lscpu
|
|
-----
|
|
- detect more hypervisors, see 'virt-what' shell script
|
|
http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-what/
|
|
|
|
minix (fsck, mkfs)
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
- clean up types -- use ino_t, size_t and ssize_t
|
|
|
|
libmount (mount/umount)
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
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 sys-utils/{mount,umount}.c
|
|
utils.
|
|
|
|
- add options to control fstab/mtab mount options usage, something like:
|
|
|
|
--options-mode={ignore,append,prepend,replace} MNT_OMODE_{IGNORE, ...}
|
|
--options-source={fstab,mtab,disable} MNT_OMODE_{FSTAB,MTAB,NOTAB}
|
|
--options-source-force MNT_OMODE_FORCE
|
|
|
|
(all this already supported by libmount)
|
|
|
|
- support MS_PROPAGATION flags in fstab -- note that kernel assumes that
|
|
these flags are not mixed with another mount flags, it means that:
|
|
|
|
/dev/sda1 /mnt/foo auto ro,shared
|
|
|
|
has be implemented by two syscalls:
|
|
|
|
mount("/dev/sda1", "/mnt/foo", "ext4", MS_RDONLY, NULL);
|
|
mount(NULL, "/mnt/foo", "none", MS_REMOUNT|MS_SHARED, NULL);
|
|
|
|
yeah, there is race ;-(
|
|
|
|
- (!) on systems with regular mtab file it is impossible to umount by "umount
|
|
/dev/loop0" if the loop device has been created by "mount -o loop", because
|
|
there is backing file in the mtab (instead of the device name).
|
|
|
|
Now we have all necessary information in /sysfs so it should be possible to
|
|
translate the device name to backing file and then search in mtab for the
|
|
filename. See loopdev_get_loopfile().
|
|
|
|
libblkd and libmount
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
- use __attribute__((notnull)) and __attribute__((warn_unused_result))
|
|
Note that the code has to be useful for non-gcc compilers too.
|
|
|
|
partx
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
- support mapping by device-mapper if argv[0] is "kpartx" or --dm option is used.
|
|
|
|
- (!) add regression tests for partx, addpart and delpart
|
|
|
|
|
|
docs
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
- (!) use something better than gtk-doc for libmount and libblkid (doxyden?)
|
|
|
|
- (!) add API documentation to libuuid
|
|
|
|
|
|
lib/tt.c
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
- allows to sort columns, for example sort lsblk(8) output by SIZE
|
|
|
|
login-utils:
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
- (!) merge newgrp from shadow-utils
|
|
|
|
libblkid
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
- improve DBG() debug macro, see new imeplemntation in libmount/src/mountP.h
|
|
|
|
- (!) don't use internally blkid_loff_t, rather use off_t, size_t, ssize_t,
|
|
stdint.h types and so on...
|
|
|
|
- add FSSIZE value -- filesystem size (klibc requirement)
|
|
|
|
- (!) add support for dasd PT (used for example on s390)
|
|
|
|
fdisk(s)
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
- add to "First sector" dialog a line with information about available
|
|
gaps (free areas) to make it more user friendly if you want to skip
|
|
any useless (small) areas between existing partitions.
|
|
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=715114
|
|
|
|
- add "move end" command to move end of the last primary/extended partition.
|
|
This feature seems very attractive to users who resizing their disks
|
|
(for example in virtual machines).
|
|
|
|
- sfdisk rounds to cylinders is -uM (megabyte units) is specified, this is
|
|
pretty stupid feature. It has to round to sectors if -uS or -uM is specified.
|
|
|
|
- Sun label support is completely useless for large disks, it uses number of
|
|
cylinders from on-disk-label where the geometry is stored by int16 values.
|
|
It seems better to completely ignore this stuff from the label and always
|
|
use geometry + BLKGETSIZE64 from kernel.
|
|
|
|
- use off_t instead "long long"
|
|
|
|
- catch SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and return to main menu.
|
|
From Red Hat bugzilla #545488:
|
|
|
|
While using fdisk normally, if you accidentally pressed the wrong button (to
|
|
start a sequence of questions for some operation, e.g. 'c' to create
|
|
partition). The tool tries too hard to keep asking you for valid input. You
|
|
can't provide a blank or invalid input to get it to break out of the current
|
|
dialog sequence and get back to the main menu.
|
|
|
|
- fdisk/* refactoring (probably implement libfdisk ???)
|
|
|
|
- add GPT support (probably implement libfdisk ???)
|
|

misc
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
- add mllockall() and SCHED_FIFO to hwclock,
|
|
see http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/12/132
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
exotic requests
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
- add SELinux security contexts support to the 'ipcs' utility
|
|
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225342
|
|
|
|
Would be great to list the current system IPC Objects with their respective
|
|
security labels (where allowed) with something like 'ipcs -Z' - following the
|
|
way other tools reports those.
