	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.
	* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this.

2012-02-25  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	doc: improve NEWS
	* NEWS: Expand/adjust wording in two entries.

2012-02-21  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	tests: sanitize PATH; do not discard mkswap output
	* tests/init.cfg (sanitize_path_): New function, from coreutils.
	Use it.
	* tests/t9050-partition-table-types.sh: Do not discard mkswap output
	and diagnostics.  This test would fail (e.g., on OpenSUSE 12.1), when
	run with PATH not including /sbin.  Reported by Bruno Haible.

2012-02-18  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	tests: skip failing use of mkfs.hfs unless using newer, fixed version
	The old, segfaulting version does not recognize the -v option, while
	the new one does.  Use that to skip the test when it seems that
	fsck.hfs is broken.
	* tests/t3000-resize-fs.sh: Skip part of this root-only test
	when fsck.hfs is the always-segfaulting version.

	build,test: update gnulib, bootstrap and init.sh
	* bootstrap: Update.
	* tests/init.sh: Update.
	* gnulib: Update.
	* doc/po4a.mk: Updating gnulib pulls in newer syntax-check rules,
	including one that rejects @lower_case@ variables in Makefiles.
	Fix the sole violation: s/@mandir@/$(mandir)/

	build: avoid non-srcdir build failure
	* libparted/fs/Makefile.am: s!fsresize.sym!$(srcdir)/fsresize.sym!

2012-02-10  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	maint: placate syntax-check wrt tests/fs-resize.c
	* tests/fs-resize.c (main): Remove unused #includes.
	Do use set_program_name, to placate syntax-check.

	doc: mention HFS+/FAT file system resizing in NEWS
	* NEWS (New features): Mention it.

	tests: test FAT and HFS file system resizing
	* tests/t3000-resize-fs.sh: New test.
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
	(check_PROGRAMS): Add fs-resize.
	(fs_resize_LDADD): Define, so it links with both libraries.

2012-02-10  Christoph Hellwig  <hch@lst.de>

	tests: add FS-resize test driver
	* tests/fs-resize.c: New file, to test FAT/HFS resizing.

2012-02-10  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	lib-fs-resize: use linker script to expose only selected functions
	* libparted/fs/Makefile.am (libparted_fs_resize_la_LDFLAGS): Define.
	(EXTRA_DIST): Distribute the new file.
	(libparted_fs_resize_la_DEPENDENCIES): Make the library depend on it.
	* libparted/fs/fsresize.sym: New file.

	maint: remove r/hfs/DOC,HISTORY,TODO; add VERSION for new library

	lib-fs-resize: rewrite ped_file_system_clobber
	Before, it would probe for an existing file system type and then,
	according to what it found, call the corresponding <FS_TYPE>_clobber
	function.  Now that we have restored only HFS and FAT FS-writing
	support, only those few types have a corresponding _clobber function.
	We would obviously fail to clear common types of file systems, and even
	if we were to restore all previous _clobber functions, none of those
	were able to handle sector sizes larger than 512.  Not worth it.
	* libparted/fs/r/filesys.c: Include pt-tools.h.
	(MIN): Define.
	(ped_file_system_clobber): Rewrite not to use hfs*_clobber or
	fat_clobber.  Instead, simply clear the first three and last two
	sectors of the specified "device".
	* libparted/fs/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Add
	-I$(top_srcdir)/libparted/labels for new use of a ptt_* function.

	lib-fs-resize: add wrappers for open,close,resize,get_resize_constraint
	* libparted/fs/r/filesys.c: Implement ped_file_system_resize,
	ped_file_system_open, ped_file_system_close and
	ped_file_system_get_resize_constraint.
	* libparted/fs/r/hfs/hfs.c: Give a few functions global scope,
	so we can use them from the above.
	* libparted/fs/Makefile.am: Use automake's subdir-objects option.
	This avoids conflicts with multiple *.o file names
	(e.g., fat.o), now that two directories provide that name.
	(AM_CFLAGS): Disable $(WERROR_CFLAGS), for now.

	maint: update copyrights in r/

2012-02-07  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	lib-fs-resize: re-add HFS and FAT file-system-related code
	This just adds the code, without hooking it up yet.
	* po/POTFILES.in: Add all libparted/fs/r/**.c files.

	maint: remove now-unused fat-related functions
	* libparted/fs/fat/bootsector.c (fat_boot_sector_generate)
	(fat_boot_sector_write, fat_info_sector_write): Remove functions.
	(fat_boot_sector_set_boot_code): Likewise.
	* libparted/fs/fat/bootsector.h: Remove declarations.
	* libparted/fs/fat/fat.c (fat_set_frag_sectors, fat_free_buffers):
	Remove function.
	* libparted/fs/fat/fat.h: Remove declarations.

	tests: set PARTED_TEST_NAME, for valgrind
	* tests/Makefile.am (PARTED_TEST_NAME): Define.
	* tests/t0211-gpt-rewrite-header.sh: Clarify a comment.

	libparted: gpt: avoid heap-read-overrun when rewriting 9-PTE table
	Now that parted can rewrite a corrupt-or-misaligned 9-PTE table,
	we have to be careful to allocate space for slightly more data
	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
	initialized (to 0's).
	* libparted/labels/gpt.c (gpt_write): Allocate the right amount of
	space.  Use calloc, not malloc+memset.

2012-02-03  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	maint: adjust the URL that will appear in the generated announcement
	* cfg.mk (url_dir_list): Use this http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/$(PACKAGE)
	for the first link listed in the generated announcement.
	announce-gen now provides the faster mirror link automatically.

	ui: rewrite disk_print_flags and partition_print_flags
	* parted/parted.c (disk_print_flags): Avoid NULL-dereference on
	failed malloc.  Use xrealloc, not ped_realloc.
	(partition_print_flags): Likewise; nearly identical code.

	tests: avoid relatively harmless new "make syntax-check" failure
	* tests/t0209-gpt-pmbr_boot.sh: Reverse compare arguments.

	libparted: remove ped_realloc, now unused
	* include/parted/parted.in.h (ped_realloc): Remove declaration.
	* libparted/libparted.c (ped_realloc): Remove definition.

2012-02-02  Brian C. Lane  <bcl@redhat.com>

	doc: update parted documentation
	* doc/parted.text: Add disk_set command.

	tests: add test for GPT PMBR pmbr_boot flag
	* tests/t0209-gpt-pmbr_boot.sh: New test
	* tests/Makefile.am: Add new test
	* NEWS: Add information about the GPT PMBR pmbr_boot flag

	tests: update tests for new disk flags output
	* tests/t0010-script-no-ctrl-chars.sh: Updated
	* tests/t0100-print.sh: Updated

	* tests/t4100-dvh-partition-limits.sh: Updated
	* tests/t4100-msdos-partition-limits.sh: Updated
	* tests/t4100-msdos-starting-sector.sh: Updated
	* tests/t4200-partprobe.sh: Updated
	* tests/t5000-tags.sh: Updated
	* tests/t6000-dm.sh: Updated
	* tests/t9040-many-partitions.sh: Updated
	* tests/t9041-undetected-in-use-16th-partition.sh: Updated

2012-02-02  Brian C. Lane  <bcl@redhat.com>

	parted: when printing, also print the new disk flags
	This adds a 'Disk Flags:' line the displays the active disk flags.
	In machine mode this is appended to the disk info line, after the
	device model.

	* parted/parted.c (disk_print_flags): New function
	(_print_disk_info): Add Disk Flags information.

2012-02-02  Matthew Garrett  <mjg@redhat.com>

	gpt: add commands to manipulate pMBR boot flag
	Some BIOS systems will only boot from GPT partitions if the boot flag is
	set on the protective MBR partition. This adds the ability to set this
	flag using the disk_set and disk_toggle commands.
	* include/parted/disk.in.h (_PedDiskFlag): Add PED_DISK_GPT_PMBR_BOOT
	* libparted/disk.c (ped_disk_flag_get_name): Add PED_DISK_GPT_PMBR_BOOT
	* libparted/labels/gpt.c (_GPTDiskData): Add pmbr_boot flag.
	(gpt_alloc): Init pmbr_boot to 0.
	(gpt_read_headers): Set pmbr_boot state from PMBR boot flag.
	(_write_pmbr): Add pmbr_boot flag and set PMBR boot flag from it.
	(gpt_write): Pass pmbr_boot flag through to _write_pmbr
	(gpt_disk_set_flag): New function
	(gpt_disk_is_flag_available): New function
	(gpt_disk_get_flag): New function
	(gpt_disk_ops): Add disk_set_flag, disk_get_flag, disk_is_flag_available
	* parted/parted.c (do_disk_set): New function
	(do_disk_toggle): New function
	(_init_commands): Add do_disk_set and do_disk_toggle
	* parted/ui.c (command_line_get_disk_flag): New function
	* parted/ui.h: Add command_line_get_disk_flag prototype.

2012-01-23  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	tests: create 128 partitions also in the scsi-backed test
	* tests/t9040-many-partitions.sh: Tighten up: use less memory:
	1 sector per partition rather than 256.
	Exec parted just once, not once per partition.
	With that, we can increase the number of partitions to create
	from 60 (which used to take 2.5 minutes on an F12-era kernel)
	to the standard-GPT-header-imposed maximum of 128.
	Suggested by Phillip Susi.

	tests: exercise today's bug fix, creating a GPT table with 128 entries
	* tests/t0212-gpt-many-partitions.sh: New test.
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

	libparted: gpt: avoid invalid free with many (~100) partitions
	* parted/parted.c (do_print): Remove invalid free.
	Bug introduced via v1.8.8.1-19-gb56d69c.
	* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this.

2012-01-22  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	tests: test for yesterday's bug fix
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
	* tests/t0211-gpt-rewrite-header.sh: New test.

	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
	was not a multiple of the sector size.  This fixes the same type
	of bug as v3.0-45-gce85c51.
	* libparted/labels/gpt.c (gpt_write): When computing how many sectors
	to write for the PTE array, round up rather than truncating.  This
	matters only when n_PTEs * 128 is not a multiple of the sector size.
	For details on how to reproduce see the test or
	http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.parted.bugs/10691/focus=10695
	* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.

2012-01-21  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	maint: clean-up preparing for bug fix
	* libparted/labels/gpt.c (gpt_write): Rename local:
	s/ptes_size/ptes_bytes/; declare as size_t, not "int".
	Move decls "down".

2012-01-19  Phillip Susi  <psusi@cfl.rr.com>

	libparted: raise dos partition limit from 16 to 64
	* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
	* libparted/labels/dos.c (MAX_TOTAL_PART): s/16/64/
	* tests/t9042-dos-partition-limit.sh: s/13/61/ (MAX_TOTAL_PART-3)
	(adjust/factor some of the logic - jmm)

2012-01-18  Phillip Susi  <psusi@cfl.rr.com>

	libparted: enforce dos partition limit
	The msdos partition table claimed a maximum partition count of 16
	but would allow you to go beyond that.  This resulted in the kernel
	not being informed of those partitions.  Corrected to enforce the
	limit.

	* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
	* libparted/labels/dos.c (next_primary): Return -1 upon failure.
	(next_logical): Stop no later than MAX_TOTAL_PART.
	Throw exception and return -1 upon failure.
	(msdos_partition_enumerate): Convert a negative partition number
	return value from either of the above two to failure (return 0).
	* tests/t9042-dos-partition-limit.sh: New file.
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

2012-01-13  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	build: revert the recent "fix" to avoid make warnings about linux.lo
	It avoided the warning, but introduced a real problem
	when building from a clean directory.
	The real solution will have to wait, since it appears to
	depend on a fix in automake.

	This reverts commit a3c351c2d1cf2c0000bbc681959695c612bd19a0.

2012-01-13  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	build: don't use -version for convenience libraries
	Don't use -release, either.  This avoids warnings from libtool.
	* libparted/fs/Makefile.am (libfs_la_LDFLAGS): Remove.

	build: use LT_INIT, to make bootstrap run libtoolize
	* configure.ac: Use LT_INIT, so that bootstrap runs libtoolize,
	which creates build-aux/ltmain.sh.

2012-01-12  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	maint: remove useless BUILD_LINUX conditional
	* configure.ac (BUILD_LINUX): Don't set it.
	* libparted/Makefile.am (BUILD_LINUX): Remove useless use.

2012-01-12  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	maint: avoid long-standing warnings from make:
	  Makefile:1274: warning: overriding recipe for target `linux.lo'
	  Makefile:1267: warning: ignoring old recipe for target `linux.lo'

	* libparted/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Rename from
	EXTRA_libparted_la_SOURCES.

2012-01-12  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	libparted: provide a new convenience function: ptt_geom_clear_sectors
	* libparted/labels/pt-tools.c (ptt_geom_clear_sectors): New function.
	* libparted/labels/pt-tools.h: Declare it.

2012-01-11  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	maint: remove "MAINTAINERCLEANFILES = Makefile.in" from Makefile.am's
	* debug/Makefile.am: As above.
	* debug/test/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* doc/C/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* doc/pt_BR/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* include/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* include/parted/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* libparted/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* libparted/fs/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* libparted/tests/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* partprobe/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* doc/Makefile.am: Likewise, for mdate-sh and texinfo.tex.

2012-01-10  Keshav P R  <the.ridikulus.rat@gmail.com>

	build: insert -I$(top_builddir)/include before -I$(top_srcdir)/include
	everywhere, for those who perform non-srcdir builds from a pristine
	cloned directory.  There is no problem when building from a tarball,
	since that includes include/parted/*.h files under $(top_srcdir).
	* libparted/Makefile.am: Insert it.
	* libparted/fs/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* libparted/labels/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* libparted/tests/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* parted/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* partprobe/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* tests/Makefile.am: Likewise.

2012-01-10  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	build: .gitignore: ignore more

	maint: hoist libparted/fs/*/Makefile.am into parent Makefile.am
	There was no need to have a separate Makefile.am for each file system
	type, and a good reason *not* to do that (reduce duplication).
	* configure.ac (AC_OUTPUT): Remove Makefiles.
	* libparted/fs/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Remove.
	(EXTRA_DIST): List the two non-src files: hfs/DOC hfs/HISTORY.
	(libfs_la_SOURCES): Hoist file names to here from...
	* libparted/fs/amiga/Makefile.am: ...here.
	* libparted/fs/ext2/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* libparted/fs/fat/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* libparted/fs/hfs/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* libparted/fs/jfs/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* libparted/fs/linux_swap/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* libparted/fs/nilfs2/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* libparted/fs/ntfs/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* libparted/fs/reiserfs/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* libparted/fs/ufs/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* libparted/fs/xfs/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* libparted/fs/*/Makefile.am: Remove files.
	* libparted/fs/amiga/a-interface.c: Now that the .o files are all
	in the same place, rename from interface.c, to avoid collision with
	name of .o file from ext2/interface.c.

	build: correct my typo in preceding commit
	* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR): Correct preceding commit.
	Keshav's patch was correct, but when I attempted to do the same
	thing manually I wrote .h.in rather than .in.h.

2012-01-10  Keshav P R  <the.ridikulus.rat@gmail.com>

	build: update AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR for non-srcdir-from-clone builds
	* configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR): List parted.h.in, rather than
	the now-generated parted.h, for those who run configure not from
	a distribution tarball, but from a non-srcdir build using a pristine
	clone.

2012-01-09  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	maint: rename public .h files to .in.h
	Generate .h files from .in.h files, so that we can continue
	to use _GL_ATTRIBUTE_PURE and _GL_ATTRIBUTE_CONST in the primary
	sources, without including them in publicly-installed files.
	Each generated (and later installed) header file gets expansions
	of those macros.
	* include/parted/Makefile.am: New rules.
	* .gitignore: Ignore the generated files.
	* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Reorder so we build in include/ before
	libparted, i.e., so that we generate the .h files we'll need.

	parted.h: use _GL_ATTRIBUTE_CONST and _GL_ATTRIBUTE_PURE in VC'd files
	However, we will replace those strings with their expansions when
	installing them.
	* include/parted/parted.h: Revert part of commit v3.0-83-gd51bfc0.

	tests: root-only test would fail to remove its loop device
	* tests/t8001-loop-blkpg.sh: Ironically, when skipping this test,
	there was a race condition where in more than 7 out of 10 trials,
	this test's "losetup -d $dev" command would fail with "device in use".
	Hence, with enough testing, I would eventually use up all loop devices
	and start getting new test failures due to losetup *creation* failure.

	build: fix "make distcheck" failure
	Ever since "make distcheck" began using sudo (i.e., running "make check"
	as root, and then running it as non-root), the build-after-root would
	often fail due to some derived files being owned by root.
	This change adds a "chown -R $USER ." to restore order.
	* Makefile.am (root-check): Run "chown -R $USER ." after sudo run.
	(root_check): Rename variable from root-check, to avoid a warning
	from automake about non-POSIX variable.

	build: appease gcc's -Werror=suggest-attribute=pure
	* parted/strlist.c (wchar_strcasecmp): Add pure attribute; make static.
	(wchar_strncasecmp): Likewise.
	(wchar_strdup): Likewise.

2012-01-09  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	build: update to latest from gnulib
	* bootstrap: Update.
	* tests/init.sh: Likewise.
	* gnulib: Update submodule to latest.

	maint: remove two generated files in doc/
	* doc/fdl.texi: Remove file from version control.  It is generated.
	* doc/gendocs_template: Likewise.
	* doc/parted.texi: Add @node ... before inclusion of fdl.texi,
	since fdl.texi dropped that part.
	* doc/parted-pt_BR.texi: Likewise.
	* doc/.gitignore: Update.

	build: accommodate newer bootstrap from gnulib
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_tool_option_extras): Add both --symlink
	and --makefile-name=gnulib.mk.  Remove stray use of $bt.
	* lib/Makefile.am: Initialize all of the following so that
	generated code in gnulib.mk may use += to append to those variables:
	AM_CFLAGS, AM_CPPFLAGS, BUILT_SOURCES, CLEANFILES, EXTRA_DIST,
	MAINTAINERCLEANFILES, MOSTLYCLEANDIRS, MOSTLYCLEANFILES, SUFFIXES,
	noinst_LTLIBRARIES.

2012-01-09  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	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
	that only the backup header is corrupt, and will offer to correct it.
	Before, it would report that both headers were corrupt.
	* tests/t0203-gpt-shortened-device-primary-valid.sh: New file.
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

	gpt: eliminate four PED_ASSERT uses
	* libparted/labels/gpt.c (_parse_header): Convert a few PED_ASSERT

	tests: fix misleading mkpart usage
	Using "primary" is fine (and common) as a partition *type* for dos
	partition tables, but with a partition table of type GPT, it is
	downright misleading to specify the partition *name* as "primary".
	* tests/t0220-gpt-msftres.sh: Use "p-name" as partition name,
	rather than misleading "primary".

	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.
	* libparted/arch/linux.c (_loop_get_partition_range): Remove function
	and all uses.

	doc: add NEWS entry for "Add partition separator only when required"

2011-12-12  Phillip Susi  <psusi@cfl.rr.com>

	Add partition separator only when required
	Device mapper type should not automatically
	mean add 'p' before the partition number.  Fall back to
	adding it only if the previous character is a digit.
	This complies with kpartx behavior and linux behavior
	"since the dawn of time".

	can the blockdevice hold and uses this number in its algorithm

	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.

	Since linux-2.6.26, the kernel allows partitions on loopback devices.
	Implement support for this feature in parted.
	* libparted/arch/linux.c (_sysfs_int_entry_from_dev): New function.
	(_loop_get_partition_range): New function.
	(_device_get_partition_range): Add special handling for loop devices.
	* NEWS: Mention this change.

	libparted: differentiate between plain files and loop devices
	Stop using PED_DEVICE_FILE for loopback devices;
	loopback are significantly different from plain files.
	* include/parted/device.h (PedDeviceType): Add PED_DEVICE_LOOP.
	* libparted/arch/linux.c (_device_probe_type): Detect loopback device.
	* parted/parted.c (do_print): Add "loopback" to list of transports.

	dvh: factor out read_sector and use ptt_read_sector
	* libparted/labels/dvh.c (read_sector): Factor out this function.
	(dvh_probe): Use ptt_read_sector instead of read_sector.
	(dvh_read): Likewise.

	build: update gnulib to latest; adapt use of _GL_ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT
	* libparted/arch/linux.c (_GL_ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT): Define here,
	now that it's no longer defined by gnulib.

	build: avoid new syntax-check failure
	* cfg.mk: Exempt libparted/arch/beos.c from the PATH_MAX check.
	I suspect that this is ok, because parted compiles only on systems
	that define PATH_MAX to something reasonable.

	doc: mention the origin of the other two bugs
	* NEWS: Mention that the other two bugs were introduced long ago.

	tests: test for the nilfs2 bug
	* tests/t4300-nilfs2-tiny.sh: New test.
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

	libparted: fix a bug in the nilfs2 probe function
	* libparted/fs/nilfs2/nilfs2.c (nilfs2_probe): Reject this partition
	if we get a negative sb2 offset.  Passing a negative offset to
	ped_geometry_read_alloc would evoke a failed assertion.
	Bug introduced by 2010-07-09 commit d463e7de.
	* NEWS: (Bug fixes): Mention it.

	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.
	* tests/t0203-gpt-tiny-device-abort.sh: Test for this.
	* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
	* NEWS: (Bug fixes): Mention it.

	libparted: avoid invalid diagnostic in interactive mode
	* libparted/arch/linux.c (linux_read): In interactive mode,
	a truncated device with a preexisting GPT could evoke this:
	  Error: end of file while reading Success
	it should have been like this:
	  Error: end of file while reading /full/name/of/device
	Use %0.0s to discard the strerror argument.

	libparted: don't allow values less than 1 (#665496)
	When a value < 1 is used there is the possibility that the range can
	overlap sector 0. The user should use smaller units instead. 0 is a
	special case and is still allowed.

	* libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_parse_custom): Throw error if a value
	between 0 and 1 is used.

2011-06-22  Brian C. Lane  <bcl@redhat.com>

	libparted: fix snap radius so that it is using half (#665496)
	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
	specified size.

	* libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_parse_custom): divide radius by 2
	This addresses http://bugzilla.redhat.com/665496

	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.
	(_partition_is_mounted): Rewrite to use _partition_is_mounted_by_path
	instead of _by_dev.

	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.
	(gpt_corrupt_primary_table_): Likewise.

2011-04-18  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	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
	reference to memory before dev->path when its length is 4 or less.

	Since switching to init.sh, the root-only tests did not clean up.
	* libparted/tests/Makefile.am (prereq): Always create a symlink

	tests: avoid a race condition in the scsi_debug-using tests
	* 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
	binary notation like 34KiB, 3GiB and 65TiB.
	* tests/t0207-IEC-binary-notation.sh: New test.

	maint: stop using .x-sc_* files to list syntax-check exemptions
	Instead, use the new mechanism with which you merely use a

	gpt: avoid division by zero
	* libparted/labels/gpt.c (_header_is_valid): Reject as invalid if
	FirstUsableLBA < 3.
	(gpt_get_max_supported_partition_count): Ensure that we don't divide
	by zero: verify that the GPT header is valid before dividing by its
	"size of partition entry".  Under normal circumstances, the on-disk
	PE size field is reasonable because we have just written it.  However,
	there are two ways it can end up zero: we lose the race when some other
	process pokes a 4-byte 0 into just the right location between when
	we write it and when we re-read the value we're about to divide by.
	Then there's the case that I encountered: using an old USB (8MB) key,
	mklabel gpt failed due to division by zero.  The device reported no
	failure when writing the initial header, yet when reading back that
	very same sector (also successful), parted got all 0 bytes.

	parted: rework 'parted print' so that it works with empty disk
	'parted $dev print' on a device without a partition table used to fail
	with an 'unrecognised disk label' error, without printing the following:
	disk model, transport, size, sector size, BIOS geometry
	all of which are available, and do not dependent on the partition table.

	With this patch, parted prints all of this information (BIOS geometry
	only if 'unit cyl' is specified) and reports success even if the disk
	does not have a valid partition table.

	As a side efect, 'parted $dev print devices/all/list' now prints
	information about all the devices, even if $dev does not have a
	partition table.

	* parted/parted.c (_print_disk_info): New function.

	Remove PED_ASSERT from dos geometry checking
	The CHS geometry values are calculated based on the existing partition
	information. The values can't always be calculated, and the partition
	may be corrupt so instead of throwing an assertion just return 0 and
	carry on.

	I left the logic for the PED_ASSERT checks the same so that it is clear
	that the logic has not changed, it just returns 0 now.

	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

	cleanup: use verify, not PED_ASSERT to check struct sizes
	* libparted/labels/gpt.c: Use compile-time "verify" rather than
	run-time PED_ASSERT to ensure struct sizes are as expected.

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: 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.
	* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Use gnulib's usleep module.

	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.
	* libparted/tests/t3000-symlink.sh: New file.

	libparted: don't canonicalize /dev/mapper paths
	Besides fixing the issue displayed by libparted/tests/symlink.c,
	this has the added advantage that the output of parted p on one of these
	devices now says:
	"Disk /dev/mapper/BigVol2-lv_iscsi_disk2: 34.4GB"

	Which is a lot more user friendly then the output before this patch:
	"Disk /dev/dm-6: 34.4GB"

	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.

	the following link:

	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.

	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

	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.

	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

	"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.

	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

	tests: weaken t0202-gpt-pmbr to assume a preexisting GPT table
	* tests/t0202-gpt-pmbr.sh: Lay down an initial GPT table before
	writing to the MBR, so this test passes with the new semantics.

	tests: rewrite t0202 to use new framework

	maint: more const-correctness fixes

2009-11-12  Hans de Goede  <hdegoede@redhat.com>

	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

	* libparted/arch/linux.c: include fdasd.h.
	(init_dasd): Do BIODASDINFO ioctl, and store the dasd devno in
	arch_specific.
	(init_dasd): Remove dead (never reached) code.

	build: avoid s390-specific compilation failiure
	* libparted/labels/vtoc.c (vtoc_volume_label_init): Don't use

	linux: use devicemapper task name instead of device node name
	Use devicemapper task name instead of device node name as basename for
	devicemapper disk partitions.

	This is needed for upcoming lvm changes where the /dev/mapper/foobar
	files are becoming symlinks, so we will end up opening /dev/dm-#,
	and naming our partitions dm-#p1, dm-#p2, instead of foobarp1,
	foobarp2, etc.

2009-11-06  Hans de Goede  <hdegoede@redhat.com>

	linux: use major / minor to specify device mapper device in dm_task
	Use major / minor to specify device mapper device instead of
	dm_task_set_name. This is needed for upcoming lvm changes where the
	/dev/mapper/foobar files are becoming symlinks, so we will end up
	opening /dev/dm-#, and dm-# is not a valid dm_task name.

	This is only needed in this one place, as in the other places where we
	use dm_task_set_name, the name we use was returned by libdevicemapper
	itself in an earlier function call.

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
	on s390 and s390x.

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

	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.

	tests: do not invoke scsi_debug_setup_ in a subshell
	* tests/t9010-big-sector.sh: Do not invoke scsi_debug_setup_ in

	* tests/t9020-alignment.sh: Likewise.

	tests: tweak temporary dirname prefix

	tests: adapt/update lvm-related infrasture, too

	tests: perform scsi_debug cleanup automatically...
	...rather than requiring each test to do it.
	* tests/t-lib.sh ($cleanup_eval): New variable.  Initialize.
	(remove_tmp_): Use it.
	* tests/t-local.sh: Record whether modprobe succeeded.

	so that it is always run.
	(scsi_debug_cleanup_): Run rmmod only if the modprobe succeeded.
	* tests/t9010-big-sector.sh (cleanup_): Remove.

	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.

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

	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.

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.

2009-10-19  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	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,

	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

	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

	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.

	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.

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

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.

2009-07-24  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	(_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.

	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:
	    http://parted.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/ticket/207

	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.

	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.

	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

	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

	* 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

	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.

2009-02-17  Petr Uzel  <petr.uzel@suse.cz>

	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.

	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.

	Corrected memory leak when displaying partition flags.
	Deallocated memory allocated by partition_print_flags()

2008-04-27  Matt Davis  <mattdavis9@gmail.com>

	Corrected a small memory leak when displaying partition information
	Deallocated a very small memory allocation that occurs in a for loop.
	This occurred during output of partition numbers.

2008-04-27  Otavio Salvador  <otavio@ossystems.com.br>

	do not loop in case message exception has no message
	The exception handler was looping when the exception had no message.

2008-04-24  Otavio Salvador  <otavio@ossystems.com.br>

	The exception handler wasn't freeing the memory when the allocated

	* parted/ui.c (_readline): Check strlen first.

	dvh.c (dvh_partition_set_name): Include partition name in diagnostic.

	Enforce inherent limitations of dos and dvh partition table formats.
	* libparted/disk.c (_check_partition): Enforce the 32-bit limitation
	on a partition's starting sector number and length (in sectors).
	With the usual 512-byte sector size, this limits the maximum
	partition size to just under 2TB.
	(_partition_max_start, _partition_max_len): New functions.

	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".

	* parted/parted.c (do_mkpart):

2008-01-14  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	Avoid new error detected by very latest gcc.
	* libparted/fs/fat/traverse.c (fat_dir_entry_get_name): Don't reference
	->extension[3] via a pointer into the prior ->name[8] struct member.
	gcc detected the reference beyond end of name[8].
	Declare first parameter to be "const".
	* libparted/fs/fat/traverse.c: Update prototype.

	#ifdef function definitions to match uses, to avoid compiler warnings.
	* parted/ui.c (mask_signal, s_sigint_handler, s_sigsegv_handler)
	(s_sigfpe_handler):

	Change two "extern inline" functions to "static inline".
	* include/parted/natmath.h (ped_div_round_up): This makes
	it compilable with bleeding-edge gcc.
	(ped_div_round_to_nearest): Likewise.
	* libparted/cs/natmath.c (ped_div_round_up, ped_div_round_to_nearest):

2007-12-18  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	Make inter-release --version output more useful.
	Now, each unofficial build has a version "number" like 1.8.8.1.19-58dd,
	which indicates that it is built using the 19th change set
	(in _some_ repository) following the "v1.8.8.1" tag, and that 58dd
	is a prefix of the commit SHA1.
	* configure.ac: Run it to set the version.
	(PED_MAJOR_VERSION): Derive from $PACKAGE_VERSION.
	(PED_MINOR_VERSION): Likewise.
	(PED_MICRO_VERSION): Likewise.
	Remove the test that would ensure $PACKAGE_VERSION != $PED_VERSION,
	now that the latter is derived from the former.
	* Makefile.am (dist-hook): Arrange so that .version appears only
	in distribution tarballs, never in a checked-out repository.
	* .gitignore: Add .version here, too.  Just in case.
	* lib/.gitignore: Remove now-generated (by bootstrap) file.
	* build-aux/.gitignore: Likewise.

	Ensure that $(VERSION) is up to date for dist-related targets.
	* GNUmakefile: Arrange to rerun autoconf, if the version reported by
	git-version-gen doesn't match $(VERSION), but only for dist targets.

2007-12-18  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	doc/pt_BR/partprobe.8.pt_BR.po: Remove trailing space in generated file.

	Distribute new file: architecture.h.
	libparted/Makefile.am (libparted_la_SOURCES): Add architecture.h.

	libparted/architecture.c: Include <config.h>.

2007-12-17  David Cantrell  <dcantrell@redhat.com>

	Fix up the ChangeLog generation a bit.
	We can just take the output of git-log.

2007-12-17  Jim Meyering  <meyering@redhat.com>

	Perform ChangeLog-creation here, rather than in bootstrap,
	so that the next merge will be less likely to clobber this parted-specific bit.

	Mention that we should be able to build with -fno-common.

	* bootstrap: Update from Coreutils, adapting to changes in gnulib.
	Among them: now gnulib uses git for version control.

	* libparted/tests/disk.c (START_TEST): Remove decl of unused local.

2007-11-07  David Cantrell  <dcantrell@redhat.com>

	Add flags for BSD disklabels (needed for Linux on Alpha)
	Patch from Sergey Tikhonov from the AlphaCore project.

2007-11-06  David Cantrell  <dcantrell@redhat.com>

	Add KNOWN ISSUES section
	Add a KNOWN ISSUES section explaining that ext3 resizing does not work
	and that you should use resize2fs.

	Always define PED_DEVICE_DM
	Regardless of compile time options, always define PED_DEVICE_DM.

	Add 'xvd' to the transports array in do_print
	For the parted print command, add 'xvd' to the transports array so there is

2007-08-09  David Cantrell  <dcantrel@mortise.boston.redhat.com>

	History with undo and redo capabilities.
	Author: Matt Davis <mattdavis@gmail.com>

	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.

2007-07-10  Flavio Leitner  <flavio.leitner@gmail.com>

	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.

2007-06-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	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.

2007-06-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	Avoid unnecessary writes in test scripts.

	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.

2007-06-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	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".

2007-06-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	"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)
	==20087==    at 0x4429EE: bsd_write (bsd.c:341)

	of the "o2" temporary file into the test where it's used.

	Some of this duplication should be factored out, eventually...

2007-05-26  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	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  <jim@meyering.net>

	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.

2007-05-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	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.

2007-05-25  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	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  <jim@meyering.net>

	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  <jim@meyering.net>

	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  <jim@meyering.net>

	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.

2007-05-18  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	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.

2007-05-17  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

2007-05-14  Flavio Leitner  <flavio.leitner@gmail.com>

	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.

2007-05-11  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	Revert "Remove unused label."
	This reverts commit bfd9a6d8b6322d870650b0e92bd936035ab28e76.

	Patch from Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net> to linux_write() to support logical

	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.

2007-05-02  David Cantrell  <dcantrell@redhat.com>

	Reverted my patch to configure.ac to remove -Wl,--as-needed from LDFLAGS when checking for libreadline.

2007-05-02  David Cantrell  <dcantrell@redhat.com>

	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.

2007-05-02  David Cantrell  <dcantrell@redhat.com>

Support a new, undocumented option: ---pretend-input-tty. It is intended solely for testing.  The leading '---' ensures that it will never conflict with a "regular" long option. (do_mkpartfs): Prompt only when not in script mode. Call ped_exception_leave_all() to decrement global counter. Without this, the use of parted in tests/part-01 would still fail, but would not issue the diagnostic explaining why. * parted/ui.h (pretend_input_tty): Declare new global. * parted/ui.c (exception_handler): Let the new "pretend_input_tty" option override "!isatty (0)". (init_ui): Don't set opt_script_mode. * tests/lang-default, tests/priv-check: New files.

	Preserve starting sector for primary NTFS 3.1 partitions (Windows Vista) when modifying the DOS disk label.  NTFS 3.1 partitions do not start on the 2nd head of the 1st cylinder at the beginning of the drive.

	Patched parted.8 man page to show partition names apply to GPT disk labels
	as well as Mac and PC98 disk labels.

2007-03-06  Debarshi Ray  <rishi@gnu.org>

	Replaced [f]printf with fput[c|s] in libparted/fs/ext2/ext2_block_relocator.c.

	Re-arranging .gitignore in alphabetical order.

	Defined a dummy '_dump_history' function in parted/ui.c when Readline is absent. Thanks to Jim Meyering for the suggestion.

	Added libparted/tests/label to .gitignore.

	Fixed parted/ui.c to incorporate signal handlers for systems lacking 'sigaction', 'SA_SIGINFO', and other constants in signal.h.

2007-03-05  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	Undo part of the dos.c constification. * libparted/disk.c: The sole parameter of ped_disk_type_register and ped_disk_type_unregister must *not* be const. * libparted/labels/dos.c (msdos_disk_type): Likewise for the corresponding static struct in dos.c, since those functions modify the struct.  This didn't show up at compile time due to casts. * include/parted/disk.h: Update prototypes, too.

	Hide two unnecessarily-"extern" functions. * libparted/labels/mac.c (mac_alloc): Declare static. * libparted/labels/dos.c (raw_part_parse): Declare static.

	* libparted/labels/dos.c: Complete constification of this file. * libparted/disk.c (ped_disk_type_register): Make the sole parameter "const", so that caller's argument may be "const". (ped_disk_type_unregister): Likewise.

	* po/POTFILES.in: Add partprobe/partprobe.c, now that it contains translatable strings.

	Make partprobe accept --help and --version options. Add long options: --no-update (same as existing -d), and --summary (same as existing -s). * partprobe/partprobe.c Include configmake.h, getopt.h, and NLS-related things. (main): Rewrite option handling. Along the way, fix a bug whereby "partprobe DEV1 DEV2 ... DEVN" would exit successfully whenever process_dev (DEVN) returns nonzero, even when that function fails for each of the preceding devices.

	Make clearfat accept --help and --version options. * debug/clearfat/clearfat.c (AUTHORS, PROGRAM_NAME): Define. Include gettext-related things. Include closeout.h. (usage): New function. (main): Set up for translations, use close_stdout. * bootstrap.conf: Add long-options, for clearfat. * debug/clearfat/Makefile.am: Use gnulib.

	* include/parted/disk.h (struct _PedDiskOps) [write]: Change parameter type to be "const".

	Begin making libparted/labels/*.c const-correct. For an introduction, see http://mail-archive.com/parted-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org/msg00930.html In particular, I've used a const-adding case in mac.c to work around the current, inconsistent semantics of mac_write.

	Avoid a libtool warning: libtool: link: warning: `-release' is ignored for convenience libraries * libparted/labels/Makefile.am (liblabels_la_LDFLAGS): Don't define.

	Make "make distcheck" work better. * Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Skip sc_system_h_headers, too. * Makefile.maint (my-distcheck): Don't depend on $(release_archive_dir).

2007-03-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	Avoid recursive "LIBS = ... $(LIBS)" assignments. * libparted/labels/Makefile.am (liblabels_la_LIBADD): Add $(INTLLIBS) here rather than via a recursive LIBS = ... $(LIBS) assignment. * libparted/fs/Makefile.am (libfs_la_LIBADD): Likewise.

2007-03-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	Use $(VAR), rather than obsolescent @VAR@ automake notation.
	Enable the makefile-check rule.
	* Makefile.cfg: Remove makefile-check from the list of rules to skip.
	* Makefile.am: change e.g., @VERSION@ to $(VERSION).
	* debug/clearfat/Makefile.am: Likewise.

	* libparted/tests/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* parted/Makefile.am: Likewise.
	* partprobe/Makefile.am: Likewise.

	The above conversion caused a problem:
	* libparted/Makefile.am: Remove this recursive definition:
	LIBS = @INTLLIBS@ @LIBS@.  Once converted to LIBS = ...$(LIBS),
	GNU make would (rightly) fail, objecting to the recursive definition.
	(libparted_la_LIBADD): Instead, add $(INTLLIBS) here.

2007-03-02  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	Enable the po-check rule.
	* Makefile.cfg (local-checks-to-skip): Remove po-check.
	* po/POTFILES.in: Add a bunch of names of files that contain
	translatable strings.  Remove some which contain none.

	Add infrastructure for more rigorous "make distcheck" rules.

	* .prev-version: New file.
	* Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Remove names of files now in build-aux/.

	tests here.
	* build-aux/vc-list-files: New file.  List version-controlled files.
	* .gitignore: Remove build-aux, since now it contains a
	version-controlled file.

2007-03-01  Debarshi Ray  <rishi@gnu.org>

	Fixing indentation in parted/ui.c. Replaced TABs with spaces to ensure uniformity in all editors.

2007-02-28  Debarshi Ray  <rishi@gnu.org>

	Fixing indentation in parted/ui.c.

2007-02-27  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	Create 'm4' directory when generating the building system

2007-02-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	Work with automake-1.10.
	I've just tried building parted from scratch (running ./autogen.sh
	after git-clone) and hit a couple of snags:

	Without aclocal's -I m4, ./autogen.sh produced this:

	  configure.ac:192: warning: macro `AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION' not found in library
	  configure.ac:193: warning: macro `AM_GNU_GETTEXT' not found in library
	  configure.ac:192: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION
	        If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
	        See the Autoconf documentation.

	With automake-1.10, I got this:

	    parted/Makefile.am:5: compiling `command.c' with per-target flags requires `AM_PROG_CC_C_O' in `configure.ac'

	Here's a patch that fixes those and also removes some trailing blanks.

2007-02-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	Compile warning-free with "gcc -Wall -Wshadow".
	Hello,

	I find that keeping code warning-free (wrt gcc -Wall -Wshadow)
	makes it easier to avoid certain classes of bugs.

	Compiling with gcc -Wall -Wshadow evoked a few warnings
	on a Debian/unstable system.  Here are patches to fix those:

	* libparted/exception.c (default_handler): Rename parameter "ex"
	to "e", to avoid shadowing file-scoped global.
	* libparted/fs/linux_swap/linux_swap.c (_generic_swap_probe): Add a
	"can't happen" (with current callers) "default: goto error" clause
	in a switch to avoid a may-be-used-uninitialized warning.
	(_generic_swap_clobber): Likewise.
	* libparted/fs/hfs/reloc_plus.c (hfsplus_pack_free_space_from_block):
	Rename local variable "div" to "divisor", to avoid shadowing
	the function in <stdlib.h>.
	* libparted/fs/hfs/reloc.c (hfs_pack_free_space_from_block): Likewise.
	* libparted/fs/hfs/cache.c (hfsc_cache_add_extent): Rename parameter
	"index" to "ref_index" to avoid shadowing the <string.h> function.
	* libparted/labels/sun.c (sun_partition_enumerate): Rename local
	variable "i" to "j", to avoid shadowing another local.

2007-02-13  Jim Meyering  <jim@meyering.net>

	configure.ac: Add LOCALEDIR definition to CFLAGS only once.
	I noticed that there were two identical lines in configure.ac,
	adding the same LOCALEDIR definition to CFLAGS.
	This change removes the latter.

	* configure.ac: Add LOCALEDIR definition to CFLAGS only once.

2007-02-12  Riccardo Setti  <giskard@piton.asimov.bot>

	Revert "Add check unittest support and a initial test for a resizing bug."
	This code wasn't ready for commit yet.

	This reverts commit ba43cb6ff7bb1d945062e25b94efecb1b84c0c33.

2006-12-05  Otavio Salvador  <otavio@debian.org>

	parted/parted.c: Remove useless line break

2006-12-05  Otavio Salvador  <otavio@ossystems.com.br>

	Add check unittest support and a initial test for a resizing bug.

2006-12-04  David Cantrell  <dcantrel@mortise.boston.redhat.com>

	Fix the upload script to correctly reference the sig files.

	Remove ChangeLog, doc/mdate-sh, and doc/texinfo.tex since they are unmanaged files and get generated automatically at release time.

	Generate ChangeLog before running the autogen tools because we need a file called 'ChangeLog' to exist when running those tools.

	Pass git changelog through 'fold -s' to wrap long lines.

	Added the --enable-selinux switch to the configure script.  If set, it adds -lselinux and -lsepol to the list of libraries to link libparted with.  Bumped the version number to 1.9.9 since this is the edge branch.

	Rename all old ChangeLog files to ChangeLog.0.  Added code to the tarball_upload.sh script to generate a toplevel ChangeLog from the git changelog.

2006-11-22  Otavio Salvador  <otavio@debian.org>

	Avoid warning about user permissions when using --version

	parted/parted.c: Remove redeclaration of current_dev fixing a compilation error

	Readd the 'return 0;' to please GCC
	The commit d000de8f062ce070d5310f164ebf4f5ed26fcad0 included a
	compilation warning that makes sense when Parted is built without
	debugging. To solve the warning and ensure that when running without
	debugging we return a sinsible value I've reverted
	d000de8f062ce070d5310f164ebf4f5ed26fcad0 change and added a nice
	comment to avoid misunderstandings again.

2006-11-22  Anant  <anant@theghost.(none)>

	Fix loop in print_all, thanks to Debarshi Ray for the patch.

2006-11-21  Otavio Salvador  <otavio@debian.org>

	Remove useless 'return 0;' call
	Since PED_ASSERT will always be run, the return 0 is useless, hence
	removed.

	Remove useless semicolon from PED_ASSERT calls

2006-11-20  David Cantrell  <dcantrel@mortise.boston.redhat.com>

	Generate SHA-1 digests of the archive files and upload those along with the actual archive files.

2006-11-20  Otavio Salvador  <otavio@debian.org>

	Rework backtrace support
	While doing a deeply check about the backtrace support I found that
	-rdynamic is useless on CFLAGS and my previous change was wrong since
	it wasn't avoiding -rdynamic on LFLAGS if the running system missed
	the execinfo.h support. That would probably cause a build error on
	some systems.
