From Bas:
|
|
1) DAT tape works with tar from command line but not within kdat when the
|
|
device is specified as /dev/st0. It works within kdat when a symbolic
|
|
link to /dev/tape is made and given to kdat, but only if the startup
|
|
option "mount tape at startup" is NOT checked.
|
|

|
From RG:
|
|
1) Restore data
|
|
when asked for "Restore to directory:" in Dialog box "Restore Options"
|
|
enter a not existing directory (e.g.: /tmp/xyz ), kdat will restore, but no
|
|
data is written to requested place, Logfile shows success.
|
|
!!!! The data are restored to the place, where application kdat is started !
|
|
reason: file VerifyDlg.cpp line: 397
|
|
> void VerifyDlg::show()
|
|
> {
|
|
> chdir( QFile::encodeName(_workingDir) );
|
|
>
|
|
there is no error handling !!!
|
|
|
|
same problem for Verify !
|
|
How to deal with ??
|
|
- Restore: ask the user, if kdat should create the new directory ?
|
|
- Verify: a verify makes no sense, if the directory is not existing
|
|
|
|
So I think a correction should be done within the
|
|
VerifyOptDlg::okClicked() method !?!
|
|
2) adding new data to a tape, UI is not updated, while forwarding to the end of
|
|
tape
|
|
3) forward to the end of tape: text in status line not completely visible
|
|
4) tape with 10 and more archives:
|
|
Tape or Tape Index: Archives not correctly ordered:
|
|
1, 10, 12, 12, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
|
|
Note: The reindexing run lists them in correct oder
|
|
5) status line: only sunken, where text is why not complete status line ?
|
|
|
|

|
|
1) When a dump fails with a write() error, no index is written
|
|
to disk. When the tape is then mounted, kdat does not
|
|
prompt to ask whether the index should be recreated.
|
|
/* 2002-01-31 LEW. This may now be fixed by adding freopen() */
|
|
2) From RG:
|
|
- change of Archive Name is not written to file (Tape Index)
|
|
open Tape Index, select archive, modify Archive Name (right pane),
|
|
press Apply, Note: tree is updated,
|
|
quit kdat, restart kdat, open Tape Index, old name appears
|
|
/* 2002-01-31 LEW. This is now fixed by adding freopen() */
|
|
- kdat, mounted tape, open tree Tape, select an archive,
|
|
go to right pane, unmount tape via toolbar icon
|
|
--> right pane is still active, but useless ??
|
|
Do now a modification of Archive name, -> Entry under
|
|
Tape INdexes is updated !
|
|
- Tree: Click on Selected/unselected Icon opend/closes the subtree
|
|
/* 2002-01-30 LEW: workaround is in place */
|
|
|
|
Nice to have:
|
|
- System Notification (Sound, when backup/Restore/Verify is
|
|
finished, OK or error )
|
|
- Rewind on unmount ?!?
|
|
- kdat does not respect the user setting of the decimal seperator in
|
|
kcontrol -> Personalization -> Contry & Language -> Numbers
|
|
|
|
3) From FP:
|
|
A.) * mount a tape with a backup on it
|
|
- open a directory with click on the plus sign
|
|
- open again a dir only with click on plus until you see a file
|
|
- click on the white quadrat to select this file
|
|
=> crash
|
|
/* 2002-01-30 LEW: hopefully, this is fixed in the KDat.cpp:1250 patch */
|
|
B.) - select a single file (black x):
|
|
- the restore doesn't restore only that file, but also
|
|
the content of the directories above (they marked with the
|
|
grey X for "some_selected")
|
|
C.) * mount a tape with a backup on it
|
|
- open a directory with click on the plus sign
|
|
- click on the name of a directory
|
|
=> "Restore" and "Verify" in Toolbar becomes active,
|
|
but there are no visible (x) selected dirs/files shown
|
|
(A restore in that situation restores that file and all
|
|
dirs above including there additional content - see B)
|
|
D.) - save log in the restore window brings up a Qt file dialog?
|
|
E.) - a directory containing a file (size 194byte) is not restored
|
|
- not with trying the file directly: startrecord: 10104 end 10109
|
|
or the dir above: startrecord 10103 end 10104
|
|
F.) * mount a tape with a backup on it
|
|
- open the tree, do 2 dirs deeper and select a file inside (black X)
|
|
- restore that file
|
|
the restore window comes up select a dir etc,
|
|
after the successful restore close the Restore window with ok
|
|
-> the file is still in black selected, the dirs above in grey
|
|
- now collapse the tree above the file with clicking on the "+"
|
|
of a grey marked dir
|
|
=> crash
|
|
/* 2002-01-30 LEW: hopefully, this is fixed in the KDat.cpp:1250 patch */

|
|
1) Major memory leak or very inefficient memory allocation:
|
|
Saving the log file to disk is very slow (158560 lines of text
|
|
over 50 min). The free function shows that at the end of the save()
|
|
function, there were 35MB of swap space left on the machine. After
|
|
the log file was freed from memory (again a very long process),
|
|
there were 361MB free (a difference of 326MB, or 2KB per line,
|
|
where each line has an average of 63 characters.
|
|
top showed that the size of kdat was 235M with RSS=215M when
|
|
the log file memory allocation was freed. free RAM during
|
|
this time was 3MB (out of 257MB). When kdat was terminated, free
|
|
RAM increased from 3MB to 214MB.
|
|
|
|
2002-01-28
|
|
1) The font size and line spacing vary from machine to machine
|
|
(e.g., Red Hat 7.0 and Red Hat 7.2). The dialog window has
|
|
been made larger until a way to size automatically is set up.
|
|
|
|
2002-01-25
|
|
|
|
1) FP notes "This part of KDat seems to need a cleanup in a
|
|
later version. For example the toolbar icons are in real at
|
|
a size at 22x22, but the filenames say 16x16. If you
|
|
change the names to hi22 kdat don't find them :-( In the
|
|
future there should be a set of 16x16, 22x22 and 32x32
|
|
toolbar icons, the menu and toolbar can then be created
|
|
with the TDEAction class and XMLGUI and the toolbar menu will
|
|
then have an effect :-)"
|
|
|
|
2002-01-23
|
|
|
|
1) FP reports: "One more problem: If you open in the tree a
|
|
archive and try to select some dir inside, a error handler
|
|
comes up and I have to kill KDat." /* 2002-01-28 LEW: this
|
|
problem is intermittent. A signal handler is now added
|
|
that allows the user to dump core when a problem occurs. */
|
|
|
|
2) LEW can't see archives on tape. /* 2002-01-28 LEW: this
|
|
problem mysteriously disappeared today. Perhaps it had
|
|
something to do with configuration. In case it recurs, the
|
|
notes below showing a relationship to _stubbed are retained. */
|
|
/* 2002-01-31 LEW. This may now be fixed by adding freopen() */
|
|
|
|
Progress so far:
|
|
|
|
2002-01-26 LEW: in Tape.cpp, readVersion4Index() on a recent tape dump
|
|
shows that numArchives is 0 even though the tape has the dumped files
|
|
on it (as shown by running tar tfv /dev/nst0 3 times). A problem with
|
|
creating the archive after the tape is dumped? In fact, the Archive
|
|
dialog during the dump shows that no files are being dumped when in
|
|
fact they are.
|
|
|
|
Also, TapeManager::findTape() shows that the newly mounted tape's ID
|
|
is used to retrieve the Tape* entry in _tapes, but _tapes has no
|
|
entries. It is supposed to contain the details from all the index
|
|
files in the appdata directory. But, when those files are read when
|
|
the TapeManager is instantiated, only their names are stored
|
|
(in QStringList _tapeIDs). The files themselves are not examined.
|
|
|
|
2002-01-28 LEW: On further examination, the BackupDlg widget does in fact
|
|
call Tape::addChild( Archive* archive ) to add the new archive, and
|
|
addChild() does call read() in preparation for updating the on-disk
|
|
tape file. However, read() refuses to do anything because the tape
|
|
isn't stubbed (_stubbed==FALSE). I don't know what this means yet.
|
|
Forcing _stubbed=TRUE doesn't work either. It looks like _stubbed has
|
|
to do with whether the tape ID is recognized as belonging to an index
|
|
file on disk or not (see the second paragraph of 2002-01-26).
|
|
|
|
2002-01-21
|
|
|
|
1) While dumping 9.5GB to 8.3GB tape:
|
|
In file tools/qgarray.cpp, line 227: Out of memory
|
|
tdeinit: Fatal IO error: client killed
|
|
tdeinit: sending SIGHUP to children.
|
|
Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy
|
|
tdeinit: sending SIGTERM to children.
|
|
tdeinit: Exit.
|
|
/* 2002-01-21 LEW: added signal handler to KDat so it won't
|
|
crash when it receives SIGHUPs, SIGTERMs, etc., and that
|
|
allows user to dump core if (s)he wishes. */

c/o rolandg at onlinehome.de:
|
|
|
|
2) Tree Widget: Mounted Tape
|
|
Icon too big -> the backup sets are not visible on the screen.
|
|
If I select the archive, I see the upper pixel of some marked text.
|
|
|
|
3) Tree Widget: Tape Index is empty, but I did just a few minutes ago
|
|
a 1st backup onto the the tape.
|
|
The tape index file is stored in .kde/share/apps/kdat.
|
|
/* 2002-01-24 RG sent patch */
|
|
|
|
4) Backup Profiles
|
|
o Delete Profile does not work
|
|
o after creating several new profiles the directory .kde/share/apps/kdat
|
|
lists some with their default names, and some with the by me defined
|
|
profile names.
|
|
5) When backup up some more files, kdat calculates the complete size
|
|
of the data. In the status line the filenames are running through.
|
|
I see no way to cancel this action. /* 2002-01-24 LEW: new dialog added */

|
2002-01-20 Outstanding bugs
|
|
|
|
1) The vertical line in the tree widget that shows indenting levels is not
|
|
drawn correctly: there is a small hole in the dir lines. (Thanks
|
|
to Frank Pieczynski <pieczyk at knuut.de>.) /* fixed 2002-01-24 with new
|
|
icons that FP sent in. */
|
|
2) when files are restored, they are copied correctly from the tape to
|
|
disk, but their names in the log window are corrupted (this is an old
|
|
bug). /* reported fixed by RG 2002-01-23 */
|
|
3) Verify quits early (this is an old bug).
|
|
|
|
2001-08-01 These are possible sources of bugs:
|
|
|
|
1) don't return 0 instead of a null TQString
|
|
(e.g., BackupProfile::getWorkingDirectory())
|
|
2) don't test for FALSE predicate values with
|
|
!(). Use == FALSE instead.
|
|
3) don't piggyback .remove with .first:
|
|
_relativeFiles.remove(_relativeFiles.first())
|
|
|
|
Instead, separate the two:
|
|
TQString my_first = _relativeFiles.first();
|
|
_relativeFiles.remove( my_first );
|
|
|
|
This may be important with any call to .remove()
|
|
as may be found with: `grep "\.remove" *.cpp`
|
