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 | |
a94ecd11 | 16 | 1. More documentation? Examples, crontab? |
8d4197bb | 17 | |
a94ecd11 | 18 | 2. Explore and correct dump problems on active filesystems |
2f7e72ce SP |
19 | (lseek/read negative count) (This should be OK as of 0.4b14. |
20 | Unfortunately, this seems to continue for a very few users). | |
8d4197bb | 21 | |
a94ecd11 | 22 | 3. Reimplement the ext2 specific code in a "backend" and |
8d4197bb SP |
23 | make the dump code more generic. This would allow creation |
24 | of other backends for other filesystems. Implementing a | |
25 | (v)fat backend should be quite easy, as for BSD ffs (we | |
4267a8ad SP |
26 | already have the code for this). The BSD code in traverse.c |
27 | (all those #ifdef _BSD) should go into the ffs backend. | |
8590d613 | 28 | |
a94ecd11 | 29 | 4. Implement a DEBUG option which doesn't fork on each tape, making |
8590d613 SP |
30 | it able to debug dump with gdb. |
31 | ||
a94ecd11 | 32 | 5. Extend the compression patch to use bzip2. |
c930abff | 33 | |
a94ecd11 | 34 | 6. Make a bootable dump tape? I don't know if it is possible... |
c930abff | 35 | |
a94ecd11 | 36 | 7. From Kjetil Torgrim Homme <kjetilho@ifi.uio.no>: |
2e682895 SP |
37 | a archive_file |
38 | Archive file. Archive a dump table-of-contents in | |
39 | the specified archive_file to be used by | |
40 | ufsrestore(1M) to determine whether a file is in | |
41 | the dump file that is being restored. | |
79dfd5d8 | 42 | |
a94ecd11 | 43 | 8. Modify (or get rid of) rmt in order to work with non Linux |
79dfd5d8 SP |
44 | systems (limited succes has been reported). A good version |
45 | of rmt to be looked at is part of star | |
46 | http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/star.html | |
47 | ||
a94ecd11 | 48 | 9. EA/ACL support in dump (requested by Michael Ju. Tokarev |
79dfd5d8 SP |
49 | <mjt@tls.msk.ru>. |
50 | ||
a94ecd11 | 51 | 10. Better readline completition in restore (escape spaces etc). |
