* src/GParted_Core.cc: removed sleep( 1 ). This isn't needed anymore now the layout is scanned before the re-readtest. (saves seconds at scantime :) )
* replaced C-style typeconversion with static_casts throughout the project.
* include/Utils.h: used static_cast<> instead of C-style type conversion.
* src/Makefile.am: install gparted binary in bin/ instead of sbin/ (as soon as i've time i want to implement a read-only modus)
* include/Win_GParted.h,
src/Win_GParted.cc: Added menu 'Operations' to menubar. This menu is a duplicate of the popupmenu and imho a bit unnecessary, but lots of
people requested this.. :) Besides this, i removed 'menu_devices' and performed a few other cleanups.
* src/GParted_Core.cc,
src/Win_GParted.cc: call GParted_Core::find_supported_filesystems( ) in GParted_Core::GParted_Core() instead of Win_GParted::Win_GParted().
Also replaced 0xFFFF with GDK_Delete to improve readability of the source.
* Added support for reiser4 (only creation atm, since the other functionality appears to be non-free software :/ )
Also, libparted isn't able to detect reiser4 yet, a patch to fix this is underway, but i should probably add reiser4 detection to gparted as well.
* The Filesystemclasses: Changed 'bool Create( const Glib::ustring & device_path, const Partition & new_partition )'
to 'bool Create( const Partition & new_partition )'. Since i now use external tools for all filesystems, the partitionpath will suffice.
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc,
src/linux_swap.cc: fixed some issues with linux-swap. From now on you need 'mkswap' to create/resize/move linux-swap.
* include/Device.h,
src/Device.cc,
src/GParted_Core.cc,
src/Win_GParted.cc: Removed the ugly Get_Highest_Logical_Busy() from Device and added a classvariable instead. This one is set in
GParted_Core and used wherever needed. I also removed Device::busy, and used the new variable to check if a device is busy.
* Added cylsize to Device and made Operation contain a Device instead of only the path and lenght.
This way i was able to dump Get_Cyl_Size in the Core. Besides that, i used cylsize in WinGparted and made a lot of
cosmetic changes. Most of them were pretty useless, but hey, i'm bored ;)
* src/GParted_Core.cc,
src/Win_GParted.cc,
include/Utils.h,
include/GParted_Core.h: moved inline Get_FS from Utils.h to GParted_Core, saves a few K in exe size ;)
* src/Dialog_Partition_Copy.cc,
src/Win_GParted.cc,
src/xfs.cc: xfs copy now uses xfsdump and xfsrestore. icw some hacks in the other 2 files, it's now possible to shrink an xfs partition
while doing the copy. Although i'd rather preffered 'real' (in place) resizing i figured it's better then nothing.
Also the sourcefilesystem is now checked before the actual copy is performed. If damaged beyond repair, the copy won't start.
* src/Dialog_Partition_Resize_Move.cc: removed commented code.
* include/Dialog_Filesystems.h,
src/Dialog_Filesystems.cc: Replaced treestore with liststore. I decided i didn't need a treeview after all...
* src/Dialog_About.cc: Replaced "Gnome Partition Editor based on libparted" with "Gnome Partition Editor"
* src/xfs.cc: fixed small error with creation of xfs filesystems (adrighem)
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc: Removed 'deep_scan' flag. From now on all scans are 'deep scans'.
* include/Win_GParted.h,
src/Win_GParted.cc: Gui is now loaded before anything else. (#161054)
* Added dialog (accessable from 'gparted' menu) which shows supported operations for the various filesystems.
I plan to put some more info in it, like what is missing etc..
* Refined checks for functionality a bit. e.g. even if a filesystem can't be read, it's still possible to grow it
(but shrinking gets disabled). Also removed that stupid grow_only flag from Utils.h and reordered Win_GParted::Set_Valid_Operations()
* added support for jfs (create, copy, grow) and hfs (create, copy)
* fixed a bug in copying xfs filesystems.
* fixed a number of small bugs/annoying issues.
* Added support for xfs. this means creating and growing xfs filesystems. Shrinking requires some hacking with dump_xfs etc..
i'll add that at a later point. :)
* Replaced boolean 'resize' with 'shrink' and 'grow'. It seems some filesystems only support growing (e.g. xfs) so i need
two flags to control the behaviour of the filesystemclasses.
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc: modified layoutscan a bit for improved handling of metadata.
* include/Operation.h,
src/Operation.cc: modified Insert_Unallocated() to prevent potential crasher.
* src/ext2.cc,
src/ext3.cc,
src/ntfs.cc,
src/reiserfs.cc: added LANG=C to the commands which read the used space of a filesystem. This prevent errors with some locales.
* added MIN and MAX to filesystemstruct to set min. and max sizes of a filesystem. So instead of checking per filesystem
i now simply check the fs.MIN or fs.MAX. this results in less and cleaner code. Also this will come in handy when adding
support for new filesystems. (This also fixed several minor bugs with filesystemsizes and gained some improvement in resizer
performance)
* src/GParted_Core.cc: When ( ! deep_scan ) now only one device is scanned (first found one). Shaves off a couple of millisec from startuptime |-)
* src/Win_GParted.cc: Fixed small bug with removable devices and the devicemenu. Also fixed redundant calling of 2 functions.
* include/FileSystem.h,
src/FileSystem.cc: Execute_Command() now returns exit status of executed command
* the filesystemclasses: returnvalue (bool) is now set according to the return status of the command
* src/GParted_Core.cc: It seemed some kernels remove and re-add blockdevicepaths after the commit_to_os. This caused trouble at some points
where the path was required. I decided to sleep 1 sec after each scan. So rescanning devices will take 1 extra second per device :|
* src/Win_GParted.cc: fixed typo in string.
* Every devicescan now tests on beforehand if the kernel is able to reread the partitiontable. If the kernel is unable to do
this, i disallow most operations. This may seem weird and even a bad thing to do, but the fact is it protects
the innocent user from a lot of potential damage. Till the linuxkernel is able to reread partitiontables no matter what, this seems
to be the best option. Of course a dialog with information will popup whenever such a situation is encountered.
In a next release i might consider adding an 'advanced mode' for users who know what they're doing.
