3 | Need to verify: | |
4 | --------------- | |
5 | ||
6 | 1. Verify that dump works with kerberos authentification (this | |
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 | ------------------------------------------- | |
12 | ||
13 | All others: | |
14 | ----------- | |
15 | ||
16 | 1. Make dump able to backup several directories and/or files in one | |
17 | invocation, like the SunOS version. | |
18 | ||
19 | 2. More documentation? Examples, crontab? | |
20 | ||
21 | 3. Explore and correct dump problems on active filesystems | |
22 | (lseek/read negative count) (This should be OK as of 0.4b14. | |
23 | Unfortunately, this seems to continue for a very few users). | |
24 | ||
25 | 4. Reimplement the ext2 specific code in a "backend" and | |
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 | |
29 | already have the code for this). The BSD code in traverse.c | |
30 | (all those #ifdef _BSD) should go into the ffs backend. | |
31 | ||
32 | 5. Implement a DEBUG option which doesn't fork on each tape, making | |
33 | it able to debug dump with gdb. | |
34 | ||
35 | 6. Add a compression mode using zlib on each file (see | |
36 | http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib). | |
37 | ||
38 | 7. Make a bootable dump tape? I don't know if it is possible... | |
39 | ||
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. |
