Cache results from querying all LVM2 PVs in one go to minimise the
number of times lvm commands are executed. Take inspiration from
caching performed by FS_Info and Proc_Partitions_Info.
Bug #160787 - lvm support
This is the first step of adding support for just LVM2 Phyiscal Volumes,
a subset of full LVM2 support.
Make it clear that it is only LVM2 PVs being treated like a file system.
Bug #160787 - lvm 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
Bug #608308 - fix documentation - Copying and Pasting a Partition
There is a lot of commonality and code repetition for resizing of file
systems which can only be resized while mounted. Resizing of btrfs, jfs
and xfs all follow the pattern: mkdir, mount, resize, umount and rmdir.
Copying an xfs file system also uses a similar pattern, but for the
source and destination xfs file systems simultaneously.
Add three helper functions to the FileSystem class which implement
common tasks, allowing mounted file system resizing to be implemented
more simply.
Also add a function to the Utils class which checks whether the kernel
supports a file system. It handles the case of non-loaded modules,
which currently leads to reporting the growing of jfs and xfs as
unsupported.
Requires libparted 2.4 or higher, or blkid from utils-linux 2.20 or
higher for nilfs2 file system detection.
Requires nilfs-utils for nilfs2 file system support.
Closes Bug #642842 - nilfs is not detected
The release of (lib)parted 3.0 includes a change to the Application
Programing Interface - API. Most importantly, libparted 3.0 removes
many file system specific function calls, and hence the capabilities
provided by these functions. In order for GParted to compile and link
with libparted 3.0, this libparted functionality is lost.
Specifically, the functionality that is lost when GParted is compiled
and linked with libparted 3.0 is as follows:
- Loss of ability to grow and shrink FAT16 and FAT32 file systems
- Loss of ability to shrink HFS and HFS+ file systems
- Loss of ability to determine used and unused sectors in HFS and
HFS+ file systems
- Loss of ability to erase file system signatures on partition
create and format
It is hoped that other free software projects will include some or all
of the above lost functionality, which can then be added back to
GParted.
This commit includes a change in how FAT16 and FAT32 file systems are
moved. Specifically the move is now performed internally by GParted
when linked with libparted 3.0. The move functionality is provided by
libparted for prior libparted versions (e.g. less than 3.0).
This is the final enhancement in a series of commits that enable
GParted to compile with libparted version 3.0.
Closes Bug #651559 - Doesn't compile against parted 3.0
With the removal of the 512 byte constants, such as MEBIBYTE, it
was possible to rename the _FACTOR constants back to BYTE
constants. The _FACTOR constants, such as MEBI_FACTOR, were a
temporary measure to help in the transition to support devices
with sector sizes > 512 bytes.
Remove commented code and boolean use-C-lang parameter for
Utils::num_to_str() method because this bug was fixed in
gcc-4.0.3. The GNU gcc compiler versions 4 and up are now
commonly in use. Also due to previous partial commenting and
removal of the code, the code was non-functional
Thanks goes to Jan Claeys for pointing out this clean up
opportunity.
Restore copyright entries by original author to those of his last
known repository commit titled "released gparted-0.3.4 on
LarryT's request." on Feb 25, 2007.
Add my own copyright entries for files in which I changed source
code. Files in which I only made spelling changes do not have my
copyright entry added.
* added support for reading volumelabels. Atm we only read ext2/3, but
the infrastructure for adding the other filesystems is in place.
It's simply a matter of finding the right commands and parsing the
output. (see #338528 for more info)
* include/Utils.h,
src/Utils.cc: added format_time()
* include/OperationDetail.h,
src/OperationDetail.cc: keep track of elapsed time between
STATUS_EXECUTE and STATUS_[ERROR|SUCCES]
* include/Dialog_Progress.h,
src/Dialog_Progress.cc: show elapsed time in the details per (sub)
process
* src/GParted_Core.cc: use Utils::format_time()
* Use ped_device_read and ped_device_write instead of 'dd' to copy
filesystems.
Modified progressdetails to provide more detailed feedback about a
process.
Basicly these were all changes to the infrastructure to make the
incorporation of the 'move-code' a bit easier.
( sorry, not in the mood to list all affected files ;)
* include/DrawingAreaVisualDisk.h,
src/DrawingAreaVisualDisk.cc: fixed a few issues with
selecting/activating partitions.
* include/Utils.h,
src/Utils.cc,
src/Dialog_Disklabel.cc,
src/Dialog_Partition_Info.cc (mk_label): improved support for
aligment.
* src/Win_GParted.cc: fixed a small alignmentissue in the devices
submenu.
* in some places i still used MiB's instead of sectors to store sizes.
this has been fixed everywhere. Only the spinbuttons still use
MiB's. I have a few ideas on how to solve this, but i'll take it up
with #usability first.
* wrap mount/umount/swapon/swapoff instead of implementing it
ourselves (#330641)
* moved execute_command() to Utils and made the filesystems use it. All
in all this decreased the size of the binary with 10% and made stuff
more readable.
* implemented Utils::sector_to_unit() and use it in several places
* (finally) fixed errors with ntfsresizing (had a lot to do with
difference between MB and MiB)
* resizing of reiserfs now shows more detailed feedback
* support for TebiByte (TiB) unit
