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.
When calling commit_to_os() with newer Linux kernels,
parted-1.9.0, and at least one partition mounted on the device,
the following error message is displayed:
The kernel was unable to re-read the partition table on
/dev/sda (Device or resource busy). This means Linux won't
know anything about the modifications you made until you
reboot. You should reboot your computer before doing
anything with /dev/sda.
If this message is not cleared then it will remain in the
libparted_message array and could potentially be displayed along
with an error message for a subsequent scanned disk device.
When libparted reports a problem with the partition table, capture
this message and attach it to the "unallocated" partition that spans
the entire disk.
Examples of these types of problems encountered are:
/dev/sda: unrecognised disk label
Can't have overlapping partitions.
The ability to paste into an existing partition was disabled in
v0.4.0. This ability has been re-enabled along with a warning
dialog that indicates the data in the existing partition will be
lost if the copy and paste operation is applied.
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.
Auto detection of Linux software RAID devices was lost in GParted
0.3.8. This was because device scanning by the libparted device
call ped_device_probe_all() was replaced with custom code within
GParted to scan /proc/partitions for devices.
The reason the libparted call was replaced was due to a long
scanning problem with ped_device_probe_all(), a non-existent
physical floppy device, and a BIOS setting indicating a floppy
drive existed. See bug #351753:
