Kern's ToDo List
- 02 May 2008
+ 17 July 2009
+
+Rescue:
+Add to USB key:
+ gftp sshfs kile kate lsssci m4 mtx nfs-common nfs-server
+ patch squashfs-tools strace sg3-utils screen scsiadd
+ system-tools-backend telnet dpkg traceroute urar usbutils
+ whois apt-file autofs busybox chkrootkit clamav dmidecode
+ manpages-dev manpages-posix manpages-posix-dev
Document:
+- package sg3-utils, program sg_map
- !!! Cannot restore two jobs a the same time that were
written simultaneously unless they were totally spooled.
- Document cleaning up the spool files:
- Detect state change of system (verify)
- Synthetic Full, Diff, Inc (Virtual, Reconstructed)
- SD to SD
-- Modules for Databases, Exchange, ...
- Novell NSS backup http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/18952.html
- Compliance norms that compare restored code hash code.
- When glibc crash, get address with
info symbol 0x809780c
- How to sync remote offices.
-- Exchange backup:

- David's priorities
Copypools
Extract capability (#25)
Priority:
================
+
+- When reserving a device to read, check to see if the Volume
+ is already in use, if so wait. Probably will need to pass the
+ Volume. See bug #1313. Create a regression test to simulate
+ this problem and see if VolumePollInterval fixes it. Possibly turn
+ it on by default.
+
+- Fix restore of acls and extended attributes to count ERROR
+ messages and make errors non-fatal.
+- Put save/restore various platform acl/xattrs on a pointer to simplify
+ the code.
+
+- Why no error message if restore has no permission on the where
+ directory?
+- Possibly allow manual "purge" to purge a Volume that has not
+ yet been written (even if FirstWritten time is zero) see ua_purge.c
+ is_volume_purged().
+- Add disk block detection bsr code (make it work).
+- Remove done bsrs.
+- Add blast attributes to DIR to SD.
+- Detect deadlocks in reservations.
+- Plugins:
+ - Add list during dump
+ - Add in plugin code flag
+ - Add bRC_EndJob -- stops more calls to plugin this job
+ - Add bRC_Term (unload plugin)
+ - remove time_t from Jmsg and use utime_t?
+- Deadlock detection, watchdog sees if counter advances when jobs are
+ running. With debug on, can do a "status" command.
+- User options for plugins.
+- Pool Storage override precedence over command line.
- Autolabel only if Volume catalog information indicates tape not
written. This will avoid overwriting a tape that gets an I/O
error on reading the volume label.
+- I/O error, SD thinks it is not the right Volume, should check slot
+ then disable volume, but Asks for mount.
- Can be posible modify package to create and use configuration files in
the Debian manner?
Win32 to avoid patent problems.
- Implement multiple jobid specification for the cancel command,
similar to what is permitted on the update slots command.
-- Implement Bacula plugins -- design API
- modify pruning to keep a fixed number of versions of a file,
if requested.
- the cd-command should allow complete paths
its faster to enter the specified directory
- Make tree walk routines like cd, ls, ... more user friendly
by handling spaces better.
+- When doing a restore, if the user does an "update slots"
+ after the job started in order to add a restore volume, the
+ values prior to the update slots will be put into the catalog.
+ Must retrieve catalog record merge it then write it back at the
+ end of the restore job, if we want to do this right.
