- Short: TapeWorm-FS Patch from V1.0 to V1.2
- Type: biz/patch
- Uploader: djmccoy@netcom.com
-
- TapeWorm-FS from MoonLighter Software Development allows those with tape
- drives to utilize their drives as if they were a normal WORM type drive.
- This is a software patch that will update your backup copy of TapeWorm-FS
- up to version 1.2. Below are the changes.
-
- -------------------------------
- Changes from Version 1.0 to 1.2
- -------------------------------
-
- Fixed a problem that occured when rebuilding the directory of a tape that
- uses the 'Keep .info files with directory' option. The rebuild was not
- setting the size of some files in the rebuilt directory properly.
-
- Changed the filesystem so that it doesn't use the WRITE_FILEMARKS SCSI
- command with a zero argument. Some drives (most notabably some A3070's)
- don't adhere to the SCSI standard with with regards to this command
- resulting in TapeWorm-FS not working.
-
- Changed the way that eject is called. Some HP DAT drives were not properly
- ejecting the tape.
-
- Changed the filesystem so that it makes sure that everything is flushed
- to the directory file of the tape currently in the drive every 4 seconds.
- Before some things weren't being flushed until the tape was ejected. This
- could cause problems when copying files to a tape and then rebooting without
- ejecting the tape. (This was fixed in version 1.1)
-
- The filesystem was freeing some memory it shouldn't have if there was an
- error while starting up.
