How would editing files work?
-ntfsclone
----------
-
-Useful imaging tool:
-http://man.linux-ntfs.org/ntfsclone.8.html
-
virt-rescue pty
---------------
% is better than $ because of shell escaping and confusion with shell
variables.
-live CD inspection
-------------------
+Can we combine this with ability to set and read environment
+variables? Currently guestfish uses many environment variables like
+$EDITOR without any corresponding ability to set them.
+
+ set EDITOR /usr/bin/emacs
+ echo $EDITOR # or %{EDITOR}
+ edit /etc/resolv.conf
+
+live CD inspection for Windows 7
+--------------------------------
+
+Windows 7 install CDs are quite different and pretty impenetrable.
+There are no obvious files to parse.
+
+More ntfs tools
+---------------
+
+ntfsprogs actually has a lot more useful tools than we currently
+use. Interesting ones are:
+
+ntfslabel: display or change filesystem label (we should unify all
+ set*label APIs into a single set_vfs_label which can deal with any
+ filesystem)
+
+ntfsclone: clone, image, restore, rescue NTFS
+
+ntfsinfo: print various information about NTFS volume and files
+
+ntfs streams: extract alternate streams from NTFS files
-guestfish -i livecd.iso
+ntfsck: checker for NTFS filesystems
+
+Undelete files
+--------------
+
+Two useful tools:
+
+ - ext2undelete
+ - ntfsundelete
+
+More mkfs_opts options
+----------------------
+
+Useful options to offer:
+ - Set label.
+ - Set UUID.
+
+Use /proc/self/mountinfo
+------------------------
+
+This file contains lots of interesting information about
+what is mounted and where. eg:
+
+ 16 21 0:3 / /proc rw,relatime - proc /proc rw
+ 17 21 0:16 / /sys rw,relatime - sysfs /sys rw,seclabel
+ 18 23 0:5 / /dev rw,relatime - devtmpfs udev rw,seclabel,size=1906740k,nr_inodes=476685,mode=755
+ 26 21 253:3 / /home rw,relatime - ext4 /dev/mapper/vg-lv_home rw,seclabel,barrier=1,data=ordered
+
+This could be used instead of current hairy code to parse the output
+of the 'mount' command. We could add new APIs to return kernel mount
+options, type of filesystem at a mountpoint etc.
+
+guestfish drive letters
+-----------------------
-Could this be done through the core API and existing calls?
+There should be an option to mount all Windows drives as separate
+paths, like C: => /c/, D: => /d/ etc.
