1 | 1. Make dump honor the no-dump attribute on directories. Currently, it | |
2 | honours it only on files. This means that a directory flagged with | |
3 | the no-dump attribute will be dumped if it contains a file without | |
4 | the no-dump flag. | |
5 | ||
6 | 2. Make dump able to backup several directories and/or files in one | |
7 | invocation, like the SunOS version. | |
8 | ||
9 | 3. Verify that dump works correctly on rev 1 ext2fses (need success | |
10 | reports) | |
11 | ||
12 | 4. More documentation? Examples, crontab? | |
13 | ||
14 | 5. Verify that dump works with kerberos authentification (this | |
15 | was ported from *BSD and was not tested - in fact, this | |
16 | wasn't even compiled in!). Need success reports for this. | |
17 | ||
18 | 6. Explore and correct dump problems on a 4GB+ filesystem. | |
19 | ||
20 | 7. Clean-up the code by removing all those #ifdef _BSD, | |
21 | since nobody would ever re-compile this on a BSD system. | |
22 | Since the tape format is the same, the native BSD | |
23 | restore can be used to restore tapes... | |
24 | ||
25 | 8. 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). |
