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
