Need to verify:
---------------
2. More documentation? Examples, crontab?
3. Explore and correct dump problems on active filesystems
- (lseek/read negative count).
+ (lseek/read negative count) (This should be OK as of 0.4b14.
+ Unfortunately, this seems to continue for a very few users).
4. Reimplement the ext2 specific code in a "backend" and
make the dump code more generic. This would allow creation
6. Add a compression mode using zlib on each file (see
http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib).
-7. Add some support in dump and restore for numbering in sequence
- the output files (when dumping to a file). Something like -N <prefix>
- which creates (or reads) <prefix>-1, <prefix>-2 etc...
+7. Make a bootable dump tape? I don't know if it is possible...
-8. Make a bootable dump tape? I don't know if it is possible...
+8. From Kjetil Torgrim Homme <kjetilho@ifi.uio.no>:
+ a archive_file
+ Archive file. Archive a dump table-of-contents in
+ the specified archive_file to be used by
+ ufsrestore(1M) to determine whether a file is in
+ the dump file that is being restored.
+
+9. Modify (or get rid of) rmt in order to work with non Linux
+ systems (limited succes has been reported). A good version
+ of rmt to be looked at is part of star

+
+10. Rework the makefiles, actually --prefix doesn't work in
+ configure. Maybe use automake in the same step ?
+
+11. EA/ACL support in dump (requested by Michael Ju. Tokarev
+ <mjt@tls.msk.ru>.
