Ideas for a new disk wizard:
+
= Introduction =
 +
This is a plugin to add new disks to an Amahi HDA in a "seamless as possible" fashion.
  
−
* need to distinguish between temporary/removable and permanent
+
<div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .8em 1em; background-color: #faa; margin: 0px 1em;">
−
* need to have the ability to format
+
'''CAUTION:''' If you mount a drive and at some point remove it, ensure you remove the appropriate entry from the ''/etc/fstab''. If you don't, your HDA will boot into '''Emergency Mode''' and be inoperable.</div>
−
* need to be able to moun or unmount
+
 
−
* easy to make it part of the shares (and the pool)
+
= Assumptions and Dependencies =
−
* should be able to unmount it/remove it?
+
 
−
**Yes if it is flagged as temporary storage
+
== Features ==
 +
* Create partition tables, (e.g., msdos or gpt)
 +
* Create, move, copy, resize, check, label, set new UUID, and delete partitions
 +
* Enable and disable partition flags, (e.g., boot or hidden)
 +
* Align partitions to mebibyte (MiB) or traditional cylinder boundaries
 +
* Attempt data rescue from lost partitions
 +
 
 +
== Devices supported ==
 +
* Hard disk drives (e.g., [[SATA]], [[IDE]], and [[SCSI]])
 +
* Flash memory devices, such as USB memory sticks and Solid State Drives (SSD&#39;s)
 +
* RAID Devices (hardware RAID, motherboard BIOS RAID, and Linux software RAID)
 +
* All sector sizes (e.g., devices with 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 byte sectors and more)
 +
Disk-Wizard does not support logical volume management (LVM2) at present.
 +
 
 +
The Disk-Wizard uses a wide variety of third party libraries and tools which perform these operations. Disk-Wizard is a frontend, which brings together all these underlying functions and processes, and presents them in a graphical and accessible way.
 +
 
 +
There is a list of dependencies, or a list of packages required for the program to work. In this occasion, they are file system tools.
 +
 
 +
* ntfsprogs
 +
* udisks2
 +
* e2fsprogs
 +
* hdparm
 +
 
 +
== File system support ==

Introduction

This is a plugin to add new disks to an Amahi HDA in a "seamless as possible" fashion.

CAUTION: If you mount a drive and at some point remove it, ensure you remove the appropriate entry from the /etc/fstab. If you don't, your HDA will boot into Emergency Mode and be inoperable.

Assumptions and Dependencies

Features

  • Create partition tables, (e.g., msdos or gpt)
  • Create, move, copy, resize, check, label, set new UUID, and delete partitions
  • Enable and disable partition flags, (e.g., boot or hidden)
  • Align partitions to mebibyte (MiB) or traditional cylinder boundaries
  • Attempt data rescue from lost partitions

Devices supported

  • Hard disk drives (e.g., SATA, IDE, and SCSI)
  • Flash memory devices, such as USB memory sticks and Solid State Drives (SSD's)
  • RAID Devices (hardware RAID, motherboard BIOS RAID, and Linux software RAID)
  • All sector sizes (e.g., devices with 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 byte sectors and more)

Disk-Wizard does not support logical volume management (LVM2) at present.

The Disk-Wizard uses a wide variety of third party libraries and tools which perform these operations. Disk-Wizard is a frontend, which brings together all these underlying functions and processes, and presents them in a graphical and accessible way.

There is a list of dependencies, or a list of packages required for the program to work. In this occasion, they are file system tools.

  • ntfsprogs
  • udisks2
  • e2fsprogs
  • hdparm
