Hi,
i observed a strange behavior of the disc.commit() function.
I would expect, that i have to perform a commit after applying all necessary operations.
For reproducing, i created a simple test application:
#!/usr/bin/env python
#
# Requirements:
# - python
# - python-dev
# - pyparted
import parted
# Create a disk image then attach it to a loopback device (e.g. /dev/loop0)
'''
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk.img bs=512 count=2097152
losetup -f disk.img
'''
alwaysCommit = False
commitBeforeExtended = True
lengthModifier = 0
devicePath = '/dev/loop0'
device = parted.getDevice(devicePath)
disk = parted.freshDisk(device, "msdos")
# create partition 1
geometry1 = parted.Geometry(device=device, start=1, length=parted.sizeToSectors(16, 'MiB', device.sectorSize))
filesystem1 = parted.FileSystem(type='fat32', geometry=geometry1)
partition1 = parted.Partition(disk=disk,
type=parted.PARTITION_NORMAL,
fs=filesystem1,
geometry=geometry1)
disk.addPartition(partition1, constraint=device.optimalAlignedConstraint)
if alwaysCommit:
disk.commit()
# partition 2
geometry2 = parted.Geometry(device=device, start=partition1.geometry.end + 1,
length=parted.sizeToSectors(512, 'MiB', device.sectorSize))
filesystem2 = parted.FileSystem(type='ext4', geometry=geometry2)
partition2 = parted.Partition(disk=disk,
type=parted.PARTITION_NORMAL,
fs=filesystem2,
geometry=geometry2)
disk.addPartition(partition2, constraint=device.optimalAlignedConstraint)
if alwaysCommit:
disk.commit()
# partition 3
geometry3 = parted.Geometry(device=device, start=partition2.geometry.end + 1,
length=parted.sizeToSectors(512, 'MiB', device.sectorSize))
filesystem3 = parted.FileSystem(type='ext4', geometry=geometry3)
partition3 = parted.Partition(disk=disk,
type=parted.PARTITION_NORMAL,
fs=filesystem3,

disk.addPartition(partition3, constraint=device.optimalAlignedConstraint)
if alwaysCommit or commitBeforeExtended:
disk.commit()
# partition 4: Extended
geometry4 = parted.Geometry(device=device, start=partition3.geometry.end + 1,
end=device.length-lengthModifier)
partition4 = parted.Partition(disk=disk,
type=parted.PARTITION_EXTENDED,
geometry=geometry4)
disk.addPartition(partition4, constraint=device.optimalAlignedConstraint)
if alwaysCommit:
disk.commit()
# partition 5: Logical
geometry5 = parted.Geometry(device=device, start=partition4.geometry.start + 1,
length=parted.sizeToSectors(256, 'MiB', device.sectorSize))
filesystem5 = parted.FileSystem(type='ext4', geometry=geometry5)
partition5 = parted.Partition(disk=disk,
type=parted.PARTITION_LOGICAL,
fs=filesystem5,
geometry=geometry5)
disk.addPartition(partition5, constraint=device.optimalAlignedConstraint)
if alwaysCommit:
disk.commit()
# partition 6: Logical
geometry6 = parted.Geometry(device=device, start=partition5.geometry.end + 1,
length=parted.sizeToSectors(256, 'MiB', device.sectorSize))
filesystem6 = parted.FileSystem(type='ext4', geometry=geometry6)
partition6 = parted.Partition(disk=disk,
type=parted.PARTITION_LOGICAL,
fs=filesystem6,
geometry=geometry6)
disk.addPartition(partition6, constraint=device.optimalAlignedConstraint)
disk.commit()
My first thought was to use the options as follows, but the operation fails
alwaysCommit = False
commitBeforeExtended = False
lengthModifier = 0
