Wunschkonzert, Ponyhof und Abenteuerspielplatz

Two weeks ago we published a Plumber's Wishlist for Linux. So far, this has already created lively discussions in the community (as reported on LWN among others), and patches for a few of the items listed have already been posted (thanks a lot to those who worked on this, your contributions are much appreciated!).

We have now prepared a second version of the wish list. It includes a number of additions (tmpfs quota! hostname change notifications! and more!) and updates to the previous items, including links to patches, and references to other interesting material.

We hope to update this wishlist from time, so stay tuned!

And now, go and read the new wishlist!

If you want fanotify events for rename, you
probably want them for link and unlink too.
After all, a link followed by an unlink of the
old name is pretty much the same as a rename.

(I should check what fanotify does, but inotify
used to have this problem.)

An API to get and set the filesystem label by mount point would make sense not only for FAT, but also for NTFS and EXFAT. So it needs to be compatible with FUSE and, ideally, filesystem-agnostic.

Hey so now that 3.2 has launched, any chance we can see an update on how much got done, and a new call for the 3.3 merge window?
