Description Todd 2025-04-13 15:17:25 UTC
Dear dump maintainer.

Fedora 41
dump-0.4-0.57.b47.fc41.x86_64

Fedora 42
dump-1:0.4-0.57.b47.fc41.x86_64

When restoring file(s) with `restore`, I get inundated with these messages:

restore: <name unknown>: ftruncate: Invalid argument
restore: <name unknown>: ftruncate: Invalid argument
and on and on and so forth. 

This bug has been fix by "upstream" (0.4b48)
https://sourceforge.net/p/dump/bugs/158/

Would you please update dump!

Many thanks,
-T

Reproducible: Always

Comment 2 Todd 2025-05-04 22:43:37 UTC
I have two servers effected by this.  This is important.

Tim at upstream, shwed how to create an rpm of the latest dump.  He even included an FC40 srpm.

The upgrade to dump version 0.4b52 should be in the Fedora testing repos in a few hours.

Fedora 41
dump-0.4-0.59.b52.fc41.x86_64

/usr/sbin/dump -0a -z -f /lin-bak/2025-05-07_rootExt4Dump.gz /

Comment 5 Jeff Makey 2025-05-14 23:02:28 UTC
The Fedora testing repos now contain dump-0.4-0.60.b52.fc41, which should work better.

Comment 6 Jeff Makey 2025-05-24 21:23:11 UTC
