* Remove redundant code when initialising a partition table.Martin Whitaker2017-03-141-6/+0
| | | | | | Now we force the kernel to reread the partition table when we initialise it, there's no need to also inform it that we've deleted all the existing partitions.
* Don't tell the kernel about partition table changes when it rescans them ↵Martin Whitaker2017-02-251-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | automatically (mga#20074). When no partitions on a DOS-partitioned disk are mounted, the kernel automatically rescans the partition table when it is written to disk. We shouldn't then try to update the kernel's view of the partition table, as the list of deltas we have recorded is relative to the previous state of the partition table, not the newly rescanned state. The behaviour for other partition table types is unchanged. v2 (tvignaud): just make base class assume the kernel doesn't reread, only mbr subclass overrides need_to_tell_kernel() in order to be smarter
* Ensure the kernel doesn't rescan a partially written partition table ↵Martin Whitaker2017-02-251-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (mga#20074). When no partitions on a DOS-partitioned disk are mounted, the kernel automatically rescans the partition table when the file handle to the raw device is released. Currently the code opens and closes the raw device when writing the primary partition table and when writing each extended partition table segment. As the extended partition table segments form a linked list, this allows the kernel to get in and rescan the table when the list is not in a coherent state. This patch changes the code to open the raw device before writing the primary partition table and to close it only after writing the last extended partition table segment. The behaviour for other partition table types is unchanged. v2 (tvignaud): simplify by moving copies of noop funcs into the base class

* fix failing to read partition table (mga#13592, mga#15272)Thierry Vignaud2015-03-271-1/+2
| | | | | | this is making it more readable regarding: "I cannot read the partition table of device XXX, it is too corrupted" (mga#13592, mga#15272, mga#15472)
* kill $Id:$ tagsThierry Vignaud2014-06-071-1/+1
| | | | they're obsolete since switching from CVS/SVN to git...
* drop (broken) support for Alpha, PPC, Sparc & most of IA64Thierry.Vignaud2014-05-261-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Including Xsun, silo & yaboot support Rationale: it's unused/unmaintained for years and those arches are beyond any hope of being usefull any day... They just got in the way... Part of IA64 support is still kept (eg: support for GPT, EFI, right xorg driver at install, ...) as it might be usefull to extend to other arches Next to consider: Xbox?
