Hi everybody, A new version of dump/restore, the Linux ext2/ext3 filesystem backup utilities has been released today. This release features a few bug fixes and support for ext2/ext3 extended attributes (EA). For additionnal details, see the full ChangeLog below. You can download the new version at dump/restore's homepage: http://dump.sourceforge.net Enjoy, Stelian. Changes between versions 0.4b39 and 0.4b40 (released May 2, 2005) ================================================================= 1. Changed restore to emit warnings (instead of emitting a fatal error) if a file (or a directory) is unavailable for a comparision (if the user doesn't have the necessary permissions to access it for example). Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> for the bug report. 2. Re-done the 'do not save directory entries to non-dumped inodes (excluded from dump)' feature. The previous implementation worked well for excluded directories but not for regular files. Thanks to Kenneth Porter <shiva@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> for the bug report. 3. Fixed a bug in dump where the tape size was miscalculated when the user used -d/-s to specify the tape characteristics. Thanks to Philip Goisman <goisman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> for reporting the bug. 4. Fixed another bug introduced in restore with the hashtree implementation. This one caused restore to stop saying "removenode: non-empty directory" in some cases. 5. Added support for dumping and restoring ext2/3 extended attributes (EA), like the access control lists (ACL) or the security labels used by SELinux. -- Stelian Pop <stelian@xxxxxxxxxx> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
