We badly need to actually implement the FTP server mentioned in the
documentation.
+Or: Implement a FUSE-based filesystem. See the FUSE mountlo
+project which does something similar, albeit only to single
+filesystems:

BufferIn and BufferOut should turn into <char *, int> and simple

Implement febootstrap command.

+
+Practically, resizing the partitions when a block device is resized
+isn't possible. So for example it's not possible to resize a Fedora
+block device. If you try to use sfdisk-N to change the boundaries of
+the existing partition to fill up the new space, you get an error that
+the partition is in use.
+
+The reason, I now think, is because LVM is using the partition as a
+PV, and this locks it as far as the kernel is concerned.
+
+Removing the PV [which is what we do in the test suite] isn't
+desirable if the PV contains data you care about. Rebooting the qemu
+subprocess after the partition table change works, but isn't very
+cool. I believe what we need to do is to temporarily reconfigure LVM
+(using /etc/lvm/lvm.conf) to ignore the PV, vgscan (which will then
+ignore the PV), make the changes to the partition table, then set the
+LVM configuration back and do a final vgscan.
+
+Need to test the above, and find a nice way to present it through
+the API.
