* parted: add type commandArvin Schnell2022-05-132-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | Include the partition type-id and type-uuid in the JSON output. Also add the the command 'type' to set them. Remove redundant flags from DosPartitionData and use only the system variable. Signed-off-by: Brian C. Lane <bcl@redhat.com>

* docs: Update documentation to be consistentBrian C. Lane2021-10-062-53/+148
| | | | | | | | | This fixes some missing commands in the parted.texi file used to generate the web manual and info document. It also removes documentation for the never-implemented 'print NUMBER' command which only returns 1. The parted manpage has been updated to document the available print options, disk_set, and disk_toggle commands.

* parted: Add --json cmdline switch to output JSONArvin Schnell2021-08-252-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This outputs the disk's details as a JSON object. eg. a disk image with a single partition from 1M to 100M: { "disk": { "path": "/root/disk1.img", "size": "2097152s", "model": "", "transport": "file", "logical-sector-size": 512, "physical-sector-size": 512, "label": "gpt", "max-partitions": 128, "partitions": [ { "number": 0, "start": "34s", "end": "2047s", "size": "2014s", "type": "free" },{ "number": 1, "start": "2048s", "end": "200703s", "size": "198656s", "type": "primary", "name": "root" },{ "number": 0, "start": "200704s", "end": "2097118s", "size": "1896415s", "type": "free" } ] } } Signed-off-by: Brian C.

* libparted: Add swap flag to msdos disklabelBrian C. Lane2021-08-101-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | Previously you had to set the filesystem type to one of the linux-swap options at creation time. With this change you can now toggle the partition swap type using the 'swap' partition flag in the same way that you can on gpt disklabels. Thanks to Arvin Schnell for this patch.

* libparted: Add support for bls_boot to GPT disksBrian C. Lane2019-12-201-0/+4
| | | | | | This sets the partition GUID to bc13c2ff-59e6-4262-a352-b275fd6f7172 to indicate that the partition is a Boot Loader Specification compatible /boot partition.
* libparted: Add support for MSDOS partition type bls_boot (0xea)Brian C. Lane2019-12-201-1/+1
| | | | | This type is used by the Boot Loader Specification to identify a compatible /boot boot partition.
* libparted: Add ChromeOS Kernel partition flagAlper Nebi Yasak2019-12-202-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a GPT-only partition type flag, chromeos_kernel, for use on Chrome OS machines, with GUID FE3A2A5D-4F32-41A7-B725-ACCC3285A309. The firmware/bootloader in these machines relies on special images being written to partitions of this type. Among multiple such partitions, it decides which one it will boot from based on the GUID-specific partition attributes. This patch is not intended to and does not manipulate these bits. Google refers to these partitions as "ChromeOS kernel" partitions. They also define partitions for rootfs, firmware, and a reserved one; but these are not necessary for the boot flow and are not included here.

* Added support for Windows recovery partition (WINRE) on MBRHans-Joachim Baader2019-01-312-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | Windows 10 uses a recovery partition which is sometimes marked with partition type 0x27 on MBR systems. It wasn't possible to handle such a partition with parted. Therefore the partition type PARTITION_MSFT_RECOVERY is now used properly also on MBR when the flag msftres is set. Signed-off-by: Brian C. Lane <bcl@redhat.com>

* build: Remove unused traces of dynamic loadingColin Watson2018-06-051-15/+0
| | | | | | | | | Now that file system operations have been removed from libparted, libreiserfs is no longer used. Remove references to it, along with the dynamic loading build infrastructure which was only used for libreiserfs. Signed-off-by: Colin Watson <cjwatson@ubuntu.com>
* doc: Add information about quotingBrian C. Lane2016-12-222-2/+6
| | | | | | | Some shells (bash) will strip off the " so it needs to be wrapped in '' to prevent it. eg. parted -s ./disk.img mkpart '"EFI System Partition"' 1M 500M

* libparted: Recognize btrfs filesystemBrian C. Lane2014-03-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for showing 'btrfs' in the 'file system' column. Also allows the used to enter btrfs as the fs type.

* GPT: add support for PReP GUIDDaniel Battaiola Kreling2013-11-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | PReP (PowerPC Reference Platform) boot partition is the first partition used in PowerPC platform for containing the bootable kernel or bootloader. The firmware searches for this partition and jumps to it for booting. So far no GUID was specified for this partition type and hence booting from GPT disk was not supported on this platform. A new GUID 9e1a2d38-c612-4316-aa26-8b49521e5a8b for PReP partition is proposed to be included in GPT.
