parted/more-reliable-informing-the-kernel.patch
Petr Uzel 5a2cd49a44 Accepting request 303792 from home:puzel:branches:Base:System
- Update to parted-3.2; Notable changes:
  - Added new partition type flag, esp, to set the type to 0xEF on
    MS-DOS.  Also aliased to boot on GPT to set the UEFI ESP GUID.
  - You can now choose to ignore errors about partitions that
    overlap, or are longer than the disk.  This allows you to use
    parted to repair the problem.
  - When attempting to manipulate a mounted partition, parted now
    issues a warning that you can choose to ignore, instead of an
    error.
  - When creating a loop label, it automatically comes with a
    partition using the whole disk.
  - parted -l no longer lists device-mapper devices other than
    dmraid whole disks.
  - Added new Linux-specific partition GUID type code
    (0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4) for Linux filesystem
    data on GPT disks.  This type code is now assigned as the
    default partition type code for new partitions holding Linux
    filesystems.
  - Added new "msftdata" flag to identify partitions holding NTFS
    or FAT filesystems on GPT disks.  This flag corresponds to a
    GPT type code of EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7
    ("Microsoft Basic Data").  Since Linux filesystem partitions
    formerly used this type code, this flag may optionally be set
    on Linux partitions to make the partition table type codes
    match former configurations in case the new Linux filesystem
    type code causes problems with some utility.  Note that this
    flag cannot be removed from NTFS or FAT partitions within
    parted except by setting a competing flag, such as "boot"
    (which sets the type code used by EFI System partitions) or
    "msftres" (which sets the "Microsoft Reserved" type code).

# bnc#657360
#
# This patch should make parted's process of informing the kernel
# about changes of partition table sligtly more reliable.
# It consists of 3 quite unrelated parts:
#
# 1. increase the max sleep time if partition is busy from 1 to 2 seconds
# 2. do not inform the kernel when only partition flags change - kernel
# does not care about the flags
