The following is a list of commands or features that are deprecated. All
deprecated utils are in maintenance mode and we keep them in source tree for
backward compatibility only.
What: 'udev' and 'list' blkid(8) output formats
Why: udevd links libblkid directly; the 'list' is unnecessary, use lsblk(8)
--------------------------
What: line(1) command
Why: useless, nobody uses this command, head(1) is better
--------------------------
What: pg(1) command
Why: use less(1) or more(1)
--------------------------
What: CHS stuff in fdisk (except SUN where are partitions addresses by cylinders only)
Why: use addresssing by sectors, CHS does not work with modern disks,
confusing for users...
--------------------------
What: losetup -s
Why: the option -s is in collision with the Loop-AES losetup dialect that is used
in some distributions. Use the long version (--show) only.
--------------------------
What: losetup output format without --list
deprecated format"
# losetup -a
/dev/loop0: []: (/home/fs-images/swap.img)
/dev/loop1: []: (/home/fs-images/disk.img), offset 100
new format:
# losetup
NAME SIZELIMIT OFFSET AUTOCLEAR RO BACK-FILE
/dev/loop0 0 0 0 0 /home/fs-images/swap.img
/dev/loop1 0 100 0 0 /home/fs-images/disk.img
--------------------------
What: tunelp
Why: parallel port printers are probably almost extinct devices
--------------------------
What: elvtune
Why: useless for kernel >= 2.6.9
---------------------------
What: last(1)
Why: nobody uses this implementation
