Need to verify:
---------------
All others:
-----------
-1. Make dump able to backup several directories and/or files in one
- invocation, like the SunOS version.
+1. More documentation? Examples, crontab?
-2. 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. Explore and correct dump problems on active filesystems
- (lseek/read negative count).

-4. Reimplement the ext2 specific code in a "backend" and
+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.
-5. Implement a DEBUG option which doesn't fork on each tape, making
+4. Implement a DEBUG option which doesn't fork on each tape, making
it able to debug dump with gdb.
-6. Add a compression mode using zlib on each file (see
- http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib).
+5. Make a bootable dump tape? I don't know if it is possible...
+
+6. From Kjetil Torgrim Homme <kjetilho@ifi.uio.no>:
+ 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. Add some support in dump and restore for numbering in sequence
- the output files (when dumping to a file). Something like -N <prefix>
- which creates (or reads) <prefix>-1, <prefix>-2 etc...
+7. EA/ACL support in dump (requested by Michael Ju. Tokarev
+ <mjt@tls.msk.ru>.
-8. Make a bootable dump tape? I don't know if it is possible...
+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 ?
