Linbo-Gui HDD Anzeige funktioniert nicht bei NVME-SSDs

[nomisge]

Bei unseren Geräten mit NVME-SSDs zeigt linbo unten links bei HDD nicht den Speicherplatz der Betriebssystempartition an.
Statt dessen steht dort "HDD: Prints partition size.Usage:linbo_". Da kommt wohl noch was, das ist aber nicht mehr lesbar.

Der Fehler wurde wohl schon von anderen früher bemerkt, aber vermutlich nicht weiter beachtet:

Ok, it's a bug, nvme clients are affected.

linbo_gui invokes linbo_cmd size /dev/nvmenp. Obviously it does not recognize the nvme disk correctly. So it's an issue of linbo_gui.

@HappyBasher I think, disk detection should not be handled by the gui.

Would it be possible for linbo_cmd size (without further arguments) to print the size of the correct disk?

[HappyBasher]

linbo_cmd size awaits a parameter, either a disk (eg. /dev/nvme0n1) or a partition (eg. /dev/nvme0n1p3). The gui invokes linbo_cmd size two times, once to get the disk size and once to get cache partition data. The first invokation fails because the disk device parameter is wrong, the second is successful because in this case the partition parameter is correct. Therefore I assume the gui should be able to get the correct disk device.

[HappyBasher]

On the other hand, sure I may implement a linbo_size command, which gets the disk & cache device data itself. In this case the gui may invoke linbo_size_disk and linbo_size_cache. The problem is, which disk should be used if the client owns more than one? The disk where the cache partition resides? What do you think?

Using the disk which contains the cache partition seems like a sensible approach.

With Linbo 4.3.0 you can use linbo_size_cache and linbo_size_disk.
