The -F script is called now *only* at the end of a tape, + not at the end of the dump. Thanks to Chris + for the bug report. + +2. Use posix signal handling to preserve dump functionality + with libc5. Thanks to Jeff Johnson for + the patch. + +Changes between versions 0.4b15 and 0.4b16 (released March 11, 2000) +==================================================================== + +1. Fixed some several duplicate 'DUMP: DUMP:' in the + output of dump. + +2. Corrected the estimation of blocks to dump. Note that + this is still wrong for large directory inodes, due + to the size of a BSD directory entry on the tape + (estimation is based on the size of the ext2 directory, + which is smaller because it doesn't contain the null + character at the end). + +3. Made dump report the total number of MB written to + tape at the end of run. Thanks to W. Reilly Cooley + for the patch. + +4. Added the -X option to restore giving the possibility + to read the names of the files to be extracted/listed + from a text file (in addition of the command line). + Thanks to Dejan Muhamedagic for the + patch. + +5. Added the device name and the current volume number + as arguments to the end of tape script (dump -F option). + +6. Made the multi-volume dump work again (after having + broken it in 0.4b15). + +Changes between versions 0.4b14 and 0.4b15 (released March 2, 2000) +=================================================================== + +1. Added a prompt command in interactive restore mode. Thanks + to Andreas Dilger for the patch. + +2. Fixed a buffer overflow problem in dump (caused by + not checking the size of the filesystem parameter). + Thanks to Kim Yong-jun for + reporting this on Bugtraq (and to several dump users + who forwarded me his mail). + +3. Added the '-F script' option to dump in order to + launch a script at the end of each tape (to be used + with a tape changer, or to notify the sysadmin by + pager etc.). + +4. Fixed a bug in restore compare code caused by the changes + I made in 0.4b14. + +5. Fixed the treatment of options using the old BSD syntax + in both dump and restore. + +Changes between versions 0.4b13 and 0.4b14 (released February 10, 2000) +======================================================================= + +1. Fixed a bug in dump which may have caused invalid deleted + directories to be dumped out if they were deleted after the + mapping pass. This could occure on active filesystem and lead + to heap corruption (causing dump malfunction in many possible ways). + Thanks to Jan Sanislo for finding this + bug and submitting the patch. + +2. Fixed the handling of the filesystem parameter in dump. A + '/mnt/disk' parameter caused the disk contents to be dumped, + but a '/mnt/disk/' parameter caused the mountpoint directory + to be dumped (generally an empty directory). + +3. Improved the output of dump in order to tell which directory + it is currently dumping (when dumping a subtree). + +4. Added the '-e' exclude inode option to dump. Thanks to + Isaac Chuang for contributing with the patch. + +5. Added a REPORTING-BUGS file in order to provide a guide + on how to correctly report a bug in dump/restore. + +6. Fixed a restore problem when restoring a hard link to an inode + having the immutable or append-only attribute set. Thanks to + Ambrose Li for submitting the patch. + +7. Fixed a compatibility problem between dumps made on little + endian machines (the format was correct) and big endian + machines (the format was incorrect). This fix break the + compatibility with the older dumps made on big endian + machines (sparc, m86k, ppc etc). For the first time in + linux dump's history (I believe), the dumps made by *BSD, + Linux/alpha, Linux/sparc and Linux/x86 are compatible, + so interchangeable. Thanks to Rob Cermak + for submitting the bug and + helping me test the fix. + +8. Fixed the way dump reports the remaining percent/time, if + the number of blocks actually dumped exceeds the estimated + number of blocks. Thanks to Jean-Paul van der Jagt + for reporting the bug. + +Changes between versions 0.4b12 and 0.4b13 (released January 21, 2000) +====================================================================== 1.

Thanks to Christian Weisgerber for submitting this. +3. Fixed a bug in dump related to the 'filetype' feature of ext2fs, + causing dump to block when dumping really huge filesystems. + Many thanks to Patrik Schindler for + helping me find this bug. + +4. Fixed the treatment for an interrupt signal when dump access + the remote tape through RSH. Thanks to Christian Weisgerber + for providing the patch. + +5.
