to define the tape size. Requires the tape driver to either return ENOSPC
at end of media, or 0 when a write is attempted (such as the "early warning"
support in st(4) enabled with "mt eew 1"). From FreeBSD.
- Fix error if first tape was write protected. Fix NetBSD PRs 4754 and 6098.
- Make dump exit codes confirm to manual page.
- Use \a instead of \7 to make noise.
- Fix estimated number of tapes for huge dumps to cartridges.
- Use <sys/queue.h> SLIST_* instead of home-rolled lists.
- Do not exit if unable to read or create /etc/dumpdates.
- Support output (tape) device returning ENOSPC for end-of-media on a write.
Fixes by me:
- Remove unused ddates_in.
- Don't dump core if SIGINFO is received before 1 second has elapsed.
- Only process SIGINFO in current "active" child.
- Don't dump core in -w if dumpdates wasn't readable and ddatev == NULL
- Minor KNF; wrap some lines
tape when a volume is full, and try to reopen the tape drive for 2 mn.
To be used with tape changers which load the next tape when the current one is
ejected.
While I'm there fix eject handling for remote tape.
- if it's a path to an unmounted file-system listed in /etc/fstab, use
that instead of assuming the user wanted a subtree dump of the parent
directory. this restores the behaviour of dump before the subtree
dumping code went in.
- if it's a path to a mounted file-system which is not in /etc/fstab,
use the info from getmntinfo(3). previously, dump would choke.
* implement error checked malloc(), calloc(), strdup(), and use
appropriately (some of the calloc()s weren't being checked)
* use 'file-system' instead of 'filesystem' in the man page
filesystem. This uses fts(3) to access the directory structure (and
not the raw device), so the standard access permissions are adhered
to (unlike dumping an entire filesystem, which just requires read
access to the raw disk device).
* Support SIGINFO status reporting.
* Remove now unused variables that previously stored the (e)uid.
* Be more informative in a couple of error messages.
