* Fix auto-allocation of BIOS boot partitions (mga#20161, mga#19888).Martin Whitaker2017-02-252-3/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a specific subroutine, fsedit::auto_allocate_boot_bios_parts that detects if a BIOS boot partition is needed and allocates it if so. This allows us to relax the rules in fs::any::is_boot_bios_part_needed to allow the user to manually allocate the BIOS boot partition on a different device if they so wish. In the normal case that installation is confined to a single disk, this will allocate a single BIOS boot partition on that disk. In the rare case that installation is spread over multiple disks, it will allocate a BIOS boot partition on every disk. Given that the BIOS boot partitions are very small and that this is not a normal use case (see mga#16055), this seems an acceptable quirk - and does allow the user to then choose any disk when installing the boot loader.
* Rename partition_table::_default_type to partition_table::default_type.Martin Whitaker2017-02-251-3/+3
| | | | The following patches want to use it outside the partition_table module.
* Fix erratic behaviour when telling kernel to delete partitions (mga#20074).Martin Whitaker2017-02-251-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | When telling the kernel about changes to a DOS partition table, if a partition was deleted on a disk that also contained an Empty partition, the kernel also removed the Empty partition from its cached partition table (and renumbered the other partitions). Experimentation showed that leaving the udev exec queue active whilst we were telling the kernel about the changes fixed this problem, although I don't have an explanation for why it does.
* Set fs_type to '' for BIOS boot and Empty partitions.Martin Whitaker2017-02-251-0/+1
| | | | | This prevents misreporting of the partition type in diskdrake if they located on top of an old partition that contained a valid file system.
* Don't suggest mountpoint for ESP when doing a legacy boot install (mga#20164).Martin Whitaker2017-02-251-1/+1
| | | | | | When doing a UEFI install, we add a fstab entry to mount the ESP on /boot/EFI. This is neither required nor desirable when doing a legacy boot install, even if an ESP is present on the disk.
* Don't treat Empty or BIOS_GRUB partitions as free space (mga#20074).Martin Whitaker2017-02-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | The subroutine isEmpty() is used to identify free space on the disk (not DOS "Empty" partitions). Because we use a string to flag Empty and BIOS_GRUB partitions, rather than a numeric value, the numeric equality operator gives false positives.
* Preserve DOS "Empty" partitions instead of treating them as free space ↵Martin Whitaker2017-02-252-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | (mga#20074). To minimise the changes this close to mga6 release (and until we fix the bug in partition auto-allocation that mistakenly creates BIOS boot partitions non-GPT disks), reuse the BIOS_GRUB flag for flagging Empty partitions, as the real partition ID (0x00) is used to flag free space.
* Document new partition table object API used when writing partition tables.Martin Whitaker2017-02-251-0/+27
| | | | v2 (tvignaud): enhance doc
* Don't tell the kernel about partition table changes when it rescans them ↵Martin Whitaker2017-02-253-1/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Whitaker2017-02-257-11/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (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

* Revert "- Add 60-block.rules in the installer (mga#20074)"Thierry Vignaud2017-02-251-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit bdac0595323a6417fb7365038c9777cde0060f58. Many testers are seeing the "I cannot read the partition table of device sda, it's too corrupted for me:(" message when the installer first examines the disks. It's likely that when the installer examines the partition table on the disk, that triggers the udev rule and causes the kernel to rescan the partition table. Unfortunately this coincides with the installer reading /proc/partitions to verify the kernel has the same view of the partitions, which can catch /proc/partitions in a partially updated state. After patching the ISO to remove the 60-block.rules file from stage 2, no failures happen in the installer.
