When moving a MiB aligned primary partition from right to left, the
resulting partition was unexpectedly 1 MiB smaller in size.
From further testing, this occurred only if the move boundaries
overlapped the original partition boundaries.
In cases where the move did not overlap the original partition
boundaries, then the size remained the same.
Closes Bug #695078 - Move of MiB aligned partition right to left
yields unexpected shrink of 1 MiB

Many GNU/Linux distributions conveniently include these docbook
style sheets in a package. This package has been added to the
dependencies for building from source.
Also added and updated are commands related to installation on
OpenSUSE.
Add -I option to 'mkdosfs' command to work around faulty detection of
"complete disks" vs. "partitions".

Thanks to Kano for reporting this!

partitioning it.)

No longer need to trim fat16, fat32 and xfs labels as all labels are
limited to their maximum lengths during entry.
Bug #689318 - filesystem type specific support for partition name
maximum length
For a reiser4 file system with exactly the maximum size 16 character
label, debugfs.reiser4 may include junk at the end of the label it
prints. (It reads the label into a 16 character array and prints it as
a string, but there isn't a nul terminating character).
# mkfs.reiser4 --yes --label abcdefghij123456 /dev/sda13
# debugfs.reiser4 /dev/sda13 2> /dev/null | grep label:
label: abcdefghij123456!
Trim the read label to at most 16 characters.

Active Linux software RAID devices are detected in the
Proc_Partitions_Info method. Hence the SWRaid method is no longer
required.
Removal of the SWRaid method fixes the problem with the error message:
Could not stat device /dev/md/0 - No such file or directory
This fixes the problem because we no longer use "mdadm --examine
--scan" in an attempt to detect Linux software RAID devices. The
mdadm command was returning device names such as /dev/md/0, which are
incorrect for GParted.
NOTE: With this change, GParted no longer requires the mdadm command
to detect Linux software RAID devices.
Closes Bug #678379 - Could not stat device /dev/md/0 - No such file or
directory
Add regular expression to detect the device entry only (e.g., md127)
and not the partitions (e.g., md127p1).
Linux software RAID devices are listed in /proc/partitions as follows:
# cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name
9 127 523968 md127
259 0 131072 md127p1
259 1 262144 md127p2

HP Smart Array Devices are listed in /proc/partitions as follows:

104 2 24097 cciss/c0d0p2
104 3 143203410 cciss/c0d0p3
The previous regular expression was too broad, and would match many
other forms, including Linux software RAID devices such as md127.

This problem with the regexp was discovered while investigating a
problem with Linux software RAID device detection.
The regular expression has been tightened up to match the following
hardware RAID controllers:

In certain situations with a mixture of partition alignments, the MiB
alignment option would try to set the end of a logical partition
beyond the end of the extended partition. This, of course, is an
invalid partition geometry and the libparted library correctly reports
failure when this is attempted.
This enhancement to MiB alignment adds a check to see if the end of
the logical partition would be beyond the extended partition, and
adjusts the end of the logical partition if required.
Closes Bug #686668 - Growing logical partition overlaps end of
extended partition
Prior to this enhancement, GParted ignored the status of the partition
grow operation, and attempted to grow the file system.
Now we check the status of the partition grow operation prior to
growing the file system.
Part of Bug #686668 - Growing logical partition overlaps end of
extended partition
A reiser4 file system with a blank label is displayed as "<none>" by
debugfs.reiser4 and therefore GParted too.
# mkfs.reiser4 -y -L "" -f /dev/sda14
# debugfs.reiser4 /dev/sda14 2> /dev/null | grep label:
label: <none>
Additionally when displaying the Partition Information the following
warning is written to the terminal:
(gpartedbin:19609): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set text from markup
due to error parsing markup: Error on line 1 char 23: Element
'markup' was closed, but the currently open element is 'none'
Fix by just assuming "<none>" always means blank. If someone really
does set the label to "<none>" it won't be displayed. This is equlivant
to how btrfs and nilfs2 are already handled.
Closes bug 688760 - GParted displays blank resier4 label as <none>
If gksu was installed on a KDE system (tested with kubuntu 12.04 LTS),
then gksu would prompt for the password three times and always fail to
load gparted. In a prior version of kubuntu 8.04 LTS, gksu would
properly invoke gparted from the "K --> System --> GParted" menu
entry.
Since gksudo also works on KDE (and kubuntu 12.04 LTS), add gksudo to
the root privilege invocation search list ahead of gksu.
Note that gksu has been kept for backwards compatibility with systems
that provide only gksu and not gksudo.
Related to Bug #687813 - Use kdesudo on KDE, as gksu is not
installed by default
Normally gksu is not installed by default on KDE systems. When
compiling and installing gparted on a KDE system without gksu, the
desktop menu entry would try to run gparted as the user, and not with
root privileges.
To fix this, add kdesudo to the search list of root privilege
invocation programs.
Closes Bug #687813 - Use kdesudo on KDE, as gksu is not installed by
default
1) lp_disk is not used and assigned NULL so doesn't need closing.
2) lp_device is already ped_device_open()ed and ped_device_close()d
within the above while loop. lp_device will be set to NULL when the
while loop ends so this doesn't need closing either. Hence
close_device_and_disk() is always passed with two NULL pointers and is a
no operation so can be removed.
They were used like global variables. Now they are moved to the
functions that actually use them to make clearer how the data flow is.
Bug #683149 - Cleanup(?): Remove lp_device and lp_disk from GParted_Core
Use swaplabel to read the Linux swap label so that 1) a blank label can
be read, and 2) to replace deprecated and removed vol_id.
Vol_id was deprecated in May 2009, superseded by blkid and soon
thereafter removed. Swaplabel is available in util-linux 2.18 from Jun
2010.
If the swaplabel command is not available GParted falls back on reading
the label through the FS_Info cache which uses the blkid command. If
the blkid command is also not available FS_Info cache will *NOT* return
any label and GParted will display blank.
Bug 685656 - GParted doesn't notice when file system label is changed to
blank
GParted doesn't notice when a file system label is changed to blank.
GParted first calls the file system specific read_label() method. When
the label is blank read_label() correctly sets partition.label to the
zero length string. Second GParted_Core::set_device_partitions() treats
the zero length string to mean that the label is unset and calls
FS_Info::get_label() to retrieve it from the cache of blkid output.
Blkid also doesn't notice when the file system label has been changed to
blank so reports the previous label. Hence GParted displays the
previous file system label.
Fix by making label a private member variable of the class Partition and
providing access methods set_label(), get_label() and label_known()
which track whether the label has been set or not. This only fixes the
fault for file systems which use file system specific commands to read
the label and when these tools are installed. Otherwise GParted uses,
or has to fall back on using, the buggy blkid command to read the file
system label.
NOTE:
Many of the file system specific read_label() methods use a tool which
outputs more than just the label and use Utils::regexp_label() to match
leading text and the label itself. If the surrounding text changes or
disappears altogether to indicated a blank label, regexp_label() doesn't
match anything and returns the zero length string. This is exactly
what is required and is passed to set_label() to set the label to blank.
