Made restore work with older versions of the readline library, + by checking in configure for several extended symbols. Restore + can now be compiled with a readline as old as the 2.0 release + (though it may be a good idea to upgrade it to a more recent + version...). Thanks to Andrew Donkin for + reporting the build failures. + +4. Fixed a performance problem with the QFA file creation in + dump, which made unnecessary seeks on the tape slowing down + the dump. Thanks to Andrew Donkin for + reporting this issue. + +5. Removed the inclusion of some kernel headers in the dump + source, which prevented the compile in some kernel/glibc + headers/architecture combination. Thanks to Bdale Garbee + for reporting the bug. + +6. Added the appropriate error message when dump fails to + open the output file for writing. Thanks to Amith Varghese + for reporting this bug. + +7. Made restore able to understand large Solaris ufsdump tapes + (containing inodes bigger than 4194304). Sun have introduced + an "extension" to the dump tape format when dealing with + those inodes, which was uncorrectly handled by Linux restore. + Thanks to Uwe Gohlke for reporting the bug and + providing a test case. + +8. Added the -m parameter to dump which optimises the output for + inodes having been changed but not modified since the last dump + ('changed' and 'modified' have the meaning defined in stat(2)). + For those inodes, dump will save only the metadata, instead of + saving the entire inode contents. Inodes which are either + directories or have been modified since the last dump are saved + in a regular way. Uses of this flag must be consistent, meaning + that either every dump in an incremental dump set have the flag, + or no one has it. + Changes between versions 0.4b26 and 0.4b27 (released February 15, 2002) =======================================================================
