2 | -------- | |
5d5ae40b | 3 | |
a24f0ade | 4 | - add command line interface for blkid_probe_filter_types(): |

a24f0ade | 6 | # blkid -p -o udev --filter-type nofat |

8 | - (?) we need to ignore cache and config files when the files are writable |
9 | for non-root users and the library is linked with suid programs | |
5c94bacb | 10 | |
a24f0ade KZ |
11 | - add -<BE|LE> suffix to test images for native-endian filesystems (e.g. swap) |
12 | and add support for such functionality to tests/ts/blkid/low-probe | |
5c94bacb | 13 | |
a24f0ade | 14 | - consolidate "getsize" stuff (see getsize.c and lib/blkdev.c) |
f4a94b4b | 15 | |
a24f0ade KZ |
16 | - add values: |
17 | ||
18 | FSSIZE -- filesystem size (klibc requirement) | |
19 | ||
a0fff7ce KZ |
20 | - add reference counters to the binary interfaces. Currently, all chain |
21 | data are allocated in blkid_probe and cannot be used independently on | |
22 | the probing stuff. | |

33 | * use off_t instead "long long" | |

42 | * use something better than gtk-doc (doxyden?) |
43 | ||
a24f0ade KZ |
44 | * add to lib/blkdev.c code for /proc/partitions parsing -- unfortunate we |
45 | duplicate this code in many places. The parser has to support unlimited | |
46 | size (or 4096 bytes) of partition name. | |

56 | Although mkswap has recently been -L option to create a label nothing appears to |
57 | have been change to swapon to display said labels. (rh#430386) | |

75 | In the past the right record order could be figured out easily by just |
76 | checking out fstab (if one knew what to look for) but considering the | |
77 | fastly increasing number of user space file systems and their usage, with | |
78 | their path, library, etc dependencies, it's getting trickier and is a black | |
79 | magic for most users because they simply expect drives to be mounted | |
80 | independently of their order in fstab. | |
31cc369d | 81 | |
883fff9f | 82 | One typical, wrongly edited fstab example is: |
8b0f4ae9 | 83 | |
883fff9f KZ |
84 | /dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults 1 1 |
85 | /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 | |
86 | /dev/hda3 /usr ext3 defaults 0 0 | |
8b0f4ae9 | 87 | |
883fff9f | 88 | The events: |
1c51a368 | 89 | |
883fff9f KZ |
90 | mount -> /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g -> |
91 | -> resolves to <path1>/ntfs-3g via a symlink -> | |
92 | -> ntfs-3g requires at least <path2>/libfuse* | |
93 | ||
94 | There are many potential solutions. For example installing everything on | |
95 | the root file system which may be needed for successful mount. But this | |
96 | is not always feasible or practical since we could end up putting almost | |
97 | everything on the root file system in the end. | |
98 | ||
99 | Another idea is an improved mount strategy: | |
100 | ||
101 | do { | |
102 | try to mount all unmounted entries | |
103 | } while (not all mounted && at least one new was successfully mounted) | |

105 | * agetty: use nl_langinfo() for days and months rather than hardcoded |
106 | English names. | |
107 | ||
669eecf3 KZ |
108 | * rewrite ipcs to use /proc/sys/kernel rather than unreliable syscalls |
109 | (there are problems with 32bit userspace on 64bit kernel) | |
110 | ||
111 | * minix v3 | |

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

123 | * rtcwake does not support wake from S5/off |
124 | http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449115 | |
125 | ||
126 | * add SELinux security contexts support to the 'ipcs' utility | |
127 | http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225342 | |
128 | ||
129 | Would be great to list the current system IPC Objects with their respective | |
130 | security labels (where allowed) with something like 'ipcs -Z' - following the | |
131 | way other tools reports those. | |
