-live CD inspection
-------------------

- virt-inspector livecd.iso
-
-Could this be done through the core API and existing calls?
-
-There is a soft requirement for this in virt-manager, where it would
-be nice to be able to prepopulate the operating system hints based on
-what sort of ISO the user is trying to install from.
-
-Several sorts of CDs:
-
-  - live CD
-  - install-only CD
-  - network install CD
-  - supplemental CDs with additional packages but not bootable
-    on its own
-
-Some CDs are formatted as ISO9660 and larger ones as UDF (DVD format),
-but they all are unpartitioned.
-
-Bootable Linux CDs have an /isolinux directory.
-
-Bootable EFI CDs have an /EFI/BOOT directory.
-
-Fedora live CDs have /images/install.img which is a squashfs
-containing an ext4 root.  We could consider mounting this and
-inspecting it separately, but it would be simple to get everything we
-need from other files in the CD directory.
-
-More recent Fedora install DVD has /.discinfo and /.treeinfo with some
-easy to parse information in it.
-
-Debian and Ubuntu CDs have a /.disk/info file which is the product
-string.  There are other interesting files in /.disk.  They also have
-a characteristic directory structure (eg. /dists, /pool/main) which
-looks like a Debian archive.
-
-Windows 2003 install CDs have some characteristic stamp files in the
-root directory, like: /win51 /win51ia /win51ia.sp2.  The main
-installation files (CAB files) are in /i386 directory.  The following
-files contain a lot of interesting information:
-
-  /i386/hivesft.inf
-  /i386/layout.inf
-  /i386/sis.inf
-  /i386/txtsetup.sif
+live CD inspection for Windows 7
+--------------------------------
 
 Windows 7 install CDs are quite different and pretty impenetrable.
 There are no obvious files to parse.

+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

+  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.

+There should be an option to mount all Windows drives as separate
+paths, like C: => /c/, D: => /d/ etc.
