Fixed a buffer overflow in restore/tape.c. Patch provided by + Marcus Meissner (Caldera International Security Dept.). + +2. Implement the Sun rmt extended protocol. Patch submitted + by Ian Gordon . + +3. Check for the e2fsprogs header instead of + the linux kernel header. This ensures that dump always has the + latest version of this file. Patch submitted by + Andreas Dilger . + +4. Report any filesystem present in either /etc/fstab with a + positive passno or /etc/dumpdates in dump -w output. + Patch submitted by Andreas Dilger . + +5. Fixed the looping problem in dump introduced in the + previous version. + +6. Changed the -B option of dump to limit the size of + _compressed_ output per volume if compression is on. + Patch contributed by Helmut Jarausch + . Note however that, since + it is impossible to predict the size of the compressed + data before doing the compression, the -B limit is a bit + conservative. + +7. Fixed a bug in reading the operator typed file/tape path for + the next volume in restore. + +8. Implemented a "-F script" option to restore which permits the + user to specify a script which will be launched at the + beginning of each tape, useful for automatic programming of + tape changers for example. See the restore man page for the + script parameters and return codes. + +9. Small fix for the QFA routines provided by Uwe Gohlke + , and some recommendations for QFA uses in + the man pages. + +10. Fixed the multivolume restoring where making a mistake + to the 'Mount next tape' prompt caused several blocks to + be lost. + +11. Enhanced the -e option of dump to take as a parameter a + comma separated list of inode numbers. + +12. Added the -E option to dump which specify a file containing + inode numbers to exclude from the dump. + +13. Fixed the compressed multi-volume dump + restore. + +Changes between versions 0.4b21 and 0.4b22 (released May 12, 2001) +================================================================== + +1. Made dump report the number of blocks dumped per volume. + Thanks to Kenneth Porter for the suggestion. + +2. Fix a bug in dump where waiting too much at the 'change volumes' + question caused the volume to be rewritten. Thanks to + Graham Reed for reporting the + bug and providing a patch. + +3. Added a compression option to dump, contributed by Jerry + Peters . + + WARNING: the compression works only on files/pipes and + drives supporting variable block size. + + WARNING2: tapes created using the compression feature are + incompatible with the standard dump tape format, and a + version of restore >= 0.4b22 will be needed for extraction. + +4. Fixed some compilation problems for glibc 2.2.2 and 64 bit + architectures. Thanks to Paul Slootman for + the patch and to Bdale Garbee for forwarding + it upstream. + +5. Many cleanups (CPP defines, const char warnings, check of + ext2fs COMPAT flags, time_t cleanups, added libext2 version + in dump usage text) by Andreas Dilger . + +6. Made --prefix option work in configure. All the install path + are now based on the configure parameters. + +7. Added the Quick File Access mode in dump/restore, contributed + by Uwe Gohlke . In this mode, dump stores in + a file tape position for each inode, and this file is used by + restore (if called with parameter Q and the filename) + to directly position the tape at the file restore is currently + working on. This saves hours when restoring single files from + large backups, saves the tapes and the drive's head. Use + --enable-qfa option of configure to compile in the QFA support. + +8. Added the possibility to dump several files and directories + in a single invocation of dump. Thanks to Uwe Gohlke + for implementing this option. + +9. Fixed the dumping and restoring of files with holes + (files ending with holes didn't get dumped or restored + correctly). + +10. Fixed a socket descriptor leak in dump, which leaved opened + 3 file descriptors per dump process (and there is one dump + process per tape). + +11. Fixed dump large file system support, by explicit use of + open64/lseek64/etc functions (explicit use needed because + e2fsprogs libraries don't behave well when compiled with + FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64). + +Changes between versions 0.4b20 and 0.4b21 (released January 13, 2001) +====================================================================== + +1. Fixed some bugs in the dump -w|-W logic introduced by + the previous version. Thanks to Andreas Dilger + for his help on this one. + +2. Fixed again a compilation problem when using old e2fs + headers (filesystem label related). Thanks to many users + who reported this stupid error. + +3. Fixed a build problem on old lib5 based systems dealing with + _PATH_MNTTAB being undefined. Thanks to John Adams + for reporting the bug. + +4. Improved the error detection in restore when creating + the temporary files in TMPDIR. Now restore will corectly + report a 'no space left on device' error instead of + strange errors which could imply an archive corruption. + Thanks to Gabriel Somlo and + bgjenero for reporting the bug. + +5. Added the throughput information in dump's progression + messages. Thanks to Andreas Dilger + for the patch. + +6. Use libext2fs's inode scanning routines, which are particularly + robust when dealing with errors (especially when having some + bad blocks on the filesystem). Many thanks to Colin + for reporting the bug, investigating + the issues, finding a workaround, writing the patch and + fully testing it... (of course, if this patch will break + anything, he is to blame for :-)). + +7. Made dump and restore LFS aware. Dump can dump a filesystem + containing large files, generate a large file on output and + restore can restore them. This feature is not enabled by + default, use --enable-largefile option of configure to enable + it (you need to have a LFS aware glibc though). Thanks to + Andrea Arcangeli for submitting the patch, + and to Theodore T'so for his always + useful thoughts. + +8. Made dump ask upon a tape write error if it should rewrite + the current volume (assume this is a bad tape) or if it should + assume an end-of-tape condition (useful for tape drives which + behaves badly at the end of the tape). Thanks to Andreas + Dilger for the suggestion. + +Changes between versions 0.4b19 and 0.4b20 (released November 10, 2000) +======================================================================= 1.

Thanks to John R. Dennison for reporting the bug. +4. Fixed the '-e' option to disable the possibility + to exclude the root inode (which causes the dumps to + be unreadable by restore). Prevented array overflow + when multiple -e options are used. + +5. Fixed dump to correctly interpret a filesystem argument + which is a mountpoint and it is not an absolute path + (as specified in the fstab). Thanks to Bernhard R. Erdmann + for reporting the bug. + +6. Made dump able to backup files larger than 2 GB. Note that + dump still doesn't cope with files larger than 4 GB. + +7. Restore the real uid and gid before invoking an external + RSH program (big hole when dump or restore is suid root!). + +8. Get the values for the default tape device and the location + of fstab file from the system headers. Thanks to + Andreas Dilger for the patch. + +9. Made dump -w|-W report all recognized filesystems + present in either /etc/fstab or /etc/dumpdates, and present + the list in the same order as in fstab file. Thanks + to Andreas Dilger for the patch. + +10. Made dump's -a (automatic end of tape detection) the + default. Specifying one of -B, -c, -d or -s options will + override the EOM detection. Thanks to Andreas Dilger + for the patch. + +11. Save the ext2 filesystem label into the dump volume label. + Specifying a volume label on the command line (-L option) + will override this feature.
