silently ignore -c parameter if --checkDevicesBS0 if lower than 1M

[Michal Bičan]

Binary package hint: storebackup

If you use checkDevices* and set block size lower than 1M bzip2 compression is used for backup of block device but other files are compressed right with gzip. There is no warning at all but extension of the files of block device is as in parameter (.gz)
storeBackup -c 'gzip -9' -p '.gz' -s ~/stbu/empty -b /media/backup/backup/ -S system -l /tmp/storeBackup.log --checkDevices0 /dev/sda1 --checkDevicesBS0 256k --checkDevicesCompr0 --checkDevicesDir0 .

I just read this bug report (didn't know about this place) and fixed the bug.
It will be published with version 3.3, which probably will be released in a few weeks or a month or so.
If you want to test it before that date, please contact me.

corrected in version 3.3-rc1

The call of storeBackup above is wrong. You also have to specify
-u 'gzip -d'
or storeBackupRecover (and others) will try to uncompress files with bzip2 (default value) instead of gzip.

Starting with version 3.3 you also have to change usage of option --checkDevicesCompr0 to
--checkDevicesCompr0 yes
or
--checkDevicesCompr0 check
due to functional enhancement.
