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.

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. Fixed --with-ldopts configure argument passing, installing from + a separate object directory, makefile cleanups contributed + by . + +5. Fix a bug which could caused, in some conditions, the highest + number inode of a filesystem, to not be dumped.

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. + +7. Found a workaroung for the dump deadlock problem (3 childs + stuck in pause(), father in read()).
