Some comments on the spec: 5.1.1 I would much prefer, and believe it would be easier, if the default would be to fail immediately if no disk was specified. The user could explicitly specify "default" as the disk selection, at which point the guessing algorithm would come into play. 5.1.1 What if there are multiple bootable drives? Does "boot disk" mean the first bootable device? For x86, are you looking at what the BIOS thinks are bootable devices, or following into grub? For sparc, are you looking at OBP for the list and, if so, are you checking whether the listed devices are actually bootable? 5.1.2.1 If the largest is chosen, what happens if all valid disk are the same size? 5.1.2.1 For target_device_select_unformatted_disk, what does without data slices mean? If its got a label, how do you define what that means? 5.1.2.1 I read the qualifiers as adding disks to the list of valid targets. What about using a qualifier to remove a device from the list? 5.3.2 Typo area should be are. There's no such thing as raid2. 5.3.2 If only file systems are managed, how are swap and dump managed?
