30 | In the past the right record order could be figured out easily by just |
31 | checking out fstab (if one knew what to look for) but considering the | |
32 | fastly increasing number of user space file systems and their usage, with | |
33 | their path, library, etc dependencies, it's getting trickier and is a black | |
34 | magic for most users because they simply expect drives to be mounted | |
35 | independently of their order in fstab. | |

883fff9f | 37 | One typical, wrongly edited fstab example is: |
8b0f4ae9 | 38 | |
883fff9f KZ |
39 | /dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults 1 1 |
40 | /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 | |
41 | /dev/hda3 /usr ext3 defaults 0 0 | |
8b0f4ae9 | 42 | |
883fff9f | 43 | The events: |
1c51a368 | 44 | |
883fff9f KZ |
45 | mount -> /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g -> |
46 | -> resolves to <path1>/ntfs-3g via a symlink -> | |
47 | -> ntfs-3g requires at least <path2>/libfuse* | |
48 | ||
49 | There are many potential solutions. For example installing everything on | |
50 | the root file system which may be needed for successful mount. But this | |
51 | is not always feasible or practical since we could end up putting almost | |
52 | everything on the root file system in the end. | |
53 | ||
54 | Another idea is an improved mount strategy: | |
55 | ||
56 | do { | |
57 | try to mount all unmounted entries | |
58 | } while (not all mounted && at least one new was successfully mounted) | |

66 | * minix v3 | |

71 | It seems that the kernel has support for minix fs v3 | |
72 | (though I have not tried it, just inspected some code when | |
73 | trying to find a mkfs.minix issue). | |
74 | It might be worth a thought implementing v3 support | |
75 | (though I am not really sure how much people us minix fs ;-) | |
76 | This might require some major code cleanup in mkfs.minix. | |

78 | * rtcwake does not support wake from S5/off |

81 | * add SELinux security contexts support to the 'ipcs' utility | |
82 | http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225342 | |
83 | ||
84 | Would be great to list the current system IPC Objects with their respective | |
85 | security labels (where allowed) with something like 'ipcs -Z' - following the | |
86 | way other tools reports those. | |
