* libfdisk: (script) support shortcuts in the type= fieldKarel Zak2019-08-081-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The unnamed-field format supports partition type shortcuts: ",1MiB,L' but for named-field format it requires full type: (mbr) "size=1MiB,type=83" (gpt) "size=1MiB,type=0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4" This patch implements type shortcuts also for named-field format: "size=1MiB,type=L" to make it more user-friendly and unified.

* libfdisk: accept grain script headerKarel Zak2018-09-121-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | The "grain" variable is used to calculate partitions alignment. The default is 1MiB (or minimal I/O size). The libfdisk provides API to overwrite this default, but this feature has been nowhere accessible for end-user. This patch support for "grain: <size>" in libfdisk scripts.

* sfdisk: support empty label use-caseKarel Zak2016-11-301-1/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By default sfdisk creates partition table when a first partition is specified, otherwise the device is not modified. This force users to create at least one partition. This commit allows to create empty label without partitions if "label: <name>" header line is specified by script. The commit also modifies "New situation:" output to list label name and label identifier. Addresses: https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/374 Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>

* sfdisk: add --wipe-partitions=auto|never|defaultKarel Zak2016-05-041-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The option allows to remove filesystes/RAIDs from newly created partitions before the partition table is updated (and partition device created). The default is "auto" in this case wipe is enabled in interactive mode only and user's confirmation (yes/no dialog) is required. Note that keep filesystem signature on partition is pretty valid use-case, so we don't erase anything by default. Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>

* sfdisk: add --wipeKarel Zak2016-02-181-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes sfdisk behavior and it wipes foreign signatures from the device to avoid collisions. The wipe functionality is automatically enabled in the interactive mode only (user is always warned about it), otherwise it's possible to control all by --wipe <auto|never|always>. The program does not change behavior when executed in scripts (echo <something> | sfdisk), the option "--wipe=always" is required to enable in this case. Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | The -A has been originally used for --activate, since v2.26 it's used for --append. This is stupid mistake. This patch reverts the change to: -A, --activate -a, --append Note that --append is a new command line option in v2.26.

* libfdisk: (gpt) cleanup header size usageKarel Zak2015-01-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kay reported that Windows 8.1 installed does not recognize GPT created by libfdisk, but parted works as expected. It seems (according to the header hexdump) that the problem is HeaderSize GPT field where libfdisk uses 512 (header + reserved area), but parted uses 92. The both is pretty valid according to the current EFI standard, but 92 is probably more backwardly compatible. I also found places in code where libfdisk gpt driver is inconsistent and uses sometimes all sector and simetimes sizeof(gpt_header) only. The right solution is to read all sector (into zeroized memory) and later write again all sector to the device. Reported-by: Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
