fat16 and fat32 were creating a temp mtoolsrc file to configure the
command to reference a drive letter and ignore certain errors. They have
been changed to pass this information via the command line and environment
instead.
No longer need to trim fat16, fat32 and xfs labels as all labels are
limited to their maximum lengths during entry.
Bug #689318 - filesystem type specific support for partition name
maximum length
A user had a 190 MiB partition containing an old ext2 file system. When
unmounted it was reported as filling the partition, but when mounted it
was reported as having 6% unallocated space. The file system's inode
tables were approximately twice the size of those created by default
with the current mkfs.ext2 defaults.
To create an equivalent file system in a 190 MiB partition:
mkfs.ext2 -N 97344 /dev/sda15
It turns out that for ext2, ext3 and ext4 file systems what was
described as intrinsic unallocated space during the development of
Bug #499202 is actually file system overhead. When mounted the ext2/3/4
kernel code reports the size of the file system after subtracting the
overhead. Overhead is made up of superblock backups, group descriptors,
allocation bitmaps and largest of all inode tables. E2fsprogs tools
don't subtract this overhead when reporting the file system size.

Call the file system specific method for reading the usage of ext2, ext3
and ext4 file systems while mounted. Make it read the file system size
from the on disk superblock to avoid subtraction of overhead and use the
statvfs() system call to return an up to date free space figure.

space within the partition)
Create function Utils::kernel_version_at_least() to check that the
current Linux kernel is a particular version or higher.
Update nilfs2 to use this function to determine whether the kernel is
new enough to support file system resizing.
Cache results from querying all LVM2 PVs in one go to minimise the
number of times lvm commands are executed. Take inspiration from
caching performed by FS_Info and Proc_Partitions_Info.
Bug #160787 - lvm support
This is the first step of adding support for just LVM2 Phyiscal Volumes,
a subset of full LVM2 support.
Make it clear that it is only LVM2 PVs being treated like a file system.
Bug #160787 - lvm support
Add the ability to set a new random UUID on file systems that provide
the appropriate tools to perform this action.
Update the help manual to include this new functionality. Also add
reference links to "setting a partition label" and "changing a
partition UUID" in the "copying and pasting a partition" section.
This patch does not include setting the UUID on an NTFS file system.
Bug #667278 - Add support for setting UUID
Bug #608308 - fix documentation - Copying and Pasting a Partition
There is a lot of commonality and code repetition for resizing of file
systems which can only be resized while mounted. Resizing of btrfs, jfs
and xfs all follow the pattern: mkdir, mount, resize, umount and rmdir.
Copying an xfs file system also uses a similar pattern, but for the
source and destination xfs file systems simultaneously.
Add three helper functions to the FileSystem class which implement
common tasks, allowing mounted file system resizing to be implemented
more simply.
Also add a function to the Utils class which checks whether the kernel
supports a file system. It handles the case of non-loaded modules,
which currently leads to reporting the growing of jfs and xfs as
unsupported.
Requires libparted 2.4 or higher, or blkid from utils-linux 2.20 or
higher for nilfs2 file system detection.
Requires nilfs-utils for nilfs2 file system support.
Closes Bug #642842 - nilfs is not detected
Fix bug introduced in GParted 0.9.0 in commit
4a8fef9822 to address ISO C++ ambiguity
compiler warning.
Due to the nature of the surrounding code, this bug was not evident
in the log file output.
Thanks to Magnus Fromreide for finding this bug.
Enhance code to pass compiler warning. Prior to this change the
compiler would complain with the following message:
error: ISO C++ says that these are ambiguous, even though the worst
conversion for the first is better than the worst conversion for the
second: /usr/include/c++/4.5/bits/postypes.h:192:7: note: candidate 1:
std::fpos<_StateT> std::fpos<_StateT>::operator-(std::streamoff) const
[with _StateT = __mbstate_t, std::fpos<_StateT> =
std::fpos<__mbstate_t>, std::streamoff = long int] Utils.cc:443:27:
note: candidate 2: operator-(std::streamoff, long long int) <built-in>
I hit this performance bug when I cloneda 40G NTFS partition. The actual
copy was done in under 11 minutes. After that I was shocked to find that
gparted would spend over 12 minutes in cleanup_cursor, pegging a CPU
core. (On a quad core desktop...)
Simply replacing the ustring with std::string would reduce the time to
about 1.5 minutes. Still bad. Also, I didn't want to lose UTF8
awareness.
So I rewrote the algorithm in 'streaming mode'. This has the (potential)
drawback that locale conversions are done, but performs well and
- IMHO - is a lot more readable.
On a minor note: this implementation correctly handles backspaces at the
start of a line.
Change spawn_command_line_sync to spawn_sync to reduce the level of
quoting required when passing commands to the function. Since
spawn_command_line_sync uses the parent's environment, the replacement
call also uses the parent's environment.
This change permits unmounting of file systems mounted with an
apostrophe in the mount point name.

GParted already has basic support only to recognize Btrfs volumes; if
configured, use our newer methods to handle them.
Also, put in place interface controls for all supported generic actions.
With the removal of the 512 byte constants, such as MEBIBYTE, it
was possible to rename the _FACTOR constants back to BYTE
constants. The _FACTOR constants, such as MEBI_FACTOR, were a
temporary measure to help in the transition to support devices
with sector sizes > 512 bytes.
Improved logic in cleanup_cursor method to minimize the number of
string erase operations performed.
Previously when the NTFS copy finished, GParted would take an
exceptionally long time to clean up the output. This was due to
the huge number of small string erase operations performed on a
extremely large string.
Remove commented code and boolean use-C-lang parameter for
Utils::num_to_str() method because this bug was fixed in
gcc-4.0.3. The GNU gcc compiler versions 4 and up are now
commonly in use. Also due to previous partial commenting and
removal of the code, the code was non-functional
Thanks goes to Jan Claeys for pointing out this clean up
opportunity.
Restore copyright entries by original author to those of his last
known repository commit titled "released gparted-0.3.4 on
LarryT's request." on Feb 25, 2007.
Add my own copyright entries for files in which I changed source
code. Files in which I only made spelling changes do not have my
copyright entry added.
Perform direct update of Number of Hidden Sectors in NTFS boot record.
This change removes the need for /usr/bin/xxd and /bin/dd.
