Trait to provide methods for interacting with partition-based block device.

Required Methods

fn get_file_system(&self) -> Option<FileSystem>

Defines the file system that this device was partitioned with.

fn get_partition_flags(&self) -> &[PartitionFlag]

Ped partition flags that this disk has been assigned.

fn get_partition_label(&self) -> Option<&str>

The label of the partition, if it has one.

fn get_partition_type(&self) -> PartitionType

Whether this partition is primary, logical, or extended.

This only applies to MBR partition tables. Partitions are always Primary on GPT.

fn get_sector_end(&self) -> u64

The sector where this partition ends on the parent block device.

fn get_sector_start(&self) -> u64

The sector where this partition begins on the parent block device..

Provided Methods

fn get_sectors(&self) -> u64

Returns the length of the partition in sectors.

fn is_esp_partition(&self) -> bool

True if the partition is an ESP partition.

fn is_linux_compatible(&self) -> bool

True if the partition is compatible for Linux to be installed on it.

fn is_luks(&self) -> bool

True if this is a LUKS partition

fn is_swap(&self) -> bool

True if the partition is a swap partition.

fn probe<T, F>(&self, func: F) -> T

where F: FnMut(Option<(&Path, UnmountDrop<Mount>)>) -> T,

Mount the file system at a temporary directory, and allow the caller to scan it.

fn probe_os(&self) -> Option<OS>

Detects if an OS is installed to this partition, and if so, what the OS is named.

fn sectors_differ_from<P: PartitionExt>(&self, other: &P) -> bool

True if the sectors in the compared partition differs from the source.

fn sector_lies_within(&self, sector: u64) -> bool

True if the given sector lies within this partition.

fn sectors_overlap(&self, start: u64, end: u64) -> bool

True if there is an overlap in sectors between both partitions.

fn sectors_used(&self) -> Result<u64>

Executes a given file system’s dump command to obtain the minimum shrink size

The return value is measured in sectors normalized to the logical sector size of the partition.

Returns io::ErrorKind::NotFound if getting usage is not supported.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
