AM-UTILS-6.1 TASKS TODO Please volunteer to do any of the following: - autofs support: see README.autofs for details. - deal with everything that has XXX on it in the sources - documentation update ("XXX: FILL IN" sections). - compatibility with Sun's automount maps? should be easier via the amd.conf file to specify type of map - convert to using my own rpcgen .x files for amq/amq/nfs (v2 and v3) - use packaging info for various OSs (such as RPM, Redhat Package Manager) - $mindelay and $maxdelay in milliseconds - multiple nfsl should be matched if one matched and nfs mount failed. fall through. - support multiple "fail-over read-only" NFS mounts in Solaris 2.6+. - random nfs rhost:={srv1, srv2, srv3} - nfslx, same as nfsl, but using linkx - loadable info_*, amfs_*, and ops_* modules (lazy evaluation). - hlfsd should daemonize even if -DDEBUG, then use -D nofork - fixmount should use generic code from transp/transp_{tli,sockets}.c - reverse notion of -F and other cmd-line options, so they override the amd.conf file (right now amd.conf overrides cmd-line options). - add am-utils URL and COPYRIGHT to all distributed scripts and sources and programs etc. also to amq -v output. - ion: browsable_dirs only works for nis if in [global] broken if it is file maps. - browsable 'auto' style maps. - mention signals in amd man page - ALLOWED_MOUNT_TIME of 40 seconds is way too long! - detecting down'ed hosts faster: use default portmap TTL variables? - push get_nfs_version() down into a child process - type:=program should not require umount command. can use default umount(). it works for smbmount/umount. - document var[0-7] variables/selectors - need a way to export a nfs-mount point after it is being mounted (jukebox mounts). can do this with type:=program. - support port=n, for machines that use NFS on a different port - nfsl may be buggy when fs:= is specified explicitly (lockup?) - y2k: amq /home (mounted time uses YY instead of YYYY) - new amd.conf option to disable amq listener altogether (security) Should be available even if DEBUG is off. - new amd.conf option dynamic_system_params to recompute osver, karch, etc. from uname() dynamically. - solaris 8 doesn't pick up hsfs/pcfs/etc *_args structures and mount flags - avoid having to compile ops_nfs3.o - linux support for ext3 - be able to pass generic mount options to systems w/ a mount(2) that supports it (Linux). Perhaps genopt="foo,bar" syntax. - support several different nfs servers inside one nfsx entry - reimplement the "parallel mounting" for multiple matching sub-entries - fix amd.conf parser so it can parse key=value without spaces around the "=" sign. Note this isn't so trivial because 'value' may include "=" signs. - NFSv4 support (such a short "tasks" entry given how much work it is :-) * documentation - document what can and what can't be a top-level mount type (i.e. a map-backed or map-holding type). Currently that's toplvl, auto, and direct. - document how to add a direct map to amd.conf. * autofs stuff Linux: - host mounts broken with autofs v3 - nfsx status unknown - local filesystems (ufs, etc) status unknown Solaris: - host mounts status unknown - nfsx status unknown - local filesystems (ufs, etc) status unknown FreeBSD: - just do it All: - mntfs->mf_fo->opt_fs can contain garbage sometimes??
