GParted: desktop icons refreshed

August 25, 2009 — BarryK
The daemon /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d has a feature that it can receive a request to refresh any drives desktop icons (see mods for "w015"). The Universal Installer and BootFlash (/usr/sbin/bootflash and puppyinstaller) make use of this.

However, GParted did not. GParted is launched from the menu via /usr/sbin/gparted_shell, and I have now added code to this script to check if any partitions have changed after gparted has exited and if so make a request to refresh the desktop icons.

I just noticed this in /var/log/messages immediately after booting and continuing ad infinitum. Note that there is no "sdd" or "sdd1" device on the system. Everything appears to be working otherwise. I've rebooted several times with pfix=fsck but no change. Here's a bit of the log (repeats endlessly): Aug 25 15:41:24 (none) user.err kernel: unionfs: filldir: possible I/O error: a file is duplicated in the same branch 1: sdd Aug 25 15:41:28 (none) user.err kernel: unionfs: filldir: possible I/O error: a file is duplicated in the same branch 1: sdd1 Aug 25 15:41:28 (none) user.err kernel: unionfs: filldir: possible I/O error: a file is duplicated in the same branch 1: sdd ....
