Replace return by value of const strings from
FileSystem::get_custom_text() and get_generic_text() because that
implies duplication of those strings. Return a reference to constant
strings instead.
FileSystem::resize() (and derived) is only ever called from a single
location and always with the fill_partition argument supplied [1].
Therefore providing a default for the argument is unnecessary. So
remove it.
[1] Since these two commits from 2006-06-17, before GParted 0.3.0, which
added resize_filesystem() and maximize_filesystem() methods to wrap
calls to p_filesystem->resize() into a single location:
08245cd08c
cleanups in the core and the fs'es (resize)

more cleanups in the core and the fs'es (these changelogs are getting
It made the code look a little messy, is easily resolved in the build
system and made the dependencies more complicated than needed. Each
GParted header was tracked via multiple different names (different
numbers of "../include/" prefixes). For example just looking at how
DialogFeatures.o depends on Utils.h:
$ cd src
$ make DialogFeatures.o
$ egrep ' [^ ]*Utils.h' .deps/DialogFeatures.Po
../include/DialogFeatures.h ../include/../include/Utils.h \
../include/../include/../include/../include/../include/../include/Utils.h \
../include/../include/../include/Utils.h \
After removing "../include/" from the GParted header #includes, just
need to add "-I../include" to the compile command via the AM_CPPFLAGS in
src/Makefile.am. Now the dependencies on GParted header files are
tracked under a single name (with a single "../include/" prefix). Now
DialogFeatures.o only depends on a single name to Utils.h:
$ make DialogFeatures.o
$ egrep ' [^ ]*Utils.h' .deps/DialogFeatures.Po
../include/DialogFeatures.h ../include/Utils.h ../include/i18n.h \
Lots of files which use the Partition class relied on the declaration
being included via other header files. This is bad practice.
Add #include "Partition.h" into every file which uses the Partition
class which doesn't already include it. Header file #include guards are
specifically to allow this.
The function never modifies any member variables so make it a const
member function.
(FileSystem::get_custom_text() is a virtual function so can't be made
static).
This is part of parent bug:
Bug #721455 - Obsolete info in license text on multiple modules
and GNOME Goal:

* verify all source files to make sure they have a license and a
copyright, and that both are up-to-date

For active swap space read the usage from /proc/swaps. (Linux kernel
uses units of 1 KiB). By definition inactive swap space is 100% free.
$ cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/sda2 partition 5242876 430552 -1
Always set fs.read = FS::EXTERNAL even if /proc/swaps doesn't exist so
that an attempt is made to open the file generating a specific error, in
addition to the generic error.
open("/proc/swaps", O_RDONLY): No such file or directory
Unable to read the contents of this file system!
Because of this some operations may be unavailable.
The cause might be a missing software package.
The following list of software packages is required for linux-
swap file system support: util-linux.
Closes Bug #708107 - Usage of swap space is not reported
Include guards need to be unique within GParted code and all included
library header files.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Include_guard#Difficulties
Use this model for all include guards:
#ifndef GPARTED_FILE_NAME_H
#define GPARTED_FILE_NAME_H
...
#endif /* GPARTED_FILE_NAME_H */
Closes Bug #539297 - Make include guards unique
Many filesystems do not implement some of their methods, but had to provide
dummy implementations. Remove all of the dummy implementations and instead
just provide one in the base FileSystem class.
This commit only adds a remove() method to every file system and an
optional call to it in the relevant operations. All remove() methods
are no operations and not enabled.
The remove() method provides explicit controlled removal of a file
system before the partition is deleted or overwritten by being formatted
or pasted into. When implemented, it appears as an extra step in the
relevant operation. The file system specific remove() method is
explicitly allowed to fail and stop the operations currently being
applied.
This is different to the existing erase_filesystem_signatures() which
wipes any previous file system signatures immediately before a new file
system is written to ensure there is no possibility of the partition
containing two or more different file system signatures. It never fails
or reports anything to the user.
NOTE:
Most file systems should NOT implement a remove() method as it will
prevent recovery from accidental partition deletion.
Bug #670171 - Add LVM PV read-write 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

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.
* added support for reading volumelabels. Atm we only read ext2/3, but
the infrastructure for adding the other filesystems is in place.
It's simply a matter of finding the right commands and parsing the
output. (see #338528 for more info)
* added detailed progressfeedback. It still needs some polishing, but
is already far better then the old situation. And what's more, it's
finally threadsafe :p
* 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.
* Again way too many chances to create a detailed entry (i'm glad i'm the only dev atm :P ).
Resizing of ext2/3 works perfect now. I've even tested it on the partition holding my SG seasons =)
Implemented checking of filesystems (only internally used atm).
Done some overall tweaking, finetuning etc.. release 0.0.7 is getting shape.
* Rewrote a large part of gparteds internal code. Filesystemssupport is now much more separated from the rest of gparted and
adding support for other filesystems should be a piece of cake now (hope that's true :P)
It still needs a lot of love, but the foundations are laid =)
