drakx/perl-install/partition_table, branch 10.24

- partitioning wizard lirary:

2008-03-25T17:19:28+00:00

  o allow "Use free space" if there is an extended
  partition even if all primary partitions are used (#38804)
  (*old* bug!)

- fix detecting existing LVMs (#31228)

2008-01-28T17:24:04+00:00

  (regression introduced in 10.4.204 (?))

nb: great care must be taken to ensure lvm::init() is not called too soon
(maybe lvm::init should be called in fsedit to ensure this doesn't happen
again?)

- detect raid partitions based on either type 0xfd or vol_id detecting

2008-01-28T13:04:34+00:00

  linux_raid_member (#35684)

for this, introduce field {type_name}

fix previous commit

2008-01-22T11:13:16+00:00

handle missing mbr_signature in /sys/firmware/edd/int13_dev*

2008-01-22T11:10:06+00:00

fix fs::proc_partitions::use_() case: $hd must be cleaned up from existing stuff

2007-09-24T07:42:14+00:00

- diskdrake :

2007-09-19T15:34:17+00:00

  o do not allow partitions bigger than 2TB-1 on DOS MBR, nor partitions
    starting above 2TB-1

create partition_table_initialize() and partition_table_clear_and_initialize()

2007-09-19T14:57:17+00:00

which are wrappers around partition_table::initialize() but which also create
a singleton VG automatically (so that it's easier for the user)

it's better to inheritate from partition_table::readonly, that way we can do

2007-09-18T14:10:29+00:00

->isa('partition_table::lvm')

create partition_table::readonly and use it
