openSUSE:Libstorage ideas

Ideas for libstorage

Future ideas for libstorage. Ordering does not define priorities.

• Additional testsuite that reads and writes to the system. Run testsuite inside a virtual machine. Intention is mainly to test calls (including output parsing) of external programs.

• Provide ruby bindings.

• Better btrfs support, e.g. multiple devices and subvolumes.

Currently on hold since it is not possible to query certain information from the system, e.g. mount points after removing devices and RAID settings. Also btrfsprogs in openSUSE does not include the command "btrfs" but only the outdated "btrfsctl".

• Allow to use whole disk (without partitions) for a file-system (https://features.opensuse.org/310310).
