TODO
----
- 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
- do we really need to depend on libuuid? Maybe the default should be
use in-tree code rather and link against libuuid -- especially when we
need it for uuid_unparse() only.
- consolidate "getsize" stuff (see getsize.c and lib/blkdev.c)
- add a new flag to keep information that FS is ready to share the device with
any other FS (iso9960, udf, ...)
- create a new function
blkid_do_safeprobe()
that scan for all filesystems and check for collisions (fat vs. swap)
- rebase to the latest util-linux-ng
- add regression tests:
- add to tests/input/blkid/ FS images
- create ts-blkid-fs to tests FS detection
- create a new simple API for LABEL/UUID evaluation:
blkid_eval_spec()
blkid_eval_uuid()
blkid_eval_spec() (spec: <NAME>=<value>)
this API has to follow the EVALUATE= blkid.conf option (see below).
- create a new config file /etc/blkid.conf; options:
* EVALUATE=<method>[,<method>]
where the method is "udev" and/or "scan". Default: "udev,scan".
* CACHE_FILE=<path>
where the <path> is path to the blkid.tab cache file. Default:
/etc/blkid.tab.
* SEND_UEVENTS=<yes|no>
write to /sys/block/..../uevent when we found that /dev/disk-by/*
links are not valid (when EVALUATE=udev).
- modify /sbin/blkid code to use blkid_eval_..() API for "-t LABEL|UUID" option.
Brainstorming
-------------
- try to write inotify based blkid-daemon that watch block devices and update
blkid cache and inform udev (by uevents) when a new LABEL/UUID/FS is
detected.
The daemon should be also useful during system start-up for massive parallel
devices scanning.
