The --filesystem option can be used to specify
an alternative filesystem used to format the tomb, in place of the default "ext4".
Beside "btrfs" now the following parameters to --filesystem are supported:
"ext3" using operating system defaults
"ext4" using operating system defaults
"btrfs" for tombs >= 47MB using operating system defaults
"btrfsmixedmode" for tombs >=18MB btrfs mixed mode (see mkfs.btrfs(8))
"ext3maxinodes" ext3 with a maximum of inodes (for many small files)
"ext4maxinodes" ext4 with a maximum of inodes (for many small files)
These changes help use scenarios in which there is a great number of small files
and/or directories in a small filesystem, like e.g. the pass-tomb extension to pass.
* KDF support for argon2 memory intensive algorithm
following many requests, here is support for argon2 KDF to be switched
on using --kdftype argon2 (--kdf iterations --kdfmem memory)
effective memory required is 2^memory KiB, defaults to 18 (262 MiB)
number of iterations are still specified as --kdf argument
requires the argon2 reference C implementation from P-H-C
also requires tomb-kdb-pbkdf2-gensalt in extras/kdf-keys
example usage:
tomb forge -k argon.key --kdf 10 --kdftype argon2
* manual updates for argon2
now supporting also pkexec (polkit daemon), suckless' sup and
sud.dyne.org
pkexec is autodetected when polkit is running
manpage documents the --sudo flag which overrides any autodetection
this reverts commit 843b7fdfc4
and refers to various issues, among them #268
on the long term its easy to realise how this is a usability feature for most
users, so we just provide a new '-p' flag to preserve ownership on open.
also removed pre-open and post-close as they don't really make sense
since all hooks are contained inside the Tomb. The post-close may be
implemented using a temp file, if a use case turns up for it.
Renamed file from "post-hooks" to more appropriate "exec-hooks".
Implemented and documented a more consistent call system made of 4
different stages: pre-open, post-open, pre-close, post-close.
Addresses issue #265
tomb doesn't need lsof for anything else, and can work regulary without it.
So make it an optional feature, which allows to slam a tomb if lsof is installed
Updates additionally the man page and generates a new pdf from it
Mostly intended to fix the URLs at the end.
The original page for dm-crypt pointed to the google-code page of cryptsetup and the google-code page itself redirects the user to gitlab, where the project is now hosted.
So replaced the URLs with their gitlab counterpart.
Made a note about the mount behaviour which got enhanced by ca012e8
Additionally some smaller typos corrected
The fix is due to the new naming scheme without .tomb extension recently
introduced for mountpoints. While testing this a problem arised with
swish-e related to compression of indexes, to be addressed.
omb_manpage.pdf had not been updated for two years. This update brings
the document up to date with the latest update done to the tomb.1 man
page on November 26, 2014.
