This patch only adds the function. The function is a NOP.
See the API documentation for a rationale.
Part of: Bug 591388 - number of GCancellables available is too limited
For details, see bug 587482. The new api:
- Provide new _with_operation() variants of all unmount and eject methods
- Add GMountOperation::show-processes signal
- this can be used to show processes blocking an unmount operation
- Deprecate all unmount and eject methods
- Add g_drive_can_start_degraded() method
- this is to avoid auto-starting degraded drives
- Make g_drive_stop() resp. g_file_stop_mountable() take a GMountOperation
- these ops were recently added and not yet public API so it's fine
to change how they work
- Provide a way to poll mountable files, e.g. g_file_poll_mountable()
- Add some missing file attributes for mountable files
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_UNIX_DEVICE_FILE
- needed for the GDU Nautilus extensions to format a volume
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_CAN_START_DEGRADED:
- mimics g_drive_can_start_degraded()
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_CAN_POLL:
- mimics g_drive_can_poll_for_media()
- G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_MOUNTABLE_IS_MEDIA_CHECK_AUTOMATIC
- mimics g_drive_is_media_check_automatic()
Add API for starting/stopping drives. This new API will enable
GVolumeMonitor and GVfs implementations to add support for the
following features
1. Powering down external hard disk enclosures / drives
2. Starting/stopping multi-disk devices (such as RAID/btrfs/ZFS)
3. Connecting/disconnecting iSCSI devices
4. Reacting to the user pressing e.g. the "remove drive" button on
a IBM/Lenovo Ultrabay: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ultrabay
See the bug for the corresponding GVfs and Nautilus changes.
The whole protocol name thing is pretty weird. The getprotobyname functions
seem to only specify one mapping for name <-> ids, so all families/types
must use the same values. Plus the values used for the protocols are
standardized by IANA, so are always the same.
So, we drop using names for protocols, intead introducing an enum with
a few commonly availible and used protocols.
