11 | - use rpmatch() for all Y/N ? |

| 13 | - rewrite ipcs to use /proc/sys/kernel rather than unreliable syscalls | |

| 19 | lib/blkdevsize.c: blkdev_get_size(), blkdev_get_sectors(), blkdev_get_pages() | |

31 | In the past the right record order could be figured out easily by just |
| 32 | checking out fstab (if one knew what to look for) but considering the | |
| 33 | fastly increasing number of user space file systems and their usage, with | |
| 34 | their path, library, etc dependencies, it's getting trickier and is a black | |
| 35 | magic for most users because they simply expect drives to be mounted | |
| 36 | independently of their order in fstab. | |
| 31cc369d | 37 | |
| 883fff9f | 38 | One typical, wrongly edited fstab example is: |
| 8b0f4ae9 | 39 | |
| 883fff9f KZ |
40 | /dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults 1 1 |
| 41 | /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 | |
| 42 | /dev/hda3 /usr ext3 defaults 0 0 | |
| 8b0f4ae9 | 43 | |
| 883fff9f | 44 | The events: |
| 1c51a368 | 45 | |
| 883fff9f KZ |
46 | mount -> /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g -> |
| 47 | -> resolves to <path1>/ntfs-3g via a symlink -> | |
| 48 | -> ntfs-3g requires at least <path2>/libfuse* | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | There are many potential solutions. For example installing everything on | |
| 51 | the root file system which may be needed for successful mount. But this | |
| 52 | is not always feasible or practical since we could end up putting almost | |
| 53 | everything on the root file system in the end. | |
| 54 | ||
| 55 | Another idea is an improved mount strategy: | |
| 56 | ||
| 57 | do { | |
| 58 | try to mount all unmounted entries | |
| 59 | } while (not all mounted && at least one new was successfully mounted) | |
