3 | Need to verify: | |
4 | --------------- | |
5 | ||
6 | 1. Verify that dump works correctly on rev 1 ext2fses (need success | |
7 | reports) | |
8 | ||
9 | 2. Verify that dump works with kerberos authentification (this | |
10 | was ported from *BSD and was not tested - in fact, this | |
11 | wasn't even compiled in!). Need success reports for this. | |
12 | ||
13 | Urgent items (for the next stable version): | |
14 | ------------------------------------------- | |
ec387a12 | 15 | |
b45f51d6 | 16 | 1. Make dump honor the no-dump attribute on directories. Currently, it |
1227625a SP |
17 | honours it only on files. This means that a directory flagged with |
18 | the no-dump attribute will be dumped if it contains a file without | |
19 | the no-dump flag. | |
20 | ||
8590d613 SP |
21 | All others: |
22 | ----------- | |
8d4197bb | 23 | |
8590d613 SP |
24 | 1. Make dump able to backup several directories and/or files in one |
25 | invocation, like the SunOS version. | |
8d4197bb | 26 | |
8590d613 | 27 | 2. More documentation? Examples, crontab? |
8d4197bb | 28 | |
8590d613 | 29 | 3. Explore and correct dump problems on a 4GB+ active |
f34aca37 | 30 | filesystem (lseek/read negative count). |
8d4197bb | 31 | |
8590d613 | 32 | 4. Clean-up the code by removing all those #ifdef _BSD, |
8d4197bb SP |
33 | since nobody would ever re-compile this on a BSD system. |
34 | Since the tape format is the same, the native BSD | |
35 | restore can be used to restore tapes... | |
36 | ||
8590d613 | 37 | 5. Reimplement the ext2 specific code in a "backend" and |
8d4197bb SP |
38 | make the dump code more generic. This would allow creation |
39 | of other backends for other filesystems. Implementing a | |
40 | (v)fat backend should be quite easy, as for BSD ffs (we | |
41 | already have the code for this). | |
8590d613 SP |
42 | |
43 | 6. Implement a DEBUG option which doesn't fork on each tape, making | |
44 | it able to debug dump with gdb. | |
