Kern's ToDo List
- 04 August 2005
+ 13 August 2005
Major development:
Project Developer
1. Fix bugs
- Tape xxx in drive 0, requested in drive 1
- The mount command does not work with drives other than 0.
+- A mount should cause the SD to re-examine what Slot is
+ loaded.
+- The SD locks on to the first available drive then
+ wants a Volume that is released but in another drive --
+ chaos.
- Look at fixing restore status stats in SD.
+- My database is growing
+- Call GetLastError() in the berrno constructor rather
+ than delaying until strerror.
- --without-openssl breaks at least on Solaris.
9. Run the regression scripts on Solaris and FreeBSD
- Pruning with Admin job.
- Restore of all files for a Job or set of jobs even if the file
records have been removed from the catalog.
-========= probably not in 1.38 =============
- - MaximumPartSize = bytes (SD, Device resource)
- Defines the maximum part size.
- - Requires Mount = Yes/No (SD, Device resource)
- Defines if the device require to be mounted to be read, and if it
- must be written in a special way. If it set, the following directives
- must be defined in the same Device resource:
- + Mount Point = directory
- Directory where the device must be mounted.
- + Mount Command = name-string
- Command that must be executed to mount the device. Before the command
- is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and %m with the
- Mount Point.
- + Unmount Command = name-string
- Command that must be executed to unmount the device. Before the
- command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and
- %m with the Mount Point.
- + Write Part Command = name-string
- Command that must be executed to write a part to the device. Before
- the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, %m
- with the Mount Point, %n with the current part number (0-based),
- and %v with the current part filename.
- + Free Space Command = name-string
- Command that must be executed to check how much free space is left
- on the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with
- the Archive Device, %m with the Mount Point, %n with the current part
- number (0-based), and %v with the current part filename.
- - Write Part After Job = Yes/No (DIR, Job Resource, and Schedule Resource)
- If this directive is set to yes (default no), a new part file will be
- created after the job is finished.
-=======
For 1.39:
+- "Resuming" a failed backup (lost line for example) by using the
+ failed backup as a sort of "base" job.
+- Look at NDMP
- Email to the user when the tape is about to need changing x
days before it needs changing.
- Command to show next tape that will be used for a job even
a reservation?
- Multi-drive changer seems to only use drive 0
Multiple drives don't seem to be opened.
-
