chiark-utils (4.1.3) unstable; urgency=low

   backup snap remountrocp fixes:

   * Restrict copy to same file system (oops!).
   * Nicer messages from remountrocp (-q to mkfs; various echoes).
 
   backup snaprsync fixes:
   * Support --subdir= option, defaults to `.' (root of source fs).
   * Correctly set up /var/lib/chiark-backup/snap-drop so drop works.
   * Send output of local summer to fd 3 as required.

   * Use `current logical extents associated to logical volume' (field 8)
     rather than `allocated logical extents of logical volume' (field 9)
     for size, as the latter is sometimes -1 for some reason.
   * Attempt 10 times to mount readonly.
   * Comments stating that lvm{create,extents}core1 need vgroup.

 -- Ian Jackson <ian@davenant.greenend.org.uk>  Sun, 30 Jul 2006 14:44:23 +0100
