     19 ----------------
     20 
     21 - size estimation is still out (need to take into account indirect blocks!)
     22 
     23 - mkfs.c parameter checking when density is rather high or low (dumps core)
     24   e.g, a large directory with a small number of files dumps core with a
     25   floating exception i.e, density is too high such as 21886635 or too
     26   low such as 30.
     27   update: lukem, 2001/01/23.  not sure if this is still an issue.

     31 -------
     32 
     33 - consider replacing ffs_balloc() et al with own code that doesn't
     34   need hacked-up buf.c code
     35 
     36 - whacking on newfs/mkfs.c to allow .PATH-ing directly into makefs(8).
     37   this would involve passing all of mkfs()'s parameters in a single
     38   struct rather than a lot of global vars, etc.
