$Id: TODO,v 1.23 2001/08/16 15:24:21 stelian 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. More documentation? Examples, crontab? 2. Explore and correct dump problems on active filesystems (lseek/read negative count) (This should be OK as of 0.4b14. Unfortunately, this seems to continue for a very few users). 3. 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. 4. Implement a DEBUG option which doesn't fork on each tape, making it able to debug dump with gdb. 5. Make a bootable dump tape? I don't know if it is possible... 6. From Kjetil Torgrim Homme : a archive_file Archive file. Archive a dump table-of-contents in the specified archive_file to be used by ufsrestore(1M) to determine whether a file is in the dump file that is being restored. 7. EA/ACL support in dump (requested by Michael Ju. Tokarev . 8. Better readline completition in restore (escape spaces etc). 9. Dump compiled with RedHat's 7.0 gcc seems to hang for some people. When compiled with kgcc all the problems disappear. Will the RedHat's 7.1 gcc resolve this ?
