Fix the multi-volume problem (is there one after all?, I could not - reproduce it and some people told me that multi-volume dumps were Ok). +$Id: TODO,v 1.24 2002/01/25 14:59:53 stelian Exp $ -2. Make dump honor the no-dump attribute on directories. Currently, it - honours it only on files. This means that a directory flagged with - the no-dump attribute will be dumped if it contains a file without - the no-dump flag. +Need to verify: +--------------- -3. Change the way rdump and rrestore call rmt. Currently, rcmd() is used - but it may be better to call rsh. I have to look at the GNU tar code. +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. -4. Make dump able to backup several directories and/or files in one - invocation, like the SunOS version. +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. EA/ACL support in dump (requested by Michael Ju. Tokarev + . + +7. Better readline completition in restore (escape spaces etc).
