completed by: Puck Meerburg

mentors: Diver, Siarzhuk Zharski, Gerasim Troeglazov

The goal of this task is the implementing correct solution to fix issue with false alarm on successful mounting in DriveSetup. This is a coding task, for this task you will need to have a Haiku build environment setup, and be able to compile Haiku modules to fix the problem and check if your solution works. The basic knowledge of GIT SCM is also needed.

Requirements:

  • Install Haiku either on real hardware or in Virtual Machine (BTW, I can assist installing VirtualBox so it is obviously recommended by me);
  • Take familiar with the problem you should fix - try to mount some partitions in DriveSetup and observe the "Mount failed" message despite the fact that partition was mounted successfully;
  • Get the Haiku source tree, build it and find solution to fix the problem;
  • After completing this task, please provide us with the git-formatted patch implementing your fix.

 Good luck!
