1. Started constructing the code we will use to access
and write to /etc/nwipe/nwipe.conf. The initial use of
the nwipe.conf file will be to hold information such
as organisation and technician details that will be used
on the PDF report certificate. We are using the libconfig
library enable us to read and write the conf file. libconfig
is very well documented so editing the conf file manually
should be pretty straight forward. Nwipe will build a basic
conf file to give the user an idea how it should be edited.
2. Updated the README.md, showing the libconfig-dev, libconfig++-dev
needs to be installed.
3. Added some information about the use of hdparm to detect hidden
sectors and also noted that as from v0.35 nwipe will detect hidden
sectors, and may well have an extra method to expose those hidden#
sectors by restoring the DCO.
1. Added a new icon, a yellow exclamation in a red circle
with the words "erased with a warning" inside the circle.
This is used instead of the green tick icon or red cross icon
when a disk is successfully erase as requested but the user
chose not to expose the hidden sectors by removing the HPA and/or
restoring the drive configuration overlay (DCO).
2. Expanded the size of the "Disk Erasure Details" section on
the certificate by 20 points to provide better spacing for warnings
3. Removed remapped sectors label, as that information already
appears on page 2 in the smart data.
4. Improvements to the logic in regards to text colour changes.
5. Added a additional red warning message in the information section
when the exposed sectors of the disc are erased but the hidden sectors
are not.
6. Added the original images in .xcf (gimp) and jpg formats that are
used to generate the embedded .c and .h files using bin2c.
1. nwipe now reads the HPA set and real number of
sectors and the DSO real max sectors. It determines
from these values whether the HPA is enabled, disabled
or in a unknown state. The values are logged to nwipes
log and flags are set in the drives context.
More code will follow that adds this information to the PDF
certificate and to the drive selection window in the GUI.
1. Added the red cross icon located on the top right of
the certificate. This is displayed when the wipe is aborted
or failed to complete due to disc I/O errors etc. The
green tick icon is displayed on a successful wipe.
2. When the user manually aborts the wipe, the bytes so
far erased incorrectly displayed as zero. This change updates the
c->bytes_erased variable in the static pass and random
pass functions to correct this.
1. Embed the images contained in the PDF into nwipes code
rather than use external image files.
2. Changed the font from Times New Roman to Helvetica
to give it a cleaner look.
Stage 1 adds the additional variables to the drive
context and creates the temperature initialisation
function, which associates a hwmonX directory with
a block device. Also wrote the context update function,
that reads hwmon for each drive context and writes the
temperatures back to the context.
Stage 2 commit to follow which will make changes within
the GUI to call the update function every 60 seconds
and display the temperature information.
Since these modules are considered third-party (at
least for now) and we also don't want to apply
formatting to them.
Also removed the `AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS` from `Makefile.am` since
it would appear the `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE` is actually defining
the automake options.
