All releases of fsarchiver
Release Notes: This version adds support for recent brtfs filesystems (created with Linux-2.6.35). It also introduced the option to type passwords interactively instead of having to give them on the command line, which is better for security.
Release Notes: This release fixes a critial bug: the archive was corrupted when it was written on smbfs/cifs filesystems. Now it's safe to save a filesystem to a cifs share. This version also fixes compilation errors with recent kernel headers. This version is in SystemRescueCd-1.4.0-beta8.
Release Notes: Support for sparse files was added, so a sparse file on the original disk will be recreated as sparse file. Progression information was implemented for savedir/restdir. The logfile created when the -d option is used now has a unique name so that it's not overwritten. The MD5 checksums are now calculated using the implementation from libgcrypt instead of the internal one, so libgcrypt is always required. Other internal changes were made.
Release Notes: This release will not remove the archive file when savefs/savedir fails because the archive already exists. Partitions already mounted are remounted with MS_BIND to have access to files hidden by mounted filesystems. This release will analyze filesystems only when they are all accessible to prevent having to wait and then getting an error. There are many internal changes, and an improved layout on the main screen. This version comes with SystemRescueCd 1.4.0-beta2.
Release Notes: This release fixes a critical integer overflow that happened when the sum of attributes was too large. A new archive file format has been introduced, but the old format can still be read. The man page has been improved by adding examples and documenting long options. Code cleanup. Switched to pkg-config for the "./configure" script. SystemRescueCd-1.3.5-beta2 is included.
Release Notes: Management of symbolic links and problems related to memory allocation with the NTFS support were fixed. A crash when mount fails was fixed. The requirement was changed from ntfs3g-AR (advanced release) to ntfs3g-20091114 standard. The "-L" option was added to specify the label of the archive. Multiple minor improvements were made.
Release Notes: The OpenSSL implementation of the encryption has been replaced with a libgcrypt implementation to fix licensing issues with the GPL. This version is part of SystemRescueCd 1.3.1 (a live CD with system and disk tools).
Release Notes: This version comes with many improvements in the ntfs support: it nows displays the uuid in archinfo, it supports the new attributes such as system.ntfs_times, system.ntfs_dos_name, and user.ntfs.efsinfo, and detection of the ntfs-3g version was improved. Information about the minimum version required to restore a filesystem was added. A bug in 'fsarchiver probe' that ignored the first devmapper device (/dev/dm-0) was fixed.
Release Notes: This release preserves UUID with NTFS filesystems. It fixes detection of filesystems: partitions having a 0 at the end of their number were ignored. It adds distribution support files in the sources (an ebuild script for Gentoo and a spec file for RPM). It fixes licensing issues.
Release Notes: Now all the partitions are listed when a "fsarchive probe simple/detailed" command is used, not just partitions with known filesystems.
