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
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
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.
Closes#27 - GParted may report incorrect usage for SWRAID partitions
instead of unknown

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.
[1] gtkmm: Gtk::TreeModelColumnRecord Class Reference
https://developer.gnome.org/gtkmm/2.24/classGtk_1_1TreeModelColumnRecord.html#details
"Neither TreeModel::ColumnRecord nor the TreeModelColumns contain
any real data - they merely describe what C++ type is stored in
which column of a TreeModel, and save you from having to repeat that
type information in several places.
Thus TreeModel::ColumnRecord can be made a singleton (as long as you
make sure it's instantiated after Gtk::Main), even when creating
multiple models from it.

The shades of aquamarine, cyan and orange didn't fit with the GNOME
32-colour palette. Create a set of aquamarine, cyan and orange shades
which match the GNOME palette shades and update the colours of the
relevant file systems accordingly.
Aquamarine Hilight (#97DFC7) -
Aquamarine Medium (#70D2B1) - NTFS
Aquamarine Dark (#3EA281) - REFS
Aquamarine Shadow (#1F7258) -
Cyan Hilight (#95E3E5) - EXTENDED
Cyan Medium (#6FCECE) -
Cyan Dark (#3C9899) -
Cyan Shadow (#166F70) -
Orange Hilight (#E59F6A) -
Orange Medium (#E58749) - BTRFS
Orange Dark (#C26825) - ZFS
Orange Shadow (#984F18) -
Note that the hues of aquamarine and cyan are quite close and for the
thin outlines of partitions used in GParted they aren't easy to
distinguish. Hence also using different lightness to additionally
separate the colour for extended partitions from NTFS and ReFS file
systems.
Just add detection of APFS using GParted's internal magic string
detection. It just matches 1 byte of the 2 byte object type and the
4 byte magic field found in the super block [1]. See code comment for
more details.
Blkid has just gained recognition of APFS with util-linux v2.33 released
06-Nov-2018 [2].
This will write enough for GParted's simple internal detection to find
APFS:
# python -c '
import sys
sys.stdout.write("\0"*24 + "\1\0" + "\0"*6 + "NXSB")

Apple have a new file system, APFS (Apple File System), which is a
successor to HFS Plus [1][2]. With HFS Plus using a colour outside the

available for a new file system, create a new range of magenta colours
which fit with the GNOME palette and use them for the group of Apple

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/file_system/about_apple_file_system
"Overview
Apple File System replaces HFS Plus as the default file system for
iOS 10.3 and later, and for macOS High Sierra and later. Apple File
System offers improved file system fundamentals as well as several
new features, including cloning, snapshots, space sharing, fast
directory sizing, atomic safe-save, and sparse files.

"About Apple File System
Apple File System is the default file format used on Apple
platforms. Apple File System is the successor to HFS Plus, so some
aspects of its design intentionally follow HFS Plus to enable data
migration from HFS Plus to Apple File System. Other aspects of its
design address limitations with HFS Plus and enable features such as
cloning files, snapshots, encryption, and sharing free space between
volumes.

No other file system allows this, but btrfs allows simultaneous mounting
with different read-write permission. Further, btrfs allows resizing
via read-write mounts, but not via read-only mounts.

Also with the above order of the read-only mount listed in /proc/mounts
first and the read-write mount second, GParted again allows a resize
operational to be tried, but if fails just like before:
Grow /dev/sdb1 from 512.00 MiB to 1.0 GiB (ERROR)
* calibrate /dev/sdb1 (SUCCESS)
* grow partition from 512.00 MiB to 1.00 GiB (SUCCESS)
* grow filesystem to fill the partition (ERROR)
* btrfs filesystem resize 1:max '/mnt/1' (ERROR)
Resize '/mnt/1 to '1:max'
ERROR: unable to resize '/mnt/1': Read-only file system
What happened is that the Mount_Info module only stores single read-only
flag against the mounted block device, not for each mount point, and as
the first and second sdb1 lines from /proc/mounts were processed, the
MountEntry became:
1st) mount_info[BS("/dev/sdb1")] -> {true , ["/mnt/1"]
2nd) mount_info[BS("/dev/sdb1")] -> {false, ["/mnt/1", "/mnt/2"]
So GParted thought the file system was mounted read-write, but used the
first mount point, /mnt/1, which was mounted read-only.
This is a very unusual situation so unlikely to be encountered by users.
Fix simply and safely by treating the mounted block device as mounted
read-only if any of the mount points are mounted read-only, rather than
just the last processed mount point.
Closes#10 - Gparted fails to resize btrfs partition that is mounted
read-only
Resizing a file system mounted read-only fails. Example:
# mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb1
# mount -o ro /dev/sdb1 /mnt/1
In GParted try to resize partition sdb1. The operation fails like this:
Grow /dev/sdb1 from 512.00 MiB to 1.00 GiB (ERROR)
* calibrate /dev/sdb1 (SUCCESS)
* grow partition from 512.00 MiB to 1.00 GiB (SUCCESS)
* grow filesystem to fill the partition (ERROR)
* btrfs filesystem resize 1:max '/mnt/1' (ERROR)
Resize '/mnt/1' of '1:max'
ERROR: unable to resize '/mnt/1': Read-only file system
See GitLab issue for the testing results of attempting to online resize
all supporting file system while mounted read-only. No file system
allows online resizing while mounted read-only, except for reiserfs.
Issue #10 - Gparted fails to resize btrfs partition that is mounted
read-only
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gparted/issues/10
Fix by preventing online resizing of *all* file systems mounted
read-only, including reiserfs. Instead of displaying the resize dialog
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:
(!) Unable to resize read-only file system /dev/sdb1
The file system can not be resized while it is mounted read-only.
Either unmount the file system or remount it read-write.

Closes#10 - Gparted fails to resize btrfs partition that is mounted

Set the partition read-only mount flag at the same time as setting the
file system mount points.
Closes#10 - Gparted fails to resize btrfs partition that is mounted
read-only
Parse file system mount options string from file and mount command
output, extracting the setting for the read-only flag and storing in the
mount maps. Read-only flag for swap space gets the struct MountEntry
constructor default of false.
Closes#10 - Gparted fails to resize btrfs partition that is mounted
read-only
Just updates the 2 maps in the Mount_Info module so that they also have
a read-only flag for each mount. Ensure that when a struct MountEntry
is created the readonly bool POD (Plain Old Data) type is initialised by
the constructor. Nothing yet sets or uses the flag.

Fix it now.
The function was using std::map::count() [1] to test if the file system
entry existed in the map before looking up the value using
std::map::operator[] to avoid having operator[] inserting elements which
don't exist [2].
Rewrite using std::map::find() [3] so that map is only searched once,
and so that it is more obvious what is happening without having to know
the subtleties of std::map::count() and ::operator[].
[1] std::map::count()
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/map/map/count/
"Searches the container for elements with a key equivalent to k and
returns the number of matches.
Because all elements in a map container are unique, the function can
only return 1 (if the element is found) or zero (otherwise).
"
[2] std::map::operator[]
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/map/map/operator[]/
"If k does not match the key of any element in the container, the
function inserts a new element with that key and returns a reference
to its mapped value. Notice that this always increases the
container size by one, even if no mapped value is assigned to the
element (the element is constructed using its default constructor).

Copying and moving is now implemented for file systems in the basic
supported category. Also mounting and unmounting of unsupported file
system and reporting their usage while mounted has been added. This is
all the support that GParted has ever implemented for UFS. Therefore
re-assign UFS as a basic supported file system as it looses no
functionality.
