Feature Requests

This is a dumping ground for all features I'd like to see in FreeBSD. Not a request for developers to stop doing important work to fill my whims, but a place to store them in case someone needs an idea or two of what to work on.

Note: Feel free to add anything you want, it's the goal after all :)

[edit] tmpfs

[edit] Ultra Cheap Precaching

  • In Place Execution - rather then hacking md up, tmpfs would be better suited for this.
  • Ability to point tmpfs to a 'precreated structure' of pages. (though, tmpfs wouldn't be endian neutral; perhaps a metastruture?)
  • Small in-userland tool to create the structure.

[edit] credfs

[edit] Credential Mapping filesystem

  • Not necessarily a filesystem, just a way of mapping an arbitrary attribute (or list of attributes) to a uid based on a dynamic map.
  • Part of a system to map global scope identifiers to more usable (in userland and kernelland) local scope identifiers.
  • Think like umapfs, except arbitrary attributes.
  • Still follows POSIX rules, but get a larger space then 16bit unique identifiers.
