backup is a
416 regular file (the defaults being a tape drive). Restore needs
417 to know this information when reading a remote compressed
418 dump. Previously, this information was autodetected, but
419 the autodetection code fails (with ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl
420 for device) when using a non Linux remote box. Thanks to
421 many users and especially to Eros Albertazzi
422 <eros@lamel.bo.cnr.it> for reporting this.
424 7. Found a workaroung for the dump deadlock problem (3 childs
425 stuck in pause(), father in read()). The workaround seems
426 to work for me and several beta-testers. If it doesn't work
427 for you, please report back.
429 8. Updated the RPM spec file (BuildPrereq, URL etc).
431 Changes between versions 0.4b23 and 0.4b24 (released September 12, 2001)
432 ========================================================================
434 1. Fixed the permissions of a newly created QFA file by dump.
436 2. Cleaned up the source of dump (the external variables
437 definition was a complete mess, making possible to have
440 3. Fixed restore to use the full tape volume path when doing
441 a compare (since it changes the working directory to the
442 filesystem being compared in the process).
444 4. Added the -q option to dump which makes dump abort
445 whenever it needs operator attention. It should be
446 easier to use dump in scripts with this option.
448 5. Detect the use of incompatible options to dump and
449 refuse them (like -a and -B options together).
451 6. Added bzip2 compression to dump/restore (use option -j level
452 to select it). Note that you will need a restore version
453 >= 0.4b24 in order to restore a bzip2 compressed dump.
454 The same warning as for the zlib compression applies:
455 the tape format of a bzip2 dump is not compatible with the
456 original BSD tape format.
458 7. Fixed a overflow problem in dump corrupting the dump when
459 very large files were encountered. Thanks to Vladimir Nadvornik
462 8. Added a ioctl(BLKFLSBUF) in dump which should flush the
463 kernel buffer/page cache before starting the dump, helping
464 a bit those who use dump on mounted filesystems. Thanks to
465 John Yu <jky@it.bu.edu> and to Theodore T'so <tytso@mit.edu>
468 9. Updated the RPM spec file following the RedHat changes
469 (dynamically linked binaries now in /usr/sbin etc).
471 10. Added a patch from Helmut Jarausch <jarausch@igpm.rwth-aachen.de>
472 which enables restore to recognise multi volume compressed dumps
473 done on CD. Included his scripts for dump (which pipe the dump
474 output directly into cdrecord) and restore. There is now
475 possible to to backups to CD on the fly!
477 Changes between versions 0.4b22 and 0.4b23 (released July 20, 2001)
478 ===================================================================
480 1. Fixed a buffer overflow in restore/tape.c. Patch provided by
481 Marcus Meissner (Caldera International Security Dept.).
483 2. Implement the Sun rmt extended protocol. Patch submitted
484 by Ian Gordon <iangordon@users.sourceforge.net>.
486 3. Check for the e2fsprogs header <ext2fs/ext2_fs.h> instead of
487 the linux kernel header. This ensures that dump always has the
488 latest version of this file. Patch submitted by
489 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>.
491 4. Report any filesystem present in either /etc/fstab with a
492 positive passno or /etc/dumpdates in dump -w output.
493 Patch submitted by Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>.
495 5. Fixed the looping problem in dump introduced in the
498 6. Changed the -B option of dump to limit the size of
499 _compressed_ output per volume if compression is on.
500 Patch contributed by Helmut Jarausch
501 <jarausch@igpm.rwth-aachen.de>. Note however that, since
502 it is impossible to predict the size of the compressed
503 data before doing the compression, the -B limit is a bit
506 7. Fixed a bug in reading the operator typed file/tape path for
507 the next volume in restore.
509 8. Implemented a "-F script" option to restore which permits the
510 user to specify a script which will be launched at the
511 beginning of each tape, useful for automatic programming of
512 tape changers for example. See the restore man page for the
513 script parameters and return codes.
515 9. Small fix for the QFA routines provided by Uwe Gohlke
516 <uwe@ugsoft.de>, and some recommendations for QFA uses in
519 10. Fixed the multivolume restoring where making a mistake
520 to the 'Mount next tape' prompt caused several blocks to
523 11. Enhanced the -e option of dump to take as a parameter a
524 comma separated list of inode numbers.
526 12. Added the -E option to dump which specify a file containing
527 inode numbers to exclude from the dump.
529 13. Fixed the compressed multi-volume dump + restore.
531 Changes between versions 0.4b21 and 0.4b22 (released May 12, 2001)
532 ==================================================================
534 1. Made dump report the number of blocks dumped per volume.
535 Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
537 2. Fix a bug in dump where waiting too much at the 'change volumes'
538 question caused the volume to be rewritten. Thanks to
539 Graham Reed <greed@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the
540 bug and providing a patch.
542 3. Added a compression option to dump, contributed by Jerry
543 Peters <gapeters@worldnet.att.net>.
545 WARNING: the compression works only on files/pipes and
546 drives supporting variable block size.
548 WARNING2: tapes created using the compression feature are
549 incompatible with the standard dump tape format, and a
550 version of restore >= 0.4b22 will be needed for extraction.
552 4. Fixed some compilation problems for glibc 2.2.2 and 64 bit
553 architectures. Thanks to Paul Slootman <paul@debian.org> for
554 the patch and to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for forwarding
557 5. Many cleanups (CPP defines, const char warnings, check of
558 ext2fs COMPAT flags, time_t cleanups, added libext2 version
559 in dump usage text) by Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>.
561 6. Made --prefix option work in configure. All the install path
562 are now based on the configure parameters.
564 7. Added the Quick File Access mode in dump/restore, contributed
565 by Uwe Gohlke <uwe@ugsoft.de>. In this mode, dump stores in
566 a file tape position for each inode, and this file is used by
567 restore (if called with parameter Q and the filename)
568 to directly position the tape at the file restore is currently
569 working on. This saves hours when restoring single files from
570 large backups, saves the tapes and the drive's head. Use
571 --enable-qfa option of configure to compile in the QFA support.
573 8. Added the possibility to dump several files and directories
574 in a single invocation of dump. Thanks to Uwe Gohlke
575 <uwe@ugsoft.de> for implementing this option.
577 9. Fixed the dumping and restoring of files with holes
578 (files ending with holes didn't get dumped or restored
581 10. Fixed a socket descriptor leak in dump, which leaved opened
582 3 file descriptors per dump process (and there is one dump
585 11. Fixed dump large file system support, by explicit use of
586 open64/lseek64/etc functions (explicit use needed because
587 e2fsprogs libraries don't behave well when compiled with
588 FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64).
590 Changes between versions 0.4b20 and 0.4b21 (released January 13, 2001)
591 ======================================================================
593 1. Fixed some bugs in the dump -w|-W logic introduced by
594 the previous version. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
595 <adilger@turbolinux.com> for his help on this one.
597 2. Fixed again a compilation problem when using old e2fs
598 headers (filesystem label related). Thanks to many users
599 who reported this stupid error.
601 3. Fixed a build problem on old lib5 based systems dealing with
602 _PATH_MNTTAB being undefined. Thanks to John Adams
603 <johna@onevista.com> for reporting the bug.
605 4. Improved the error detection in restore when creating
606 the temporary files in TMPDIR. Now restore will corectly
607 report a 'no space left on device' error instead of
608 strange errors which could imply an archive corruption.
609 Thanks to Gabriel Somlo <somlo@cs.colostate.edu> and
610 bgjenero <bgjenero@sympatico.ca> for reporting the bug.
612 5. Added the throughput information in dump's progression
613 messages. Thanks to Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com>
616 6. Use libext2fs's inode scanning routines, which are particularly
617 robust when dealing with errors (especially when having some
618 bad blocks on the filesystem). Many thanks to Colin
619 <colin@horizon.com> for reporting the bug, investigating
620 the issues, finding a workaround, writing the patch and
621 fully testing it... (of course, if this patch will break
622 anything, he is to blame for :-)).
624 7. Made dump and restore LFS aware. Dump can dump a filesystem
625 containing large files, generate a large file on output and
626 restore can restore them. This feature is not enabled by
627 default, use --enable-largefile option of configure to enable
628 it (you need to have a LFS aware glibc though). Thanks to
629 Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@suse.de> for submitting the patch,
630 and to Theodore T'so <tytso@valinux.com> for his always
633 8. Made dump ask upon a tape write error if it should rewrite
634 the current volume (assume this is a bad tape) or if it should
635 assume an end-of-tape condition (useful for tape drives which
636 behaves badly at the end of the tape). Thanks to Andreas
637 Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the suggestion.
639 Changes between versions 0.4b19 and 0.4b20 (released November 10, 2000)
640 =======================================================================
642 1. Fixed a small compilation problem due to a change
643 in the definintion of the struct sigaction in
644 glibc 2.0 / libc5. Thanks to Gunther Schlegel
645 <schlegel@riege.de> for reporting the bug and to
646 Dave Platt <dplatt@snulbug.mtview.ca.us> for suggesting
649 2. Modified the label and uuid analysis in order to be
650 self-contained (independant of kernel/libc headers). This
651 should fix the compile with older kernel/libc headers and
652 will preserve the functionality. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann
653 <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de> for reporting the bug.
655 3. The 'exclude inode' option, if applied to a directory
656 inode, excludes now correctly all the leaves of this
657 directory. Thanks to John R. Dennison
658 <gerdesas@users.sourceforge.net> for reporting the bug.
660 4. Fixed the '-e' option to disable the possibility
661 to exclude the root inode (which causes the dumps to
662 be unreadable by restore). Prevented array overflow
663 when multiple -e options are used.
665 5. Fixed dump to correctly interpret a filesystem argument
666 which is a mountpoint and it is not an absolute path
667 (as specified in the fstab). Thanks to Bernhard R. Erdmann
668 <be@berdmann.de> for reporting the bug.
670 6. Made dump able to backup files larger than 2 GB. Note that
671 dump still doesn't cope with files larger than 4 GB.
673 7. Restore the real uid and gid before invoking an external
674 RSH program (big hole when dump or restore is suid root!).
676 8. Get the values for the default tape device and the location
677 of fstab file from the system headers. Thanks to
678 Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
680 9. Made dump -w|-W report all recognized filesystems
681 present in either /etc/fstab or /etc/dumpdates, and present
682 the list in the same order as in fstab file. Thanks
683 to Andreas Dilger <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
685 10. Made dump's -a (automatic end of tape detection) the
686 default. Specifying one of -B, -c, -d or -s options will
687 override the EOM detection. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
688 <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
690 11. Save the ext2 filesystem label into the dump volume label.
691 Specifying a volume label on the command line (-L option)
692 will override this feature. Thanks to Andreas Dilger
693 <adilger@turbolinux.com> for the patch.
695 Changes between versions 0.4b18 and 0.4b19 (released August 20, 2000)
696 =====================================================================
698 1. Fixed the signal handling in dump (which I broke in 0.4b17)
699 which was causing several strange dump failures (dump
700 hanged or segmentation faults etc).
702 2. Specified the default blocksize in the dump man page.
704 3. Changed two info messages of restore to be written on stdout
705 instead of stderr in order to leave stderr only for errors
706 or warnings. Thanks to Stephen Atwell
707 <satwell@urbana.css.mot.com> for the suggestion.
709 4. Corrected an off by one calculation which prevented
710 dumping a directory having a 1 character name length.
711 Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de>
712 for reporting the bug.
714 5. Reinforce dump in order to allow only level 0 and no
715 -u option when dumping a subdirectory, and document
716 this in the man page. Thanks to Bernhard Erdmann
717 <bernhard.erdmann@gmx.de> for reporting the bug.
719 6. Fixed a small harmless bug in restore which caused
720 in some conditions hard links to be restored several
721 times (therefore generation some warning messages).
722 Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@well.com> for
725 7. Updated the RPM spec file to the latest RedHat version,
726 providing FHS packaging and other cosmetic changes.
727 You will need RPM version >= 3.0.5 in order to build the RPM.
729 8. Updated the configure script to check for libtermcap
730 before checking for libreadline, because we need this
731 library in order to compile the readline support.
733 9. Made dump understand the LABEL= and UUID= notation
734 both in /etc/fstab and on the command line. Note that
735 you will need the /proc filesystem in order to use
736 these notations. Thanks to Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com>
737 for providing the patch.
739 Changes between versions 0.4b17 and 0.4b18 (released June 30, 2000)
740 ===================================================================
742 1. Fixed a potential buffer overflow in restore. Thanks
743 to Stan Bubrouski <satan@fastdial.net> for reporting
746 2. Fixed a readline-related bug which prevented
747 'cat DUMPFILE | restore -i -f -' from working. Thanks
748 to Charles Karney <karney@users.sourceforge.net>
751 3. Changed a few "panic" into "exit", causing restore to
752 be more stable against some attacks (like the last one
753 reported on Bugtraq, although the last version of restore
754 was not vulnerable - just dumped core). Thanks to
755 Andreas Hasenack <andreas@conectiva.com.br> for reporting
758 4. Removed the suid-root bit on dump and restore in the
759 default build (and generated RPMs). It should be safer
760 now. Users who need the suid-root capabilities in order
761 to make network backups should read first the man page
762 of dump and enable the suid bit manually.
764 5. Added -ltermcap to the compile parameters for restore
765 when using readline support, in order to make the compile
766 process work on some systems (SuSE ?). Thanks to
767 Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for reporting the bug.
769 Changes between versions 0.4b16 and 0.4b17 (released June 1st, 2000)
770 ====================================================================
772 1. The -F script is called now *only* at the end of a tape,
773 not at the end of the dump. Thanks to Christian Haul
774 <haul@informatik.tu-darmstadt.de> for the bug report.
776 Normally, the device name and the current volume number
777 are passed on the command line of the script. However,
778 if you want the old style script (with no arguments
779 passed on the command line), you can enable it in
780 configure with the --enable-oldstylefscript.
782 2. Use posix signal handling to preserve dump functionality
783 with libc5. Thanks to Jeff Johnson <jbj@redhat.com> for
786 3. Made the exit code of restore in case of a 'C'ompare
787 command reflect the result of the compare. An exit status
788 of 0 means the dump archive is correct, 1 means tape errors,
789 2 means that some files were modified. Thanks to Kenneth Porter
790 <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
792 4. Made (finally) quotes work in interactive restore.
794 5. Small fixes in order to allow dump to compile with a
795 really old e2fsprogs version. Thanks to Ian Zimmerman
796 <itz@speakeasy.org> for the bug report.
798 6. Add GNU readline capabilities to interactive restore.
799 Use configure's --enable-readline flag to enable this feature.
800 Thanks to Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for the
803 7. Do the compare on the fly in restore 'C' mode (this will
804 allow not to exhaust the available /tmp space when
805 ccmparing large files). Thanks to Kenneth Porter
806 <shiva@well.com> for the suggestion.
808 Changes between versions 0.4b15 and 0.4b16 (released March 11, 2000)
809 ====================================================================
811 1. Fixed some several duplicate 'DUMP: DUMP:' in the
814 2. Corrected the estimation of blocks to dump. Note that
815 this is still wrong for large directory inodes, due
816 to the size of a BSD directory entry on the tape
817 (estimation is based on the size of the ext2 directory,
818 which is smaller because it doesn't contain the null
819 character at the end).
821 3. Made dump report the total number of MB written to
822 tape at the end of run. Thanks to W. Reilly Cooley
823 <wcooley@nakedape.cc> for the patch.
825 4. Added the -X option to restore giving the possibility
826 to read the names of the files to be extracted/listed
827 from a text file (in addition of the command line).
828 Thanks to Dejan Muhamedagic <dejan@quant-x.com> for the
831 5. Added the device name and the current volume number
832 as arguments to the end of tape script (dump -F option).
834 6. Made the multi-volume dump work again (after having
835 broken it in 0.4b15).
837 Changes between versions 0.4b14 and 0.4b15 (released March 2, 2000)
838 ===================================================================
840 1. Added a prompt command in interactive restore mode. Thanks
841 to Andreas Dilger <adilger@home.com> for the patch.
843 2. Fixed a buffer overflow problem in dump (caused by
844 not checking the size of the filesystem parameter).
845 Thanks to Kim Yong-jun <loveyou@hackerslab.org> for
846 reporting this on Bugtraq (and to several dump users
847 who forwarded me his mail).
849 3. Added the '-F script' option to dump in order to
850 launch a script at the end of each tape (to be used
851 with a tape changer, or to notify the sysadmin by
854 4. Fixed a bug in restore compare code caused by the changes
857 5. Fixed the treatment of options using the old BSD syntax
858 in both dump and restore.
860 Changes between versions 0.4b13 and 0.4b14 (released February 10, 2000)
861 =======================================================================
863 1. Fixed a bug in dump which may have caused invalid deleted
864 directories to be dumped out if they were deleted after the
865 mapping pass. This could occure on active filesystem and lead
866 to heap corruption (causing dump malfunction in many possible ways).
867 Thanks to Jan Sanislo <oystr@cs.washington.edu> for finding this
868 bug and submitting the patch.
870 2. Fixed the handling of the filesystem parameter in dump. A
871 '/mnt/disk' parameter caused the disk contents to be dumped,
872 but a '/mnt/disk/' parameter caused the mountpoint directory
873 to be dumped (generally an empty directory).
875 3. Improved the output of dump in order to tell which directory
876 it is currently dumping (when dumping a subtree).
878 4. Added the '-e' exclude inode option to dump. Thanks to
879 Isaac Chuang <ike@isl.stanford.edu> for contributing with the patch.
881 5. Added a REPORTING-BUGS file in order to provide a guide
882 on how to correctly report a bug in dump/restore.
884 6. Fixed a restore problem when restoring a hard link to an inode
885 having the immutable or append-only attribute set. Thanks to
886 Ambrose Li <acli@mingpaoxpress.com> for submitting the patch.
888 7. Fixed a compatibility problem between dumps made on little
889 endian machines (the format was correct) and big endian
890 machines (the format was incorrect). This fix break the
891 compatibility with the older dumps made on big endian
892 machines (sparc, m86k, ppc etc). For the first time in
893 linux dump's history (I believe), the dumps made by *BSD,
894 Linux/alpha, Linux/sparc and Linux/x86 are compatible,
895 so interchangeable. Thanks to Rob Cermak
896 <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu> for submitting the bug and
897 helping me test the fix.
899 8. Fixed the way dump reports the remaining percent/time, if
900 the number of blocks actually dumped exceeds the estimated
901 number of blocks. Thanks to Jean-Paul van der Jagt
902 <jeanpaul@dutepp0.et.tudelft.nl> for reporting the bug.
904 Changes between versions 0.4b12 and 0.4b13 (released January 21, 2000)
905 ======================================================================
907 1. Small Y2K fix in the man pages :). Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski
908 <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug.
910 2. Removed the requirement to build the RPM as root from the
911 spec file. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber
912 <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for submitting this.
914 3. Fixed a bug in dump related to the 'filetype' feature of ext2fs,
915 causing dump to block when dumping really huge filesystems.
916 Many thanks to Patrik Schindler <poc@pocnet.net> for
917 helping me find this bug.
919 4. Fixed the treatment for an interrupt signal when dump access
920 the remote tape through RSH. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber
921 <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de> for providing the patch.
923 5. Fixed a bug which was causing dump/restore to display
924 garbage characters instead of the remote host name.
926 Changes between versions 0.4b11 and 0.4b12 (released January 8, 2000)
927 =====================================================================
929 1. Small fix in the dump man page. Thanks to Thorsten Kukuk
930 <kukuk@suse.de> for submitting the patch.
932 2. Fix for the exit code when using the size estimate option of
933 dump. Thanks to Matti Taskinen <mkt@rni.helsinki.fi> for
934 submitting the patch.
936 3. Handle EINTR in atomical reads/writes in dump, which was causing
937 dump to fail on some systems. Thanks to Eric Jergensen
938 <eric@dvns.com> for reporting the bug and submitting the patch.
940 4. Handle more than 16 characters for the device names in dumpdates.
941 (up to 255 now). Thanks to Rainer Clasen <bj@ncc.cicely.de> for
942 tracking down the problem and proposing the solution.
944 5. Fixed a bug in dump which prevented the creation of the
945 dumpdates file when doing a 0-level dump without already
946 having a dumpdates file. Thanks to Patrik Schindler
947 <poc@pocnet.net> for reporting the bug.
949 6. Changed the way dump 'S' flag reports the size estimate
950 from number of blocks into bytes (making it compatible
951 with the Solaris version, and simplifying things for
952 amanda users). Thanks to Jason L Tibbitts III
953 <tibbs@math.uh.edu> for reporting the bug.
955 7. Fixed a compatibility problem in linux/alpha dump tape format.
956 Now the linux/alpha dump are (again) compatible with the
957 other dump formats. But this breaks compatibility with
958 older dumps made on alpha. Thanks to Mike Tibor
959 <tibor@lib.uaa.alaska.edu> for helping me in finding this bug.
961 Changes between versions 0.4b10 and 0.4b11 (released December 5, 1999)
962 ======================================================================
964 1. Added a '--enable-kerberos' to configure.
966 2. Added a 'S' option to dump which determines the amount of space
967 that is needed to perform the dump without actually doing it, similar
968 to the Sun's ufsdump 'S' option. Patch contributed by Rob Cermak
969 <cermak@ahab.rutgers.edu>.
971 3. Added a 'M' multi-volume option to dump and restore which enables
972 dumping to multiple files (useful when dumping to an ext2
973 partition to make several dump files in order to bypass the 2GB
974 file size limitation). The 'f' argument is treated as a prefix and
975 the output files will be named <prefix>001, <prefix>002 etc. With
976 the 'M' flag, restore automatically selects the right file without
977 asking to enter a new tape each time.
979 4. Fixed a memory leak which was causing dump to grow very big
980 (270MB when dumping a 10GB filesystem...). Thanks to Jason
981 Fearon <jasonf@netrider.org.au> for reporting the bug.
983 Changes between versions 0.4b9 and 0.4b10 (released November 21, 1999)
984 ======================================================================
986 1. Make configure test if the system glob routines support
987 extended syntax (ALTDIRFUNC). If not, use the internal glob
988 routines instead of system ones. Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski
989 <sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug
990 and helping me resolve this and other minor libc5 compiling
993 2. Fix a problem when dumping a ext2fs with the 'filetype'
994 feature enabled. Thanks to Patrick J. LoPresti
995 <patl@cag.lcs.mit.edu> for reporting the bug and to
996 Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> for providing the patch.
998 3. Made the nodump flag work on directories. A directory which
999 has the nodump flag gets never dumped, regardless of its
1002 4. Integrate a patch from Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
1003 which allows dump on an active ext3 filesystem. However, this
1004 is a "quick and dirty" patch which enables backup of an ext3
1005 filesystem through the ext2 compatibility (by ignoring the
1006 NEEDS_RECOVERY bit). The journal file is not recognized and
1007 it is dumped (it should not).
1009 5. Test the superblock compatibility flags when dumping, in order
1010 to be sure that we know how to deal with specific features.
1012 Changes between versions 0.4b8 and 0.4b9 (released November 5, 1999)
1013 ====================================================================
1015 1. Use lchown instead of chown, fixing a possible security problem
1016 when restoring symlinks (a malicious user could use this
1017 to deliberately corrupt the ownership of important system files).
1018 Thanks to Chris Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for detecting
1019 this and providing the patch.
1021 Changes between versions 0.4b7 and 0.4b8 (released November 3, 1999)
1022 ====================================================================
1024 1. Put dump sources under CVS, added Id tags in all files so
1025 one can use 'ident' on binary files.
1027 2. Added the dump/restore version in the usage text so one can
1028 easily verify the version he is using.
1030 3. Small patch from Nuno Oliveira <nuno@eq.uc.pt> which fixes
1031 a va_start/va_end problem on linux-ppc (always call va_start
1032 va_end in pairs each time we use a vararg function).
1034 4. Added again the DT_* constants because old libc does not
1035 contain them :(. Thanks to Eric Maisonobe <virnet@nat.fr>
1036 for submitting the bug report.
1038 5. Use ext2fs_llseek instead of llseek. With recent e2fsprogs
1039 this should enable dumping big (huge) filesystems.
1041 6. Added the RSH environment variable in order to be able to
1042 use a rsh replacement like ssh when doing remote backups (and
1043 bypass the security limitations of rcmd). Now you can do remote
1044 backups without being root (or making dump setuid root).
1046 7. Modified again the way dumpdates works. For incremental dumps,
1047 we need to read dumpdates even if we are not using 'u' option.
1048 Thanks to Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> for his ideas on how
1051 Changes between versions 0.4b6 and 0.4b7 (released October 8, 1999)
1052 ===================================================================
1054 1. Removed the 'k' flag from the restore 'about' text if kerberos
1055 was not compiled in.
1057 2. Prototyped (f)setflags from e2fsprogs and corrected the calls
1058 to them (fsetflags takes a char*, setflags an open fd!).
1060 3. (f)setflags is called only if the flags aren't empty. If the
1061 file is a special file, a warning is printed, because changing
1062 flags implies opening the device. Normally, a special file
1063 should not have any flag... (Debian bug #29775, patch provided
1064 by Abhijit Dasgupta <abhijit@ans.net>).
1066 4. Made possible to dump a file system not mentioned in /etc/fstab.
1067 (Debian bug #11904, patch provided by Eirik Fuller <eirik@netcom.com>).
1069 5. Changed the default behaviour to not create dumpdates
1070 unless 'u' option is specified. Removed the old "debian-patch"
1071 which provided the same thing. (Debian bug #38136, #33818).
1073 6. Removed all those dump*announce, since they were getting old...
1075 7. Added warning messages if dumpdates does not exist and
1076 when an inferior level dump does not exist (except for a level 0
1079 8. Debugged the glob calls in interactive mode: restore used a
1080 dirent struct which was different from the /usr/include/dirent.h
1081 one (this used to work, is it a glibc2 change?), so none of the
1082 compat glob (which used /usr/include/dirent.h) or the system glob
1083 worked. Restore use now the system dirent (and the system
1084 DT_* constants), which are compatible with BSD ones.
1086 9. Added a configure flag (--with-dumpdatespath) to specify
1087 the location of dumpdates file. By default, it is
1090 10. Added the "AUTHOR" and "AVAILABILITY" sections and
1091 included the current date/version in man pages.
1093 11. Corrected the estimation of remaining time when
1094 the operator doesn't change the tapes quickly enough. This
1095 was an old bug, I thought I corrected it, and discovered
1096 that in fact it was corrected in two different places, so
1097 the results canceled each other...
1099 Changes between versions 0.4b5 and 0.4b6 (released October 1, 1999)
1100 ===================================================================
1102 1. Integrated multiple patches from RedHat, Debian and SuSE:
1104 - tweak dump/itime.c to not try to read dumpdates if the 'u' option
1106 - several fixes in the man pages.
1107 - update the default tape device to /dev/st0.
1108 - many updates for Linux Alpha (byte ordering, size_t etc).
1110 - use environment variable for TMPDIR (instead of /tmp).
1111 - use sigjmp_buf instead of jmp_buf (RedHat bug #3260).
1112 - workaround egcs bug (RedHat bugs #4281 and #2989).
1113 - wire $(OPT) throughout Makefile's.
1115 2. Upgrade the dump revision to 1, making possible to dump filesystems
1116 made with e2fsprogs-1.15 or newer. Nothing seems to break...
1118 3. Fix some compile warnings, prototype all functions.
1120 4. Use glibc err/glob instead of internal compatibility
1121 routines (only if available).
1123 5. Fix a compile error on Linux 2.2.7 / libc5 (5.4.44) (patch provided
1124 by Bernhard Sadlowski <sadlowsk@mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de>).
1126 Changes between versions 0.4b4 and 0.4b5 (released September 22, 1999)
1127 ======================================================================
1129 1. Integrated the changes from FreeBSD-3.1-RELEASE
1130 (mostly bug fixes, buffer overruns, dump has now an "automatic
1131 tape length calculation" flag, dump/restore can use kerberos now
1132 (this is NOT tested), use environment variables for TAPE and
1135 2. Integrated three RedHat patches ("glibc", "kernel" and "bread" patches)
1137 3. Corrected a bug in restore when using 'C' option with multi-volumes
1138 tapes (files splited accros two tapes give "size changed" errors
1141 4. Corrected the long standing bug when dumping multiple tapes.
1142 This works for me, needs further testing.
1144 Changes between versions 0.4b3 and 0.4b4 (released January 17, 1997)
1145 ====================================================================
1147 1. Dump now runs correctly on kernels 2.1.x
1148 Fix made by Gerald Peters <gapeters@worldnet.att.net>
1150 Changes between versions 0.4b2 and 0.4b3
1151 ========================================
1153 1. Use realpath() if available
1155 2. Report statistics
1157 Changes between versions 0.4b1 and 0.4b2
1158 ========================================
1160 1. Fixed the bug fix from Greg Lutz (I had made a mistake when integrating
1163 2. Fixed restore to make it able to read FreeBSD 2.x dumps again
1165 3. Fixed configure.in to correctly handle --enable-rmt
1167 Changes between versions 0.3 and 0.4b1
1168 ======================================
1170 1. Integrated the changes from 4.4BSD-Lite2
1172 2. Integrated the patches from Debian and Red Hat
1174 3. Portability changes: use the __u32, __u16, __s32, and __s16 types
1176 4. Changed dump to use the Ext2fs library to get block addresses. This
1177 should solve the endianness problem on SparcLinux.
1179 5. Created a configure.in file (shamelessly stolen from the e2fsprogs
1180 distribution's one) to use autoconf
1182 6. Fixed a few minor bugs
1184 Changes between versions 0.2e and 0.2f
1185 ======================================
1187 1. Added the creation of named pipes (fifos) in restore.
1189 2. Added the -N flag in the restore manual page.
1191 3. Added the file kernel.patch which contains the llseek() optimization
1192 patch for 1.2.x kernels.
1194 4. Fixed a bug in the restoration of symbolic links: owner and group were
1197 5. Integrated some changes from FreeBSD 2.2.
1199 6. Added a call to ftruncate() after restoring each file to restore
1200 correctly files ending by a hole.
1202 Changes between versions 0.2d and 0.2e
1203 ======================================
1205 1. Fixed a bug in the "set owner/mode" process. Every file was restored
1206 with owner = root (0) and group = root/wheel/whatever (0).
1208 Changes between versions 0.2c and 0.2d
1209 ======================================
1211 1. Dump is now able to backup 2GB+ filesystems.
1213 2. Dump and restore can now be linked as static binaries.
1215 Changes between versions 0.2b and 0.2c
1216 ======================================
1218 1. Fixed a bug when dumping ``slow'' (i.e. normal) symbolic links.
1220 Changes between versions 0.2a and 0.2b
1221 ======================================
1223 1. Really fixed the bug that I should have corrected in 0.2a.
1225 2. Enabled optimization again.
1227 Changes between versions 0.2 and 0.2a
1228 =====================================
1230 1. Disabled the optimization during compilation.
1232 Changes between versions 0.1 and 0.2
1233 ====================================
1235 1. Fixed a bug in fstab.c which caused a null pointer to be stored in
1236 the fs_type field (actually, I modified the file fstab.c to make it
1237 use the mntent functions).
1239 2. Dump and restore now use a 4.3 BSD compatible dump format. Backups
1240 made by dump should be readable by the BSD restore and backups made
1241 by the BSD dump should be readable by restore. Unfortunately, this
1242 means that the dump format has changed between version 0.1 and version
1245 3. Dump is now able to backup a subtree, it is no longer limited to whole
1246 filesystems like the BSD version.
1248 4. Dump now uses ext2_llseek() so it is able to backup filesystems bigger
1251 Changes between versions 0.0 and 0.1
1252 ====================================
1254 1. Now create links rdump and rrestore during the `make install' step.
1256 2. Linux port specific bugs added to the manual pages
1258 3. Incorrect estimation of the number of tapes blocks fixed when doing
1259 incremental backups.
1261 4. Better ls-like format in restore in interactive mode.
