 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.

+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?

+  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.
