Doc Text: |
Cause: File contained more magic patterns to detect output of "dump" backup tool.
Consequence: On big-endian architectures, less detailed magic pattern was used and the File output was inconsistent.
Fix: Less detailed magic pattern has been removed and only one magic pattern to detect "dump" output is used now.
Result: File uses more detailed magic pattern every time even on big-endian architectures.

Upstream bug report: http://bugs.gw.com/view.php?id=204 Created attachment 616434 [details]
proposed patch
This patch removes duplicated magic pattern and keeps the one which provides more detailed information about dumps.
Can you please attach backup file (or first 4096 bytes) for which it's broken (big endian version) so upstream can verify the fix? Created attachment 616457 [details]
dump from a big endian system
attached big endian dump sample
