| 636 | v1.30 (DEVELOPMENT)
|
|---|
| 637 | - I have reorganized the C code, sorted the subroutines alphabetically, and
|
|---|
| 638 | re-jigged Mondo's installation routines (inc. the RPM spec file) to reflect
|
|---|
| 639 | the changes
|
|---|
| 640 | - check for mondo-restore's presence; if absent then abort & ask user to check
|
|---|
| 641 | to see if Mondo was installed properly
|
|---|
| 642 | - always exclude /var/log/pacct from backup
|
|---|
| 643 | - optimal set size is now 24MB
|
|---|
| 644 | - install.sh will abort w/error if compilation of mondo-* fails
|
|---|
| 645 | - after creating the mountlist, put a copy in Mondo's tmp directory
|
|---|
| 646 | - each ext3 filesystem has a .journal file in its base directory; Mondo will
|
|---|
| 647 | now exclude each of these journal files automatically
|
|---|
| 648 | - use the archived copy of LILO, not the copy from the restore-time ramdisk,
|
|---|
| 649 | to configure the MBR
|
|---|
| 650 | - size_of_file() now returns long long, not long
|
|---|
| 651 | - find mondo-archive and set MONDO_PATH accordingly
|
|---|
| 652 | - scratchdir is /home/mondo.scratch by default
|
|---|
| 653 | - at backup-time, run mondo-restore in test mode to make sure that the
|
|---|
| 654 | executable is sane & will run OK at restore-time

| 659 | v1.19
|
|---|
| 660 | - tested on Linux-Mandrake 8.0 and Red Hat 7.2; backup,wipe,restore went OK
|
|---|
| 661 | - fixed a bug in is_this_device_mounted()
|
|---|
| 662 | - at restore-time, always check for presence of decompressor; abort if notfound
|
|---|
| 663 | - run 'chmod -r 1777 /mnt/RESTORING/tmp' after restoring
|
|---|
| 664 | - fixed bugs in Compare Mode:-
|
|---|
| 665 | - missing else{}
|
|---|
| 666 | - erroneous 'cannot add archive' error; res+=retval should have read
|
|---|
| 667 | retval+=res (Tony Kim)
|
|---|
| 668 | - use 'umount /mnt/cdrom' instead of 'umount /dev/cdrom', to make it compatible
|
|---|
| 669 | with busybox's umount command
|
|---|
| 670 | - fixed bug in mondo-archive which stopped Mondo from pausing to retry if the
|
|---|
| 671 | CD/ISO fails the verification phase
|
|---|
| 672 | - modified compare_all_tarballs() in mondo-restore.c
|
|---|
| 673 | - if running interactively then offer to modify fstab and lilo.conf if user
|
|---|
| 674 | says s/he has modified the mountlist
|
|---|
| 675 | - if mondo-tarme segfaults (as it does, on a _very_ few systems) then Mondo
|
|---|
| 676 | picks up on the fact & reports it
|
|---|
| 677 | - when restoring, create /mnt/RESTORING/tmp before _and_ after restoring data,
|
|---|
| 678 | just in case it is necessary; also set permissions okay
|
|---|
| 679 | - C code is now compiled 'O0' (without optimizations)
|
|---|
| 680 | - each CD's slices were being listed to screen; now, piped to /dev/null

| 694 | - if mondo-restore cannot mount all devices, it will _unmount_ whatever it did
|
|---|
| 695 | mount, before it returns an error
|
|---|
| 696 | - works with Red Hat 6.2 and 2.2.19 kernel
|
|---|
| 697 | - cosmetic change to output (no more 'burning first/last CD' msgs)
|
|---|
| 698 | - abort if user uses '--use-lzo' but doesn't install LZO(P) first
|
|---|
| 699 | - changed --differential's \( and \) to ( and ) <-- thanks, Michael Moellney)
|
|---|
| 700 | - added Marcus Oberhumer's LZO to Mindi and Mondo; use '--use-lzo' switch
|
|---|
| 701 | to activate this groovy new compression algorithm; it is not as efficient
|
|---|
| 702 | as bzip2 but it is can take up to 50% less time than bzip2 to compress data
|
|---|
| 703 | - incorporated Bruno Cornec's "--cd-recovery" patch
|
|---|
| 704 | - at restore-time, set biggiefiles to +x
|
|---|
| 705 | - set optimal fileset size to 16MB (was 8MB)
|
|---|
| 706 | - don't report non-existent differences/errors between archives and filesystem
|
|---|
| 707 | - fixed bug in --differential switch (Michael Moellney)
|
|---|
| 708 | - scripts will no longer function unless gawk and printf are included in

| 714 | v1.16
|
|---|
| 715 | - default scratchdir is `pwd`/mondo.scratch.$$ (was mondo.scratch)
|
|---|
| 716 | - when asking user to send me a log file, warn them that the log file may
|
|---|
| 717 | contain information which they do not want me to see but point out that I
|
|---|
| 718 | cannot help much unless I have a copy of their log file
|
|---|
| 719 | - when comparing to or restoring from tape, only update the progree form
|
|---|
| 720 | if/when I've just restored files; otherwise, I would screw up the time est.s
|
|---|
| 721 | - increase afio's block count from 256 to 1024 when restoring from tape
|
|---|
| 722 | - plays nicely with devfs-enabled kernels and distros
|
|---|
| 723 | - when restoring or comparing, track progress by the archive# (N out of M),
|
|---|
| 724 | not by the file#; the former is more reliable and useful than the latter
|
|---|
| 725 | - has been tested successfully with the following distros
|
|---|
| 726 | - Linux-Mandrake 8.1 and its 2.4.8, devfs-enabled stock kernel --- tape / CDR
|
|---|
| 727 | - Red Hat 7.1 and its 2.4.2 stock kernel --- tape / CDR
|
|---|
| 728 | - tape streamers are now supported; use the '--write-tapes <dev> <sizeMB>'
|
|---|
| 729 | switch, e.g. --write-tapes /dev/st0 4096
|
|---|
| 730 | - LVM support is stabilizing
|
|---|
| 731 | - when mounting/unmounting partitions to be restored, don't forget to
|
|---|
| 732 | mount/unmount the swap partitions
|
|---|
| 733 | - when zeroing a drive, use plain old C fopen/fputc/fclose, not 'dd'
|
|---|
| 734 | - after restoring data and running LILO, unmount (as usual) and then run
|
|---|
| 735 | label-partitions-as-necessary, to set the ext2fs LABELs if it is appropriate
|
|---|
| 736 | - fixed bugs in selective restoration scripts and executable
|
|---|
| 737 | - fixed silly bug in hack-lilo; bug was triggered when I moved to Mandrake 8.1;
|
|---|
| 738 | bug caused '/dev/fd0' entry in lilo.conf to become corrupted
|
|---|
| 739 | - if user tries to make a bootable rescue CD with the '--no-bkpath' switch then

| 740 | politely direct them to Mindi :-)

| 746 | - serialized the call to mondo-filelistchop.c; helps to improve visual feedback
|
|---|
| 747 | (yeah, sounds weird but it's true)
|
|---|
| 748 | - the switches --differential and --exclude-paths should play nicely now
|
|---|
| 749 | - improved the logging a bit, esp. when ejecting or unmounting CD's
|
|---|
| 750 | - improved the visual feedback (specifically, the bar and percentage figures
|
|---|
| 751 | indicating time spent & remaining)
|
|---|
| 752 | - experimental LVM support
|
|---|
| 753 | - fixed 'cannot eject CD' bug, which was caused by busybox's sync & umount
|
|---|
| 754 | - fixed mount-me to allow for mountlists with >1 spaces between columns
|
|---|
| 755 | - fixed documentation; param is --my-kernel <path>, not kernel-path <path>
|
|---|
| 756 | - fail if user runs mondo-archive _from CD_; this is for the user's protection
|
|---|
| 757 | - fixed silly bug in mount-me (a crucial line was disabled)
|
|---|
| 758 | - working on stablilo-me, hack-lilo and hack-fstab to make sure they work
|
|---|
| 759 | with the new, busybox-based Mindi v0.41
|
|---|
| 760 | - Mindi v0.41 is very different from v0.40, internally anyway; so, I had to do

| 767 | - if verify is enabled then verify each CD/ISO after writing it
|
|---|
| 768 | - fixed a quasi-bug in mondo/mount-me; this script used 'sort +1' which is
|
|---|
| 769 | not supported by busybox; I've changed it to just plain old 'sort'
|
|---|
| 770 | - Mondo now tells Mindi whether or not to use its stock kernel
|
|---|
| 771 | - fixed bug in 'biggify-me' script; now, checksums will be verified
|
|---|
| 772 | - fixed bug in checksum comparison code (mondo-restore.c)
|
|---|
| 773 | - reimplemented '--verify' switch; now, user can verify ISO's or CD's against
|
|---|
| 774 | the live filesystem, just for 'belt and braces' emotional security
|
|---|
| 775 | - improved the error-reporting at restore-time (if tarball cannot be accessed)
|
|---|
| 776 | - if user does not specify CD-R(W) drive's speed or device then Mondo will
|
|---|
| 777 | try to locate the drive and will assume 4x speed
|

| 778 | - user may now type 'edit-mountlist' after booting, if they want to edit the
|
|---|
| 779 | mountlist without risking accidentally wiping their hard disks
|
|---|
| 780 | - fixed a few silly typos in the error messages in mondo-tarme
|
|---|
| 781 | - updated the FAQ
|
|---|
| 782 | - added code to verify ISO images
|
|---|
| 783 | - used 'blank=fast' instead of '-blank fast' for backward-compatibility with
|
|---|
| 784 | older versions of cdrecord
|
|---|
| 785 | - if nonzero value returned by Mondo, then Mondo creates a mondo.err.$$.tgz
|
|---|
| 786 | tarball containing log files & stuff, which it tells the user to e-mail me
|
|---|
| 787 | - when debugging, don't pause before running mondo-tarme; just run it
|
|---|
| 788 | - automatically exclude any file including '/vmmhiber.w9x' in its pathname
|
|---|
| 789 | - added Minix support (although I doubt anyone needs it)
|
|---|
| 790 | - ported mondo-tarme to C
|
|---|
| 791 | - prettier interface at run-time (backup), giving better feedback
|

| 792 | - obviates a mysterious, intermittent bug in bash itself
|

|
|---|
| 794 | - afio now has a 12MB FIFO buffer (was 16MB)

| 795 | - cdrecord now has a 20MB FIFO buffer (was 24MB)
|

| 796 | - wipe [CD]/usr/share/mondo, as well as floppy images, if CD #2 or later
|

| 808 | - fixed mondo-restore.c's mkreiserfs call; ditto, prep-me's mkreiserfs call
|

| 809 | - fixed mondo-restore.c's compare_a_biggiefile() subroutine, which would
|

| 818 | the dirs and mounting the partitions to them
|

| 819 | - fixed a slew of bugs related to Red Hat's LABEL= extensions
|
|---|
| 820 | - cleaned up mondo-restore.c and mondo-newt.c; replaced lots of arbitrary
|
|---|
| 821 | limits and lengths with a small number of #define's
|
|---|
| 822 | - added some sample RAID0/1/5 raidtab (config) files to restore-scripts.tgz,
|
|---|
| 823 | which will be restored to the ramdisk's /etc dir when the user boots from
|
|---|
| 824 | the CD; this will only take up an extra 50K or so & will help any user
|
|---|
| 825 | who is moving from non-RAID to RAID
|
|---|
| 826 | - changed FIFO size to 20MB
|
|---|
| 827 | - only use the VFAT kludge on /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1; otherwise, even if
|
|---|
| 828 | the partition type is VFAT, do a regular mkfs.vfat
|
|---|
| 829 | - if mkfs.vfat doesn't exist, use mkfs.dos
|
|---|
| 830 | - only try to add 'LABEL=' to ext2 and ext3 partitions
|
|---|
| 831 | - moved a bunch of scripts from Mindi's rootfs.tgz to our restore-scripts.tgz
|
|---|
| 832 | - fixed bugs in mondo-restore.c, which would sometimes just sit there when
|
|---|
| 833 | trying to compare or restore big files that were spread across CD's
|
|---|
| 834 | - Interactive Mode goes straight to 'mondo-restore --interactive' now, i.e.

| 835 | the user doesn't have to choose Interactive once at boot and once within
|
|---|
| 836 | mondo-restore

| 837 | - better post-run clean-up
|
