- Add an item to the FAQ about running jobs in different timezones.
For 1.32c
+- Add Volume name to "I cannot write on this volume because"
For 1.33
+- Write your PID file and chwon root:wheel before drop.
+- Make sure there is no symlink in a file before creating a
+ file (attack).
+- Look at mktemp or mkstemp(3).
+ mktemp and mkstemp create files with predictable names too. That's
+ not the vulnerability. The vulnerability is in creating files without
+ using the O_EXCL flag, which means "only create this file if it doesn't
+ exist, including if the file is a dangling symlink."
+
+ It is *NOT* enough to do the equivalent of
+
+ if doesn't exist $filename
+ then create $filename
+
+ because between the test and the create another process could have
+ gotten the CPU and created the file. You must use atomic functions
+ (those that don't get interrupted by other processes) and O_EXCL is
+ the only way for this particular example.
+- Keep last 5 or 10 completed jobs and show them in a similar
+ list.
+- Make a Running Jobs: output similar to current Scheduled Jobs:
+- Use ioctl() fsf if it exists. Figure out where we are from
+ the mt_status command. Use slow fsf only if other does
+ not work.
+- Add flag to write only one EOF mark on the tape.
+- Mount a tape that is not right for the job (wrong # files on tape)
+ Bacula asks for another tape, fix problems with first tape and
+ say "mount". All works OK, but status shows:
+ Device /dev/nst0 open but no Bacula volume is mounted.

- Automatically create pools, but instead of looking for what
in in Job records, walk through the pool resources.
- Check and double check tree code, why does it take so long?
