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().
Bug 787204 - Minimum and maximum size of the UDF partition/disk
Those external tools were introduced in version 2.0 of udftools package
and can show or change UDF label, UDF uuid and can provide information
needed for counting total/free sectors.

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)

Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:

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 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

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.

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
[3] is available to provide this functionality and used. Therefore

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. ...
Bug 774818 - Implement LUKS read-write actions NOT requiring a
passphrase
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:
08245cd08c
cleanups in the core and the fs'es (resize)
2d7fb5700b
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
+ clear old file system signatures in /dev/sdb2
+ create new linux-swap file system
+ mkswap -L"" -U "77d939ef-54d6-427a-a2bf-a053da7eed4c" /dev/sdb2

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()
Bug 775932 - Refactor mostly applying of operations
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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
GParted is already reading /proc/partitions to get whole disk device
names. The file also contains the major, minor device number of every
partition. Use this information to pre-populate the cache in the
BlockSpecial class.
# cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name
8 0 20971520 sda
8 1 512000 sda1
8 2 20458496 sda2
...
9 3 1047552 md3
259 2 262144 md3p1
259 3 262144 md3p2
...
253 0 18317312 dm-0
253 1 2097152 dm-1
253 2 8383872 dm-2
253 3 1048576 dm-3
Note that for Device-Mapper names (dm-*) the kernel is not using the
canonical user space names (mapper/*). There is no harm in
pre-populating the cache with these names and will help if tools report
them too. It is just that for DMRaid, LVM and LUKS, GParted uses the
canonical /dev/mapper/* names so will still have to call stat() once for
each such name.
For plain disks (sd*) and Linux Software RAID arrays (md*) the kernel
name is the common user space name too, therefore matches what GParted
uses and pre-populating does avoid calling stat() at all for these
names.
Bug 767842 - File system usage missing when tools report alternate block
device names
Creation of every BlockSpecial object used to result in a stat() OS
call. On one of my test VMs debugging with 4 disks and a few partitions
on each, GParted refresh generated 541 calls to stat() in the
BlockSpecial(name) constructor. However there were only 45 unique
names. So on average each name was stat()ed approximately 12 times.
Cache the major, minor number associated with each name after starting
with a cleared cache for each GParted refresh. This reduces these
direct calls to stat() to just the 45 unique names.
Bug 767842 - File system usage missing when tools report alternate block
device names
The FS_Info cache is loaded from "blkid" output and compares block
special names. Therefore switch to using BlockSpecial objects so that
comparisons are performed by the major, minor device number instead.
Bug 767842 - File system usage missing when tools report alternate block
device names
FS_Info module caches the output from blkid as a single string and uses
regular expressions to find the line matching the requested block
special file name. This is not compatible with using BlockSpecial
objects to represent block special files, and perform matching by major,
minor device number. Therefore parse the blkid output into a vector of
structures containing the needed fields, ready for switching to
BlockSpecial objects in the following patch.
Interface to the module remains unchanged.
Bug 767842 - File system usage missing when tools report alternate block
device names
Vol_id was removed from udev 142, released 2009-05-13, and udev switched
to using blkid instead [1]. All currently supported distributions use
later versions of udev (or systemd after the udev merge), except for
RedHat / CentOS 5 with udev 095. However RedHat / CentOS 5 does provide
blkid and vol_id is found in udev specific /lib/udev directory not on
the PATH. Therefore effectively vol_id is not available on any
supported distribution and blkid is always available. Therefore remove
use of vol_id from the FS_Info module. Less code to refactor and test
in following changes.

The SWRaid_Info cache is loaded from "mdadm" command output and
/proc/mdstat file. It contains the member name which is used to access
the cache, therefore switch to using BlockSpecial objects so that
comparison is performed using the major, minor device number.
Bug 767842 - File system usage missing when tools report alternate block

The LUKS_Info module cache is loaded from "dmsetup" command and compares
block special files, therefore switch to using BlockSpecial objects so
that comparisons are performed by major, minor device number.
Bug 767842 - File system usage missing when tools report alternate block
device names
Small optimisation which avoids constructing an extra BlockSpecial
object when determining if a btrfs member is mounted. Rather than
extracting the name from the BlockSpecial object in
btrfs::get_mount_device() and re-constructing another BlockSpecial
object from that name in GParted_Core::is_dev_mounted(), pass the
BlockSpecial object directly.
Bug 767842 - File system usage missing when tools report alternate block
device names
There are no known errors which affect the remaining caches in GParted.
However those caches which compare block special devices will be changed
to use BlockSpecial objects so comparison is by major, minor device
number rather than by name.
Change btrfs member cache loaded from "btrfs filesystem show" output to
use BlockSpecial objects.
Bug 767842 - File system usage missing when tools report alternate block
device names
On some distributions having btrfs on top of LUKS encrypted partitions,
adding a second device and removing the first device used to mount the
file system causes GParted to no longer be able to report the file
system as busy or the mount points themselves.
For example, on CentOS 7, create a single btrfs file system and mount
it. The provided /dev/mapper/sdb1_crypt name is reported, via
/proc/mounts, as the mounting device:
# cryptsetup luksFormat --force-password /dev/sdb1
# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb1 sdb1_crypt
# mkfs.btrfs -L encrypted-btrfs /dev/mapper/sdb1_crypt
# mount /dev/mapper/sdb1_crypt /mnt/1
# ls -l /dev/mapper

# fgrep btrfs /proc/mounts
/dev/mapper/sdb1_crypt /mnt/1 btrfs rw,seclabel,relatime,space_cache 0 0
Add a second device to the btrfs file system:
# cryptsetup luksFormat --force-password /dev/sdb2
# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb2 sdb2_crypt
# btrfs device add /dev/mapper/sdb2_crypt /mnt/1
# ls -l /dev/mapper
...

Remove the first mounting device from the btrfs file system. Now the
non-canonical name /dev/dm-3 is reported, via /proc/mounts, as the
mounting device:
# btrfs device delete /dev/mapper/sdb1_crypt /mnt/1
# btrfs filesystem show /dev/mapper/sdb2_crypt

GParted loads the mount_info mapping from /proc/mounts and with it the
/dev/dm-3 name. When GParted is determining if the encrypted btrfs file
system is mounted or getting the mount points it is using the
/dev/mapper/sdb2_crypt name. Therefore no information is found and the
file system is incorrectly reported as unmounted.
Fix by changing mount_info and fstab_info to use BlockSpecial objects
instead of strings so that matching is performed by major, minor device
numbers rather than by string compare. Note that as BlockSpecial
objects are used as the key of std::map [1] mappings operator<() [2]
needs to be provided to order the key values.

Bug 767842 - File system usage missing when tools report alternate block
device names
In some cases creating an LVM2 Physical Volume on top of a DMRaid array
reports no usage information and this partition warning:
Unable to read the contents of this file system!
Because of this some operations may be unavailable.
The cause might be a missing software package.
The following list of software packages is required for lvm2
pv file system support: lvm2.
For example on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (with GParted built with
--enable-libparted-dmraid) create an LVM2 PV in a DMRaid array
partition. GParted uses this command:
# lvm pvcreate -M 2 /dev/mapper/isw_bacdehijbd_MyArray0p2
But LVM reports the PV having a different name:
# lvm pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-isw_bacdehijbd_MyArray0p2 lvm2 a-- 1.00g 1.00g
This alternate name is loaded into the LVM2_PV_Info module cache. Hence
when GParted queries partition /dev/mapper/isw_bacdehijbd_MyArray0p2 it
has no PV information against that name and reports unknown usage.
However they are actually the same block special device; major 252,
minor 2:
# ls -l /dev/mapper/isw_bacdehijbd_MyArray0p2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 252, 2 Jul 2 11:09 /dev/mapper/isw_bacdehijbd_MyArray0p2
# ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-isw_bacdehijbd_MyArray0p2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jul 2 11:09 /dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-isw_bacdehijbd_MyArray0p2 -> ../../dm-2
# ls -l /dev/dm-2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 252, 2 Jul 2 11:09 /dev/dm-2
To determine if two names refer to the same block special device their
major, minor numbers need to be compared, instead of string comparing
their names.
Implement class BlockSpecial which encapsulates the name and major,
minor numbers for a block special device. Also performs comparison as
needed. See bug 767842 comments 4 and 5 for further investigation and
decision for choosing to implement a class.
Replace name strings in the LVM2_PV_Info module with BlockSpecial
objects performing correct block special device comparison.

Bug 767842 - File system usage missing when tools report alternate block
device names
Background
GParted stored a list of paths for Device and Partition objects. It
sorted this list [1][2] and treated the first specially as that is what
get_path() returned and was used almost everywhere; with the file system
specific tools, looked up in various *_Info caches, etc.
[1] Device::add_path(), ::add_paths()
[2] Partition::add_path(), ::add_paths()
Mount point display [3] was the only bit of GParted which really worked
with the path list. Busy file system detection [4] just used the path
provided by libparted, or for LUKS /dev/mapper/* names. It checked that
single path against the mounted file systems found from /proc/mounts,
expanded with additional block device names when symlinks were
encountered.
[3] GParted_Core::set_mountpoints() -> set_mountpoints_helper()
[4] GParted_Core::set_device_partitions() -> is_busy()
GParted_Core::set_device_one_partition() -> is_busy()
GParted_Core::set_luks_partition() -> is_busy()
Having the first path, by sort order, treated specially by being used
everywhere and virtually ignoring the others was wrong, complicated to
remember and difficult code with. As all the additional paths were
virtually unused and made no difference, remove them. The "improved
detection of mountpoins, free space, etc.." benefit from commit [5]
doesn't seem to exist. Therefore simplify to a single path for Device
and Partition objects.
[5] commit 6d8b169e73
changed the way devices and partitions store their device paths.
Instead of holding a 'realpath' and a symbolic path we store paths
in a list. This allows for improved detection of mountpoins, free
space, etc..
This patch
Simplify the Device object from a vector of paths to a single path.
Remove add_paths() and get_paths() methods. Keep add_path() and
get_path() for now.

When Win_GParted::activate_delete() was stepping through the operation
list removing operations (2 & 3 in the above recreation steps) which
related to the new partition never to be created it called
get_partition_new() on all operations in the list. This included
calling get_partition_new() on the check operation (1 in the above
recreation steps). As partition_new was not set or used by the check
operation get_partition_new() asserted false and crashed GParted.
Fix by populating the partition_new member in OperationCheck objects,
thus allowing get_partition_new() to be called on the object. As a
check operation doesn't change any partition boundaries or file system
attributes, just duplicate the new partition from the original
partition.

The previous commit (Fix crash reading NTFS usage when there is no

is too small on 64-bit machines. Also this member variable stores no
FileSystem class information and was being used as a local variable.
Replace with local variables of the of the correct type, wide enough to
store the npos not found value.
Bug 764658 - GParted crashes when reading NTFS usage when there is no

As part of the internal block copy operation 5 initial ranges of blocks
are copied using different block sizes to determine the fastest. Then
the remainder is copied using the fastest block size. Each of these
copies reports progress independently, so during the benchmarking phase
the progress bar flashes 5 times as it goes from 0 to 100% in a fraction
of a second, before showing the progress of the remainder.
This looks bad, so report a single progress bar for all the ranges of
blocks copied in a single copy operation.
Already have variables done and length which track progress within each
copied range; and total_done which records amount copied in previous
ranges. Just add total_length to allow overall progress to be reported.

Bug 762366 - Add progress bar to NTFS file system specific copy method
The timed progress tracking callback for execution of xfs copy follows
this pattern:
sigc::connection c;
...
c = Glib::signal_timeout().connect( ... sigc::mem_fun( *this, &xfs::copy_progress ) ..., 500 /*ms*/ );
... execute_command( ... );
c.disconnect();
As with output progress tracking callbacks for ext2/3/4 and ntfs file
system specific commands, pass the callback slot and a flag into
execute_command() and connect the timed callback inside. This
simplified the pattern to:
... execute_command( ...|EXEC_PROGRESS_TIMED,
static_cast<TimedSlot>( sigc::mem_fun( *this, &xfs::copy_progress ) ) );
NOTE:
The type of sigc::mem_fun() doesn't allow the compiler to choose between
the two overloaded variants of execute_command() with the fourth
parameter of either (full types without typedefs of StreamSlot and
TimedSlot respectively):
sigc::slot<void, OperationDetail *> stream_progress_slot
sigc::slot<bool, OperationDetail *> timed_progress_slot
Therefore have to cast the result of all callback slots to the relevant
type. Hence:
static_cast<StreamSlot>( sigc::mem_fun( *this, &{CLASS}::{NAME}_progress ) )
static_cast<TimedSlot>( sigc::mem_fun( *this, &xfs::copy_progress ) )

Bug 760709 - Add progress bars to XFS and EXT2/3/4 file system specific
copy methods
For the relevant stream from a file system specific command being
tracked, there were 2 callbacks attached: update_command_output() and
update_command_progress(). When called, update_command_progress() just
emitted signal_progress to call the file system specific progress
tracker callback. Like this:
signal_update.emit() -> update_command_output()
-> update_command_progress()
signal_progress.emit() -> {CLASS}::{NAME}_progress()
Instead just connect the file system specific progress tracker callback
directly to signal_update and bypass the unnecessary
update_command_progress() method and the signal_progress signal. Like
this:
signal_update.emit() -> update_command_output()
-> {CLASS}::{NAME}_progress()
Bug 760709 - Add progress bars to XFS and EXT2/3/4 file system specific
copy methods
All the output progress tracking callbacks for execution of ext2/3/4 and
ntfs file system specific commands followed this pattern:
sigc::connection c = signal_progress.connect( sigc::mem_fun( *this, &ext2::..._progress ) );
bool success = ! execute_command( ... );
c.disconnect();
return success;
Instead, pass the callback slot and a flag into execute_command() and
connect the callback inside. This simplifies the pattern to:
return ! execute_command( ...|EXEC_PROGRESS_STDOUT,
sigc::mem_fun( *this, &ext2::..._progress ) );
Note that as the progress tracking callbacks are only registered against
updates to the relevant stream from the tracked commands they won't be
called when the other stream is updated any more.
Also note that signal_progress is a member of the FileSystem class and
derived objects so lives as long as GParted is running, therefore the
progress tracking callbacks need explicitly disconnecting at the end of
execute_command(). However signal_update is a member of the PipeCapture
class of which the output and error local variables in execute_command()
are types. Therefore there is no need to explicitly disconnect the
signal_update callbacks as they will be destructed along with the
callback slots when they go out of scope at the end of the
execute_command() method.
Bug 760709 - Add progress bars to XFS and EXT2/3/4 file system specific
copy methods
Remove unused members: fraction and progress_text from the
OperationDetail class now that the ProgressBar class has superseded
their use. This also allows removal of timer_global member from the
copy_blocks class. Timer_global was only used to track the elapsed time
copying blocks and allow the remaining time to be estimated and written
into progress_text. The ProgressBar class also does this itself
internally.
Bug 760709 - Add progress bars to XFS and EXT2/3/4 file system specific
copy methods
Most of the file system specific command progress trackers followed this
pattern:
void {CLASS}::{NAME}_progress( OperationDetail *operationdetail )
{
ProgressBar & progressbar = operationdetail->get_progressbar();
// parse output for progress and target values
if ( // have progress and target values )
{
if ( ! progressbar.running() )
progressbar.start( target );
progressbar.update( progress );
operationdetail->signal_update( *operationdetail );
}
else if ( // found progress finished )
{
if ( progressbar.running() )
progressbar.stop();
operationdetail->signal_update( *operationdetail );
}
}
That is a lot of repetition handling progress bar updates and
OperationDetail object update signalling. Remove the need for direct
access to the single ProgressBar object and provide these two
OperationDetail methods instead:
// Start and update in one
run_progressbar( progress, target, optional text_mode );
stop_progressbar();
Now the file system specific command progress trackers can become:
void {CLASS}::{NAME}_progress( OperationDetail *operationdetail )
{
// parse output for progress and target values
if ( // have progress and target values )
{
operationdetail->run_progressbar( progress, target );
}
else if ( // found progress finished )
{
operationdetail->stop_progressbar();
}
}
Make ProgressBar::get_progressbar() a private method to enforce use of
the new way to access the progress bar via the run_progress() and
stop_progressbar() methods. Then make the Dialog_Progress a friend
class to OperationDetail so that the Apply pending operations dialog can
still access the single ProgressBar object for its querying needs.

these two previous commits:

Bug 760709 - Add progress bars to XFS and EXT2/3/4 file system specific
copy methods
XFS uses a file system specific method to copy the partition using
"xfsdump | xfsrestore". Monitor progress by periodically querying the
destination file system usage and comparing to the source file system
usage. Use 0.5 seconds as the polling interval to match that used by
the internal block copying algorithm.
NOTE:
The number of used blocks in the source and destination file system will
be very close but may not match exactly. I have seen an XFS copy finish
with the following progress text:
1.54 GiB of 1.50 GiB copied (-00:00:02 remaining)
Allow the progress bar to overrun like this as it is informing the user
that it actually copied a little more data and took a little longer than
expected. Needs these two previous commits to correctly round and
format the negative time remaining:

Bug 760709 - Add progress bars to XFS and EXT2/3/4 file system specific
copy methods
1) Multiple progress bars
The OperationDetail class contains member fraction which is used to feed
data to the current operation progress bar shown in the Applying pending
operations dialog. Dialog_Progress::on_signal_update() gets called for
every updated OperationDetail object and depending on whether fraction
is > 0.0 or not, switches between showing a growing or pulsing progress
bar. This leads to the conclusion that every OperationDetail object
currently being updated is effectively driving the single on screen
progress bar with different data.
The Copy_Blocks code is careful to update text and faction in a single
OperationDetail object and everything is good. The on screen progress
bar is switched into growing mode and then grows to 100%.
Since external command output is updated in real time [1] there are two
OperationDetail objects, one for stdout and one for stderr, which are
updated whenever data is read from the relevant stream. Also now that
progress is interpreted from some external command output [2][3][4] a
separate OperationDetail object is getting updated with the progress
fraction. (Actually the grandparent OperationDetail of the ones
receiving stdout and stderr updates as used by the file system specific
*_progress() methods). In the normal case of an external command
which is reporting it's progress two OperationDetails are constantly
being updated together, the OperationDetail object tracking stdout and
it's grandparent receiving progress fraction updates. This causes the
the code in Dialog_Progress::on_signal_update() to constantly switch
between growing and pulsing progress bar mode. The only reason this
doesn't flash the progress bar is because the stdout OperationDetail
object is updated first and before the 100 ms timeout fires to pulse the
bar, it's grandparent is updated with the new fraction to keep growing
the bar instead.
2) Common code
The Copy_Blocks code currently tracks the progress of blocks copied
against target amount, which it has to do anyway. That information is
then used to generate the text and fraction to update into the
OperationDetail object and drive the on screen progress bar. This same
level of tracking is wanted for the XFS and ext2/3/4 file system
specific copy methods.
Conclusion and solution
Having multiple sources of progress bar data is a problem and makes it
clear that there must be only one source of progress data. Also some
code can be shared for tracking the amount of blocks copied and
generating the display.
Therefore have a single ProgressBar object which is used everywhere.
This commit
It just creates a single ProgressBar object which is available via all
OperationDetail objects and Copy_Blocks is updated accordingly. Note
that the ProgressBar still contains debugging and that the GUI progress
bar of the current operation is still driven via the fraction member in
any OperationDetail object.

Display progress during resize (#467925)
Bug 760709 - Add progress bars to XFS and EXT2/3/4 file system specific
copy methods
Write a generic progress bar class. Has the following features:
* Has separate progress and target numbers, rather than a single
completion fraction, to enable the the next feature.
* Optionally generates text reporting the amount of data copied using
the progress and target numbers like this:
"1.00 MiB of 16.00 MiB copied"
* After running for 5 seconds, also add estimated remaining time.
(Waits to allow the data copying rate to settle down a little before
estimating the remaining time). Looks like this:
"1.00 MiB of 16.00 MiB copied (00:01:59) remaining)"
The ProgressBar class is not driving the visual progress bar yet. It
has just been added into the internal block copy algorithm and generates
debug messages showing the progress bar is operating correctly.
Debugging looks like this:
DEBUG: ProgressBar::start(target=2.0636e+09, text_mode=PROGRESSBAR_TEXT_COPY_BYTES)

Bug 760709 - Add progress bars to XFS and EXT2/3/4 file system specific
copy methods
At the moment any messages for an encrypted file system aren't shown,
only messages from the outer PartitionLUKS object are shown. Also in
Win_GParted::activate_paste() the selected Partition object, possibly
a derived PartitionLUKS, is cloned and the messages cleared.
Therefore a set of accessor methods must be provided to query and modify
partition messages. Messages will be stored in the Partition object to
which they are added and retrieved from all. So in the case of a
derived PartitionLUKS they will be retrieved from the messages vector of
the PartitionLUKS object itself and the messages vector for the
encrypted file system it contains.
To replace code like this in GParted_Core:
partition_temp->messages = messages;
We might naturally provide a set_messages() method which assigns the
messages vector and is used like this:
partition_temp->set_messages( messages );
However on a PartitionLUKS object what should set_messages() do? By the
name it will replace any existing messages in the PartitionLUKS object
itself, but what should happen to the messages for the contained
encrypted Partition object? Should they be cleared or left alone?
Rather than implement set_messages() with unclear semantics implement
append_messages(), which in the PartitionLUKS object case will clearly
leave any messages for the contained encrypted Partition object alone.
Append_messages() is then used to add messages as the Partition or
PartitionLUKS objects when populating the data in GParted_Core.
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
For LUKS formatted partitions add an encryption section into the
Information dialog and display the type of encryption, path, UUID and
status of the encryption.
The file system section continues to display appropriate file system
details, including the partition graphic with the file system specific
border colour and correct usage. The details will either be of a plain
file system, an encrypted file system, or nothing when there is no open
dm-crypt mapping, leaving the encrypted file system inaccessible.
Should there be LUKS encryption directly within LUKS encryption then the
details of the inner encryption will be displayed in the file system
section. However this configuration will not be further supported by
GParted.
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
There is already the set of methods in the Partition class to report the
file system usage. Virtualise them and provide PartitionLUKS specific
implementations to calculate the usage of a file system wrapped in LUKS
encryption.
See the ascii art and comment in PartitionLUKS.cc for the details of
those calculations.
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
LUKS headers don't provide any concept of label. Also there is already
the method Partition::get_filesystem_label() for getting the *file
system* label, so virtualise it and provide an appropriate
implementation to get the label of an encrypted file system represented
within a derived PartitionLUKS object. This causes the label to be
displayed correctly in the main window.
It also happens to display the encrypted file system label in the
Information dialog for a LUKS formatted partition. However the whole
Information dialog will be addressed differently in a following commit.
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
In the File System column in the GUI, when there is an open dm-crypt
mapping, display the colour square for the encrypted file system within
and the text as "[Encrypted] FSTYPE". For closed mappings nothing can
be known about the encrypted file system within so continue to display a
purple square and the text "[Encrypted]".
Looks like:
Partition | File System
...
/dev/sdb3 # ext4
v /dev/sdb4 * # extended
/dev/sdb5 # [Encrypted]
/dev/sdb6 * # [Encrypted] unknown
/dev/sdb7 * # [Encrypted] ext4
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
Partition object represents a region of a disk and the file system
within. GParted always displays the colour base of the type of the file
system. Therefore remove the color member and always look it up from
the type of the file system as needed.
This makes one less member that will need virtual accessor methods with
different handling in the derived PartitionLUKS class.
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
When there exists an open dm-crypt mapping, populate the encrypted
Partition object representing the encrypted file system.
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
Absolute minimum implementation of a PartitionLUKS class which can be
constructed, polymorphically copied and destroyed. Contains an
"encrypted" member of type Partition to represent the encrypted file
system within the LUKS format.
Create PartitionLUKS objects instead of base Partition objects when a
LUKS formatted partition is found. Only the base Partition object
member values have been populated, and the "encrypted" member remains
blank at this point.
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
This is the equivalent change as made to set_mountpoints() in an earlier
commit. Change GParted_Core::set_used_sectors() from being called with
a vector of partitions and processing them all to being called per
partition. This is in preparation for calling set_used_sectors() on a
single Partition object inside a PartitionLUKS object.
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
Previously GParted_Core::set_mountpoints() was called with a vector of
partitions and processed them all. Now make set_mountpoints() process a
single partition and push the calls to it down one level from
set_devices_thread() into set_device_partitions() and
set_device_one_partition(). This is in preparation for having an
encrypted file system represented as a Partition object inside a
PartitionLUKS object and needing to call set_mountpoints() for the inner
single Partition object.
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
Only load the LUKS_Info cache of active dm-crypt mappings when the first
LUKS partition is encountered. Not needed from a performance point of
view as the longest that I have ever seen "dmsetup table --target crypt"
take to run is 0.05 seconds. Just means that the dmsetup command is
only run when there are LUKS partitions and the information is needed.
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
Populate the used, unused and unallocated figures in the Partition
object for a LUKS formatted partition. See comment in
luks::set_used_sectors() for the rational of what is used, unused and
unallocated.
As that rational mentions, a LUKS header does not store the size of the
encrypted data and is assumed to extend to the end of the partition by
the tools which start the mapping.

Also load the starting offset and length of the active dm-crypt mapping
into the LUKS_Info module from the dmsetup output. This provides the
location and size of the encrypted data within the underlying block
device.
Note that dmsetup reports in units of 512 bytes sectors [1], the GParted
LUKS_Info module uses bytes and GParted Partition objects work in device
sector size units. However the actual sector size of a dm-crypt mapping
[2] is the same as that of the underlying block device [3].

[1] Both cryptsetup and dmsetup report the offset as 4096 and the size/
length as 258048. 128 MiB / (4096+258048) = 512 byte units, even on a
4096 byte sector size device.
Update debugging of LUKS to this:

Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
Provide a minimal implementation of a luks file system class which only
does busy detection.
NOTE:
For now, read-only LUKS support, a LUKS partition will be busy when a
dm-crypt mapping exists. Later when read-write LUKS support is added
GParted will need to look at the busy status of the encrypted file
system within the open LUKS partition and map LUKS partition busy status
to encryption being open or closed.
Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
Load basic details of active Device-mapper encryption mappings from the
kernel. Use dmsetup active targets.
# cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sdb5

So far just load the mapping name and underlying block device reference
(path or major, minor pair).
Note that all supported kernels appear to report the underlying block
device as major, minor pair in the dmsetup output. Underlying block
device paths are added to the cache when found during a search to avoid
stat(2) call on subsequent searches for the same path.

Renamed from DEV_MAP_PATH to DEV_MAPPER_PATH. Moved so that the
constant is logically intended for use outside of the DMRaid class.
Also specifically make the string constant have external linkage, rather
than the default internal (static) linkage for constants, so that there
is only one copy of the variable in the program, rather than one copy in
each compilation unit which included DMRaid.h. Namely DMRaid.cc and
GParted_Core.cc.

The Partition(path) constructor is no longer used. Remove.
When a base class destructor is virtual, derived class destructors are
also virtual [1] even if they don't have the virtual qualifier.
As the Operation destructor is virtual, derived Operation* classes
destructors are virtual too. Add virtual qualifier just to reflect what
the C++ language mandates the compiler implement.
[1] Derived class with non-virtual destructor
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7403883/derived-class-with-non-virtual-destructor
The sector_size parameter is unnecessary as the value can be retrieved
from the sector size of the selected Partition object on which the
create new, copy & paste or resize/move operation is being performed.
For the create new and resize/move operations it is trivial as the
existing unallocated or in use Partition object on which the operation
is being perform already contains the correct sector size. For the copy
& paste operation, which can copy across disk devices of different
sector sizes, we merely have to use the sector size of the existing
selected (destination) Partition object rather than copied (source)
Partition object. Hence these relevant lines in the new code:
Dialog_Partition_Copy::set_data(selected_partition, copied_partition)
new_partition = copied_partition.clone();
...
new_partition->sector_size = selected_partition.sector_size;
The struct FS constructor initialised every member *except* filesystem
and busy. Then in *most* cases after declaring struct FS, assignments
followed like this:
FS fs;
fs.filesystem = FS_BTRFS;
fs.busy = FS::GPARTED;
But member busy wasn't always initialised.
Add initialisation of members filesystem and busy to the struct FS
constructor. Specify optional parameter to the constructor to set the
filesystem member, or when left off filesystem is initialised to
FS_UNKNOWN.
Final step for full polymorphic handling of Partition objects is to
implement a virtual copy constructor. C++ doesn't directly support
virtual copy constructors, so instead use the virtual copy constructor
idiom [1]. (Just a virtual method called clone() which is implemented
in every polymorphic class and creates a clone of the current object and
returns a pointer to it).
Then replace all calls to the (monomorphic) Partition object copy
constructor throughout the code, except in the clone() implementation
itself, with calls to the new virtual clone() method "virtual copy
constructor".
Also have to make the Partition destructor virtual too [2][3] so that
the derived class destructor is called when deleting using a base class
pointer. C++ supports this directly.

Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
SQUASH: When first using pointers to Partition and calling delete
Copy assignment of Partition objects is now only performed in a few
places in the Operation and OperationResizeMove classes when updating
the displayed PartitionVector. (From Refresh_Visual() when each
operation is visually applied to the display_partitions vector; the
new_partition from the operation is copy assigned over the top of the
relevant existing partition in the display_partitions vector).
In general polymorphic copy assignment is complicated [1], and is now
unnecessary given the above limited use. All that is needed is a way to
polymorphically replace one Partition object with another in a
PartitionVector.
First, prevent further use of Partition object copy assignment by
providing a private declaration and no implementation, so the compiler
enforces this. Second implement and use PartitionVector method
replace_at() which replaces a pointer to one Partition object with
another at the specified index in the PartitionVector.

Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
Now use a pointer to the Partition object in Dialog_Base_Partition class
and derived classes, Dialog_Partition_{Copy,New,Resize_Move}. This is
equivalent to how the Partition objects are managed in the Operation and
derived classes.
The Partition object is allocated and copy constructed in each derived
classes' set_data() method, called from each constructor and deallocated
in the destructors. Considering the remaining Big 3, these classes are
never copy constructed or copy assigned so provide private definitions
and no implementations so the compiler enforces this.
Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
Change Win_GParted::copied_partition from Partition object which is
copied by value into a pointer to a Partition object object which is
allocated, copy constructed and deleted. Required as part of the
polymorphic implementation of Partitions.
As before when managing the lifetime of pointers to objects in a class
the Big 3 of destructor, copy constructor and copy assignment operator
need to be considered. A destructor is added to finally delete
copied_partition. A single Win_GParted object is only ever created and
destroyed in main(). The class is never copy constructed or copy
assigned. Make the compiler enforce this with private declarations and
no implementations.
Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
Operation classes now internally use pointers to Partition objects and
take on management of their lifetimes. As before, with the
PartitionVector class, when storing pointers in a class the Big 3 of
destructor, copy constructor and copy assignment operator also have to
be considered.
First, all the Partition objects are allocated in the derived Operation*
class parameterised constructors and freed in the associated
destructors. However the Operation classes are never copy constructed
or copy assigned; they are only ever created and destroyed. Only
pointers to the derived Operations are copied into the vector of pending
operations. Therefore the copy construtor and copy assignment operator
aren't needed. To enforce this provide inaccessible private
declarations without any implementation so that the compiler will
enforce this [1][2].
This example code fragment:
1 OperationCheck o1( device, partition );
2 OperationCheck o2 = o1;
3 o2 = o1;
Does these OperationCheck calls:
1 Implemented parameterised construtor,
2 Disallowed copy constructor,
3 Disallowed copy assignment
Trying to compile the above code would fail with errors like these:
../include/OperationCheck.h: In member function 'void GParted::Win_GParted::activate_check()':
../include/OperationCheck.h:36:2: error: 'GParted::OperationCheck::OperationCheck(const GParted::OperationCheck&)' is private

Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
The Operation classes contain partition objects which are copied by
value. Need to replace these with pointers to Partition objects instead
and manage their lifetimes so that they can be used polymorphically.
First step is to protect the partition members partition_new,
partition_original, and for OperationCopy class only, partition_copied
within the Operation classes and provide accessor methods.
get_partition_new() and get_partition_original() accessors are
implemented in the Operation base class so all derived classes get an
implementation. get_partition_new() is also virtual so that
OperationCheck and OperationDelete can override the implementation and
assert that they don't use partition_new. get_partition_copied() is
provided for the OperationCopy class only so can only be accessed via an
OperationCopy type variable.
Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
Remove PartitionVector push_back() and insert() methods which copy
construct Partitions objects into the vector. All the code has already
been changed to dynamically allocate Partition objects and use the
adoption variants of these methods named, push_back_adopt() and
insert_adopt(). Remove the no longer used methods.
Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
GParted_Core and Operation classes both have an insert_unallocated()
method which do the same thing with very nearly identical code. Both
methods insert unallocated partitions into the vector of partitions
within the specified range of sectors to fill in any gaps larger than
1 MiB. The only difference was how the two methods got the device path;
the GParted_Core class method got it via a parameter and the Operation
class method got it by calling get_path() on its device member variable.
The GParted_Core insert_unallocated() method gets called during device
scanning and the Operation one gets called when constructing the visual
for a pending operation.
Consolidate down to a single insert_unallocated() implementation by
making the Operation class method call the GParted_Core class method.
Make the GParted_Core class method static and public so that it can be
called using the class name from outside the class.
Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
The current code uses push_back() and insert() to copy Partition objects
into the vector of pointers. This has a few issues:
1) Unnecessary copying of Partition objects;
2) Hides the nature of the PartitionVector class as a manager of
pointers to Partition objects by providing copy semantics to add
items. It is generally better to be explicit;
3) C++ doesn't provide polymorphic copy construction directly, but this
is easily worked around by following the Virtual Constructor idiom
[1], which would allow PartitionLUKS derived class objects to be
copied into the vector.
Add push_back_adopt() and insert_adopt() methods which add a pointer to
a Partition object into the PartitionVector adopting ownership.

Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
The PartitionVector class is now internally using pointers to Partition
objects and taking on management of their lifetimes. It therefore has
to implement the Big 3: destructor, copy constructor and copy assignment
operator [1][2]. This is because the implicitly-defined copy
constructor and assignment operator perform memberwise "shallow copying"
and the destructor does nothing. This not correct for classes which
contain non-class types such as raw pointers.
The semantics of the interface still copies each Partition object into
the PartitionVector when they are added with push_back() and insert().
Note that a PartitionVector object is explicitly copy assigned in
Win_GParted::Refresh_Visual(). They are also implicitly copied when
(1) the implementing vector is resized larger to allow it to hold more
pointers to Partition objects than it previously had capacity for; and
(2) a Partition object is copied including the logicals PartitionVector
member.

Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
Lots of files which use the Partition class relied on the declaration
being included via other header files. This is bad practice.
Add #include "Partition.h" into every file which uses the Partition
class which doesn't already include it. Header file #include guards are
specifically to allow this.
get_partitions() method was returning a vector of partitions. However
the calling code only needed to know whether any partitions were found
or not. Replace with found_partitions() method reporting the needed
boolean.
Now use of std::vector<Partition> partitions is hidden within the
Dialog_Rescue_Data class implementation.
Bug 759726 - Implement Partition object polymorphism
Just creates PartitionVector class and includes it in partition.h so
that it is built and validated by the compiler. Not used anywhere yet.
Implementation strategy is to create a PartitionLUKS class derived from
the Partition class. This implies polymorphism of Partition objects,
which in C++ requires using pointers and references to objects, and not
using objects directly. (See C++ object slicing). Later this
PartitionVector class will be modified to use pointers to Partition
objects and act as the owner of the pointed to Partition objects.

Capture and parse the progress reports of ntfsresize and resize2fs and
update the dialog progress bar.
Bug 467925 - gparted: add progress bar during operation
Return newly constructed partition object by reference rather than by
copy from the Copy, Resize/Move and New dialog classes. This is another
case of stopping copying partition objects in preparation for using
polymorphic Partition objects. In C++ polymorphism has to use pass by
pointer and reference and not pass by value, copying, to avoid object
slicing.
The returned reference to the partition is only valid until the dialog
object containing the new_partition member is destroyed. This is okay
because in all three cases the returned referenced partition is copied
into a context with new lifetime expectations before the dialog object
is destroyed.
Case 1: GParted_Core::activate_paste()
Referenced new_partition is copied in the OperationCopy constructor
before the dialog object goes out of scope.
Operation * operation = new OperationCopy( ...,
dialog.Get_New_Partition( ... ),
... );
Case 2: GParted_Core::activate_new()
Referenced new_partition is copied in the OperationCreate
constructor before the dialog object goes out of scope.
Operation * operation = new OperationCreate( ...,
dialog.Get_New_Partition( ... ) );
Case 3: GParted_Core::activate_resize()
Temporary partition object is copied from the referenced
new_partition before the dialog object goes out of scope.
Partition part_temp = dialog.Get_New_Partition( ... );
Bug 757671 - Rework Dialog_Partition_New::Get_New_Partition() a bit
This is just to make the parameter name in the Dialog_Partition_New
constructor and set_data() method match the name of the equivalent
parameter in the Dialog_Partition_Copy and Dialog_Partition_Resize_Move
classes. (All three classes inherit from Dialog_Base_Partition and have
similar interfaces).
Bug 757671 - Rework Dialog_Partition_New::Get_New_Partition() a bit
Automatically load the cache of SWRaid information for the first time if
any of the querying methods are called before the first explicit
load_cache() call. Means we can't accidentally use the class and
incorrectly find no SWRaid members when they do exist.
Bug 756829 - SWRaid member detection enhancements
Busy file systems are accessed via a mount point, LVM Physical Volumes
are activated via the Volume Group name and busy SWRaid members are
accessed via the array device, /dev entry. Therefore choose to show the
array device in the mount point field for busy SWRaid members.
The kernel device name for an SWRaid array (without leading "/dev/") is
the same as used in /proc/mdstat and /proc/partitions. Therefore the
array device (with leading "/dev/") displayed in GParted will match
between the mount point for busy SWRaid members and the array itself as
used in the device combo box.

Bug 756829 - SWRaid member detection enhancements
In cases where blkid wrongly reports a file system instead of an SWRaid
member (sometimes confused by metadata 0.90/1.0 mirror array or old
version not recognising SWRaid members), the UUID and label are
obviously wrong too. Therefore have to use the UUID and label returned
by the mdadm query command and never anything reported by blkid or any
file system specific command.
Example of blkid reporting the wrong type, UUID and label for /dev/sda1
and the correct values for /dev/sdb1:
# blkid | egrep 'sd[ab]1'
/dev/sda1: UUID="10ab5f7d-7d8a-4171-8b6a-5e973b402501" TYPE="ext4" LABEL="chimney-boot"
/dev/sdb1: UUID="15224a42-c25b-bcd9-15db-60004e5fe53a" UUID_SUB="0a095e45-9360-1b17-0ad1-1fe369e22b98" LABEL="chimney:1" TYPE="linux_raid_member"
# mdadm -E -s -v
ARRAY /dev/md/1 level=raid1 metadata=1.0 num-devices=2 UUID=15224a42:c25bbcd9:15db6000:4e5fe53a name=chimney:1

...
ARRAY /dev/md127 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=8dc7483c:d74ee0a8:b6a8dc3c:a57e43f8
devices=/dev/sdb6,/dev/sda6
...
NOTES:
* In mdadm terminology the label is called the array name, hence name=
parameter for array md/1 in the above output.
* Metadata 0.90 arrays don't support naming, hence the missing name=
parameter for array md127 in the above output.
Bug 756829 - SWRaid member detection enhancements
Add active attribute to the cache of SWRaid members. Move parsing of
/proc/mdstat to discover busy SWRaid members into the cache loading
code. New parsing code is a little different because it is finding all
members of active arrays rather than determining if a specific member is
active.
Bug 756829 - SWRaid member detection enhancements
Detection of Linux SWRaid members currently fails in a number of cases:
1) Arrays which use metadata type 0.90 or 1.0 store the super block at
the end of the partition. So file system signatures in at least
linear and mirrored arrays occur at the same offsets in the
underlying partitions. As libparted only recognises file systems
this is what is detected, rather than an SWRaid member.
# mdadm -E -s -v
ARRAY /dev/md/1 level=raid1 metadata=1.0 num-devices=2 UUID=15224a42:c25bbcd9:15db6000:4e5fe53a name=chimney:1

2) Again with metadata type 0.90 or 1.0 arrays blkid may report the
contained file system instead of an SWRaid member. Have a single
example of this configuration with a mirrored array containing the
/boot file system. Blkid reports one member as ext4 and the other as
SWRaid!
# blkid | egrep 'sd[ab]1'
/dev/sda1: UUID="10ab5f7d-7d8a-4171-8b6a-5e973b402501" TYPE="ext4" LABEL="chimney-boot"
/dev/sdb1: UUID="15224a42-c25b-bcd9-15db-60004e5fe53a" UUID_SUB="0a095e45-9360-1b17-0ad1-1fe369e22b98" LABEL="chimney:1" TYPE="linux_raid_member"
Bypassing the blkid cache gets the correct result.
# blkid -c /dev/null /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: UUID="15224a42-c25b-bcd9-15db-60004e5fe53a" UUID_SUB="d0460f90-d11a-e80a-ee1c-3d104dae7e5d" LABEL="chimney:1" TYPE="linux_raid_member"
However this can't be used because if a user has a floppy configured
in the BIOS but no floppy attached, GParted will wait for minutes as
the kernel tries to access non-existent hardware on behalf of the
blkid query. See commit:
18f863151c
Fix long scan problem when BIOS floppy setting incorrect
3) Old versions of blkid don't recognise SWRaid members at all so always
report the file system when found. Occurs with blkid v1.0 on
RedHat / CentOS 5.
The only way I can see how to fix all these cases is to use the mdadm
command to query the configured arrays. Then use this information for
first choice when detecting partition content, making the order: SWRaid
members, libparted, blkid and internal.
GParted shell wrapper already creates temporary blank udev rules to
prevent Linux Software RAID arrays being automatically started when
GParted refreshes its device information[1]. However an administrator
could manually stop or start arrays or change their configuration
between refreshes so GParted must load this information every refresh.
On my desktop with 4 internal hard drives and 3 testing Linux Software
RAID arrays, running mdadm adds between 0.20 and 0.30 seconds to the
device refresh time.

Bug 756035 - GParted does not compile with newer gtkmm libraries in
Fedora 23
GParted waits forever when attempting to set a FAT16/32 file system
label which contains prohibited characters [1][2]. This is because
mlabel asks a question and is waiting for input. Force cancelling the
operation doesn't work either as GParted sends signal 2 (interrupt i.e.
[Ctrl-C]) but mtools commands specifically ignores this and a number of
other signals. Have to kill mlabel with signal 9 (kill) to regain
control of GParted.
Mlabel command with prohibited characters in the label:
# export MTOOLS_SKIP_CHECK=1
# mlabel ::"MYLABEL/ " -i /dev/sdb10
Long file name "MYLABEL/ " contains illegal character(s).
