Hello, lately we've had couple of bugs against dump utility and a after a quick look at the code I realized that it is very much outdated at least on the extN side of things and would need some work and attention to make it work reliably with modern ext4 features. However the code has been neglected for a while and talking to the maintainer he is pretty much done with it. At this point I am ready to pull the plug on dump/restore in Fedora, but before I do I was wondering whether there is any interest in moving dump/restore, or part of it, into e2fsprogs ? I have not looked at the code close enought to say whether it's worth it or whether it would be better to write something from scratch. There is also a question about what to do with the tape code - that's not something I have any interest in digging into. In my eyes dump had a good run and I would be happy just dumping it, but it is worth asking here on the list. Is there anyone interested in maintaining dump/restore, or is there interest in or objections agains merging it into e2fsprogs ? Thanks! -Lukas
