The Gdk::RGBA data type was introduced to replace Gdk::Color in
Gtkmm 3.0 [1], with Gdk::Color being deprecated in Gtkmm 3.10 [2].
With this commit we make the change to Gdk::RGBA data type which is the
modern replacement to Gdk::Color. Gdk::RGBA can be used almost as a
drop in replacement because it keeps most of the Gdk::Color interface.
Also, this commit removes the C Gtk call introduced during the
port-to-gtk3 patchset by commit:

Mostly add, but also remove, #includes so both DialogFeatures.h and .cc
include exactly the header files each needs to get the definitions they
use.
Header file #include guards are there to specifically enable this.
To better reflect that it is loading the supported actions for one file
system into the treeview, just like it's parent load_filesystems() is
initiating the loading for all the file systems.
Open the File System Support dialog, either add or remove some file
system specific commands used by GParted and press the
[Rescan For Supported Actions] button. The supported actions don't
change. However after just closing and reopening the dialog, the
supported actions do reflect the added or removed file system specific
commands.
Bisected to this commit:
4d6d464664
Display "other" in the File System Support dialog (!13)
The problem is that commit made a subset copy of the
GParted_Core::FILESYSTEMS vector, obtained from get_filesystems(), so
when the rescan ran and the FILESYSTEMS vector was updated with new
supported actions, the dialog still displayed the original subset copy,
so didn't reflect the changed supported actions.
Fix by passing a reference to the GParted_Core::FILESYSTEMS vector,
obtained from get_filesystems(), and perform the necessary filtering
inside the dialog, like before the above faulty commit. Additionally
finding and adding "other" file system to the end of the list.

Having a member variable named 't' which is used to share state in a
Dialog_Progress object between on_signal_show() and on_cancel() methods
is horrible. Rename to something more meaningful.
Also initialise m_curr_op in the constructor's initialisation list,
rather than later when first used in on_signal_show(). Not strictly
required, but avoids this POD (Plain Old Data) member variable being
undefined in the Dialog_Progress object between construction and when
on_signal_show() previously assigned to it for the first time and
started using it.

Some icon themes only provide large icons for stock items. This can
cause problems like overly large icons appearing in the GParted UI.
Found on Kubuntu 16.04 LTS with default breeze icon theme.
Be compatible with these icon themes by forcing scaling of stock icons
to the requested size.
Icons are used either by Gtk::Image widgets, or Gtk::CellRendererPixbuf
objects for comboboxes/treeviews. For Gtk::Image widgets we add
Utils::mk_image() that constructs Gtk::Image widgets and then sets the
pixel-size property. For Gtk::CellRendererPixbuf we add
Utils::mk_pixbuf() that first loads a Gdk::Pixbuf and then scales if
needed.

It is not creating a dialog (a pop-up window managed by GParted code
itself). It is launching independent yelp program to display the help,
so remove the "_dialog" from the name to avoid any possible confusion.
In Gtk3 the progress bar height is fixed and defined by the CSS theme in
use. Changing the widget allocation size does nothing, it is always
rendered the same way.
In many themes, including Adwaita, the progressbar is very, very thin.
Provide custom CSS to specify a height of 8 pixels.
The CSS source string has to be differentiated for Gtk pre and post
3.20, because Gtk 3.20 introduced some breaking changes in the way CSS
is handled.

GtkComboBox when it is not hidden results in this message:
Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_is_drawable: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
This happens in GParted when some dialogs are closed, for example the

The issue was fixed in Gtk 3.24.0.

Starting from Gtkmm3 Gdk::Cursor objects cannot be constructed directly,
but instead you have to get a smart pointer to an instance by calling
the static member function Gdk::Cursor::create().
Gdk::Cursor::create() returns a Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Cursor> object.

plain Gdk::Cursor.

Create an active Linux Software RAID member which is larger than /dev
virtual file system and GParted will report the usage figure of the /dev
virtual file system for the SWRAID member.
# df -h /dev

devtmpfs 732M 0 732M 0% /dev
# sgdisk -n 1:1M:+1G /dev/sdb
# mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md1 --level=linear --raid-devices=1 --force /dev/sdb1
mdadm: Defaulting to version 1.2 metadata
mdadm: array /dev/md1 started.
GParted reports the usage of /dev/sdb1 as:
Partition Mount Point Size Used Unused Unallocated
/dev/sdb1 /dev/md1 1.00GiB 0.00B 731.04MiB 292.96MiB
However GParted should have reported the usage as "---" for unknown
because it isn't coded to query the size of the SWRAID member within a
partition.
The fault has been bisected to this commit:
Extend un/mounting and usage reporting to unsupported file systems (!13)
95903efb1f
What happens for busy Linux Software RAID array members:
* GParted_Core::is_busy()
has custom code to identify busy members.
* GParted_Core::set_mountpoints()
has custom code to add the array device name as the "mount point" of
the member.
* GParted_Core::set_used_sectors()
falls into the else not a supported file system (because SWRAID
doesn't have a derived FileSystem implementation class).
* GParted_Core::mounted_set_used_sectors()
is called to get the file system usage of mounted, but unsupported
file systems, such as UFS and any others.
* Utils::get_mounted_filesystem_usage()
is called which queries the kernel using statvfs() and gets the file
system usage of the /dev virtual file system because the array
device name will always start /dev.
Fix by ensuring that GParted only asks the kernel for the usage of paths
which it knows are mount points of mounted file systems. (As read from
/proc/mounts and cached in the Mount_Info module). Also rename the
method, by inserting "_fs", to mounted_fs_set_used_sectors() to remind
us that it is for mounted *file systems* only.

C++ initialises static member variables before main() is called.
Therefore the static members of:
struct Slots
{
static Gtk::TreeModelColumn<Glib::ustring> text;
static Gtk::TreeModelColumn<bool> sensitive;
private:
static Gtk::TreeModel::ColumnRecord record_;
};
are constructed before Gtk::Main() is called in main(). However the
Gtkmm documentation specifically says that they must be constructed
afterwards [1].
Resolve this by using the Construct On First Use Idiom [2] to delay
initialisation until the slots are first used. Normally this idiom uses
static local objects, however it is being applied to class static
objects here because the objects are accessed in many methods. The
downside of this approach is that the objects are never destructed,
which memory analysers like Valgrind could see as a memory leak, but
that is actually deliberate. That leak can be removed once we can use
C++11 and std::unique_ptr.

Fix by preventing online resizing of *all* file systems mounted

in this case, display an information dialog explaining why the partition
can't be resized. This is similar to what happens when attempting to
create a new partition on a disk without a partition table. The new
dialog looks like:

Either unmount the file system or remount it read-write.

Copying and moving is now implemented for file systems in the basic

Closes!13 - Support copying and moving of unsupported partition content
PATCHSET OVERVIEW:
Forum user wanted to be able to move a partition with unknown content:
Topic: Can't move/rezise partition on android device (unknown format)
http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=17742
While GParted isn't going to be able to run any sort of file system
check on the unknown content there isn't any reason why such a partition
can't be copied or moved so long as the partition stays the same size.
GParted can just use it's existing internal block copy routine it uses
for copying and moving most partition content. This is no different to
a few of the already supported file system types which don't have a
check-repair tool: exfat, f2fs, nilfs2, udf, ufs.
This patchset introduces a third category called basic file system
support to go along with the existing full and unsupported categories.
Basic supported file systems will just use GParted's inbuilt
capabilities to perform actions so they won't need a derived FileSystem
implementation class. Unknown file systems along with all other
recognised, but otherwise unsupported, file systems will be assigned to
this new basic supported category.
THIS PATCH:
FS_UNKNOWN is used when GParted is unable to identify the contents of a
partition. FS_UNKNOWN is also used to generate a file system support
set with no supported actions, in the FileSystem::FS::FS() constructor
and in GParted_Core::get_fs().
As support for operations on partitions with unknown content is being
added, the second usage will be confusing or even wrong.
FS( FS_UNKNOWN ) constructs the no supported actions set, yet GParted
will support some actions for the FS_UNKNOWN file system type.
Therefore add FS_UNSUPPORTED for the second usage.
Closes!13 - Support copying and moving of unsupported partition content

simplified now it doesn't have to implement this pattern of behaviour
itself.
Bug 795617 - Implement opening and closing of LUKS mappings
Reports generic GParted error "Failed to open LUKS encryption" on any
failure unlocking the partition. Choosing not to display cryptsetup
reported errors because those messages and their translations are not
under GParted control.
Bug 795617 - Implement opening and closing of LUKS mappings
The underlying C coded Gtk Entry widget is careful to zero memory after
use, allowing the widget to be safely used for password entry [1].
However the C++ method Gtk::Entry::get_text() just takes the underlying
C string from the Gtk Entry widget and copies it when constructing a
Glib::ustring for the return value [2].
So directly use the Gtk/C API to get the C string instead.
[1] https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/tree/gtk/gtkentrybuffer.c?h=3.22.28#n92
See function trash_area() which zeros memory and its use in
gtk_entry_buffer_normal_insert_text(),
gtk_entry_buffer_normal_delete_text() and
gtk_entry_buffer_finalize().

_WRAP_METHOD(Glib::ustring get_text() const, gtk_entry_get_text)
https://git.gnome.org/browse/glibmm/tree/docs/internal/using_gmmproc.txt?h=2.46.1#n53
_WRAP_METHOD(Glib::ustring METHOD const, FUNC) is processed to:
Glib::ustring METHOD() const
{
return Glib::convert_const_gchar_ptr_to_ustring(
FUNC(const_cast<GtkEntry*>(gobj())));
}
https://git.gnome.org/browse/glibmm/tree/glib/glibmm/utility.h?h=2.46.1#n82
Glib::ustring convert_const_gchar_ptr_to_ustring(const char* str)
{
return (str) ? Glib::ustring(str) : Glib::ustring();
}
So Gtk::Entry::get_text() calls Glib::ustring() constructor which
copies the C string to create the Glib::ustring object returned.
Bug 795617 - Implement opening and closing of LUKS mappings
To keep password dialog open, just keep running it in a loop performing
LUKS mapping unlock attempts with the entered passphrase until it
succeeds or the dialog is cancelled or closed. This is the same model
that is already used for the File Support System dialog and how the
[Rescan For Supported Actions] button is implemented.
Also any error from attempting to open the LUKS mapping is no longer
displayed in a separate error dialog or at all. Will add some sort of
error reporting into the password entry dialog in a following commit.
Creates new method Win_GParted::open_encrypted_partition() which handles
the non UI parts of attempting to open an encrypted partition. Running
"cryptsetup luksOpen" and updating the stored passphrase as needed.
Bug 795617 - Implement opening and closing of LUKS mappings
Initial addition of a password entry dialog. Looks like:
+------------------------------------------------+
| LUKS Passphrase /dev/sdb1 |
+------------------------------------------------+
| Enter LUKS passphrase to open /dev/sdb1 |
| Passphrase: [ ] |
| |
| [ Cancel ] [ Unlock ] |
+------------------------------------------------+
A standard Gtk Dialog is used to accept the password once, with any
errors displayed in a separate error dialog afterwards. This is poor UI
design. A password dialog should remain open for all authentication
attempts and only close when successful or the dialog is cancelled or
closed. This UI design issue will be improved in following commits.
Bug 795617 - Implement opening and closing of LUKS mappings
Add new item to the partition menu to allow the user to open and close
the LUKS mapping. However for now the menu item is always disabled and
there is no implementation behind it to actually open or close the LUKS
mapping. Fragment of the partition menu is now:
...
Format to >
-----------------
Open Encryption <- New menu item
Mount
-----------------
Name Partition
...
Has to be two separate menu items to clearly represent to the user that
LUKS mappings and file system mounting are two separate busy states.
And also in the case of an open but unmounted file system to offer both
actions; close encryption and mount file system.
The text of the menu item automatically changes similarly to how it does
for the Mount/Unmount, Swapon/Swapoff, Activate/Deactivate item
depending on the state of the LUKS mapping. For open LUKS mappings it
will show "Close Encryption" and for all other cases (closed LUKS
mapping or partition is not encrypted) "Open Encryption". Again similar
to how the default of "Mount" is shown for unallocated and unknown
partitions.
Bug 795617 - Implement opening and closing of LUKS mappings

Bug 795617 - Implement opening and closing of LUKS mappings
As discussed in "LUKS password handling, threats and preventative
measures" [1] GParted must be able to pass LUKS passphrases to
cryptsetup via standard input to avoid having to write passwords to the
file system and deal with additional security requirements. Therefore
add a way to write input into created child processes. For small
amounts of input, writing up to the pipe buffer capacity won't block
[2]. This is 64K on versions of Linux in any currently supported
distributions.
[1] LUKS password handling, threats and preventative measures
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627701#c56
GParted must not become a password manage so it must never save
LUKS passwords to disk across separate invocations of GParted.
...
GParted should avoid writing a temporary file containing the LUKS
password as it introduces extra complexity with trying to safely
handle and erase file content. Instead GParted must
programmatically pass the LUKS password via standard input to the
cryptsetup command.
[2] pipe(7) manual page:
Pipe capacity
A pipe has a limited capacity. If the pipe is full, then a
write(2) will block or fail, depending on whether the O_NONBLOCK
flag is set (see below). ...
In Linux versions before 2.6.11, the capacity of a pipe was the
same as the system page size (e.g., 4096 bytes on i386). Since
Linux 2.6.11, the pipe capacity is 65536 bytes.
Bug 795617 - Implement opening and closing of LUKS mappings
Use private access into the PasswordRAMStore class to directly obtain
the address of the locked memory, rather than inferring it from the
address of the first stored password. This simplifies
PasswordRAMStoreTest::SetUpTestCase() and avoids encoding most of the
implementation knowledge that the first password will be stored at the
start of the protected memory.
Bug 795617 - Implement opening and closing of LUKS mappings
Test that all passwords are zeroed by PasswordRAMStore::erase_all(), the
same method as used in the PasswordRAMStore destructor.
Bug 795617 - Implement opening and closing of LUKS mappings
Application level requirements for secure password management were set
out in "LUKS password handling, threats and preventative measures" [1].
The requirements are:
1) Passwords are stored in RAM and are not allowed to be paged to swap.
(However hibernating with GParted still running will write all of RAM
to swap).
2) Passwords are wiped from RAM when no longer needed. When each
password is no longer needed and when GParted closes.
3) Passwords are referenced by unique key. Recommend using LUKS UUIDs
as the unique key.
(Each LUKS password should only ever need to be entered once for each
execution of GParted. Therefore the passwords can't be stored in any
of the existing data structures such as Partitions or LUKS_Info cache
because all of these are cleared and reloaded on each device
refresh).
There seems to be two possible implementation methods: use an existing
library to provide secure memory handling, or write our own.
Libgcrypt [2] and libsodium [3] cryptographic libraries both provide
secure memory handling. (Secure memory is quite simple really, some
virtual memory locked into RAM which is zeroed when no longer needed).
Linking to an encryption library just to provide secure memory seems
like using a sledge hammer to crack a nut. Also because of requirement
(3) above a module is needed to "own" the pointers to the passwords in
the secure memory. Managing the secure memory ourselves is probably no
more code that that needed to interface to libgcrypt. Therefore handle
the secure memory ourselves.
So far the module is only compiled. It is not used anywhere in GParted.

PATCHSET OVERVIEW:
As of 31 March 2017 RHEL / CentOS 5 reached the end of their support
[1][2]. Therefore remove code which supports them. This makes RHEL /
CentOS 6 the oldest supported distribution. So the minimum required
versions of glibmm and gtkmm can be increased dropping some autoconf
checks and conditional code supporting older versions of these
libraries. This will undo the bulk of these these previous bug fixes:
* GParted 0.21.0
Bug 738706 - Add support for ext4 on RHEL/CentOS 5.x
* GParted 0.16.1

Check for e4fsprogs commands for ext4 support on RHEL/CentOS 5.x (#738706)
Mkfs_cmd member variable is being kept as a convenience so that it is
created once rather than on each use. Also note that as it is a
Glib::ustring type object, it's constructor will be called which will
initialise it to the empty string so it doesn't need initialising to the
empty string in the initialiser list of the ext2() constructor itself.
Bug 794253 - Desupport RHEL / CentOS 5 and raise minimum required

Struct FS and struct FS_Limits are strongly related to the FileSystem
class, both being return values from members and associated with storing
file system attributes. Move their definitions from Utils.h into
FileSystem.h.
There are too many different types of things named "filesystem" in the
GParted code with the potential to cause confusion. Namely:
std::vector<FS> FILESYSTEMS
Vector of file system capabilities.
class FileSystem Base class interfacing to file system
specific executables for querying and
modification.
enum FILESYSTEM Symbolic constants representing each file
system type.
Many recent written or re-written functions already used a variable
named fstype. Rename enum FILESYSTEM to enum FSType to clearly
distinguish it from the other things with very similar names. Only
changing the name of the enumeration, not the name of variables of that
type too because that is a lot more lines of code and those can be
changed when the relevant code is re-written.
There are multiple repetitions of the same code getting a FileSystem
object, checking for NULL and then calling the file system specific
get_filesystem_limits(). Extract that into a common function.
GParted_Core::get_filesystem_limits() can't use the file system from the
passed Partition object because that is the current file system which
will be different from the intended file system for new and format
operations. So would look up the wrong derived FileSystem specific
object and call the wrong get_filesystem_limits(). Hence still needing
fstype as a separate parameter to pass the intended file system.
Bug 787204 - Minimum and maximum size of the UDF partition/disk
UDF file system minimum and maximum size limits are defined in terms of
numbers of file system blocks. So when resizing an existing file system
compute the byte size limits from the existing UDF file system's block
size. Alternatively when creating a new UDF file system use the
device's sector size as the multiplier instead.
Bug 787204 - Minimum and maximum size of the UDF partition/disk
As described in the previous commit, this is so that file system
specific implementations can dynamically determine size limits based on
Partition object attributes: such as the device sector size and the file
system block size. (Assuming set_used_sectors() sets
partition.fs_block_size for the type of file system in question).
Bug 787204 - Minimum and maximum size of the UDF partition/disk
All the code has been switched to call get_filesystem_limits() and use
struct FS_Limits. Remove struct FS members .MIN & .MAX.
Bug 787204 - Minimum and maximum size of the UDF partition/disk
Change Dialog_Partition_New to use a fs_limits rather than struct FS
and .MIN and .MAX. No passing of struct FS_Limits required. Just use
the FILESYSTEMS vector of struct FS to provide the file system type and
look up it's size limits each time the selection changes.
Bug 787204 - Minimum and maximum size of the UDF partition/disk
Refactor Win_GParted::activate_resize() to query the file system size
limits using the new get_filesystem_limits() method and pass those
limits into the dialog class as struct FS_Limits.
Bug 787204 - Minimum and maximum size of the UDF partition/disk
Refactor Win_GParted::activate_paste() to query the file system size
limits using the new get_filesystem_limits() method and pass those
limits into the the dialog class as struct FS_Limits.
Bug 787204 - Minimum and maximum size of the UDF partition/disk
Adds working copy fs_limits member into common Dialog_Base_Partition
class. Changes the internal code in Dialog_Partition_Copy class to use
fs_limits instead of fs.MIN and fs.MAX. The limits are still passed
into the constructor via object of struct FS and it's members .MIN and
.MAX but immediately used to assign to the fs_limits member.
Bug 787204 - Minimum and maximum size of the UDF partition/disk
PATCH SET OVERVIEW:
Currently the supported actions of each file system and their size
limits are stored in struct FS objects. These are created by calling
file system specific derived implementations of
FileSystem::get_filesystem_support(). This happens when GParted is
started or when a when a rescan for supported actions is performed. The
file system size limits are expressed as a fixed number of bytes.
The maximum UDF file system size is specified in terms of file system
block size units. Also the file system block size must match the sector
size of the underlying device. Typically 2K for optical media and 512
bytes or 4K for hard drives.
Therefore GParted can't properly express the true UDF file system size
limits because they depend on the block size of an existing UDF file
system or the sector size of the device for new UDF file systems. In
fact other file systems such as EXT2/3/4 and XFS actually express their
maximum file system size in terms of numbers of file system blocks but
these tend to always be 4K and don't have to match the sector size of
the underlying device, so fixed byte values tend to suffice.
To update GParted for this, first separate file system size limits from
struct FS into struct FS_Limits and provide new
FileSystem::get_filesystem_limits() method to allow the limits to be
queried independently of the calls to get_filesystem_support().
Second, pass Partition objects and allow derived get_filesystem_limits()
implementations.
THIS PATCH:
Just creates a separate structure storing fixed value file system
minimum and maximum size limits along with getter method
get_filesystem_limits().

The general rule is that:
1) For a partition change step BEFORE a file system change step,
rollback on failure;
2) For a partition change step AFTER a file system change step, don't
rollback on failure.
Examining every case where resize_move_partition() is called and whether
rollback on failure is wanted or not:
* In resize_move()
Resize / move extended partition. No associated file system change.
NO ROLLBACK
Just to keep possibly applied operation.
* #1 in move()
Making all encompassing partition before moving file system.
ROLLBACK
To restore partition boundaries back to those of the file system.
* #2 in move()
Recreating original partition boundaries after file system move
failed or was cancelled and has been rolled back.
NO ROLLBACK
To keep updated partition boundaries to match restored file system
data.
* #3 in move()
Replacing all encompassing partition with final partition after
successful file system move.
NO ROLLBACK
Keep new partition boundaries to match moved file system.
* #1 in resize_encryption()
Making the partition larger before growing closed LUKS encrypted
data.
ROLLBACK
Restore partition boundaries back to those of the closed LUKS
encrypted data.
* #2 in resize_encryption()
Shrinking the partition after open LUKS mapping has been shrunk, but
before swap is re-created (smaller).
NO ROLLBACK
Difficult case because the partition shrink is in the middle of a
LUKS shrink and a swap shrink (re-create). If swap was actually
shrunk like other types of file system, rather than re-created, then
the operation sequence would be (1) shrink swap, (2) shrink LUKS
encryption, (3) shrink partition. In this hypothetical case and the
actual case no rollback is preferred to try to keep the new
partition boundaries match the shrunk open LUKS encryption mapping.
* #3 in resize_encryption()
Grow the partition before growing open LUKS mapping and re-creating
swap larger.
ROLLBACK
Restore partition boundaries back to those of the smaller open LUKS
encryption mapping.
* #4 in resize_encryption()
Shrink the partition after shrinking the file system and open LUKS
encryption mapping.
NO ROLLBACK
Keep new smaller partition boundaries to match shrunk encrypted file
system.
* #5 in resize_encryption()
Grow the partition before growing the open LUKS encryption mapping
and file system.
ROLLBACK
Restore partition boundaries back to those of the not yet grown
encrypted file system.
* #1 in resize_plain()
Resize partition before re-creating swap a different size.
ROLLBACK
Restore partition boundaries back to those of the not yet resized
(re-created) swap space.
* #2 in resize_plain()
Shrink partition after shrinking the file system.
NO ROLLBACK
Keep new smaller partition boundaries to match shrunk file system.
* #3 in resize_plain()
Grow partition before growing the file system.
ROLLBACK
Restore partition boundaries back to those of the not yet grown
file system.
Removes the default value from the rollback_on_fail parameter so
rollback or not has to be explicitly specified for every call of
resize_move_partition().
Bug 791875 - Rollback specific failed partition change steps
Even after implementing a fix for bug 790418 "Unable to inform the
kernel of the change message may lead to corrupted partition table"
GParted/libparted can still encounter errors informing the kernel of the
new partition layout. This has been seen with GParted on CentOS 7 with
libparted 3.1.
In such a case the partition has been successfully written to the disk
but just informing the kernel failed. This is a problem because when a
partition is being moved in advance of a file system move step, failure
to inform the kernel leaves the partition boundaries not matching the on
disk limits of the file system. For a move to the left this leaves the
partition reported as unknown, apparently losing the user's data.
For example start with a 512 MiB partition containing an XFS file
system. This is recognised by blkid and parted, hence also by GParted.
# blkid /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb1: UUID=... TYPE="xfs" PARTUUID="37965980-01"
# parted /dev/sdb unit s print
Model: ATA VBOX HARDDISK (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 16777216s

Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 1048576s 2097151s 1048576s primary xfs
Now move the partition 100 MiB to the left and have it fail to inform
the kernel after the first partition change step. Operation details:
Move /dev/sdb1 to the left (ERROR)
* calibrate /dev/sdb1 (SUCCESS)
* check file system on /dev/sdb1 for errors and (if poss...(SUCCESS)
* grow partition from 512.00 MiB to 612.00 MiB (ERROR)
old start: 1048576
old end: 2097151
old size: 1048576 (512.00 MiB)
requested start: 843776
requested end: 2097151
requested size: 1253376 (612.00 MiB)
* libparted messages (ERROR)
Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition
/dev/sdb1 -- Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't
know about any changes you made to /dev/sdb1 until you reboot
-- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before
rebooting. Failed to add partition 1 (resource temporarily
unavailable)
Now because the start of the partition is 100 MiB before the start of
the file system, the file system is no longer recognised, and apparently
the user's data has been lost.
# blkid /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb1: PARTUUID="37965980-01"
# parted /dev/sdb unit s print

It doesn't matter why updating the partition failed, even if it was
because of an error writing to the disk. Rollback of the change to the
partition should be attempted. The worst case scenario is that rollback
of the change fails, which is the equivalent to how the code worked
before this patch set.
However in other cases where the partition boundaries are being updated
after a file system move or shrink step then the partition should be
updated to match the new location of the file system itself. And no
rollback is wanted. If the failure was only informing the kernel then
in fact the partition has actually been updated on disk after all.
So each partition resize/move step needs examining on a case by case
basis to decide if rolling back the change to the partition is wanted or
not.
This patch only adds partition change rollback into
resize_move_partition(). Rollback remains disabled until all cases are
examined in the following patch.
Bug 791875 - Rollback specific failed partition change steps
Extract common code which updates a DMRaid device mapper entry into a
sub-function. This will also be needed when adding rollback of a
partition change on failure.
Bug 791875 - Rollback specific failed partition change steps
Extract the code which actually implements the partition change into a
sub-function ready for adding rollback of the change on failure.
Bug 791875 - Rollback specific failed partition change steps
All libparted messages were reported as informational, even for a step
which failed. Instead identify libparted messages as either
informational or errors depending on whether this step was successful
or not respectively.
Bug 790842 - Report libparted messages into operation details at the
point at which they occur
Replace the explicit adding of libparted exception messages with a
callback to do it instead, and fire the callback just once per operation
by only changing the very top-level OperationDetail to use the new
set_success_and_capture_errors(). Therefore this still produces exactly
the same operation details with libparted messages at the end of each
operation.
Bug 790842 - Report libparted messages into operation details at the
point at which they occur
All code implementing a step of an operation follows this pattern:
od.add_child(OperationDetail("Step heading"));
od.get_last_child().add_child(OperationDetail("More details"));
// Do step
success = ...
od.get_last_child().set_status(success ? STATUS_SUCCESS
: STATUS_ERROR);
At this point any libparted messages reported via exceptions need to be
added into the OperationDetail tree. Also adding further children into
the tree after collecting those errors needs to be prohibited (as much
as the previous patch prohibited it).
Add a new method which will replace the final set_status() call above
like this which set the status, captures the errors and flags that
further children shouldn't be added:
...
od.get_last_child().set_success_and_capture_errors(status);
It emits a callback to capture the errors to provide flexibility and so
that the OperationDetail class doesn't have to get into the details of
how GParted_Core saves libparted exception messages.
Bug 790842 - Report libparted messages into operation details at the
point at which they occur
Want functionality to prevent further child details being added to an
OperationDetail. This is so that the captured libparted error messages
are always the last child in the list, and more details (at that point
in the tree) can't be added.
For example we want GParted to report like this:
Move /dev/sdb3 to the right and shrink it from 1.14 GiB to...(SUCCESS)
...
* shrink partition from 1.14 GiB to 1.00 GiB (SUCCESS)
* old start: 4464640
old end: 6856703
old size: 2392064 (1.14 GiB)
* new start: 4464640
new end: 6561791
new size: 2097152 (1.00 GiB)
* libparted messages (INFO)
* DEBUG: GParted generated synthetic libparted excepti...
and not like this:
Move /dev/sdb3 to the right and shrink it from 1.14 GiB to...(SUCCESS)
...
* shrink partition from 1.14 GiB to 1.00 GiB (SUCCESS)
* old start: 4464640
old end: 6856703
old size: 2392064 (1.14 GiB)
* libparted messages (INFO)
* DEBUG: GParted generated synthetic libparted excepti...
* new start: 4464640
new end: 6561791
new size: 2097152 (1.00 GiB)
So actually preventing the addition of more child details would stop
users seeing information they should see. So instead just report a bug
message into the operation details. This doesn't stop anything, but the
bug message will be seen and allow us to fix GParted.
So far nothing is enforced. This patch just adds the mechanism to
report a bug when a new child detail is added when prohibited.
Bug 790842 - Report libparted messages into operation details at the
point at which they occur
Remove whole_device flag and replace with new partition type
TYPE_UNPARTITIONED. Minimally adapt the remaining code to compile and
run.
Bug 788308 - Remove whole_device partition flag
PATCHSET OVERVIEW:
When unpartitioned drive read-write support was added this commit added
a whole_device flag:
5098744f9a
Add whole_device flag to the partition object (#743181)
Using a whole_device flags now seems not the correct way to model
unpartitioned drives. GParted models an uninitialised drive as:
.path = _("uninitialized")
.type = TYPE_UNALLOCATED
.whole_device = true
.filesystem = FS_UNALLOCATED
and a whole drive file system, using ext4 for example, as:
.path = "/dev/sdb"
.type = TYPE_PRIMARY
.whole_device = true
.filesystem = FS_EXT4
No partitioning changed yet the type of the partition in the model
changed between TYPE_UNALLOCATED and TYPE_PRIMARY depending on whether
the whole drive contains a recognised file system or not.
The partition object describing a file system within a LUKS encryption
mapping is another case of the model not matching reality.
.path = /dev/mapper/crypt_sdb1_crypt
.type = TYPE_PRIMARY
.whole_device = true
.filesystem = FS_EXT4
There is no partition table within the encryption mapping, the file
system fills it, but GParted records it as a primary partition.
Make TYPE_UNALLOCATED and TYPE_PRIMARY be reserved for representing
unallocated space and primary partitions within a partitioned disk drive
and introduce new TYPE_UNPARTITIONED for all cases of an unpartitioned
whole disk drive.
The GParted UI does differentiate between an unallocated whole disk
device and anything else by requiring a partition table to be created
first, even if that is just the loop partition table. That
determination can simply look for the partition object containing file
system type FS_UNALLOCATED instead.
THIS PATCH:
Create set_unpartitioned() helper method to set a partition object to
represent a whole disk drive and use everywhere such an object is
modelled. This matches what existing methods Set_Unallocated() and
indeed Set() do for unallocated space and any type of partition
respectively.
For now the partition type is still set to either TYPE_UNALLOCATED or
TYPE_PRIMARY so the rest of the code base remains the same.
TYPE_UNPARTITIONED will be introduced later.
Bug 788308 - Remove whole_device partition flag
Naming a file system image file on the command line is shown by GParted
as unknown.
$ truncate -s 100M /tmp/fat.img
$ mkfs.vfat /tmp/fat.img
$ sudo ./gpartedbin /tmp/fat.img
Currently the FS_Info cache is loaded for all devices reported by
blkid (plus all whole disk devices identified from /proc/partitions even
if blkid reports nothing). However file system images named on the
command line are not queried so GParted can't identify them.
Fix by ensuring that the FS_Info blkid cache is loaded for all named
devices, including named file system image files.
Note that Mount_Info::load_cache() depends on the contents of the
FS_Info cache to lookup UUID= and LABEL= device names from /etc/fstab.
However only file systems in block devices can be mounted like this, and
never file system image files, so the fact that the cache may be
extended afterwards by FS_Info::load_cache_for_paths() does not matter.
History
Prior to version 0.22.0, when unpartitioned drive support was added,
GParted could recognise some file system image files using loop
partition handling in libparted. However libparted before version 3.2
reported the loop partition name as the whole disk device name appended
with "1" so all the query commands were provided a non-existent name to
use. Therefore no file system usage or the label was displayed.
Bug 787181 - Fix detection of file system images
So far GParted is still loading the default non-reversible encoded
labels from blkid in the initial loading of the FS_Info module cache.
This encoded label is used to match LABEL=<label> when reading
/etc/fstab, via the get_path_by_label() call, so works for ASCII only
labels. This prevents GParted enabling the "mount on >" partition menu
item when non-ASCII labels are used.
To fix this:
1) Stop reading the labels the wrong way.
Via the blkid command used to initially load the FS_Info module cache
and is subject to default non-reversible encoding of non-printable
ASCII bytes.
2) Read all the labels the right way, but only when needed.
Only when /etc/fstab file contains LABEL=<label> and
get_path_by_label() is called, read all the labels from blkid without
encoding them via run_blkid_update_cache_one_label().
3) Return label from the cache.
get_label() returns the cached label, loading it into the cache first
if needed with run_blkid_update_cache_one_label().
In the worst case scenario of having a LABEL=<label> in /etc/fstab blkid
will be run for every partition containing a recognised file system to
read the label. On my desktop with 5 hard drives, 4 SWRaid arrays and
31 recognised file systems running 'blkid -o value -s LABEL ...' 31
times took 0.074 seconds of a total scan time of 9.072 seconds. Less
that 1% of the total scanning time. When LABEL=<label> is not used in
/etc/fstab individual blkid executions are only used to read labels for
file systems where there is no file system specific tool available
reducing the impact further. Blkid itself caches the data in it's
blkid.tab cache file rather than reading all file systems on each
invocation. Also the Linux file system cache will already contain the
blkid executable file, needed libraries files and the blkid.tab cache
file itself. Hence why repeated execution of blkid is so fast.
Further to the updated comment in set_partition_label_and_uuid().
Matching LABEL=<label> from /etc/fstab uses the label obtained from
blkid run in the C locale so this kind of assumes it returns the label
correctly and it does for my limited testing on Unicode enabled
desktops. Just not sure if it would be true for all cases in all
locales compared to the FS specific command run in the users default
locale.
Bug 786502 - Support reading Unicode labels when file system specific
tools aren't available
Move the code which reads the Unicode label from FS_Info::get_label()
into new function run_blkid_update_cache_one_label() which also replaces
the non-reversibly encoded copy loaded during the initial cache load.
This is mainly a bit of code refactoring ready for the following change.
It deliberately keeps the initial loaded labels so that reading
/etc/fstab and decoding LABEL=<label> to block special device names via
FS_Info::get_path_by_label() continues to works, at least for ASCII only
labels.
Bug 786502 - Support reading Unicode labels when file system specific
tools aren't available
Make especially the Volume Identifier length limit code simpler to
understand and therefore easier to maintain.
Bug 784533 - Add support for UDF file system
UDF label is stored in the Logical Volume Identifier which has space for
either 126 Latin1 or 63 UCS-2 characters. For compatibility reasons
with older versions of blkid, the possibly truncated UDF label is also
stored in the Volume Identifier which only has space for 30 Latin1 or 15
UCS-2 characters.
Because versions of mkudffs prior to 1.1 damage the label if it contains
non-ASCII characters, make sure GParted does not call such versions of
mkudffs with a non-ASCII character label.
Bug 784533 - Add support for UDF file system
Add support for detecting UDF file systems and formatting hard disks
with revision 2.01 UDF file systems using udftools. Formatting optical
disks or any other media types is not supported yet. Changing label or
UUID after formatting is not supported as the tools do not yet exist.
Bug 784533 - Add support for UDF file system
For large output a lot of time is used copying capturebuf to callerbuf
to provide a Glib::ustring copy of the buffer for the update callback.
However update callbacks are only used when commands are run to apply
operations by FileSystem::execute_command() and their output is
incrementally displayed in the UI. Whereas update callbacks are never
used when commands are used to query information via
Utils::execute_command().
Stop performing interim copying of capturebuf to callerbuf when there
are no update callbacks registered as it is unnecessary.
Time to read portions of the recorded fsck.fat output via
fat16::set_used_sectors() and intermediate copies aren't required:
1 MiB 10 MiB 122 MiB

new code : 0.063 sec 0.56 sec 6.57 sec
Bug 777973 - Segmentation fault on bad disk
If PipeCapture reads a NUL byte in the middle of what is expected to be
a multi-byte UTF-8 character then PipeCapture either returns the
captured characters to the previous update or loops forever depending on
whether the end of the stream is encountered before the read buffer is
full or not. This is equivalent to saying whether the NUL byte occurs
within the last 512 bytes of the output or not.
This is caused by a bug in g_utf8_get_char_validated() reporting that a
partial UTF-8 character has been found when the NUL byte is encountered
in the middle of a multi-byte character even though more bytes are
available in the length specified buffer. g_utf8_get_char_validated()
is always stopping at the NUL byte assuming it is working with a NUL
terminated string.
Workaround this by checking for g_utf8_get_char_validated() claiming a
partial UTF-8 character has been found when in fact there are at least
enough bytes in the read buffer to instead determine that it is really
an invalid UTF-8 character.

Bug 777973 - Segmentation fault on bad disk
A user had a very corrupted FAT file system such that fsck.fat produced
122 MiB of output. GParted has to read this output to get the file
system usage information. However GParted takes more than 48 hours to
read the 122 MiB of output, while using 100% CPU time and is
unresponsive for the duration.
Modified fsck.fat to output just the first 1 MiB of output and used perf
to capture performance data from GParted reading that output:
# perf -g -F 1999 -- ./gpartedbin
# perf report --stdio
67.84% Glib::ustring::replace [4.23s]
17.67% g_utf8_pointer_to_offset [1.10s]
8.48% g_utf8_offset_to_pointer [0.53s]
[ 6.01% (everything else) ] [0.38s]
[100.00% TOTAL ] [6.24s]
And to read the first 10 MiB of output the performance figures are:
92.95% Glib::ustring::replace [257.44s]
4.35% g_utf8_pointer_to_offset [ 12.05s]
2.13% g_utf8_offset_to_pointer [ 5.90s]
[ 0.58% (everything else) ] [ 1.61s]
[100.00% TOTAL ] [277.00s]
See how the total time is increasing non-linearly, 44 times longer for
only 10 times as much data. This is because of the exponential increase
in time spent in Glib::ustring::replace.
After a lot of experimentation I came to the conclusion that
Glib::ustrings are not appropriate for storing and editing large buffers
of data, sizes megabytes and above. The issues are that iterators are
invalid after the content changes and replacing UTF-8 characters by
index gets exponentially slower as the size of the string increases.
Hence the > 48 hours of 100% CPU time to read and apply the line
discipline to the 122 MiB of fsck.fat output. See code comment for a
more detailed description of the issues found.
Rewrote OnReadable() to use Glib::ustrings as little as possible.
Instead using buffers and vectors of fixed width data types allowing for
fast access using pointers and indexes (converted to pointers by the
compiler with simple arithmetic). Again see code comment for a more
detailed description of the implementation.
Repeating the performance capture with the new code for the first 1 MiB
of fsck.fat output:
63.34% memcpy [0.35s]
[ 36.66% (everything else) ] [0.21s]
[100.00% TOTAL ] [0.56s]
And for the first 10 MiB of fsck.fat output:
96.66% memcpy [63.60s]
[ 3.34% (everything else) ] [ 2.20s]
[100.00% TOTAL ] [65.80s]
Simple timings taken to read portions of the fsck.fat output (when not
using perf):
1 MiB 10 MiB 122 MiB
old code : 6.2 sec 277 sec > 48 hours
(4:37)
new code : 0.6 sec 66 sec 17262 sec
(1:06) (4:47:42)
Performance of the code is still non-linear because of the assignment
of the ever growing capturebuf to callerbuf for every block of input
read. This is required to generate a consistent Glib::ustring copy of
the input for the update callback. However this is much faster than
before, and I have a plan for further improvements.

Shallow copy Device object into Operation object (#750168)
The commit message claimed that the deep copied Partition objects inside
the Device inside the Operation object are never accessed. This turned
out not to be true. Win_GParted::Add_Operation() uses them as part of
snap_to_alignment() which updates requested partition boundaries to
account for alignment requirements and the space needed for EBR
(Extended Boot Record) preceding logical partitions.
In this case the new logical partition was trying to be created over the
top of the EBR for the following logical partition because
snap_to_alignment() wasn't aware of its existence.
Fix by making Add_Operation() and snap_to_alignment() refer to the
current device, as displayed in the UI, rather than the shallow copy
included in the Operation object. Hopefully now it is true that the
not copied vector of Partition objects in the Device object in each
Operation object are never accessed.
Bug 779339 - enforce at least 1 MiB "free space following"
The Operation class already provided find_index_extended() method and
was used in the Operation and derived classes where required. It
returns the index to the extended partition in the PartitionVector
object, or -1 when no extended partition exists.
There were several cases of the same functionality being open coded in
GParted_Core and Win_GParted. Therefore move the implementation to
find_extended_partition() in PartitionVector compilation unit and use
this implementation everywhere.
The clear_mountpoints parameter has never been used since
add_mountpoint*() were first added [1][2]. clear_mountpoints() method

Now that resizing of encrypted file systems is implemented add growing
of the open LUKS mapping as part of the check repair operation.
Resizing an encrypted file system requires the LUKS mapping to be open
to access the file system within; therefore it also requires libparted
and kernel support for online partition resizing. This limits resizing
to the latest distributions with libparted >= 3.2 and kernel >= 3.6.
However growing an open LUKS mapping as part of a check repair operation
doesn't require resizing the partition. Therefore route via offline
grow of LUKS to avoid those extra, unnecessary requirement. This does
mean that offline LUKS grow artificially requires cryptsetup, but that is
not really significant as even opening LUKS requires cryptsetup.
So now checking an encrypted file system on even the oldest
distributions does:
1) runs FSCK on the encrypted file system;
2) grows the encryption volume to fill the partition;
3) grows the file system to fill the encryption mapping.
Bug 774818 - Implement LUKS read-write actions NOT requiring a
passphrase
Moving of closed LUKS is simply enabled by luks .move capability being
set and requires no further coding.
Resizing of encrypted file systems requires both the LUKS mapping and
encrypted file system within to be resized in the right order for both
shrinking and growing. To keep the code simple split resizing of plain
and encrypted into separate functions.
Bug 774818 - Implement LUKS read-write actions NOT requiring a
passphrase
Changing the Resize/Move dialog code to also handle PartitionLUKS
objects was considered too complicated. Instead create an unencrypted
equivalent using clone_as_plain(), pass that to the Resize/Move dialog
and finally apply the change back using Partition*::resize().
Bug 774818 - Implement LUKS read-write actions NOT requiring a
passphrase
Add a resize() method to both Partition and PartitionLUKS classes. They
take a reference Partition object, and update the position, size and
file system usage of *this Partition to match. This is ready for taking
a partition returned from Resize/Move dialog and applying the change.
Bug 774818 - Implement LUKS read-write actions NOT requiring a
passphrase
Implement a specialist PartitionLUKS clone method. Creates a new
Partition object which has the same space usage as the source encrypted
file system, but is a plain file system. Namely, the overhead of the
LUKS header has been added to the file system usage. This is ready for
feeding this representation of the partition to the Resize/Move dialog.
Bug 774818 - Implement LUKS read-write actions NOT requiring a
passphrase
Already have:
Utils::get_filesystem_string(FS_EXT2) -> "ext2"
virtual Partition::get_filesystem_string() -> "ext2"
virtual PartitionLUKS::get_filesystem_string() -> "[Encrypted] ext2"
Add these:
Utils::get_encrypted_string() -> "[Encrypted]"
Utils::get_filesystem_string(false, FS_EXT2) -> "ext2"
Utils::get_filesystem_string(true, FS_EXT2) -> "[Encrypted] ext2"
This is ready for use of Utils::get_filesystem_string(true, FS_EXT2)
when composing the preview of a format of an encrypted file system by
Win_GParted::activate_format().
Bug 774818 - Implement LUKS read-write actions NOT requiring a
passphrase
When composing, describing and implementing the operation just need the
code to query and set the Partition object directly containing the file
system, instead of the enclosing encryption mapping to make it work.
The operation details for setting a new UUID on an encrypted ext4 file
system become:
Set a new random UUID on [Encrypted] ext4 file system on /dev/sdb4
+ calibrate /dev/sdb4
+ Set UUID on /dev/mapper/sdb4_crypt to a new, random value
+ tune2fs -U random /dev/mapper/sdb4_crypt
tune2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
Also note the now documented rule in apply_operation_to_disk() which
says each operation must leave the status of the encryption mapping and
file system as it found it.
Bug 774818 - Implement LUKS read-write actions NOT requiring a
passphrase
Provide and use a single interface for getting the file system string
for display, regardless of whether the partition is encrypted or the
encryption mapping is active or not.
Example return values for get_filesystem_string() for different types
and states of Partition objects:
1) Plain ext4 file system: -> "ext4"
2) Closed encrypted: -> "[Encrypted]"
3) Open encrypted ext4 file system: -> "[Encrypted] ext4"
This simplifies the code in TreeView_Detail::create_row() which sets the
file system type displayed in the main window. The same method will
then also be used when setting the operation description as each
operation is updated to handle encrypted file systems.
Bug 774818 - Implement LUKS read-write actions NOT requiring a
passphrase
The previous commit changed how the code behind the main window
retrieved the file system label for display. This is the relevant
changes in TreeView_Detail::create_row():
+ const Partition & filesystem_ptn = partition.get_filesystem_partition();
...
- Glib::ustring temp_filesystem_label = partition.get_filesystem_label();
+ Glib::ustring temp_filesystem_label = filesystem_ptn.get_filesystem_label();
treerow[treeview_detail_columns.label] = temp_filesystem_label;
In the case of an encrypted file system get_filesystem_label() is now
called on the Partition object directly rather than on the outer
Partition object containing the LUKS encryption.
The code behind the Information dialog always obtained and used the
Partition object directly containing the file system to call
get_filesystem_label() since read-only LUKS support was added.
Therefore the virtualised PartitionLUKS::get_filesystem_label() is no
longer needed, so remove it.
Bug 774818 - Implement LUKS read-write actions NOT requiring a
passphrase
There are multiple cases of code wanting to work with the Partition
object directly containing the file system, regardless of whether it is
within a PartitionLUKS object or not. The code had to do something
similar to this to access it:
const Partition * filesystem_ptn = &partition;
if ( partition.filesystem == FS_LUKS && partition.busy )
filesystem_ptn = &dynamic_cast<const PartitionLUKS *>( &partition )->get_encrypted();
...
// Access Partition object directly containing the file system
filesystem_ptn-> ...
Implement and use virtual accessor get_filesystem_partition() which
allows the code to be simplified like this:
const Partition & filesystem_ptn = partition.get_filesystem_partition();
...
// Access Partition object directly containing the file system
filesystem_ptn. ...

More recent versions of blkid don't report an ISO9660 file system on the
whole disk device if partitions can be reports for embedded partitions.
However when querying the whole disk device directly then the expected
ISO9660 file system is reported. For example on CentOS 7 with the
previous ISO images:
# wget http://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/util-linux/util-linux.git/plain/tests/ts/isosize/sample.iso.gz
# dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M of=/dev/sdc
# zcat sample.iso.gz | dd of=/dev/sdc
# blkid -v
blkid from util-linux 2.23.2 (libblkid 2.23.0, 25-Apr-2013)
# blkid | fgrep /dev/sdc
/dev/sdc1: UUID="2013-01-04-22-05-45-00" LABEL="ARCH_201301" TYPE="iso9660" PTTYPE="dos"
# blkid /dev/sdc
/dev/sdc: UUID="2013-01-04-22-05-45-00" LABEL="ARCH_201301" TYPE="iso9660" PTTYPE="dos"
# wget http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.6.0/amd64/iso-cd/debian-8.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso
# dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M of=/dev/sdc
# dd if=debian-8.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso bs=1M of=/dev/sdc
# blkid | fgrep /dev/sdc
/dev/sdc1: UUID="2016-09-17-14-23-48-00" LABEL="Debian 8.6.0 amd64 1" TYPE="iso9660" PTTYPE="dos"
/dev/sdc2: SEC_TYPE="msdos" UUID="17F3-1162" TYPE="vfat"
# blkid /dev/sdc
/dev/sdc: UUID="2016-09-17-14-23-48-00" LABEL="Debian 8.6.0 amd64 1" TYPE="iso9660" PTTYPE="dos"
This behavioural difference with blkid is probably as a result of newer
versions of udev informing the kernel of the partitions embedded within
the ISO9660 image, and not directly as a result of a change in blkid
itself. Older distributions don't have partition entries for the above
ISO images, but CentOS 7 (with udev 219) and later distributions do have
partition entries:
# fgrep sdc /proc/partitions
8 16 8388608 sdc
8 17 252928 sdc1
8 18 416 sdc2
Fix by ensuring that the blkid FS_Info cache has entries for whole disk
devices, even if each entry has all empty attributes because there is a
partition table and not a recognised file system.
Calling blkid on whole disk devices containing partition tables produces
output like this, with newer versions of blkid:
# blkid /dev/sda
/dev/sda: PTTYPE="dos"
# blkid /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb: PTTYPE="gpt"
This will be loaded into the FS_Info cache as a blank entry for the
device by run_blkid_load_cache(). There will be a path name but all the
other attributes will be blank because there are no TYPE, SEC_TYPE, UUID
or LABEL name value pairs. With older versions of blkid no output is
produced at all. In that case load_fs_info_cache_extra_for_path() will
create the same blank entry with just the path name defined.

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:

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 \
Linux-swap is recreated as part of copy, resize and move operations and
the code was special cased to implement that by calling the linux-swap
specific resize method. However the displayed text always said "growing
file system" and then proceeded to recreate linux swap. Example
operation:
Copy /dev/sdb1 to /dev/sdb2
...
+ copy file system from /dev/sdb1 to /dev/sdb2
Partition copy action skipped because linux-swap file system does not contain data
+ grow file system to fill the partition
+ create new linux-swap file system
+ mkswap -L"" -U "77d939ef-54d6-427a-a2bf-a053da7eed4c" /dev/sdb2
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 262140 KiB
LABEL=, UUID=77d939ef-54d6-427a-a2bf-a053da7eed4c
Fix by writing recreate_linux_swap_filesystem() method with better
messaging and use everywhere maximise_filesystem() was previously used
to recreate linux-swap. Also as this is a create step, erase the
partition first to prevent the possibility of any other file system
signatures being found afterwards. Now the operation steps are more
reflective of what is actually being performed.
Copy /dev/sdb1 to /dev/sdb2
...
+ copy file system from /dev/sdb1 to /dev/sdb2
Partition copy action skipped because linux-swap file system does not contain data

Bug 775932 - Refactor mostly applying of operations
resize_filesystem() was meeting two different needs:
1) when called with fill_partition = false it generated operation
details;
2) when called from maximize_filesystem() with fill_partition = true it
skipped generating any operation details;
then ran the switch statement to select the resize implementation. So
extract the common switch statement into new method
resize_filesystem_implement().
Then observe that the only time resize_filesystem() was called to grow
the file system was when re-creating linux-swap. Therefore change that
call to use maximize_filesystem() and rename to shrink_filesystem() and
modify the operation detail messages to match.
Bug 775932 - Refactor mostly applying of operations
Make the methods called below apply_operation_to_disk() follow a
standard naming convention:
* Contains "_partition"
Uses libparted to query or change the partition in the disk label
(partition table).
E.g.:
calibrate_partition()
create_partition()
delete_partition()
name_partition()
resize_move_partition()
set_partition_type()
* Contains "_filesystem"
Manipulates the file system within the partition, mostly using the
FileSystem and derived class methods.
E.g.:
create_filesystem()
remove_filesystem()
label_filesystem()
copy_filesystem()
erase_filesystem_signatures()
check_repair_filesystem()
resize_filesystem()
maximize_filesystem()
* Other
Compound method calling multiple partition and file system related
apply methods.
E.g.:
create()
format()
copy()
resize_move()
resize()
move()
Rename:
Delete() -> delete_partition()
change_uuid() -> change_filesystem_uuid()

Until now an encryption mapping has been modelled as a Partition object
similar to a partition like this:
.encrypted.device_path = "/dev/sdb1"
.encrypted.path = "/dev/mapper/sdb1_crypt"
.encrypted.whole_device = false
.encrypted.sector_start = // start of the mapping in the partition
.encrypted.sector_end = // end of the mapping in the partition
However accessing device_path in the start to end sector range is not
equivalent to accessing the partition path as it doesn't provide access
to the encrypted data. Therefore existing functions which read and
write partition data (GParted file system copying and signature erasure)
via libparted using the device_path won't work and will in fact destroy
the encrypted data. This could be coded around with an extra case in
the device opening code, however it is not necessary.
An encrypted block special device /dev/mapper/CRYPTNAME looks just like
a whole disk device because it doesn't contain a partition and the file
system it contains starts at sector 0 and goes to the end. Therefore
model an encryption mapping in the same way a whole disk device is
modelled as a Partition object like this:
.encrypted.device_path = "/dev/mapper/sdb1_crypt"
.encrypted.path = "/dev/mapper/sdb1_crypt"
.encrypted.whole_device = true
.encrypted.sector_start = 0
.encrypted.sector_end = // size of the encryption mapping - 1
Now GParted file system copy and erasure will just work without any
change. Just need to additionally store the LUKS header size, which was
previous stored in the sector_start, for use in the
get_sectors_{used,unused,unallocated}() calculations.
Bug 775932 - Refactor mostly applying of operations
Split out the switch statement selecting the copy implementation and
associated copy file system operation detail message into a separate
copy_filesystem() method, matching how a number of other operations are
coded. This is why the previous copy_filesystem() methods needed
renaming.
Re-write the remaining copy() into if-operation-fails-return-false style
to simplify it. Re-write final complicated conditional check repair and
maximise file system into separate positive if conditions for swap and
larger partition to make it understandable.
The min_size parameter to copy() was queried from the partition_src
parameter also passed to copy(). Drop the parameter and query inside
copy() instead.
Bug 775932 - Refactor mostly applying of operations
Rename GParted_Core methods:
copy_filesystem(4 params) -> copy_filesystem_internal()
copy_filesystem(5 params) -> copy_filesystem_internal()
copy_filesystem(10 params) -> copy_blocks()
See the following commit for the desire to do this.
Bug 775932 - Refactor mostly applying of operations
Files were named Block_Copy and the class was named block_copy. Change
to the primary naming convention of CamelCase class name and matching
file names.
Also make CopyBlocks::copy_block() a private method as it is only used
internally within the class.
Bug 775932 - Refactor mostly applying of operations
These two methods had a lot of repeated and common code. Both determine
if the partition has any pending operations, notify the user that
changing the busy status can not be performed, and report any errors
when changing the status.
Extract the common code into sub-functions check_toggle_busy_allowed()
and show_toggle_failure_dialog() to handle showing the message dialogs.
Also refactor toggle_busy_state() to make it clear that it handles 5
cases of swapon, swapoff, activate VG, deactivate VG and unmount file
system.
Also remove out of date comment near the top of toggle_busy_state()
stating there can only be pending operations for inactive partitions is
out of date. Some file systems can be resized while online and
partition naming is allowed whatever the busy status of the file system.
Bug 775932 - Refactor mostly applying of operations
The primary reason to refactor unmount_partition() is to pass the
Partition object to be unmounted, rather than use member variable
selected_partition_ptr so that it doesn't have to handle the differences
between encrypted and non-encrypted Partition objects. The calling
function can deal with that instead. Then there were lots of small
reasons to change almost every other line too:
* Return success or failure rather than updating a passed pointer with
the result. Leftover from when the function used to be a separate
thread:
commit 52a2a9b00a
Reduce threading (#685740)
* Pass updated error string by reference rather than by pointer. Likely
another leftover.
* Stop borrowing the updated error string as a local variable for the
error output from the umount command. Use new umount_error local
variable instead. Was bad practice making the code harder to
understand.
* Rename failed_mountpoints to skipped_mountpoints to better reflect
that it contains the mount points not attempted to be unmounted
because two or more file systems are mounted at that point.
* Rename errors to umount_errors to better reflect it contains the
errors from each failed umount command.
* Document the reason for mount points being skipped.
* Update the skipped mount points message to state definitely why they
could not be unmounted rather than stating most likely.
* Simplify logic processing the error cases and return value.
* Made static because it no longer accesses any class members.
* Remove out dated "//threads.." comment from the header. Another
leftover from when the function use to be a separate thread.
Bug 775932 - Refactor mostly applying of operations
Reorder the parameters into the same order in which they occur in the
row, i.e. Name first, then Mount Point and finally Label. Rename local
variables in load_partitions(1 param) and parameters of
load_partitions(5 params) prefixing with "show_" to make it clearer the
variables track if that column will be displayed or not.
create_row() populates the values for each row to be displayed in the UI
from the relevant Partition object. However load_partitions(5 params)
independently decided if the Name, Mount Point and Label columns were
empty and should be displayed.
Getting the mount point value is more complex for encrypted file systems
because it has to call get_mountpoints() on the inner encrypted
Partition object. load_partitions(5 params) didn't account for this.
Fix by making create_row() both copy the values into each row and at the
same time check if they are empty to decide if they should be displayed
or not.
Bug 775475 - Mount Point column displayed for encrypted file systems
even when empty
If the GParted main window is closed before the initial device load
completed gpartedbin never exits. The main window closes but the
process sits there idle forever. Subsequently running GParted reports
this error:
# gparted
The process gpartedbin is already running.
Only one gpartedbin process is permitted.
If the user is running GParted from a desktop menu they will never see
this error so they will never know why GParted won't start any more.
More technically, it is if the main window is closed before the
Win_GParted::on_show() callback completes.
I assume the Gtk main loop doesn't setup the normal quit handling until
the on_show() callback finishes drawing the main window for the first
time. Following this hint [1], move the initial device load from the
on_show() callback to immediately after it completes by using a run once
idle callback setup in on_show().
This looks exactly the same to the user except now gpartedbin exits when
the main window is closed during the initial device load. Note that
GParted finished the device load before exiting. This is exactly the
same as happens when exiting during subsequent device refreshes.

"If you want to know when your main window appears the first time,
it is far easier (and saner) add a g_idle_add after your show_all
call."

This commit stopped setting the text colours in the Partition, File
System and Mount Point columns to avoid hard coding text colours making
them impossible to read when using GNOME's High Contrast Inverse theme:
ff2a6c00dd
Changes post gparted-0.3.6 - code recreation from Source Forge
* src/TreeView_Detail.cc: Removed text_color hard coding
- Removed hard coding of Partition and Filesystem text_color
which was based on if partition was TYPE_UNALLOCATED.
- Removed hard coding of Mount text_color which was based
on if partition was busy. Lock symbol provides this indicator.
- Closes GParted bug #413810 - Don't hardcode text colour in
partition list
Now remove the remaining vestiges left behind. Remove the unused color
text and mount_text_color columns from the tree model. Also remove
setting of the column attributes which set the colour of the text in the
tree view from those unused columns in the tree model.

more visual difference between partitions and unallocated space
The GParted_Core::mount_info and GParted_Core::fstab_info maps and the
methods that manipulate them are self-contained. Therefore move them to
a separate Mount_Info module and reduce the size of the monster
GParted_Core slightly.
The FS_Info module has a pseudo multi-object interface and used the
constructor to load the cache. However all the data in the class is
static. An FS_Info object doesn't contain any member variables, yet was
needed just to call the member functions.
Make all the member functions static removing the need to use any
FS_Info objects and provide an explicit load_cache() method.
The Proc_Partitions_Info has a pseudo multi-object interface and uses
the constructor to load the cache. However all the data in the class is
static. A Proc_Partitions_Info object doesn't contain any member
variables, yet was needed just to call the member functions.
Make all the member functions static removing the need to use any
Proc_Partitions_Info objects and provide and explicit load_cache()
method.
Vol_id has been retired and removed from all supported distributions.
See earlier commit "Remove use of retired vol_id from FS_Info module
(#767842)" for more details. Therefore remove it's use from GParted
entirely.
