  • PartialVolume (13 Sept 24)

    Add a new search location when looking for hdparm and smartctl. The new search location is /usr/sbin/. Previously we searched /sbin/ and /usr/bin/ but /sbin is symbolically linked to /usr/sbin/ so just in case there was some issue with the symbolic link we also now search /usr/sbin/

  • PartialVolume (12 Sept 24)

    Fixes a issue where SAS drives always respond with hidden sectors = ???, i.e warning. This patch fixes the problem so that a SAS drive responds with hidden sectors = not applicable. A SATA drive connected to a SAS interface should still respond with yes or no subject to the interface passing HPA and DCO-identify commands.

  • PartialVolume (10 May 24)

    Request change man/nwipe.1 to man/nwipe.8 Manpage is named nwipe.1 which would be correct but manpage contains section 8 which forms a mismatch(warning) in Debian. # Man sections 1 Executable programs or shell commands 2 System calls (functions provided by the kernel) 3 Library calls (functions within program libraries) 4 Special files (usually found in /dev) 5 File formats and conventions, e.g. /etc/passwd 6 Games 7 Miscellaneous (including macro packages and conventions), e.g. man(7), groff(7), man-pages(7) 8 System administration commands (usually only for root) 9 Kernel routines [Non standard] (requested by MvB)

    Merge pull request #574 from Polynomial-C/configure_ac_fix configure.ac: Fix check for parted

  • Lars Wendler (29 Apr 24)

    configure.ac: Fix check for parted PKG_CHECK_MODULES needs all modules in a single list or else the following error message appears during configure run: ./configure: 6807: libconfig: not found because the macro interprets "[libconfig]" as the action that needs to be done if parted was found. Removed superfluous check for libconfig as requested by PartialVolume
