413 * libparted/linux.c (_device_get_sector_size): renamed to
414 '_device_set_sector_size'
415 * libparted/linux.c (_device_set_sector_size): sets real sector size now
417 * libparted/linux.c (_device_probe_geometry): calls 'device_set_sector_size'
419 * libparted/linux.c (init_ide): added stub for setup of
420 'PedDevice.phys_sector_size'.
421 * libparted/linux.c (_blkpg_add_partition): added assertion for 'disk'.
422 * doc/parted.texi (Related Software and Info): updated URLs for 'yaboot'
424 * doc/parted.texi (Related Software and Info): parted@gnu.org ->
426 * doc/parted.texi (unit): corrected note on sector size.

431 * parted/parted.c (do_print): add 'free' argument that display information
432 about disk freespace.
434 2005-11-05 Leslie Polzer <leslie.polzer@gmx.net>
435 * parted/ui.c: updated wording of bug reporting instructions
436 * libparted/disk_gpt.c: updated to work with block sizes > 512 bytes
438 2005-11-02 Leslie Polzer <leslie.polzer@gmx.net>
441 2005-10-28 Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
442 * libparted/fs_hfs/journal.c, libparted/fs_hfs/hfs.c: fix some exception
444 * libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_format_custom): remove unused variable "result".
446 2005-10-25 Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
447 * libparted/disk_mac.c (_disk_add_part_map_entry): the function didn't
448 work when mac_disk_data->last_part_entry_num was null (when the only
449 existing partition is the partition table and the user destroy it).
451 2005-10-24 Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
452 * parted/parted.c (prefer_snap): incorrectly chose MOVE_STILL instead
453 of MOVE_UP or MOVE_DOWN if both weren't activated.
455 2005-10-15 Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
456 * libparted/filesys.c (_probe_with_open): The file system was considered
457 valid if the open method was not implemented. Now openable file systems
458 are considered first (if one and only one is successfully opened,
459 return it), then if only one non openable file system is remaining,
460 return it (else return NULL).
462 2005-10-14 Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
463 * libparted/disk_dos.c (_log_meta_overlap_constraint): ignore inactive
465 * parted/parted.c (snap_to_boundaries): didn't reliably work since the
466 range is variable, complete rewrite.
467 * parted/parted.c (try_snap): was called by snap_to_boundaries, removed.
468 * parted/parted.c (prefer_snap): new function called by snap_to_boundaries,
469 detect if the sector should be snaped to the begining of the partition
470 it belongs to, or to the end.
472 2005-10-13 Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
473 * libparted/disk_gpt.c (add_metadata_part): don't forget to free the
474 constraint if adding the metadata partition failed.
476 2005-10-04 Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
477 * doc/parted.texi: Unit command description added, based on what
478 was previously in 2.2 Using GNU Parted (which has been replaced
479 by a reference to the unit command...). Also various fixes in
480 @copying layout and some typos fixes.
482 2005-10-03 Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org>
485 2005-10-03 Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
486 Applied patch from Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>:
487 * libparted/linux.c (_device_get_part_path): check for devfs-style /disc
488 without even testing if _have_devfs(), because udev can be used instead
489 with the same behavior.
491 2005-10-02 Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
492 Applied patch from Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org>:
493 * include/parted/device.h: PED_DEVICE_UBD added in PedDeviceType.
494 * libparted/linux.c (_device_probe_type): recognize UML UBD devices.
495 * libparted/linux.c (linux_new): handle UML UBD devices.
497 2005-09-21 Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
498 * po/id.po: added (thanks to Arif E. Nugroho <arif_endro@yahoo.com>)
500 * doc/parted.8: updates from A. Costa <agcosta@gis.net>
501 Applied patch from Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org>:
502 * libparted/disk_dos.c (probe_partition_for_geom): Fix compiler warnings
503 while compiling with gcc 4.0.
504 * libparted/disk_sun.c (sun_read): bugfix - recognize partitions on sun
507 2005-08-22 Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
508 * libparted/disk_dos.c (_align_logical_no_geom): removed
509 _calc_min_logical_start() and use a true constraint instead, generated by
510 the new _log_meta_overlap_constraint(). This constraint should enforce
511 necessary gaps between logical partitions to fit the linked list of
512 partition tables. This should get ride of the infamous Assertion
513 (metadata_length > 0) failed bug for extended msdos disklabels generated
515 * libparted/disk_dos.c (_align_logical): also use
516 _log_meta_overlap_constraint() as mandatory.
518 2005-08-21 Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
519 * libparted/unit.c (parse_chs, ped_unit_parse_custom): set *range to NULL
520 and *sector to 0 on failure.
521 * parted/ui.c (command_line_get_sector): set *value to 0 on failure.
522 * parted/parted.c (do_mkpart, do_mkpartfs, do_move, do_resize): more memory
523 leak fixes (range_start, range_end).
525 2005-08-10 Leslie Polzer <leslie.polzer@gmx.net>
526 * parted/ui.c: updated wording of bug reporting instructions
529 2005-08-09 Leslie Polzer <leslie.polzer@gmx.net>
530 Applied patch from Eduardo Righes <eduardo@tteng.com.br>, HP Brazil:
531 * include/parted/disk.h, libparted/disk.c, libparted/disk_gpt.c:
532 hidden partitions support and command to set MS Reserved partitions
533 through "set" command.
535 2005-08-08 Leslie Polzer <leslie.polzer@gmx.net>
536 * parted/parted.c (do_resize): fixed memory leak (range_start, range_end).
538 2005-08-03 Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
539 * libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_partition_destroy): leak correction, free
540 ((DosPartitionData*)(part->disk_specific))->orig if necessary.
541 * libparted/fs_fat/traverse.c (fat_traverse_complete): leak correction, free
543 * libparted/linux.c (_device_get_sector_size): preassign sector_size to
544 PED_SECTOR_SIZE to make Valgrind happy.
545 * parted/ui.c (command_line_get_sector): set *range to NULL in case of failure.
547 2005-08-01 Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
548 * libparted/disk_dos.c (probe_partition_for_geom): integer only calculation
549 of cyl_size and head_size, to avoid FP arithmetic approximation problems.
550 * doc/API: fixed documentation for PedUnit according to new prototypes.
552 2005-07-26 Leslie Polzer <leslie.polzer@gmx.net>
553 * parted/ui.c (command_line_get_sector): set range in default case
555 2005-07-19 Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
556 * all files: FSF address changed to
557 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA
559 2005-07-11 Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
561 HFSX and journaled HFS+ / HFSX now supported.
562 The HFS+ / HFSX allocation bitmap is saved during relocation.
564 * libparted/fs_hfs/*: cosmetic changes in ped_exception_throw calls.
565 * libparted/fs_hfs/journal.c: added.
566 * libparted/fs_hfs/journal.h: added.
567 * libparted/fs_hfs/Makefile.am: journal.c and journal.h added.
568 * libparted/fs_hfs/cache.h: new tags for journal info block (CR_BTREE_CAT_JIB)
569 and journal (CR_BTREE_CAT_JL)
570 * libparted/fs_hfs/hfs.h: journal structs (HfsJJournalInfoBlock,
571 HfsJJournalHeader, HfsJBlockInfo, HfsJBlockListHeader) described.
572 HFSJ_JOURN_IN_FS, HFSJ_JOURN_OTHER_DEV, HFSJ_JOURN_NEED_INIT,
573 HFSJ_HEADER_MAGIC, HFSJ_ENDIAN_MAGIC, HFSX_CASE_FOLDING, HFSX_BINARY_COMPARE
575 Fields dirty_alloc_map, allocation_file, jib_start_block, jl_start_block of
576 HfsPPrivateFSData added.
577 * libparted/fs_hfs/hfs.c (hfsplus_open): allocate dirty_alloc_map and open
578 allocation_file. Do not emit the warning exception about untested attributes
580 (hfsplus_close): free dirty_alloc_map and close allocation_file.
581 New HFSX descriptors hfsx_ops && hfsx_type.
582 (ped_file_system_hfs_init, ped_file_system_hfs_done): (un)register HFSX.
583 * libparted/fs_hfs/reloc.c (hfs_effect_move_extent): don't save the allocation
585 (hfs_move_extent_starting_at): save it here.
586 * libparted/fs_hfs/reloc_plus.c (hfsplus_do_move): handle journal and bitmap
588 (hfsplus_move_extent_starting_at): call to the new hfsplus_save_allocation
590 * libparted/fs_hfs/probe.c, libparted/fs_hfs/probe.h: hfsx_probe added.
591 * libparted/disk_mac.c (mac_partition_set_system): HFSX support.
592 * doc/parted.texi: updated documentation to reflect new journaled and hfsx
595 2005-07-10 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
596 * libparted/disk.c (_partition_check, _partition_check_extended): replaced
597 a specific start<=end sanity check in _partition_check_extended with
598 a generic assertion in _partition_check.
599 * libparted/parted.c (_ped_abs, _solution_check_distant, _get_left_bound,
600 _get_right_bound, _grow_over_small_freespace): removed and replaced with
601 snap_to_boundaries() et al:
602 * libparted/parted.c (snap_to_boundaries, try_snap, snap): these functions
603 do similar things to the functions above that they replace, except that
604 they constrain themselves by the recently introduced unit-specific ranges
605 rather than "small" magic numbers. In addition, it will snap to an
606 existing partition boundary to avoid consuming slightly more free space.
607 (So, it could possibly shrink or grow)
608 * libparted/disk.c (ped_disk_add_partition, ped_disk_set_partition_geom):
609 these functions now deduce if a there are no constraint solutions because of
610 overlapping problems, and throws an appropriate exception. This means
611 that lots of "Unable to satisfy constraints" messages will be replaced
612 with "Can't have overlapping partitions" messages where appropriate.
615 2005-07-06 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
616 * po/POTFILES.in: added libparted/fs_hfs/* and libparted/unit.c.

619 * po/ja.po po/nl.po: updated.
620 * libparted/disk_dvh (dvh_alloc, _handle_no_volume_header,
621 _get_extended_constraint): make the volume header partition include
622 the first sector of the disk (which contains the partition table.)
623 * libparted/disk_dvh (_handle_no_volume_header): removed the Ignore option
624 for disks without a volume header partition.
625 * libparted/disk_dvh (_get_primary_constraint, _get_extended_constraint):
626 don't align to cylinder boundaries any more.
627 * libparted/fs_ext2/ext2_block_relocator.c: added some comments.
630 2005-07-04 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
631 * include/parted/natmath.h (ped_div_round_to_nearest): added.
632 * libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_parse_custom, geometry_from_centre_radius):
633 move out-of-disk detection into geometry_from_centre_radius(), because
634 the tolerance level depends on the radius.
635 * libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_parse_custom): clip the sector inside the
636 disk, if it passed the geometry_from_centre_radius() tolerance check.
637 * libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_format_custom): round to the nearest unit.
638 * libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_format_custom): format cylinders separately,
639 because they shouldn't be rounded.
640 * libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_parse_custom): start counting at -1, so that
641 -0 is past the end of the disk.
642 * libparted/constraint.c (ped_constraint_solve_nearest): it is not a bug
643 to have no end solution.
644 * libparted/constraint.c (_constraint_get_end_range): fixed an out-by-1
645 error on the length sanity check.
646 * libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_parse_custom): reduce the radius by 1.
647 This means a location is fuzzy only to strictly less than the unit
650 2005-07-03 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
651 * include/parted/unit.h: rearranged the order of prototypes, and changed
653 * libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_get_size, get_sectors_per_cent, remove_punct):
654 rearranged order of functions.
655 * libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_format_custom): rewrote more compactly,
656 using ped_unit_get_name().
657 * libparted/unit.c (parse_chs, ped_unit_parse_custom): moved CHS parsing
658 into a new separate function.
659 * libparted/unit.c (parse_unit_suffix, ped_unit_parse_custom): moved
660 the unit parsing code into a separate new function.

664 error message / UI text strings.
666 2005-07-02 Leslie Polzer <leslie.polzer@gmx.net>
667 * libparted/unit.c: fixed off-by-one error
668 * doc/parted.texi: removed passage on ``='' notation and changed it
669 to document the new range handling.
671 2005-07-01 Leslie Polzer <leslie.polzer@gmx.net>
672 * libparted/unit.c: moved handling of negative locations to the right
675 2005-06-30 Leslie Polzer <leslie.polzer@gmx.net>

679 match new API interface.
680 * include/parted/unit.h (ped_unit_parse): changed signature to match
682 interface (added range argument).
683 * include/parted/unit.h (ped_unit_parse_custom): changed signature to
684 match new API (added ``range'' argument)
685 * include/parted/unit.h (ped_unit_get_size): added.

700 * parted/ui.c (command_line_get_integer): changed calls to
701 ped_unit_format to match new signature.
702 * parted/ui.c (command_line_get_sector): removed handling of
703 is_start_exact and is_end_exact and changed signature accordingly.
704 * libparted/unit.c: added API documentation.
705 * libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_format): rewrote call to
706 ped_unit_format_custom to match new signature.
707 * libparted/unit.c: (clip): added.
708 * libparted/unit.c (geometry_from_centre_radius): added.
709 * libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_parse_custom): removed differentiation
710 between double and long - double should be enough.
711 * libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_parse_custom): vast simplification due to

724 2005-06-15 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
725 * po/zh_TW: added. From Wei-Lun Chao <chaoweilun@pcmail.com.tw>.
727 2005-06-12 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
728 * libparted/disk_dos.c (probe_partition_for_geom): some OEM partitioning
729 software (?) has an out-by-one error for numbering the ending cylinder
730 of partitions. This change supresses any exceptions, and treats the
731 CHS information as if the correct information had been given.
733 2005-06-11 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
734 * libparted/disk_dos.c (probe_partition_for_geom): the old code couldn't
735 infer any information when the start head didn't divide the end head.
737 2005-06-04 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
738 * libparted/linux.c (init_scsi, scsi_get_product_info,
739 scsi_query_product_info, read_device_sysfs_file): Use /sys to

750 2005-06-03 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
751 * libparted/disk_mac.c (_rawpart_is_active): empty partition names with
752 the type "Apple_Free" can also be free space partitions.
754 2005-06-02 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
755 * libparted/fs_fat/fat.c (fat_check): typecast -1 to (FatCluster). (gcc
757 * libparted/linux.c (init_ide): call strip_name() on the prepared buffer
758 rather than the raw input.
760 2005-05-14 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
761 * libparted/fs_fat/fat.c (fat_check): don't complain about the information
762 sector reporting the number of free clusters as -1 ("I don't know").
764 2005-05-10 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
765 * libparted/disk_mac.c (mac_partition_set_flag): put curly braces around
766 the if body in the PED_PARTITION_BOOT case.

774 2005-03-29 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
775 * everything: more punctuation / grammatical fixes from Benno Schulenberg
776 <benno@nietvergeten.nl>.
777 * libparted/disk_dvh.c (_handle_no_volume_header): only give a lax
778 constraint on the new volume header. (Previously, if there wasn't
779 much space, then the volume header would not be created. Now, a smaller
781 * libparted/disk_dvh.c (_parse_partition, _generate_partition): retire the
782 hack in which the start of the volume header was temporarily represented
784 * libparted/disk_dvh.c (_get_strict_extended_constraint): added.
785 * libparted/disk_dvh.c (dvh_partition_align): allow the volume header
786 (extended partition) to begin on sector 0 in both strict and lax
788 * libparted/disk_dvh.c (dvh_alloc_metadata): only protect the partition
789 table with a metadata partition if the volume header (extended partition)
790 does not protect it already.
791 * libparted/disk_dvh.c (dvh_alloc_metadata): always protect the partition
792 table, but use a logical metadata partition if the volume header
793 includes the partition table.
795 2005-03-28 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
796 * everything: more punctuation / grammatical fixes from Benno Schulenberg
797 <benno@nietvergeten.nl>.

804 * parted/parted.c (_rescue_add_partition()): fixed memory leaks.
805 * parted/parted.c (_rescue_pass()): now accepts partitions that end within
806 the allowed end range. (Was previously buggy.)
807 * parted/parted.c (_rescue_add_partition()): use ped_constraint_exact()
808 to force the partition geometry to match the probed filesystem's
810 * libparted/unit.c, doc/parted.texi: changes units to match SI standards.
811 eg: Mb -> MB, Kb -> kB.
812 * libparted/libparted.c (init_disk_types, done_disk_types): put in

816 command_line_get_partition, command_line_get_fs_type,
817 command_line_get_disk_type):
818 all command_line_get_*() functions now take their default input value from
819 the same location as the output value.
820 * parted/ui.c (command_line_get_sector): "=" specifies that the user
821 would like the partition to be exactly in that location, without
822 any possibility of being moved due to alignment or other reasons.
823 * parted/parted.c (do_check, do_cp, do_mklabel, do_mkfs, do_mkpart,
824 do_mkpartfs, do_move, do_name, do_print, do_rescue, do_resize, do_rm,
825 do_select, do_set): updated to new ui.h interface.
826 * parted/parted.c (do_name): include the old name as default.
827 * everything: applied many punctuation / grammatical fixes from
828 Benno Schulenberg <benno@nietvergeten.nl>.
830 2005-03-21 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
831 * libparted/disk_mac.c (mac_partition_set_flag, _rawpart_is_lvm):
832 Now uses "Linux_LVM" in the system name, not "lvm" in the volume name.
833 * libparted/disk_mac.c (mac_partition_set_flag, _rawpart_is_raid,
834 _rawpart_analyse): Added analogous support for RAID partitions.
835 * libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_parse_custom): throw an exception if the
836 location doesn't have any numbers as input.
837 * parted/parted.c (do_print): remove padding spaces from text, and replace
838 them with numbers. This should make life easier for the translation
841 2005-03-20 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
842 * include/parted/unit.h: added.
843 * include/parted/parted.h: now includes unit.h.

846 * libparted/disk.c (ped_disk_check): use new unit.h formatting code.
847 * libparted/fs_fat/calc.c (fat_check_resize_geometry): use new unit.h
849 * parted/parted.c (do_unit): added a command for selecting the default unit.
850 * parted/parted.c (_solution_check_distant): uses new unit.h formatting code.
851 The prototype changed to include "dev", which is required to format the "%"
853 * parted/parted.c (partition_print, do_print, _rescue_add_partition):
854 uses new unit.h formatting code.
855 * parted/parted.c (do_print): changed "Minor" -> "Number".
856 * parted/ui.c (command_line_get_sector): changed to use new unit.h
857 parsing and formatting code.
858 * parted/ui.c (command_line_get_unit): added.
859 * parted/ui.h: added command_line_get_unit() prototype.
860 * doc/API: added documentation for PedUnit.
861 * parted/parted.c: updated help text to reflect change from Minor to Number.
862 * doc/parted.texi: update documentation to reflect change from Minor to Number.
863 * doc/parted.texi: update documentation to reflect units changes.
864 * include/parted/unit.h: added CHS support. (PED_UNIT_CHS)
865 * libparted/unit.c: added CHS support.
866 * parted/parted.c: display the size of partitions, except if the unit is CHS.
868 2005-03-20 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
871 2005-03-14 Chris Lumens <clumens@redhat.com>
872 * libparted/fs_fat/fat.h: Change name to a char array in _FatDirEntry.
873 * libparted/fs_fat/traverse.c (fat_dir_entry_is_active): One last unsigned
874 char vs. char compiler warning fix.
875 * libparted/device.c: Functions named things like read, write, and check
876 can be implemented as macros which will get expanded here and cause
877 problems. Surround the names with parentheses to prevent macro expansion.
878 * libparted/linux.c (_mount_table_search): Ignore sccanf result.
880 2005-03-11 Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
881 * libparted/fs_hfs/hfs.c, libparted/fs_hfs/reloc.c,
882 libparted/fs_hfs/reloc_plus.c: Make use of ped_geometry_sync_fast in hfs
885 2005-03-08 Chris Lumens <clumens@redhat.com>
886 * libparted/disk_amiga.c, libparted/disk_gpt.c, libparted/disk_pc98.c,
887 libparted/disk_sun.c, libparted/linux.c, libparted/fs_hfs/reloc.c: Fix up
888 unsigned char vs. char compiler warnings.
890 2005-03-07 Chris Lumens <clumens@redhat.com>
891 * libparted/disk_mac.c: support LVM on PPC by setting the proper flags on the
892 partition (patch from Paul Nasrat <pnasrat@redhat.com>).
894 2005-03-06 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
895 * libparted/disk_sun.c: many changes, including:
896 - replaced hw_geom with bios_geom.
897 - disk_specific->length is now set to cylinder_size * label->ncyl.
898 - label->acyl is now set to 0 by default.
900 2005-03-05 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
901 * doc/parted.8: changed "mips" to "dvh" to be consistent with the Parted
903 * doc/parted.texi: added http:// and ftp:// onto some URLs.
905 2005-03-04 Chris Lumens <clumens@redhat.com>
906 * libparted/fs_fat/context.c: fix casting typo.
907 * include/parted/constraint.h, libparted/constraint.c: remove
908 ped_constraint_none that wasn't being referenced anywhere.
910 2005-03-04 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
911 * libparted/fs_fat/count.c (flag_traverse_fat): in the assignment to
912 cluster_info [clst].units_used, store 0, rather than 64. The code
913 has the same semantics, but no gcc4 compiler warning. (0 == 64 when
914 you use 6-bit integers; 0 is interpreted as 64 in all relevant code)
915 (problem reported by Chris Lumens <clumens@redhat.com>)
917 2005-02-19 Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
918 * libparted/fs_hfs/hfs.c (hfs_resize): do nothing when nothing to do.
919 * libparted/fs_hfs/hfs.c (hfsplus_resize): do nothing when nothing to do.
920 * libparted/fs_hfs/hfs.c (hfsplus_open): leak in the error handling code
923 2005-02-17 Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
924 * include/parted/device.h (_PedDeviceArchOps): field sync_fast added.
925 * include/parted/device.h (ped_device_sync_fast): added.
926 * include/parted/geom.h (ped_geometry_sync_fast): added.
927 * libparted/device.c (ped_device_sync_fast): added.
928 * libparted/geom.c (ped_geometry_sync_fast): added.
929 * libparted/gnu.c (gnu_dev_ops): sync_fast pointing to gnu_sync added.
930 * libparted/linux.c (linux_sync_fast): added.
931 * libparted/linux.c (linux_dev_ops): sync_fast pointing to linux_sync_fast
933 * doc/API : new ped_device_sync_fast and ped_geometry_sync_fast API
936 2005-02-14 Chris Lumens <clumens@redhat.com>
937 * parted/parted.c : on the help for the mkfs, mkpart, and resize commands,
938 only list filesystem types that are supported
940 2005-02-02 Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
941 * integrated HFS Patch 16 :
942 * libparted/fs_hfs/hfs.c
943 * libparted/fs_hfs/hfs.h
944 * libparted/fs_hfs/probe.c
945 * libparted/fs_hfs/probe.h
946 * libparted/fs_hfs/cache.c
947 * libparted/fs_hfs/cache.h
948 * libparted/fs_hfs/advfs.c
949 * libparted/fs_hfs/advfs.h
950 * libparted/fs_hfs/file.c
951 * libparted/fs_hfs/file.h
952 * libparted/fs_hfs/reloc.c
953 * libparted/fs_hfs/reloc.h
954 * libparted/fs_hfs/advfs_plus.c
955 * libparted/fs_hfs/advfs_plus.h
956 * libparted/fs_hfs/file_plus.c
957 * libparted/fs_hfs/file_plus.h
958 * libparted/fs_hfs/reloc_plus.c
959 * libparted/fs_hfs/reloc_plus.h
960 * libparted/Makefile.am : modified according new source files listed above
961 * libparted/disk_mac.c (mac_partition_set_system): tag partition with type
962 "Apple_HFS" if the filesystem is "hfs+" in addition to "hfs"
963 * debug/test/test_fs_hfs : new non-regression tests for hfs
964 * debug/test/test_fs_hfsplus : new non-regression tests for hfs+
965 * debug/test/test (ped_test_get_val): allow bash evaluation of $post_command
966 * doc/parted.texi (Supported File Systems): added resize operation for hfs
967 and hfs+, and a note stating they can only be made smaller.
968 * doc/parted.texi (Command explanation Resize): talk about hfs.
970 2005-01-16 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
973 2005-01-10 Sven Luther <luther@debian.org>
974 * libparted/disk.c, doc/parted.texi : renamed prep-boot prep partition name to
977 2005-01-08 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
978 * libparted/linux.c (linux_disk_commit): if the BLKPG method fails, try
979 the BLKRRPART method.
981 2005-01-06 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
982 * libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_write): put in a unique identifier (which
983 is misleadingly called the "MBR signature" by Microsoft docs and
984 EFI specs). Based on a patch by Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>.
986 2005-01-05 Sven Luther <luther@debian.org>
987 * include/parted/endian.h : fixed PED_SWAP macros missing (), since it broke
988 on 64bit hardware as shown in the PED_CPU_TO_BE32(part ? part_num : LINK_END)
989 code snipplet, which applied the uint32 cast to part, and not the value.
990 * libparted/disk_amiga.c, libparted/fs_amiga/amiga.c : Added some uint32 casts.
992 2005-01-05 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
993 * libparted/disk_sun.c (sun_alloc, sun_read, sun_write): fixed
994 cylinder recording stuff. pcylcount is now 2 more, and ncyl is now
995 2 less than it was before.
996 * libparted/filesys.c (ped_file_system_clobber): removed a useless
997 (always-thrown) assertion for file system support for clobbering.
999 2004-12-26 Harley D. Eades III <hde@grics.net>
1000 * libparted/gnu.c (gnu_new): Added three new variables ro_err, rw_err and
1001 ispath. The ispath variables is set to 1 if path is indeed a path and not a
1002 store type name. This prevents having to use strchr more then once. Added
1003 a check for determining if the inputted path is a path and not a store-type
1004 name. If (const char *)path is a path then use store_open (). If (const
1005 char *)path is a store-type name use store_typed_open ().
1007 2004-12-21 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1008 * libparted/linux.c (_disk_sync_part_table): removed duplicate error message.
1010 2004-12-19 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1011 * libparted/linux.c (_device_get_part_path): only treat the device as
1012 devfs if it has /disc on the end.
1013 * libparted/linux.c (_partition_get_part_dev): added.
1014 * libparted/linux.c (_partition_is_mounted_by_dev ): added.
1015 * libparted/linux.c (_partition_is_mounted): now uses
1016 _partition_is_mounted_by_dev(). This is more reliable than guessing
1017 the partition's device name.
1018 * libparted/linux.c (_device_probe_type): sets the type to
1019 PED_DEVICE_UNKNOWN on block devices that don't fall into the
1020 standard categories. This makes libparted correctly update
1021 the kernel's view of partition tables, etc.
1023 2004-12-18 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1024 * libparted/disk_dos.c (probe_partition_for_geom): improved heuristic
1025 for finding broken partition tables: test if any feasible solution
1026 geometry exists against the end cylinder rather than 1024. This
1027 heuristic now has fewer false negatives and no false positives.
1029 2004-12-18 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1030 * libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_probe): look for SBML signature at offset 0x40,
1031 rather than 0x39. (oops!)
1032 * libparted/disk_amiga.c: added (from Sven Luther)
1033 Note: I did some cleanups, added assertions, etc.
1034 * libparted/fs_amiga/affs.c: added.
1035 * libparted/fs_amiga/affs.h: added.
1036 * libparted/fs_amiga/amiga.c: added.
1037 * libparted/fs_amiga/amiga.h: added.
1038 * libparted/fs_amiga/apfs.c: added.
1039 * libparted/fs_amiga/apfs.h: added.
1040 * libparted/fs_amiga/asfs.c: added.
1041 * libparted/fs_amiga/asfs.h: added.
1042 * libparted/fs_amiga/interface.c: added.
1045 2004-12-14 Harley D. Eades III <hde@grics.net>
1046 * libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_probe): Fixed typo changed strcmp to
1049 2004-12-08 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1050 * libparted/disk_dvh.c (_generate_boot_file): zero out the boot file name
1051 record before writing the name in. Previously, there was a misplaced
1052 null-terminator that caused gcc to complain.
1054 2004-12-04 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1055 * libparted/filesys.c (ped_file_system_resize, ped_file_system_copy):
1056 only attempt to check file systems if checking is implemented for
1057 that file system type.
1059 2004-11-29 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1060 * libparted/fs_fat/bootsector.c (fat_boot_sector_analyse): when correcting
1061 the boot sector, use fat_boot_sector_write() to make sure the backup
1062 copy gets written (if applicable).
1063 * libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_probe): don't treat Smart Boot Manager Loader
1064 boot blocks as FAT file systems.
1066 2004-11-28 Sven Luther <luther@debian.org>
1067 * libparted/disk_dos.c: Added support for the prep-boot partition type.
1069 2004-11-28 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1070 * libparted/fs_fat/boot_sector.c (fat_boot_sector_analyse): if the
1071 file system's CHS geometry is insane, then let the user fix it.
1072 This is important, because Linux refuses to mount FAT file systems
1073 with insane CHS geometry. Moreover, a few recent versions of Parted
1074 wrote some insane values here, so this allows users to fix the damage.
1077 2004-11-22 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1078 * parted/ui.c (_construct_prompt): previously forgot to assign "prompt = ..."
1079 in a realloc_and_cat() call. Patch from Woody Suwalski <woodys@xandros.com>
1081 2004-11-21 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1082 * libparted/linux.c (linux_new): get rid of pointless exception for
1083 exotic block devices.
1084 * configure.in, libparted/fs_reiserfs/reiserfs.c (reiserfs_fs_check):
1085 applied patch by Yury to do a proper file system check.
1087 2004-11-20 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1088 * libparted/disk_dos.c (probe_partition_for_geom): don't attempt
1089 to infer geometry from a partition whose end can't possibly be addressed
1090 with CHS (regardless of the CHS geometry).
1091 * libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_read): initialize bios_geom to the old
1092 value, in case no better geometry can be found.
1094 * libparted/disk_gpt.c (_generate_header): changed a misleading comment
1095 "per 1.02 spec" -> "per 1.00 spec".
1096 * libparted/disk_mac.c (mac_duplicate): don't create a partition map
1097 entry - leave that for later.
1098 * libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_read): avoid infinite recursion.
1099 * libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_partition_align): refuse to resize
1100 Windows Dynamic Disk partitions.
1102 2004-11-19 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1103 * libparted/fs_fat/resize.c (create_resize_context): copy CHS info across.
1104 (Was previously uninitialized - bug)
1107 2004-11-11 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1108 * libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_partition_set_system): sun-ufs partitions
1109 now have an ID of 0xbf.
1110 * libparted/disk_dos.c (probe_partition_for_geom): rewrote with lots
1111 more comments + mathematical paranoia.
1113 2004-11-10 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1114 * libparted/disk_dos.c (realloc_metadata, msdos_read): better solution...
1115 just call msdos_read() again if the CHS geometry needs to be changed.
1116 * libparted/disk_gpt.c (write_pmbr): if the partition is longer than
1117 32-bits can fit, then write 0xffffffff as per GPT spec. Patch from
1118 Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>.
1120 2004-11-08 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1121 * libparted/disk_dos.c (realloc_metadata): stupid bug fix: reset the start/end
1122 to be the same as what they were before.
1125 2004-10-17 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1126 * libparted/disk_dos.c (probe_partition_for_geom): ignore CHS geometry
1127 if the start cylinder is greater than the end cylinder.
1128 * libparted/fs_fat/bootsector.h: add another __attribute__ ((packed))
1129 thingy to ensure the right alignment.
1130 * parted/parted.c (do_print, _rescue_add_partition): removed bogus
1131 (int) casts. (%f, what was I thinking?!)
1133 2004-09-19 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1134 * libparted/disk_dos.c: replaced magic number 1023 with MAX_CHS_CYLINDER,
1135 and set this constant to >1021 rather than >=1023. Some partition tables
1136 in the wild have 1022 as a "partition-too-big-for-CHS" indicator.
1139 2004-09-13 Harley D. Eades III <hde@grics.net>
1140 * libparted/gnu.c (_device_probe_geometry): Variable declaration had
1143 2004-09-08 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1144 * libparted/disk_dos.c (realloc_metadata, read_table): added an ugly hack to
1145 force metadata to be reallocated according to the new BIOS geometry.
1146 * libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_alloc_metadata): yet another overlapping case
1147 I missed: the extended partition's partition table area needs to be
1148 small enough to leave room for the logical partition (or logical partition
1149 table) that follows it.
1150 * libparted/linux.c (linux_check): s/int/PedSector/ to be on the safe side.
1152 2004-09-07 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1153 * libparted/gnu.c (_device_probe_geometry): fixed compile bug with the
1154 bios_geom initialization, and now initializes hw_geom as well.
1156 2004-09-06 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1159 2004-09-05 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1160 * libparted/disk_dos.c (partition_probe_bios_geometry): fixed the
1161 call ped_partition_is_active... it wasn't a function call before!
1163 2004-09-04 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1164 * libparted/disk_dos.c (chs_get_sector): a bitmask operation is more elegant.
1165 * libparted/disk_dos.c (chs_to_sector, probe_partition_for_geom):
1166 replaced 1022 with 1023 for consistency.
1167 * libparted/disk_dos.c (probe_partition_for_geom): added assertions that
1168 test if the goal has been met.
1169 * libparted/disk_dos.c (read_table, msdos_alloc_metadata):
1170 Use PED_PARTITION_NORMAL instead of 0.
1171 * libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_alloc_metadata, add_startend_metadata):
1172 Now make sure the placeholder/metadata partitions never overlap with real
1173 partitions. Should get rid of the "overlapping partitions" error message
1177 2004-09-03 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1178 * libparted/disk_dos.c (disk_probe_bios_geometry): check if the partition
1179 is active before querying if it has the boot flag set. This prevents
1180 some spurious error exceptions from ped_partition_get_flag().
1181 * libparted/disk_dos.c (read_table): if we have an invalid partition table
1182 signature, we now ignore the entire partition table rather than processing
1185 2004-08-31 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1186 * doc/API: fixed PedDevice documentation.
1187 * libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_partition_duplicate): now duplicates
1188 partition->dos_data->orig.
1190 2004-08-29 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1191 * libparted/linux.c (_mount_table_search): now works by comparing device
1192 major/minor rather than device names.
1193 * libparted/linux.c (_partition_is_mounted, _partition_is_mounted_by_path,
1194 linux_is_busy): minor cosmetic changes.
1195 * parted/parted.c (_partition_warn_busy): removed the "Ignore" option.
1196 Users *must* unmount!
1198 2004-08-17 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1199 * libparted/exception.c (log2): renamed to ped_log2 to avoid clash with
1200 a new gcc builtin. Bug reported by David Ronis (thanks!)
1202 2004-08-16 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1205 2004-08-15 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1206 * include/parted/device.h (PedDevice): replaced sectors, heads, cylinders
1207 with hw_geom and bios_geom.
1208 * libparted/disk_dos.c: rewrote to use better heuristics and have a more
1209 "subjective" view of CHS geometry. (i.e. each partition's "opinion"
1211 * configure.in parted/Makefile.am: fixed linker invocation. Rumored
1212 to fix ppc64 build issues. Sent by Jeremy Katz <katzj@redhat.com>.
1214 2004-06-26 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1215 * libparted/disk_dos.c (read_table): big cleanup
1216 * libparted/disk_dos.c (read_table, process_bad_chs): now probes Microsoft
1217 file systems for BIOS CHS geometry. This idea was suggested by
1218 Steffen Winterfeldt <snwint@suse.de>.
1220 2004-06-21 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1221 * libparted/disk_dvh.c: some cleanups and change to fill in all fields in the
1222 header from Eric Sandeen (sandeen@sgi.com)
1224 2004-06-16 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1225 * libparted/fs_fat/bootsector.c: bs->cluster_size is 8-bit; removed byteswap.
1226 Patch from John Gilmore gnu@toad.com (thanks!)
1228 2004-05-01 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1229 * libparted/debug.c include/parted/debug.h (ped_assert): change prototype
1230 to have all (pointer) parameters to be const. (char* -> const char *)
1232 2004-04-25 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1233 * libparted/linux.c (linux_read, linux_write): don't do the kludge ioctl
1234 for linux >= 2.6.0. Patch from Matt Domsch. (Thanks!)
1235 * libparted/fs_reiserfs/geom_dal.c, libparted/geom.c, libparted/gnu.c,
1236 libparted/linux.c: trivial patch to move pointers dereferences after
1237 "not-NULL" assertions. Patch from Guillaume. (Thanks!)
1240 2004-04-16 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1241 * libparted/disk_mac.c (mac_alloc): fixed incorrect malloc() check
1242 (alex.kiernan@thus.net)
1243 * libparted/linux.c (_device_get_sector_size): always return a sane value.
1244 * added new translation: it (thanks to Giuseppe Sacco)
1245 * added new translation: uk (thanks to Maxim V. Dziumanenko)
1248 2004-04-04 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1249 * re-ran libtoolize. (Patrick LoPresti <patl@users.sf.net> pointed out that
1250 ltmain.sh was way out of date)
1253 2004-03-27 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1254 * configure.in: removed intl/ from AC_OUTPUT
1257 2004-03-20 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1258 * libparted/disk_sun.c: avoid endian conversion on a constant (Sven Luther)
1259 * libparted/linux.c (BLKGETSIZE64): pass type directly, not sizeof().
1261 * libparted/fs_reiserfs/reiserfs.h libparted/fs_ufs/ufs.c: fix padding sizes
1263 * include/parted/disk.h libparted/disk_dos.c: add HP palo partition type.
1267 2004-03-11 gettextize <bug-gnu-gettext@gnu.org>
1268 * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add m4.
1269 (SUBDIRS): Remove intl.
1270 (ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS): New variable.
1271 (EXTRA_DIST): Add config.rpath.
1272 * configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Add m4/Makefile.
1274 2003-07-26 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1275 * added new translation: zh_CN (thanks Wang Li :)
1276 * updated translation: tr
1279 2003-07-21 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1280 * applied updated translations: cs, fr, ja, pl
1282 2003-06-30 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1283 * libparted/disk_*.c (*_partition_duplicate): added new_part->num = part->num
1284 or result->num = part->num.
1285 * libparted/fs_ext2/ext2.c (ext2_open): changed "not cleanly unmounted"
1286 from a warning to an error, and default to cancel. Added a message saying
1287 not ignoring could cause severe corruption.
1288 * parted/parted.c (_partition_warn_busy): added a message saying not ignoring
1289 could cause severe corruption.
1290 * released 1.6.6-pre2
1291 * libparted/fs_ext2/ext2_resize.c (ext2_resize): offer to disable dir_index,
1292 explaining how to reenable it later.
1293 * libparted/fs_ext2/ext2_fs.h libparted/fs_ext2/ext2.c: added DIR_INDEX
1294 stuff... now doesn't complain too much about dir_index.
1295 * doc/parted.texi: applied Thomas Hood's changes. (thanks!)
1297 2003-06-29 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1298 * libparted/disk.c (ped_disk_get_maximum_geom): applied a tight constraint
1299 for restoring the geometry. (It was loose before, and sometimes being
1300 reverted incorrectly. Ooops!)
1301 * parted/parted.c (start_end_msg): describe semantics of negative values.
1302 * released 1.6.6-pre1
1303 * added Czech translations (thanks Miloslav :)
1304 * updated Turkish, Danish translations
1306 2003-06-22 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1307 * applied new Polish translations.
1308 * doc/parted.texi: s/mkparted/mkpart/ (Kent Robotti's program)
1309 * libparted/disk_gpt.c: changed some large constants to LL (long long).
1310 * parted/parted.c (do_print): translate partition type names. ("primary", etc.)
1311 * switched to new autoconf/automake/libtool. This means acconfig.h was
1312 removed, and comments were added to AC_DEFINE invocations in configure.in.
1314 2003-02-23 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1315 * libparted/disk_gpt.c: applied patch from Arun Sharma <arun.sharma@intel.com>
1316 to use write version 1.0, not 1.02 on the table, for compatibility reasons.
1317 Insignificant for copyright purposes, IMHO.
1320 2003-02-16 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1321 * libparted/linux.c (_disk_sync_part_table): fixed an array over-run
1322 bug reported by Sven Hartrumpf <Sven.Hartrumpf@FernUni-Hagen.de>.
1323 Applied a modified version of this patch. Insignificant for copyright
1325 * doc/parted.texi: fixed somes of typos and broken URLs.
1327 2003-01-03 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1328 * released 1.6.5-pre1
1330 2002-12-26 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1331 * libparted/linux.c (_match_rd_device, _compare_digit_state,
1332 _probe_proc_partitions): added, added and modified respectively to
1333 match raid devices looking like /dev/rd/c0d0, which are not partitions.
1334 * libparted/disk_dvh.c, libparted/Makefile.am, libparted/libparted.c:
1335 renamed from everything from mips to dvh, including the file name
1336 libparted/disk_mips.c.
1338 2002-12-08 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1339 * applied updated translations: de
1341 2002-12-07 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1342 * applied updated translations: fr, gl, tr, ja
1343 * configure.in parted/Makefile.am partprobe/Makefile.am:
1344 renamed PARTED_LDFLAGS to PARTEDLDFLAGS... it was causing automake to
1345 do some odd things (name-space collision?)
1348 2002-12-06 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1349 * libparted/fs_fat/calc.c (fat_calc_sizes, fat_recommend_min_cluster_size):
1350 for fat32, try to avoid getting more than 2,000,000 clusters by increasing
1351 the cluster size. Otherwise, Windows coughs.
1352 * released 1.6.4-pre2
1354 2002-11-15 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1355 * released 1.6.4-pre1
1357 2002-11-13 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1358 * debug/test/test_fs_ext2: added a test for creating 0-length fs
1359 * doc/API: fixed docs for ped_disk_get_partition_by_sector() and
1360 ped_constraint_any()
1361 * doc/parted.texi: updated section on bootdisks
1362 * libparted/fs_fat/bootsector.c (fat_boot_sector_read): defined the
1363 role of error checking in this function better. [It should guarantee
1364 fat_boot_sector_probe_type() will work]. Added a check for
1365 bs->cluster_size != 0) to satisfy this clarification. (msw reported
1367 * libparted/linux.c (init_file): replaced assertion dev->length > 0 with
1368 a check + error message.
1369 * (_partition_is_root_device): now returns -1 ("unknown") on error
1370 * (_partition_is_mounted_by_path): re-did the logic with case statements,
1371 and now remembers if /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab are broken. Gives
1372 a better error message.
1373 * parted/parted.c (do_print): removed cruft: we don't print free-space
1375 * applied updated translations: fr, ja
1377 2002-08-31 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1378 * parted/parted.c (do_mkpart): moved ped_constraint_destroy() to just
1379 before the return, so error handling occurs correctly.
1381 2002-08-11 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1384 2002-08-10 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1385 * libparted/linux.c (_kernel_has_blkgetsize64, _device_get_length):
1386 applied patch from Matt Domsch that adds support for a new ioctl,
1388 * parted/parted.c (_done): surpress the /etc/fstab advice in script mode
1390 2002-08-08 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1391 * updated translations: da, de, es, fr, gl
1392 * new translations: tr (Turkish) - thanks EyĂźp :)
1394 2002-07-06 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1395 * doc/parted.texi: more fixes for name, print
1398 2002-07-03 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1399 * doc/pt_BR-parted.texi doc/pt_BR-FAQ: added (by Bernardo JoĂŁo Torres da
1401 * doc/Makefile.am: changes for the pt translations
1402 * doc/API: misc. fixes
1403 * doc/parted.texi: point people interested in reiserfs to reiserfs.osdn.org.ua
1404 * doc/parted.texi: updated docs for "rescue"
1405 * configure.in libparted/Makefile.am: fixed reiserfs linking issues with
1406 --enable-all-static --disable-dynamic-loading
1407 * libparted/disk.c (_disk_check_sanity): removed ugly MSDOS sanity-check.
1408 The code's well tested, and occassionally the "insane" condition occurs
1410 * libparted/disk_pc98.c (pc98_probe, check_partition_consistency): made
1411 probing a bit stricter.
1412 * libparted/fs_fat/table.c (fat_table_read): fixed a bug in the
1413 initialization of ft->cluster_count. It was calculating (incorrectly),
1414 rather than using fs_info->cluster_count. This was causing assertions to
1415 fail soon after, in some situations. This is always harmless (if you
1417 * libparted/linux.c (_mount_table_search): don't confuse "/dev/hda12"
1418 with "/dev/hda1", etc.
1419 * parted/parted.c (_timer_handler): rewrote, much simpler. Also,
1420 friendlier to epileptics!
1421 * (do_check): added a check to see if the partition in busy
1422 * (do_rescue): new implementation: now only searches in a small radius
1423 around the start for signatures. Much faster.
1424 * (wipe_line): from parted.c to ui.c
1426 2002-05-12 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1427 * updated translations: ca, es, fr, gl
1428 * debug/test/test_fs_ext2: added a test for creating "0 size" fs's. (the
1429 constraint solver should deal with this)
1430 * libparted/fs_fat/bootsector.c (fat_boot_sector_analyse): when the FATs
1431 are apparantly too small... this isn't an error! Just assume there are
1433 * partprobe/Makefile.am: move @PARTED_LIBS@ to end of partprobe_LDADD.
1434 Static linking (--enable-all-static) failed without this.
1437 2002-04-30 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1438 * doc/parted.texi: removed duplication of commands
1439 * updated translations: ca, es
1442 2002-04-28 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1443 * parted/Makefile.am: moved @PARTED_LIBS@ after libparted in the parted
1444 rule, to satisfy dependencies correctly (--enable-all-static seemed
1446 * doc/parted.texi: updated to reflect current state of reiserfs support.
1447 Also updated legal notices to match the current situation.
1448 * doc/pt_BR-parted.8: added (thanks Minami!)
1449 * doc/Makefile.am: some automake gymnastics to get pt_BR-parted.8 installed
1451 * updated translations: de, fr, gl, ja
1452 * debug/test/fs_reiserfs: added reiserfs regression tests
1453 * libparted/fs_reiserfs/reiserfs.c (reiserfs_get_create_constraint):
1454 was setting the minimum size too low, since it was returning in (4k) blocks,
1455 not libparted 512 blocks.
1456 * released 1.6.0-pre11
1458 2002-04-25 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1459 * libparted/fs_reiserfs/reiserfs.c libparted/fs_reiserfs/reiserfs.h
1460 libparted/fs_reiserfs/geom_dal.c libparted/fs_reiserfs/geom_dal.h:
1461 basically rewrote. Now interfaces to Yura Umanets' libreiserfs
1462 which can be found at: http://reiserfs.linux.kiev.ua/
1463 This patch is mainly by Yura himself. It supplies a similar level
1464 of support to that of current ext2 support. (resize-the-end, etc.)
1465 Note: libreiserfs has not been widely tested yet. Use your own judgement.
1466 * configure.in: added a "dynamic linking" option, enabled by default.
1467 Components that support this feature will only be enabled if their
1468 respective dependencies are available at *run-time*. Only reiserfs
1469 supports this. (It has a *soft* dependency on libreiserfs)
1470 * released 1.6.0-pre10
1471 * libparted/fs_fat/bootsector.c libparted/fs_fat/bootsector.h
1472 (fat_boot_sector_probe_fat_type): renamed from probe_fat_type(), and
1474 * libparted/fs_fat/fat.c (fat_probe): doesn't fail on failure in
1475 fat_boot_sector_analyse() anymore.
1477 2002-04-23 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1478 * updated translations: fr.po gl.po
1479 * debug/tests/test_fs_ext2 (test_mkpartfs): added test for creating 0
1480 size file system. (Should succeed, by constraint solver finding closest
1482 * libparted/disk_gpt.c (gpt_alloc): minor bug fix (forgot /512)
1483 * (gpt_partition_new): forgot to initialize gpt_part_data->hp_service
1484 * libparted/fs_ext2/ext2_mkfs.c (ext2_mkfs): complain if the fs is too small
1485 * (_ext2_get_create_constraint): oops, the minimum size needs to be 64
1487 * libparted/timer.c (ped_timer_update): need to cast to long, because the
1488 language lawyers tell us it is necessary for ia64
1489 * parted/parted.c (_timer_handler): moved fflush() and cleaned up a bit
1490 * (_solution_check_distant): better heuristic
1491 * (main): script mode now means "non-interactive mode". This might hurt
1492 some people... please scream if it does!
1493 * parted/ui.c (command_line_get_word): minor changes in semantics.
1494 * (command_line_get_sector): use doubles, not long doubles. (yet-another
1495 gcc bug work-around)
1497 2002-04-10 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1498 * "all over": moved #include <libintl.h> and friends inside #ifdef ENABLE_NLS
1499 (reported by umanets)
1500 * libparted/disk_mips.c (_flush_stale_flags): moved outside of
1501 #ifdef DISCOVER_ONLY (reported by Umanets :)
1502 * updated translations: es
1503 * include/parted/disk.h libparted/disk.c: added a flag PED_PARTITION_HPSERVICE
1504 * libparted/disk_gpt.c (gpt_partition_set_flag): fixed... wasn't setting system
1505 * libparted/disk_gpt.c: added the hp-service flag
1506 * libparted/fs_ufs/ufs.c: fixed struct ufs_super_block... wrong types for
1507 some fields... and added an assertion to ped_file_system_ufs_init() to
1508 make sure it's right (reported by Richard Hirst)
1509 * released 1.6.0-pre9
1511 2002-04-08 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1512 * "all over": #include <stdint.h> and use standard types
1513 * configure.in: removed checks for __u8 and friends
1514 * updated translations: de, fr, gl, nn
1515 * libparted/disk_gpt.c: comment out __attribute__ ((packed))... work around
1517 * released 1.6.0-pre8
1519 2002-04-05 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1520 * libparted/linux.c (_flush_cache): count from 1. (first partition is 1)
1521 * (_device_get_part_path): was a bit broken for devfs, causing segfaults
1522 * libparted/fs_fat/fat.c (fat_clobber): remove the "FAT16" or "FAT32"
1523 signatures as well, since lots of programs look for them.
1524 * parted/ui.c (non_interactive_mode): push each argument on as a line,
1525 so quoted parameters are parsed correctly, like "mkpartfs primary"
1526 is parsed as two words.
1527 * libparted/disk_mac.c (_rawpart_analyse): ignore boot region stuff,
1528 so it works properly with Mac OSX.
1529 * released 1.6.0-pre7
1531 2002-04-02 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1532 * libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_probe): removed lots of pc98 voodoo... really
1533 unnecessary since pc98_probe() is very conservative.
1535 2002-04-01 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1536 * updated/new translations: da, de, es (new! thanks Vicente!), fr, gl, nn
1537 * doc/parted.8: updated (Timshel)
1538 * doc/partprobe.8: added (Timshel)
1539 * doc/parted.texi: updated - removed a lot of (now) unnecessary commentary
1540 * include/parted/endian.h (PED_LE64_TO_CPU): fixed... now uses PED_SWAP64
1541 * libparted/fs_linux_swap/linux_swap.c: complete restructure
1542 * parted/parted.c (do_check): return failure if ped_file_system_check()
1544 * (do_mkpart): removed leak on peek_word
1545 * (do_print, partition_print_flags, partition_print): added a more
1546 detailed print option for a single partition. (eg: "print 5")
1547 * parted/ui.c (command_line_get_fs_type): s/unkown/unknown/
1548 * (_can_create_primary): out-by-one bug on for loop
1549 * (command_line_get_new_part_type): if you can't create anymore partitions,
1551 * released 1.6.0-pre6
1553 2002-03-23 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1554 * parted/parted.c (main): return 1 (error) if no device is found
1555 * libparted/linux.c (_dev_get_part_path): for devfs: strip off "/disc"
1556 (suggested by Woody Suwalski <woodys@xandros.com>)
1557 * libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_partition_set_system): for raid/lvm,
1558 call ped_partition_set_system(), like everyone else.
1560 2002-03-16 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1561 * parted/ui.c (command_line_push_line): rewrote, and commented more.
1562 * (command_line_get_sector): now accepts "-XXX" notation, to count from the
1563 end of the device (idea from Timshel, but rewritten to a 2-line change...)
1564 * libparted/disk.c (_partition_get_overlap_constraint): subtle fixes
1565 * parted/parted.c (do_resize): set default start/end to the old start/end
1566 * debug/test/test_disk_*: updated tests to test for correction (rather than
1567 failure) of overlap problemas (via the constraint solver)
1568 * updated translations: fr, gl, ja
1569 * released 1.6.0-pre5
1571 2002-03-13 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1572 * libparted/filesys.c (_test_open): now calls fs_type->ops->close,
1573 not ped_file_system_close(), to be consistent with the call to
1574 fs_type->ops->open() (it opens in a non-standard way).
1575 This also happens to fix a dev->open_count bug, since
1576 ped_file_system_close() calls ped_device_close().
1578 2002-03-11 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1579 * libparted/linux.c (_flush_cache): only flush partition devices if they
1581 * libparted/constraint.c (_constraint_get_end_range): fixed fencepost
1582 (out-by-one) error in maths
1583 * libparted/disk.c (_partition_get_overlap_constraint): rewrote, this
1584 time running in update mode.
1585 * (ped_disk_add_partition, ped_disk_set_partition_geom): adjusted to
1586 call _partition_get_overlap_constraint() in update mode. Much
1587 cleaner now :) (Also, there were subtle cases that were broken
1588 before, that are correct now, since neither function require
1589 the disk to be in update mode...)
1590 * applied updated translations: ca da de
1591 * libparted/linux.c (_flush_cache): set the device to clean after flushing
1592 * released 1.6.0-pre4
1594 2002-03-09 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1595 * libparted/disk_dos.c: applied patch from Andreas Dilger... replaced
1596 partition magic values with #defines
1597 * libparted/linux.c (_disk_sync_part_table): applied patch from Andreas
1598 Dilger... delete all non-busy partitions and add them all back, to
1599 avoid overlap problems
1601 2002-03-09 Timshel Knoll <timshel@debian.org>
1602 * libparted/disk_mips.c (_handle_no_volume_header): fixes to "variable might
1603 be used uninitialised in this function" compile warnings. (The wrong
1604 exit goto was being called from the PED_EXCEPTION_CANCEL case)
1605 * parted.m4: don't call AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_REQUIRE(AC_CANONICAL_HOST)
1606 instead! This fixes getting an autoconf warning about AC_CANONICAL_HOST
1607 being invoked multiple times
1609 2002-03-03 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1610 * libparted/device.c (_ped_device_probe): don't need to canonicalize
1611 the path (again). (pointed out by Andreas)
1612 * libparted/disk.c (_partition_get_overlap_constraint,
1613 _disk_check_part_overlaps, _partition_check_basic_sanity,
1614 _check_extended_partition, _check_partition¸ ped_disk_add_partition,
1615 _calc_aligned_geom, _check_new_extended_geometry, _check_changed_geometry,
1616 ped_disk_set_partition_geom, ped_disk_get_max_partition_geometry):
1617 major surgery: when creating/modifying a partition, we compute an overlap
1618 constraint rather than checking if the partition overlaps after going
1619 through the alignment process
1620 * libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_partition_set_system): check fs_type is
1621 non-null, and get the strcmp right (needed a !)
1622 * parted/parted.c (_solution_check_distant): fixed a bug... it was
1623 only saying that >=10% bigger was "distant" (not >=10% smaller)
1624 * parted/ui.c (command_line_prompt_words): if there is one possibility,
1625 then set it to default
1626 * (command_line_get_fs_type): complain if the user doesn't type in something
1627 that matches a file system
1628 * released 1.6.0-pre3
1630 2002-02-21 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1631 * libparted/exception.c (default_handler): default_handler now writes to
1632 stderr, not stdout (patch from Andreas Dilger)
1634 2002-01-26 Anderw Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1635 * libparted/filesys.c (ped_file_system_copy): don't ped_device_close()
1636 new_fs->geom. (It's still open!) (reported by "andreas t"
1637 <FNEUWUOUTPKR@spammotel.com>)
1638 * libparted/fs_fat/resize.c (create_resize_context): copy old serial number
1639 on resizing (fs_info->serial_number) (reported by Andreas Dilger)
1640 * libparted/linux.c (_probe_proc_partitions): use fgets(), so we don't barf
1641 on junk at end-of-line (patch by Andreas Dilger)
1642 * (linux_probe_all): call _probe_standard_devices unconditionally...
1643 /proc/partitions might give devfs paths, even if there is no devfs,
1644 making /proc/partitions somewhat useless :/
1645 * included new/updated translations: 1.6: fr, nn 1.4: ca, da, de
1646 * released 1.6.0-pre2
1648 2002-01-24 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1649 * libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_probe): changed strcmp (x, "FAT") to
1650 strncmp (x, "FAT", 3)... stupid bug
1652 2002-01-23 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1653 * libparted/filesys.c (ped_file_system_open): now calls fs_type->ops->open
1654 on the probed geometry returned by fs_type->ops->probe. If this doesn't
1655 lie within the geometry passed to ped_file_system_open, then we complain
1656 loudly. Also, this means that:
1657 ped_geometry_test_inside (geom,
1658 ped_file_system_probe_specific (fs->type, geom))
1660 * doc/parted.texi doc/USER/Makefile.am doc/fdl.texi doc/COPYING.doc:
1661 replaced plaintext docs with texinfo versions. This conversions was
1662 done by Richard M. Kreuter (thanks!)
1663 * released 1.6.0-pre1
1665 2002-01-21 Matt Domsch <matt_domsch@dell.com>
1666 * libparted/disk_gpt.c (gpt_probe, _is_pmbr_valid): needed a few
1667 PED_CPU_TO_LEXX conversions to be safe
1668 * (swap_uuid_and_efi_guid, gpt_alloc, gpt_partition_new): Due to Intel
1669 madness, RFC-defined UUIDs and GUIDs and Intel's specification
1670 of efi_guid_t aren't quite the same. Close, but no cigar...
1671 So, uuid_generate(uuid) gives a perfectly valid big-endian uuid, but needs
1672 to have some fields byte-swapped to be considered an efi_guid_t. Likewise,
1673 an efi_guid_t needs to be byte-swapped back to a big-endian uuid prior to
1674 calling uuid_unparse() on it.
1676 2002-01-20 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1677 * libparted/linux.c (linux_refresh_close): only flush caches if there have
1679 * updated po/nn.po (thanks Kjetil)
1680 * debug/test/HOWTO: wrote/added
1682 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1684 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1686 2002-01-16 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1688 updated the user documentation, fixed minor FAT bugs, major MIPS
1689 partition table bugs, minor changes to UI, fixed all regression tests
1691 * debug/clearfat/clearfat.c (main): check if fs->type->name is fat16/fat32,
1693 * debug/test/test (ped_test_get_val, ped_test, ped_test_expect_fail):
1694 now operate in parted's script mode. Removed support for parsing input
1695 in stdin (it gets ignored in script mode)
1696 * debug/test/test_*: remove extra parameter for stdin input
1697 * debug/test/test_disk_* (test_outside_boundary): removed... the front end
1698 deals with this, and obviously works ;)
1699 * debug/test/test_disk_msdos debug/test/test_disk_pc98 (test_primary_overlap):
1701 * debug/test/test_disk_mips: added
1702 * debug/test/test_fs_ext2 (do_diff, prepare_resize_tests): to make the diff
1703 "right", make diff ignore lost+found, rather than deleting it before
1705 * debug/test/test_fs_ext2: e2fsck -n... otherwise new version refuse to run
1707 * debug/test/test_fs_fat (test_mkpartfs): added two tests for creating
1708 minimum size fat16 and fat32. Give the constraint solver some work ;)
1709 * libparted/disk_*.c (*_partition_set_system): removed "special" cases
1710 for partition types, if the special case is the default
1711 * libparted/disk_mips.c (mips_read, mips_write, mips_partition_new,
1712 mips_partition_get_flag, mips_partition_set_flag):
1713 MIPSDiskData now uses partition numbers, not pointers to maintain the
1714 swap/boot/root flags. There was a dangling pointer bug on removing
1715 partitions, which was fundamental to the old bogus design.
1716 * (_flush_stale_flags, mips_partition_enumerate): detect dangling partition
1717 nubers on swap/boot/root flags, and remove them.
1718 * (_handle_no_volume_header, mips_read): deal with missing volume header
1720 * (_generate_partition): fixed out-by-2 bug... should be ajdusting upwards
1722 * (_get_strict_primary_constraint): renamed from (_get_strict_constraint)
1723 * (_get_strict_primary_constraint): now won't "align" a partition on top
1725 * libparted/disk_pc98.c (pc98_partition_set_flag): removed old cruft wrt
1727 * libparted/disk_sun.c (sun_partition_set_flag): removed old cruft wrt
1729 * libparted/fs_fat/calc.c libparted/fs_fat/calc.h
1730 (fat_min_cluster_size, fat_max_cluster_size): added
1731 * (calc_sizes, fat_calc_sizes): replaced first parameter (geom) with a length
1732 * (calc_sizes): make the "fat_space" adjustment only if the old value was
1733 impossible. (This is what Windows does FWICT, but I need to collect more
1735 * (fat_calc_sizes, fat_calc_resize_sizes): iterate between
1736 (fat_min_cluster_size, fat_max_cluster_size)
1737 * libparted/fs_fat/fat.c (fat_create): call (fat_table_set_cluster_count),
1738 so the free cluster count is calculated properly on FAT32
1739 * (_test_resize_size): renamed from (_test_size)
1740 * (_get_min_resize_size): renamed from (_get_min_size)
1741 * (fat_get_create_constraint_fat16, fat_get_create_constraint_fat32):
1742 plugged in magic constants instead of computing. Computing is hard, and
1743 the hack used is commented out (it's fragile). Should be fixed...
1744 * libparted/fs_fat/resize.c (fat_resize, free_root_dir): when the fs
1745 is converted fat32 -> fat16, the root directory was been duplicated,
1746 but not referenced (fat16 has a separate area for the root dir). This
1747 lead to these clusters appearing as "lost clusters" in dosfsck, etc.
1748 Now, we free the root directory.
1749 * parted/parted.c (_grow_over_small_freespace): only grow over freespace
1751 * parted/parted.c (_done): give warnings about lilo and /etc/fstab
1752 * (do_mkpart): made the file system parameter optional
1753 * doc/USER: updated to match 1.5.x
1756 2002-01-14 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1758 updated API docs, fixed the regression tests, fixed UI code that
1759 does stupid things for non-interactive runs and bug fixes.
1760 * doc/API: updated to be consistent with the libparted API. This involved
1761 lots of small changes, and also the addition of the new PedTimer API.
1762 * include/parted.h libparted/libparted.c libparted/disk.c: removed the PedID
1763 interface. It was for a dead-end idea.
1764 * include/timer.h: added some comments
1765 * libparted/disk.c: misc cleanups, added assertions, etc.
1766 * libparted/disk_dos.c (read_table): merged bugfix from 1.4.x. Nested calls
1767 to read_tables() (on nested extended partitions) are moved out into a
1768 separate loop, to make sure they are called after logical partitions are
1769 added. This makes the numbering consistent with Linux and fdisk. Some
1770 versions of Disk Druid appear to make such partition tables.
1771 * libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_partition_set_flag): use part->fs_type, rather
1772 than other magic for calling ped_partition_set_system()
1773 * libparted/linux.c: removed all <linux/*> includes, and copied relevant
1775 * (linux_close): added a call to _flush_cache()
1776 * (_disk_sync_part_table): iterate to PED_MAX(last_part, 16), not PED_MIN.
1777 * parted/parted.c (_timer_handler_timer_handler): don't display a progress
1778 meter if stdout isn't a terminal.
1779 * parted/ui.c (exception_handler): don't ask the user for another chance
1780 to select an option, if stdin isn't a terminal.
1781 * (command_line_get_ex_opt): return PED_EXCEPTION_UNHANDLED on error, not
1782 0. (They are the same number... just a philosophical change)
1783 * (command_line_get_ex_opt): iterate from PED_EXCEPTION_OPTION_FIRST not 0
1784 - likewise, same number.
1785 * debug/test/test_disk_dos (test_logical_outside_extended): uncommented
1786 test, and modified to test that the constraint solver fixes this (i.e. puts
1787 the logical partition inside the extended partition)
1788 * (test_shrink_extended_too_far): likewise
1789 * (test_outside_boundary): removed. (the front end will "correct" this to
1790 a certain amount... there are enough assertions to catch problems
1792 * (test_move_primary, test_move_logical): use fat16 instead of fat. (fat
1794 * released 1.5.6-pre3
1796 2002-01-01 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1797 * renamed discover to partprobe in all occurances (the binary, the directory,
1799 * libparted/disk.c (ped_disk_check): when reporting a mismatch in
1800 partition and file system sizes, was out by a factor of 4
1801 * (_disk_alloc_freespace): wasn't allocating the first sector of the device
1802 to a freespace partition, even if it was free. (in all cases except
1803 loopback, this is occupied by partition table metadata, so it didn't
1804 manifest itself much)
1805 * parted/parted.c (_grow_over_small_freespace): rewrote, old version didn't
1806 deal with some special cases gracefully
1807 * released 1.5.6-pre2
1809 2001-12-31 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1810 * configure.in: added --enable-debug, --enable-read-only,
1811 --enable-discover-only --enable-fs, and made correspond #define's appear
1812 in config.h (via acconfig.h beaurocracy), with the macros defined as
1813 DEBUG, READ_ONLY, DISCOVER_ONLY, ENABLE_FS respectively. DISCOVER_ONLY
1814 #ifdef's out sanity checks in libparted/disk.c, and all write support
1815 in libparted/disk_*.c, and everything except probing in libparted/fs*/*
1816 * clearfat/clearfat.c: hacked up to compile to a no-op if
1817 --enable-discover-only is selected (it acceses fs_fat internals which
1818 are #ifndef DISCOVER_ONLY)
1819 * parted/debug.h: added #include "config.h", to see if it should enable
1820 PED_ASSERT (if DEBUG is defined)
1821 * include/parted/device.h (ped_device_get_part_path): removed stale prototype
1822 * include/parted/disk.h libparted/disk.c (ped_disk_commit_to_os,
1823 ped_disk_commit_to_arch): added to API and implemented.
1824 * (_ped_partition_attempt_align): added to internal API. It replaces
1825 (_try_constraint) that was cut&pasted in libparted/disk_*.c. Removed
1826 (_try_constraint), and replaced all references
1827 * include/parted/timer.h libparted/timer.c (ped_timer_destroy_nested):
1828 added to API. Calling (ped_timer_destroy) leaked the timer's context.
1829 * libparted/constraint.c (_constraint_get_canonical_start_range): fixed,
1830 so it never attempts to initialize start_min_max_range() outside the
1831 device (and thus throw an exception, etc.)
1832 * libparted/disk_*.c libparted/fs_*: removed method prototypes, and moved
1833 the vtable and registration functions to the end of the file.
1834 * libparted/disk_gpt.c: fixed endianness in *_GUID defines
1835 * libparted/disk_gpt.c libparted/disk_mac.c (_grow_over_small_freespace):
1836 removed all references, etc. Now the responsibility of the frontend
1837 * parted/parted.c (_grow_over_small_freespace, do_mkpart, do_mkpartfs,
1838 do_move, do_resize): added _grow_over_small_freespace, and do_* call it.
1839 * libparted/filesys.c (_raw_copy, _raw_copy_and_resize): added timer
1840 * libparted/fs_fat/clstdup.c (fat_duplicate_clusters, count_frags_to_dup,
1841 write_fragments): better timer heuristic
1842 * parted/ui.c (_readline): in script mode, don't call readline(), because
1843 it doesn't deal with EOF properly
1844 * parted/ui.c (screen_width): return a big number in script mode, so we
1845 don't do wrapping. (Makes parsing output easier)
1846 * parted/ui.c parted/ui.h (command_line_get_sector): now has an extra
1847 parameter, dev. This is used to "round" sectors outside of the device
1848 inside, to avoid the annoying "can't create partition outside disk"
1850 * released 1.5.6-pre1
1852 2001-12-28 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1853 * include/parted/timer.h libparted/timer.c: added timer API
1854 * include/parted/filesys.h (ped_file_system_create, ped_file_system_copy,
1855 ped_file_system_check, ped_file_system_resize): now use a timer.
1856 Updated all file systems that implement these to match the new API,
1857 and implemented basic timers.
1858 * parted/parted.c: added a timer, and use it for all FS operations than
1862 2001-12-27 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1863 * include/parted/constraint.h libparted/constraint.c: added a max_size
1864 field to PedConstraint, and updated the constraint solver, etc. to
1866 * (ped_file_system_get_create_constraint,
1867 ped_file_system_get_copy_constraint): added to API, and implemented for
1869 * parted/parted.c (do_move, do_resize, do_mkfs, do_mkpartfs): use
1870 (ped_file_system_get_resize_constraint, ped_file_system_get_copy_constraint)
1871 * applied ext2/ext3 split change that exists in 1.4.x.
1873 2001-12-18 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1874 * libparted/linux.c: applied modified patch from Hong H. Pham
1876 - (linux_disk_commit): Force reread of partition table if DevFS is active.
1877 - (_have_devfs): added, checks if the system is using DevFS.
1878 - (linux_disk_commit, _device_get_part_path): modified to use (_have_devfs).
1879 - (_get_linux_version): modified to use uname(2), rather than probing
1880 /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease. Kernel version checking is done using by
1881 using the KERNEL_VERSION() macro in <linux/version.h>
1882 Affected functions are (_device_get_sector_size, _have_blkpg).
1883 - (linux_probe_all): if (_probe_proc_partitions) fails, resort
1884 to doing a blind device probe (_probe_standard_devices). Since
1885 /proc/partitions contains all the block devices and partitions that
1886 the kernel has detected and is currently using, I do not see why we
1887 have to waste time probing for devices that do not exist, or devices
1888 that have already been probed. A few seconds in initialisation time
1889 can be saved if we avoid the blind device probe.
1891 2001-12-17 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1892 * include/parted/disk.h (set_system): added to interface
1893 * (set_extended_system): removed from interface
1894 * include/parted/filesys.h libparted/filesys.c (copy, ped_file_system_copy):
1895 now returns the newly created file system
1896 * (set_system, ped_file_system_set_system): removed. (has now become PedDisk
1897 implementations' responsibility)
1898 * libparted/disk.c (ped_partition_set_system): is now just a simple wrapper
1899 for disk->type->ops->set_system
1900 * updated all file systems and disk labels to new interface
1901 * libparted/disk_mips.c (_checksum, mips_read, mips_write): now check and set
1902 checksum appropriately
1903 * libparted/fs_fat/fat.c libparted/fs_fat/resize.c (ped_file_system_fat_init,
1904 fat_create, fat_probe, fat_copy, resize_context_assimilate): split fat_type
1905 into fat16_type and fat32_type
1906 * parted/parted.c (do_cp, do_resize): update to the new ped_file_system_copy
1907 and ped_partition_set_system interface/semantics
1908 * released 1.5.5-pre6
1910 2001-12-02 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1911 * libparted/disk_gpt.c: basically rewritten (based on the same file from
1913 * released 1.5.5-pre4
1914 * libparted/disk_mips.c: implemented
1915 * libparted/dvh.h: thieved from dvhtools
1916 * include/parted/disk_mips.h: added
1917 * po/POTFILES.IN: updated
1918 * updated all file systems to support GPT and MIPS
1919 * fixed Makefile.am, so MIPS and GPT support build properly
1920 * released 1.5.5-pre5
1922 2001-12-01 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1923 * PedDiskOps.free() now returns void
1924 * ped_disk_destroy() now returns void
1926 2001-11-29 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1927 * merged changes from 1.4.21
1928 * released 1.5.5-pre3
1930 2001-11-20 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1931 * libparted/linux.c (init_ide, init_scsi, init_file, init_generic,
1932 linux_destroy): applied patch from Hong H. Pham <hhp@unitycode.org>
1933 (with modifications). All dev->model assignments now allocate
1934 memory properly (rather than returning const strings - i.e. the old
1935 code leaked, but didn't corrupt memory), and linux_destroy() frees
1936 properly. SCSI code completely cleaned up (replaced magic numbers
1937 with good structs, etc.)
1939 2001-11-19 Neal H Walfield <neal@cs.uml.edu>
1940 * libparted/gnu.c (gnu_partition_get_path): Fix typo
1942 2001-11-14 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1943 * libparted/disk.c (ped_disk_new, ped_disk_new_fresh, ped_disk_commit,
1944 ped_disk_clobber, ped_disk_clobber_exclude): now calls ped_device_open and
1946 * libparted/disk_*.c: removed calls to ped_device_open and ped_device_close
1947 * libparted/filesys.c (ped_file_system_open, ped_file_system_create,
1948 ped_file_system_copy, ped_file_system_probe, ped_file_system_clobber):
1949 added to calls to ped_device_open and ped_device_close (on error, and for
1950 normal exit for probe and clobber)
1951 * libparted/filesys.c (ped_file_system_close): now calls ped_device_close
1953 2001-10-11 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1954 * fixed some minor bugs in libparted/gnu.c (spelling mistakes, etc.)
1955 * released 1.5.5-pre2
1957 2001-10-09 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
1958 * OVERVIEW OF CHANGES:
1959 The _arch_* functions in include/parted/device.h and
1960 include/parted/disk.h where removed, and replaced by vtables. The
1961 vtables are controlled by the ped_set_architecture() function. The
1962 motivation for this change is to allow the same libparted shared library
1963 to support multiple architectures. "architecture" could mean IBM's EVMS,
1964 or any library that wants to expose it's own virtual devices to libparted,
1965 not just "operating system".
1967 * include/parted/device_gnu.h, include/parted/device_linux.h:
1968 renamed to gnu.h and linux.h respectively
1969 * include/parted/device.h (_arch_device_new, _arch_device_destroy,
1970 _arch_device_open, _arch_device_refresh_open, _arch_device_close,
1971 _arch_device_refresh_close, _arch_device_read, _arch_device_write,
1972 _arch_device_check, _arch_device_sync, _arch_device_probe_all):
1973 removed these functions, and added them as fields to the new vtable
1974 "struct _PedDeviceArchOps". Also, a device_is_busy() method was added.
1975 * include/parted/device.h (ped_device_is_busy): added to the API
1976 * include/parted/disk.h (_arch_partition_is_busy, _arch_disk_is_busy,
1977 _arch_disk_commit): removed these functions.
1978 * include/parted/disk.h: added "struct _PedDiskArchOps". Contains
1979 methods partition_get_path, partition_is_busy and disk_commit.
1980 * include/parted/disk.h (ped_disk_is_busy): Removed from API. (Can be
1981 implemented trivially via ped_device_is_busy (disk->dev)). Is this a bad
1983 * include/parted/disk.h (ped_partition_get_path): added to the API
1984 * include/parted/parted.h (ped_set_architecture): added to the API
1985 * include/parted/parted.h: added "struct _PedArchitecture" and
1987 * libparted/Makefile.am: updated to reflect that all linux-specific stuff
1988 is now in linux.c, and gnu/hurd stuff in gnu.c
1989 * libparted/disk_arch_gnu.c, libparted/disk_arch_linux.c,
1990 libparted/device_gnu.c, libparted/device_linux.c: contents moved to
1991 libparted/gnu.c and libparted/linux.c respectively
1992 * libparted/device.c: s/_arch_/ped_architecture->dev_ops->/g
1993 * libparted/device.c (ped_device_is_busy): new function
1994 * libparted/device.c (ped_device_get_part_path): removed. Use
1995 ped_partition_get_path() instead
1996 * libparted/disk.c: s/_arch_/ped_architecture->disk_ops->/g
1997 * libparted/disk.c (ped_disk_is_busy): removed (use ped_device_is_busy instead)
1998 * libparted/disk.c (ped_partition_get_path): new function
1999 * libparted/parted.c (ped_set_architecture): new function
2000 * libparted/parted.c (ped_architecture): new global variable
2001 * parted/ui.c (_readline): call to readline needs to cast away from
2002 (const char*) to char*, due to C brain damage. (readline 4.1 assigns to a

2006 2001-10-07 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2007 * merged changes to 1.4.20-pre3, except gpt
2010 2001-08-23 Neal H Walfield <neal@cs.uml.edu>
2011 * configure.in (libshouldbeinlibc): Correct the text.
2012 (libstore): Likewise.
2014 2001-08-24 Neal H Walfield <neal@cs.uml.edu>
2015 * include/parted/device_gnu.h (ped_device_new_from_store): Remove the consume
2017 * libparted/device_gnu.c (ped_device_new_from_store): Likewise.
2019 2001-08-24 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2020 * released 1.5.4-pre3
2022 2001-08-21 Neal H Walfield <neal@cs.uml.edu>
2023 * parted.m4 (PARTED_CHECK_LIBPARTED): Renamed from AC_CHECK_LIBPARTED.
2024 There are only two resevered autoconf namespaces: AC_* and AM_*;
2025 avoid them. Be more verbose when printing error messages.
2027 2001-08-23 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2028 * doc/API: updated to reflect new (ped_device_open, ped_device_close,
2029 ped_device_new_from_*, ped_device_destroy) semantics
2031 2001-08-21 Neal H Walfield <neal@cs.uml.edu>
2032 * include/parted/device_gnu.h (_GNUSpecific): New member, consume.
2033 (ped_device_new_from_store): Prototype it.
2034 * libparted/device_gnu.c (_init_device): General PedDevice initializer ripped
2035 from _arch_device_new.
2036 (_arch_device_new): Use _init_device.
2037 (_done_device): General PedDevice destructor, ripped from _arch_device_destroy.
2038 (_arch_device_destory): Reimplemented using _done_device.
2039 (_arch_device_open): Functionality moved from here...
2040 (_arch_device_new): ... here.
2041 (ped_device_new_from_store): New function.
2042 (_arch_device_close): Do not close the store here.
2043 (_arch_device_destory): Close it here if ARCH_SPECIFIC->consume is true.
2045 2001-08-20 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2046 * include/parted/device.h (ped_device_destroy): added prototype
2047 * libparted/device.c (added ped_device_destroy): implemented
2048 * libparted/device.c (added ped_device_free_all): now calls ped_device_destroy
2049 * released 1.5.4-pre2
2051 2001-08-20 Neal H Walfield <neal@cs.uml.edu>
2052 * parted.m4: Rename AM_PATH_PARTED to AC_CHECK_LIBPARTED.
2053 (AC_CHECK_LIBPARTED): Do proper quoting.
2054 [host_os=gnu]: Check for libshouldbeinlibc and libstore.
2055 Set PARTED_LIBS to detected libraries.
2056 * configure.in: Before checking for libstore, see if an old version of
2057 libparted is installed. When checking for libstore, include all libraries
2058 that we might need (and that were detected).
2060 2001-08-20 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2061 * merged changes to 1.4.18
2063 2001-08-16 Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2064 * include/parted.c: removed ped_init and ped_done prototypes
2065 * libparted/libparted.c (ped_init, ped_done): replaced with a gcc constructor
2066 / destructor, (_init, _done), respectively.
2067 * libparted/exception.c (ped_exception_set_handler): if NULL is passed,
2068 default_handler() is set.
2069 * parted/parted.c (_init, _done): remove calls to ped_init() and ped_done()
2070 * debug/clearfat.c (main): likewise
2071 * parted/ui.c (done_ui): return to default exception handler
2072 * libparted/device.c (devices): Remove superfluous zero initializer.
2073 (thanks tim/neal/msw!)
2075 2001-08-15 Marcus Brinkmann <marcus@gnu.org>
2076 * configure.in: Correctly detect large file support using
2077 AC_SYS_LARGEFILE, not getconf LFS_CFLAGS.
2079 2001-08-12 Neal H Walfield <neal@cs.uml.edu>
2080 * configure.in: Add check for canonicalize_file_name.
2081 * config.h (HAVE_CANONICALIZE_FILE_NAME): New marcro.
2082 * libparted/device.c (_GNU_SOURCE): Enable GNU extensions.
2083 [!HAVE_CANONICALIZE_FILE_NAME] (canonicalize_file_name):
2085 (_readlink): Depreciated and removed in favor of
2086 canonicalize_file_name.
2087 (_strcut): Likewise.
2088 (_remove_double_slash): Likewise.
2089 (_remove_dots): Likewise.
2090 (_normalize_path): Likewise.
2091 (_ped_device_probe): Use canonicalize_file_name, not
2093 (ped_device_get): Likewise.
2094 * doc/API: Fix errors. Update section the section on ped_disk.
2095 * libparted/device_gnu.c (_arch_device_open): Call store_typed_open, not
2096 store_open. Don't save the error message, save the error code.
2098 August 13th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2099 * merged changes to 1.4.18-pre2
2100 * released 1.5.4-pre1
2102 August 12th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2103 * added a private OS-specific partition table interface, and moved relevant code
2104 from device.c to disk_arch_{linux,gnu}.c.
2105 * added blkpg sync support (for Linux)
2107 August 5th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2108 * fixed mkpartfs on extended partitions
2111 July 27th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2112 * moved FAT table backup comparison out of fat_open() to fat_check()
2113 * added a checked flag to PedFileSystem. ped_file_system_{copy,resize}()
2114 make sure a check happens first.
2117 July 24th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2118 * merged changes to 1.4.17
2120 July 15th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2121 * fixed jfs prober (oops)
2122 * fixed bug in ext2 mkfs code and in ext2_commit_meta(): s_block_group_nr was 0
2123 * _ext2_probe() is now intelligent about finding a superblock that has
2124 s_block_group_nr != 0: it looks for the group 0 super block.
2125 * changed the heuristics for ped_file_system_probe() and ped_disk_check(),
2126 to become less significant for when "the numbers are close". (motivation:
2127 jfs doesn't create a small block group at the end, so it doesn't utilize
2128 the fs fully. We don't want jfs to lose to ext2 in the probe, on a minor
2129 difference like this...)
2130 * merged changes to 1.4.16-pre1
2132 July 14th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2133 * added ped_constraint_new_from_{min,max,min_max}() to the constraint API,
2134 and removed their equivalents from parted/parted.c. Also, used them in
2135 libparted/disk_* where appropriate.
2137 July 13th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2138 * hacked /usr/share/aclocal/gettext.m4, replacing ac_given_srcdir with
2139 ac_srcdir. This fixes the problem of po/Makefile not being generated. (Also
2140 notified bug-gnu-utils@gnu.org) The problem seems to be that gettext 0.10.38
2141 is incompatible with autoconf 2.50.
2142 * released 1.5.3-pre1
2144 July 12th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2145 * updated reiserfs_probe(), to return the probed size, rather than what was
2146 given to it. (All that remain are hfs and ntfs)
2147 * in theory, fixed ufs's probe() (need to test this)
2148 * added xfs and jfs probe()/clobber() support (properly ;-)
2150 July 11th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2151 * added ped_disk_check()
2152 * removed assertions in file system code for fs->geom == probed geometry.
2153 (This is now done ped_disk_check())
2156 July 10th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2157 * removed PED_PARTITION_PRIMARY - think of PedPartitionType as a bit-field
2158 * changed PedFileSystemOps.probe() to return a PedGeometry* (rather than int),
2159 corresponding to the size/location of the discovered file system. Updated
2160 ped_file_system_probe() to use this as a heuristic
2161 * added a rescue command
2162 * made command_line_prompt_words() use "def" (if available) in script mode
2164 June 26th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2165 * released 1.5.2-pre3 (internally)
2167 June 23rd 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2168 * applied more GNU/Hurd patches from Neal, and autoconfused them
2170 June 17th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2171 * replaced PedGeometry's PedDisk* disk field with PedDevice* dev
2172 * released 1.5.2-pre2
2174 June 13th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2175 * backed out some experimental changes (checkpoints) in PedDisk
2176 * cleaned up autoconfusion for device_*.c
2177 * merged changes to 1.4.15-pre1
2178 * released 1.5.2-pre1
2180 March 16th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2181 * put libparted/device/* into one file
2183 January 31st 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2184 * added ped_disk_duplicate(), and implemented the code for all disk labels
2185 * added a PedDisk checkpoint API
2186 * released 1.5.1-pre1
2188 January 29th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2189 * added Sun regression tests
2190 * added non-interactive mode support to new UI
2193 January 26th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2194 * merged changes in 1.4.8-pre2
2195 * ported disk_sun.[ch] to the new interface
2197 January 25th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2198 * merged forked parted-ui branch (which was unreleased). Makes the
2199 interactive interface much cooler :-)
2200 * released 1.5.0-pre2
2202 January 24th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2203 * added ped_disk_clobber_exclude(PedDevice* dev, PedDiskType* exclude). This
2204 is now used by ped_disk_commit(), because you shouldn't clobber the old disk
2205 label, if it is of the same type, because it might contain information (like
2206 boot strapping) that we want to preserve.
2208 January 23rd 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2209 * first stage of new PedDisk interface: replaced
2210 ped_disk_{open,create,read,write,close}
2211 with ped_disk_{new,new_fresh,destroy,commit}
2212 * changed the interface between disk modules and the API, and updated the
2214 * released 1.5.0-pre1
2216 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2217 1.4.x (before fork for development version)
2218 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2220 January 18th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2221 * we now require autoconf 2.49b to build configure from configure.in,
2222 because it provides the new AC_CHECK_SIZEOF
2223 * use new AC_CHECK_SIZEOF for off_t.
2224 * changed configure.in to match the new AC_CHECK_TYPE
2225 * hacked libtool.m4 (!)... I hope this all gets fixed properly, soon...
2227 January 17th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2228 * tried to make libparted/device.c more portable
2229 * libparted/fs_fat/bootsector.h - fixed the size of the FAT16 part of the
2230 union... needed an extra byte in boot_code. (purely aesthetic ;-)
2232 January 15th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2235 January 10th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2236 * fixed ped_file_system_clobber() - wasn't leaving/fetching exceptions
2239 January 9th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2240 * fixed _calc_min_logical_start() - was horribly broken. Only affects the new
2241 work-around for "cylinder not aligned", etc.
2242 * released 1.4.7-pre4 (internally)
2243 * don't try to guess the geometry for a second time... (introduced
2244 geom_already_guessed to PedDevice)
2245 * released 1.4.7-pre5
2247 January 8th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2248 * ext2_mkfs now enables file-type by default.
2249 * ped_partition_new() (not DISK_partition_new()) calls
2250 ped_partition_set_system() now. Makes sure it calls ped_partition_set_system()
2251 for extended partitions too!
2252 * released 1.4.7-pre1 (internally)
2253 * added documentation for ped_file_system_clobber()
2254 * fixed semantics for ped_file_system_clobber() - they need to change, since
2255 ped_file_system_probe() is different...
2256 * released 1.4.7-pre2 (internally)
2257 * released 1.4.7-pre3
2259 January 6th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2260 * msdos_partition_new() if there is no file system passed, sets the system
2261 to 0x83. 0 is a bad choice, because it means it isn't a partition. It's
2262 an even worse choice, because it will make msdos_probe() fail.
2265 January 5th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2266 * "partition not aligned" workaround (similar to that in 1.2.x)
2267 * uses dgettext (PACKAGE, ...) instead of gettext (...). Updated API docs,
2268 to reflect this (for ped_partition_flag_get_name(), etc.)
2269 * released 1.4.6-pre1
2270 * fixed brain-dead bug, dealing with min_geom in _primary_constraint()
2271 in libparted/disk_dos.c
2272 * released 1.4.6-pre2 (internally)
2273 * fixed another bug (out-by-one, in _primary_constraint(), again)
2274 * added bindtextdomain() to ped_init()
2275 * released 1.4.6-pre3 (internally)
2277 January 4th 2001 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2278 * removed that annoying "Parted's boot loader" message
2279 * ped_file_system_probe() now attempts ped_file_system_open(), if there
2282 December 29th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2283 * mac_clobber() now nukes the partition map as well ;-)
2285 December 28th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2286 * documented PedConstraint and PedAlignment (doc/API)
2288 * applied BSD disk label support patch (thanks Matt!)
2290 December 27th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2291 * made incompatible change to API: changed ped_constraint_exact() now takes
2292 a PedGeometry, not a PedPartition (what was I thinking?!)
2294 December 21st 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2295 * the bug fix in 1.4.5-pre3 (wrap-around bug) was wrong. Fixed properly now.
2296 * made the FAT16 <-> FAT32 conversion messages more friendly
2297 * released 1.4.5-pre4
2299 December 20th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2300 * ext2_mkfs() now makes sparse file systems by default
2301 * rearranged ext2_mkfs() a bit, and separated generation of the super block
2302 * fixed bug in ext2_mkfs(): if there isn't enough room for per-group
2303 metadata in the last block group, then chop it off!
2304 * fixed ext2 bug in ext2_is_data_block() in ext2.h. I forgot to
2305 endian-awarenize (?) it!!!
2306 * FAT resizer now avoids changing the fat type (FAT16 or FAT32) in script
2308 * removed error checking, after the "point of no return" in the FAT resizer
2309 * updated documentation, adding info about FAT16 <-> FAT32, and boot loaders
2311 December 19th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2312 * fixed nasty wrap-around bug in fat_construct_directory() and
2313 fat_convert_directory(), when directories have their last cluster/sector
2315 * merged in FAT32 boot loader fix (now copies the "hidden sectors")
2316 * released 1.4.5-pre3
2318 December 15th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2319 * merge FAT fix from 1.2.14-pre1
2320 * Apple_Free partitions have status 0x0 (not 0x33)
2321 * released 1.4.5-pre2
2323 December 8th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2324 * fixed _ext2_get_resize_constraint(). constraint->min_size was calculated
2325 in (ext2) blocks, not 512 byte sectors. (patch from Matt Wilson)
2327 December 5th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2328 * commented out "this is not a block device", because it already warns about
2329 "this is not SCSI/IDE", etc.
2330 * added another example to the documentation
2331 * released 1.4.5-pre1
2333 December 4th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2334 * made the "unable to align partition" error message a bit more understandable,
2335 and allow the problem to be ignored.
2336 * added an assertion to ext2_is_data_block(), to make sure the block
2337 is in the file-system.
2338 * added a note about "make install-libs" for e2fsprogs
2340 November 30th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2341 * fixed a brain-dead bug in ext2_meta.c:109. This bug causes growth of ext2
2342 all file systems, that require more GDT blocks to get corrupted!!! OUCH!!!
2343 * fixed regression tests, to test GDT growth
2346 November 29th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2347 * ped_device_add() adds to the end now
2348 * added a check in /proc/partitions for devices
2349 * released 1.4.4-pre1
2351 November 28th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2352 * added error checking to both versions doinode(). Hmmm, do I like this
2353 idea of 2 doinode()'s?
2354 * finalized the copyright assignments, and now we can get rid of lots of
2355 annoying bureaucracy (read: s/Andrew Clausen, Lennert .../Free Softw.../g)
2356 * changed "cp FROM-MINOR [TO-DEVICE] TO-MINOR" to
2357 "cp [FROM-DEVICE] FROM-MINOR TO-MINOR"
2359 November 24th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2360 * added ped_file_system_clobber_exclude(), and resize/copy now use it.
2361 * fixed hfs_clobber() and reiserfs_clobber()
2364 November 19th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2365 * fixed a few mistakes in doc/USER (thanks Stefan!)
2366 * now uses the en_US locale for numbers. (quick fix, because the "lexer"
2367 isn't properly i18nized yet - I'll fix this properly next week, because
2368 I intend to do Major Surgery TM on the command parser anyway). Basic
2369 problem is: the lexer says a number is [0-9.]+, but in Europe, s/\./,/.
2372 November 16th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2373 * loop-back is now probed last.
2374 * removed dependance on <linux/fs.h>
2375 * discovered that type-casts have high precedence. oops.
2376 s/(long) EXPR/(long) (EXPR)/, which fixes seg faults on PPC.
2378 November 15th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2379 * added read-only support (useful for disk imaging from CD-ROMs)
2380 * changed default behaviour to warnings such as "not a block device" (in
2381 libparted/device.c) to PED_EXCEPTION_IGNORE.
2384 November 14th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2385 * removed the scary "development version only TM" message. OOPS!
2387 November 13th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2388 * merged in changes from 1.2.13
2391 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2393 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2395 November 11th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2396 * added ./configure --enable-all-static
2397 * mac_partition_new() now sets the name to "untitled".
2399 November 8th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2400 * added an assertion, that the disk has the PED_DISK_TYPE_EXTENDED feature,
2401 for extended partitions, in ped_partition_new()
2403 November 4th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2404 * released 1.4.0-pre8
2405 * file systems only get ped_file_system_clobber()'d if mkfs is supported for
2409 November 3rd 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2410 * fixed some bugs with the mac_partition_align() stuff
2411 * cleaned the doc/USER a bit more
2413 November 2nd 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2414 * Mac bug fixes & reorganisation
2415 * mac_partition_align() - greedily takes up free space now, if it is consistent
2416 with the constraints.
2417 * set policy for _partition_align() - must be in update mode. Changed
2418 other functions to meet this.
2419 * released 1.4.0-pre6
2420 * fixed a stupid bug introduced in 1.4.0-pre6, in libparted/disk_dos.c,
2421 read_table() Was passing a pointer to a pointer of a constraint, as opposed to
2423 * released 1.4.0-pre7
2425 October 31st 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2426 * much hacking on Mac support
2427 * merged in changes to 1.2.12-pre3
2428 * released 1.4.0-pre5
2430 October 22nd 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2431 * fixed a bug in libparted/disk_mac.c, that broke mkpart*. In
2432 mac_partition_new(), it was checking for failure, but missed out the '!'.
2433 * released 1.4.0-pre4
2435 October 21st 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2436 * commented out the linux-swap Linux 2.0 warning. It annoys more users than it
2439 * hacked around the mac-boot & no-HFS problem, by setting the file system
2440 temporarily, in mac_partition_set_system() (YUCK!)
2441 * applied a patch from Masahiro Sakai <ZVM01052@nifty.ne.jp>. Now uses
2442 mbs* as opposed to iconv. That fixes lots of brokeness, but there may be
2443 problems for utf-8 users... but this will be solved by gettext in future.
2444 * released 1.4.0-pre3
2445 * fixed the annoying linux-swap on mac bug (it was trying to set the swap
2446 flag, before setting the partition type to linux-swap, which caused the
2447 Mac disk label code to complain)
2449 October 16th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2450 * uses Apple_UNIX_SVR2 (instead of Unix)
2451 * merged 1.2.11-pre1
2453 October 15th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2454 * fixed a bug in ped_constraint_solve_nearest() - errr to complicated to
2455 explain - easier to look at the diff. Basically: I wasn't taking the
2456 intersection of the allowable start and end ranges properly, WRT min_start.
2457 * removed some memory leaks from libparted/disk_dos.c, around the constraint
2459 * released 1.4.0-pre2
2461 October 14th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2462 * fixed boot flag stuff for Mac
2463 * docs have been massively updated (ages ago...)
2464 * merged in changes to 1.2.10-pre3 (notably: malloc() debugging, and all the
2465 bugs / leaks fixed as a result ;-)
2467 September 25th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2468 * added ped_disk_remove_partition()
2470 September 24th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2471 * mac fixes: writes new signature now, s/Apple_Unix/Apple_UNIX/g
2473 September 23rd 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2474 * reiserfs_probe() - doesn't probe outside of the partition any more ;-)
2475 * lots of work on API docs
2477 September 21st 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2478 * added a bit to the documentation about how to deal with the boot disk, when
2479 it doesn't support your hardware
2480 * released 1.4.0-pre1
2482 September 20th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2483 * added the LBA partition flag
2484 * ped_partition_is_busy() - for extended partitions, now checks all logical
2485 partitions for business.
2486 * constraint solver will always satisfy constraint->min_size, if possible, now.
2487 The constraint solver is now complete (the existence of a solution implies
2488 that a solution will be found :-)
2489 * fixed semantics for _best_solution() in disk_dos.c
2490 * added documentation WRT LVM and RAID
2491 * updated documentation, to much current command set
2493 September 17th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2494 * constraint solver is a bit more expressive - the start and end of partitions
2495 are constrained independently. This allows constraints for extended partitions,
2496 keeping the extended partitions big enough to fit the logical partitions.
2497 * used the new constraint solver, to fix the extended partition Issues.
2500 September 10th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2501 * merged in changes from 1.2.8 to 1.2.9

2506 August 25th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2507 * fixed msdos_probe() - it didn't like LBA partitions
2508 * reverted ped_partition_set_flag(). Doesn't call ped_partition_set_system()
2509 anymore. What was I thinking? It's the responsibiltiy of *_set_flag() to call
2510 ped_partition_set_system().
2511 * added RAID and LVM partition flags
2512 * fixed a bug in alloc_root_dir() - now allocates enough clusters in
2513 FAT16 -> FAT32 conversions (!) Rarely does damage (and always avoidable,
2514 if you follow the advise)
2515 * fat_get_resize_constraint() is 100% accurate now (min_size wasn't accurate
2518 August 19th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
2519 * fixed ext2_mkfs() inode thingy (!)
2520 * fixed semantics of ped_partition_set_flag() - now calls
2521 ped_partition_set_system()
2522 * added "select" command
2523 * added "move" command
2524 * fixed a bug in ped_disk_set_partition_geom() - partition list wasn't getting
2525 re-ordered, if the partition was moved about.
2526 * fixed a bug in libparted/disk_mac.c:762 _disk_count_active_partitions(). It
2527 assumed that the last partition would be the highest numbered partition.
2528 * get rid of that "BIOS geometry" message for non IDE/SCSI devices, or on
2530 * merged in changes to 1.2.8

2549 * made libparted/fs_ext2/* big-endian-aware
2551 July 27th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>

2564 * changed fat_set_system(), to preserve original ID when possible.
2565 * changed _ext2_set_system() and swap_set_system(), to correct "bootable"
2566 flag. (Linux/98 uses this flag to make a distinction between ext2 and
2569 July 9th 2000 - Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>

2691 * fixed some problems with RPMs (parted.spec.in).
2692 * major work on libparted/disk.c. Resizing extended partitions should work
2693 properly now. Marginally less messy. (Layout is still really bad, but you can

2772 out of sync, in some circumstances!!! OUCH!!! (Probably didn't show up
2773 on 99.9% people's systems, because it usually will either be out-by-zero
2774 or out-by>=two. In both cases, there would be no problems)
2775 * fixed severe bug: fs_info->root_dir_entry_count should be set when converting
2776 FAT32 -> FAT16. OUCH!!! Why no bug reports??!!
