Added a mini howto from Patrick Walsh in the examples + directory. + +2. Minor man pages syntax corrections. Thanks to + Chris Danis for reporting the bugs. + +3. Added a script from David B. Peterson + to the examples section. It features dumping several + filesystems to a remote tape drive upon ssh. + +4. Added a patch provided by Richard Jones + which allows BRADEMAX (number of read errors tolerated by + dump) to be adjusted using the -I option. + +5. Fixed a bug which disabled doing "restore -C -f -". Thanks + to Clemens Stiglechner for the + patch. + +6. Add the -l option to restore to specify if, when doing a + remote restore, the file used to access the backup is a + regular file (the defaults being a tape drive). Restore needs + to know this information when reading a remote compressed + dump. Previously, this information was autodetected, but + the autodetection code fails (with ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl + for device) when using a non Linux remote box. Thanks to + many users and especially to Eros Albertazzi + for reporting this. + + +Changes between versions 0.4b23 and 0.4b24 (released September 12, 2001) +======================================================================== + +1. Fixed the permissions of a newly created QFA file by dump. + +2. Cleaned up the source of dump (the external variables + definition was a complete mess, making possible to have + objects overlap). + +3. Fixed restore to use the full tape volume path when doing + a compare (since it changes the working directory to the + filesystem being compared in the process). + +4. Added the -q option to dump which makes dump abort + whenever it needs operator attention. It should be + easier to use dump in scripts with this option. + +5. Detect the use of incompatible options to dump and + refuse them (like -a and -B options together). + +6. Added bzip2 compression to dump/restore (use option -j level + to select it). Note that you will need a restore version + >= 0.4b24 in order to restore a bzip2 compressed dump. + The same warning as for the zlib compression applies: + the tape format of a bzip2 dump is not compatible with the + original BSD tape format. + +7. Fixed a overflow problem in dump corrupting the dump when + very large files were encountered. Thanks to Vladimir Nadvornik + for the bug report. + +8. Added a ioctl(BLKFLSBUF) in dump which should flush the + kernel buffer/page cache before starting the dump, helping + a bit those who use dump on mounted filesystems. Thanks to + John Yu and to Theodore T'so + for this suggestion. + +9. Updated the RPM spec file following the RedHat changes + (dynamically linked binaries now in /usr/sbin etc). -1. Fix the permissions of a newly created QFA file by dump. +10. Added a patch from Helmut Jarausch + which enables restore to recognise multi volume compressed dumps + done on CD. Included his scripts for dump (which pipe the dump + output directly into cdrecord) and restore. There is now + possible to to backups to CD on the fly!
