| ==== |
| |
| - convet po/ files to UTF-8 |
| |
| - add an option to the cal command to control highlight date |
| (cal -v YYYY/MM/DD) |
| |
| - use rpmatch() for all Y/N ? |
| |
| - rewrite ipcs to use /proc/sys/kernel rather than unreliable syscalls |
| (there are problems with 32bit userspace on 64bit kernel) |
| |
| - remove support for old system headers (like missing ioctls, ..) |
| |
| - remove from all places direct calls of ioctl(BLKGETSIZE) and move it |
| lib/blkdevsize.c: blkdev_get_size(), blkdev_get_sectors(), blkdev_get_pages() |
| (see mkswap.c and fdisk/disksize.c) |
| |
| - use EXIT_FAILED and EXIT_SUCCESS from stdlib.h for exit() codes |
| |
| - rewrite the replay script to C to avoid dependence on perl |
| |
| - add long options to setarch(1) |
| |
| - cleanup cryptoloop support in losetup -- see debian patches (???) |
| |
| - "mount -a": |

| 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) |
| |
