+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.
+
+Update: I managed to fit a real-but-minimal Fedora 13 image into 6.2 MB.

+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?

+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.
+
+  Related to the above: There should be an API call to list all
+  mountable / accessible devices.  Or a guestfish command to replace
+  list-devices, list-partitions, lvs, vfs-type.
+
+Better support for encrypted devices
+------------------------------------
+
+Currently LUKS support only works if the device contains volume
+groups.  If it contains, eg., partitions, you cannot access them.
+We would like to add:
+
+  - An easier way to use this from guestfish.
+  - Direct access to the /dev/mapper device (eg. if it contains
+    anything apart from VGs).
