Fixed the following warning:
create_pdf.c:795:18: warning: ‘/nwipe_report_’ directive
output may be truncated writing 14 bytes into a region of
size between 1 and 4096 [-Wformat-truncation=]
The message that logs which directory the nwipe PDF certificate is being saved, was being printed multiple times in the middle of the erasure summary table.
This was corrected so that it only prints once at the end of the table
The message that displays where the nwipe PDF certificate
is being saved was being printed multiple times in the
middle of the erasure summary table.
This was corrected so that it only prints once at the end
of the table.
Due to significant delays in obtaining drive temperature
from some drives especially SAS which was causing a noticeable
freeze of a second or two or more in the GUI wipe status
screen, being made worse the more drives that were being
simultaneously wiped.
The temperature update code was separated from the GUI code
by placing the temperature update in it's own thread.
The HPA message alternating with the drive model serial
number made reading the serial number quite a challenge
and made the display far too messy looking when displaying
20+ drives or even 10+ drives with differing HPA statuses.
Removed, alternating appearance.
Reduced size of message.
Placed after temperature, before drive model/serial in display.
Previously smart data was completely located
on page 2 in two columns using a variable width font.
This had two issues. The font size had to be very small
to fit on the page which made it difficult to read
and variable width fonts were used because the smart
attribute table took up too much width when all the data
was displayed in two newspaper type columns. This made the
smart attribute table look messy.
This patch now displays the smart data over page two and three
in mono spaced font and with a larger font size so it's easier
to read and the columns with the smart attribute table are now
aligned correctly.
In terms of the code, I placed the header and footer creation
code in it's own function as this is called multiple times
and will make it easier to add additional information pages
in the future.
Added new options in GUI config menu to display preview of
organisation, customer, date/time at startup prior to drive
selection. This preview is disabled as default but can be
enabled in the config menu.
The purpose of the preview is to allow the user to check &
update as required the organisation details, customer &
current date/time so that the details provided on the PDF
certificate/report are correct.
Some IDE USB adapter chipsets get the endian wrong for model name
This fix identifies a endian swapped model name and corrects it.
The function currently only includes Samsung but I'll add more IDE
drive manufacturers as I come across them.
This is peculiar to some USB IDE adapters. I've never seen this
issue with SATA, ATA drives connected directly to the motherboard.
Under the following conditions a segfault will
occur upon starting nwipe.
Run nwipe with --logfile option AND run nwipe in a directory that does
not have write permissions so the logfile can't be created AND run nwipe
without sudo or root or as as a user without sufficient privileges so
you don't have permissions to write to the directory.
The purpose of this is to read year, month, day, hours
minutes and seconds into variables for updating in the GUI
prior to writing back to the system.
For systems isolated from the internet this will allow the
user to update system date/time from the nwipe GUI rather than
having to drop into the command line.
To complete this feature next will be to create the write_system_datetime
function.
