2.7TH0.4 (thoughts)
Thanks to Gabor, Stuart, Stephan and others Don't hesitate to send me more or comments !
Ok, stuff has been sorted and some links added.
Regards, Fabian
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mandatory features
* Hotplug CPU (Done experimental against 2.4.X) - RAM * Standard kernel building (Minimum, Full options, Detection ...) * LVM (http://www.vinumvm.org) * Slab allocation quota * Ntfs full support * Kernel Web - Gopher server -Interfaced to Zippel config tool -http://fabian.unixtech.be/kernel/ks.html * Complete user quota centralization * Add _responsibilities_ for virtual process tree and possible relation in oops cases * Does the whole proc vm stuff root/box relevant ?I don't think so....Hence, those proc entries deserve security relevant attributes * Devices should be limited as well against bad usage(floppy defect), viral activity(netcard rush)... * Improve kobject model for security, quota rendering * Bind mount support for all general mount options (nodev,ro,noexec etc) with SECURE implementation with any (maybe even future) filesystems? * Guaranteed i/o bandwidth allocation * Netfilter's ability to do tricks which OpenBSD can do now with its packet filter * ENBD support in official kernel with enterprise-class 'through the network' volume management * /proc interface alternative to modutils/module-init-tools. That is, to have a directory of virtual nodes in /proc to provide the functionality of insmod, rmmod, lsmod & modprobe would be great -- especially from the viewpoint of recue disk images, etc. * Virtual machine support * IPC to sysfs (http://fabian.unixtech.be/kernel/ipctosysfs.html)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More informations needed:
* Kernel object model : -What's wrong with kobject ?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Already in:
* Software RAID 0+1 perhaps? A lot of hardware RAID cards support it, why not the kernel? By RAID 0+1 I mean mirror-RAIDing two (or more) stripe-RAID arrays. (Or can this be done already?) Kevin : This can be done using evms, mdadm, raidtools
