From 232dbda915dfcfec99e5983b7f53d57d4498a6aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anant Narayanan Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2006 15:18:45 +0000 Subject: Fix ChangeLog git-svn-id: svn://svn.debian.org/svn/parted/upstream/trunk@820 2d424fd7-7fe2-0310-af74-8bc65edeb173 --- TODO | 98 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 98 insertions(+) create mode 100644 TODO (limited to 'TODO') diff --git a/TODO b/TODO new file mode 100644 index 0000000..019cd74 --- /dev/null +++ b/TODO @@ -0,0 +1,98 @@ + +See http://wiki.debian.org/Parted + +=== everything below is old and for reference purposes only === + +* regression tests: + - add specific tests for FAT16 -> FAT32, FAT32 -> FAT16, cluster +resizing 8k -> 4k, etc. Also, compare output, to catch other "unexpected" +errors (like partitions going missing, not that that's ever +happened ) + +* ui: + - support a cylinder interface for the masochistic. + - warn when partition numbers change (?) in UI? + +* make *_read() do ped_file_system_probe(), and warn if it isn't sane for +the partition ID on-disk. + +* disk label implementations: + - OS/2 DLAT support + - read-only flag for Mac partitions, and the macufs partition type + - lba flag - default flag? + - PC98: relax cylinder boundary restrictions (create conforming + partitions, but allow non-conforming partitions ;-) + +* docs for RAWRITE, etc. + +* write a summary of operation list things, and get discussion going... +* ped_file_system_is_flag_available() +* ped_file_system_commit() ? polymorphic operations, with apply() and +revert() in memory, and commit all fs's and disk's to commit on-disk. +* ped_operation_queue (ped_operation_new (PED_OP_PARTITION_SET_FLAG, ...)), + or ped_partition_set_flag() (with a "transparent" queue?) + +* separate domains libparted and parted (for nls) +* merge with partimage.sourceforge.net +* merge with gpart +* "renumber" +* "reconstruct" +* "resizepart" +* make an errata web page +* bootdisk: try getting readline & nls support in, use a newer version of +busybox. Also, write some scripts for disk imaging. +* Rawrite3 IS free, it seems. Find the source (version 1.3 == version 3), and +stick source+bin up on the ftp site. +* improve website (check out texinfo. Does it create much autoconfusion?) + +* /proc/meminfo, mlock() + +* create an FAQ, and stick lots of examples in it. + +* ped_file_system_resize_online() + +* reiser fs (almost there), ntfs support! + +* when Windows doesn't shut down properly, it knows about it. How? +* FAT boot sector reconstruction, in fat_check() - actually, fat_open(), +since it won't open properly if it's broken... Tell panov@iacp.vl.ru when +done. Perhaps connect this to the front-end via a "force MINOR FS-TYPE" +command, since it's sometimes hard to detect broken file systems. + +* FreeBSD support (get a copy - I want to try it anyway!) + +* LBA support in boot loader + +* OS/2 Boot manager + +* documentation of the internal API, tutorial on external API, and perhaps a bit +on how the resizers, etc. work [MOSTLY DONE] + +* logical sectors (?) byte addressing? + +* libbootload ? + - update LILO/GRUB/Quik + +* command-line interface: i18n issues, "Yes, No or Cancel?". This issue is +hard, for free software in general. We need a community (i.e. mailing list) +that specializes in this, IMHO. + +* ped_geometry_{map|unmap}(), and kill the libparted/fs_ext2 buffer cache + +* injecting/ejecting partitions into/out of extended partitions. But to +keep alignment rules, would have to move the start of the partition. No +problem for FAT. Absolute pain for ext2. + +* ext2 resizer: + - add ability to move the start of the file system. + - fix "strange layout" problem + - add an incompat feature to ext2 that is a special resize-the-start +journal, and add support in e2fsck / mount / linux (?) for it. + +* RAID? LVM? EVMS? grand-unified system TM? + +* support finding bad-blocks. Use ped_device_check() in ped_geometry_check() + +* generic resizing/converting with the inplace copy via sparse loopback idea + from Serguei Tzukanov + -- cgit v1.2.1
