Ok, I'm back ;-)
Dump 0.3 is now available on tsx-11.mit.edu in the directory
/pub/linux/packages/ext2fs.
Restore is now able to restore named pipes (fifos). Thanks to
Jason Venner <jason@idiom.com> for reporting the bug. I have also fixed
a bug in the symlink restoration: owner and group were not set by previous
version. Thanks to Klaus Kudielka <kkudielk@cacofonix.nt.tuwien.ac.at> for
reporting it. Restore is now able to restore correctly files ending with
a hole (mainly DLL shared libraries under Linux). Thanks to David Monro
<davidm@cs.su.oz.au> for sending me a patch much cleaner than mine :-)
Kevin Layer <layer@Franz.COM> has implemented a verify option in
restore. It is now possible to check a dump against the contents of the
filesystem. Thank you very much, Kevin!
Some bug fixes from FreeBSD 2.2-current have also been integrated.
Last, I have added the file linux-1.2.x.patch in the distribution.
This patch for 1.2 kernels should be applied if you want to get better
performances.
I remind you that dump and restore should be considered as software
in BETA test. Don't rely too much on them for your backups...
