Change logs for parted source package in Precise

  • parted (2.3-8ubuntu5.2) precise; urgency=low
    
      * Added linux-specific-gpt-type.patch: Cherry pick upstream patch to
        add Linux own partition type code GUID for fs partitions on GPT
        disks (LP: #1333462):
    
          Parted will set PARTITION_LINUX_DATA_GUID as the default partition type
          code on GPT disks, avoiding problems with other tools such as:
            - grub: /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/20microsoft
            - windows: asking to format an already linux-formatted partition

  • parted (2.3-8ubuntu5.1) precise-proposed; urgency=low
    
      * Fix dm-part-sync.patch to canonicalize the dm name when constructing
        the partition device path (LP: #1012946)
     -- Phillip Susi <email address hidden>   Sat, 16 Jun 2012 21:26:34 -0400
  • parted (2.3-8ubuntu5) precise; urgency=low
    
      * Backport from upstream:
        - HFS/HFS+ probe: don't let a corrupt FS evoke failed assertion
          (LP: #796891).

  • parted (2.3-8ubuntu4) precise; urgency=low
    
      * At least some Intel Macs get rather upset if we revert to a protective
        MBR, so try harder to avoid this and to do a better job of writing a
        hybrid MBR:
        - Write a type code of 0x83 for more filesystems, and 0xda for
          non-filesystem partitions.
        - Do not rely on filesystem probing to recognise EFI System Partitions.
        - Write a protective partition starting at LBA 1 if we find an EFI
          System Partition or BIOS Boot Partition in the first position, even if
          it does not really begin at LBA 1 (LP: #856826).
        - Ensure that protective partitions corresponding to an ESP or BBP
          always have starting cylinder 0, head 0, sector 1.
        - Don't revert to a protective MBR just because the first GPT partition
          wasn't recognised as anything in particular.
        - Add tests for hybrid MBR syncing.

  • parted (2.3-8ubuntu3) precise; urgency=low
    
      * Probe non-dmraid device-mapper devices again (LP: #922646).
     -- Colin Watson <email address hidden>   Fri, 27 Jan 2012 22:59:12 +0000
  • parted (2.3-8ubuntu2) precise; urgency=low
    
      * Add 16-dos-partitions.patch: Fix parted to correctly handle
        more than 16 partitions on dos partition tables.
      * Add dm-part-sync.patch: Backport fix to allow modifying partitions
        on dmraid disks while other partitions are in use.
      * Replace dmraid.patch: Reimplemented and forwarded upstream,
        allows dmraid raid10 disks to show up (LP: #311179)
      * Replace loop-partitions.patch: this patch used to make sure that
        we don't try to partition loop devices.  Now it backports a few
        upstream changes to allow partitioning loop devices since that is
        supported on Linux since 3.0.  It includes a change that also fixes
        support for > 16 partitions.
      * Add skip-floppy.patch: don't probe floppy drives. (LP: #910379)

  • parted (2.3-8ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low
    
      * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
        - gptsync.patch: On Intel Mac systems, write a synced MBR rather than a
          protective MBR.
        - Add -fno-stack-protector on sparc.
        - loop-partitions.patch: Loop devices can only have one partition, so
          don't generate device names such as "/dev/loop0p1".
        - udevadm-settle.patch: Run 'udevadm settle' either side of rereading
          the partition table if not chrooted, to avoid a variety of races.
        - dmraid.patch: Ensure that device-mapper devices for dmraid arrays do
          not have extra nodes created needlessly, as well as making sure that
          partition nodes for dmraid devices are not probed.
        - fix-head-size-assertion.patch: Fix probe_partition_for_geom() to fail
          gracefully rather than abort with PED_ASSERT().
        - dm_p_separator.patch: 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".
        - remove-dev_t-dep.patch: Remove incorrect code from arch/linux.c that
          made assumptions about the meaning of dev_t causing mounted partitions
          to not be identified on dmraid devices and extended partition numbers
          >= 16.
      * Merge Matthew Garrett's dmidecode changes (from 2006!) to find SMBIOS
        tables on EFI systems.
    
    parted (2.3-8) unstable; urgency=low
    
      [ Robert Millan ]
      * Add detection of ZFS volumes (closes: #635384).
      * Add detection of GEOM encryption devices (closes: #635393).
    
    parted (2.3-7) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Use [linux-any] in debian/control rather than [!hurd-i386 !kfreebsd-i386
        !kfreebsd-amd64].
      * Remove libparted.la from libparted0-dev.
      * Convert to multiarch.

  • parted (2.3-6ubuntu3) oneiric; urgency=low
    
      * Fix dm_task_run error checking in _is_dmraid_device (LP: #580702).
