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
6 2. Make dump able to backup several directories and/or files in one
7 invocation, like the SunOS version.
9 3. Verify that dump works correctly on rev 1 ext2fses (need success
12 4. More documentation? Examples, crontab?
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.
18 6. Explore and correct dump problems on a 4GB+ filesystem.
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...
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).
