Name        : fsarchiver
Product     : Fedora 17
Version     : 0.6.13
Release     : 1.fc17
URL         : http://www.fsarchiver.org
Summary     : Safe and flexible file-system backup/deployment tool
Description :
FSArchiver is a system tool that allows you to save the contents of a
file-system to a compressed archive file. The file-system can be restored
on a partition which has a different size and it can be restored on a
different file-system. Unlike tar/dar, FSArchiver also creates the
file-system when it extracts the data to partitions. Everything is
checksummed in the archive in order to protect the data. If the archive
is corrupt, you just loose the current file, not the whole archive.

Update Information:

New upstream version with the following fixes: 
* Fixed detection of the root filesystem using "/proc/self/mountinfo" instead of "/proc/mounts"
* Fix: get correct mount info for root device when not listed in /proc/mounts (eg: missing "/dev/root")
