Helper to check whether a recognised file system type is supported by
GParted or not. Supported means there is an implementation class and
will appear in the File System Support dialog.
Make supported_filesystem() a static member function so that it can be
called without a class object so that GParted_Core::GParted_Core()
initialiser isn't called multiple times. This requires FILESYSTEM_MAP
to become a static member variable too.
Bug #738471 - ReFS file system is not recognised
get_filesystem_object() takes a constant reference to a FILESYSTEM, but
FILESYSTEM is just an enumeration. So that's a pointer to a constant
int. Just pass by value instead.
Remove HAVE_LIBPARTED_3_1_0_PLUS definition and replace Autoconf
check for libparted >= 3.1
Currently uses custom check which compiles an executable to check for
libparted version >= 3.1 to determine the availability of the library
parted-fs-resize and the need to include the header <parted/filesys.h>.
Change to use a direct Autoconf check to determine the availability of
the ped_file_system_resize() function in the parted-fs-resize library.
Remove inclusion of the header <parted/filesys.h> as it has always been
included via <parted/parted.h>, at least as far back as parted 1.8.0,
and even in parted 3.0 when ped_file_system_resize() and libparted file
system resize capability didn't exist.
Bug #734718 - Update Autoconf version specific libparted checks and
defines to feature specific ones
While one partition is busy, reformat another partition from the command
line. Afterwards parted/libparted still detects the original file
system and GParted shows errors from the file system specific tools
reporting the new file system doesn't exist. Only limitation is that
the new new file system must be recognised by libparted (or by GParted's
fallback file system signature detection).

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 btrfs
file system support: btrfs-tools.
This is another case of libparted reading from the whole disk device
(/dev/sdb) yet the file system tools use the partition specific block
device (/dev/sdb2), and the Linux buffer cache not providing cache
coherency. Previous scenario was fixed with:
797f0b8eeb
Flush device after wiping a file system (#688882)
This affects libparted 2.0 to 3.1 inclusive and is fixed by:

Fix by calling ped_device_sync() to guarantee cache coherency for each
device during scanning.
Bug #723842 - GParted resizes the wrong filesystem (does not pass the
devid to btrfs filesystem resize)
With linux 3.5 and later, the device used to mount a btrfs file system
is updated in /proc/mounts when the previous mounting device is removed
from the file system. Most recent distributions make /etc/mtab a
symbolic link to /proc/mounts. However some still have /etc/mtab as a
plain file only updated by mount and umount, thus showing the old device
name which is no longer part of the file system.
On Ubuntu 13.10, which has /etc/mtab as a plain file managed by mount
and umount:
# mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb1
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/1
# btrfs device add /dev/sdb2 /mnt/1
# btrfs device delete /dev/sdb1 /mnt/1
# sync
# btrfs filesystem show /dev/sdb1
# btrfs filesystem show /dev/sdb2
Label: none uuid: e47775a6-e5ad-4fb4-9ea4-1570aa5b4009
Total devices 2 FS bytes used 28.00KB
devid 2 size 2.00GB used 272.00MB path /dev/sdb2
# fgrep btrfs /proc/mounts
/dev/sdb2 /mnt/1 btrfs rw,relatime,space_cache 0 0
# ls -l /etc/mtab
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 842 Apr 15 19:41 /etc/mtab
# fgrep btrfs /etc/mtab
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/1 btrfs rw 0 0
This causes GParted to report /dev/sdb1 as busy and mounted at /mnt/1
when it is no longer mounted. This effects recent releases of Ubuntu,
13.04, 13.10 and 14.04.
Either /etc/mtab is a symlink and is identical to /proc/mounts or
/etc/mtab is a plain file with wrong information. Fix by not reading
mounted file systems from /etc/mtab.
However old distributions only contain 'rootfs' and '/dev/root' device
names for the / (root) file system with '/dev/root' being a block device
rather than a symlink to the true device. For example from CentOS 5.x:
# fgrep ' / ' /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/root / ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0
# ls -l /dev/root
brw------- 1 root root 8, 3 Jun 4 2013 /dev/root
This prevents identification, and therefore busy detection, of the
device containing the / (root) file system. Used to read /etc/mtab to
get the root file system device name.
# fgrep ' / ' /etc/mtab
/dev/sda3 / ext3 rw 0 0
# ls -l /dev/sda3
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 3 Jun 4 2013 /dev/sda3
As per commit:
409096f739
improved scanning for root mountpoint (/) ...
but, as discussed above, this contains an out of date device name after
the mounting device has been dynamically removed from a multi-device
btrfs, thus identifying the wrong device as busy. Instead fall back to
reading mounted file systems from the output of the mount command, but
only when required.
# mount | fgrep ' / '
/dev/sda3 on / type ext3 (rw)
Bug #723842 - GParted resizes the wrong filesystem (does not pass the
devid to btrfs filesystem resize)
Linux can only show a single device name in /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab
for each mounted btrfs, even if it is a multi-device file system. So
GParted only shows a mount point for one of the devices in the btrfs, no
matter how many devices are part of the file system.
# mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2
# btrfs filesystem show /dev/sdb1
Label: none uuid: 36eb51a2-2927-4c92-820f-b2f0b5cdae50
Total devices 2 FS bytes used 156.00KB
devid 2 size 2.00GB used 512.00MB path /dev/sdb2
devid 1 size 2.00GB used 240.75MB path /dev/sdb1
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/1
# grep btrfs /proc/mounts
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/1 btrfs rw,seclabel,relatime,ssd,space_cache 0 0
GParted only shows the mount point for /dev/sdb1 as /mnt/1, but nothing
for /dev/sdb2.
Make GParted report the same mount point for all devices included in a
multi-device btrfs file system.
Add btrfs specific get_mount_device() method to report the mounting
device, if any, for the btrfs file system in the occupying the device in
question. Uses the existing cache of btrfs file system device
membership. Also extract common code from GParted_Core::
set_mountpoints() into set_mountpoints_helper().
Bug #723842 - GParted resizes the wrong filesystem (does not pass the
devid to btrfs filesystem resize)
Add static member function GParted_Core::is_dev_mounted() so that other
modules can determine if a particular partition contains a mounted file
system or not.
Make it a static member function so that it can be called without
needing the gparted_core object. Extend to make the group of
manipulated variables (mount_info, fstab_info) and manipulating
functions (init_maps(), read_mountpoints_from_file(),
read_mountpoints_from_file_swaps(), get_all_mountpoints()) static too.
Bug #723842 - GParted resizes the wrong filesystem (does not pass the
devid to btrfs filesystem resize)
GParted's primary inbuilt busy detection method is "is the partition
mounted?". A custom method is used for LVM2 PV because its not a
mounted file system.
Make busy detection selectable per file system type.
.fs.busy = FS::NONE (default)
No busy detection.
.fs.busy = FS::GPARTED
Use internal GParted method which checks if the partition is
mounted.
.fs.busy = FS:EXTERNAL
Call the file system type's member function is_busy().
LVM2 PV busy detection changes from a special case to just electing to
call the lvm2_pv::is_busy() method. Linux Software RAID remains a
special case because it's only recognised, but not otherwise supported.
Bug #723842 - GParted resizes the wrong filesystem (does not pass the
devid to btrfs filesystem resize)
The code used to unnecessarily destroy and re-create the file system
objects on every scan for file system support tools.
Instead only create the file system objects once and just call each
object's get_filesystem_support() method on each rescan.
Prior to commit:
1f3b11748e
Remove GParted_Core::p_filesystem (#683149)
set_proper_filesystems() used to set GParted_Core::p_filesystem member
variable to one of the FileSystem objects, but that was just treating it
like a local variable. After the commit local variables named
p_filesystem were used where required and set_proper_filesystem() became
a function which did nothing other than call get_filesystem_object().
Now remove set_proper_filesystem() altogether and use
get_filesystem_object() in its place.

In the Create Partition Table dialog display the entries in the combobox
in order.
Previously the default of MSDOS or GPT was moved to the first item in
the combobox. Now the partition table types remain in order with just
either MSDOS or GPT being selected as as the default as required.
The partition table types are displayed in the order supplied by
libparted, which is alphabetic except with "loop" last.
Bug #711098 - Default partition table can not handle > 2 TiB disks
MSDOS partition table is limited to addressing 2^32 sectors, limiting
disks using 512 byte sectors to 2 TiB in size. Fdisk reports the
following warning on disks 2 TiB and larger.
# truncate -s 2T /var/tmp/loop-2T
# losetup /dev/loop0 /var/tmp/loop-2T
# fdisk /dev/loop0
WARNING: The size of this disk is 2.2 TB (2199023255552 bytes).
DOS partition table format can not be used on drives for volumes
larger than (2199023255040 bytes) for 512-byte sectors. Use parted(1) and GUID
partition table format (GPT).
(Fdisk arguably reports this warning one sector too early. Anyway for
safety and consistency GParted will use this limit too). Continue to
use MSDOS as the default partition table type for disks smaller than 2
TiB and use GPT as the default for disks 2 TiB and larger. This
maximises compatibility.
Also remove the advanced expander and always show the partition table
list box.
Bug #711098 - Default partition table can not handle > 2 TiB disks

Closes Bug #539297 - Make include guards unique
These functions in GParted_Core:
open_device()
open_device_and_disk()
close_disk()
close_device_and_disk()
call the following functions in the libparted API:
ped_device_get()
ped_disk_new()
ped_disk_destroy()
ped_device_destroy()
which don't open or close anything. Instead they allocate and
deallocate PedDevice and PedDisk memory structures which describe block
devices and partition tables respectively.
Rename functions:
open_device_and_disk() -> get_device_and_disk()
close_device_and_disk() -> destroy_device_and_disk()
and merge open_device() and open_device() as each only wrapped one
libparted function and was only called from a single place.
The wipefs command has the following significant limitations which were
worked around in previous commits:
1) Wasn't available in the earliest distributions supported by GParted;
2) Had to be called 3 times to erase vfat (fat16/32) signatures in all
but the most recent versions.
This meant we had all the code to clear file system signatures without
using the wipefs command as well as extra complexity of using wipefs
too. So just remove use of the wipefs command.
Bug #688882 - Improve clearing of file system signatures
Before util-linux 2.21.0, released Feb 2012, wipefs only cleared one of
the three vfat (fat16/fat32) signatures it can be detected by each time
wipefs was run. Also if a nilfs2 file system was created before all
three signatures were cleared the partition was still recognised as a
vfat file system, albeit a corrupted one, rather than as a nilfs2 file
system.
Old wipefs clearing vfat signatures:
# wipefs --version
wipefs from util-linux 2.20.1
# wipefs -a /dev/sda7
8 bytes were erased at offset 0x52 (vfat)
they were: 46 41 54 33 32 20 20 20
# wipefs -a /dev/sda7
1 bytes were erased at offset 0x0 (vfat)
they were: eb
# wipefs -a /dev/sda7
2 bytes were erased at offset 0x1fe (vfat)
they were: 55 aa
New wipefs clearing vfat signatures:
# wipefs --version
wipefs from util-linux 2.21.2
# wipefs -a /dev/sda12
8 bytes were erased at offset 0x00000052 (vfat): 46 41 54 33 32 20 20 20
1 bytes were erased at offset 0x00000000 (vfat): eb
2 bytes were erased at offset 0x000001fe (vfat): 55 aa
Workaround by calling "wipefs -a" three times if the output indicated
only one vfat signature was cleared.
Bug #688882 - Improve clearing of file system signatures
Previously the function erase_filesystem_signatures() was used to clear
file system signatures when a new partition was created and when an
existing partition was formatted with a file system. However this was
only available with libparted <= 2.4 and then only for the file systems
which libparted supports.
Having multiple different file system signatures on a partition leads to
misidentification of file system. For example creating a nilfs2 over
the top of a fat32 file system is detected as a fat32, not nilfs2. This
shows that old file system signatures must be cleared before a new file
system is created.
Fix by always using "wipefs -a /dev/PARTITION" command to clear all old
file system signatures rather than libparted API calls. Failure from
wipefs is only considered a warning so doesn't fail the file system
creation. (This doesn't yet fully meet the "MUST be cleared"
requirement above. Will be fully met later in this patchset). Output
from the wipefs command is displayed as a new sub-step which looks like
this:
v Format /dev/sda7 as xfs 00:00:05
> calibrate /dev/sda14 00:00:01
v clear old file system signatures in /dev/sda7 00:00:01 [NEW]
> wipefs -a /dev/sda7 [NEW]
> set partition type on /dev/sda7 00:00:02
v create new xfs file system 00:00:01
> mkfs.xfs -f -L "" /dev/sda7
Also signatures are only cleared immediately before a new file system is
written and not when an unformatted partition is created. This allows
recovery from accidental partition deletion by re-creating the deleted
partition as unformatted.
Bug #688882 - Improve clearing of file system signatures
Interested operations can now connect a signal to their OperationDetail
to be notified of a cancelation request. The internal copy/move code
will now cleanly stop on cancelation, allowing the partition to be
rolled back to its previous state. This makes canceling a move
perfectly safe.
After clicking cancel, the button changes to "Force Cancel" and is
disabled for 5 seconds. Operations that are safe to cancel will do so
and those that are not will continue to run. Clicking force cancel
asks operations to cancel, even if doing so is unsafe. For the
internal copy/move algorithm, canceling is always safe because an
error results in a rollback operation. Canceling the rollback is
unsafe. For external commands, filesystem modules may indicate
that the command is safe to cancel or not. Canceled commands will
be terminated with SIGINT.
As a result of the new safe cancel vs force cancel distinction, the
scary warning about cancl causing corruption has been moved to
after clicking the force cancel button.
Part of Bug #601239 - Please allow 'Cancel after current operation'
Have the copy code create a background thread to do the actual copying so
that it won't block the main loop.
Part of Bug 685740 - Refactor to use asynchronous command execution
Win_Gparted and Dialog_Progress were creating threads to perform most
functions in the background. Most of the time, the only reason the
threads blocked was to execute an external command. The external command
execution has been changed to spawn the command asynchronously and wait
for completion with a nested main loop. While waiting for completion,
the pipe output is captured via events. In the future, this will allow
for it to be parsed in real time to obtain progress information.
Those tasks in GParted_Core that still block now spawn a background thread
and wait for it to complete with a nested main loop to avoid hanging the
gui.
Part of Bug #685740 - Refactor to use asynchronous command execution
They were used like global variables. Now they are moved to the
functions that actually use them to make clearer how the data flow is.
Bug #683149 - Cleanup(?): Remove lp_device and lp_disk from GParted_Core
Each file system class can now choose how the size and free space of the
file system is determined when it is mounted.
.fs.online_read = FS::NONE (default)
Do nothing. Don't get the file system size and free space.
.fs.online_read = FS::GPARTED
Use internal GParted method which calls statvfs() system call on
the mounted file system.
.fs.online_read = FS::EXTERNAL
Call the file system's member function set_used_sectors(). This
is the same function as called when the file system is not
mounted. It can determine if the file system is mounted or not
by testing partition.busy and acting accordingly.
This means that determining the size and free space of active LVM2
Physical Volumes is no longer a special case. Instead the lvm2_pv class
just elects to have its set_used_sectors() method called for both the
active and deactive cases.
Bug #683255 - ext2: statvfs differs from dumpe2fs (x MB unallocated
space within the partition)
When an inactive LVM2 Volume Group is exported it makes it unknown to
the local system, ready for moving the member Physical Volumes to
another system, where the VG can be imported and used. In this state a
PV can't be resized.
# lvm pvresize /dev/sda10
Volume group Test-VG1 is exported
Unable to read volume group "Test-VG1".
0 physical volume(s) resized / 1 physical volume(s) not resized
# echo $?
5
Fix this by preventing resizing of such a PV. This has been coded in a
generic way using new function filesystem_resize_disallowed() to
determine whether a file system is allowed to be resized or not. For
a file system which can be resized, but is currently not allowed to be
resized, the behaviour is as follows:
1) Pasting into unallocated space is limited to creating a new
partition which is the same size as the copied partition.
2) Resizing the partition is disallowed, only moving the partition is
allowed.
3) Pasting into an existing partition will only copy the file system.
If the destination partition is larger a warning will report that
growing the file system is not currently allowed.
4) Checking a partition will also report a warning that growing the
file system is not currently allowed.
This is exactly the same behaviour as for a file system which does not
implement resizing, except for a different warning message.
Bug #670171 - Add LVM PV read-write support
This commit only adds a remove() method to every file system and an
optional call to it in the relevant operations. All remove() methods
are no operations and not enabled.
The remove() method provides explicit controlled removal of a file
system before the partition is deleted or overwritten by being formatted
or pasted into. When implemented, it appears as an extra step in the
relevant operation. The file system specific remove() method is
explicitly allowed to fail and stop the operations currently being
applied.
This is different to the existing erase_filesystem_signatures() which
wipes any previous file system signatures immediately before a new file
system is written to ensure there is no possibility of the partition
containing two or more different file system signatures. It never fails
or reports anything to the user.
NOTE:
Most file systems should NOT implement a remove() method as it will
prevent recovery from accidental partition deletion.
Bug #670171 - Add LVM PV read-write support
The parted-3.1 release brings back FAT16/FAT32 and HFS/HFS+ file
system resize capabilities in a new libparted fs resize library.
The following operations are again available when GParted is linked
with parted-3.1:
FAT16 - grow and shrink
FAT32 - grow and shrink
HFS - shrink
HFS+ - shrink
Note that there is a difference in how move actions are handled for
FAT16/FAT32 file systems based on parted version.
When GParted is linked with parted >= 3.0:
FAT16 - move performed internally by GParted
FAT32 - move performed internally by GParted
When GParted is linked with parted < 3.0:
FAT16 - move performed by libparted
FAT32 - move performed by libparted
Thanks goes to Jim Meyering for restoring these file system resizing
capabilities in Parted 3.1 with a new libparted fs resize library.
Closes Bug #668281 - minimal file-system resize API? (FAT and HFS*

Bug #667278 - Add support for setting UUID
Bug #608308 - fix documentation - Copying and Pasting a Partition
We used to just log libparted exceptions without handling them. This patch
changes the exception handler to display a modal dialog box and return the
chosen action to libparted.
The release of (lib)parted 3.0 includes a change to the Application
Programing Interface - API. Most importantly, libparted 3.0 removes
many file system specific function calls, and hence the capabilities
provided by these functions. In order for GParted to compile and link
with libparted 3.0, this libparted functionality is lost.
Specifically, the functionality that is lost when GParted is compiled
and linked with libparted 3.0 is as follows:
- Loss of ability to grow and shrink FAT16 and FAT32 file systems
- Loss of ability to shrink HFS and HFS+ file systems
- Loss of ability to determine used and unused sectors in HFS and
HFS+ file systems
- Loss of ability to erase file system signatures on partition
create and format
It is hoped that other free software projects will include some or all
of the above lost functionality, which can then be added back to
GParted.
This commit includes a change in how FAT16 and FAT32 file systems are
moved. Specifically the move is now performed internally by GParted
when linked with libparted 3.0. The move functionality is provided by
libparted for prior libparted versions (e.g. less than 3.0).
This is the final enhancement in a series of commits that enable
GParted to compile with libparted version 3.0.
Closes Bug #651559 - Doesn't compile against parted 3.0
This reason for refactoring is to simplify the large GParted_Core
class, to help minimize disk reads, and to group the logic for
processing the file /proc/partitions into a single logical class.

Migrate logic for alignment to cylinder into its own method
snap_to_cylinder, and place common logic in snap_to_alignment.

src/GParted_Core.cc: declared char * buf global, so it can be
initialized in copy_blocks(). This is a lot more efficient than
initializing it on every copy_block()
* include/Partition.h,
src/Partition.cc: added test_overlap()
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc: perform a readonly testrun before the actual
move if destination overlaps source.
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc: update ntfsbootsector after first sector has
changed. This is necessary to let windows boot correctly afterwards.
* src/ntfs.cc: added FIXME
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc: tried to fix a couple of errors with moving to
the right with overlap (thanks Larry for hunting ;) )
Although everything seems to work well i'm still not sure if
everything is 100% ok.
I guess everything could use some more testing, which is exactly
what i plan to do this weekend :)
* happy 24th birthday Johannes! :^)
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc: restructured resize_move() to be more robust.
This will hopefully tackle a couple of issues which came up during
the public testing.
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc: fixed some issues with combi move+shrink on
fat* and hfs* filesystems.
Also call wait_for_node() from commit() if 'node' was provided.
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc: created set_progress_info() (i actually planned
on adding some time remaining stuff, but xfiles is waiting ;) )
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc: did some work on disabling of automounting of
removable drives. The current method is not entirely to my liking
but it seems to work.
* implemented some stuff to find a good blocksize to use for
copy/move. Actually i'm not really happy with it, because probing
seems suboptimal, but it's better than nothing. As soon as i have
some time i should do some research on the subject to find a better
solution.
* include/FileSystem.h,
include/GParted_Core.h,
src/FileSystem.cc,
src/GParted_Core.cc,
src/ext2.cc,
src/ext3.cc,
src/ntfs.cc,
src/reiserfs.cc: removed cylindersize buffering during resize from
the filesystems. It is not needed anymore now we calculate the new
position before calling this.
Also added some extra progressfeedback in the core
* src/Win_GParted.cc: added FIXME:
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc,
src/fat32.cc: decoupled libparted partition and filesystemresizing.
This resulted in a much more consistent core. This also affected
several other aspects of resizing/moving in a positive way.
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc,
src/Win_GParted.cc: perform some checks before adding a new
operation to the list.
* src/Partition.cc: made get_length() a bit safer
* src/Win_GParted.cc,
include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc: implemented snap to cylinder algorithm.
Although the algorithm is very simple, it seems to work perfectly.
However, some additional testing is required.
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc,
src/ext2.cc: added movesupport, atm in experimental state and needs
lots of cleaning. only enabled for ext2, but should work for all
filesystems.
* src/DialogFeatures.cc: added alternating rowcolours (see #342682)
* include/Dialog_Partition_Copy.h,
include/GParted_Core.h,
include/OperationCopy.h,
include/Win_GParted.h,
src/Dialog_Partition_Copy.cc,
src/GParted_Core.cc,
src/OperationCopy.cc,
src/Win_GParted.cc: made blocksize settable by the user.
* Use ped_device_read and ped_device_write instead of 'dd' to copy
filesystems.
Modified progressdetails to provide more detailed feedback about a
process.
Basicly these were all changes to the infrastructure to make the
incorporation of the 'move-code' a bit easier.
( sorry, not in the mood to list all affected files ;)
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc: improved disabling of automounting. It's still
somewhat crude, but right now it's ok for some semi-public testing.
I'll do some cleanups tomorrow morning.
* src/Dialog_Progress.cc: added FIXME
* include/GParted_Core.h,
src/GParted_Core.cc: an initial solution for the automount problem.
I still need to add something to prevent just created partitions from
getting mounted. (see #324220 for more info)
* changed the way devices and partitions store their devicepaths.
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..
Also fixed a nasty bug which showed up when you copy a partition
from one device to another. (thanks to mario for the report)
