1. Reduced font size for data info.
2. Used a define for text point size to make it easier
to change size.
3. Started work on function to parse sense data for older
versions of hdparm (9.60) that fail to parse the real max
sectors correctly. (fixed in 9.65).
4. Miscellaneous changes.
More changes to follow ..
This fixes column alignment issues in the gui
with nvme drives i.e. nvme0n1 etc. If the drive
name including path exceeds 8 characters the
/dev/ is removed and prefixed with spaces to
a total max length of 8 characters.
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.
We already determine the bus type,
ATA, USB, NVME, VIRT (loop) etc
and display the bus type on the GUI.
libparted prefixes the model number
with ATA which we don't need, especially
as we try to keep the drive display length
to a maximum of 80 characters.
I've always wondered, when you first view
all the drives, why drives above 999GB appeared
in their GB nomenclature instead of TB. For
instance a 2TB drive would appear as 2000GB.
Unlike other places in nwipe that does a proper
job of describing capacity just this one location
in the program was wrong.
This information was obtained by a call to a function
in libparted. Maybe when libparted was written there
was no such thing as a TByte drive ?? Who knows, so
anyway it was far easier to use nwipes build in function
called 'determine_C_B_nomenclature()' This provides us
with the correct nomenclature that is a fixed number of
digits (three) and prefixed with spaces so the length
is always the same. In the GUI this gives a nice
list when viewing multiple drives that appears in neat
columns.
Add serial number support for USB devices for USB
to IDE/SATA adapters. Note this will only work
with USB IDE/SATA adapters that support ATA pass
through. See #149 for further details of
supported devices.
This patch requires readlink and smartmontools (smartctl)
to be installed. If not installed the serial number for
supported USB hardware will be missing.
The device type, i.e USB or ATA is now shown on the selection
and wipe windows.
