# Purpose: Acquire device locks prior to running gparted.
|
|
|
|
|
# This is to prevent devices from being automounted.
|

|
|
# File system problems can occur if devices are mounted
|
|
|
|
|
# prior to the completion of GParted's operations.

# In order to prevent HAL-based automounters from mounting partitions

|
|
|
|
# that are being prepared, applications that access block devices
|
|
|
|
|
# directly (and pokes the kernel to reload the partitioning table)
|
|
|
|
|
# should lock out automounters by either a) obtaining the
|
|
|
|
|
# org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Storage lock on each drive being processed;
|
|
|
|
|
# or b) obtaining the global org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Storage lock.
