Unfortunately, as I understand it, the tools accompanying libguestfs aren't capable of resizing a file system in-place -- a major downside compared to what libparted could do, as you don't necessarily have a spare hard disk in your servers.

Because the only thing I knew up to now was: a) libparted moved to v3.0 and removed lots of filesystem specific code, and b) as a consequence, gparted cannot deal with lots of filesystems anymore since v0.9.0 (when linked to libparted 3.0

I fully agree. Hopefully libguestfs support will be added to GParted soon; as changing the partition layout and resizing the file systems within these partitions is usually a hand-in-hand process, it should be controllable from a single to

I don't get why these libparted features were "deprecated" when their removal leads to GParted 0.9.0 effectively dropping FAT16/FAT32 and HFS(+) support.

"Every best paper from CS conferences" does not really sound like what this site does -- list best papers from 11 CS conferences, a marginal fraction of how many CS conferences are out there.

Any countermeasures, besides not using a kernel supporting the Econet protocol? I.e., does there exist a fix for the first CVE addressed in the exploit's comment?

by bigfoot 16y ago
It's probably a good idea to concentrate maintenance efforts on fewer kernel trees. There should probably be some kind of synchronization going on, i.e. declaring a new "stable" kernel when there are enough major Linux distros currently ba
