- 'flat' mode: disk image size must be multiple of sector size.
- 'concat' mode: each disk image size and lseek() offset must be multiple of
sector size.
- 'sparse' mode: page size and lseek() offset must be multiple of sector size.
- TODO: 'growing', 'undoable' and 'volatile' mode: redolog_t class is still
based on 512-byte blocks.
- TODO: 'vbox', 'vmware3', 'vmware4', 'vpc' and 'vvfat' mode have a builtin
geometry. If other sector sizes are supported, it should be handled correctly.
- harddrv code now reports current sector size, but still panics for now.
- TODO: harrdrv and USB disk code, bximage, BIOS.
- Create a file with image name plus extension ".lock" if an image is opened
in read/write mode. This file will be deleted after closing the image.
- Check for a lock file before opening an image and fail if it exists.
- Check for a lock file before creating a undoable/volatile redolog file and
fail if it exists.
"fatal". It can be used for all cases when there is no workaroud present to
avoid application crash or incorrect simulation behaviour. As a first step now
using BX_FATAL() for some data structure size and bit field errors.
sector transfers (buffer pointer update was missing). Multiple sectors transfers
could for the USB disk emulation and for image conversion with bximage.
