$Id: TODO,v 1.7 1999/11/21 00:17:12 tiniou Exp $ Need to verify: --------------- 1. Verify that dump works with kerberos authentification (this was ported from *BSD and was not tested - in fact, this wasn't even compiled in!). Need success reports for this. Urgent items (for the next stable version): ------------------------------------------- All others: ----------- 1. Make dump able to backup several directories and/or files in one invocation, like the SunOS version. 2. More documentation? Examples, crontab? 3. Explore and correct dump problems on active filesystems (lseek/read negative count). 4. Reimplement the ext2 specific code in a "backend" and make the dump code more generic. This would allow creation of other backends for other filesystems. Implementing a (v)fat backend should be quite easy, as for BSD ffs (we already have the code for this). The BSD code in traverse.c (all those #ifdef _BSD) should go into the ffs backend. 5. Implement a DEBUG option which doesn't fork on each tape, making it able to debug dump with gdb.
