-Resizing, shrinking, specifying sizes in guestfish
---------------------------------------------------
+-N option should be generated
+-----------------------------
-Owing to an oversight we don't really supporting shrinking
-filesystems. See:
+'-N' option should be generated code, and should generate
+documentation in guestfish(1) manpage.

+Fix 'file'
+----------
-But a related problem is how to specify sizes to guestfish, ie. "100M"
-or "1G". Currently the specific alloc and sparse functions contain
-code to parse these size strings, but that cannot be used anywhere
-else that would take a byte count. This is awkward because some
-commands take units of megabytes (lvresize, sfdiskM) or sectors
-(part-add), with no unifying theme.

+Regression test on virt-inspector
+---------------------------------
+
+Occasionally we break virt-inspector through some change. We should
+add a regression test for it. However this is hard because we'd need
+to avoid having to carry huge images.

+Tips for new users in guestfish
+-------------------------------
+
+$ guestfish
+Tip: You need to 'add disk.img' or 'alloc disk.img nn' to make a new image.
+Type 'notips' to disable tips permanently.
+><fs> add mydisk
+Tip: You need to type 'run' before you can see into the disk image.
+><fs> run
+Tip: Use 'list-filesystems' to see what filesystems are available.
+><fs> list-filesystems
+/dev/vda1
+Tip: Use 'mount fs /' to mount a filesystem.
+><fs> mount /dev/vda1 /
+Tip: Use 'll /' to view the filesystem or ...
+><fs> ll /
+
+New guestfish commands
+----------------------
+
+'list-filesystems' => list mountable filesystems
+
+We could implement this as a new API call, replacing a number of areas
+of the current code where this is done already (in virt-inspector and
+elsewhere). What we normally do to find out if a partition contains a
+mountable filesystem is to just blindly mount it, and see if that
+succeeds. However the kernel won't let us do this if the filesystem
+is already mounted somewhere, so a naive implementation of this in the
+daemon won't work. We would have to check if the partition was
+already mounted.
+
+Could we make guestfish interactive if commands are used without params?
+------------------------------------------------------------------------

+Image name? disk.img
+Size of image? 10M
+
+Common problems
+---------------
+
+How can we solve these common user problems?
+
+- http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2010-June/374931.html
+ In guestfish, specified -m non-existent filesystem. We could suggest
+ a list of filesystems, or suggest they run the virt-list-filesystems
+ command.
+
+Progress of long-running operations
+-----------------------------------
+
+For example, copying in virt-resize. How can we display the progress
+of these operations? This is a basic usability requirement, and
+frequently requested.
