2 | |
3 | Need to verify: | |
4 | --------------- | |
5 | ||
4267a8ad | 6 | 1. Verify that dump works with kerberos authentification (this |
8590d613 SP |
7 | was ported from *BSD and was not tested - in fact, this |
8 | wasn't even compiled in!). Need success reports for this. | |
9 | ||
10 | Urgent items (for the next stable version): | |
11 | ------------------------------------------- | |
ec387a12 | 12 | |
8590d613 SP |
13 | All others: |
14 | ----------- | |
8d4197bb | 15 | |
8590d613 SP |
16 | 1. Make dump able to backup several directories and/or files in one |
17 | invocation, like the SunOS version. | |
8d4197bb | 18 | |
8590d613 | 19 | 2. More documentation? Examples, crontab? |
8d4197bb | 20 | |
4267a8ad | 21 | 3. Explore and correct dump problems on active filesystems |
2f7e72ce SP |
22 | (lseek/read negative count) (This should be OK as of 0.4b14. |
23 | Unfortunately, this seems to continue for a very few users). | |
8d4197bb | 24 | |
4267a8ad | 25 | 4. Reimplement the ext2 specific code in a "backend" and |
8d4197bb SP |
26 | make the dump code more generic. This would allow creation |
27 | of other backends for other filesystems. Implementing a | |
28 | (v)fat backend should be quite easy, as for BSD ffs (we | |
4267a8ad SP |
29 | already have the code for this). The BSD code in traverse.c |
30 | (all those #ifdef _BSD) should go into the ffs backend. | |
8590d613 | 31 | |
4267a8ad | 32 | 5. Implement a DEBUG option which doesn't fork on each tape, making |
8590d613 SP |
33 | it able to debug dump with gdb. |
34 | ||
c930abff SP |
35 | 6. Add a compression mode using zlib on each file (see |
36 | http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib). | |
37 | ||
2e682895 | 38 | 7. Make a bootable dump tape? I don't know if it is possible... |
c930abff | 39 | |
2e682895 SP |
40 | 8. From Kjetil Torgrim Homme <kjetilho@ifi.uio.no>: |
41 | a archive_file | |
42 | Archive file. Archive a dump table-of-contents in | |
43 | the specified archive_file to be used by | |
44 | ufsrestore(1M) to determine whether a file is in | |
45 | the dump file that is being restored. |
