I'm pleased to announce a new version of dump/restore, the Linux ext2 fs
backup utilities.
This version contains several small fixes and a big one intended
to Linux/Alpha users (read the Changelog below).
Stelian.
Changelog follows:
Changes between versions 0.4b11 and 0.4b12 (released January 8, 1999)
=====================================================================
1. Small fix in the dump man page. Thanks to Thorsten Kukuk
<kukuk _at_ suse.de> for submitting the patch.
2. Fix for the exit code when using the size estimate option of
dump. Thanks to Matti Taskinen <mkt _at_ rni.helsinki.fi> for
submitting the patch.
3. Handle EINTR in atomical reads/writes in dump, which was causing
dump to fail on some systems. Thanks to Eric Jergensen
<eric _at_ dvns.com> for reporting the bug and submitting the patch.
4. Handle more than 16 characters for the device names in dumpdates.
(up to 255 now). Thanks to Rainer Clasen <bj _at_ ncc.cicely.de> for
tracking down the problem and proposing the solution.
5. Fixed a bug in dump which prevented the creation of the
dumpdates file when doing a 0-level dump without already
having a dumpdates file. Thanks to Patrik Schindler
<poc _at_ pocnet.net> for reporting the bug.
6. Changed the way dump 'S' flag reports the size estimate
from number of blocks into bytes (making it compatible
with the Solaris version, and simplifying things for
amanda users). Thanks to Jason L Tibbitts III
<tibbs _at_ math.uh.edu> for reporting the bug.
7. Fixed a compatibility problem in linux/alpha dump tape format.
Now the linux/alpha dump are (again) compatible with the
other dump formats. But this breaks compatibility with
older dumps made on alpha. Thanks to Mike Tibor
<tibor _at_ lib.uaa.alaska.edu> for helping me in finding this bug.
