Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] wic: extend empty plugin with options to write zeros to partiton
Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2023 14:52:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1701176186.git.lukas.funke@weidmueller.com> (raw)

From: Lukas Funke <lukas.funke@weidmueller.com>

Adds features to explicitly write zeros to the start of the
partition. This is useful to overwrite old content like
filesystem signatures which may be re-recognized otherwise.

The new features can be enabled with
'--soucreparams="[fill|size=<N>[S|s|K|k|M|G]][,][bs=<N>[S|s|K|k|M|G]]"'
Conflicting or missing options throw errors.

The features are:
- fill
  Fill the entire partition with zeros. Requires '--fixed-size' option
  to be set.
- size=<N>[S|s|K|k|M|G]
  Set the first N bytes of the partition to zero. Default unit is 'K'.
- bs=<N>[S|s|K|k|M|G]
  Write at most N bytes at a time during source file creation.
  Defaults to '1M'. Default unit is 'K'.

Changes in v3:
 - Add testcase 
 - Fix interpretation of --fixed-size parameter

Changed in v2:
 - Added SoB
