A new version of dump/restore, the ext2/ext3 filesystem backup utilities, has been released today. This new release fixes some minor bugs, adds some new features and, most important of all, adds a workaround for the dump hanging problem some users have encountered. The full Changelog is appended below. You can download the new release here: http://dump.sourceforge.net Enjoy. Stelian. Changes between versions 0.4b24 and 0.4b25 (released November 17, 2001) ======================================================================= 1. Added a mini howto from Patrick Walsh in the examples directory. 2. Minor man pages syntax corrections. Thanks to Chris Danis <scr...@ho...> for reporting the bugs. 3. Added a script from David B. Peterson <da...@to...> to the examples section. It features dumping several filesystems to a remote tape drive upon ssh. 4. Added a patch provided by Richard Jones <ri...@an...> which allows BRADEMAX (number of read errors tolerated by dump) to be adjusted using the -I option. 5. Fixed a bug which disabled doing "restore -C -f -". Thanks to Clemens Stiglechner <a94...@un...> 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 <er...@la...> for reporting this. 7. Found a workaroung for the dump deadlock problem (3 childs stuck in pause(), father in read()). The workaround seems to work for me and several beta-testers. If it doesn't work for you, please report back. 8. Updated the RPM spec file (BuildPrereq, URL etc). -- /\ / \ Stelian Pop / DS \ Email: po...@no... \____/ |
