2008-11-13volume_id: always check for all filesystem types and skip conflicting resultsKay Sievers
We probe for all known filesystems to find conflicting signatures. If we find multiple matching signatures and one of the detected filesystem types claims that it can not co-exist with any other filesystem type, we do not return a probing result. We can not afford to mount a volume with the wrong filesystem code and possibly corrupt it. Linux ssytems have the problem of dozens of possible filesystem types, and volumes with left-over signatures from former filesystem types. Invalid signature need to be removed from the volume to make the filesystem detection successful. We do not want to read that many bytes from probed floppies, skip volumes smaller than a usual floppy disk.
2008-10-21use more appropriate alternatives to malloc()Alan Jenkins
Use calloc to request cleared memory instead. Kernel and libc conspire to make this more efficient. Also, replace one malloc() + strcpy() with strdup(). Signed-off-by: Alan Jenkins <alan-jenkins@tuffmail.co.uk>

2008-05-28volume_id: enable GFS probing code, add LABEL supportKarel Zak
* enables GFS/GFS2 probing code (it's disabled now!) * adds support for LABELs -- it seems that locktable name is usable as a LABEL (at least according to libblkid). * removes extra check of sb_header.mh_format -- nothing in kernel and blkid checks this superblock entry. It seems that check GFS_MAGIC and GFS_METATYPE_SB is enough. Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>

2007-12-17volume_id: also add readable check to probe_all()Kay Sievers
Otherwise probe_all will run two times into a timout, one for the raid, and one for the filesystem probe. Thanks to Tore Anderson for the debugging.
2007-12-16volume_id: run only once into a timeout for unreadable devicesKay Sievers
2007-05-17volume_id: add and export string encoding functionKay Sievers
Needed for mount(8) to lookup LABEL=* in /dev/disk/by-label/*. Characters not suited for a filename will be escaped and the encoded LABEL=* string is able to find the corresponding symlink.

2007-05-03volume_id: add volume_id_get_* functionsKay Sievers
In a future version of libvolume_id, struct volume_id will be an opaque data type, which can't be accessed directly. No interface has changed for now, until all known users are converted not to access the structure directly.
