Kern's ToDo List
- 14 June 2003
+ 22 June 2003
Documentation to do: (any release a little bit at a time)
- Document running a test version.
- Document FInclude ...
- Document need to add "-u root" to most of MySQL script calls
(./create_mys... ./make_my...).
+- Document recycling algorithm.
Testing to do: (painful)
- Test cancel at EOM.
- Test not zeroing Autochanger slot when it is wrong.
- Test multiple simultaneous Volumes
-- That restoring a hard link that already exists works correctly.
- Same for soft link.
- Test of last block is correct in JobMedia when splitting file
over two volumes.
-
+- Test recycling and purging (code changed in db_find_next_volume and
+ in recycle.c).
- Figure out how to use ssh or stunnel to protect Bacula communications.
For 1.31 release:
+- Check that Block number in JobMedia are correct.
+- Complain if record dropped in bnet_recv because too long.
+- Suppress Job Name in Jmsg for console
+- Check Jmsg in bnet, may not work, must dup bsock.
+- Use SD returned values in report -- or add them.
+- Increment DB version prior to releasing.
+- Turn off FULL_DEBUG prior to releasing.
+- Implement forward spacing block/file: position_device(bsr) --
+ just before read_block_from_device();
+- On Windows with very long path names, it may be impossible to create
+ a file (and thus restore it) because the total length is too long.
+ We must cd into the directory then create the file without the
+ full path name.
+- Move JobFiles and JobBytes to SD rather than FD -- more correct.
- Add client name to cram-md5 challenge so Director can immediately
verify if it is the correct client.
-- Implement a record that suppresses errors if the Client is not
- available.
- Use runbeforejob to unload, then reload a volume previously used,
then the next job run gets an error reading the drive.
-- Implement non-blocking writes and bsock->terminate in heartbeat thread,
- or set it in status.c cancel.
-- Add restore to specific date.
- lstat() is not going to work on Win32 for testing date.
- Implement a Recycle command
- Something is not right in last block of fill command.
- Implement List Volume Job=xxx or List scheduled volumes or
Status Director
-- Instrument use_count on DEVICE packets and ensure that the device is
- being close()ed at the appropriate time.
- Check if Incremental is working correctly when it looks for the previous Job
(Phil's problem).
- Add next Volume to be used to status output.
- Make bootstrap filename unique.
-- Sort JobIds entered into recover tree.
- The bsr for Dan's job has file indexes covering the whole range rather
than only the range contained on the volume.
Constrain FileIndex to be within range for Volume.
- Prohibit backing up archive device (findlib/find_one.c:128)
- Make Restore report an error if FD or SD term codes are not OK.
- Add JobLevel in FD status (but make sure it is defined).
-- Make Pool resource handle Counter resources.
- Restrict characters permitted in a Resource name, and don't permit
duplicate names.
- Implement new serialize subroutines
- Add Progress command that periodically reports the progress of
a job or all jobs.
-- Implement "Reschedule OnError=yes interval=nnn times=xxx"
- One block was orphaned in the SD probably after cancel.
- Add all command line arguments to "update", e.g. slot=nn volStatus=append, ...
Item 2: Make the Storage daemon use intermediate file storage to buffer data.
-Deferred -- not necessary yet.
+Deferred -- not necessary yet -- possibly implement with Migration.
What: If data is coming into the SD too fast, buffer it to
disk if the user has configured this option.
Item 5: Implement Label templates
+Done
What: This is a mechanism whereby Bacula can automatically create
a tape label for new tapes according to a detailed specification
Item 9: Add SSL to daemon communications.
-Inprogress as of version 1.31.
What: This provides for secure communications between the daemons.
Do lstat() to see if it is already properly linked.
Same for symlinked file.
Make sure ifnewer, ifolder, never, ... apply correctly.
+- Flag so that no connect does not error, and Reschedule a job.
+- Implement "Reschedule OnError=yes interval=nnn times=xxx"
+- That restoring a hard link that already exists works correctly.
+ Same for soft link.
+- Make Pool resource handle Counter resources.
+- Fix first block number after label to be zero instead of 1 (reset after label).
+- Grep for Backup OK in regression script.
+- Do NOT reuse same JobId if tape written.
+- Implement non-blocking writes and bsock->terminate in heartbeat
+ thread, or set it in status.c cancel (used pthread_kill() instead of
+ non-blocking I/O.
+- Add restore to specific date.
+- Instrument use_count on DEVICE packets and ensure that the device is
+ being close()ed at the appropriate time.
+- Test long path names (>64 chars) in Windows -- crashes FD?
+- Implement fast block rejection: match_bsr_block().
