dcb67393 KZ |
18 | - think about optional "event" records in timing file to save information |
19 | about non-data changes like signals (SIGWINCH, SIGSTOP, SIGCONT, etc.) | |
20 | in format: | |
21 | ||
22 | <time> 0 <name>[: var=data, ...] | |
23 | ||
24 | for example: | |
25 | ||
26 | 0.001296 256 | |
27 | 0.001297 0 SIGWINCH: columns=50, lines=20 | |

31 | ----- | |
4e6bd9ad KZ |
32 | - rewrite lsblk to read all devices tree to memory to make it more extendable. Now |
33 | it always keep in memory just one device (only final output is buffered by | |
34 | libsmartcols, but this stuff are output strings, nothing else). | |

39 | lscpu |
40 | ----- | |
41 | - read cpuid and uname information from file if --sysroot is specified, then | |
42 | we can prepare regression tests completely independent on hw and architecture. | |
43 | ||

44 | lsblk |
45 | ----- | |
be869840 KZ |
46 | - re-write the way how lsblk internally holds info about devices. Now we |
47 | compose only output (by libsmartcols). It would be better to have in memory | |
48 | complete tree of the devices and generate the output from this tree. It will | |
49 | make code more readable and allow to generate output in more ways -- for | |
50 | example for RAIDs (https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/616) | |
51 | ||
5b7be990 KZ |
52 | - currently it does not show mountpoint for all devices in btrfs RAID. It's because |
53 | /proc/#/mountinfo contains reference to the one device only. Maybe we can add some | |
54 | btrfs specific code to provide a better output for FS based stacks. Not sure. | |

62 | hwlock |
63 | ------ | |
64 | - use /var/lib/hwclock/drift to store hw-clock drift numbers. | |
65 | - use /etc/adjtime as read-only for UTC/LOCAL information only | |
66 | - the /var/lib/hwclock/drift should be implemented backwardly compatible, | |
67 | it means use the file only if exists, otherwise follow /etc/adjtime | |

69 | bash completion |
70 | --------------- | |
20a51056 | 71 | - Optional argument handling requires user to press backspace to get |
58c41e15 | 72 | argument completion. |
20a51056 SK |
73 | - Comma separated value, e.g., --output 'value1,value2', are not |
74 | completed for users. | |

76 | libmount (mount/umount) |
77 | ----------------------- | |
01df6eeb | 78 | |
7c79c341 KZ |
79 | - remount all filesystems given their type, for example: |
80 | mount -a -t tmpfs -o remount | |
81 | It should be probably enough to add remount_all() to mount(8) in way we | |
82 | already have mount_all(). https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/589 | |
83 | ||
25629819 KZ |
84 | - add --onlyonce to force mount(8) to check if mountpoint is already used. Now |
85 | "already mounted" detection is used for --all only. The problem is if you | |
86 | call "mount <mountpoint>" more than once for in fstab defined tmpfs (or network | |
87 | filesystem etc.). In this case kernel does not return EBUSY, but a new instance | |
88 | of the FS is created. https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/448 | |
7c79c341 | 89 | (... just idea, maybe wrong idea) |
25629819 | 90 | |
3f30dedd KZ |
91 | - support CAP_SYS_ADMIN; for mount(2) syscall the CAP_SYS_ADMIN is good |
92 | enough. Unfortunately, mount(8) does more things like check for filesystem | |
93 | type (but it's usually done by udev, so root perms are unnecessary), create | |
94 | loop devices, write to /run/mount/utab or /etc/mtab, etc. | |
95 | ||
96 | It would be nice to improve libmount to check for CAP_SYS_ADMIN if suid not | |
97 | set and allow to use it for simple tasks where no another operation is | |
98 | necessary. | |

103 | - support mapping by device-mapper if argv[0] is "kpartx" or --dm option is used. |

107 | ---- | |
108 | ||
109 | - (!) use something better than gtk-doc for libmount and libblkid (doxyden?) | |
110 | ||
111 | - (!) add API documentation to libuuid | |

113 | exit codes |
114 | ---------- | |
115 | ||
116 | - we need coreutils-like exit codes for failed exec(). See: | |

118 | and original attempt: | |

121 | login-utils: |
122 | ----------- | |
123 | ||
b75b23b4 KZ |
124 | - consolidate newgrp(1) |
125 | * we have "su --group/--supp-group" to switch between groups, newgrp(1) in | |
126 | util-linux and shadow-utils (and sg(1) alias in shadow-utils) | |
127 | * the unique functionality provided by newgpr(1) is support for group | |
128 | passwords [/etc/gshadow] -- do we really need this functionality? | |
129 | * maybe we can mark group-passwords as deprecated, and replace sg(1) and | |
73afd3f8 | 130 | newgpr(1) with su(1) code. The another way is to ask for group password in |
b75b23b4 KZ |
131 | su --group too. |
132 | * note that shadow-utils newgpr(1) provides support for syslog and audit log. | |

150 | fdisk |
151 | ----- | |
152 | ||
153 | - When creating a new partition, it would be helpful if the "Last sector" | |
154 | dialog accepted negative numbers, to be able to specify how far from the | |
155 | end of the drive you would like the partition to end. | |

8da18ddb KZ |
169 | http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225342 |
170 | ||
171 | Would be great to list the current system IPC Objects with their respective | |
172 | security labels (where allowed) with something like 'ipcs -Z' - following the | |
173 | way other tools reports those. | |
