	version 3.2
	* NEWS: Record release date.

2014-07-27  Phillip Susi  <psusi@ubuntu.com>

	Bump library REVISION number for release

	tests: don't require en_US locale in t0251-gpt-unicode.sh
	Switch from en_US.UTF-8 to C.UTF-8 so the test does not fail on systems
	that do not have the en_US locale installed.

2014-06-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@fb.com>

	maint: correct a POT-file updating rule
	* doc/C/Makefile.am (updatepo): If there is no po/$name.pot,
	create an empty one.  Reported by Philip Susi.

2014-06-15  Phillip Susi  <psusi@ubuntu.com>

	tests: fix t9020-alignment.sh
	This test was refering to print-alignment by absolute path, which
	broke building with a different object directory, causing
	make distcheck to fail.

	Document resizepart command

	parted: Add stub resize command for backward compatibility
	To make sure that older scripts trying to use the resize command do not
	accidentally run the new resizepart command by mistake, this undocumented
	stub command will throw an error if called.

	parted: Allow undocumented commands
	Have command_print_summary print nothing if the command summary is NULL.
	This allows for a command to be registered, but not documented in the
	output of help.

	parted: make _partition_warn_busy actually a warning instead of an error
	This function was throwing a PED_EXCEPTION_ERROR with only the
	PED_EXCEPTION_CANCEL option.  Converted to a PED_EXCEPTION_WARNING
	with the option to continue anyhow.

	libparted: Add support for partition resize
	When resizing a partition ( same partition number, same
	start sector, different end sector ), try to use the
	new BLKPG_RES_PARTITION request to update the kernel
	partition table with the new size.  Also handle resizing
	devmapper targets.

2014-06-15  Petr Uzel  <petr.uzel@suse.cz>

	tests: excersise resize command
	a lot of TODOs

	parted: add resizepart command
	Add resizepart command to resize ( change the end position ) an existing
	partition.  Note that it does nothing to a filesystem in the partition.

2014-06-15  Brian C. Lane  <bcl@redhat.com>

	Fix python test scripts for distribution
	make distcheck was failing because these scripts were not being
	included.

	Make them both executable and and add the path to the tests that use
	them. They also need to be included in the distribution so update
	Makefile.am

	* tests/Makefile.am: Add python test scripts
	* tests/gpt-header-move.py: rename to gpt-header-move and make it
	  executable
	* tests/msdos-overlap.py: rename to overlap.py
	* tests/t0282-gpt-move-backup.sh: add path to scripts and use new name
	* tests/t0283-overlap-partitions.sh: same

2014-06-15  Brian C. Lane  <bcl@redhat.com>

	tests: check name when duplicating
	Create a second partition with a name when supported by the disk label.
	Check to make sure that the duplicate has copied over the name. The goal
	with this was to try to catch the bug fixed by the previous commit but I
	was unable to make it fail. But this should improve our test coverage
	anyway.

	* tests/duplicate.c: Add a partition name test.

2014-06-15  Brian C. Lane  <bcl@redhat.com>

	libparted: Fix part dupe with empty name
	It was setting the original translated_name to 0, not the new copy.

	* libparted/labels/gpt.c (gpt_partition_duplicate): fix empty name

2014-05-28  Jim Meyering  <meyering@fb.com>

	tests: use test's "=" operator, not "=="
	* tests/t1700-probe-fs.sh: Avoid "make syntax-check" error: s/==/=/

	tests: avoid false-positive failure due to symlink
	* tests/t6000-dm.sh (sanitize): Helper function.
	Before this change, this test would fail due to difference between
	absolute name and symlink-including names in "parted print" output

	maint: fix "make syntax-check" nits
	* doc/parted.texi: Update copyright year to 2014.
	* tests/gpt-header-move.py: Remove empty line at EOF.
	* tests/t0281-gpt-grow.sh: Correct reversed args to compare.
	* tests/t0282-gpt-move-backup.sh: Likewise.
	* libparted/labels/gpt.c (gpt_partition_set_name): Change "Can not"
	to "failed to" in diagnostic.
	(gpt_partition_get_name): Likewise.
	* tests/t1102-loop-label.sh (dev): Remove trailing space in
	here document that creates expected output, and strip that
	same trailing space from actual output.
	* libparted/fs/jfs/jfs.c: Do not cast alloca return value.
	* libparted/fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.c: Likewise.
	* libparted/fs/xfs/xfs.c: Likewise.

2014-05-27  Brian C. Lane  <bcl@redhat.com>

	tests: Use mkfs.xfs to create files (#1101112)
	On s390 there is a bug with mkfs.xfs and pre-existing files. Work around
	it by creating the file directly with mkfs.xfs. This also works on other
	arches.

	* tests/t1700-probe-fs.sh: Check for xfs and use direct file creation
	* tests/t4100-dvh-partition-limits.sh: Use mkfs.xfs -dfile
	* tests/t4100-msdos-partition-limits.sh: Use mkfs.xfs -dfile

2014-05-27  Brian C. Lane  <bcl@redhat.com>

	tests: Add ntfs vfat hfsplus to t1700 probe test
	Add some new filesystems to test. Adjust how mkfs.* tests, since some of
	them don't support -V, and add fsname so that the printed filesystem
	name doesn't have to match the type.

	* tests/t1700-probe-fs.sh: Add new filesystems to test

2014-05-26  Jim Meyering  <meyering@fb.com>

	maint: run "make update-copyright"

	* bootstrap: Update from gnulib.

2014-05-25  Sergei Antonov  <saproj@gmail.com>

	libparted: mac: support sector size > 512 correctly
	This patch fixes several problems found when trying to do Apple
	Partition Map on a 4K-sector iPod. The problems happened because of
	unneeded conversion between physical sectors and 512-byte units.
	For devices with sector 512 the conversion did no harm, for others it did.

	List of problems (all are gone with the patch):

	* Partition in OS X, connect to Linux, run "parted <dev> print".
	  "Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!" is shown.
	  Every partition is displayed 8 times (4k/512) bigger its real size.

	* Exec "mktable mac", connect to OS X.
	  The drive's partitioning scheme is not recognized.

	* mkpart creates partitions 8 times (4k/512) smaller than requested.

2014-05-22  Phillip Susi  <psusi@ubuntu.com>

	tests: test loop labels
	Verify previous fixes to loop labels.

	libparted: don't trash filesystem when writing loop label
	If you deleted the fake partition on a loop label, loop_write() would write
	the loop signature to the device, zeroing out all other bytes in the first
	sector.  When the disk contained an ext[234] filesystem and was using 2k
	sectors, this would trash the super block residing in the 1-2kb part of the
	sector causing the disk to become unrecognized.  Instead, read the existing
	sector and only modify the first few bytes that contain the loop label.

	libparted: give correct partition device name on loop labels
	ped_partition_get_path() was returning "/dev/foo1" instead of
	"/dev/foo" on loop labels.  This caused gparted to run tools like mkfs on
	a device node that did not actually exist.

	partprobe: do not skip loop labels
	Partprobe was not syncing loop labels.  This resulted it failing to remove
	existing partitions when switching to a loop label.

	libparted: don't create partition on loop label
	The loop label represents an unpartitioned disk, but creates
	a dummy partition to represent the whole disk.  This dummy partition
	was actually being loaded into the kernel.  Don't do that.

2014-05-22  Phillip Susi  <psusi@ubuntu.com>

	libparted: fix loop labels to not vanish
	The loop label type was using the existence of a partition as a proxy for
	a filesystem being detected, and loop_write() would try to write a loop
	signature if there was no filesystem, and erase it if there was.  Because
	of this, creating a partition without writing a filesystem to it caused
	loop_write to erase the loop label.

	There seems to be no reason to bother erasing the loop label if it is still
	present along with a filesystem signature, so don't bother with this, and
	actually check to see if a filesystem is detected in the partition rather
	than using the existence of a partition to decide if writing the loop
	signature is needed.  Finally, since there is no way to preserve the
	existence of a partition with no filesystem in it, have loop_read() always
	create a partition, even if no filesystem is detected.

2014-05-22  Phillip Susi  <psusi@ubuntu.com>

	libparted: remove all old partitions, even if new label allows less
	We were limiting partition sync operations to the lesser number allowed
	by the device, or the label.  This meant that when creating a new label
	over an old label that had more partitions than the new one allows, the
	higher partitions would not be removed.  Use the greater of the two values
	for the remove pass, and the lesser for the add.

	libparted: remove old partitions *first* before adding new ones
	"libparted: avoid disturbing partitions" put the remove of the old
	partition in second pass.  If you simultaneously removed partitions 1
	and 2, and created a new partition #1 that overlapped the previous second
	partition, the sync would fail because it would try to create the new,
	larger partition #1 before removing the old partition #2.

	libparted: don't detect fat and ntfs boot sectors as dos MBR
	fat and ntfs boot sectors are very similar to an MBR so if you had one of
	these filesystems on an unpartitioned disk, parted detected them as a dos
	partition table.  Have the dos label code call the fat and ntfs filesystem
	probes and if they recognize the sector ( their tests are more stringent )
	then don't claim it as a dos label.

2014-05-22  Phillip Susi  <psusi@ubuntu.com>

	parted: don't reload partition table on every command
	gpt was using a static local variable to suppress repeatedly reporting
	an error if you chose to ignore it.  This is incorrect as the variable is
	global to all disks, and ignoring the error on one should not suppress its
	reporting on another.  Moving the flag to the PedDisk object made it
	effectively useless because parted was destroying the PedDisk and reloading
	the partition table on every command.

	Parted has been reworked to cache the PedDisk once loaded, and only discard
	it when changing disks, or creating a new disklabel.

2014-05-22  Phillip Susi  <psusi@ubuntu.com>

	libparted: fix fat resize
	The changes to fix filesystem detection on non 512 byte sector sizes broke
	fat filesystem resizing.

2014-05-19  Brian C. Lane  <bcl@redhat.com>

	GPT strings are UCS-2LE not UTF-16
	There was a problem using UTF-16, it was writing the Byte Order Mark
	before the string which caused problems with older versions of parted
	reading the partition name. The test was skipping these 2 bytes when
	checking the written string.

	* libparted/labels/gpt.c: Switch to UCS-2LE for GPT Partition names
	* tests/t0251-gpt-unicode.sh: Update the test

2014-04-29  Brian C. Lane  <bcl@redhat.com>

	Update NEWS with new DASD features.
	* NEWS: New DASD support

2014-04-29  Petr Uzel  <petr.uzel@suse.cz>

	dasd: avoid usage of uninitialized data
	In ped_partition_new(), disk_specific data of PedPartition
	structure is allocated (via dasd_partition_new()). This
	data is later used uninitialized in dasd_partition_set_system().

	* libparted/labels/dasd.c (dasd_partition_new):
	Zero out allocated disk_specific data.

2014-04-29  Nageswara R Sastry  <rnsastry@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

	libparted: mklabel to support EDEV DASD
	Fixed Block Access (FBA) DASDs are mainframe-specific disk devices
	which are layed out as a sequence of 512-byte sectors. This patch adds
	support for mklabel to properly handle FBA devices.

	libparted: Avoid dasd as default disk type while probe
	This patch avoids setting 'dasd' as a default disk type for
	'disk image file' at the time of probe.

	libparted: mklabel to support EAV DASD
	Extended Address Volume (EAV) DASDs are ECKD DASDs with more than
	65520 cylinders. This patch adds support for mklabel to properly
	handle unformatted EAV DASDs.

2014-04-29  Nageswara R Sastry  <rnsastry@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

	libparted: add support for EAV DASD partitions
	Extended Address Volume (EAV) DASDs are ECKD DASDs with more than
	65520 cylinders. This patch adds support for recognizing and
	modifying partitions on EAV DASDs to Parted. The changes are
	based on the EAV support added to version 1.8.1 [1] of the
	s390-tools package.

	[1] http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/linux390/s390-tools-1.8.1.html

2014-04-29  Nageswara R Sastry  <rnsastry@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

	libparted: add support for implicit FBA DASD partitions
	Fixed Block Access (FBA) DASDs are mainframe-specific disk devices
	which are layed out as a sequence of 512-byte sectors. In contrast
	to ECKD DASDs, these disks do not require formatting and resemble
	the LBA layout of non-mainframe disks. Despite this resemblance,
	the Linux kernel applies special handling during partition detection
	for FBA DASDs, resulting in a single, immutable partition being
	reported.

	While actual FBA DASD hardware is no longer available, the z/VM
	hypervisor can simulate FBA DASD disks, backed by either ECKD or
	SCSI devices.

	This patch adds support for recognizing FBA DASD partitions
	to parted.

2014-04-18  Phillip Susi  <psusi@ubuntu.com>

	Fix filesystem detection on non 512 byte sectors
	Enable probing for filesystems with non 512 byte sectors, and fix up each
	filesystem to correctly handle that.  Remove unused field from the fs type
	structure listing acceptable sector sizes.

	tests: fix t2310-dos-extended-2-sector-min-offset.sh
	This test was ignoring the requested sector size and always using
	512 bytes per sector.  Fix it to use the requested sector size.

	tests: fix t1700
	bb181a7e: "tests: Use force for xfs in t1700 and a larger file" caused
	the previous filesystem signatures to be left in the image file
	causing mkfs.nilfs2 to complain that there is already an xfs filesystem
	there, and hang the test suite waiting for an answer to proceed or not.
	Remove the file between filesystems so it is recreated cleanly again.

	libparted: remove last_usable_if_grown
	Commit 3398e82a: "libparted: Use common function to calculate PTE sectors"
	removed usage of the last_usable_if_grown variable, resulting in an error
	because it is now unused but still defined.

2014-04-17  Brian C. Lane  <bcl@redhat.com>

	tests: t1700 change count to seek
	Fix a typo when changing to sparse images.

	* tests/t1700-probe-fs.sh: count should be seek.

2014-04-16  Brian C. Lane  <bcl@redhat.com>

	tests: Use force for xfs in t1700 and a larger file
	Also use sparse files that are (with 512B blocks) 128M so that they are
	large enough for all the filesystems.

	* tests/t1700-probe-fs.sh: Make changes.

2014-04-10  Ming Liu  <ming.liu@windriver.com>

	libparted: fix several integer overflows with dvh labels
	Integer overflows was found in libparted/labels/dvh.c, while attemptting
	assign unsigned int values to int types in some places.

	Defined by unsigned int instead.

	* libparted/labels/dvh.h: Change int to unsigned int

2014-04-10  Brian C. Lane  <bcl@redhat.com>

	testing: Use little-endian packing in gpt tests
	Fix gpt-header-move.py and gpt-header-munge to use little endian when
	packing and unpacking. This allows us to turn the t0210 and t0211 tests
	back on for big-endian systems.

	* tests/gpt-header-move.py: Use little endian for pack/unpack
	* tests/gpt-header-munge: Same
	* tests/t-lib-helpers.sh: Add requires_64bit_ that checks for x86_64 and ppc64
	* tests/t0210-gpt-resized-partition-entry-array.sh: Remove x86_64 test
	* tests/t0211-gpt-rewrite-header.sh: Same

2014-04-08  Brian C. Lane  <bcl@redhat.com>

	tests: Use msdos-overlap to setup t0283
	xxd isn't present in minimal build systems, as it is part of vim. Change
	to using a simple python script to mangle the msdos disklabel for the
	test.

	* tests/msdos-overlap.py: New file
	* tests/t0283-overlap-partitions.sh: Use msdos-overlap.py

2014-04-08  Brian C. Lane  <bcl@redhat.com>

	tests: Add emit_superuser_warning for gpt tests
	When parted runs without script mode it will print a warning about not
	being superuser. Add the library call to add this to expected output
	from the tests.

	* tests/t0281-gpt-grow.sh: Add emit_superuser_warning
	* tests/t0282-gpt-move-backup.sh: Add emit_superuser_warning
	* tests/t0283-overlap-partitions.sh: Add emit_superuser_warning

2014-04-08  Brian C. Lane  <bcl@redhat.com>

	libparted: Use common function to calculate PTE sectors
	Use _ptes_sectors in _parse_header's calculation to determine if the
	disk has been grown.

	* libparted/labels/gpt.c (_parse_header): use _ptes_sectors

2014-04-08  Brian C. Lane  <bcl@redhat.com>

	libparted: Fix check for backup header location
	Add a couple of helper functions for calculating the partition table
	entry size (in sectors) and for guessing the end of the disk based on
	the LastUsableLBA and the Partition Table Entry size.

	The backup header should be either at the end of the disk, or at what
	the primary header thinks is the end of the disk. Prompt to fix the
	backup header if it is located any other place.

	* libparted/labels/gpt.c (_ptes_sectors): New function
	  (_hdr_disk_end): New function
	  (gpt_read): Use new function to test for pri's idea of end of disk

2014-03-05  Gustavo Zacarias  <gustavo@zacarias.com.ar>

	ui: switch to new-style readline typedef
	The CPPFunction typedef (among others) have been deprecated in favour of
	specific prototyped typedefs since readline 4.2 (circa 2001).
	It's been working since because compatibility typedefs have been in
	place until they where removed in the recent readline 6.3 release.
	Switch to the new style to avoid build breakage.

2014-03-05  Phillip Susi  <psusi@ubuntu.com>

	libparted: sync partitions > 16
	The linux partition sync code was hard coded to only flush
	the first 16 partitions.

2014-03-02  Phillip Susi  <psusi@ubuntu.com>

	libparted: don't require a system id string
	Historically the system ID field of a fat boot sector contains a
	string identifying the OS that formatted it.  It appears that some
	recent versions of Windows have stopped bothering with this.  Stop
	requiring this string to recognize fat as valid.

2014-03-02  Brian C. Lane  <bcl@redhat.com>

	tests: Restrict gpt-header-munge to little-endian systems
	gpt-header-munge uses perl to manipulate the gpt header for the test. It
	only works on 64 bit little-endian systems so restrict it to x86_64
	only.

	* tests/t0210-gpt-resized-partition-entry-array.sh: Skip if not x86_64
	* tests/t0211-gpt-rewrite-header.sh: Skip if not x86_64

	bug#15591: [PATCH] libparted: handle i18n gpt partition names correctly
	gpt.c was simply truncating the UTF-16 characters stored
	in the partition name field to 8 bits.  This corrupted non
	ascii characters which later resulted in parted crashing in
	strlist.c trying to convert the now invalid multi byte
	characters to wchar.

	gpt.c will now properly convert the UTF-16 to the current
	locale encoding.

	GPT: add support for PReP GUID
	PReP (PowerPC Reference Platform) boot partition is the first partition used in
	PowerPC platform for containing the bootable kernel or bootloader. The firmware
	searches for this partition and jumps to it for booting. So far no GUID was
	specified for this partition type and hence booting from GPT disk was not
	supported on this platform. A new GUID 9e1a2d38-c612-4316-aa26-8b49521e5a8b for
	PReP partition is proposed to be included in GPT.

	Fix test compilation
	The tests were not being linked against libpthread but were using
	it, and recent versions of gcc refuse to implicitly pull it in.

	libparted: avoid disturbing partitions
	The partition sync logic was first removing all
	partitions, then trying to re-add them.  This resulted in many
	udev events triggering annoying behavior like auto mounting.
	Refactor the code to avoid removing and re-adding unmodified
	partitions.

	Revert "linux-commit: do not unnecessarily open partition device nodes"
	This reverts commit 2a6936fab4d4499a4b812dd330d3db50549029e0.  The commit
	disabled flushing the block buffer caches on the partition nodes to ensure
	cache consistency on 2.6 kernels, supposedly because this was no longer
	required.  It appears this was incorrect, and the caches DO still need
	flushed, otherwise a new fs written to the partition device does not show
	up in the disk device cache, causing parted to still identify the old fs.

	libparted: allow some common errors to be ignored
	Partitions that overlap or extend beyond the end of the disk are common
	errors that usually result in people having to use other tools to correct
	because parted refuses to operate when it sees them.  Change these errors
	to allow you to ignore them and use parted to correct the problem.

2013-11-23  Phillip Susi  <psusi@ubuntu.com>

	libparted: fix gpt end of disk handling
	There are two checks for problems with the end of disk.  The first checks
	to make sure that the backup gpt is actually at the end of the disk as it
	should be.  The second checks to see that the gpt's idea of where the disk
	ends is correct.  The handling of the backup gpt location was wrong because
	if you chose not to fix the error, then as soon as you made any changes the
	backup would be written to the end of the disk anyhow, only the previous
	backup would not be zeroed.

	This patch fixes the write path to put the backup gpt where the gpt says
	it goes, not where we think the disk ends.  This allows you to choose
	not to fix the problems, and the backup gpt will be written to the same
	place it was before, not the new end of disk.

	libparted: handle logical partitions starting immediately after the EBR
	_blkpg_add_partition() set the length of the extended partition
	to 2 sectors to allow LILO to be installed there, beacuse the
	linux kernel does this.  If a logical partition used that second
	sector, adding it would fail beacuse of the overlap.  Now
	_blkpg_add_partition() will limit the length to only the first
	sector if the second is used by a logical partition.

	Previously parted did create the partition table, and after a
	reboot, the kernel would recognize the table, and happily create
	the extended partition as 2 sectors long, thus overlapping the
	logical partition, but when parted tried to recreate the same
	table with BLKPG, the kernel rightly rejected it.

	gpt: Revert small device commits
	The following commit broke the position of the LastUsableLBA:

	48f236f9: gpt: permit "mklabel gpt" on a 67-sector device

	It introduced an off by one error, leaving LastUsableLBA pointing to
	the first sector of the backup partition table instead.

	This effectively reverts that commit, as well as adjusting the subsequent
	commits to instead use 68 sectors as the minimum length.  I believe
	this is the minimum legal size as at 67 sectors, there is no valid
	value for FirstUsableLBA and LastUsableLBA.

	tests: t6003-dm-hide: don't hang on exception
	If the parted -l found any exceptions, it would print the prompt, which was
	redirected to the log, then hang waiting for input, which never came.  Use
	script mode to disable the prompts.

	parted: fix EOF and ctrl-c handling
	feof() seems to not detect EOF after readline() hits it, so parted went
	into an infinite loop prompting for input on EOF.  Change test to use the
	got_ctrl_c variable instead, which is set when readline hits EOF and
	returns NULL.  This also makes parted properly exit on ctrl-c.

	dos: improve MBR signature generation
	Using tv_usec in struct timeval from gettimeofday() doesn't provide
	enough precision to fill an unsigned 32-bit integer and isn't really
	random. It it always less than one million when using the GNU C library
	while an unsigned 32-bit integer ranges between 0 and 4294967295.

	In FAT filesystem creation, parted already uses a better random
	generator, so move that code into a common function and use it
	for MS-DOS MBR signature generation.

	libparted: check PMBR before GPT partition table
	The UEFI spec requires that a valid GPT disk label have a PMBR
	partition. This moves the PMBR check to before the GPT check,
	exiting gpt_probe with a 0 if the PMBR is not valid.

	The previous behavior would cause problems in the following situation:
	 1. format a disk as GPT
	 2. re-format it as MSDOS using tools that don't understand GPT

	Subsequent operations with parted would then complain about the invalid
	PMBR, but would not allow the disk to be used as an msdos disk. This
	change causes parted to recognize the msdos partition table.

	libparted: avoid unwarranted failed assertion during mklabel
	This could happen when running "parted -s $dev mklabel $type" for
	nearly any $type, assuming the underlying disk's sector size is
	larger than 512 bytes.  This particular failure was noticed by
	running tests/t9050-partition-table-types.sh with a simulated
	sector size of 1024, as is done as part of a top-level "make check",
	but so far, this failure has shown up only on RHEL-6.2.
	That test attempts to exercise an ugly part of partition table
	creation: during creation, parted checks for an existing
	partition table by iterating through its list of known types and
	attempting to read the disk, looking for a preexisting table.
	Knowing this, the test takes all pairs of partition table types,
	<A,B> and first creates a type of type A, and then creates on top
	of that (erasing the original) a table of type B.
	* libparted/labels/mac.c (_disk_analyse_ghost_size): Remove bogus
	assertion.  If the number of the sector with a matching signature
	is too large, simply reject it by returning 0.

	when the byte-count required for a PTE table is smaller than
	the whole number of sectors would imply.  I.e., when the PTE table
	size is not a multiple of the sector size, there is a fraction of
	that final sector for which we do not read data, but we do write.
	Ensure we have space for the buffer we'll write and that it is

	libparted: gpt: rewrite even a 9-partition-entry table properly
	The vast majority of GPT partition tables have 128 PTEs (partition
	table entries.  However, zfs-related ones have only 9, and when
	rewriting one (which can happen only in interactive mode), parted
	would fail to write the full PTE array whenever the PTE array size

	* libparted/labels/gpt.c (gpt_write): When computing how many sectors

	* tests/t8001-loop-blkpg.sh: Ironically, when skipping this test,
	there was a race condition where in more than 7 out of 10 trials,

	libparted: gpt: a smaller device need not render both headers invalid
	Putting a valid GPT-labeled image on a smaller device, (i.e., one that
	truncates the backup GPT header, but that does not impact the primary
	one) should not render the primary header invalid.
	* libparted/labels/gpt.c (_header_is_valid): Do *not* reject a header
	when its last_usable value is larger than the device length.
	This reverts part of commit v3.0-10-g99f9c6a, "gpt: don't abort for a
	truncated GPT-formatted device".  With this change, running parted in
	interactive mode with such an image/device combination will recognize

	libparted: avoid the HDIO_GETGEO ioctl when possible
	We were using the long depreciated HDIO_GETGEO ioctl on the
	partition to get its start sector.  Use the new BLKPG_GET_PARTITION
	ioctl instead.  This allows for disks > 2TB and partitioned loop
	devices, which don't support HDIO_GETGEO.  As a fallback when
	BLKPG_GET_PARTITION fails or is not availible, try getting the
	values from sysfs, and finally use BLKGETSIZE64 and HDIO_GETGEO
	as a last resort.

	libparted: remove has_partitions check to allow loopback partitions
	Commit 1b766b69 added the _has_partitions function to check if a device
	was a loop device and if so, skip updating the kernel partition table
	because loop devices did not support partitions.  This function never
	worked anyway, and loop devices now (since linux 3.2) support
	partitions, so remove this crufty code.
	* libparted/arch/linux.c (_has_partitions): Remove function and
	all uses.

	libparted: remove _loop_get_partition_range
	Commit 1eb0cc30 added support for loop devices to be partitioned,
	but it only enabled that support if the kernel parameter max_part
	was non zero.  This parameter just reserves minor numbers for
	partitions in the traditional sequence that hard disks used.
	When it is zero, it is still possible to add partitions, they
	just will get minor numbers from another pool.  Removing this
	check allows partitions to be used on loop devices even when the
	loop module was not loaded with the max_part argument.

	and all uses.

	parted: mkpart: DWIM for IEC ending sector numbers like 2MiB and 9GiB
	Before, if the user specified start and end in mkpart command using
	IEC units, parted created a partition that starts and ends exactly on
	these positions. With such behavior, it is impossible to create
	partitions as follows: 1MiB-2MiB, 2MiB-3MiB - parted would complain
	that it cannot create the second partition, because the first one
	occupied sectors 2048-4096 and the second one sectors 4096-3072,
	so they would overlap at sector 4096.

	With this patch, if the user uses IEC units to specify end of the
	partition, parted creates the partition which ends one sector before
	the specified position.

	gpt: don't abort for a truncated GPT-formatted device
	This fixes the problem two ways.  The first fix (via gpt_alloc)
	rejects any device that is too small, but it is insufficient.
	Choose a slightly larger truncated device with an otherwise intact
	primary GPT header and you can still trigger the failed assertion.
	To fix it in general, we make _header_is_valid detect the problem.
	* libparted/labels/gpt.c (gpt_alloc): Reject a device that is so
	small that there is no room for a single partition.
	(_header_is_valid): Validate LastUsableLBA here, as well, so that
	we now reject as invalid any GPT header that specifies a
	LastUsableLBA larger than the device size.
	Leave the assertion in _parse_header.

	The snap radius didn't match the documentation, it has been using +/-
	unit size instead +/- 0.5 * unit (eg. 500KB for a MB unit). This caused
	problems when specifying 1MB, 1GB, etc. as a partition start or end
	resulting in partitions being created that were nowhere near the

	linux: also detect "in-use" dmraid and scsi-Nth (N>=16) partitions
	Prior to this change, Parted would fail to detect any in-use
	partition on a dmraid disk, as well as any in-use partition
	numbered 16 or greater on a regular scsi disk.
	This was because assumptions were being made about the device node
	major/minor numbers and how they relate to the partition number.
	These assumptions are invalid for dmraid devices, and for normal
	disks with >= 16 partitions.
	* libparted/arch/linux.c (_partition_get_part_dev): Remove function.

	build: update gnulib submodule to latest

	tests: avoid subtle shell semantics bug
	This bug was causing some root-only tests to be mistakenly skipped.
	This bash command will always exit successfully,
	i.e., the "return 1" will never happen:
	  bash -c 'f(){ local f=$(false)||return 1; return 0; }; f'
	That's because the assignment always succeeds, and that success
	is what determines the return value, not the $(...) command.
	This is very counter-intuitive, sigh.
	The work-around is to separate the declaration and assignment, as in
	local f; f=$(...) || ...
	* tests/t-local.sh (new_sdX_): Do that.

	linux: don't free invalid pointer upon asprintf failure
	* libparted/arch/linux.c (_device_get_part_path): When asprintf
	fails, it leaves its first argument in an undefined state, and
	hence that pointer must not be freed.  However, here, in two
	places we could potentially free an invalid pointer.  Use
	zasprintf; then the pointer is either NULL or allocated,
	and hence always freeable.

	linux: clean up device naming code (no semantic change)
	* libparted/arch/linux.c (zasprintf): New function.
	(_device_get_part_path): Clean up:
	Use size_t, not "int" for strlen-returned value.
	Combine mostly duplicate snprintf uses.
	Use zasprintf instead of malloc+snprintf.

	don't reference before start of buffer for short device name
	* libparted/arch/linux.c (_device_get_part_path): Avoid invalid

	* tests/t-local.sh (new_sdX_): New function.
	(scsi_debug_setup_): Use new_sdX_ to find the just-created device name,
	rather relying on the list of file names in /sys/block/sd* changing.
	Sometimes the list would not change, which would lead to tests failing
	with I/O errors when run in parallel.  Thanks to Brian Lane for the
	tip that /sys/block/sd*/device/model contains "scsi_debug" if there
	is a device created by our "modprobe scsi_debug" command.

	make parted "do what I say" with IEC start and end values like 5GiB
	In a command like this,
	  parted -s -- $dev mklabel gpt mkpart P-NAME 4MB -34s
	parted interprets the "4MB" as merely a suggestion for the starting
	sector number.  It uses half of the MB-units value as a "radius"
	about the sector containing byte 4,000,000, and it may choose some
	other more appropriate sector, based on partition table or alignment
	constraints within the range 3,500,000B..4,500,000B.
	Before, parted handled IEC units, i.e., KiB, MiB, GiB, etc.,
	with identically "helpful" sloppiness, of course honoring the
	power-of-two semantics.
	Now, however if you use IEC units, i.e., KiB, MiB, GiB, etc.,
	the "radius" is taken to be zero, so parted uses precisely
	whatever multiple of a power of two you've specified.
	Hence, adjusting the example above to use MiB, rather than "MB",
	  parted -s -- $dev mklabel gpt mkpart P-NAME 4MiB -34s
	With this change, that is equivalent to the following:
	  parted -s -- $dev mklabel gpt mkpart P-NAME 4194304B -34s
	I.e., it uses the sector containing precisely that byte, and
	does not perform any "extra" adjustment.
	* libparted/unit.c (is_power_of_2): New function.
	(ped_unit_parse_custom): Use it to avoid interpreting a large
	input string as "sloppy" (i.e. large radius) when it uses IEC

	doc: add NEWS entries for s390 fix and improvements

2011-02-23  Stephen Powell  <zlinuxman@wowway.com>

	s390: make DIAG driver work for FBA DASD with block size > 512
	In order to make the DIAG driver work for FBA DASD with a block
	size greater than 512, I had to make a rather awkward patch to
	C function vtoc_read_volume_label in libparted/labels/vtoc.c.
	The "right" logic would be "If this is an FBA DASD device
	using the DIAG driver, and the effective block size used by the
	DIAG driver is greater than 512, then do it this way.  Else,
	do it the normal way."  (Note that when using the FBA driver,
	the effective block size is always 512, regardless of the CMS
	logical block size stored in the volume label.  The DIAG driver,
	on the other hand, honors the CMS logical block size.)

	The problem is that the information needed to make that decision
	has not been provided to the routine (via the parameter list).
	So what I ended up doing is assuming the normal way, then if
	I don't find a recognized volume label header (VOL1, LNX1,
	or CMS1, in EBCDIC), then I assumed that it must be the special
	case.  So in the special case I end up doing an unnecessary
	read.  It's a kludge, but it works.

	tests: new script to generate 9-pte-GPT-tables

	* libparted/labels/gpt.c: Use compile-time "verify" rather than

2011-02-23  Stephen Powell  <zlinuxman@wowway.com>

	s390: improve/correct DASD support
	The long title would be "corrections to partition size and location
	calculations for type 1 partitions for s390 dasd".

	This could be treated as two separate fixes, one to make corrections
	for LDL formatted disks and one to add support for CMS formatted
	disks.  I see CMS formatted disks as a variant of LDL formatted
	disks, with the additional twist that CMS formatted disks can
	be reserved or recomped, which LDL formatted disks cannot be.
	This affects the size and location of the partition.

	With these patches, parted matches the behavior of the Linux kernel
	in recognizing partitions on CMS- and LDL-formatted disks, as documented
	in the Linux kernel source code in routine fs/partitions/ibm.c.
	Calculation of the metadata has also been changed so that parted will
	show no free space on such a disk.  In some cases there are now two
	non-contiguous metadata extents: one at the beginning of the disk and
	one at the end.

	As before, parted only supports CKD DASD using the ECKD driver.
	FBA DASD and CKD DASD using the DIAG driver are still not supported.

	In my regression testing I have discovered some problems in the area
	of recognizing file system options.  However, since I can duplicate
	these errors on a version of parted which does not contain my changes,
	I have concluded that my changes did not cause this and therefore
	this is an unrelated bug.

	libparted: remove limits on loop labels
	There's no reason to impose any particular limit on loop labels, since
	they just represent a single large partition.  Sector counts over 2^32
	are needed for large RAID arrays.  Change the limit to 2^64 since that's
	the upper limit imposed by libparted and it saves us implementing the
	limit functions separately.  This bug appears to have been introduced
	by commit 2dbc645c.

	libparted: avoid race in informing the kernel of partition table changes
	When sync'ing a partition table change using the latest
	code, sometimes we'd get an unwarranted failure like this:

	    Warning: Partition(s) 1 on /dev/sdd have been written, but we
	    have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because
	    it/they are in use.  As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in
	    use.  You should reboot now before making further changes.

	To be precise, when running the partition-resizing root-only test
	in a loop:

	    for i in $(seq 240); do make -C tests check VERBOSE=yes \
	    TESTS=t3000-resize-fs.sh >& log.$i && printf . || echo $i $?; done

	I would typically see about 50% of them fail on a Fedora 13 system.
	It was obvious that this was due to a race condition when I found that
	modifying that tests' parted...resize invocation to go via strace changed
	the timing enough to make the test pass every time.

	The fix is to retry the partition-removal step upon any EBUSY failure,
	currently for up to 1 second (retrying up to 100 times, sleeping 10ms
	after each failure).

	* libparted/arch/linux.c (_disk_sync_part_table): Allocate "ok" using
	calloc, now that its initial values matter.
	Retry each removal upon EBUSY-failure.

	dos: always allow at least two sectors for extended boot record
	Unless specifically told otherwise, the Linux kernel considers extended
	boot records to be two sectors long, in order to "leave room for LILO".
	When using anything other than cylinder alignment, libparted was only
	allowing one sector in the minimum extended partition geometry, which in
	some situations (e.g. following Phillip Susi's patch to reintroduce
	BLKPG) could confuse the kernel into thinking that the EBR and the first
	logical partition overlapped.

2010-04-23  Phillip Susi  <psusi@cfl.rr.com>

	libparted: improve BLKPG error checking
	This patch cleans up the BLKPG code that the previous patch put back
	to perform proper error checking and in the event that some partitions
	are in use, they can not be modified in the running kernel using BLKPG.
	Warn the user that this is the case and advise them to reboot, just like
	we do when BLKRRPART fails for the same reason, unless the partition in
	question is unchanged.

	libparted: reenable use of BLKPG ioctls
	This patch effectively reverses commit 1d8f9bec which removed the code
	using the new BLKPG ioctls instead of the old BLKRRPART ioctl to update
	the in-kernel partition table.  The reason for this is because BLKRRPART
	fails if any partition on the disk is in use, but the BLKPG ioctls allow
	you to manipulate the other partitions on the disk without requiring a
	reboot.  Also BLKRRPART requires that the kernel understand the
	partition table on the disk, which may not always be the case.

	libparted: add test for /dev/mapper symlink issue
	Sometimes, libparted operates on device mapper files with a path of
	/dev/mapper/foo.  With newer lvm versions /dev/mapper/foo is a symlink
	to /dev/dm-#. However some storage administration programs (anaconda,
	for example) may do the following:
	1) Create a ped_device for /dev/mapper/foo
	2) ped_get_device resolves the symlink to /dev/dm-#, and the path
	   in the PedDevice struct points to /dev/dm-#
	3) The program does some things to lvm, causing the symlink to
	   point to a different /dev/dm-# node
	4) The program does something with the PedDevice, which results
	   in an operation on the wrong device

	Newer libparted versions do not suffer from this problem, as they
	do not canonicalize device names under /dev/mapper. This test checks
	for this bug.

	* libparted/tests/symlink.c: New test which tests for this issue.

	sun: initialize basic partition table fields
	libparted completely ignores basic fields (version, nparts and sanity)
	in the sun VTOC, then for example fdisk prints warnings for such
	partition table:

		# fdisk -lu /dev/sdb
		Detected sun disklabel with wrong version [0x00000000].
		Detected sun disklabel with wrong sanity [0x00000000].
		Detected sun disklabel with wrong num_partitions [0].

	It seems that the current libparted sun support follows old Linux
	kernel code, but the code was changed 3 years ago (see kernel commit
	3961bae0ac030a70ae2e0578270203889021f1a1).

	Note that the number of partitions (nparts) is optional for Linux
	kernel, but fdisk(8) strictly requires SUN_DISK_MAXPARTITIONS (=8)
	there. This patch sets nparts to SUN_DISK_MAXPARTITIONS rather then
	use a real number of partitions.

	linux: add wait time and retries to kernel partition reread
	Occasionally when using parted with newer GNU/Linux kernels (2.6.31)
	and udev (145), the kernel would fail to reread the partition table.
	This could lead to problems with subsequent actions such as formatting
	the partition.

	Basically this patch increases the retry_count, and adds one sleep(1)
	function call prior to the the last few ioctl() calls.

	This patch might not be a perfect solution to this problem of "failure
	to inform kernel of partition changes", but it does significantly
	reduce the likelihood of encountering the problem.

	parted: change warnings when initial constrained mkpart fails
	In do_mkpart we first try to create a partition using a constraint
	derived from the user input intersected with the devices alignment
	needs. And if that fails we try again without any constraint.

	However the warning given when this happens only takes into account
	the user not getting what he asked for, while the alignment might be
	a problem too (or even the only problem). So this patch adds a check
	to see if the user really did not get what he asked before giving that
	warning, and adds a new check + warning to see if the created partition
	is properly aligned.
	*parted/parted.c (do_mkpart,do_mkpartfs): change warnings when initial

	linux: handle incomplete topology information
	The topology information returned by libblkid is not always complete
	(as the kernel does not always have complete information).
	This patch makes the linux_get_*_alignment() alignment functions handle
	this. The algorithm used for linux_get_optimum_alignment is:
	1) Always use the reported aligment offset as offset
	2a)If optimal io size is present in the topology info use that as grain
	2b)If optimal io size is not present in topology info and aligment
	   offset is 0 and minimum io size is a power of 2, use the device.c
	   default optimal alignment (grain 1MiB).
	2c) If neither 2a and 2b, use the minimum io size, or if that is not
	   defined, use the physical sector size as grain (iow the minimum
	   alignment).
	The algorithm used for linux_get_minimum_alignment is:
	1) Always use the reported aligment offset as offset
	2) Use the minimum io size, or if that is not defined the physical
	   sector size as grain.
	* libparted/arch/linux.c (linux_get_*_alignment): Handle incomplete
	topology information.

	libparted: Give device_get_*_alignment sane defaults
	When the topology info is incomplete or non existent, return something

	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)

	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.

	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).

	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".

	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 <parted/device.h>.
	(fdasd_get_geometry): Add a new "dev" parameter, required for

	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.

	* libparted/labels/dasd.c (dasd_probe): Also allow PED_DEVICE_FILE.

	sectors as long as loop_probe succeeded.  Now we simply clear
	the first sector.

	dasd: avoid NULL-dereference via disk->type->ops->partition_check
	Commit f387fee8 added the new ops->partition_check() function,
	and a <type>_partition_check function for each partition table
	format _except_ dasd.  This change adds one for dasd, too.
	* libparted/labels/dasd.c: Include "pt-tools.h".

	Considering the 32-bit fields in "struct fdasd_hd_geometry",

	gpt: greatly simply gpt_clobber; minor semantic change, too
	* libparted/labels/gpt.c (gpt_clobber): Don't bother to read and
	parse existing headers.  Instead, simply clear three sectors:
	the pMBR, the primary header (LBA1), and the last sector.
	There is no point in clearing what the primary header says is the
	AlternateLBA, since once the primary header and the last sector
	are cleared, there is no risk of any tool using it by mistake.

	tests: t0000-basic.sh: minor correction
	* tests/t0000-basic.sh: When zeroing out the first sector,
	use dd's conv=notrunc.  Otherwise, we'd also truncate the
	backing file size to 4KiB.

	linux_read: give a proper diagnostic for an "end of file" error
	Before today's gpt_probe bug fix, its test case would provoke
	an invalid diagnostic.  This makes the diagnostic useful.
	* libparted/arch/linux.c (linux_read): When hitting EOF while reading,
	diagnose it properly, rather than via strerror(0) (i.e., "Success").

	gpt_probe: don't attempt to read beyond end of a very small disk
	* libparted/labels/gpt.c (gpt_probe): Don't try to read the
	2nd sector if that's beyond the end of the disk.
	* tests/t0001-tiny.sh: New test, to expose the above boundary-case bug.
	Part of the msdos-partition-creation process involves probing for
	other types of partition tables.  Probing for gpt would evoke a
	nonsensical diagnostic.

	dasd: fix ped_disk_new_fresh to not read old data from disk
	dasd_write(), was reading the volume label from the disk (trough
	fdasd_check_volume()) and later writing it back again, this is fine for
	existing dasd labels, but when creating a fresh label, this would
	also cause the old volume label to be re-used, and if the old label
	was corrupt, it would cause fdasd_check_volume() and thus dasd_write()
	to fail.  Reported here: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/533808

2009-11-04  Hans de Goede  <hdegoede@redhat.com>

	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

	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.

2009-11-04  Hans de Goede  <hdegoede@redhat.com>

	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.

	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

	account.

2009-11-01  Hans de Goede  <hdegoede@redhat.com>

	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.

	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/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."

	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.

2009-08-28  Hans de Goede  <hdegoede@redhat.com>

	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.

2009-08-28  Hans de Goede  <hdegoede@redhat.com>

	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.

2009-08-26  Petr Uzel  <petr.uzel@suse.cz>

	dos: adjust variable declarations
	* libparted/labels/dos.c (write_ext_table): Move declaration of S down

	* dos.c (DOS_N_PRI_PARTITIONS): Define.

	(write_empty_table, msdos_write): Likewise.

	tests: t0202-gpt-pmbr.sh: various fixes
	* tests/t0202-gpt-pmbr.sh: use $bootcode_size variable instead
	of plain 446.  Do not use /dev/urandom since it might not exist.

	tests: t2300-dos-label-extended-bootcode.sh: various fixes
	* tests/t2300-dos-label-extended-bootcode.sh:
	- fix typo where only first 400B of fake bootcode was installed
	- use bootcode_size variable and increase its value from 440 to 446
	- do not use /dev/urandom since it might not exist

2009-08-22  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

2009-08-21  Joel Granados Moreno  <jgranado@redhat.com>

	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.

2009-08-21  Joel Granados Moreno  <jgranado@redhat.com>

	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.

2009-08-06  Colin Watson  <cjwatson@ubuntu.com>

	Use fsync rather than O_DIRECT
	O_DIRECT doesn't work on all filesystems (e.g. tmpfs), and fsync does
	just as good a job to ensure that buffers are flushed.

	Based on

	tests: t2200-dos-label-recog.sh: adapt to work with larger sector size
	Using a 100K image is inadequate for larger sector sizes, since it

2009-07-24  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	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".

2009-07-24  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	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.

	(_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.

	Make "mklabel loop" work with >512 sector_size, even when...
	there is an existing "msdos" label.
	(msdos_clobber): Make it work with >512 sector_size.

	Make "mklabel loop" work with >512 sector_size.

	Make "mklabel msdos" work with >512 sector_size.

	Make "mklabel bsd" work with >512 sector_size.

	Make "mklabel mac" work with >512-byte sector_size.

	Add a FIXME comment.

	start to make things work with 2048-byte sector size.
	Done so far: amiga, bsd, loop, gpt.
	Fix leaks along the way.
	remove unused label
	Add a cast to avoid a warning.

	Avoid compilation failure on s390
	To export LinuxSpecific stuff for labels, in this case fdasd, we now
	provide arch/linux.h. This aids in avoiding code duplication.

	* configure.ac: add BUILD_LINUX conditional.
	* libparted/Makefile.am: conditionally use linux.h.
	* libparted/arch/linux.c: move LinuxSpecific stuff to linux.h.
	* libparted/arch/linux.h: New file.

	* parted/strlist.c (gettext_to_wchar) [ENABLE_NLS]: Use xrealloc,

	with specific disk label types.

2009-06-10  Joel Granados Moreno  <jgranado@redhat.com>

	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.

2009-06-10  Joel Granados Moreno  <jgranado@redhat.com>

	tests: verify that "md" devices are not listed
	* tests/t6001-dm-ignored.sh: New test file.
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

	* libparted/arch/linux.c (_skip_entry) : Add "md" to the entries
	array so all devices of type "/dev/md#" get ignored.

2009-06-10  Joel Granados Moreno  <jgranado@redhat.com>

	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.

	Fixes this:

	gpt: fix gpt_read to read all of the partition entries correctly
	* libparted/labels/gpt.c (gpt_read): Use the SizeOfPartitionEntry
	field value when reading the partition entries rather than assuming
	that the entries are the same size as our struct.
	(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.
	With minor adjustments by Joel Granados Moreno.

2009-06-10  Joel Granados Moreno  <jgranado@redhat.com>

	Tweak distcheck.

	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  <jgranado@redhat.com>

	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  <jgranado@redhat.com>

	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
	_is_major_type with type "virtblk".
	* libparted/arch/linux.c (_device_probe_type): Add a new
	PED_DEVICE_VIRTBLK case to the probe possibilities.
	* libparted/arch/linux.c (linux_new): Add a new PED_DEVICE_VIRTBLK case
	to the possible device types.

	rename all "support" parameters; avoid new compiler warnings
	Change each occurrence like this (which evokes a warning from gcc):
	-	return *supported = MAX_TOTAL_PART;
	to this:
	+	*max_n = MAX_TOTAL_PART;
	+	return true;

	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: 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.

	* libparted/labels/sun.c [_SunPartitionData] (is_raid): New member.
	(sun_read): Initialize the ->is_raid member.
	(sun_partition_new): Clear is_raid, like all the other members.
