Hi everybody,
A new version of dump/restore, the Linux ext2/ext3 filesystem
backup utilities, has been released today.
This release features some interoperability fixes (make restore
understand Solaris 7 ufsdump and FreeBSD UFS2 tapes), some new
features (specify different tape sizes for each tape when doing
multi-volume dumps, extend dump to understand unlimited dump
levels) and some other miscellaneous fixes.
You can download the new version at dump/restore's homepage:
http://dump.sourceforge.net
Enjoy,
Stelian.
Changes between versions 0.4b35 and 0.4b36 (released April 21, 2004)
====================================================================
1. Fixed dump compilation with old gcc versions. Thanks to
Mike Castle <dalgoda@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch.
2. Fixed some warnings (howmany, roundup, powerof2 redefined)
when compiling against a recent glibc version.
3. Fixed a bug in restore preventing the read of a dump tape
written with Solaris 7 ufsdump. Thanks to Patrick Higgins
<phiggins@transzap.com> for reporting the bug and providing
the test case.
4. Changed dump to enable the creation of volumes of different
sizes in a single run (make -B accept a list of values).
Patch contributed by Florian Zumbiehl <florz@gmx.de>.
5. Use the glibc provided minor() and major() macros instead
of our own bitmask implementation. This should be safe for
when the major/minor namespace will migrate to 32 bits.
Thanks to Zhang Jun <zhangjun@nanjing-fnst.com> for reporting
the bug.
6. Made explicit in the dump man page that dump will not create
a remote file, it will only write to an already existing one.
7. Another try at making size estimates better again.
8. Put back the inconditional running of the end-of-tape
script which was changed in 0.434 to be run only when -M
or multiple -f were NOT specified. Some users rely on this
feature even when it is combined with -M/-f.
9. Fixed restore when restoring huge backups (where rstdir...
temporary files are over 2GB). Thanks to
Raphael Jaffey <rjaffey@artic.edu> for reporting this,
debugging the issue and making the patch.
10. Made restore understand FreeBSD UFS2 tapes. Thanks to
David <vrtin@users.sourceforge.net> for submitting the bug
and providing a test case.
11. Made dump work with an arbitrary integer level (no more 10
levels only limitation). Thanks to Matthew
<msvincen@midway.uchicago.edu> for the patch.
