libmount (mount/umount)
|

-----------------------
|

|

- add support for "x-" namespace for mount options. All options with "x-"
|

prefix should be ignored.
|
||||
Note that the old mount/[u]mount.c code is in MAINTENANCE MODE only. All new
|
||||
features should be implemented to libmount or to the new mount/umount
|
||||
implementation in the libmount/samples/ directory.
|

|
||||
For example x-systemd=, x-upstart-foo, x-libmount-debug=0xffff, ...

- (!!!) add libmount based umount(8) (see libmount/samples/ where is new mount(8)

It seems that the kernel has support for minix fs v3
|
||||
(though I have not tried it, just inspected some code when
|

trying to find a mkfs.minix issue).
|
||||
It might be worth a thought implementing v3 support
|

(though I am not really sure how much people us minix fs ;-)

This might require some major code cleanup in mkfs.minix.
