Hello to all the list, my name is Lisa and I need to use libparted as part of my GSoC project, but I've stumbled upon some difficulties. I tried looking for documentation or asking on the IRC channel #parted, but without success, so here I am :)
I need to implement these two things: 1) knowing the minimum size a partition can be resized to (for when there is a filesystem and we don't want to destroy its data); 2) resizing a partition together with its filesystem, if resizing is supported for that particular filesystem. I've read that for resizing a filesystem I need to call directly the filesystem services as you don't support it anymore starting from libparted 3.0, and that's okay. For the second task, from what I heard libparted still provides ped_file_system_open and ped_file_system_get_resize_constraint, but it seems I'm not able to access them in my code. I've included the headers parted.h and filesys.h, but I still receive an error from the compiler (not the linker) that it doesn't find them. My version of parted is 3.0-1. What am I missing? :) Regards, Lisa -- They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.
