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. EA/ACL support in dump (requested by Michael Ju. Tokarev
<mjt@tls.msk.ru>.
7. Better readline completition in restore (escape spaces etc).
