This seems like a worthwhile project given the overlap in functionality from the various commands. It echoes some of the functionality provided by libguestfs for VM images I think. > The btrfs administration tools have shown us that storage management can > be simplified, and we are working to bring that ease of use to Linux > filesystems in general. > > > You can also find some more information in my presentation from LinuxCon > Prague this year: > > http://people.redhat.com/lczerner/files/lczerner_fsm.pdf This had the name 'fsm'. I do think 'ssm' is better, however I would drop the '.py' from the command name. This is incidental and restrictive going forward.
