|
|---|
| 643 | - if user changes a partition's device, change it in raidtab too

|
|---|
| 647 | - put quotes around chmod's parameter
|
|---|
| 648 | - subtract 5% from reported maximum storage capacity of drives, when checking that the parttions will fit; some drives lie about their max cap
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 662 | v1.32 (2001-12-09)
|
|---|
| 663 | - if user creates ISO images, the default dest dir is /root/images/mondo now
|
|---|
| 664 | - log_it() makes sure it only writes one \n on the end of each logged line
|
|---|
| 665 | - detects if user is using GRUB/LILO/other; abort if neither LILO nor GRUB
|
|---|
| 666 | - passes the boot loader's name and device to Mindi, to be available at boot-time
|
|---|
| 667 | - if user successfully restores using Nuke or Interactive w/o error then Mondo generates a random message, basically saying, "Cool."
|
|---|
| 668 | - enlarged afio's "-M" parameter from 12M to 16M
|
|---|
| 669 | - if stablilo-me fails then restore the original lilo.conf and fstab before offering user the opportunity to edit them (Dean Carpenter)

|
|---|
| 674 | - cleaned up compare + restore logging
|

|
|---|
| 676 |
|
|---|
| 677 | v1.31 (2001-12-04)
|
|---|
| 678 | - turned on '-Wall' to find cruft; found lots of it; cleaned it up
|
|---|
| 679 | - exclude each device's lost+found directory
|
|---|
| 680 | - mountlist editor now permits advanced editing of RAID devices
|
|---|
| 681 | - fixed a silly bug that was causing freeze-up on <1% of systems; if biggielist was empty then sometimes mondo-archive would freeze when backing up big files (cos there weren't any *g*)
|
|---|
| 682 | - partition and set type in 2-stage process (was 1-stage)
|
|---|
| 683 | - cleaned up Compare Mode's logging a bit, to make it more legible
|

|
|---|
| 688 | - copy mondo-restore to Mondo's temp dir before calling Mindi
|
|---|
| 689 | - don't try to compress MP3's, MPG's, WMV's or RA's

|
|---|
| 691 | - mondo-tarme and mondo-restore are now compiled as dynamic executables; I have amended install.sh and mondo-1.31.spec accordingly
|
|---|
| 692 | - now make boot/data floppies at end of backup, not beginning
|
|---|
| 693 | - backup in alphabetical order now, not reverse-alpha
|
|---|
| 694 | - if Compare Mode reports changed files /var/* and /etc/mtab only then tell the user their archives are good despite the differneces
|
|---|
| 695 | - cut back on excessively verbose logging at backup-time
|
|---|
| 696 | - when vacuum-packing a partition, describe it as "(max size)", not "(0 MB)"
|
|---|
| 697 | - if swap is already mounted, don't abort: just say, 'swap already mounted'
|
|---|
| 698 | - when unmounting all devices, don't try to unmount something if it's not even mounted; if it's not mounted, say so but don't try to unmount it: you'll just end up looking very silly :)
|
|---|
| 699 |
|
|---|
| 700 | v1.30 (2001-11-28)
|
|---|
| 701 | - I have reorganized the C code, sorted the subroutines alphabetically, and re-jigged Mondo's installation routines (inc. the RPM spec file) to reflect the changes
|
|---|
| 702 | - check for mondo-restore's presence; if absent then abort & ask user to check to see if Mondo was installed properly
|
|---|
| 703 | - always exclude /var/log/pacct from backup
|
|---|
| 704 | - optimal set size is now 24MB
|
|---|
| 705 | - install.sh will abort w/error if compilation of mondo-* fails
|
|---|
| 706 | - after creating the mountlist, put a copy in Mondo's tmp directory
|
|---|
| 707 | - each ext3 filesystem has a .journal file in its base directory; Mondo will now exclude each of these journal files automatically
|
|---|
| 708 | - use the archived copy of LILO, not the copy from the restore-time ramdisk, to configure the MBR
|
|---|
| 709 | - size_of_file() now returns long long, not long
|
|---|
| 710 | - find mondo-archive and set MONDO_PATH accordingly
|
|---|
| 711 | - scratchdir is /home/mondo.scratch by default
|
|---|
| 712 | - at backup-time, run mondo-restore in test mode to make sure that the executable is sane & will run OK at restore-time
|
|---|
| 713 |
|
|---|
| 714 | v1.19 (2001-11-14)
|
|---|
| 715 | - tested on Linux-Mandrake 8.0 and Red Hat 7.2; backup,wipe,restore went OK
|
|---|
| 716 | - fixed a bug in is_this_device_mounted()
|
|---|
| 717 | - at restore-time, always check for presence of decompressor; abort if notfound
|
|---|
| 718 | - run 'chmod -r 1777 /mnt/RESTORING/tmp' after restoring
|
|---|
| 719 | - fixed bugs in Compare Mode:- - missing else{} - erroneous 'cannot add archive' error; res+=retval should have read retval+=res (Tony Kim)
|
|---|
| 720 | - use 'umount /mnt/cdrom' instead of 'umount /dev/cdrom', to make it compatible with busybox's umount command
|
|---|
| 721 | - fixed bug in mondo-archive which stopped Mondo from pausing to retry if the CD/ISO fails the verification phase
|
|---|
| 722 | - modified compare_all_tarballs() in mondo-restore.c
|
|---|
| 723 | - if running interactively then offer to modify fstab and lilo.conf if user says s/he has modified the mountlist
|
|---|
| 724 | - if mondo-tarme segfaults (as it does, on a _very_ few systems) then Mondo picks up on the fact & reports it
|
|---|
| 725 | - when restoring, create /mnt/RESTORING/tmp before _and_ after restoring data, just in case it is necessary; also set permissions okay
|
|---|
| 726 | - C code is now compiled 'O0' (without optimizations)
|
|---|
| 727 | - each CD's slices were being listed to screen; now, piped to /dev/null
|
|---|
| 728 |
|
|---|
| 729 | v1.18 (2001-10-28)
|
|---|
| 730 | - changed minor error in documentation (mondo-archive's --help output)
|
|---|
| 731 | - improved Mondo's compare phase for tape users
|
|---|
| 732 |
|
|---|
| 733 | v1.17 (2001-10-20)
|
|---|
| 734 | - the deprecated scripts now work with LZO
|
|---|
| 735 | - if mondo-restore cannot mount all devices, it will _unmount_ whatever it did mount, before it returns an error
|
|---|
| 736 | - works with Red Hat 6.2 and 2.2.19 kernel
|
|---|
| 737 | - cosmetic change to output (no more 'burning first/last CD' msgs)
|
|---|
| 738 | - abort if user uses '--use-lzo' but doesn't install LZO(P) first
|
|---|
| 739 | - changed --differential's \( and \) to ( and ) <-- thanks, Michael Moellney)
|
|---|
| 740 | - added Marcus Oberhumer's LZO to Mindi and Mondo; use '--use-lzo' switch to activate this groovy new compression algorithm; it is not as efficient as bzip2 but it is can take up to 50% less time than bzip2 to compress data
|
|---|
| 741 | - incorporated Bruno Cornec's "--cd-recovery" patch
|
|---|
| 742 | - at restore-time, set biggiefiles to +x
|
|---|
| 743 | - set optimal fileset size to 16MB (was 8MB)
|
|---|
| 744 | - don't report non-existent differences/errors between archives and filesystem
|
|---|
| 745 | - fixed bug in --differential switch (Michael Moellney)
|
|---|
| 746 | - scripts will no longer function unless gawk and printf are included in Mindi's deplist.txt; add them if you want to use the scripts
|
|---|
| 747 |
|
|---|
| 748 | v1.16 (2001-10-10)
|
|---|
| 749 | - default scratchdir is `pwd`/mondo.scratch.$$ (was mondo.scratch)
|
|---|
| 750 | - when asking user to send me a log file, warn them that the log file may contain information which they do not want me to see but point out that I cannot help much unless I have a copy of their log file
|
|---|
| 751 | - when comparing to or restoring from tape, only update the progree form if/when I've just restored files; otherwise, I would screw up the time est.s
|
|---|
| 752 | - increase afio's block count from 256 to 1024 when restoring from tape
|
|---|
| 753 | - plays nicely with devfs-enabled kernels and distros
|
|---|
| 754 | - when restoring or comparing, track progress by the archive# (N out of M), not by the file#; the former is more reliable and useful than the latter
|
|---|
| 755 | - has been tested successfully with the following distros - Linux-Mandrake 8.1 and its 2.4.8, devfs-enabled stock kernel --- tape / CDR - Red Hat 7.1 and its 2.4.2 stock kernel --- tape / CDR
|
|---|
| 756 | - tape streamers are now supported; use the '--write-tapes <dev> <sizeMB>' switch, e.g. --write-tapes /dev/st0 4096
|
|---|
| 757 | - LVM support is stabilizing
|
|---|
| 758 | - when mounting/unmounting partitions to be restored, don't forget to mount/unmount the swap partitions
|
|---|
| 759 | - when zeroing a drive, use plain old C fopen/fputc/fclose, not 'dd'
|
|---|
| 760 | - after restoring data and running LILO, unmount (as usual) and then run label-partitions-as-necessary, to set the ext2fs LABELs if it is appropriate
|
|---|
| 761 | - fixed bugs in selective restoration scripts and executable
|
|---|
| 762 | - fixed silly bug in hack-lilo; bug was triggered when I moved to Mandrake 8.1; bug caused '/dev/fd0' entry in lilo.conf to become corrupted
|
|---|
| 763 | - if user tries to make a bootable rescue CD with the '--no-bkpath' switch then politely direct them to Mindi :-)
|
|---|
| 764 |
|
|---|
| 765 | v1.15 (2001-09-28)
|
|---|
| 766 | - serialized the call to mondo-filelistchop.c; helps to improve visual feedback (yeah, sounds weird but it's true)
|
|---|
| 767 | - the switches --differential and --exclude-paths should play nicely now
|
|---|
| 768 | - improved the logging a bit, esp. when ejecting or unmounting CD's
|
|---|
| 769 | - improved the visual feedback (specifically, the bar and percentage figures indicating time spent & remaining)
|
|---|
| 770 | - experimental LVM support
|
|---|
| 771 | - fixed 'cannot eject CD' bug, which was caused by busybox's sync & umount
|
|---|
| 772 | - fixed mount-me to allow for mountlists with >1 spaces between columns
|
|---|
| 773 | - fixed documentation; param is --my-kernel <path>, not kernel-path <path>
|
|---|
| 774 | - fail if user runs mondo-archive _from CD_; this is for the user's protection
|
|---|
| 775 | - fixed silly bug in mount-me (a crucial line was disabled)
|
|---|
| 776 | - working on stablilo-me, hack-lilo and hack-fstab to make sure they work with the new, busybox-based Mindi v0.41
|
|---|
| 777 | - Mindi v0.41 is very different from v0.40, internally anyway; so, I had to do a lot of testing to make sure Mondo would play nicely with the new Mindi
|
|---|
| 778 |
|
|---|
| 779 | v1.14 (2001-09-18)
|
|---|
| 780 | - if verify is enabled then verify each CD/ISO after writing it
|
|---|
| 781 | - fixed a quasi-bug in mondo/mount-me; this script used 'sort +1' which is not supported by busybox; I've changed it to just plain old 'sort'
|
|---|
| 782 | - Mondo now tells Mindi whether or not to use its stock kernel
|
|---|
| 783 | - fixed bug in 'biggify-me' script; now, checksums will be verified
|
|---|
| 784 | - fixed bug in checksum comparison code (mondo-restore.c)
|
|---|
| 785 | - reimplemented '--verify' switch; now, user can verify ISO's or CD's against the live filesystem, just for 'belt and braces' emotional security
|
|---|
| 786 | - improved the error-reporting at restore-time (if tarball cannot be accessed)
|
|---|
| 787 | - if user does not specify CD-R(W) drive's speed or device then Mondo will try to locate the drive and will assume 4x speed
|
|---|
| 788 | - user may now type 'edit-mountlist' after booting, if they want to edit the mountlist without risking accidentally wiping their hard disks
|
|---|
| 789 | - fixed a few silly typos in the error messages in mondo-tarme
|
|---|
| 790 | - updated the FAQ
|
|---|
| 791 | - added code to verify ISO images
|
|---|
| 792 | - used 'blank=fast' instead of '-blank fast' for backward-compatibility with older versions of cdrecord
|
|---|
| 793 | - if nonzero value returned by Mondo, then Mondo creates a mondo.err.$$.tgz tarball containing log files & stuff, which it tells the user to e-mail me
|
|---|
| 794 | - when debugging, don't pause before running mondo-tarme; just run it
|
|---|
| 795 | - automatically exclude any file including '/vmmhiber.w9x' in its pathname
|
|---|
| 796 | - added Minix support (although I doubt anyone needs it)
|
|---|
| 797 | - ported mondo-tarme to C - prettier interface at run-time (backup), giving better feedback - obviates a mysterious, intermittent bug in bash itself - shows '% done' when burning CD
|
|---|
| 798 | - afio now has a 12MB FIFO buffer (was 16MB)
|
|---|
| 799 | - cdrecord now has a 20MB FIFO buffer (was 24MB)
|
|---|
| 800 | - wipe [CD]/usr/share/mondo, as well as floppy images, if CD #2 or later
|
|---|
| 801 | - up to 19 CD's may be created now
|
|---|
| 802 | - fixed the 'stderr.txt not found' loop error in mondo-tarme.c
|
|---|
| 803 | - fixed the weird 'segfault on finish() after archiving' bug
|
|---|
| 804 | - modularized the install.sh and mondo-1.14-x.i386.rpm compilation sections
|
|---|
| 805 |
|
|---|
| 806 | v1.13 (2001-09-01)
|
|---|
| 807 | - fixed some compiler warnings in mondo-newt.c; rearranged some code
|
|---|
| 808 | - mondo-tarme now uses -M 16m -t 4k in its call to afio, to improve performance
|
|---|
| 809 | - fixed mondo-restore.c's mkreiserfs call; ditto, prep-me's mkreiserfs call
|
|---|
| 810 | - fixed mondo-restore.c's compare_a_biggiefile() subroutine, which would generate erroneous error messages
|
|---|
| 811 | - fixed mondo-archive.c's restore_a_biggiefile() and restore_all_biggiefiles() subroutines; I can't get them to break but others can, so I've streamlined the code to make them easier to debug and in theory more stable too
|
|---|
| 812 | - fixed 'hack-fstab' to make sure that non-LABELed partitions are correctly moved/changed, etc.
|
|---|
| 813 | - fixed the 'space in big filename' bug (I think)
|
|---|
| 814 | - make Interactive Mode sort the mountlist (by partition size) before creating the dirs and mounting the partitions to them
|
|---|
| 815 | - fixed a slew of bugs related to Red Hat's LABEL= extensions
|
|---|
| 816 | - cleaned up mondo-restore.c and mondo-newt.c; replaced lots of arbitrary limits and lengths with a small number of #define's
|
|---|
| 817 | - added some sample RAID0/1/5 raidtab (config) files to restore-scripts.tgz, which will be restored to the ramdisk's /etc dir when the user boots from the CD; this will only take up an extra 50K or so & will help any user who is moving from non-RAID to RAID
|
|---|
| 818 | - changed FIFO size to 20MB
|
|---|
| 819 | - only use the VFAT kludge on /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1; otherwise, even if the partition type is VFAT, do a regular mkfs.vfat
|
|---|
| 820 | - if mkfs.vfat doesn't exist, use mkfs.dos
|
|---|
| 821 | - only try to add 'LABEL=' to ext2 and ext3 partitions
|
|---|
| 822 | - moved a bunch of scripts from Mindi's rootfs.tgz to our restore-scripts.tgz
|
|---|
| 823 | - fixed bugs in mondo-restore.c, which would sometimes just sit there when trying to compare or restore big files that were spread across CD's
|
|---|
| 824 | - Interactive Mode goes straight to 'mondo-restore --interactive' now, i.e. the user doesn't have to choose Interactive once at boot and once within mondo-restore
|
|---|
| 825 | - better post-run clean-up
|
|---|
| 826 | - improved mondo-restore.c's error-reporting a little bit
|
|---|
| 827 | - stablilo-me (the script) now supports Red Hat's "LABEL=" extensions to /etc/fstab, via the script, 'label-partitions-as-necessary'
|
|---|
| 828 | - added a user-friendly mountlist editor to mondo-restore.c
|
|---|
| 829 | - added lots of sanity-checking to mountlist editor
|
|---|
| 830 |
|
|---|
| 831 | v1.12 (2001-08-18)
|
|---|
| 832 | - changed cdrecord's FIFO size to 8MB
|
|---|
| 833 | - removed -pad and -sort from the call to mkisofs
|
|---|
| 834 | - amended the .spec file to be saner when building RPM's
|
|---|
| 835 | - archives are named '.afio.bz2' instead of '.tar.bz2'
|
|---|
| 836 | - mondo-archive, mondo-tarme, mondo-restore.c and the DEPRECATED scripts have been amended accordingly
|
|---|
| 837 | - should be able to create up to 20 CD-R's per backup set now
|
|---|
| 838 | - moved a line within prep-me that was in the wrong place (thanks, Fran Boon!)
|
|---|
| 839 | - runs 'df -m' and saves it to a text file 'df.txt' on the CD
|
|---|
| 840 | - added 10-second delay before mondo-restore's Nuke Mode, to let the user abort
|
|---|
| 841 | - really fixed the '/mnt/RESTORING/tmp' permissions bug (thanks, Ang Tan!)
|
|---|
| 842 | - sometimes, bash gets all screwed up & won't let the user type 'continue' when Mondo asks them to; if that happens, Mondo will detect it & use a different kind of mondo-askme; the new mondo-askme will check every 10 minutes for a blank CD; if it's there, then the burn continues
|
|---|
| 843 | - abort if isodir or scratchdir is a softlink
|
|---|
| 844 | - replaced mondo-askme with a good shell script, to work around flaws in bash and/or kernel (don't know which)
|
|---|
| 845 | - added a failsafe kernel to Mindi, which means you don't have to make sure your kernel is suitable for a boot disk; you can just use Mindi's instead
|
|---|
| 846 | - make+chop filelist _after_ calling Mindi
|
|---|
| 847 | - updated the FAQ
|
|---|
| 848 |
|
|---|
| 849 | v1.10 (2001-08-12)
|
|---|
| 850 | - changed cdrecord's FIFO size back to 4MB
|
|---|
| 851 | - added -pad -sort to the call to mkisofs
|
|---|
| 852 | - stop saying, "N files differ so far" after comparing each tarball
|
|---|
| 853 | - updated the FAQ, to remind users that they can boot from floppy images if their kernel does not have the right support of CD-ROM's, filesystems, etc.
|
|---|
| 854 | - erroneous error-reporting by /mondo/biggify-me; fixed (David Granz)
|
|---|
| 855 | - don't estimate the time remaining unless >20 sets processed already
|
|---|
| 856 | - default set size (uncompressed) is now 8MB (was 12MB); when 8MB, seems to run more smoothly & a little quicker, too, at restore-time
|
|---|
| 857 | - chmod 1777 /mnt/RESTORING/tmp after restoring/creating /tmp
|
|---|
| 858 | - dropped mondo-askme.c; using regular 'read' instead
|
|---|
| 859 | - mondo-restore.c uses newt instead of ncurses; much prettier that way
|
|---|
| 860 | - cdrecord now uses a 16MB FIFO buffer (was 8MB)
|
|---|
| 861 | - fixed floating point error in mondo-restore (when showing progress)
|
|---|
| 862 | - when mondo-restore is called without params (e.g. by Interactive Mode), it lets the user choose between nuke, interactive or compare (or abort)
|
|---|
| 863 | - updated the FAQ
|
|---|
| 864 | - working on Cuckoo Mode...
|
|---|
| 865 |
|
|---|
| 866 | v1.09 (2001-08-02)
|
|---|
| 867 | - default compression level is now 3 (was 2)
|
|---|
| 868 | - retry/fail/abort loop bug fixed
|
|---|
| 869 | - calls mindi with "--custom $TMP $scratchdir/images" to force mindi to use my temp dir and to put the images in my 'images' folder
|
|---|
| 870 |
|
|---|
| 871 | v1.08 (2001-07-28)
|
|---|
| 872 | - offer to Retry/Fail/Abort if an error occurs when Mondo tries to burn a CD-R
|
|---|
| 873 | - warn if kernel is 2.4.[0-5] (could have buggy loopfs code)
|
|---|
| 874 | - tested with RAID-5 --- works fine :-)
|
|---|
| 875 |
|
|---|
| 876 | v1.07 (2001-07-22)
|
|---|
| 877 | - fixed cosmetic mistake in an error msg in mondo-tarme ('continue'-related)
|
|---|
| 878 | - hack-fstab now uses "defaults 0 0" instead of "default 1 3" when making a new entry in /etc/fstab
|
|---|
| 879 | - /mondo/restore-me always makes /mnt/RESTORING/tmp; so does mondo-restore.c
|
|---|
| 880 | - cosmetic changes to mondo-restore.c's screen output
|
|---|
| 881 | - RAID-related enhancements to mondo-restore.c - RAID bkp/restore appears to be stable - it is possible to move from non-RAID to RAID by backing up, wiping, creating /etc/raidtab, modifying /tmp/mountlist.txt and then restoring - mondo-restore.c works well - the only weakness is that the kernel's messages are written to the current console, not to a separate console... HELP? :-)
|
|---|
| 882 | - updated README (esp. FAQ) and TODO
|
|---|
| 883 | - tested with Linux 2.4.7; works fine
|
|---|
| 884 | - mondo-1.07.spec and install.sh compile every C program with -lncurses, just in case some programs (besides mondo-restore.c) need the NCURSES library
|
|---|
| 885 | - mondo-restore.c is now compiled statically
|
|---|
| 886 |
|
|---|
| 887 | v1.06 (2001-07-19)
|
|---|
| 888 | - now software-RAID compatible
|
|---|
| 889 | - install.sh only compiles mondo-restore.c once now
|
|---|
| 890 | - if scratchdir or isodir contain more than one path (each), abort
|
|---|
| 891 | - mondo-restore.c creates dummy partitions if the user starts the official etc/fstab table at /dev/hda7 or something; so, partitioning should work, even if the mountlist has some gaps
|
|---|
| 892 | - for each /dev/md* device in the mountlist, run raidstop before mkraid
|
|---|
| 893 |
|
|---|
| 894 | v1.05 (2001-07-16)
|
|---|
| 895 | - patch from DoJ to make install.sh compile with -O2, not -O
|
|---|
| 896 | - cosmetic changes to the biggiefile-slicing code
|
|---|
| 897 | - fixed install.sh
|
|---|
| 898 |
|
|---|
| 899 | v1.04 (2001-07-15)
|
|---|
| 900 | - make-me-bootable only "boot-makes" each partition ONCE now
|
|---|
| 901 | - cosmetic changes to mondo-restore's logfile output
|
|---|
| 902 | - mondo-restore.c makes /mnt/RESTORING/tmp if necessary
|
|---|
| 903 | - should be able to cope with Red Hat's "LABEL=" messages in /etc/fstab
|
|---|
| 904 |
|
|---|
| 905 | v1.03 (2001-07-14)
|
|---|
| 906 | - looks for /etc/lilo.conf; aborts if it cannot locate it
|
|---|
| 907 | - abort if burning CD's & verify level>=2 (must be 1 or 0 if burning CD's)
|
|---|
| 908 | - catch errors in MakeIsoFS, if any
|
|---|
| 909 | - added 'mondo-restore.c'
|
|---|
| 910 | - C program, to replace the old restore scripts
|
|---|
| 911 | - Mindi will incorporate it in the data disks, if it can find Mondo - Mindi will also incorporate the old restore scripts (from Mondo) just in case the new C program doesn't work
|
|---|
| 912 | - calls the script, 'stablilo-me' to run LILO if desired
|
|---|
| 913 | - added 'restore-scripts.tgz', which contains the /mondo scripts that used to live in Mindi; now, Mindi grabs them from here if necessary
|
|---|
| 914 | - cleared up Mode-related scripts & the executable to replace them
|
|---|
| 915 | - if mkisofs fails, ABORT, don't just warn
|
|---|
| 916 | - added '--differential' option, to backup the files changed during the last N days (N specified by user)
|
|---|
| 917 |
|
|---|
| 918 | v1.02 (2001-07-07)
|
|---|
| 919 | - retract the CD tray after asking user to enter 'continue' (PauseAndAskForCDR)
|
|---|
| 920 | - uses C program instead of bash loop for PauseAndAskForCDR; some bash versions go into an infinite loop for no reason; hopefully, outsourcing to C will help
|
|---|
| 921 | - when slicing, indicate progress ("N slices...")
|
|---|
| 922 | - when told to '--burn-cds', Mondo pipes mkisofs's output to cdrecord, instead of saving the ISO file to disk first; this change will save time and space (not in the Star Trek sense, however *smile*)
|
|---|
| 923 | - default set size (native) is now 12MB
|
|---|
| 924 | - copy /usr/share/mondo to correct directory within CD
|
|---|
| 925 | - all calls to gawk have been replaced with calls to awk
|
|---|
| 926 | - RPM and SRPM published
|
|---|
| 927 | - delete $TMP at end; don't just delete $TMP/*
|
|---|
| 928 | - can accept multiple parameters in the '--bkpath' switch
|
|---|
| 929 |
|
|---|
| 930 | v1.00 (2001-07-04)
|
|---|
| 931 | - thanks to recent changes to Mindi, Mondo is now compatible with the filesystem formats JFS, ext3, ReiserFS, XFS and ext2 (if your own kernel is)
|
|---|
| 932 | - CDs [2-N] do not have boot floppy images on them; only CD#1 does (although CDs [2-N] do have the El Torito boot image, just in case...)
|
|---|
| 933 | - modified the --burn-cds switch; now it takes 3rd param, 'cdrw' (optional) to let you wipe and rewrite CDRWs instead of wasting CDRs ;-)
|
|---|
| 934 | - removed that PID thing; doesn't work; please don't run Mondo twice at once :)
|
|---|
| 935 | - removed that "filenames contain '|'" error & associated problems
|
|---|
| 936 | - got rid of 'UNSAFE' warning/shortcut
|
|---|
| 937 | - removed --xerox-dev, --include-tarball, --skip-tildes, --ide-opt, --use-bzip2
|
|---|
| 938 | - mondo-archive doesn't make/hack/edit mountlist anymore; that's Mindi's job
|
|---|
| 939 | - uses Mindi Linux to make boot disks & data disks based on your distro
|
|---|
| 940 | - boot&data stuff goes in $scratchdir/images now
|
|---|
| 941 | - bzip2 is used by default to compress archives
|
|---|
| 942 | - don't make MD5 checksums if verify_level==0
|
|---|
| 943 | - when archiving, make N.tar.bz2 and cklist.txt (tarball+checksums) in parallel
|
|---|
| 944 | - at end of mondo-archive, remove scratchdir and TMP completely IF they were created by Mondo (e.g. /home/mondo.scratch or /home/tmp.mondo.12345)
|
|---|
| 945 | - fill CD/image up to 1MB less than its max size; was being filled up to about 8MB less than its max size, which wasted 8-10MB of storage space per disk
|
|---|
| 946 |
|
|---|
| 947 | v0.99 (2001-03-15)
|
|---|
| 948 | - /proc and /tmp removed --- i.e. added to exclude list :)
|
|---|
| 949 | - Mondo now uses 2.4-series kernel and modules (Bruno Cornec)
|
|---|
| 950 | - minor typos fixed (Bruno Cornec)
|
|---|
| 951 | - older, restore-related fixes merged w/Bruce's work (Maciej Kulasa)
|
|---|
| 952 | - better RPM spec file (Bruno Cornec)
|
|---|
| 953 | - incorporated Mondo v0.977's restore scripts' bugfixes (Maciej Kulasa)
|
|---|
| 954 |
|
|---|
| 955 | v0.981 (2001-03-06)

|---|
| 959 | - INSTALL script renamed to install.sh
|
|---|
| 960 | - tarball cleaned up and re-tarred (Art Wells)
|
|---|
| 961 | - trailing CR/LF's cleaned from scripts (Art Wells)
|
|---|
| 962 | - work is underway to make Mondo compatible with the Linux kernel's 2.4 series
|
|---|
| 963 |
|
|---|
| 964 | v0.977 (2001-02-26)

|
|---|
| 967 | - fstab files containing NFS mounts are handled properly (Petre Scheie)
|
|---|
| 968 | - Mondo is being actively developed again (yippee!)
|
|---|
| 969 |
|
|---|
| 970 | v0.976 (2000-09-01)
|
|---|
| 971 | - technical changes - 12MB ramdisk - repackaged: now, Mondo comes in big tarball/RPM with all overhead-files - each Mondo CD has a 15MB administrative overhead; used to be 50-60MB - definitely 386-compatible now (RH 6.2 binaries) - Linux-Mandrake 7.1 (2.2.16) kernel w/ReiserFS & Supermount - modules.conf / conf.modules support (whichever you've got) - user may include their own copies of modules, if Mondo doesn't come with the requisite modules already
|
|---|
| 972 | - extra facilities - ReiserFS support - '--load-modules <foo> <bar> ...' will allow you to force Mondo to load key modules at boot-time, e.g. aic7xxx for SCSI-only users
|
|---|
| 973 | - bugfixes - path-exclusion code (mondo-backup) - bogus 'flaws=1' message has been eradicated - CDRW-finding code is now much better at finding the CDRW correctly - dummy burn mode is working again - fixed security hole (thanks, Matija); now, user will be warned if Mondo is configured to execute /tmp/mondo-tarme - changed lots of 'grep " $string "' to 'grep -w "$string"' (thanks, Matija)
|
|---|
| 974 |
|
|---|
| 975 | v0.975 (2000-07-03)
|
|---|
| 976 | - made mondo-tarme use 'ask-me-a-question' to pause for new, blank CD-Rs
|
|---|
| 977 | - don't deeply search isodir for ISO files to wipe: maxdepth should be 1
|
|---|
| 978 | - 386-compatible kernel and modules (should be, anyway...)
|
|---|
| 979 | - applied Doug Nordwall's calc-disk-size patch to fix SCSI hdd size calc'n bug
|
|---|
| 980 | - applied Michael Ralph Pape's SCSI (2nd floppy) patch
|
|---|
| 981 | - removed devdump from overhead-list
|
|---|
| 982 | - mkisofs no longer called with '-quiet' switch
|
|---|
| 983 | - changed '--burn-cds' format: now it's --burn-cds <speed> (<device>)
|
|---|
| 984 | - added '-L' to LILO's call, so that >8GB hard disks overcome 1024-blk limit
|
|---|
| 985 | - mondo-compare runs check-mountlist-sanity before mounting partitions
|
|---|
| 986 | - ramdisk is now 14MB
|
|---|
| 987 |
|
|---|
| 988 | v0.972 (2000-06-16)
|
|---|
| 989 | - auto-archive, mondo-archive and mondo-tarme updated to make them more friendly towards mult-disk sets
|
|---|
| 990 | - if multiple CDRW drives, user is asked which mondo-archive should use
|
|---|
| 991 |
|
|---|
| 992 | v0.971 (2000-06-14)
|
|---|
| 993 | - auto-archive now passes CD size to mondo-archive
|
|---|
| 994 | - mondo-tarme, in conjunction with auto-archive, now handles CDRW boot/burn sharing much better than before
|
|---|
| 995 |
|
|---|
| 996 | v0.970 (2000-06-10)
|
|---|
| 997 | - kernel now creates 12MB ramdrive (was 16MB)
|
|---|
| 998 | - lots of silly bugs & overhead problems fixed; 2nd floppy closer to working
|
|---|
| 999 | - restore scripts all log to /var/log/mondo-restore.log
|
|---|
| 1000 | - auto-archive:- - offers Low, Medium or High compression - no longer needs a spare hard drive for scratch space; uses loopfs on existing hard drive (if possible) instead - handles weird (multi-CDROM) PCs more gracefully now - handles PCs with CDRW but without CDROM more gracefully now - deletes each ISO after burning it to a CD-R (if it _is_ burning them) - asks if PC is old & crappy; if it is, IDE optimizations are disabled at backup-time and restore-time - lets user use CDRW for booting _and_ burning, thanks to reroute-softlinks
|
|---|
| 1001 | - selective restore is finally fixed
|
|---|
| 1002 | - nicer help screens on boot floppy
|
|---|
| 1003 |
|
|---|
| 1004 | v0.965 (2000-06-03)
|
|---|
| 1005 | - 2MB of space left empty at end of every CD (e.g. 650MB is only 648MB full)
|
|---|
| 1006 | - Suzhe & Lonius's SmartBootManager (sbminst) is used instead of Win98's MBR
|
|---|
| 1007 | - Mondo may now resize Windows-only backups when restoring
|
|---|
| 1008 | - silly bugs in prep-me... fixed
|
|---|
| 1009 |
|
|---|
| 1010 | v0.964 (2000-06-02)
|
|---|
| 1011 | - VFAT partitions >8GB handled OK now
|
|---|
| 1012 | - 2nd floppy (optionally) created for SCSI users <--- not working yet
|
|---|
| 1013 | - better calc-disk-size algorithm (thanks, Doug Nordwall)
|
|---|
| 1014 | - Mondo can now backup and restore Windows-only PCs! :-)
|
|---|
| 1015 | - silly prep-me and format-and-kludge-vfat bugs fixed
|
|---|
| 1016 | - 'resize hack' retitled as 'vacuum-pack'
|
|---|
| 1017 |
|
|---|
| 1018 | v0.963 (2000-05-31)
|
|---|
| 1019 | - ISO images are no longer padded
|
|---|
| 1020 | - all currently-loaded modules are backed up to custom hboot.img & installed at restore-time before CD is accessed
|
|---|
| 1021 | - '--burn-cd <speed>' switch added
|
|---|
| 1022 | - '--no-opt' switch added; use it in the call to mondo-archive if you don't want IDE optimization when restoring
|
|---|
| 1023 | - lots of work done on auto-archive
|
|---|
| 1024 | - mondo-extras-1.5 created; excludes mondo-zfile but includes hlib.tar.bz2
|
|---|
| 1025 | - boot floppy image now includes kernel w/lots of SCSI stuff
|
|---|
| 1026 | - slice* deleted (WipeArchives); was 'slices*' (bug!)
|
|---|
| 1027 | - restore scripts all use 'lastbit-me' to find the 'X' part of '/dev/X' device; this will make it easier to port Mondo to kernel 2.4.x
|
|---|
| 1028 | - I cannot make SCSI-based CDROMs boot from Mondo CDs properly... but SCSI hard drives and ZIP drives should be handled ok from now on
|
|---|
| 1029 | - with a little coaxing, Mondo will backup Windows-only PCs (as well as Lin/Win and Linux-only PCs)
|
|---|
| 1030 |
|
|---|
| 1031 | v0.962 (2000-05-25)
|
|---|
| 1032 | - silly bug in mondo-checksum fixed
|
|---|
| 1033 | - stale tmp dirs are now definitely deleted (bug fixed)
|
|---|
| 1034 | - "Job is %d complete. hh:ss to go." --- much better 'progress' string
|
|---|
| 1035 | - 'buffer' is gone again :) thank goodness
|
|---|
| 1036 | - only 1st ISO is padded; the rest aren't.
|
|---|
| 1037 | - working on implementing an easy 'cdrecord' shortcut-call-thingy
|
|---|
| 1038 | - mondo-archive doesn't try to delete loopfs unless it exists
|
|---|
| 1039 | - mondo-restore's "hack-softlinks" - silly bug ($1/ missing) fixed
|
|---|
| 1040 | - boot floppy image now includes mkdir and rmdir
