Fix restore of dumped Access Control Lists. The previous + code for EA works fine, but ACLs needed conversion from the + ext2/3 disk format to posix_acl format before restoring. + +2. Fix some issues with restoration of EA on big endian + platforms. + +3. Fix restore when the symtab is over 2GB in size. + +4. Made the directory hash indexing an optional feature, + accessible by the '-H' option of restore, and disable it + by default. + +Changes between versions 0.4b39 and 0.4b40 (released May 2, 2005) +================================================================= + +1. Changed restore to emit warnings (instead of emitting a fatal + error) if a file (or a directory) is unavailable for a + comparision (if the user doesn't have the necessary permissions + to access it for example). Thanks to Kenneth Porter + for the bug report. + +2. Re-done the 'do not save directory entries to non-dumped inodes + (excluded from dump)' feature. The previous implementation + worked well for excluded directories but not for regular files. + Thanks to Kenneth Porter for the bug + report. + +3. Fixed a bug in dump where the tape size was miscalculated when + the user used -d/-s to specify the tape characteristics. Thanks + to Philip Goisman for reporting + the bug. + +4. Fixed another bug introduced in restore with the hashtree + implementation. This one caused restore to stop saying + "removenode: non-empty directory" in some cases. + +5. Added support for dumping and restoring ext2/3 extended + attributes (EA), like the access control lists (ACL) or + the security labels used by SELinux. + +Changes between versions 0.4b38 and 0.4b39 (released January 21, 2005) +====================================================================== + +1. The newly added dump_on_cd_3 example was buggy, replace it + with an updated version from Andrew Basterfield + . + +2. Made restore to chdir() back into the initial directory when + dumping core while aborting a comparision operation. The + previous behaviour was to write the corefile at the root of + the directory being compared, which could very well be + read only and preventing the corefile generation. Thanks + to Kenneth Porter for the bug report. + +3. Silenced the failure to call fgetflags() when comparing an + entry which has no ext2 attributes (as in lsattr()). + +4. Fix a brown paper bug in restore -C which broke restore and + caused modifications on the filesystem being compared + (directories containing a file with the same name as the + directory get renamed to RSTTMP...). Thanks to Kenneth Porter + for finding the bug and helping me + reproduce it. + +5. Made restore -C force the -N flag (no writing allowed on + the disk) in order to prevent more bugs like the above one. + +Changes between versions 0.4b37 and 0.4b38 (released January 7, 2005) +===================================================================== + +1. Fix a couple of troff syntax bugs in the man pages. + Thanks to Eric Raymond for the patch. + +2. Made restore use either libncurses or libtermcap, depending + on which one is available at configure time. + +3. Fixed restore negative size display bug when comparing a + dump containing files over 2GB. Thanks to Steve Bonds + for the bug report. + +4. Do not save directory entries to non-dumped inodes + (excluded from dump). This will eliminate the 'missing + file' warnings when doing 'restore -C'. + +5. Fix dump crash when backuping a huge (2TB) filesystem, + due to a bogus calculation on the inode map size. + Thanks to Kevin B. Haines for + submitting the bug and testing the fix. + +6. Fix a problem in restore where the final \0 in the symbolic + link names could have been lost, generating corrupt filenames. + Thanks to Kyle Wilson for reporting the + bug. + +7. Implemented a hash list for the directory names in restore. + The linear list used before caused problems in interactive + restores when dealing with directories having thousands of + entries. Thanks to Brian Ristuccia + for reporting the bug. + +8. Improved restore -C, this time including the directory + attributes into the comparision. + +9. Made restore understand tapes containing EA/ACLs (which will + be dumped by the next version of dump). In this version + extended attributes on the tape are ignored, for full EA/ACL + support wait for the next version or try the experimental EA + patch. + +Changes between versions 0.4b36 and 0.4b37 (released July 7, 2004) +================================================================== + +1. Added the --enable-staticz configure option which enables + dump and restore to be linked with static versions of + libz and libbz2 (and dynamic versions of all other libraries). + This will make Debian users happy, because libz and libbz2 + were the only needed libraries living in /usr, all the + others live in /lib. In case of system emergency, it is + better not to have to rely on an extra filesystem. + Thanks to Bdale Garbee for the suggestion. + +2. Fix compilation on (at least the Linux Debian port to) AMD64. + ( defines some types (__s64 and __u64) + that are also defined by () and + they conflict). + +3. Make dump's reading of the dumpdates file a bit more robust, + preventing dump from crashing when the dumpdates file has + been modified by hand. + +4. Fixed some offset calculations in dump code which could + lead to "bread lseek errors" on large filesystems. Thanks + to Bruce Lowekamp for + reporting this bug and debugging the issue. + +5. Made dump use the blkid library when searching for devices + by label or uuid instead of dump's own routines. + +6. Corrected a bug in dump where a wrong LABEL=... line in + /etc/fstab could prevent dump from dumping unrelated + filesystems. Thanks to Bruce Lowekamp + for reporting the bug. + +Changes between versions 0.4b35 and 0.4b36 (released April 21, 2004) +==================================================================== 1.
