Fixed a bug in the QFA feature which could have caused + a bad tape positionning on restore (causing extra delays in + restore). Credits go to Uwe Gohlke . + +2. Added a small note in the dump man page specifying that + there should be no white space between the option letter and + the -j or -z parameter, thanks to Kenneth Porter + +3. 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. + +Changes between versions 0.4b26 and 0.4b27 (released February 15, 2002) +======================================================================= + +1. Fixed behaviour of dump when exceeding resource limits + (SIGXFSZ treatment). + +2. Added the -L flag to restore to allow the user to specify a + maximal allowed number of miscompares when using restore + with the -C option to check the backup. + +3. Detailed the manual entry for the -N option of restore. + +4. Added the -a flag to restore to make able doing unattended + restores in -i or -x mode (automatically walks through the + multiple dump volumes). + +5. Extended the QFA mode to work with local files and/or + remote tapes and files. This way, restore can know in advance + the tape number and the offset for the inodes to extract and + can minimize the extraction time by seeking directly to the + good tape/offset. + +6. Added the -A option to both dump and restore, + which makes dump to archive a dump table-of-contents in + the specified file to be used by restore to determine + whether a file is in the dump file that is being restored. + (the archive file syntax is also compatible with the + Solaris ufsdump generated one). + +7. Small fix in restore making it able to read some (broken ?) + Solaris ufsdump tapes. + +8. Fixed dump to correctly recognise the root filesystem when using + ext2 disk labels (LABEL=/). Thanks to John Yu + for reporting this bug. + +9. Added the -P option to restore to create a + Quick File Access file from an already made dump. Patch + contributed by Uwe Gohlke . + +10. Made restore compile and run on Solaris, making it a + possible replacement for the standard ufsrestore. Port was + contributed by Uwe Gohlke . + +Changes between versions 0.4b25 and 0.4b26 (released January 7, 2002) +===================================================================== + +1. Added a set of backup scripts from Eugenio Diaz + in the examples section. It features + automatic (cron based) full and incremental dumping of + several filesystems on a separate filesystem. + +2. Fixed a off-by-one miscalculation which disabled dumping + a one letter subdirectory. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann + for reporting the bug. + +3. Fixed several restore bugs occuring when trying to + restore some missing files on the tape. Thanks to Chris + Siebenmann for reporting the bug. + +4.
