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. More documentation? Examples, crontab? | |
17 | ||
18 | 2. Explore and correct dump problems on active filesystems | |
19 | (lseek/read negative count) (This should be OK as of 0.4b14. | |
20 | Unfortunately, this seems to continue for a very few users). | |
21 | ||
22 | 3. Reimplement the ext2 specific code in a "backend" and | |
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 | |
26 | already have the code for this). The BSD code in traverse.c | |
27 | (all those #ifdef _BSD) should go into the ffs backend. | |
28 | ||
29 | 4. Implement a DEBUG option which doesn't fork on each tape, making | |
30 | it able to debug dump with gdb. | |
31 | ||
32 | 5. Extend the compression patch to use bzip2. | |
33 | ||
34 | 6. Make a bootable dump tape? I don't know if it is possible... | |
35 | ||
36 | 7. From Kjetil Torgrim Homme <kjetilho@ifi.uio.no>: | |
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. | |
42 | ||
43 | 8. EA/ACL support in dump (requested by Michael Ju. Tokarev | |
44 | <mjt@tls.msk.ru>. | |
45 | ||
46 | 9. Better readline completition in restore (escape spaces etc). | |
47 | ||
48 | 10. Dump compiled with RedHat's 7.0 gcc seems to hang for some | |
49 | people. When compiled with kgcc all the problems disappear. | |
50 | Will the RedHat's 7.1 gcc resolve this ? |
