Many long-running - operations in guestfs-browser don't display progress messages, eg. - "du", "tar-in/out", because it's hard to estimate the runtime of - these commands. We should modify the protocol so that the library - can hint at when progress messages would be useful (there's no point - going to extra lengths to generate them if on the library side no - one is registered to listen to them), and modify the daemon to try - harder to generate them, even if they are only estimates. Also - GtkProgressBar supports a "pulse mode" where it indicates activity - with no time estimate, and we should try to support that as well. - -* Better handling of partitions, including MBR extended partitions. - Write a new partition handling library to replace parted, and use it - instead of parted.
