libparted: push/pop update mode around ped_disk_set_flag
Disk flags can change how the metadata gets allocated, so push/pop
update mode around ops->disk_set_flag, so that the metadata gets
re-allocated.

* libparted/arch/linux.c (_dm_add_partition): Fix use of dm_task
information after freeing it.
ui: Do not truncate flag names when printing
The partition_print_flags() function was truncating the flag names,
but these are translated strings, and thus can contain multibyte
characters. Truncating multibyte chars in a non multibyte aware way
is not good and was causing issues when printing tables in Russian:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=543029
Since the truncating does not seem to make sense at all this patch
simply removes it (it was likely an attempt to stay within 80 chars
when printing, but as one partition can have multiple flags set this
won't work)
* parted/parted.c (partition_print_flags): Don't truncate flag names.

tarball of a libtool-using project. Reported by Ralf Wildenhues.
(my-distcheck): Reorganize to use a subshell and set -e, so that
failures propagate "out". Without this change, setting LIBTOOL=false
would cause a failure that would then be ignored, probably due to a
problem in $(install-transform-check).

libparted: missing pop update mode in ped_disk_delete_all error path
* libparted/disk.c(ped_disk_delete_all): Add missing update mode pop
call in error path.
libparted: make pop/push update mode propagate sanity check errors
Sanity check errors indicate something is really really wrong, still
sometimes they happen, when they happen it helps a lot in debugging
them when the libparted caller immediately errors out at the first
moment, rather then slugging along until things crash somewere.
* libparted/disk.c(_disk_push_update_mode,_disk_pop_update_mode):
Change return value from void to int, and return 0 when the sanity
check calls fail.
* libparted/disk.c(*): Update all _disk_push_update_mode /
_disk_pop_update_mode callers to propagate the return value.

ui: add --align command-line option to specify mkpart alignment
The new --align command-line option can have the following values:
none: Use the minimum alignment allowed by the disk type
cylinder: Align partitions to cylinders (the default)
minimal: Use minimum alignment as given by the disk topology information
optimal: Use optimum alignment as given by the disk topology information
Note the "minimal" and "optimal" values will use layout information
provided by the disk to align the logical partition table addresses
to actual physical blocks on the disks. The "minimal" value is the
minimum aligment needed to align the partition properly to physical
blocks, which avoids performance degradation. Whereas the "optimum"
alignment align's to a multiple of the physical block size in a way
that guarantees optimal performance.
The "minimal" and "optimal" values are useful only when parted is
compiled with libblkid >= 2.17 and running on a kernel >= 2.6.31,
otherwise they are equivalent to --align=none.
* parted/parted.c (ALIGNMENT_ enum values): New enum.
(options, options_help): Add --align option.
(align_args, align_types, alignment): New global variables.
(do_mkpart): Honor aligment variable.

about libblkid and kernel requirements.
NEWS: Add new disk flag functions to NEWS
* NEWS: Add new disk flag functions.
msdos, sun: implement disk flag operations
* libparted/labels/dos.c (DosDiskData): New struct.

sun_disk_is_flag_available): New functions.
libparted: add disk flag functions and PED_DISK_CYLINDER_ALIGNMENT flag
Sometimes we want to be able to set flags at the disk level rather then
at the parition level, to influence how new partitions will be created
for example. This patch adds functions to do this (modelled after the
partition flag functions), and adds a PED_DISK_CYLINDER_ALIGNMENT flag.
This flag (which defaults to true) controls if disk types for which
cylinder alignment is optional do cylinder alignment when a new
partition gets added. This flag is available for msdos and sun
disklabels (for sun labels it only controls the aligning of the end of
the partition).

build: update gnulib submodule to latest
build: make it clear which sector size is in use upon test failure
* Makefile.am (ss-1024 ss-2048 ss-4096): New targets.
Before this, top-level "make check" would lead to four separate
runs through all the regression tests, one for each of the following
simulated sector sizes: 1024 2048 4096, and one more for the native
(usually 512), and it was not easy to tell which sector size was
in use for a failing test. Now, we still perform exactly the same
tests, but the sector size is now part of each target name.

libparted: ped_disk_clobber_exclude: remove now-unused function

ped_disk_clobber: change semantics
Why? Because if we're going to clobber a partition table,
it is wasteful and error prone to try to interpret as a partition
table whatever existing data there may be. It may be corrupt, or
a mix of two or more types. It is far cleaner just to zero out
the key sectors.
The previous mechanism was like this:
for each partition table type, T,
# See if the device has a partition of type T.
# If so, run the partition-table-specific code to clear it.
if t->ops->probe (dev)
t->ops->clobber (dev)
Instead, simply zero out the first few and last few sectors.
Except for GPT, for which we exempt the first sector (the pMBR).
In order to zero out even the bits DASD uses for its identifying
strings, we have to clobber at least the 8.5KiB at the beginning
of the disk, so round up to 9KiB.
* libparted/disk.c: Include "labels/pt-tools.h".
(find_disk_type): New helper function.

dasd: allow the use of a *regular* backing file
Before this change, dasd partition tables had to be associated with
very specialized block devices available only on IBM s390 systems.
This made testing especially hard. Not only did you need access
to one of those relatively uncommon systems, but you also needed
access to a spare block device. In addition, many of Parted's
tests may be run as a non-privileged user, using regular files,
and those tests would fail when run on an s390.
This change makes it so you may now write a DASD partition table
to a regular backing file, just as you may with any other supported
partition table type. However, note that even now, DASD support
is conditionally compiled and hence enabled only when compiling
for an s390 target.
* libparted/arch/linux.c (_device_set_sector_size) [__s390__]:
Allow operation on a device of type PED_DEVICE_FILE, as well as
those of type PED_DEVICE_DASD.
* libparted/labels/fdasd.c: Include .
(fdasd_get_geometry): Add a new "dev" parameter, required for
dev-phys-sector_size, which is needed in order to initialize
the "anc" structure without using the device-specific ioctls.
When file descriptor "f" refers to a regular file, initialize
"anc", "dasd_info", etc. from other sources (fstat and dev->).
Update all callers to reflect added parameter.
(fdasd_check_api_version): Skip ioctl-calling tests when "f" is
a regular file.
* include/parted/fdasd.h: Update fdasd_get_geometry prototype.
* libparted/labels/dasd.c (dasd_probe): Also allow PED_DEVICE_FILE.
(dasd_alloc_metadata): Initialize arch_specific->real_sector_size,
which is used in calculating vtoc_end.

* libparted/labels/gpt.c (gpt_clobber): Don't bother to read and

the pMBR, the primary header (LBA1), and the last sector.
There is no point in clearing what the primary header says is the

dasd: fix disk duplication
Fix dasd_duplicate and add a dasd_partition_duplicate function.
* libparted/labels/dasd.c(dasd_partition_duplicate): New function.
(dasd_duplicate): Don't set the disk_specific pointer to NULL!
(dasd_duplicate): Copy DasdDiskSpecific from old disk to new disk.
dasd: set disk_specific->format_type in dasd_alloc
Set disk_specific->format_type in dasd_alloc, so that the disk
returned by ped_disk_new_fresh is a valid dasd disk.
* libparted/labels/dasd.c (dasd_alloc): Set disk_specific->format_type.
dasd: cache real_sector_size in linux_probe
dasd_alloc was doing an ioctl to get the real sector size for the dasd
device (we are faking 512 bytes sectors), but when called directly
from ped_disk_new_fresh(), the device is not open causing this to fail.
This patch fixes things by caching the real_sector_size in the linux
arch_specific data and making the dasd label handling use this.
libparted/arch/linux.c(_device_set_sector_size): Cache real sector size.
(_device_set_sector_size, init_dasd, linux_new): Only compile dasd code
on s390 and s390x.
dasd: remove bogus part_info pointer from DasdPartitionData
The part_info pointer in DasdPartitionData was only used to
pass fdasd partition_info_t pointers from dasd_write to
the dasd_write dasd_update_type utility function. Since these
pointers are not valid outside the lifetime of dasd_write, they
should not be stored in the longer lived DasdPartitionData.
* libparted/labels/dasd.c(DasdPartitionData): Remove part_info member.
(dasd_read): Stop setting DasdPartitionData part_info.
(dasd_update_type): Add part_info argument to pass fdasd
partition_info_t pointers from dasd_write.
(dasd_write): Stop setting DasdPartitionData part_info, pass
partition_info_t pointers to dasd_update_type as a separate argument.
dasd: clean up anchor handling
The current dasd label code keeps an fdasd anchor struct in the
DasdDiskSpecific struct, and fills this during dasd_read. However this
anchor does not get updated with any future mods, until dasd_write,
at which points it gets completely re-initialized.
Since the contents of the anchor saved during read does not get used
anywhere else, this patch switches to using local anchor structs in
dasd_read and dasd_write. This will also allow writing a significantly
simpler duplicate implementation, then the one which is currently
added to the Fedora package with a patch from Joel Granados (The
current master dasd_duplicate implementation is not functional).
This patch also fixes several missing calls to fdasd_cleanup() fixing
several memory leaks.
* libparted/arch/linux.h (struct _LinuxSpecific): Drop anchor member.
* libparted/labels/dasd.c (DasdDiskSpecific): Drop anchor member.
(dasd_clobber): Add missing fdasd_cleanup().
(dasd_read, dasd_write): Use local anchor struct instead of a
dynamically allocated one in DasdDiskSpecific.
(dasd_read): Don't leak a PedConstraint in 2 error paths.
(dasd_update_type): Pass in the used anchor as argument.

$(WARN_CFLAGS) and $(WERROR_CFLAGS).
2009-11-01 Hans de Goede
Implement get_partition_alignment DiskOp for all labels which need it
Implement get_partition_alignment DiskOp for all labels which require
an alignment with a grain_size != 1.
libparted: add ped_disk_get_partition_alignment() function
This functions get the alignment needed for partition boundaries on this disk.
The returned alignment describes the alignment for the start sector of the
partition, for all disklabel types which require alignment, except Sun
disklabels, the end sector must be aligned too. To get the end sector
alignment decrease the PedAlignment offset by 1.
libparted: add ped_device_get_xxx_aligned_constraint() functions
Add ped_device_get_minimal_aligned_constraint() and
ped_device_get_optimal_aligned_constraint() functions to libparted.
These functions can be used to get a device constraint taking alignment into
account.
ped_device_get_constraint: return constraint without alignment
In libparted-1.9 ped_device_get_constraint() would always return a constraint
without any start / end aligning (grain_size == 1). Now that we are starting to
support disks with a physical sector size other then 512, the old
ped_device_get_constraint() code may actually start returning constrains
with alignment info with a grain_size != 1.
Since this is a behavior change and since the old code does not take a possible
alignment info into account, this patch removes the aligning code from
ped_device_get_constraint(), so that its behavior is unchanged.
This patch also updates the functions doxygen documentation to reflect what
it has actually done all these years.
linux: add get_xxx_alignment() functions
* libparted/arch/linux.c (get_minimum_alignment): New function.
(get_optimum_alignment): New function.
linux: save blkid topology in arch_specific data for later use
This is a preparation patch for adding get_minimum_alignment
and get_optimum_alignment functions to linux's _PedDeviceArchOps.
* libparted/arch/linux.h (struct_LinuxSpecific) [probe, topology]:
Add members.
* libparted/arch/linux.c (linux_new): initialize
arch_specific->probe and arch_specific->topology to NULL,
(linux_destroy): Free arch_specific->probe.
(get_minimum_io_size): Remove function.
(get_blkid_topology): New function.
(_device_set_sector_size): Call get_blkid_topology() instead of
get_minimum_io_size() and retrieve minimum io size from the cached
topology.
libparted: add ped_device_get_xxx_alignment() functions
Add ped_device_get_minimum_alignment() and ped_device_get_optimum_alignment()
functions to libparted.
Note this is a resent of my previous patchset with a number of typos corrected:
aligment -> alignment
minimal_alignment -> minimum_aligment
optimal_alignment -> optimum_aligment
Sorry for the noise.

on dvh's partition-creation error path. This leak is enough
of a corner case that I may even leave it for now, and add a
suppression for it, so that we're not distracted by it.
2009-10-28 Jim Meyering

gpt: header validity: also consider whether a PE array crc matches
* libparted/labels/gpt.c (check_PE_array_CRC): New function.
(_header_is_valid): Use it to verify that partition entry array
checksums match, too.
Karel Zak noticed that this check was not being performed.
* tests/t0280-gpt-corrupt.sh: Adapt to changed diagnostic.
gpt: tweak interfaces to pass disk, not disk->dev
* libparted/labels/gpt.c: required for upcoming CRC-checking function.
gpt: don't ignore an improbable (1-in-2^32) failure
pth_crc32 mapped failure to a crc32 value of 0. If that happened
to match the stored value, there would be no indication that there
had been a malloc failure.
* libparted/labels/gpt.c (pth_crc32): Change interface so we can
distinguish failure from a CRC value of 0.
Update all callers.
(_generate_header): Now that we recognize pth_crc32 can fail,
we must admit that its void-returning caller _generate_header
may fail, too. Return "int" and adjust *its* callers.
gpt: factor out code that is about to be reused
* libparted/labels/gpt.c: Include .
(gpt_read_PE_array): New function, ...

gpt: don't dereference NULL upon OOM (pth_get_raw callers)
Handle each case in which pth_get_raw may return NULL.

the PTE CRC mismatch is in the primary table.
* tests/t0280-gpt-corrupt.sh: Tweak diagnostic to match
what the code now prints.
gpt: also verify MyLBA when checking table validity
* libparted/labels/gpt.c (_header_is_valid): Add parameter, my_lba.

gpt: add a comment
* libparted/labels/gpt.c (_header_is_valid): Add a comment to explain
the new partition entry size limitation of UINT32_MAX/16.
build: update gnulib submodule to latest
tests: use scsi_debug to test-for 4k-sector-specific bug
* tests/t9010-big-sector.sh: New root-only test.
Requires 2.6.31, and the scsi_debug module, /sys/block/... support
and an upcoming version of libblkid.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add t9010-big-sector.sh.
Thanks to Mike Snitzer for advice and for pointing me to similar
code he wrote to test LVM.
tests: begin the transition to coreutils' testing framework
The existing testing framework makes it hard to diagnose test failures,
so I'm switching to one that works better for me, from coreutils.
* tests/t-lib.sh: New file. Mostly from coreutils/tests/test-lib.sh.
* tests/Makefile.am (TMPDIR): Update to pass more info to test scripts.
(EXTRA_DIST): Add t-lib.sh.
linux: use libblkid to determine ->phys_sector_size
Before this change, creating a memory-mapped disk on a fedora-based
system running 2.6.31.1-56.fc12.x86_64 using this command:
modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=1025 sector_size=4096
and then running "parted -s /dev/sdd mklabel gpt print"
would mistakenly print "Sector size (logical/physical): 4096B/512B"
The "512B" is what's wrong. It should be "4096B".
* configure.ac: Test for a new-enough blkid library.
* libparted/Makefile.am (libparted_la_LIBADD): Add $(LIB_BLKID).
* libparted/arch/linux.c (get_minimum_io_size): New function.
(_device_set_sector_size): Use it.
libparted: weaken a diagnostic
* libparted/arch/linux.c (_kernel_reread_part_table): Give a more
accurate diagnostic. Reported by Curtis Gedak.
gpt: verify CRC32 of partition table entry array, too
The partition table entry array's CRC was not being verified at all.
This adds an interim check. The full-blown change required to make
this implementation conform to the EFI spec will be more invasive.
* libparted/labels/gpt.c (gpt_read): Check CRC of PTE array, too.
* tests/t0280-gpt-corrupt.sh: New test for this.
Reported by Karel Zak.
doc: mention the "bios_grub" flag
I don't like the idea of documenting this "flag setting" option,
but it's been in the code for long enough now, and in actual use,
that I feel obliged. In the longer term, we'll probably deprecate
it and instead add an interface to set a partition's type independent
of mkpart's "type" argument.
* doc/parted.texi (set): Mention bios_grub.
tests: gpt: do not munge GPT data manually
Otherwise, an upcoming change would cause this test to fail.
* tests/t5000-tags.sh: Do not munge GPT data manually, since that
does not update embedded CRCs, and thus renders it invalid.
Set the attribute via "set 1 bios_grub on" instead.
Also, use "name1" as the partition name, rather than the
misleading "primary".
Adjust diagnostics: the changes we make are no longer "manual."

tests: resize FAT and HFS file systems
Since it looks like we're stuck with keeping at least FAT and HFS
file-system resizing support in libparted, we have an obligation to
exercise at least some of that functionality. For now, I've limited
this test to shrinking well-aligned partitions by a well-behaved
amount. Curtis Gedak helped come up with a usable test.
* tests/t3000-resize-fs.sh: New file.
Use starting partition offset that is on a cylinder boundary,
and increase the partition size to be larger than 256 MiB.
When resizing, choose the new size to be exactly one cylinder
(8MiB) smaller than the original.

ped_partition_busy: do not call the libparted exception handler
Modify libparted/arch/linux.c _partition_get_part_dev() to not call
_device_stat() but instead use stat directly, as _device_stat() calls
the libparted exception handler, and we don't want this here, the only
caller of _partition_get_part_dev() is _partition_is_mounted(), which
in turn only gets called by linux_partition_is_busy(), and we don't
want to "throw" exceptions from ped_partition_busy().

make PED_ASSERT handling sane: abort on false condition
Upon a failed PED_ASSERT, Do not ask the interactive user if they want
to continue. This change will affect any code that expects to be able
to continue after a failed PED_ASSERT condition. However, such code is
so fundamentally broken that this change is required. If you require
to be able to continue after a false condition, then the code must
not use a macro named like PED_ASSERT. This change was motivated by
my desire to use the clang static analysis tool. Without this change,
there were over 300 mostly-false-positive reports. With it, just 31,
almost all legitimate.
* libparted/debug.c (ped_assert): Remove first parameter.
It is now tested via the macro.
Now, this function always aborts, which helps clang understand.
Do not ask the interactive user if s/he wants to continue.
* include/parted/debug.h (PED_ASSERT): Test condition here,
not in ped_assert.
* libparted/disk.c (ped_disk_remove_partition): Remove the label
that was used only upon failing PED_ASSERT. Now that PED_ASSERT
always aborts for a false condition, that would have been dead code.
(ped_disk_new_fresh): Likewise.
build: avoid a shadowing warning
* libparted/fs/hfs/advfs_plus.c (hfsplus_get_empty_end): Rename local,
"link" to avoid shadowing the syscall.

gpt: don't use msftres flag for FAT/NTFS partitions
This patch corrects the bug in parted due to which any FAT(12,16,32)
or NTFS partition(s) is, by default, incorrectly set as "Microsoft
Reserved Partition" type in GPT disks. With this change, parted
defaults to setting the FAT/NTFS Partitions partition type to
Linux/Windows Basic Data Partition which will make them accessible
in Mac OS X and Windows.

ui: do not initialize readline (which would output!) in --script mode
Running parted with its --script (-s) option would, surprisingly,
print a few control characters if TERM were set appropriately,

This fixes it not to do that.
* parted/parted.c (_init): Initialize readline support only after
parsing command line options, so we can skip it in --script mode.
* parted/ui.c (init_readline): New function.

linux-commit: do not unnecessarily open partition device nodes
After patching parted with my do-not-use-BLKPG patch, I started
to get EBUSY errors on commit_to_os. Note this is not caused
by the do-not-use-BLKPG patch, this was already happening, but
parted was silently ignoring the errors (and the kernel was
not notified of the changes, which is bad). The error now
actually gets reported.
The problem turns out to be in libparted/arch/linux.c's
_flush_cache function, which walks all the partitions of the
disk and does BLKFLSBUF calls on them. This causes the following:
commit_to_os -> device_open -> fd = open /dev/sda ->
_flush_cache -> for each /dev/sda# open, ioctl, close
-> ioctl(fd, BLKRRPART) -> EBUSY
What is happening here is that the:
for each /dev/sda# open, ioctl, close
Is causing udev change events for all the /dev/sda#
nodes, which causes udev to call blkid on all these nodes
(on systems which use DeviceKit), so blkid has /dev/sda# nodes
open while BLKRRPART gets called on /dev/sda -> EBUSY.
I've checked with two independend storage subsystem kernel
developers, and /dev/sda and /dev/sda#, guarantee cache coherency
now-a-days. So there is no need to do this for 2.6, which also
eliminates the need to call _flush_cache() on device open at all.
* libparted/arch/linux.c (_have_kern26): New function.
(_flush_cache): For linux kernels 2.6 and newer, don't flush
partition devices.
(linux_open): Skip _flush_cache on newer kernels here, too.
linux-commit: remove the use of the BLKPG ioctl
While testing partitionable mdraid I noticed that the kernels
view of the partition table never changes even though I was successfully
making commit_to_os() calls.
This has let to me diving into libparted's commit_to_os() code for Linux
and there are multiple issues hiding in there:
1) Parted reads /sys/block/foo/range to determine how many partitions
the device type supports and then makes BLKPG ioctl's to update the
kernels view of the partition table for partitions which fall into
this range. However for example /sys/block/sda/range contains 16,
there are 2 issue with libparted using this number:
1) scsi major's only support 15 partitions, 1 of the range of 16
is reserved for the whole device, yet libparted will try
to notify the kernel about 16 partitions if present
2) If the major's partition minor's run out, the kernel will switch
to the mdp major for the other partitions, iow range no longer
limits the number of partitions.
2) libparted assumes the user knows what he is doing, and will ignore
-ebusy errors for partitions, assuming that the user is smart enough
to only change unused partitions. Parted does this without checking
if the partitions which return ebusy actually are unchanged causing
REAL errors to get unreported (BAD, really really BAD)
3) because of 1) libparted will only sync 1 partition on /dev/md#
devices (would be 0 if not for the of by 1 bug as all md#p#
partitions use the mdp major), and it fails to even do that without
reporting an error.
###
1) we can fix by simply not checking /sys/block/foo/range, but instead
just syncing max partitions.
2) is more troublesome, we could just make -EBUSY n error,
but that may annoy / bug some users. OTOH in certain cases libparted
already falls back to BLKRRPART which will return EBUSY so users
should already be prepared to handle EBUSY
3) Could be fixed by making libparted recognize mdraid as a device type
and except mdraid from using BLKPG, like it already is doing with
DASD, but it might be better to just get rid of using BLKPG all
together. See below.
An even bigger problem IMHO is the use of the BLKPG ioctl instead of
BLKRRPART at all. What this does is tell the kernel parted's view
of the partition table and make it use that, instead of telling
the kernel to reread the partition table. According to the parted
sources this is done for the case where the kernel does not know
the disklabel type. However as soon as the system is rebooted, the
system will be using the kernel's view. So IMHO it would be much
better to always use the kernels view and just always call BLKRRPART
in commit_to_os(), this would solve all of the above issues, *and*
make the way the system views the partition table consistent between
just after running parted and after a reboot.
I've attached a patch which removes the use of the BLKPG ioctl, notice
that this also removes a lot of special case code and workarounds,
which existence to me clearly indicates that using the BLKPG ioctl is
a bad idea.
* libparted/arch/linux.c (linux_disk_commit): Remove the use of the
BLKPG ioctl.
(_blkpg_add_partition, _blkpg_part_command, _blkpg_remove_partition):
(_device_get_partition_range, _disk_sync_part_table, _have_blkpg):
(_have_devfs): Remove functions thus rendered unused.

tests: make two partition-related tests work for other sector sizes
These two root-only tests would fail with the PARTED_SECTOR_SIZE envvar
set to anything other than 512. Now they also work for multiples.
* tests/t4100-dvh-partition-limits.sh: Make sector-size agnostic.
* tests/t4100-msdos-partition-limits.sh: Likewise.
tests: make it easier to diagnose loop_setup_ failure
* tests/lvm-utils.sh: Don't redirect stderr to /dev/null.
tests: avoid spurious failure due to extra space in diagnostic
* libparted/labels/pt-tools.c (ptt_partition_max_start_len):
Remove stray space in diagnostic that was causing the root-only
regression test, t4100-dvh-partition-limits.sh, to fail.
tests: avoid spurious failure on "nodev" mounted partition
* tests/t8000-loop.sh: Skip this test if loop_setup_ fails.
* tests/t6000-dm.sh: Likewise.
2009-08-28 Hans de Goede
parted: avoid unnecessary open/close on commit, and thus udev activity
* libparted/disk.c (ped_disk_commit): Open/close the underlying file
descriptor in this function, so that callees, ped_disk_commit_to_dev
and ped_disk_commit_to_os do not each perform open/close syscalls.
This saves an open/close pair, and thus avoids unneeded udev
activity on Linux.
Before this change, when calling commit() on a ped_disk, the
following would happen:
open /dev/sda
write partition table
close /dev/sda
open /dev/sda
ioctl (BLKRRPART)
close /dev/sda
This is rather inefficient, and causes 2 udev change events to be fired
for /dev/sda (+ the change events from the BLKRRPART), causing all kind
of scanning (blkid & friends) twice.
This patch fixes things to only open the device once.

Remove unneeded test.
This test made sure that "md" was ignored when doing partition specific
actions. We have added code that allows this scan once more, therefore
the test is no longer needed.
* tests/t6001-dm-ignoremd.sh: Remove file.
* tests/Makefile.am: Remove the test file from the list of tests.
Compensate for different behavior in t7000 test.
When the t7000 test was first engineered the "n" did not appear in the
output when testing mkpart & mkpartfs. ATM, for an unknown reason,
the "n" is being echoed in the resulting string causing test failure
when compared with the errI string. This patch attempts to make both
behaviors (with and without the echoed "n") pass the test.
* tests/t7000-scripting.sh: Make sure we don't have an " n" at the end
of the output string.

tests: improve coverage in label tests
* libparted/tests/label.c (create_disk): Increase image size from
20MB to 80MB, so that tests with PARTED_SECTOR_SIZE=8192 don't
fail right away.
(START_TEST): Don't skip the "loop" type. It works now.
tests: make t8000-loop.sh stop immediately upon failiure
* tests/t8000-loop.sh (immediate): ... to avoid cascading.
tests: fix the final test failure on RHEL 5.3
* tests/t1700-ext-probe.sh (dev): Use mkfs.$type, not mkfs -t $type.
The latter doesn't work on RHEL5: a file system created with
"mkfs -F -t ext3" appears to be created as ext2.

gpt_clobber: avoid segfault when 512 < sector_size
* libparted/labels/gpt.c (gpt_clobber): Rewrite not to use a
fixed-size buffer assuming a 512-byte sector.
Eliminate entirely a buffer that is allocated (not long enough)
and zeroed-out solely so to help zero out a few sectors.
Instead, use the new ptt_clear_sectors function.
ptt_clear_sectors: new function
* libparted/labels/pt-tools.c (ptt_clear_sectors): New function.
* libparted/labels/pt-tools.h: Declare.
linux_write: use sector_size, not hard-coded 512
* libparted/arch/linux.c (linux_write): Use sector_size,
not a hard-coded 512, to find start of last sector.
parted/ui.c: Include before everything else
* README-big-sector: New file.
reenabling probe-related code exposed problems with amiga and bsd
* libparted/tests/common.c (_implemented_disk_label): Pretend they're

mac clone: avoid failed assertion for sector size > 512
* libparted/labels/mac.c (mac_duplicate): Do not assume that
the first sector of the partition-map partition is "1".
Running this: cd libparted/tests &&
PARTED_SECTOR_SIZE=1024 CK_FORK=no valgrind ./label
would result in a failed assertion:
ped_disk_remove_partition (...) at disk.c:1897
1897 PED_ASSERT (part->part_list == NULL, goto error);
At first glance, it looked like the free(part) in
mac_partition_destroy was the culprit. And removing that free
does indeed avoid the failed assertion. However, not only does
the name "mac_partition_destroy" imply/require the "free", but
all other *_partition_destroy functions free their PART parameter,
so removing this free statement cannot be the solution.
Another possibility is that mac_duplicate's use of
ped_disk_remove_partition is in error. Removing it appears
to solve the problem, but I don't know why that code is removing
the partition-map partition manually, so can't safely remove
such a thing.
The real problem is that with >512-byte sectors, the "1" in this
code from mac_duplicate is wrong:
partition_map = ped_disk_get_partition_by_sector (new_disk, 1);
PED_ASSERT (partition_map != NULL, return 0);
ped_disk_remove_partition (new_disk, partition_map);
E.g., with 1024-byte sectors, the desired partition-map
partition starts at sector 2, so the above gets the tiny
metadata partition in the gap. Calling ped_disk_remove_partition
to remove a metadata partition provokes some nasty corruption.
The desired first-sector number is old_mac_data->ghost_size, not "1".
* libparted/labels/mac.c (mac_duplicate): Remove dead code.
mac partitions pass all label+disk tests @1024 & @2048 sector size
* libparted/labels/mac.c (mac_read): Allow for variable sector size.
(_pad_raw_part): Likewise.
(get_pme): New convenience function, adapted to work for
variable sector size and factored out of 4 functions:
(_generate_raw_part): ...here,
(_generate_raw_freespace_part): ...here,
(_generate_empty_part): ...here,
(_get_first_empty_part_entry): ...and here.
mac.c (_disk_analyse_ghost_size): allow >512-byte sector size
* libparted/labels/mac.c (_disk_analyse_ghost_size):
mac.c: remove dead code
* libparted/labels/mac.c (mac_partition_new): Remove dead code.
Return "NULL", not "0".

* libparted/labels/mac.c (mac_probe, mac_clobber): FIX!
factor out the read_sector function
* libparted/labels/pt-tools.c (ptt_read_sector): New function.

* libparted/labels/pt-tools.h: Declare.
fix >512-byte sector label/disk-test failure
* libparted/tests/disk.c: Include xstrtol.h.
(get_sector_size): New function: get sector size from the environment.
(create_disk): Use the new function to calculate a usable size,
rather than hard-coding the 512-byte-sector-specific size of 20MB.
* libparted/tests/common.c (_create_disk): Change meaning (and name)
of parameter to be size in bytes, not MiB.
Adjust callers.
* po/POTFILES.in: Add lib/xstrtol-error.c.
linux.c: also set phys_sector_size. Must be the same.
tests: Phew! finally make t5000-tags.sh work with >512-byte sectors
* tests/t5000-tags.sh: Many adjustments, along lines of t0200-gpt.
Also, be explicit: bios_boot_magic goes in 2nd *sector*.
Don't hard-code 512 for sector-size.
We'd get the wrong value for dev->length.
* libparted/arch/linux.c (init_file): In computing dev->length,
divide by dev->sector_size (not 512) to compute number of sectors.
Define dev->sector_size earlier.
test basic GPT functionality earlier
* tests/t0250-gpt.sh: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
tests: avoid test output mismatch for >512-byte sectors
* tests/test-lib.sh (normalize_part_diag_): New function.

* libparted/labels/Makefile.am (liblabels_la_SOURCES): Add them.
avoid dvh label-clone test failure
* libparted/labels/dvh.c (dvh_duplicate): Initialize with
ped_disk_new_fresh, not with _ped_disk_alloc. The former
sets disk->update_mode = 1, as required (and enforced via an
assertion in ped_disk_destroy).
* libparted/labels/gpt.c (gpt_clobber): Plug a leak.
amiga: Avoid writing uninitialized 1.5KB after initial 512B.
disable some file-system-related probe tests for sector size > 512
These changes keep us from recognizing most file systems
when the sector size is larger than 512. However, for now (while
concentrating on getting partition table support right) that's not
a problem. Besides, the code we're avoiding would inevitably make
parted smash its stack.
* libparted/fs/linux_swap/linux_swap.c (_generic_swap_probe): Fail
the swap-file-system-recognizing test when sector size is not 512.
* libparted/filesys.c (ped_file_system_probe_specific): Fail all
fs-specific probe-related tests when sector size is not 512.
* libparted/fs/jfs/jfs.c (jfs_probe): For now, don't even try to
deal with larger sector size.
* libparted/label.c: Skip tests of problematic file system types.
* tests/t0100-print.sh: Print with units of sectors, and adjust
expected output accordingly.
* tests/t1000-mkpartfs.sh: Use a smaller test file.

Fix compile failures.
Add fat support for sector_size > 512.

* libparted/fs/ext2/interface.c (_ext2_generic_probe): Likewise.
(_ext2_clobber): Likewise.
Make loop_probe and loop_clobber work with sector_size > 512, too.
Still working on making label support work.
* libparted/fs/ext2/interface.c (_ext2_generic_probe): The call to
ped_geometry_read_alloc would clobber the stack after SB whenever
block_size > 512. Instead, use new function, ped_geometry_read_alloc,
and adjust all uses of SB.
(_ext2_clobber): Likewise.
* libparted/cs/geom.c (ped_geometry_read_alloc): New function.
* include/parted/geom.h: Declare it.
(msdos_clobber): Plug the leak I just introduced.

* tests/t2100-mkswap.sh: Refer to "linux-swap(v1)" rather than
"linux-swap(new)". Test creation via the new alias.
2009-07-09 Jim Meyering

2009-06-10 Joel Granados Moreno
doc: improve mkpart description
* doc/parted.texi: Make sure that part-type is portrayed as an
optional argument. Mention the "special behavior" that mkpart has
with specific disk label types.
parted-ui: ensure cmd-line buffer is empty before ped_exception_throw
When ped_exception_throw requires input from the user and there are
leftover strings in the command line, there is an "invalid token" error
from parted. This happens because the ped_exception expects some input
that is, most likely, different from the leftover string(s). To address
this, one must make sure that all the argument strings are parsed before
invoking any exception that requires input.
* parted/parted.c (do_mklabel): Call command_line_get_disk_type call
before the disk checks (_disk_warn_loss will call ped_exception_throw).
* tests/t0000-basic.sh: Adjust, now that the output need not include
the error message.
tests: verify that "md" devices are not listed
* tests/t6001-dm-ignored.sh: New test file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
linux: skip "md" devices when probing
* libparted/arch/linux.c (_skip_entry) : Add "md" to the entries
array so all devices of type "/dev/md#" get ignored.
fat: support 64KB clusters for FAT16
* libparted/fs/fat/calc.c (fat_max_cluster_size): A 64KB cluster
size (128 sectors) for FAT16 is not common but is possible. Allow
the use of 128-sector clusters instead of outputting an error.

(gpt_read): When reading the partition
entries, round up, not down, the number of sectors to read.
(_header_is_valid): Check that the SizeOfPartitionEntry is sane.

tests: adjust t4100-msdos-starting-sector.sh
* tests/t4100-msdos-starting-sector.sh: Use parted's -m option
when printing, and adjust expected output to match.

to mount-point- related differences.
2009-05-26 Joel Granados Moreno
Add test for msdos starting sector.
* tests/t4100-msdos-starting-sector.sh : Make sure we are consistent
when displaying starting sector for msdos lables.
2009-05-26 Joel Andres Granados
Make sure we always create msdos metadata parts.
Given a disk with no partition, parted did not create metadata
partitions for an msdos label. This led to inconsistencies when
reporting free space partition ranges. This patch addresses this issue.
* libparted/labels/dos.c (get_last_part): Remove function.
* libparted/labels/dos.c (get_start_first_nonfree_part): New function.
* libparted/labels/dos.c (get_end_last_nonfree_part): New function.
* libparted/lables/dos.c (add_startend_metadata): Add code that
handles disks no partitions. Add check that prevents the metadata
partitions from being greater than the device length. Add check
that prevents metadata partitions from overlapping in small devs.
2009-05-26 Joel Granados Moreno
Improve readability in linux.c
* libparted/arch/linux.c : Gather all the _is_major functions together.
change the name of readFD to _read_fd since its not used anywhere
else. Also rename the "_is_major_type" function to
"_major_type_in_device" as it better expresses what we do in said
function.
Correctly name virtio devices.
* include/parted/device.h (PedDeviceType): Add a new PED_DEVICE_VIRTBLK
type to the list.
* libparted/arch/linux.c (_is_dm_major): Modify this function so it
calls the new _is_major_type function with type "device-mapper".
* libparted/arch/linux.c (_is_major_type): Searches a major number
inside /proc/devices based on a "type" string.
* libparted/arch/linux.c (_is_virtblk_major): New function. Calls

Change each occurrence like this (which evokes a warning from gcc):
- return *supported = MAX_TOTAL_PART;
to this:

I did it mostly mechanically:
cd libparted/labels &&
grep -l 'return .supported = ' *.c|xargs perl -ni \
-e '$m=/^\treturn \*supported( = .*;)/;' \
-e 'print $m ? "\t*max_n$1\n\treturn true;\n" : $_'
git grep -l 'int\* supported'|xargs perl -pi -e 's/int\* supported/int *max_n/'
That got all but aix.c, which used different spacing: "int *supported",
which I changed manually. Then I updated all copyright dates.
gpt: adjust formatting and rename a parameter: s/supported/max_n/.
* libparted/labels/gpt.c (gpt_get_max_supported_partition_count): Rename

gpt: do not automatically "correct" a suspicious GPT partition table
Previously, when parted was invoked on a disk with a GPT partition table
and the backup GPT was not in the last sector of the disk, and even if
the requested operation was just to print the partition table, parted
would "repair" this automatically. This behavior is undesirable in the
following situation:
dm-raid on top of block device. The dm-raid is partitioned with GPT. If
the dm-raid starts on the first block of underlying device (AFAIK this is
the case with FastTrack controllers) and the user runs parted on the
dm-raid, it will identify the physical device as being partitioned with
GPT and see the backup GPT table not to be in the last sector of the
physical device and thus move it to this location (which may lead to
destruction of dm-raid metadata in case they are located at the end of
physical device).
This patch modifies parted's behavior to ignore fixing of backup GPT
position by default.

sun partition tables: add support for RAID partition types
This patch enables RAID as a supported partition type on Sun disk
layouts, commonly found/used on SPARC hardware. It has been tested
on Aurora SPARC Linux (and Fedora SPARC). I have no idea if Solaris
supports Software RAID or not...
Along with the code change, I wrote a test case that checks if the
RAID partition type is supported on sun disk labels.

Add support for SD/MMC storage cards on Linux
This patch adds a new SDMMC device type to represent SD/MMC
cards. There is nothing special about handling those devices,
they are just standard block devices with different names.
They use device major ID 179 and are usually called
/dev/mmcblkN (where N is the card number) and the individual partitions
/dev/mmcblkNpM (where M is the partition number).
This patch was developed as part of an effort to make debian-installer
support installation of Debian GNU/Linux on SD/MMC cards, as boot-from-SD
is becoming a feature seen in mobile x86 devices.

Report and analysis by Soren Hansen :
"""When ped_disk_get_last_partition_num(disk) fails (which it does if

mkpart: Don't require a DVH partition name if it's guaranteed to fail.
The mkpart command has an undocumented feature whereby it prompts for
(interactive) or requires (-s) a partition name, *regardless* of whether
it already knows the partition type (any thing but 'logical') is
incompatible with a name.
At first I was pissed and simply #if-0'd the offending code.
But in case someone is actually relying on it, I've relented, and
merely remove the prompt/requirement when the partition table type
is "dvh" and the type of the partition in question is not "logical".

the PedArchitecture structure and the ped_set_architecture
implementation. All changes that were need to get it suported on all

Really duplicate the disk instead of readd every partition
To avoid possible differences between the original disk layout and the

Part of http://git.debian.org/?p=parted/parted.git;a=commitdiff;h=080d3e7078
changed this:
free(diobuf);
to this:
if (diobuf)
free(diobuf);
Yet, free doesn't have any problem with NULL.
Some very old (non-POSIX) implementations did (like SunOS4),
but even for them, gnulib's lib/free.c protects us.
Avoid test failure with dash's builtin printf. * tests/t0100-print.sh (msdos_magic): Use more-portable octal escapes, not hexadecimal ones.
2007-08-09 David Cantrell
Sanity check for dev, safety checks on diobuf.
Make sure diobuf is NULL before we begin and make sure it isn't NULL when
we try to free it. Throw an exception if dev is NULL and we enter this
function.

Author: Matt Davis
Here is a working version of the history with undo/redo capabilities. The
idea here was based on a talk with Otavio Salvador who mentioned the concepts
from Vanni Brutto. The idea being to capture all changes and only apply them
all at once. This protects the user from performing an unwanted change. What
I did was capture all disk modifications that are committed to disk, and put
them in a list. The history manager allows the list to be traversed linearly,
so that a change can be undone, viewed in parted (print command), or reapplied
again. Nothing actually happens to the physical disk until the 'save' command
is issued.
Jim Meyering suggested that the functionality might be useful to libparted
thus most of the functionality has been moved there. The stdout displays
(printf) are placed in parted.c as the library should not do any output
printing on its own.
Three commands were added:
1) Undo : Undoes a disk modification
2) Redo : Redoes the most recent 'undone' modification
3) Save : Actually commits the list of non-undone modifications to disk
I feel a bit more testing needs to be done, but I am happy with the results
right now.

Fix block state checking for realocated blocks
A busy block should be realocated and it's correct in
ext2_block_relocator_mark(), but not in ext2_metadata_push().
Fix block number used when checking for state
Hi there,
The ext2_bread() returns a descriptor containing a
pointer ->data representing the contents of 1 block.
In ext2_block_relocate_grow(), it reads the block bitmap from
a group descriptor representing a range of blocks:
bh = ext2_bread(fs, EXT2_GROUP_BLOCK_BITMAP(fs->gd[i]));
Then it does:
k = EXT2_GROUP_INODE_TABLE(fs->gd[i]) + fs->inodeblocks + j;
k is the absolute block number and then checks the state doing:
if (bh->data[k>>3] & _bitmap[k&7])
The k should be the offset inside of group descriptor and not
the absolute block number. Example:
. Block bitmap represents 512 blocks
. Block absolute number is 1023.
GrpDesc = Block absolute number / block bitmap size = 1
bh = ext2_bread(fs, EXT2_GROUP_BLOCK_BITMAP(fs->gd[GrpDesc]))
bh->data[] contains a bitmap of 512 blocks from 512-1024
relative = absolute block number % block bitmap size
relative = 1023/512 = 511
The block state is in bitmap bh->data[relative>>3] & ...

Fix the mkfs final-block-group-too-short bug.
mkfs would fail for certain sizes resulting in a final block-group
that was too small to accommodate the minimum number of admin blocks.
There was already work-around code for when a decremented "numgroups"
was 1. This change applies that work-around code for larger values of
numgroups, too. Also, there was an off-by-one error in the guard test
that would allow a few too-small partition sizes to slip through and
provoke the error (see tests/t2000-mkfs.sh for two examples).
This change fixes that, too.
Fix two "make check"-as-root failures. t1100-busy-label.sh: Remove extra copy of "o2" temporary file name. test-lib.sh (emit_superuser_warning): Exit successfully when run as root, too.
2007-06-11 Jim Meyering
Fix inconsistent prompt for file system type.
* parted/parted.c (do_mkfs): Use a consistent prompt when asking
for a file system type.
Add a test to record the current EXT2 mkpartfs failure for some sizes.
Run this:
dev=F
dd if=/dev/null of=$dev bs=1 seek=20M
./parted -s $dev mklabel gpt
./parted -s $dev mkpartfs primary ext2 0 16796160B
It fails with this diagnostic:
Error: Attempt to write sectors 32772-32773 outside of partition on /t/F.
But if you choose a size that's one byte smaller, it works:
./parted -s $dev mkpartfs primary ext2 0 16796159B
The difference is in how ext2_mkfs_write_meta computes
the number of block groups. In the former case, it computes
numgroups = 3. In the latter, numgroups = 2.
The trouble with the first case is that there isn't enough
space for 3 full block groups in a file system of that size.
Hence the eventual attempt to write beyond the initially-
established end-of-file-system mark.
Avoid unnecessary writes in test scripts.
This changes the tests to create sparse files for some test inputs
rather than zero-filled non-sparse ones. Doing this cuts more than 50% off
the run time of "make check" in the tests/ directory.

Turn off "DEBUG" in libparted/libparted.c, ... thus making it so that ped_malloc no longer initializes all just-allocated memory to all '1' bits. Given the two bugs I've just fixed, this change is long overdue.
Make "mklabel amiga" work also when DEBUG is not enabled.
I turned off DEBUG and discovered test failures that its
bogus always-initialize-malloc'd-memory policy had been hiding:
(amiga_write): Initialize all of "->disk_specific" buffer.
Avoid buffer overrun when initializing "TABLE".
"mklabel bsd": don't read/write initialized memory, with DEBUG turned off I spent the first part of yesterday debugging the ext2-resize failure. As part of that, I turned off DEBUG and was surprised to see new failures in the label checks. At least for label types "amiga" and "bsd", the implementation required that freshly-allocated memory be filled with all "1" bits, as was guaranteed by the default setting of
#define DEBUG 1
When I turned that off, bsd.c would read/write uninitialized memory, and
rdb.c(amiga) would do more of the same and produce partition tables that
it would then fail to recognize.
Here's the fix for the bsd problems.
I'll send the rdb/amiga ones separately, and once all tests pass
without malloc-initialization-to-all-1's, I'll remove that, too.
The bsd read-uninit bug was at bsd.c:341 (bsd_write), with this test:
if (!bsd_specific->boot_code [0])
_probe_and_add_boot_code (disk);
that first byte was never initialized.
So, I figured, that'll be easy. Just initialize it.
Wrong. That wasn't enough, since then a part of that same 512-byte
buffer (starting at offset 340) would be used uninitialized by
a write syscall.
FYI, the first failure was demonstrated like this:
dev=f
N=1M
dd if=/dev/zero of=$dev bs=$N count=1 && valgrind ./parted -s $dev mklabel bsd
Here's the first one:
==20087== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)

Don't leak a partition table buffer. * libparted/labels/rdb.c (amiga_read): Free the buffer upon success as well as on failure.
Correct a misleading diagnostic.
* libparted/disk.c (ped_disk_new): Remove always-false "Unable to open"
part of diagnostic. Leave the "unrecognized disk label" part.
Fix build failure (conflicting decl of strnlen) and clean up
* parted/strlist.h: Include first.
[!ENABLE_NLS]: Define wchar_t to char here, too, since we no
longer include "strlist.h" after the definition in table.c.
* parted/table.c: Include and unconditionally,

Hoist inclusions of xalloc.h and strlist.h, too.
Remove wcwidth and strnlen declarations, since they're guaranteed
to be in the gnulib-supplied-if-needed headers.
Read an msdos partition table from a device with 2K sectors.
* libparted/labels/dos.c: Include .
(msdos_probe): Don't hard-code 512.

Now that "label" is malloc'd, be sure to free it before returning.
(read_table): Likewise.
Fix "make distcheck" failure due to not finding usable partition * m4/o-direct.m4: Require that read as well as write succeed. Require that both work with blocks of size 512 as well as 4096. Reiserfs3 doesn't support 512-byte reads. Allow the user running the test to specify the first directory to test via the PARTED_TMPDIR envvar, in case none of the dirs checked by default is usable.

Avoid a leak.
* parted/parted.c (do_print): Use separate variables for the header

* parted/table.c (table_add_row_from_strlist): Insert a newly

the argument corresponding to the "list" parameter.

Here's the patch I expect to apply.
It also removes an inter-part dependency by moving the creation
of the "o2" temporary file into the test where it's used.
Some of this duplication should be factored out, eventually...

Diagnose invalid command arguments.
This started because I objected to parted failing with no diagnostic
when given an invalid file system type:
$ /sbin/parted -s $dev mklabel loop mkpartfs hfsplus 0 1.4
WARNING: You are not superuser. Watch out for permissions.
[Exit 1]
With the changes below, it does this:
$ ./parted -s $dev mklabel loop mkpartfs hfsplus 0 1.4
./parted: invalid token: hfsplus
[Exit 1]
The following may look like a simple change, but looks are deceptive...
For example, if you try to diagnose via ped_exception_throw instead
of "error", you'll find that the mere fact of diagnosing the problem
introduces new ones because of how the exception handler manipulates the
global command line buffer containing the token we're complaining about.
But this isn't library code, so using error() is fine.
Diagnose invalid command arguments.
When a command argument doesn't match the expected candidate values,
parted would silently exit (in script mode) or simply act as if that
value and any following ones had not been specified (in interactive
mode). With this change, it complains about the "invalid token",
and in script mode (where there hasn't been a prompt to give context)
sometimes tells what type of token it was expecting.
* parted/ui.c: Include "error.h".
(command_line_get_word): If the user's "token" wasn't a good enough
match, give a diagnostic. In script mode, return NULL so that the
callers can give additional information.
* tests/t2000-mkfs.sh: New test for the above.
* tests/t0000-basic.sh: Expect the new diagnostic when "msdos" is
treated as an unrecognized first token after "mklabel". This happens
when trying to label a disk that already has a label.
* tests/t1100-busy-label.sh: Likewise.
2007-05-25 Jim Meyering
Use xmalloc and xrealloc, rather than unchecked malloc and realloc. * parted/table.c: Use gnulib's xmalloc and realloc. Remove anachronistic casts of malloc/realloc return value. Change "sizeof(type)" to safer "sizeof(*var)" (one of the former was wrong, but in a harmless way).
Fix off-by-one error in previous change. * parted/strlist.c (str_list_print_wrap): Don't output a space unconditionally.
Remove a silly (and dangerous) function.
This change has no effect, except in a low-memory condition,
where the old code would dereference NULL, the new code no
longer performs that malloc.
* parted/strlist.c (get_spaces): Remove this function.
Not only is it useless, but it also has an unchecked malloc.
(str_list_print_wrap): Don't allocate and initialize a string
just to print a sequence of N spaces.
doc/parted.texi (Static binaries): Correct an invalid example. One cannot specify "primary" for a partition on a loop device.
2007-05-24 Jim Meyering
Diagnose "ext2 FS too small" rather than triggering an assertion. * libparted/fs/ext2/ext2_mkfs.c (ext2_mkfs): An overlapping ext2 partition request could still lead to a bug: constraint-resolution code would produce a single-sector candidate "range", and that would cause the ext2 fs-creation code to misbehave. Now, it properly detects and reports the FS as being too small. * tests/t3000-constraints.sh: New test for the above. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add t3000-constraints.sh.
Fix typo in privs-required test setup. * tests/test-lib.sh: Fix typo: s/\$parted/$parted_/.
2007-05-23 Jim Meyering
Don't fail all tests when "." lacks O_DIRECT support.
I often build tools on a tmpfs file system (it's faster), and
found that parted tests always failed there. That's because it tries
to open the "device" (a file) with O_DIRECT, and at least the linux tmpfs
driver always fails with EINVAL in that case.
So here's a patch that makes it work.
Since the test may require writing in a directory like /tmp,
to which others typically have write access, it is particularly
careful about security (see the mkdtemp script below), in case
"make check" is run by e.g., root.
Don't fail all tests when "." lacks O_DIRECT support.
Before, running "make check" on a file system that doesn't support
O_DIRECT (e.g. tmpfs), would always fail. Now, it works, as long as
the test machinery can find a writable directory in which open with
O_DIRECT *does* work.
* m4/o-direct.m4: New file. Find a directory/FS with O_DIRECT support.
* configure.ac: Use the new macro.
* libparted/tests/t1000-label.sh: New file. Wrap the binary, so
it can take advantage of the code that finds O_DIRECT supporting FS.
* tests/mkdtemp: New file. Required, since when running tests as
root, we may have to create a temporary directory in a directory
like /tmp that's writable by others.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add mkdtemp.
* tests/test-lib.sh: When creating test subdir, and setting up "trap",
use the directory specified in $PARTED_USABLE_TEST_DIR.
Don't set PATH here. Now, that's done via the generated, and always-
sourced, init.sh. As a result, invoke parted via its full file name.
2007-05-19 Jim Meyering
Make all tests get their initialization from the same place. * tests/t2000-mkfs.sh: Get initialization via ". ./init.sh", not via ". ./test-lib.sh". * Makefile.maint (sc_test_init): New test, to ensure we stay consistent.
* tests/Makefile.am (init.sh): Make this generated file read-only.

mkpartfs ext2 2 10 would erroneously report "file system too small" for some small (single-group) partitions. It would also fail to report "file system too small" in some cases, and instead continue on to into inode-allocation code where it'd report "File system full!" * libparted/fs/ext2/ext2_mkfs.c (compute_block_counts): New function, factored out of... (ext2_mkfs): ...here. Call compute_block_counts rather than open-coded it. When decrementing numblocks, call compute_block_counts again, to recompute all of the derived values. Require at least 14 free blocks in a 16-inode-per-group partition. * tests/t1500-small-ext2.sh: New file. Test for the above. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add t1500-small-ext2.sh.

Fix exception handling in mkpart and mkpartfs
Parted mkpart and mkpartfs commands does:
...
ped_exception_fetch_all();
if (!ped_disk_add_partition (disk, part, final_constraint)) {
ped_exception_leave_all();
...
}
...
In mkpart if the ped_disk_add_partition() returns true it skips
ped_exception_leave_all() leaving ex_fetch_count = 1.
In mkpartfs if the ped_disk_add_partition() returns false it will
call ped_exception_leave_all() leaving ex_fetch_count negative.
The wrong count in ex_fetch_count will prevent next commands to
correctly handle exceptions, failing to prompt users for example.
Note: test script t2000-mkfs.sh improved to verify against this issue.

Note: tests/t2000-mkfs.sh was created to avoid it to happen again

Preventing compilation of DASD code on GNU Hurd systems through the use of AC_COMPILE_IFELSE and AM_CONDITIONAL, instead of #ifdef.
2007-05-07 Jim Meyering
Rewrite integration tests to use a new framework (git's). * tests/t1000-mkpartfs.sh: New file. * tests/t0000-basic.sh: New file. * tests/test-lib.sh: New file. Derived from git's t/test-lib.sh. * tests/lang-default, tests/priv-check: Remove files. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add test-lib.sh. Remove lang-default and priv-check; no longer used. * tests/part-01, tests/label-01: Remove files. * tests/part-02, tests/label-02: Likewise.
Merge branch 'inhibit-word-wrap'
Merge branch 'include-limits-h-for-CHAR_MAX'
Make ---pretend-input-tty inhibit output word-wrap. * parted/ui.c (screen_width): Use effectively-unlimited screen width with ---pretend-input-tty, just as for '--script' mode.
Suppress "you are not superuser..." warning in script mode. * parted/parted.c (_init): Do not emit this warning in script mode: "You are not superuser. Watch out for permissions."
Avoid "make distcheck" failure, with newer system headers. * parted/parted.c: Include , for use of CHAR_MAX.

On the edge branch, labeled the version as 1.9.0 so we can mark it more correctly as the development tree.

Revert "Remove unused label."
This reverts commit bfd9a6d8b6322d870650b0e92bd936035ab28e76.
Patch from Jim Meyering to linux_write() to support logical
sector sizes other than 512 (PED_SECTOR_SIZE_DEFAULT).
Fix primary partition cylinder alignment error for DOS disk labels.
Fix off-by-one bug in parted when displaying information about the disk label (the disk size, specifically).
Do not translate partition names in 'parted print' command. This causes problems for non-Latin-based character sets. Also, we don't want to translate the partition name here as we are just showing what is in the disklabel, translating it distorts what the value is.
Also added some malloc checks in table.c.
Remove unused label.

Reverted my patch to configure.ac to remove -Wl,--as-needed from LDFLAGS when checking for libreadline.
libreadline is a problematic library. Autoconf adds a block to the generated configure script that checks to see if we should be passing the --as-needed flag to ld(1). There are portability reasons this code exists (best I can figure), but it presents a problem when we scan for libreadline.
libreadline specifically has unresolved symbols on at least Fedora and RHEL. Why? Well, the developer can choose to provide libtermcap, libncurses, or libncursesw (wide-char support) at compile time which all satisfy the curses API dependency that libreadline has. When the parted configure script runs, it fails on readline because the --as-needed flag causes the linker to not include libncurses even though we already have that on the link line.
My solution is to remove the --as-needed flag when we scan for libreadline and then later check for rl_completion_matches() in libreadline.
More changes to set the version number to 1.8.3.
Set version to 1.8.3 for upcoming release.
