504/17
6- replaced INTERNAL_TAPE_BLK_SIZE with bkpinfo->internal_tape_block_size
7
804/04/2004
9- ps wax is now ps wwax
10
1109/10/2003
12- p75 is now p80 in outopening tape call
13- negotiate largest buffer possible when opening tape drive
14- fall back to dd if buffer fails
15
1609/09
17- better logging for tape users
18- working on try_hard_to_fwrite(), try_hard_to_fread()
19- replaced internal w/ EXTERNAL 'buffer' exe.
20
2108/30
22- tweaked error msgs in try_hard_to_fwrite()
23
2408/02
25- updated is_incoming_block_valid() to make it
26 return end-of-tape if >300 flotsam blocks
27
2805/02
29- when logging tape errors, don't repeat self
30
3104/24
32- added lots of log_OS_error()'s and assert()'s
33
3404/22
35- copy_file_from_here_to_there() --- added a bit of fault tolerance;
36 if write fails, retry a few times before reporting error
37
3804/07/2003
39- line 866 --- set block_size used by internal buffer to 32768;
40 was INTERNAL_TAPE_BLK_SIZE/2
41
4210/01 - 11/30/2002
43- is_incoming_block_valid() --- always make
44 checksums %65536, just in case int size is
45 odd (GRRR, ArkLinux)
46- disabled rotor-related superfluous warnings
47- added INTERNAL_TAPE_BLK_SIZE
48- do_sem() now returns int explicitly
49- changed internal_block_size
50- some irregularities (e.g. bad 'type'-ing) found by Kylix; fixed by Hugo
51
5209/01 - 09/30
53- change 64k to TAPE_BLOCK_SIZE
54- added internal_block_size; set it to TAPE_BLOCK_SIZE*2
55- if data is flowing FROM tape TO hard disk then set the threshold to 10 (not 75)
56- lots of multitape-related fixes
57- finally caught & fixed the 'won't finish unzipping last bigfile' bug
58- added WIFEXITED() after waitpid(), to improve multi-tape support
59
6008/01 - 08/31
61- trying to catch & stop 'won't finish unzipping last bigfile' bug by
62 changing the copy_file_rom_here_to_there code
63- changed % threshold from 95 back to 75
64- don't insist on full 256K write of last block to tape
65- if >25 secs go by & all data (AFAIK) has been copied thru by FIFO wrapper
66 and g_tape_stream is _still_ not closed then shrug shoulders & pthread_exit
67 anyway...
68- change fprintf()'s to log_it()'s
69- added a header+footer to each block as it is read/written to/from tape
70 by copy_file_from_here_to_there
71- wrote workaround to allow >2GB of archives w/buffering
72- changed % threshold from 75 to 95
73- added calls to set_signals(); 'buffer' was killing mondoarchive as
74 it terminated
75- cleaned up struct-passing, to improve reliability and eliminate
76 some race conditions
77- changed some forks to pthreads
78- added some comments
79- created libfifo{.c,.h,-EXT.h}
80- copied core of 'buffer' here
81- added some other, Mondo-specific functions
82- hacked 'buffer' into user-friendliness
