------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Jan 12 09:06:46 UTC 2024 - Johannes Meixner <jsmeix@suse.com> - GRUB_RESCUE_initrd.patch fixes CVE-2024-23301 "ReaR creates world-readable initrd with GRUB_RESCUE=Y" https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/3122 (bsc#1218728) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Feb 9 11:40:43 CET 2021 - jsmeix@suse.de - rear23a-update.patch fixes * bsc#1180295 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1180295 Disk layout is not correct on qemu VM with SCSI disk (gets falsely detected as multipath device) which is the ReaR upstream issue https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/2298 * bsc#1180819 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1180819 rear recover failed for platform pSeries (grub2-install called without option --no-nvram) which is the ReaR upstream issue https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/2554 * bsc#1180946 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1180946 'rear mkrescue' fails with "ERROR: unix exists but no module file?" it works with MODULES=( 'all_modules' ) * bsc#1178664 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1178664 ebiso silently corrupts files greater or equal 2GiB (root cause: 2GiB limit in ISO 9660 file system) which is the ReaR upstream pull request https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/2525 and the ebiso upstream issue https://github.com/gozora/ebiso/issues/12 It introduces a new ISO_FILE_SIZE_LIMIT config variable that is by default 2GiB, for details see usr/share/rear/conf/default.conf * bsc#1179966 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1179966 dump creating while verifying the vdso kernel module which is the ReaR upstream issue https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/2177 * bsc#1171751 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1171751 it could take hours if many /dev/mapper devices are present which is the ReaR upstream pull request https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/2034 - rear23a-multipath-label.patch fixes first part of bsc#1146725 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1146725 rear23a fails to restore multipath gpt partitions ... which is the ReaR upstream issue https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/2234 - rear23a-grub2-efi-install.patch fixes second part of bsc#1146725 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1146725 rear23a ... missing shim-install which is the ReaR upstream issue https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/2116 - After each update of ReaR you must thoroughly re-validate that your disaster recovery procedure still works for you, cf. "No disaster recovery without testing and continuous validation" at https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Sep 26 14:12:46 CEST 2018 - jsmeix@suse.de - Fixed regression bsc#1106776 see the ReaR upstream issue report https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1497#issuecomment-424347380 by including the change of the ReaR upstream commit https://github.com/rear/rear/commit/88f6d22a3b3812d1ca33cbf06000aafd352fabe1 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Aug 10 15:04:36 CEST 2018 - jsmeix@suse.de - Update to GitHub master from Fri Aug 10 12:36:00 2018 +0200 with latest git commit cc9e76872fb7de5ddd6be72d4008a3753046a528 to provide upstream fixes and enhancements for SLEHA15 SLEHA12 SLEHA11 (fate#323930 fate#323931 fate#323932 respectively) in particular it fixes bsc#1104499 It contains in particular (newest topmost): * Moved the functionality of 67-check-by-label-cdrom.sh into the mount_url function 'iso' case plus additional enhancements there with a user dialog if things are not o.k. to fix recovery on PPC64LE system that failed before at 'mount /dev/disk/by-label/RELAXRECOVER /tmp/rear.../outputfs' when restoring the backup when BACKUP_URL=iso:///... is used cf. https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1104499 and https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1891 and https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/326 * Avoid false alarm during md5sum verification: Now also exclude all regular files in /dev/ and /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules from md5sum verification cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1891 * Fixed that on LPAR/PPC64 PowerVM the boot devices order list was incorrectly set (via 'bootlist') when having multiple 'prep' partitions cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1886 * Fixed and enhanced the get_disk_size and get_block_size functions so that now by default blockdev is used (if exists) to retrieve the size of the disk and its block size and compute partition start using 512 bytes blocks (this is hardcoded in the Linux kernel) to fix wrong partition information when a disk has 4K block size cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1884 - Do no longer require lsb-release but only recommend it because ReaR calls /usr/bin/lsb_release only as fallback so that it is no longer strictly required, see the comments regarding it in https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1883 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Jul 30 14:55:29 CEST 2018 - jsmeix@suse.de - Update to GitHub master from Mon Jul 30 11:35:51 2018 +0200 with latest git commit d9897b3cc5a2413057834722c06b21309b593519 to provide upstream fixes and enhancements for SLEHA15 SLEHA12 SLEHA11 (fate#323930 fate#323931 fate#323932 respectively) in particular fixes for bsc#1103081 bsc#1095088 bsc#1099901 It provides the ReaR release 2.4 plus latest upstream fixes. The RPM package name rear23a and version 2.3.a are kept so that an installed rear23a RPM package can be updated. It contains in particular (newest topmost): * Now the Error function shows some of the last log messages since the last actual script got sourced that contain in particular the normal stdout and stderr messages of the last called programs to make the root cause of an error more obvious to the user without the need to analyze the log file cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1877 and the related comments near https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1875#issuecomment-407039065 * Misc improvements for Duplicity backup cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1876 and https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1879 and https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1882 * Initial tentative support for OBDR on ppc64le cf. https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1099901 and https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1868 and https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1873 * Wait for systemd-udevd to avoid broken pipe error in 40-start-udev-or-load-modules.sh cf. https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1095088 and https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1832 * Avoid duplicate UUID in boot menuentry when snapper is used cf. https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1095088 and https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1871 * Added choice to confirm identical layout mapping only once plus disabling MIGRATION_MODE during "rear recover" cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1857 * Verify md5sums of files in recovery system cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1859 Now during "rear mkrescue/mkbackup" md5sums are created for all regular files in in the recovery system and stored as /md5sums.txt in the recovery system. During recovery system startup it verifies those md5sums. Via the new config variable EXCLUDE_MD5SUM_VERIFICATION the user can specify what files should be excluded from being verified during recovery system startup or alternatively via EXCLUDE_MD5SUM_VERIFICATION='all' it can be completely skipped. * RAWDISK output portability improvements by trying several methods to make the kernel recognize partitions on the loop device that is used to create the RAWDISK image cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1846 * Fixed, simplified, and enhanced GRUB2 installation on x86 compatible and ppc64le architecture cf. https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1103081 and https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1828 and https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1843 and https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1848 Enhanced GRUB2 installation by the new config variable GRUB2_INSTALL_DEVICES so that now the user can specify what he wants if needed. In MIGRATION_MODE apply disk mappings when devices in GRUB2_INSTALL_DEVICES match, cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1437 Made the apply_layout_mappings() function and its callers behave more fail safe, cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1845 Made 250_migrate_disk_devices_layout.sh behave safer by saving restored original files before they get modified cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1847 (some other scripts that also modify restored files may also need to be adapted accordingly). * Relax-and-Recover version 2.4 release, see http://relax-and-recover.org/documentation/release-notes-2-4 * Fixed restore with disk built on multipath + md software raid cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1819 * Copy backup restore log into recreated system cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1803 * Fixed ReaR recovery when the OS contains a Thin Pool/Volume cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1806 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri May 18 14:00:16 CEST 2018 - jsmeix@suse.de - Update to GitHub master from Fri May 18 13:50:48 2018 +0200 with latest git commit e0363b07e66df0d64a4d2c61e29917b366553688 to provide upstream fixes and enhancements for SLEHA15 SLEHA12 SLEHA11 (fate#323930 fate#323931 fate#323932 respectively): It contains in particular: * Regression bugfix that makes SLES12-GA/SP0 btrfs recovery work again, cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1813 * Automatically exclude multipath devices that do not have a mounted filesystem, cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1801 * Do not start multipathd when not needed cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1804 * Improved to get multiapth partion name cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1802 * Do not print each file during TSM backup restore in main output cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1797 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Apr 27 11:31:04 CEST 2018 - jsmeix@suse.de - Update to GitHub master from Fri Apr 27 10:17:45 2018 +0200 with latest git commit 7bc086e9444b245e0c474a3acf520bd577d0f05c to provide upstream fixes and enhancements for SLEHA15 SLEHA12 SLEHA11 (fate#323930 fate#323931 fate#323932 respectively): It contains in particular: * Now by default the whole system default directory for keymaps gets included in the recovery system so that it can be used with various usual keyboards, cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1781 * Skip LUKS encrypted disks when guessing bootloader, cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1779 and fixed 'Hah!IdontNeedEFI' case when guessing bootloader, cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1780 * Fixed code that deals with the various kind of multipath device names, cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1765 * Enhanced Borg backup when destination server uses non-default SSH port, cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1785 * First draft of TSM backup (experimental) so that now a TSM backup can also be done during "rear mkbackup", cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1348 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Apr 5 15:01:35 CEST 2018 - jsmeix@suse.de - Update to GitHub master from Thu Apr 5 14:41:05 2018 +0200 with latest git commit 89a53792e0dc9cb3f20d36719203e89b2e1823cf to provide upstream fixes and enhancements for SLEHA15 SLEHA12 SLEHA11 (fate#323930 fate#323931 fate#323932 respectively): It contains in particular: * Fixed a regression where excluded swap entries got no longer disabled in disklayout.conf, cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1767#issuecomment-378919232 * Automatically exclude file systems under control by docker, cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1749 * Update hp_raid-functions.sh and 270_hpraid_layout.sh because in HP's SPP (Service Pack for Proliant) the hpacucli/hpssacli is now (recognised with Version 3.10) called "ssacli" and the installation directory and variable have been renamed into SSACLI_BIN_INSTALLATION_DIR=/opt/smartstorageadmin/ssacli/bin/ cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1760 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Mar 15 14:38:56 CET 2018 - jsmeix@suse.de - Update to GitHub master from Thu Mar 15 08:57:59 2018 +0100 with latest git commit 17c3e340014d7409c18afae77a58f8949c617df3 to provide upstream enhancements for SLEHA15 SLEHA12 SLEHA11 (fate#323930 fate#323931 fate#323932 respectively): It contains in particular: * In migration mode let the user confirm at beginning of the finalize stage that the up to that point recreated system (recreated disk layout plus restored backup) is OK to run the finalize stage (recreate the initrd and reinstall the bootloader). In case of a changed disk layout config files that were restored from the backup could contain outdated content which may need manual adaptions before the initrd gets recreated and the bootloader gets reinstalled. In particular in case of a changed disk layout the restored etc/fstab could be outdated and needs manual adaptions see https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1758 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Mar 9 12:27:48 CET 2018 - jsmeix@suse.de - Update to GitHub master from Fri Mar 9 11:47:24 2018 +0100 with latest git commit 84f7813a0a79b4e3cbac6a4d847ba91229a4183a to provide upstream bugfixes for SLEHA15, SLEHA12, and SLEHA11 (fate#323930 fate#323931 fate#323932 respectively): It contains in particular fixes for the below described "Major rework and changed default behaviour how ReaR behaves in migration mode when partitions can or must be resized to fit on replacement disks with different size" where "rear recover" may have aborted falsely and silently see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1747 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Mar 6 16:29:44 CET 2018 - jsmeix@suse.de - Update to GitHub master from Tue Mar 6 14:25:21 2018 +0100 with latest git commit 10f46ed40045cda8caca191382e4de9175c99db8 that contains the following major changes since ReaR version 2.3 to provide bugfixes and enhancements for SUSE Linux Enterprise (fate#323930 ReaR for use with SAP HANA on POWER on SLEHA15) (fate#323931 ReaR for use with SAP HANA on POWER on SLEHA12) (fate#323932 ReaR for use with SAP HANA on POWER on SLEHA11): * Major rework and changed default behaviour how ReaR behaves in migration mode when partitions can or must be resized to fit on replacement disks with different size, see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1731 and the related issue https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/102 The new default behaviour is that only the partition end value of the last partition on a disk (and therefore its size) may get changed if really needed but no partition start value gets changed to avoid changes of the partition alignment. The new 420_autoresize_last_partitions script implements the new behaviour and the old 400_autoresize_disks was renamed into 430_autoresize_all_partitions to still provide the old behaviour if that is explicitly requested by the user but the old behaviour may result unexpected changes of arbitrary partitions on a disk. The new config variables AUTORESIZE_PARTITIONS AUTORESIZE_EXCLUDE_PARTITIONS AUTOSHRINK_DISK_SIZE_LIMIT_PERCENTAGE AUTOINCREASE_DISK_SIZE_THRESHOLD_PERCENTAGE determine how ReaR behaves in migration mode when partitions can or must be resized. With AUTORESIZE_PARTITIONS='yes' the old behaviour is done. With AUTORESIZE_PARTITIONS='no' no partition gets resized. With the default AUTORESIZE_PARTITIONS='' at most the last active partition on each active disk gets resized but only if really needed which also depends on the settings of the other config variables above. For details see default.conf and the two 'autoresize' scripts. For some examples see https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1733 * New ReaR recovery system network setup script generator: A full rewrite of rescue/GNU/Linux/310_network_devices.sh that generates the recovery system network setup script (etc/scripts/system-setup.d/60-network-devices.sh) that is run during the ReaR recovery system startup. Now it also handles some corner cases and odd setups that can be found from time to time, typically when the administrator uses bonding + bridges + vlans and teaming. Also interface mapping code is added to the corresponding rescue/GNU/Linux/350_routing.sh script generating the routing setup script etc/scripts/system-setup.d/62-routing.sh that is run during the ReaR recovery system startup. * During ReaR recovery system startup skip 62-routing.sh if default gateway is already set in 60-network-devices.sh plus some other minor cleanups and enhancements that are related to the recovery system kernel parameters ip=... nm=... netdev=... gw=... * Simpler and more fail-safe SLE btrfs-example.conf files: Simpler findmnt command example in the comment and more fail-safe BACKUP_PROG_INCLUDE example arrays that contains now plain directories /dir instead of '/dir/*' so that now also the directory itself and dot-files /dir/.file get included in the tar backup archive, see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1714 * Clean termination of ReaR's descendant processes to fix https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1712 * Fixed support for GPT partition names with blanks and/or other non-alphanumeric ASCII characters but UTF-8 encoded GPT partition names are still not supported. * New initial support for TCG Opal 2-compliant self-encrypting disks and RAWDISK output. * Simplified TSM dsmc restore backup code to be more fail-safe. * Fixes and enhancements for Duplicity backup support. * Added basic support for EMC Avamar backup. * Enhanced Borg backup support. * Initial support for ARM: It should work with Raspberry Pis, most TI and Allwinner devices. Currently only OUTPUT=PXE is supported. You need to manually craft a bootable disk with the kernel and initrd. Automatic bootloader detection is not implemented. You need to set BOOTLOADER to either "ARM", which is a dummy and does nothing, or "ARM-ALLWINNER" which will backup and restore the Allwinner bootloader. For Raspberry and most TI devices it should be enough to include the first fat partition (containing the MLO or bootcode.bin) in the backup to backup the bootloader. Currently it was tested only on an Allwinner PcDuino. Testing and adaptions for other ARM devices is needed, see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1197 * Initial support for YUM+backup: YUM+backup adds the ability to backup and restore files to the YUM method, see https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1740 This is a continuation of the YUM backup method, see https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1464 The YUM method, like the ZYPPER method, recreates the target system from scratch using a list of RPMs captured from the source system. The only files backed up via YUM+backup are those which were either not provided by RPM packages or were provided by RPM packages, but have been modified. This minimizes the number of files included in the backup while still capturing every file on the system not explicitly excluded using options like BACKUP_PROG_EXCLUDE, EXCLUDE_MOUNTPOINTS, etc. For details see the new configuration options in default.conf for the YUM method and the new documentation of the YUM and ZYPPER methods in doc/user-guide/14-ZYPPER-and-YUM.adoc In particular ZYPPER+backup is not supported. Currently there is only some very basic, initial, and experimental support for a plain ZYPPER method. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jan 9 16:02:22 CET 2018 - jsmeix@suse.de - New package rear23a for SUSE Linux Enterprise (fate#323930 ReaR for use with SAP HANA on POWER on SLEHA15) (fate#323931 ReaR for use with SAP HANA on POWER on SLEHA12) (fate#323932 ReaR for use with SAP HANA on POWER on SLEHA11) which is the current upstream ReaR 2.3 release where the package name "rear23a" is already prepared to make future SUSE specific adaptions and enhancements possible if needed (see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/666) so that adaptions and enhancements could be provided independent of other ReaR packages like "rear118a" see the "Warning for users who upgrade Relax-and-Recover" in the entry below dated "Thu Oct 8 11:04:18 CEST 2015". ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Dec 21 13:28:39 CET 2017 - jsmeix@suse.de - Using newest rear-2.3.tar.gz tarball from sourceforge cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1656 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Dec 20 16:56:11 CET 2017 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 2.3 (fate#323930 fate#323931 fate#323932) New features and bigger enhancements: * First steps towards running ReaR unattended in general * SSH support in the recovery system is now secure by default * Improved verification of the recovery system contents * ReaR is now more safe against recreating on a wrong disk Possibly backward incompatible changes: * In addition to STDERR now also STDOUT is redirected into the log file so that when programs prompt via STDOUT to get input the program's prompt could be no longer visible to the user * There are no longer private SSH keys in the recovery system by default and a RSA key is generated from scratch when starting sshd during recovery system startup so that it does no longer work by default to use SSH in the recovery system via the SSH keys that exist on the original system * By default it is now fatal when 'ldd' reports a 'not found' library for any file in a /bin/ or /sbin/ directory in the recovery system so that now 'rear mkrescue/mkbackup' may fail where it had (blindly) worked before * Improved autodetection when the disk layout looks ambiguous. Now 'rear recover' switches by default more often into the MIGRATION_MODE where manual disk layout configuration happens via several user dialogs so that by default 'rear recover' shows more often user dialogs A detailed list can be found in the rear-release-notes.txt file ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Jul 26 12:58:25 CEST 2017 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 2.2 A detailed list can be found in the rear-release-notes.txt file. Changes include (excerpt): * Let the get_disk_size() function retry several times to be more fail-safe when udev needs some time until device files appear. This introduces the new generic helper function retry_command() plus the new config variables REAR_SLEEP_DELAY and REAR_MAX_RETRIES. For details see default.conf and lib/layout-functions.sh (issue #1370) * ReaR failed to continue due incorrect check of presence of USB device (REAR-000) in /proc/mounts, despite foregoing script (060_mount_NETFS_path.sh) did mounting of this device (issue #1415) * Add missing privilege separation dir to start sshd on Debian 9 (issue #1381) * Redirect rsync verbose output to backup log (issue #1387) * Load storage controllers in rescue system in same order as on host system (issue #1384): Copy over modules from initrd on SUSE LINUX and prevent sorting of MODULES_LOAD array to keep the order intended. * Add /yaboot to ISO_FILE when running SUSE ppc64 (issue #1414) * Add SSL cert directories so we can interact with Google Cloud Storage (issue #1402) * Modified the "unattended" into "automatic" with ISO_DEFAULT required for automated recovery tests (issue #1397) * Use the original fds when ReaR was launched (which are now saved as fd6, fd7, and fd8 for stdin, stdout, and stderr respectively) for actually intended user input and user output. To keep backward compatible behaviour all old deprecated usage of '>&8' is converted into '>/dev/null' but /dev/null usage in general should be cleaned up later (issues #887, #1395) * Added new generic UserInput and UserOutput plus LogUserOutput functions that are intended to replace current user input functionality that calls select or read directly. For the next ReaR version 2.3 it is planned to also redirect stdout into the log file in addition to stderr (issues #885, #1366, #1398, #1399) * The 'make rpm' now relies on 'make srpm' which creates the src.rpm package first. This src.rpm package can then be easily copied to another computer to rebuild a rpm package from it without needed the sources itself (or git checkout) (issue #1389) * Replaced some perl regexp with grep native extended regexp (issue #1376) * Introducing SECURE_BOOT_BOOTLOADER variable in default.conf This variable should enable users booting with Secure Boot, to use whatever custom signed boot loader they like, and removes hard coded entry "shim.efi" from ReaRs code (issue #1374) * Enhanced and cleaned up making ISO on POWER (ppc64/ppc64le). Now the backup can be stored in the ISO (via BACKUP_URL=iso...) and even multiple ISOs work on POWER now (issues #697, #1383) * Create multipath.conf only during migration (from non-mulitpath to multipath), and always copy /etc/multipath/bindings to the TARGET_FS_ROOT (issues #1382, #1393) - Version upgrade to 2.1 A detailed list can be found in the rear-release-notes.txt file. Changes include (excerpt): * Support for Grub2 installation with software RAID1 on Linux on POWER (ppc64/ppc64le) (issue #1369) * REBUILD_INITRAMFS variable was introduced. The new default.conf setting REBUILD_INITRAMFS="yes" rebuilds the initramfs/initrd during "rear recover" to be more on the safe side. With REBUILD_INITRAMFS="" the old behaviour can still be specified (issue #1321) * ISO_RECOVER_MODE=unattended mode (issue #1351) - required for automated ReaR testing with OUTPUT=ISO * MODULES variable supports now special values like 'all_modules', 'loaded_modules', 'no_modules' (issues #1202, #1355) * Include systemd/network to preserve "Predictable Network Interface Names" (issue #1349) * Various improvements regarding multipath (issues #1190, #1309, #1310, #1311, #1314, #1315, #1324, #1325, #1328, #1329, #1344, #1346) * Show OUTPUT variables in rear dump (issue #1337) * Added support for "grub PXE style" via PXE_CONFIG_GRUB_STYLE and PXE_TFTP_IP on non x86 platform (issue #1339) * Try 'wipefs -force' and use 'dd' as fallback to better clean up disk partitions (issue #1327) * Reorganized "finalize" scripts ordering and cleanup of the PPC bootloader installation (issue #1323) * Avoid long default wait in 'dig' when DNS servers are not set (issue #1319) * Fail-safe calculations in partitioning code (issues #1269, #1307) * Improved support on ppc/ppc64/ppc64le architectures (issues #1178, #1311, #1313, #1322) * Define hostname in both /etc/HOSTNAME and /etc/hostname in rescue image (for Arch) (issue #1316) * Rename network interface when MAC not present in udev (issue #1312) * Added support for 'nano' editor (in addition to 'vi') (issues #1298, #1306) * mmcblk disk types are now supported (issues #1301, #1302) * NETFS_RESTORE_CAPABILITIES variable was introduced to restore file capabilities in a proper way (issue #1283) * Added required libs and files for 'curl' with HTTPs by default (issues #1267, #1279) * More precise XFS file system creation during rear recover (issues #1208, #1213, #1276) * DRLM management and security improvements (issue #1252) * Improved BOOTLOADER support (issue #1242) * DRLM support for multiple backups via multiple config files (issue #1229) * FIRMWARE_FILES support to exclude firmware files in rescue image to reduce the size of image (issue #1216) * Enable SELinux in the rescue image for tar internal backup method if BACKUP_SELINUX_DISABLE=0 (issue #1215) * BOOT_OVER_SAN is now fully supported (issues #1190, #1309, #1314, #1315, #1325, #1329, #1344) * NVME disks are now fully supported (issue #1191) * Some initial basic support for new backup type ZYPPER was added (issues #1085, #1209) * Finding UEFI boot loaders on non standard places (issues #1204, #1225, #1293) * The USB UEFI partition size USB_UEFI_PART_SIZE for kernel image has been increased from 100 to 200 MB (issue #1205) * REAR_INITRD_COMPRESSION variable was introduced to specify initrd compression (e.g. 'lzma' for PPC64) (issues #1142, #1218, #1290) * New backup type BLOCKCLONE was added to backup non-Linux partitions (e.g. Windows NTFS partitions) (issues #1078, #1162, #1172, #1180) * Bareos 16.2 is now supported (issue #1169) * New USB_PARTITION_ALIGN_BLOCK_SIZE and USB_DEVICE_FILESYSTEM_PARAMS variables were added (issue #1217) * Improved the USB backup selection menu during the recovery via USB (issue #1166) * USB_SUFFIX variable was introduced to align backup on USB with backup on NFS (issues #1164, #1160, #1145) * Forbid incremental backup to work on BACKUP_URL=usb:// (issue #1146) * The USB_DEVICE_PARTED_LABEL=gpt setting is now honered while formatting the USB disk (issue #1153) - Version upgrade to 2.0 Backward incompatible change: ReaR 2.00 introduced the 3-digits scripts instead of the 2-digits script. This means all scripts must begin with 3 digits, e.g. 010-my-script.sh instead of 10-my-script. Therefore, if you wrote your own scripts make sure to renumber these. A detailed list can be found in the rear-release-notes.txt file. Changes include (excerpt): * Bareos support: add missing directory /var/run/bareos in recovery system (issue #1148) * Forbid BACKUP_URL=usb for BACKUP_TYPE=incremental/differential (issues #1141 and #1145) * Improved and added new example configurations (issue #1068, #1058) * Modified/Improved the exit code messages of ReaR (issues #1089, #1133) * Fix documentation regarding OUTPUT_URL=null (issues #734, #1130) * Better and fail safe progress messages while tar backup restore (issue #1116) * Implement simulation mode with simulation with the workflows validate and shell (issue #1098) * Update 11-multiple-backups.adoc : Multiple backups are in general not supported for BACKUP_TYPE=incremental or BACKUP_TYPE=differential (issues #1074 and #1123) * Using RUNTIME_LOGFILE in all scripts as needed (issue #1119) * New Backup method was added - BORG (issues #1030, #1037, #1046, #1048, #1118) * Multiple backups are now possible (issues #1088, #1102, #1096) see the documentation page (New) * Support partitioning and formatting huge USB devices (issue #1105) * Skip remount async when systemd is used (issue #1097) * Fixed and enhanced code for multiple ISOs (issue #1081) * BACKUP_TYPE=incremental (New) and BACKUP_TYPE=differential were updated (issues #974, #1069) * Added support for setting a UUID on XFS with enabled CRC (RHEL 7) (issue #1065) * Fix for ISO not bootable for SLES11 ppc64 with root LVM (issue #1061) * PXE booting enhancement with new style of uploading the boot files (issue #193) * Renumbering the ReaR scripts from 2-digits to 3-digits (issue #1051) * Improved boot loader detection (issue #1038) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Nov 22 07:05:55 UTC 2016 - ecsos@opensuse.org - Version upgrade to 1.19 A detailed list can be found in the rear-release-notes.txt file. Changes include (excerpt): * Save bootloader info from POWER architecture and rebuild initrd after migration (issues #1029, #1031) * Improved documentation and man page in general (issues #918, #930, #1004, #1007, #1008) * New SLE12-SP2-btrfs-example.conf file because since SLES12-SP2 btrfs quota setup for snapper via "snapper setup-quota" is needed (issue #999) * Simplified reboot halt poweroff and shutdown in the rescue/recovery system in case of systemd (issue #953) * If TSM parameters contain a dot, the dot is replaced by an underscore in the TSM_SYS variable names (issue #985 and #986) * Check if /dev/disk/by-label/RELAXRECOVER exist (issue #979 and #326) * Added PRE_BACKUP_SCRIPT and POST_BACKUP_SCRIPT to be able to do custom tasks in the mkbackup/mkbackuponly workflows (issue #977) * Make TMPDIR work in compliance with Unix standards (issue #969) * USE_STATIC_NETWORKING now really overrides USE_DHCLIENT (issue #964) * Make it safe against wrong btrfs subvolumes on SLES12 (issue #963, #966) * Encrypted incremental backup cannot read the tar label (issue #952) * Introduction of the NETWORKING_PREPARATION_COMMANDS variable to prepare network setup in the rescue/recovery system (issue #960) * After migration fs_uuid for root partition wasn't changed in ELILO config file /etc/elilo.conf (issue #956) * Clarified rear man page and default.conf file around BACKUP_URL=rsync: (issues #930 and #918) * Make "rear recover" work with default btrfs on SLES12-SP2 (issue #944) * Dropped GRUB_SUPERUSER and GRUB_RESCUE_PASSWORD to avoid that GRUB_RESCUE could change the behaviour of the GRUB2 bootloader in the currently running system in unexpected ways. With the new optional GRUB_RESCUE_USER setting GRUB_RESCUE works in compliance with the existing GRUB2 configuration (issues #938, #942) * Bail out if not enough disk space for GRUB and GRUB2 rescue image (issue #913) * Use BACKUP_PROG_COMPRESS_OPTIONS as an array so that one can use it to provide more complex values (issue #904) * Add /usr/lib/syslinux/bios to the search path for mbr.bin (issue #908) * Always load modules in /etc/modules (issue #905) * Ask user for EFI partition size on USB disk (issue #849) * Insure /etc/rear/mappings directory exists before doing a recovery (issue #861) * First steps for rescue/recovery system update support via RECOVERY_UPDATE_URL (issue #841) * NFS mount points are not recreated after a recover (issue #818) * Correcting rear return code handling in auto recover mode (issue #893) * Added NFSv4 support for security 'sys' only so far (issue #754) * Changed the usage of 'rpcinfo -p' a bit to have the same outcome of different Linux flavours (issue #889) * RSYNC: /boot/efi needs -relative rsync option (issue #871) * New variables added for Bareos: BAREOS_RESTORE_JOB and BAREOS_FILESET * Multipath partition not found in rhel7.2 (issue #875) * Adding support for ppc64le PowerNV (non-virtualized aka Bare-Metal) (issue #863) * First steps to support new ftpfs BACKUP_URL scheme (issue #845) * Clean up 'url_host()' (issue #856) * Fix that libaio (needed for multipath) could be missing in rescue/recovery system because libaio can be located in different directories (issue #852) * Improved the Relax-and-Recover menu for GRUB2 (issues #844, #849, #850) * Check for valid BACKUP_URL schemes (issue #842) * USB UEFI boot support (issue #831) * Mitigate the problem that btrfs subvolums are not restored by default via TSM (issue #833) * Determine EFI virtual disk size automatically (issue #816) * ebiso image size is too small if BACKUP=TSM (issue #811) * Improving the logics around ebiso usage in UEFI mode (issue #801) * Fix for wrong UUID in initrd for bootfs (issues #649 and #851) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Sep 28 11:37:23 CEST 2016 - jsmeix@suse.de - Update to GitHub master from Wed Sep 28 11:29:55 2016 +0200 with latest Git commit 35975dfbaa08978a91b8591073d8dc3821a79a4c that fixes the reboot halt poweroff and shutdown commands that did no longer work in the rear recovery system with newest systemd/systemctl (e.g. in SLE12-SP2 and FC24), see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/953 (bsc#1001629). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Sep 26 11:51:53 CEST 2016 - jsmeix@suse.de - Update to GitHub master from Fri Sep 23 12:37:17 2016 +0200 with latest Git commit 6c31e79dc6a21b891ee644f3ffacd22761b698f9. This is mainly a cosmetical and documentation update. It is primarily intended to make a better (first) impression. It fixes misspelled forms of 'SUSE' and 'Relax-and-Recover' and has more clear documentation regarding "BACKUP_TYPE=incremental" (because our automated "sle-changelog-checker" requires a SUSE-specific ID - voila - here you are: bsc#999227). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Sep 20 13:21:17 CEST 2016 - jsmeix@suse.de - Update to GitHub master from Tue Sep 20 12:46:33 2016 +0200 with latest Git commit 77b346ccce00b1a7dcda5e8b236ca0dd66f49af3. It contains Git commit 90a03db45b27a4cae067af4127d3f4c0e7d0f30e that added SLE12-SP2-btrfs-example.conf that contains a POST_RECOVERY_SCRIPT that implements btrfs quota setup for snapper if that is used in the original system, see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/999 (bsc#999227). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Aug 18 15:27:02 CEST 2016 - jsmeix@suse.de - Update to GitHub master from Wed Aug 17 15:01:46 2016 +0200 with latest Git commit 86240b05983ffe33a936de966f145e118745899f. It contains Git commit a4443a53dcb2399b8f1d04d6c6873944ab5597ed that makes it working in general more fail-safe against wrong btrfs subvolumes on SLE12. Now snapper's own subvolumes and falsely created normal subvolumes below snapper's base subvolume are automatically excluded from being recreated by listing them only as comments in disklayout.conf during "rear mkbackup". Furthermore if such subvolumes are active in disklayout.conf (e.g. because the user has manually activated them) they are skipped during "rear recover" plus LogPrint info for the user, see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/963. For example systemd may create such wrong btrfs subvolumes namely @/.snapshots/1/snapshot/var/lib/machines (cf. below) see http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2015-07/msg00591.html which was rediscovered as bsc#992573. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Aug 4 10:52:47 CEST 2016 - jsmeix@suse.de - Update to GitHub master from Wed Aug 3 16:19:22 2016 +0200 with latest Git commit 01f35154b35de0d4829cfe2a5502d4f839c27d45 that should make 'rear recover' work on SLE12-SP2 with the default btrfs subvolume structure on SLE12-SP2 because at least the default btrfs subvolume structure on SLE12-SP2-beta5 is not sufficiently backward compatible with the default btrfs subvolume structure on SLE12-SP1 (there is the additional btrfs normal subvolume @/.snapshots/1/snapshot/var/lib/machines), see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/944 (see also bsc#990675). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue May 10 11:01:11 CEST 2016 - jsmeix@suse.de - Update to GitHub master from Tue May 10 11:01:47 CEST 2016 with Git commit bd3d2ac41c7ed04352abd28de16b9493aff40683 that removed the outdated and leftover EXCLUDE_RECREATE from the btrfs example config files SLE12-SP1-btrfs-example.conf and SLE12-btrfs-example.conf because excluding btrfs subvolumes via EXCLUDE_RECREATE was only needed in our SLE12-specific RPM package "rear116" (with special adaptions for btrfs support) but it leads to falsely excluded btrfs subvolumes from the backup (and restore) for all newer rear versions (i.e. since rear 1.17), see the GitHub issue 821 https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/821 in particular see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/821#issuecomment-215071027 (because our automated "sle-changelog-checker" requires a SUSE-specific ID - voila - here you are: bsc#946389). This means users who use btrfs and upgrade from our SLE12-specific RPM package "rear116" to a newer rear version must manually adapt their /etc/rear/local.conf file. This is a good example for what is documented in the section "Rear Version Updates" in our SLE12-HA manual and online at "Version upgrades with Relax-and-Recover (rear)" in https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery that reads (excerpt): "For each rear version upgrade and for each change of a software that is used by rear you must carefully and completely re-validate that your particular disaster recovery procedure still works for you." ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Apr 13 14:30:31 CEST 2016 - jsmeix@suse.de - New package rear118a for SUSE Linux Enterprise (fate#319332). It is the upstream GitHub master from Wed Apr 13 14:00 CEST 2016 (latest Git commit 11eb7d19e5484c19783b86a705bc3aeed34b250c) that is rear version 1.18 plus enhancements regarding ebiso mainly let rear determine EFI virtual disk size automatically (cf. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/810). ebiso is used since rear version 1.18 for making a UEFI bootable rear recovery system ISO image on SUSE Linux Enterprise systems (see also bsc#931824). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Mar 22 10:36:19 CET 2016 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 1.18 A detailed list can be found in the rear-release-notes.txt file. Changes include (excerpt): * Support was added for NVME SSD type of disk devices (issue #787) * Script 99_sysreqs.sh was added to save the minimal system requirements necessary for cloning a system in a remote DRP data center (issue #798) * New 99_move_away_restored_files.sh to remove restored files after recover (issue #799) New array was introduced to make this - BACKUP_RESTORE_MOVE_AWAY_FILES=() * Add example configuration for NetBackup Master/Media server * Added backup capabilities; getcap and setcap are used to backup and restore (issue #771) * Added support for new backup method Novastor NovaBACKUP DC (+BACKUP=NBKDC+) (issue #669) * Code was improved to have network teaming support (issue #655) * Example configuration to put backup and rescue image on same ISO image, eg. DVD (issue #430) * /mnt/local became a global variable TARGET_FS_ROOT (issue #708) * Copy rear.log from recovery into /var/log/rear/recovery/ directory after "rear recover" (issue #706) * wipefs will be used when available (issue #649) * SAN related improvements with btrfs (issue #695) * Support for shim.efi (UEFI booting) added (issue #702) * Added support for elilo (used by SLES 11/12) (issue #583, #691, #692, #693) * Bareos team added BAREOS_FILESET and ISO_DEFAULT to default.conf (for automated DR tests executed by Bareos team; issue #686, #719) * New SLE11-SLE12-SAP-HANA-UEFI-example.conf (issue #683) * usr/share/rear/conf/examples/SLE12-SP1-btrfs-example.conf added as an example configuration file * Added support for the SUSE specific gpt_sync_mbr partitioning scheme (issue #544) * Improved btrfs snapshot support with SLES 12 (issue #556) * Unload scsi_debug driver in recovery mode (issue #626) * Saved the current mount points and permissions; in order to improve and avoid missing mount points after recovery (issue #619) * grub support for ppc64 (issue #673) * grub2 supported was added for ppc64 (issue #672) * ppc64le support was added into the rear.spec (issue #665) * Network code partially rewritten to improve teaming (issue #662) * Changed default value of USE_CFG2HTML from 1 to empty (means do not run cfg2html by default) (issue #643) * Move the 50_selinux_autorelabel.sh script to the default location so it gets picked up by all backup methods. This was required for RHEL 7 (issue #650) * Check via NSR if the ISO image is not obsolete (issue #653) * Added ebiso support within rear (required for UEFI booting with SLES 11 & 12 (issue #657) * FDR/Upstream (BACKUP=FDRUPSTREAM) (NEW!) (issue #659) - SLE11-ext3-example.conf, SLE12-SP1-btrfs-example.conf, and SLE12-btrfs-example.conf are now provided in the upstream sources. - SLE12-SP1-btrfs.patch and rear1172a-gpt_sync_mbr.patch are obsolete because it is now implemented in the upstream sources. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Nov 3 15:00:49 CET 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de - Create a separate directory /usr/share/rear/conf/examples/ for example config files, see https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/681 and install the SUSE example config files there - i.e.: /usr/share/rear/conf/examples/SLE11-ext3-example.conf /usr/share/rear/conf/examples/SLE12-btrfs-example.conf /usr/share/rear/conf/examples/SLE12-SP1-btrfs-example.conf ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Oct 28 15:27:59 CET 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de - rear1172a-gpt_sync_mbr.patch adds support for the SUSE specific gpt_sync_mbr partitioning see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/544 (bsc#950610). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Oct 16 13:02:44 CEST 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de - Enhanced SLE12-SP1-btrfs.patch so that for mounted btrfs subvolumes that have the 'no copy on write' attribute set those btrfs subvolumes are recreated with that attribute set (by using 'chattr' on the btrfs subvolume directory), see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/556 (bsc#946006 fate#318701). - Enhanced SLE12-SP1-btrfs-example.conf so that also lsattr is in the recovery system (useful but not strictly required). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Oct 8 11:04:18 CEST 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version 1.17.2.a is rear 1.17.2 with SLE12-SP1-btrfs.patch that makes it work specifically for the default btrfs structure in SLE12-SP1, see https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/556 (bsc#946006 fate#318701). - SLE12-SP1-btrfs-example.conf is an example for SLE12-SP1 with default btrfs subvolumes that gets installed as /usr/share/rear/conf/SLE12-SP1-btrfs-example.conf - Warning for users who upgrade Relax-and-Recover (rear): Users who already use it must re-validate that their particular disaster recovery procedure still works. See in particular "Version upgrades" at http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery Automatic version upgrades are not possible in practice. The user must explicitly specify his intended rear version. For one product like SLE11 or SLE12 we provide several versions in parallel so that users where version N does not support their particular needs can upgrade to version M but on the other hand users who have a working disaster recovery procedure with version N do not need to upgrade. Therefore the package name contains the version and all packages conflict with each other to avoid that an installed version gets accidentally replaced with another version. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Sep 7 12:42:05 CEST 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de - Update to version 1.17.2 * Fixed the NTP startup script (issue #641) * Fixed the vfat label issue (issue #647) * Improved the DUPLICITY method with finding all required libraries and python scripts * Added the /run directory to the list of recreating missing directories (issue #619) * Fix issue with USB disk and rsync as internal backup program (issue #645) * Fix rsync restore: -anchored invalid rsync option (issue #642) * A new variable was introduced NSR_POOLNAME (issue #640) * Replaced almost all temporary files from /tmp/ to $TMP_DIR/ (issue #607) Related to security recommendations for Fedora and RHEL: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1239009 (f22) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1238843 (rhel 7.2) * In script 27_hpraid_layout.sh added the missing HPSSACLI_BIN_INSTALLATION_DIR variable to the COPY_AS_IS array (issue #630) * Syslinux version > 5.00 is now supported (ISO and USB output) works on Debian 8, Ubuntu 15.04 (issue #624) * Bail out when syslinux/modules are not found in lib/ bootloader-functions.sh (issues #467 and #596) You could also define a variable SYSLINUX_MODULES_DIR if rear cannot find it automatically (should not be necessary) * Support was added for SLES11 on PPC64 hardware (issues #616 and #628) * Support was added for new hardware - PPC64LE - RHEL and Ubuntu (issue # 627) * FIX the hashed password (SSH_ROOT_PASSWORD variable) and added a missing library libfreeblpriv3 (issue #560) * Insert a 3 seconds sleep after a volume group restauration to give udevd or systemd-udevd time to create needed devices (issue #608 and #617) * Variable MANUAL_INCLUDE=YES has been introduced to work with array BACKUP_PROG_INCLUDE (issue #597) * Add new variable NSR_DEFAULT_POOL_NAME (defaulting to Default) to use a different default pool name. Renamed the RETENTION_TIME variable to NSR_RETENTION_TIME (issue #640) * new document 10-integrating-external-backup.adoc which explains the steps to take for a new backup integration into rear * All AsciiDoc documentation changed extention from .txt to .adoc - Known restrictions on openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise (in general see https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery): * rear 1.17.2 will not work with default btrfs on SLES12-SP1 because support for btrfs in rear explicitly excludes snapshot subvolumes but on SLES12-SP1 what is mounted at '/' will be a btrfs snapshot subvolume (issue #556) * rear 1.17.2 does not work with UEFI because of various different reasons (issues #588 #585 #583 #229 #214) * rear does not support partitions of type 'gpt_sync_mbr' aka. 'hybrid (synced) MBR' (issue #544) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Sep 3 15:55:49 CEST 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de - Use "ExclusiveArch: %ix86 x86_64 ppc ppc64 ppc64le" instead of "BuildArch: noarch" in the spec file. rear contains only bash scripts plus documentation so that on first glance it could be "BuildArch: noarch" but actually it is not "noarch" because it only works on those architectures that are explicitly supported. Of course the rear bash scripts can be installed on any architecture just as any binaries can be installed on any architecture. But the meaning of architecture dependent packages should be on what architectures they will work. Therefore only those architectures that are actually supported are explicitly listed. This avoids that rear can be "just installed" on architectures that are actually not supported (e.g. ARM or IBM z Systems). Furthermore for some architectures it requires architecture dependent packages (like syslinux for x86 and x86_64) so that rear must be architecture dependent. See the GitHub issue https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/629 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jun 30 13:57:05 CEST 2015 - jsmeix@suse.de - Update to version 1.17.1 * Removed the plain password in the logs (and output) coming from BACKUP_PROG_CRYPT_KEY to avoid crib (issue #568) * Mount vfat file system without special mount options seems to work much better then with these options in recovery mode, therefore, we do not use these anymore (especially for /boot/efi) (issue #576) * Elilo support has been added for SLES (not fully tested yet) - issue #583 * Grub2 rescue menu has been added (enable this feature with GRUB_RESCUE=y) - issue #589 * splitted script 31_include_uefi_tools.sh in two pieces: 31_include_uefi_tools.sh: to grab the UEFI tools (as long as /boot/efi is mounted), and 32_include_uefi_env.sh: to dig deeper into the configuration when UEFI is active (related to issue #214). This is necessary to have to UEFI tools on SLES 11/12 where we cannot create an UEFI bootable ISO image. We must boot in BIOS mode, and need the UEFI tools to make the system bootable over UEFI. * It is now possible to format an USB disk with a vfat and ext3 partition (for UEFI booting) - issue #593 rear -v format -- --efi /dev/<usbdevice> However, UEFI booting from an USB disk has not been implemented yet (sponsoring?). * Simplified the code for ext* fs and added StopIfError calls to prevent divide by zero during recovery (issue #598) * Syslinux version >6 requires some special handling due to splitting up the package (Ubuntu 15.04) (issue #584) * Debian 8 support added with ISO booting with latest syslinux release as well (issues #596, #599 and #600) * Changed the behavior of SSH_ROOT_PASSWORD - now saved as MD5 hash password, but backwards compatibility is still respected (issue #560) * For EMC NetWorker server/client we added some exclude items to COPY_AS_IS_EXCLUDE_NSR (issue #571) * Removed the Warning message from main rear script as it was misleading (issues #563 and #564) * output/ISO/Linux-i386/80_create_isofs.sh: make sure ISO_FILES[@] are copied to isofs directory (issue #569) - SLE11-ext3-example.conf is an example for SLE11 with default ext3 filesystem that gets installed as /usr/share/rear/conf/SLE11-ext3-example.conf - SLE12-btrfs-example.conf is an example for SLE12 with default btrfs subvolumes that gets installed as /usr/share/rear/conf/SLE12-btrfs-example.conf - Have config(noreplace) also for all files in /usr/share/rear/ to avoid that RPM package update overwrites user edited files because Relax-and-Recover (rear) is meant to be adapted and enhanced by the user according to his particular needs (see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery). - Added rear-rpmlintrc to filter the following false positives rpmlint warning messages: * non-etc-or-var-file-marked-as-conffile because config(noreplace) is intentionally for all files in /usr/share/rear/ (see above) * systemd-service-without-service_del_preun systemd-service-without-service_del_postun systemd-service-without-service_add_pre systemd-service-without-service_add_post because the systemd unit files in /usr/share/rear/skel/ are not meant to be used in the running system. They are used to build the rear recovery system ISO image. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Mar 15 19:42:07 UTC 2015 - p.drouand@gmail.com - Update to version 1.17.0 * rear 1.17 introduced a new stage directory (init) which is called before any workflow. Can be used for extra initialization code, custom configurations and other stuff that should happen each time that ReaR is used (was added especially for DRLM as plugin for their DRLM variables) (issue #557) * RHEL 5 could not mount NFS share as portmap daemon was not started yet. Reason was that script verify/NETFS/default/08_start_required_daemons.sh was executed after the mount test instead of before. (issue #547) * RHEL 6 on PPC64 architecture has problems with seclabel mount option. There was a fix which cuts the seclabel mount option (as rear is by default not using SELinux) (issue #545) * Disaster Recovery Linux Manager (DRLM) is a new Open Source project to centrally manage Disaster Recovery for Linux. ReaR 1.17 adds support for DRLM with a new configuration option DRLM_MANAGED=y (issue #522) * Adding /etc/crypto-policies/ when openssl is requested (prep/NETFS/default/09_check_encrypted_backup.sh) - required for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1179239 (issue #523) * Introduced USING_UEFI_BOOTLOADER in default.conf file and modified all the involved scripts to follow the logic (issue #214) * Archicture PPC64 has been enhanced (partition recognition issue #536, console #537) * TSM restore filespace has been enhanced (issue #535) * Correct the usage of set -e and StopIfError function (issue #534, #541) * With BACKUP_TYPE=incremental disable variable NETFS_KEEP_OLD_BACKUP_COPY (mutual exclusive with this mode) (issue #143) * Increased to start variable from 32768 to 2097152 in script 10_include_partition_code.sh (issue #492) * Adding /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf (Ubuntu) to rear image when found (issue #520) * When using /etc/rear/mappings/ip_addresses IPADDR/cidr must be translated into IPADDR and NETMASK (for RHEL 5 and 6) (issue #460) * mdadm layout code was changed in RHEL 7; code to deal with it (issue #518) * Adding missing driver xhci_hcd to GNU/Linux.conf (issue #519) * Adding findmnt command to GNU/Linux.conf file; request from https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=908854 * BTRFS code has been rewritten by J. Meixner to get SUSE rear116 fork back into our master tree of rear. BTRFS is now properly recreated on Fedora 20 and 21 and on SLES 12 and openSUSE 13 (issue #233, #497, #538) See also https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=908854 * Enhanced the systemd start-up of udev daemons which is different on Fedora 20 and 21 (issue #507, #531) * BACKUP_PROG_OPTIONS="anchored" became a default option in default.conf (issue #475) * Fixed an issue with auto-detection of the client name in BAREOS (issue #542) * Ubuntu 14.04 did not detect /dev/sda automatically - added upstart script 99-makedev.sh to create missing block devices like sda (issue #446) * New script usr/share/rear/layout/save/GNU/Linux/34_false_blacklisted.sh added as work-around. Sometimes we might see the HP Smart Storage Array disk listed as a multipath device. Most likely this device was not blacklisted in the blacklist section of the /etc/multipath.conf file (do not forget to rebuilt the initial ramdisk after this) e.g. falsempathdev=$( multipath -l | grep "HP,LOGICAL" | awk '{print $1}' ) # mpatha * Added a systemd service script for SEP Sesam to start sesam client automatically (issue #498) * Disk Layout Generation with HP SmartArray with more than one Logical Drive correction introduced by issue #208 (issue #455) * OUTPUT_URL=null was added to avoid 2 ISO images on the local system (issue #501, #419) * Fix drbd restore code so it can handle multiple volumes in single resource (issue #495) * Function get_device_name was enhanced to properly translate /dev/vg/lv to /dev/mapper/vg-lv (issue #494) * Fixed the "lvm wait yes" problem (issue #493) * Device name conflict when grep disklayout file without proper space (issue #491) * Several fixes with mdadm code (issue #480, #489, #490, #508, #539) * Several fixes in the 10_include_partition_code.sh script (issue #487, #492) * Being a bit more careful when deleting the outputfs directory when rear finishes (issue #465) * Add a new config option USE_STATIC_NETWORKING (issue #488) * Resolving library search with duply (issue #482) * Improved the RPM package build for SLES, removed the lsb requirement (issue #479) * Integrated the patch skip_sysconfig_kernel_if_not_exist.diff from SUSE (issue #477) * Debian 7 reference to grub.conf was corrected (issue #473) * Debian packing was improved (issue #474, #484) * Commercial backup solution Galaxy 10 support added to rear (issue #471) Also, point in time recovery was implemented (issue #472) * Fixed the error "unary operator expected with BACKUP_TYPE" (issue #422) * lvm release 2.02.72 had already the knowledge of norestorefile (issue #462) * Add prefix $OUTPUT_PREFIX to all PXE related files (issue #464) * 55-migrate-network-devices.sh: fixed type with /sys/class/net (issue #459) * Removed Get_Start_Date function with Netbackup because (depending on backup strategy) it led to partial restore only (issue #456) * 26_crypt_layout.sh: fixed issue when cypher contains : (issue #425) * 55-migrate-network-devices.sh: rebuild the array instead of unset (issue #452) * skel/default/etc/scripts/system-setup : change uname -n by $HOSTNAME to avoid short/long hostname problems (issue #439) * Added a mkdir for $VAR_DIR/output if dir does not exist (issue #440) * 95_check_missing_programs.sh to find REQUIRED_PROGS before proceeding (issue #418) * Added a fix for autorizing and recognizong the boot flag in the partition (issue #443) * udev showing error message during startup (issue #442) * Prevent "ntpd -q" from waiting forever if, for example, no network is available, by killing it after 10 seconds (issue #438) * Several improvements around duply and duplicity [Debian related] (issues #426, #478) * 95_copy_result_files.sh uses now [*] instead of [@] with array (issue #431) * New variable introduced for TSM in default.conf file called LANG_RECOVER (issue #424) * Added Pre check script for removing older releases first during upgrade (RPM - issue #361) * Prevent udev rule rewrites if systemd-udevd is running issue #405 * Fix "Networker backup fails if pool name contains spaces" (issue #427 and #429) * Fix the "More than 128 partitions is not supported" problem (issue #373 and #428) during recreating the partition layout * A new configuration option, USE_STATIC_NETWORKING=y, will cause statically configured network settings to be applied even when USE_DHCLIENT is in effect (issue #447). - Remove rear-release-notes.txt-1.16; rear-release-notes.txt has been updated - Remove traditional_style_for_bash_3.diff; merged on upstream release ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue May 13 12:28:52 CEST 2014 - jsmeix@suse.de - Provide also the other documentation ("make install" only installs the man page). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri May 9 14:48:24 CEST 2014 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 1.16 from upstream (fate#316508) that has in particular VLAN tagging support (fate#317032). For details see the rear-release-notes.txt file. Warning for users who upgrade Relax-and-Recover (rear): Users who already use it must re-validate that their particular disaster recovery procedure still works. See in particular "Version upgrades" at http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery - bug-859436_40_restore_with_tsm.sh.diff is obsolete because the issue is fixed in the uptream sources. - rear-release-notes.txt-1.16 replaces the outdated doc/rear-release-notes.txt from rear-1.16.tar.gz. - traditional_style_for_bash_3.diff replaces bash 4.x syntax with traditional style for bash 3.x if bash 3.x is used (i.e. up to openSUSE:11.1 and SLE11 where we have bash 3.x) where the test in the build environment assumes that the same bash major version is also used by the end-user in his runtime environment but even if the end-user had upgraded his bash it should not matter because bash 3.x syntax should also work for bash 4.x. - Added an explicit os.conf to not depend on LSB dependencies to avoid calling "lsb_release" in config-functions.sh that might result inconsistent values (bnc#877042). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Feb 7 17:23:08 CET 2014 - jsmeix@suse.de - Added "Requires: lsb-release" because rear calls "lsb_release" in /usr/share/rear/lib/config-functions.sh (bnc#861871). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Feb 7 12:08:12 CET 2014 - jsmeix@suse.de - Cleanup of the LSB RPM requirements (bnc#861871): Replaced "Requires: lsb" by explicitly requiring only those RPM packages that are mandatory for rear (in particular when a binary is called in a script) because "Requires: lsb" would require much too much, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=807747#c4 "A distribution is LSB Certified or LSB compliant if and only if the distribution provides all requirements as outlined in the specification." Accordingly the lsb RPM requires tons of stuff that is not needed by rear (in particular various graphical libraries, sound stuff, printing stuff, and so on). - Replaced rear-1.15.tar.gz with the current one from upstream at https://sourceforge.net/projects/rear/files/rear/1.15/rear-1.15.tar.gz that contains exactly same files but the tarball differs (probably it was re-packed at upstream) and that causes failures of our automated factory-auto check scripts like: "download_files is configured to fail when the upstream file is different then the committed file". ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Jan 22 13:00:39 CET 2014 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to 1.15 from upstream (fate#316508). For details see the rear-release-notes.txt file. - bug-859436_40_restore_with_tsm.sh.diff fixes recovery with TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager) since version 6.4 that results in an error message "ANS1102E" as fixed upstream in https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/356 (bnc#859436). - Warning for users who upgrade from rear 1.10.0 (e.g. when upgrading from SUSE Linux Enterprise 11): Rear 1.15 has many new features and fundamental changes. In particular the filesystem creation is totally different (via the so called "layout workflow" instead of the old "dr workflow" that has been removed in rear 1.14). Users who already use rear must completely re-validate that their particular disaster recovery procedure still works. See in particular "Version upgrades" at http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Jun 12 08:30:00 UTC 2013 - werner@suse.com - Require /usr/bin/mkisofs instead of mkisofs - The default getty is agetty now ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Jun 5 16:16:09 UTC 2013 - jengelh@inai.de - Require mkisofs instead of genisoimage, as we plan to switch to it. (rear works both /usr/bin/mkisofs and /usr/bin/genisoimage) - Avoid UUOC: better deletion strategy for gitignore ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Feb 10 11:31:02 UTC 2013 - p.drouand@gmail.com - updated to rear 1.14 from upstream * see rear-release-notes.txt for more informations - clean and rebase specfile - remove debian files - don't include manfiles and makefile in documentation ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Feb 20 19:04:45 UTC 2011 - schlomo.schapiro@novell.com - updated to rear 1.10.0 from upstream * remove symlinks that conflict with directories to resolve RPM upgrade problems * add OS_MASTER_* variables to define a parent distro, e.g. Fedora for CentOS * remove Linux-x86_64 and map it to Linux-i386 to remove a lot of symlinks pointing to directories * bugfixes for tape blocksize and bootable USB media ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Feb 14 10:41:25 UTC 2011 - schlomo.schapiro@novell.com - updated to rear 1.9.0 from upstream * many bugfixes * (new) P2V/V2V/V2P/P2P with system reconfiguration * (new) support Data Protector, Bacula, OBDR, Tapes * (new) use udev for module loading, support firmware loading * see full list of changes at http://rear.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/rear/releases/1.9.0/usr/share/rear/CHANGES ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Dec 11 08:24:44 UTC 2009 - schlomo.schapiro@novell.com - updated to rear 1.7.23 from upstream * some bugfixing * added validation info for openSUSE 11.2 i386 and x86_64 * improved library collection for 64bit Linux (e.g. /lib*/libnss*) * symlink doc and contrib in the dist archive to reduce the size * clone required system users/groups to rescue system (daemon and rpc) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Dec 2 14:18:45 UTC 2009 - schlomo.schapiro@novell.com - updated to rear 1.7.22 from upsteam * added -L to stat call to read real device in 29_find_required_devices.sh * make svn2host report scp errors * updated rear.spec, rear.sourcespec of SUSE and FEDORA * updated contrib/mkvendorrp to pull version nr from rear, CHANGED * updated lib/spec/Fedora/rear.sourcespec Require field and doc/ * updated skel/default/etc/scripts/system-setup to improve loading modules * updated finalize/default/88_check_for_mount_by_id.sh * added prep/GNU/Linux/28_include_vmware_tools.sh * moved some misplaced scripts from pack to build * added contrib/svn2hosts (continuous integration script) * fixed up mkdist-workflow.sh and contrib/svn2tar to share more code * removed the UTF-8 conversion (IMHO should be only done manually) * removed the overwriting of the generic spec file with vendor specific spec file * fixed the copying of /dev/shm/* by adding it to COPY_AS_IS_EXCLUDE * support open-vm-tools and loading of vmxnet * removed the usage of udev_volume_id (for RHEL4) in favour of internal vol_id * fixed internal vol_id to correctly strip leading spaces from the values * fixed 31_create_filesystems.sh to actually correctly create ext* and support FS labels with < or > in them (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2891970&group_id=171835&atid=859452) * added usleep and mktemp * Fixed all wrong occurences of [*] with [@].
