# 235837 23-May-2012 joel

mdoc: move two sentences from synopsis to description (where they really
belong). With this change, mandoc now formats these manpages properly.


# 214132 21-Oct-2010 uqs

mdoc: make pages render with mandoc

It's a bit more pedantic regarding .Bl list elements. This has an added
benefit of unbreaking the ipfw(8) manpage, where groff was silently
skipping one list element.


# 164911 05-Dec-2006 dwmalone

Add a "-D" flag to restore which puts it into "degraded" mode. This
makes restore less efficient, but it makes a bigger effore to read
corrupted dumps. Specifiacally, when in degreded mode:

1) Restore shifts the input by 1 byte if it sees a problem,
rather than one tape block.
2) It doesn't assume the inodes are stored in ascending order.
3) It turns some panics into warning printfs.

We also verify some fields more carefully than before.

There's probably more a degreded mode could do, but this seems to
help a lot.

# 163272 12-Oct-2006 ru

Mention the -L option of dump(8) that can neutralize negative
effects of restoring dumps of live file systems.

# 151509 20-Oct-2005 dds

Remove a diagnostic message that can't occur: we lost the ability to
handle the old filesystem format on 2002/06/21.


# 143817 18-Mar-2005 imp

Sync usage and man page with reality. There's no '-c' command line
flag today. Maybe we should still retain it, but I'll let others fight
that windmill.


# 141846 13-Feb-2005 ru

Assorted markup, grammar, and spelling fixes.


# 128175 13-Apr-2004 green

Add -P arguments for dump(8) and restore(8) which allow the user to
use backup methods other than files and tapes. The -P argument is
a normal sh(1) pipeline with either $DUMP_VOLUME or $RESTORE_VOLUME
defined in the environment, respectively.

For example, I can back up my home to three DVD+R[W]s as so:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s2e 40028550 10093140 26733126 27% /home
green# dump -0 -L -C16 -B4589840 -P 'growisofs -Z /dev/cd0=/dev/fd/0' /home

De-Kerberise (KerberosIV). KerberosIV is no longer present, and
remote backups can still be done with Kerberos authentication using
SSH and Kerberos 5.

Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality

Merge from Lite2

The dump/restore folks would want to have a closer look at this, the

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
