- if user creates ISO images, the default dest dir is /root/images/mondo now
- log_it() makes sure it only writes one \

*g
*)
- partition and set type in 2-stage process (was 1-stage)
- cleaned up Compare Mode\'s logging a bit, to make it more legible

- copy mondo-restore to Mondo\'s temp dir before calling Mindi
- don\'t try to compress MP3\'s, MPG\'s, WMV\'s or RA\'s
- cleaned up mondo-newt.c; alphabetized the subroutines; moved some tools from there to mondo-tools.c
- mondo-tarme and mondo-restore are now compiled as dynamic executables; I have amended install.sh and mondo-1.31.spec accordingly
- now make boot/data floppies at end of backup, not beginning
- backup in alphabetical order now, not reverse-alpha
- if Compare Mode reports changed files /var/
* and /etc/mtab only then tell the user their archives are good despite the differneces
- cut back on excessively verbose logging at backup-time
- when vacuum-packing a partition, describe it as \"(max size)\", not \"(0 MB)\"
- if swap is already mounted, don\'t abort: just say, \'swap already mounted\'
- 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 :)
Tue Nov 27 19:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.30-1
- Updated to 1.30
- 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

- always exclude /var/log/pacct from backup
- optimal set size is now 24MB
- install.sh will abort w/error if compilation of mondo-
* fails
- after creating the mountlist, put a copy in Mondo\'s tmp directory

- tested on Linux-Mandrake 8.0 and Red Hat 7.2; backup,wipe,restore went OK
- fixed a bug in is_this_device_mounted()
- at restore-time, always check for presence of decompressor; abort if notfound
- run \'chmod -r 1777 /mnt/RESTORING/tmp\' after restoring
- fixed bugs in Compare Mode:- - missing else{} - erroneous \'cannot add archive\' error; res+=retval should have read retval+=res (Tony Kim)
- use \'umount /mnt/cdrom\' instead of \'umount /dev/cdrom\', to make it compatible with busybox\'s umount command
- fixed bug in mondo-archive which stopped Mondo from pausing to retry if the CD/ISO fails the verification phase
- modified compare_all_tarballs() in mondo-restore.c
- if running interactively then offer to modify fstab and lilo.conf if user says s/he has modified the mountlist
- if mondo-tarme segfaults (as it does, on a _very_ few systems) then Mondo picks up on the fact & reports it
- when restoring, create /mnt/RESTORING/tmp before _and_ after restoring data, just in case it is necessary; also set permissions okay

- the deprecated scripts now work with LZO
- if mondo-restore cannot mount all devices, it will _unmount_ whatever it did mount, before it returns an error
- works with Red Hat 6.2 and 2.2.19 kernel
- cosmetic change to output (no more \'burning first/last CD\' msgs)
- abort if user uses \'--use-lzo\' but doesn\'t install LZO(P) first
- changed --differential\'s \\( and \\) to ( and ) <-- thanks, Michael Moellney)
- 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 percent less time than bzip2 to compress data
- incorporated Bruno Cornec\'s \"--cd-recovery\" patch
- at restore-time, set biggiefiles to +x
- set optimal fileset size to 16MB (was 8MB)
- don\'t report non-existent differences/errors between archives and filesystem

- default scratchdir is `pwd`/mondo.scratch.$$ (was mondo.scratch)
- 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
- 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
- increase afio\'s block count from 256 to 1024 when restoring from tape
- plays nicely with devfs-enabled kernels and distros
- 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
- 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
- tape streamers are now supported; use the \'--write-tapes \' switch, e.g. --write-tapes /dev/st0 4096
- LVM support is stabilizing
- when mounting/unmounting partitions to be restored, don\'t forget to mount/unmount the swap partitions
- when zeroing a drive, use plain old C fopen/fputc/fclose, not \'dd\'
- 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
- fixed bugs in selective restoration scripts and executable
- 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
- if user tries to make a bootable rescue CD with the \'--no-bkpath\' switch then politely direct them to Mindi :-)
Thu Sep 27 20:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.15-1
- Updated to 1.15
- serialized the call to mondo-filelistchop.c; helps to improve visual feedback (yeah, sounds weird but it\'s true)

- fixed mount-me to allow for mountlists with >1 spaces between columns
- fixed documentation; param is --my-kernel , not kernel-path
- fail if user runs mondo-archive _from CD_; this is for the user\'s protection
- fixed silly bug in mount-me (a crucial line was disabled)
- working on stablilo-me, hack-lilo and hack-fstab to make sure they work with the new, busybox-based Mindi v0.41
- 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
Mon Sep 17 20:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.14-1
- Updated to 1.14
- if verify is enabled then verify each CD/ISO after writing it
- 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\'
- Mondo now tells Mindi whether or not to use its stock kernel
- fixed bug in \'biggify-me\' script; now, checksums will be verified
- fixed bug in checksum comparison code (mondo-restore.c)
- reimplemented \'--verify\' switch; now, user can verify ISO\'s or CD\'s against the live filesystem, just for \'belt and braces\' emotional security
- improved the error-reporting at restore-time (if tarball cannot be accessed)
- 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
- user may now type \'edit-mountlist\' after booting, if they want to edit the mountlist without risking accidentally wiping their hard disks
- fixed a few silly typos in the error messages in mondo-tarme
- updated the FAQ
- added code to verify ISO images
- used \'blank=fast\' instead of \'-blank fast\' for backward-compatibility with older versions of cdrecord
- 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
- when debugging, don\'t pause before running mondo-tarme; just run it
- automatically exclude any file including \'/vmmhiber.w9x\' in its pathname
- added Minix support (although I doubt anyone needs it)
- ported mondo-tarme to C - prettier interface at run-time (backup), giving better feedback - obviates a mysterious, intermittent bug in bash itself - shows \' percent done\' when burning CD
- afio now has a 12MB FIFO buffer (was 16MB)
- cdrecord now has a 20MB FIFO buffer (was 24MB)
- wipe [CD]/usr/share/mondo, as well as floppy images, if CD #2 or later
- up to 19 CD\'s may be created now
- fixed the \'stderr.txt not found\' loop error in mondo-tarme.c

- modularized the install.sh and mondo-1.14-x.i386.rpm compilation sections
Fri Aug 31 20:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.13-1
- Updated to 1.13
- fixed some compiler warnings in mondo-newt.c; rearranged some code
- mondo-tarme now uses -M 16m -t 4k in its call to afio, to improve performance
- fixed mondo-restore.c\'s mkreiserfs call; ditto, prep-me\'s mkreiserfs call
- fixed mondo-restore.c\'s compare_a_biggiefile() subroutine, which would generate erroneous error messages
- 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
- fixed \'hack-fstab\' to make sure that non-LABELed partitions are correctly moved/changed, etc.
- fixed the \'space in big filename\' bug (I think)
- make Interactive Mode sort the mountlist (by partition size) before creating the dirs and mounting the partitions to them
- fixed a slew of bugs related to Red Hat\'s LABEL= extensions
- cleaned up mondo-restore.c and mondo-newt.c; replaced lots of arbitrary limits and lengths with a small number of #define\'s
- 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
- changed FIFO size to 20MB
- only use the VFAT kludge on /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1; otherwise, even if the partition type is VFAT, do a regular mkfs.vfat
- if mkfs.vfat doesn\'t exist, use mkfs.dos
- only try to add \'LABEL=\' to ext2 and ext3 partitions
- moved a bunch of scripts from Mindi\'s rootfs.tgz to our restore-scripts.tgz
- 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
- 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
- better post-run clean-up
- improved mondo-restore.c\'s error-reporting a little bit
- stablilo-me (the script) now supports Red Hat\'s \"LABEL=\" extensions to /etc/fstab, via the script, \'label-partitions-as-necessary\'
- added a user-friendly mountlist editor to mondo-restore.c
- added lots of sanity-checking to mountlist editor
Fri Aug 17 20:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.12-1
- Updated to 1.12
- changed cdrecord\'s FIFO size to 8MB
- removed -pad and -sort from the call to mkisofs
- amended the .spec file to be saner when building RPM\'s
- archives are named \'.afio.bz2\' instead of \'.tar.bz2\'
- mondo-archive, mondo-tarme, mondo-restore.c and the DEPRECATED scripts have been amended accordingly
- should be able to create up to 20 CD-R\'s per backup set now
- moved a line within prep-me that was in the wrong place (thanks, Fran Boon!)
- runs \'df -m\' and saves it to a text file \'df.txt\' on the CD
- added 10-second delay before mondo-restore\'s Nuke Mode, to let the user abort
- really fixed the \'/mnt/RESTORING/tmp\' permissions bug (thanks, Ang Tan!)
- 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
- abort if isodir or scratchdir is a softlink
- replaced mondo-askme with a good shell script, to work around flaws in bash and/or kernel (don\'t know which)
- 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
- make+chop filelist _after_ calling Mindi
- updated the FAQ
Sat Aug 11 20:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.10-1

- 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.
- erroneous error-reporting by /mondo/biggify-me; fixed (David Granz)
- don\'t estimate the time remaining unless >20 sets processed already
- default set size (uncompressed) is now 8MB (was 12MB); when 8MB, seems to run more smoothly & a little quicker, too, at restore-time
- chmod 1777 /mnt/RESTORING/tmp after restoring/creating /tmp
- dropped mondo-askme.c; using regular \'read\' instead
- mondo-restore.c uses newt instead of ncurses; much prettier that way
- cdrecord now uses a 16MB FIFO buffer (was 8MB)
- fixed floating point error in mondo-restore (when showing progress)
- when mondo-restore is called without params (e.g. by Interactive Mode), it lets the user choose between nuke, interactive or compare (or abort)
- updated the FAQ
- working on Cuckoo Mode...
Wed Aug 1 20:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.09-1
- Updated to 1.09
- default compression level is now 3 (was 2)

- Updated to 1.08
- offer to Retry/Fail/Abort if an error occurs when Mondo tries to burn a CD-R
- warn if kernel is 2.4.[0-5] (could have buggy loopfs code)

Sat Jul 21 20:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.07-1
- Updated to 1.07
- fixed cosmetic mistake in an error msg in mondo-tarme (\'continue\'-related)
- hack-fstab now uses \"defaults 0 0\" instead of \"default 1 3\" when making a new entry in /etc/fstab
- /mondo/restore-me always makes /mnt/RESTORING/tmp; so does mondo-restore.c
- cosmetic changes to mondo-restore.c\'s screen output
- 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? :-)
- updated README (esp. FAQ) and TODO
- tested with Linux 2.4.7; works fine
- 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
- mondo-restore.c is now compiled statically
Wed Jul 18 20:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.06-1
- Updated to 1.06
- now software-RAID compatible
- install.sh only compiles mondo-restore.c once now
- if scratchdir or isodir contain more than one path (each), abort
- 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
- for each /dev/md
* device in the mountlist, run raidstop before mkraid
Sun Jul 15 20:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.05-1
- Updated to 1.05
- patch from DoJ to make install.sh compile with -O2, not -O

- cosmetic changes to mondo-restore\'s logfile output
- mondo-restore.c makes /mnt/RESTORING/tmp if necessary
- should be able to cope with Red Hat\'s \"LABEL=\" messages in /etc/fstab
Fri Jul 13 20:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.03-1
- Updated to 1.03

- abort if burning CD\'s & verify level>=2 (must be 1 or 0 if burning CD\'s)
- catch errors in MakeIsoFS, if any
- added \'mondo-restore.c\'
- C program, to replace the old restore scripts
- 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
- calls the script, \'stablilo-me\' to run LILO if desired
- added \'restore-scripts.tgz\', which contains the /mondo scripts that used to live in Mindi; now, Mindi grabs them from here if necessary
- cleared up Mode-related scripts & the executable to replace them
- if mkisofs fails, ABORT, don\'t just warn
- added \'--differential\' option, to backup the files changed during the last N days (N specified by user)
Fri Jul 6 20:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.02-1
- Updated to 1.02
- retract the CD tray after asking user to enter \'continue\' (PauseAndAskForCDR)
- 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
- when slicing, indicate progress (\"N slices...\")
- 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
*)
- default set size (native) is now 12MB
- copy /usr/share/mondo to correct directory within CD
- all calls to gawk have been replaced with calls to awk
- RPM and SRPM published
- delete $TMP at end; don\'t just delete $TMP/
*
- can accept multiple parameters in the \'--bkpath\' switch
Tue Jul 3 20:00:00 2001 Bruno Cornec 1.00-1
- Updated to 1.00
- 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)
- 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...)
- modified the --burn-cds switch; now it takes 3rd param, \'cdrw\' (optional) to let you wipe and rewrite CDRWs instead of wasting CDRs ;-)
- removed that PID thing; doesn\'t work; please don\'t run Mondo twice at once :)
- removed that \"filenames contain \'|\'\" error & associated problems
- got rid of \'UNSAFE\' warning/shortcut
- removed --xerox-dev, --include-tarball, --skip-tildes, --ide-opt, --use-bzip2
- mondo-archive doesn\'t make/hack/edit mountlist anymore; that\'s Mindi\'s job
- uses Mindi Linux to make boot disks & data disks based on your distro
- boot&data stuff goes in $scratchdir/images now
- bzip2 is used by default to compress archives
- don\'t make MD5 checksums if verify_level==0
- when archiving, make N.tar.bz2 and cklist.txt (tarball+checksums) in parallel
- 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)
- 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

Thu Aug 31 20:00:00 2000 Bruno Cornec 0.976-1
- Updated to 0.976
- 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
- extra facilities - ReiserFS support - \'--load-modules ...\' will allow you to force Mondo to load key modules at boot-time, e.g. aic7xxx for SCSI-only users
- 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)
Sun Jul 2 20:00:00 2000 Bruno Cornec 0.975-1
- Updated to 0.975
- made mondo-tarme use \'ask-me-a-question\' to pause for new, blank CD-Rs
- don\'t deeply search isodir for ISO files to wipe: maxdepth should be 1
- 386-compatible kernel and modules (should be, anyway...)
- applied Doug Nordwall\'s calc-disk-size patch to fix SCSI hdd size calc\'n bug
- applied Michael Ralph Pape\'s SCSI (2nd floppy) patch
- removed devdump from overhead-list
- mkisofs no longer called with \'-quiet\' switch
- changed \'--burn-cds\' format: now it\'s --burn-cds ()
- added \'-L\' to LILO\'s call, so that >8GB hard disks overcome 1024-blk limit
- mondo-compare runs check-mountlist-sanity before mounting partitions
- ramdisk is now 14MB
Thu Jun 15 20:00:00 2000 Bruno Cornec 0.972-1

Tue Jun 13 20:00:00 2000 Bruno Cornec 0.971-1
- Updated to 0.971
- auto-archive now passes CD size to mondo-archive
- mondo-tarme, in conjunction with auto-archive, now handles CDRW boot/burn sharing much better than before
Fri Jun 9 20:00:00 2000 Bruno Cornec 0.970-1
- Updated to 0.970
- kernel now creates 12MB ramdrive (was 16MB)
- lots of silly bugs & overhead problems fixed; 2nd floppy closer to working
- restore scripts all log to /var/log/mondo-restore.log
- 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
- selective restore is finally fixed
- nicer help screens on boot floppy
Fri Jun 2 20:00:00 2000 Bruno Cornec 0.965-1
- Updated to 0.965

- ISO images are no longer padded
- all currently-loaded modules are backed up to custom hboot.img & installed at restore-time before CD is accessed

- mondo-extras-1.5 created; excludes mondo-zfile but includes hlib.tar.bz2
- boot floppy image now includes kernel w/lots of SCSI stuff
- slice
* deleted (WipeArchives); was \'slices
*\' (bug!)
- 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
- 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
- with a little coaxing, Mondo will backup Windows-only PCs (as well as Lin/Win and Linux-only PCs)
