 How can we solve these common user problems?

-  In guestfish, specified -m non-existent filesystem.  We could suggest

 Better support for encrypted devices
 ------------------------------------
@@ -363,35 +360,48 @@ We would like to add:
   - Direct access to the /dev/mapper device (eg. if it contains
     anything apart from VGs).

+Display the structure of an image file as a PS.

+Greater use of blkid / libblkid
+-------------------------------
 
-virt-tar is really clumsy to use, and upload/download in guestfish can
-only do single files.  tar-in in guestfish can upload multiple files,
-but only if you have prepared a tarball in advance.
+guestfs_zero should use wipefs.  See wipefs(8).
 
-What we really need is a method which is as easy to use as 'scp' and
-'scp -r'.
+There are various useful functions in libblkid for listing partitions,
+devices etc which we are essentially duplicating in the daemon.  It
+would make more sense to just use libblkid for this.
 
-Can we add this as a command in guestfish?  This will be more useful
-since users will already need to be in guestfish in order to create
-target directories, review what they've done etc.  It could be a meta-
-command such as:
+There are some places where we call out to the 'blkid' program.  This
+might be replaced by direct use of the library (if this is easier).
 
-  copy-in-recursive localdir remotedir
-  copy-out-recursive remotedir localdir
+Remove repo from appliance name
+-------------------------------
+
+There's no need to have the appliance name contain the repository name
+(ie initramfs.x86_64.img instead of initramfs.fedora-13.x86_64.img).
 
-which would hide use of tgz-in etc.
+Visualization
+-------------
 
-Other thoughts on this:
+Eric Sandeen pointed out the blktrace tool which is a better way of
+capturing traces than using patched qemu (see
+contrib/visualize-alignment).  We would still use the same
+visualization tools in conjunction with blktrace traces.
 
-virt-cp or virt-rcp or virt-copy or virt-scp or ...?
+Virt-df UUID
+------------
 
-virt-copy *.c *.h GuestName:/tmp/
+Virt-df and any other tools with --csv output should be able to print
+UUID of domain.  This allows you to track the real domain across
+renames etc.
 
-virt-copy -r dir/ GuestName:/tmp/
+Add-domain command
+------------------
 
-virt-copy GuestName:/tmp/foo* .
+guestfs_add_domain (g, "libvirt-dom");
 
-virt-copy disk.img:/tmp/bar* otherdisk.img:/tmp
-( probably not because it requires multiple libguestfs connections)
+However this would need to not depend on libvirt, eg. loading it
+on demand.
