* Every devicescan now tests on beforehand if the kernel is able to reread the partitiontable. If the kernel is unable to do
this, i disallow most operations. This may seem weird and even a bad thing to do, but the fact is it protects
the innocent user from a lot of potential damage. Till the linuxkernel is able to reread partitiontables no matter what, this seems
to be the best option. Of course a dialog with information will popup whenever such a situation is encountered.
In a next release i might consider adding an 'advanced mode' for users who know what they're doing.
* src/Dialog_Partition_New.cc: selecting 'extended partition' twice caused a segfault. i cannot believe i didn't detect this bug earlier :| Fixed.
also made it possible to create an unformatted partition.
* src/GParted_Core.cc: backend support for creating partition without filesystem (unformatted).
* Harddisks without disklabel are now properly initizalized and shown in the menu. When one tries to create a new partition on
such a disk a dialog pops up with some blabla about disklabels and offers to create a disklabel. sweet :P (special thanks to mantiena-baltix
for bringing this issue to my attention)
* fixed minor annoyance with refreshing detailed deviceinfo after a 'deep refresh'
* src/Dialog_Partition_Resize_Move.cc: fixed small bug with resizing and lower limits.
* src/GParted_Core.cc: use ped_file_system_clobber before creating a filesystem on a partition.
* src/Win_GParted.cc: pasting is now only allowed if unallocated >= copied partition + cylindersize.
Instead of dividing length device by amount of cylinders i use heads * sectors/track to get cylindersize.
Changed device busy warning a bit to more decent english (adamw)
* src/ntfs.cc: readded '-Q' to mkntfs. The error about an 'unknown filesystem' was related to detection problems and not to
faulty creation of the filesystem. Should be solved anyway by implementing ped_file_system_clobber.
Also removed ntfsfix since it didn't do anything relevant. Instead i use ntfsresize, because this contains relevant checks (szaka)
* src/TreeView_Detail.cc: renamed columnheader from 'Type' to 'Filesystem'. Dunno why it was called 'Type' (maybe some PM legacy =) )
* src/Win_GParted.cc: Made device busy warning a bit more sensible.
* include/Utils.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc,
src/Partition.cc,
src/TreeView_Detail.cc,
src/VBox_VisualDisk.cc: marked some strings for translation ('unknown', 'used', 'unused') and replaced lowercase 'unallocated' with '---'.
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc: fixed nasty error with resizing 'fixed-start filesystems'.
* src/Partition.cc: added a check to prevent unused space from being bigger then total space.
* src/ntfs.cc: removed -Q from mkntfs. -Q bypassed some safetychecks to gain performance and (so i heard later) also had a
tendency of failing ;) (Adrighem)
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc,
src/Makefile.am,
include/ntfs.h,
src/ntfs.cc: added full ntfs support. (couldn't test it very will due to the absence of a win32 box :P )
* src/GParted_Core.cc: cosmetics
* src/reiserfs.cc: make use of real commands instead of their symlinks. fixed copy of reiserfs filsystem
(the new size wasn't reported correctly)
* src/ext2.cc,
src/ext3.cc: removed ':' from Blocksize scan.
* src/reiserfs.cc: dumped progsreiserfs. From now on gparted uses the official namesystools (reiserfsprogs)
this resulted in much more reliable creation en resizing of reiserfs filesystems.
* Again way too many chances to create a detailed entry (i'm glad i'm the only dev atm :P ).
Resizing of ext2/3 works perfect now. I've even tested it on the partition holding my SG seasons =)
Implemented checking of filesystems (only internally used atm).
Done some overall tweaking, finetuning etc.. release 0.0.7 is getting shape.
* include/Device.h,
src/Device.cc: Removed bool Get_Any_Busy() in favor of public bool busy which is set in gparted_core.
This also fixed a small bug with incorrect mountdetection of logical partitions.
Also added a Reset() function to properly reset the contents of a device. to zero/empty .
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc: 'busyness' of a device is now determined in get_devices().
Renamed get_partitions() to set_device_partitions to reflect its proper function.
When a new partition is created to contain a copied filesystem the size is now properly set. This fixes
a very annoying bug which no one knew about except for me =) .
* src/Win_GParted.cc: use boolean busy from device instead of Get_Any_Busy() .
* Rewrote a large part of gparteds internal code. Filesystemssupport is now much more separated from the rest of gparted and
adding support for other filesystems should be a piece of cake now (hope that's true :P)
It still needs a lot of love, but the foundations are laid =)
* include/Operation.h,
src/Operation.cc: make use of reference arguments instead of return values in some functions.
Also fixed a small bug with deletion of a virtual (new) logical partition.
* include/VBox_VisualDisk.h,
src/VBox_VisualDisk.cc: logical filesystems weren't shown in the legend, fixed.
* src/Frame_Resizer_Base.cc: fixed small bug with custom cursors.
* src/TreeView_Detail.cc: removed obsolete, already commented code.
* src/Win_GParted.cc: make use of reference arguments instead of return values in some functions. (see Operation)
* instead of listing all partition in one list, logical partitions are now stored in a sublist in extended partition object.
This makes partitionhandling in gparted more natural and transparant. It also allowed me to clean up this ugly Operation class ;)
* configure.in: added checks for libuuid and libdl. Also refined libparted check a bit.
* include/Partition.h,
src/Partition.cc: removed Get_Color()
* include/Utils.h: added inline Glib::ustring Get_Color( const Glib::ustring & filesystem )
* src/Dialog_Partition_New.cc,
src/Win_GParted.cc: make use of Get_Color from Utils.h
* src/Device.cc: fixed a crasher with (at least) pl_PL locale.
* src/Device.cc: removed libparted messagesdialog. instead, show them on the console. They proved to be pretty useless.
* src/Win_GParted.cc: fixed crasher when loading gparted (or refresh devices) while there's a (audio) cd in the cdrom-drive.
* include/Dialog_Partition_Resize_Move.h,
src/Dialog_Partition_Resize_Move.cc: fixed some bugs with minimum size of resizable partition + some codecleanups.
* src/Dialog_Partition_New.cc: changed width of optionmenus from 150 to 160 pixels. (in certain langs the strings didn't fit)
* src/VBox_VisualDisk.cc: used/unused legend doesn't have to show up if there's only linux-swap.
