  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.
  36
  37         One typical, wrongly edited fstab example is:
  38
  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
  42
  43         The events:
  44
  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)
  59
  60  * agetty: use nl_langinfo() for days and months rather than hardcoded
  61    English names.
  62
  63  * rewrite ipcs to use /proc/sys/kernel rather than unreliable syscalls
  64    (there are problems with 32bit userspace on 64bit kernel)
  65
  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
  79    http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449115

  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.
