Haiku installer can reset system without wiping data |
 |
The Haiku team have published their monthly newsletter which outlines work being done to the lightweight, desktop operating system. One of the significant changes in the works is the ability to support both the XFS and UFS filesystems. The system installer can now be used to reset the operating system without wiping out existing data files and settings. "Parts of this summer GSoC work from cruxbox (on XFS) and Suhel Mehta (on UFS2) were merged. The filesystems are still not quite ready for day to day usage, however. PulkoMandy’s work on MMC and SDHCI (for eMMC and SD cards) has been merged but is still incomplete and not enabled by default. Korli added posix_fallocate with the matching syscall to preallocate disk space before writing it, and also added an implementation for SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE in lseek. kallisti5 changed the write() implementation to allow 0-byte writes, as needed by the Go port. Installer can be used again to erase an existing install while preserving user data and settings. This can be used to restore an unbootable system while keeping the user data." |
