Made dump print out the ext2 logical block number in case of a read + error, which can be given as an argument to debugfs' ncheck command, + in order to find out the affected inode. Added note about this + usage in dump's man page. + +2. Fixed a problem in restore when reading tapes written on big + endian machines with very old versions of dump. The patch was + contributed by George Helffrich . + +3. Fixed the tape length calculation when using large tapes + and compression. Thanks to Georg Lippold + for reporting the bug. + +4. Added a new set of examples in dump_on_cd_2 directory, based + on dump_on_cd examples but somewhat enhanced, supporting DVD + media, and localized in english and german. Thanks to + Georg Lippold for the new scripts. + +5. Made dump save 32 bit UID/GID. Internally, this was achieved + by switching from the old BSD inode format to the new BSD + inode format, which means that the tape format was changed. + However, since all restore versions out there should + transparently support both inode formats, the change should + have no side effects. Thanks to John Yu for + reporting the bug. + +Changes between versions 0.4b28 and 0.4b29 (released June 8, 2002) +================================================================== + +1. Fixed a problem in the rmt ioctl command, where ioctl's issued from + non Linux clients were misinterpreted. The description of the problem + (incompatible numbering in Linux mtio opcodes) is documented at + ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/star/README.mtio . Thanks to + Jörg Schilling for reporting this bug and + providing an excellent, cross-platform replacement for rmt in his + star package. + +2. Fixed a bug reported by Andy Mentges + which caused restore to fail when the inode maps were not entirely + contained on the first volume (when using really small volumes or + when dumping a huge number of inodes). + +3. Fixed a problem in dump, where files in subdirectories of directories + that have the nodump flag set (or being excluded with -e/-E) were + sometimes incorrectly dumped (instead of being excluded). The original + fix is from David C Lawrence in the FreeBSD version + of dump: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=32414 + Thanks to Ted Grzesik for reporting the bug and + help testing the patch. + +4. Added some example scripts from Gerd Bavendiek + which makes one able to pipe the output of dump, by the net, to + a remote CD-burner server. + +5. Made dump use O_CREAT|O_TRUNC both locally and remotely (over rmt), + and use GNU's symbolic syntax over rmt instead of numerical values + to assure multiple platform compatibility. + +6. Documented the -d option in restore. + +7. Added a -v (verbose) mode to dump. For now it just prints the number + of the inode being dumped, but this could evolve in future versions + to include interesting debugging output. + +8. Added a -o flag to restore, which automatically restores the current + directory permissions in -i or -x mode, without asking the operator + whether to do so.
