1			  AM-UTILS-6.1 TASKS TODO
2
3Please volunteer to do any of the following:
4
5- autofs support: see README.autofs for details.
6
7- deal with everything that has XXX on it in the sources
8- documentation update ("XXX: FILL IN" sections).
9
10- compatibility with Sun's automount maps?
11	should be easier via the amd.conf file to specify type of map
12
13- convert to using my own rpcgen .x files for amq/amq/nfs (v2 and v3)
14
15- use packaging info for various OSs (such as RPM, Redhat Package Manager)
16
17- $mindelay and $maxdelay in milliseconds
18
19- multiple nfsl should be matched if one matched and nfs mount failed.  fall
20  through.
21- support multiple "fail-over read-only" NFS mounts in Solaris 2.6+.
22
23- random nfs rhost:={srv1, srv2, srv3}
24
25- nfslx, same as nfsl, but using linkx
26
27- loadable info_*, amfs_*, and ops_* modules (lazy evaluation).
28
29- hlfsd should daemonize even if -DDEBUG, then use -D nofork
30
31- fixmount should use generic code from transp/transp_{tli,sockets}.c
32
33- reverse notion of -F and other cmd-line options, so they override the
34  amd.conf file (right now amd.conf overrides cmd-line options).
35
36- add am-utils URL and COPYRIGHT to all distributed scripts and sources and
37  programs etc. also to amq -v output.
38
39- ion: browsable_dirs only works for nis if in [global] broken if it is file
40  maps.
41
42- browsable 'auto' style maps.
43
44- mention signals in amd man page
45
46- ALLOWED_MOUNT_TIME of 40 seconds is way too long!
47- detecting down'ed hosts faster: use default portmap TTL variables?
48- push get_nfs_version() down into a child process
49
50- type:=program should not require umount command. can use default
51  umount(). it works for smbmount/umount.
52
53- document var[0-7] variables/selectors
54
55- need a way to export a nfs-mount point after it is being mounted (jukebox
56  mounts).  can do this with type:=program.
57
58- support port=n, for machines that use NFS on a different port
59
60- nfsl may be buggy when fs:= is specified explicitly (lockup?)
61
62- y2k: amq /home (mounted time uses YY instead of YYYY)
63
64- new amd.conf option to disable amq listener altogether (security)
65	Should be available even if DEBUG is off.
66
67- new amd.conf option dynamic_system_params to recompute osver, karch,
68  etc. from uname() dynamically.
69
70- solaris 8 doesn't pick up hsfs/pcfs/etc *_args structures and mount flags
71
72- avoid having to compile ops_nfs3.o
73
74- linux support for ext3
75
76- be able to pass generic mount options to systems w/ a mount(2) that
77  supports it (Linux).  Perhaps genopt="foo,bar" syntax.
78
79- support several different nfs servers inside one nfsx entry
80
81- reimplement the "parallel mounting" for multiple matching sub-entries
82
83- fix amd.conf parser so it can parse key=value without spaces around the
84  "=" sign.  Note this isn't so trivial because 'value' may include "="
85  signs.
86
87- NFSv4 support (such a short "tasks" entry given how much work it is :-)
88
89
90* documentation
91- document what can and what can't be a top-level mount type (i.e. a
92  map-backed or map-holding type). Currently that's toplvl, auto, and
93  direct.
94- document how to add a direct map to amd.conf.
95
96* autofs stuff
97Linux:
98- host mounts broken with autofs v3
99- nfsx status unknown
100- local filesystems (ufs, etc) status unknown
101
102Solaris:
103- host mounts status unknown
104- nfsx status unknown
105- local filesystems (ufs, etc) status unknown
106
107FreeBSD:
108- just do it
109
110All:
111- mntfs->mf_fo->opt_fs can contain garbage sometimes??
