Random plans and ideas for 1.1 and beyond:
|
|
|
|
* The whole lvm/dm debacle.
|
|
|
|
* The interface between core and the file systems needs some more thought.
|
|
Ideally we'd be free to use either external helper apps (like we do now) or
|
|
libraries to achieve the same things. Libraries in this case being libntfs-3g
|
|
and libext2fs. There's one for reiserfs too, iirc. Using libraries we'd
|
|
hopefully be able to get meaningful progress status reporting while resizing,
|
|
checking and so on.
|
|
|
|
* Information about file system on a separate tab in the properties, unique
|
|
to the file system in use.
|
|
|
|
* Check if no of sectors fits in an unsigned 32 bit int for msdos partition tables.
|
|
|
|
* The KPart works but has problems: The context menus don't show up, the status
|
|
bar is missing, maybe more.
|
|
|
|
* save msdos mbr?
|
|
|
|
* let the user specify extern command locations and options in the settings
|
|
|
|
* write a setup-kcm in the style of k3b's so that the user can set the r/w
|
|
permissions of the disks there; also use kauth to update the partition table
|
|
in the kernel. that should cover all cases where we actually need root
|
|
privileges now. (not for 1.1)
|
|
|
|
* offer a) no alignment of partition boundaries at all or b) legacy cylinder
|
|
alignment or c) sector based alignment (the name is misleading, though)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bugs:
|
|
* copy&paste seems broken wrt alignment when copying from cylinder aligned to
|
|
sector aligned drives (maybe even more than that)
