Cedar Backup v2.1.3 has been released. This is a bug fix release, focused around some more bugs I found in the sysinfo extension (when run from cron) and in the capacity calculation code. The capacity code is something I had also problems with initially in v1.0. It appears my problem in v2.0 was that I mis-read the old code in several places while rewriting it. To make sure no other problems were lurking, I've audited the new code against the old code, and I've also audited the new regression tests against the old code's behavior. The regression tests did (and do) thoroughly test the capacity code, but unfortunately they were testing the wrong expected results based on my mis-read of the old code. :( Here is the official changelog entry: Version 2.1.3 08 Mar 2005 * In sysinfo extension, explicitly path to /sbin/fdisk command. * Modify behavior and logging when optional sysinfo commands are not found. * Add extra logging around boundaries and capacity calculations in writer.py. * In executeCommand, log command using output logger as well as debug level. * Docs now suggest --output in cron command line to aid problem diagnosis. * Fix bug in capacity calculation, this time for media with a single session. * Validate all capacity code against in v1.0 code, making changes as needed. * Re-evaluate all capacity-related regression tests against v1.0 code. * Add new regression tests for capacity bugs which weren't already detected.
