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). + +Changes between versions 0.4b22 and 0.4b23 (released July 20, 2001) +=================================================================== + +1. Fixed a buffer overflow in restore/tape.c. Patch provided by + Marcus Meissner (Caldera International Security Dept.). + +2. Implement the Sun rmt extended protocol. Patch submitted + by Ian Gordon . + +3. Check for the e2fsprogs header instead of + the linux kernel header. This ensures that dump always has the + latest version of this file. Patch submitted by + Andreas Dilger . + +4. Report any filesystem present in either /etc/fstab with a + positive passno or /etc/dumpdates in dump -w output. + Patch submitted by Andreas Dilger . + +5. Fixed the looping problem in dump introduced in the + previous version. + +6. Changed the -B option of dump to limit the size of + _compressed_ output per volume if compression is on. + Patch contributed by Helmut Jarausch + . Note however that, since + it is impossible to predict the size of the compressed + data before doing the compression, the -B limit is a bit + conservative. + +7. Fixed a bug in reading the operator typed file/tape path for + the next volume in restore. + +8. Implemented a "-F script" option to restore which permits the + user to specify a script which will be launched at the + beginning of each tape, useful for automatic programming of + tape changers for example. See the restore man page for the + script parameters and return codes. + +9. Small fix for the QFA routines provided by Uwe Gohlke + , and some recommendations for QFA uses in + the man pages. + +10. Fixed the multivolume restoring where making a mistake + to the 'Mount next tape' prompt caused several blocks to + be lost. + +11. Enhanced the -e option of dump to take as a parameter a + comma separated list of inode numbers. + +12. Added the -E option to dump which specify a file containing + inode numbers to exclude from the dump. + +13. Fixed the compressed multi-volume dump + restore. + +Changes between versions 0.4b21 and 0.4b22 (released May 12, 2001) +================================================================== + +1. Made dump report the number of blocks dumped per volume. + Thanks to Kenneth Porter for the suggestion. + +2. Fix a bug in dump where waiting too much at the 'change volumes' + question caused the volume to be rewritten. Thanks to + Graham Reed for reporting the + bug and providing a patch. + +3. Added a compression option to dump, contributed by Jerry + Peters . + + WARNING: the compression works only on files/pipes and + drives supporting variable block size. + + WARNING2: tapes created using the compression feature are + incompatible with the standard dump tape format, and a + version of restore >= 0.4b22 will be needed for extraction. + +4. Fixed some compilation problems for glibc 2.2.2 and 64 bit + architectures. Thanks to Paul Slootman for + the patch and to Bdale Garbee for forwarding + it upstream. + +5. Many cleanups (CPP defines, const char warnings, check of + ext2fs COMPAT flags, time_t cleanups, added libext2 version + in dump usage text) by Andreas Dilger . + +6. Made --prefix option work in configure. All the install path + are now based on the configure parameters. + +7. Added the Quick File Access mode in dump/restore, contributed + by Uwe Gohlke . In this mode, dump stores in + a file tape position for each inode, and this file is used by + restore (if called with parameter Q and the filename) + to directly position the tape at the file restore is currently + working on. This saves hours when restoring single files from + large backups, saves the tapes and the drive's head. Use + --enable-qfa option of configure to compile in the QFA support. + +8. Added the possibility to dump several files and directories + in a single invocation of dump. Thanks to Uwe Gohlke + for implementing this option. + +9. Fixed the dumping and restoring of files with holes + (files ending with holes didn't get dumped or restored + correctly). + +10. Fixed a socket descriptor leak in dump, which leaved opened + 3 file descriptors per dump process (and there is one dump + process per tape). + +11. Fixed dump large file system support, by explicit use of + open64/lseek64/etc functions (explicit use needed because + e2fsprogs libraries don't behave well when compiled with + FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64). Changes between versions 0.4b20 and 0.4b21 (released January 13, 2001) ======================================================================
