Raw

Big TODO Items Before 0.1 Release

  • rename enhancements (directory, overwrite etc) may be L2

  • ptrace

  • [IP] Core dumps

  • time_t bits hidden in inode

  • Can we make the mount point buffers writable to disk too so we can drop the quiet ones when busy ?

  • IP Simplify exec logic and split into multiple functions

  • Add "shared lib" (or more accurately copied lib) support for libc to keep binary size small

  • Add an exomizer 2.0 linking mode to save disc space. Probably can be done all user space.

  • Can we make inodes partially pageable given our on disk guarantees ? Disk inode in cinode would then become a pointer. Might allow more open objects and less memory usage. Might be nicer alternative to the BSD inode shrinking hack (although that would fix the time_t question!)

Functionality

  • remount

  • config tool

Big Speed Up Points

  • Rewrite the compressor in assembler

  • Vfork

  • Make mount pin a buffer rather than keeping mount blocks around unused.

Maybe

  • Different magic for "big" fs - 32bit block numbers only on raw devices. Split blkno_t into blkno_t blknodev_t or similar

  • Revoke 8)

  • Virtual device hooks for networking

  • Pty/tty devices

  • Finish select/poll

  • Support for o65 binary format

Other

  • [IP] Check safety of changes to allow interrupts during swapper

  • Check we don't have any races of the form kill() checks signal has handler signal(x, SIG_DFL) signal serviced

    (We now clear the cached signal in this and the mask case. We might need to spot 0/-1 sig vector and skip)
