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
- consolidate "getsize" stuff (see getsize.c and lib/blkdev.c)
- add values:
FSSIZE -- filesystem size (klibc requirement)
- add reference counters to the binary interfaces. Currently, all chain
data are allocated in blkid_probe and cannot be used independently on
the probing stuff.
blkid_topology tp = blkdi_probe_get_topology(pr)
blkid_ref(tp);
...
blkid_unref(tp);
fdisk(s)
--------
* use off_t instead "long long"
* fdisk/* refactoring
* add GPT support
misc
----
* use something better than gtk-doc (doxyden?)
* 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.
* partx: copy sun.c, mac.c and dash.c from kpartx
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/storage/multipath-tools/.git
* 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 TZ=UTC for tests
* 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)
* mount -a (just idea only)

In the past the right record order could be figured out easily by just
checking out fstab (if one knew what to look for) but considering the
fastly increasing number of user space file systems and their usage, with
their path, library, etc dependencies, it's getting trickier and is a black
magic for most users because they simply expect drives to be mounted
independently of their order in fstab.
One typical, wrongly edited fstab example is:
/dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 /usr ext3 defaults 0 0
The events:
mount -> /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g ->
-> resolves to <path1>/ntfs-3g via a symlink ->
-> ntfs-3g requires at least <path2>/libfuse*
There are many potential solutions. For example installing everything on
the root file system which may be needed for successful mount. But this
is not always feasible or practical since we could end up putting almost
everything on the root file system in the end.
Another idea is an improved mount strategy:
do {
try to mount all unmounted entries
} while (not all mounted && at least one new was successfully mounted)
* agetty: use nl_langinfo() for days and months rather than hardcoded
English names.
* rewrite ipcs to use /proc/sys/kernel rather than unreliable syscalls
(there are problems with 32bit userspace on 64bit kernel)
* minix v3

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.
* rtcwake does not support wake from S5/off
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449115
* 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.
