libblkid
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
- add command line interface for blkid_probe_filter_types():
|
||||
|
||||
# blkid -p -o udev --filter-type nofat
|
||||
|
||||
- (?) we need to ignore cache and config files when the files are writable
|
||||
for non-root users and the library is linked with suid programs
|
||||
|
||||
- add -<BE|LE> suffix to test images for native-endian filesystems (e.g. swap)
|
||||
and add support for such functionality to tests/ts/blkid/low-probe
|
||||
|
||||
- do we really need to depend on libuuid? Maybe the default should be
|
||||
use in-tree code rather and link against libuuid -- especially when we
|
||||
need it for uuid_unparse() only.
|
||||
|
||||
- consolidate "getsize" stuff (see getsize.c and lib/blkdev.c)
|
||||
|
||||
- cleanup __attribute__ usage
|
||||
|
||||
- add stripe size / alignment retrival support to libbkid for use
|
||||
with mkfs. This would allow to deprecate libdisk from xfsprogs (1)
|
||||
in favour of a common libblkid.

|

- use fstatat() in blkid__scan_dir()
|
||||
|
||||
- add values:
|
||||
|
||||
FSSIZE -- filesystem size (klibc requirement)
|
||||
|
||||
SBOFFSET -- superblock offset; offset where SB was detected
|
||||
(swapon requirement to check details from swap header)
|
||||
|
||||
MAGIC -- magic string
|
||||
MAGICLEN -- length of magic string
|
||||
|
||||
fdisk(s)
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
* use off_t instead "long long"
|
||||
|
||||
* fdisk/* refactoring
|
||||
|
||||
* add GPT support
|
||||
|
||||
misc
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
* add a new command (unshare, clone, or so...) with all kinds of
|
||||
clone(2) options.
|
||||
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.util-linux-ng/2178
|
||||
|
||||
* add to lib/blkdev.c code for /proc/partitions parsing -- unfortunate we
|
||||
duplicate this code in many places. The parser has to support unlimited
|
||||
size (or 4096 bytes) of partition name.
|
||||
|
||||
* fdisk/* -- use off_t instead "long long"
|
||||
|
||||
* mkswap: use /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid as a fallback solution for builds
|
||||
without libuuid
|
||||
|
||||
* add --without-libuuid to disable mkswap(8) and libblkid linking against
|
||||
libuuid
|
||||
|
||||
* use TZ=UTC for tests
|
||||
|
||||
* add NLS and err.h stuff to schedutils (chrt.c, taskset.c)
|
||||
|
||||
* move libblkid to util-linux-ng (see the topic/blkid branch)
|
||||
|
||||
* add mllockall() and SCHED_FIFO to hwclock,
|
||||
see http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/12/132
|
||||
|
||||
* partx: copy sun.c, mac.c and dash.c from kpartx
|
||||
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/storage/multipath-tools/.git
|
||||
|
||||
It would be nice to merge kpartx and partx to the one project. We duplicate
|
||||
a lot of code (include losetup code in kpartx).
|
||||
* mkswap: use /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid as a fallback solution for builds
|
||||
without libuuid
|
||||
|
||||
* swapon -s -- LABELs support
|
||||
|
||||
Although mkswap has recently been -L option to create a label nothing appears to
|
||||
have been change to swapon to display said labels. (rh#430386)
|
||||
|
||||
* use canonicalize_file_name() when exist in glibc (see lib/canonicalize.v)
|
||||
* use TZ=UTC for tests
|
||||
|
||||
* try improve compilation against others libc:
|
||||
- klibc
|
||||
- ???
|
||||
* add NLS and err.h stuff to schedutils (chrt.c, taskset.c)
|
||||
|
||||
* add mllockall() and SCHED_FIFO to hwclock,
|
||||
see http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/12/132
|
||||
|
||||
* use rpmatch() for all Y/N questions
|
||||
|
||||
* mount -a -- reorder fstab entries by paths before mount (just idea only)

patch 784aae735d9b0bba3f8b9faef4c8b30df3bf0128.
