List of mounted partitions, activated swap partitions and loop devices. Amongst other things used for reversing action if mode is changed from update to new installation or if root partition for update is changed. The order of the list if of paramount importance.

Each item is list [string value, string type [, string device]] where:

Keys/values are:

`type The type, one of "mount", "swap" or "crypt".

`device The device.

Returns currently activated partitions.

Return value:

activated

Link to SDB article concerning renaming of devices.

Get the key what of the selected root partition.

Parameters:

what

Set the selected root partition to some valid one. Only make sense if the number of valid root partition is one.

Unmount all mounted partitions, deactivate swaps, detach loopback devices. Uses list activated to make actions in reverse order.

Parameters:

keep_in_target

Add information about mounted partition to internal list.

Parameters:

partinfo

partinfo has to be list with exactly two strings, see description of list "activated"

Check the filesystem of a partition.

Parameters:

partition

Parameters:

headline
question
button_yes
button_no
details

Function checks the device and returns whether it is OK or not. The read-only FS check is performed for jfs only and only one for one device.

Parameters:

mount_type
device
error_message

Return value:

if successfull or if user forces it

Mount partition on specified mount point

Parameters:

mount_point	string mount point to monut the partition at
device	string device to mount
mount_type	string filesystem type to be specified while mounting

Return value:

nil on success, error description on fail

Check filesystem on a partition and mount the partition on specified mount point

Parameters:

mount_point	string mount point to monut the partition at
device	string device to mount
mount_type	string filesystem type to be specified while mounting

Return value:

nil on success, error description on fail

Check that the root filesystem in fstab has the correct device.

Parameters:

partition
fstab
found_partition

Find a mount point in fstab

Parameters:

fstab	a list of fstab entries
mountpoint	string a mount point to find

Return value:

the found partition

Translates FS or Cryptotab (old devices to new ones). Such as /dev/hda5 to /dev/sda5.

Parameters:

translate
key_to_translate
key_preserve_as

Return value:

of translated definitions

Register a new fstab agent and read the configuration from Installation::destdir

Parameters:

fstab

Register a new cryptotab agent and read the configuration from Installation::destdir

Parameters:

crtab

Reads FSTab and CryptoTab and fills fstab and crtab got as parameters. Uses Installation::destdir as the base mount point.

Parameters:

fstab
crtab
root_device_current

Parameters:

crtab
fstab

Check if specified mount point is mounted

Parameters:

mountpoint

the mount point to be checked

Return value:

true if it is mounted

Parameters:

fstab
message

Mount /var partition

Parameters:

device

string device holding the /var subtree

Return value:

nil on success, error description on fail

Check if /var partition is needed, mount it if it is

Parameters:

fstab	a list of fstab entries
root_device_current	string current root device
manual_var_mount	whether to ask user to enter /var device if not found

Return value:

nil on success, error description on fail

Mounting root-partition; reading fstab and mounting read partitions

Parameters:

root_device_current

Get architecture of an elf file.

Parameters:

filename

Checks the partition whether it contains an incomplete installation.

Parameters:

mounted_to

Return value:

true if incomplete

See

BNC #441919

Check a root partition and return map with infomations (see variable rootPartitions).

Parameters:

partition

Find all valid root partitions and place the result in rootPartitions. The partitions are mounted and unmounted again (to Installation::destdir). Loads a bunch of kernel modules.
