Kern's ToDo List
- 15 September 2003
+ 30 September 2003
Documentation to do: (any release a little bit at a time)
- Document running a test version.
- Test cancel at EOM.
- Test not zeroing Autochanger slot when it is wrong.
- Figure out how to use ssh or stunnel to protect Bacula communications.
+- Test connect timeouts.
-For 1.32:
-- Document list nextvol and new format status dir.
+For 1.32 Testing/Documentation:
- Document new records in Director. SDAddress SDDeviceName, SDPassword.
FDPassword, FDAddress, DBAddress, DBPort, DBPassword.
-- It is generally safe to use the drive when the lights stop flashing.
- Document new Include/Exclude ...
-- Document all the status codes JobLevel, JobType, JobStatus.
- Add test of exclusion, test multiple Include {} statements.
+- Add counter variable test.
+
+For 1.32:
+
+For 1.33
+- When job rescheduled, status gives is waiting for Client Rufus
+ to connect to Storage File. Dir needs to inform SD that job
+ is rescheduled.
+- Fix get_storage_from_media_type (ua_restore) to use command line
+ storage=
- Enhance "update slots" to include a "scan" feature
scan 1; scan 1-5; scan 1,2,4 ... to update the catalog
- Allow a slot or range of slots on the label barcodes command.
- when the magazine is changed.
- Don't print "Warning: Wrong Volume mounted ..." if mounting second volume.
-- LabelFormat on tape volume apparently creates the db record but
- never actually labels the volume.
-- Copy static programs into install directory.
-
-For 1.33
-- Think about changing Storage resource Device record to be
- SDDeviceName.
+- Make Dmsg look at global before calling subroutine.
+- Enable trace output at runtime for Win32
+- Make sure that Volumes are recycled based on "Least recently used"
+ rather than lowest MediaId.
+- Available volumes for autochangers (see patrick@baanboard.com 3 Sep 03
+ and 4 Sep) scan slots.
+- Upgrade to cygwin 1.5
+- Get MySQL 3.23.58
+- Get and test MySQL 4.0
+- Do a complete audit of all pthreads_mutex, cond, ... to ensure that
+ any that are dynamically initialized are destroyed when no longer used.
+- Write a mini-readline with history and editing.
- Look at how fuser works and /proc/PID/fd that is how Nic found the
file descriptor leak in Bacula.
- Implement WrapCounters in Counters.
- Figure out some way to estimate output size and to avoid splitting
a backup across two Volumes -- this could be useful for writing CDROMs
where you really prefer not to have it split -- not serious.
-- Add RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob to the Client program.
- Have SD compute MD5 or SHA1 and compare to what FD computes.
- Make VolumeToCatalog calculate an MD5 or SHA1 from the
actual data on the Volume and compare it.
- Check if we can increase Bacula FD priorty in Win2000
- Make sure the MaxVolFiles is fully implemented in SD
- Check if both CatalogFiles and UseCatalog are set to SD.
-- Need return status on read_cb() from read_records(). Need multiple
- records -- one per Job, maybe a JCR or some other structure with
- a block and a record.
- Figure out how to do a bare metal Windows restore
- Possibly add email to Watchdog if drive is unmounted too
long and a job is waiting on the drive.
- Document restore by files.
- Make variable expansion work correctly.
- Implement List Volume Job=xxx or List scheduled volumes or Status Director
+- Copy static programs into install directory.
+- Think about changing Storage resource Device record to be
+ SDDeviceName.
+- Add RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob to the Client program.
+- Need return status on read_cb() from read_records(). Need multiple
+ records -- one per Job, maybe a JCR or some other structure with
+ a block and a record.
+- LabelFormat on tape volume apparently creates the db record but
+ never actually labels the volume.
+- Recycling a volume when two jobs are using it is going to break. Fixed.
+- Document list nextvol and new format status dir.
+- Client files in Win32 with Unix eol conventions doesn't work.
+- Either fix or document that fill command in btape can be
+ compressed enormously by the hardware - a 36GB tape wrote 750GB!
+- Add multiple character duration qualifiers.
+- Require some modifer.
+- Restrict characters permitted in a Resource name, and don't permit
+ duplicate names.
+- Figure out some way to ignore or get past checksum errors in
+ reading.
+- The SD spooling file gets created even if it is not used.
+- Look at Cleaning tape in ua_label.c for media create/update
+- Add regression testing to the manual
+- End time: in job output of rescheduled job is time of first run.
+- Document list nextvol and status output.
+- Separate Dir heartbeat in FD from the SD heartbeat.
+- Fix sparse file handeling so that it always reads a multiple
+ of 512. Currently, it subtracts 8 bytes (for faddr).
+ Kludged with #ifdef for FreeBSD.
+- Document that Volume pruning can delete last Full backup and
+ hence you will not have a valid backup.
+- Clarify the fact that having the Bacula cygwin1.dll loaded
+ is not the same as having cygwin installed.
+- Document that it is safe to use the drive when the lights stop flashing.
+- Document all the status codes JobLevel, JobType, JobStatus.
+- Add GUI interface to manual
