General feature support request for assistance[?]
I really want to try to help expand gnome-disks capabilities to cover a couple of different use cases.
- Implementing an expanding/collapsing tree view in the lefthand pane, for grouping together software raid arrays more cleanly.
- Ramdisks: creating & maybe populating a tmpfs via the 'new/attach disk image' dialog, ideally w/ some kind of systemd-container/nspawn integration.
- General containerization support via systemd-container/nspawn integration if possible.
- does not currently appear to be able to handle bootloader installation via sicherboot/systemd-boot (or anything else).
- Improving general UX for handling highly repetitive & iterative tasks like; being able to set the mount options before the disk is first mounted & written to fstab, issueing a standby command to multiple disks, running SMART tests on an entire array w/ comparative benchmarks.
I'm going to try to get started on the first one, though I have no actual C coding experience.Hoping for some interest in any of these!
