* Added support for xfs. this means creating and growing xfs filesystems. Shrinking requires some hacking with dump_xfs etc..
i'll add that at a later point. :)
* Replaced boolean 'resize' with 'shrink' and 'grow'. It seems some filesystems only support growing (e.g. xfs) so i need
two flags to control the behaviour of the filesystemclasses.
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc: modified layoutscan a bit for improved handling of metadata.
* include/Operation.h,
src/Operation.cc: modified Insert_Unallocated() to prevent potential crasher.
* src/ext2.cc,
src/ext3.cc,
src/ntfs.cc,
src/reiserfs.cc: added LANG=C to the commands which read the used space of a filesystem. This prevent errors with some locales.
* added MIN and MAX to filesystemstruct to set min. and max sizes of a filesystem. So instead of checking per filesystem
i now simply check the fs.MIN or fs.MAX. this results in less and cleaner code. Also this will come in handy when adding
support for new filesystems. (This also fixed several minor bugs with filesystemsizes and gained some improvement in resizer
performance)
* src/GParted_Core.cc: When ( ! deep_scan ) now only one device is scanned (first found one). Shaves off a couple of millisec from startuptime |-)
* src/Win_GParted.cc: Fixed small bug with removable devices and the devicemenu. Also fixed redundant calling of 2 functions.
* include/FileSystem.h,
src/FileSystem.cc: Execute_Command() now returns exit status of executed command
* the filesystemclasses: returnvalue (bool) is now set according to the return status of the command
* src/GParted_Core.cc: It seemed some kernels remove and re-add blockdevicepaths after the commit_to_os. This caused trouble at some points
where the path was required. I decided to sleep 1 sec after each scan. So rescanning devices will take 1 extra second per device :|
* src/Win_GParted.cc: fixed typo in string.
* 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)
