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