Following recent discussions on the -arch mailing list, involving dillon
and mckusick, this change parallels the one made over a decade ago when
the default was bumped up from 4096/512.
This should provide significant performance improvements for most
folks, less significant performance losses for a few folks and
wasted space lost to large fragments for many folks.
For discussion, please see the following thread in the -arch archive:
Subject: Using a larger block size on large filesystems
The discussion ceases to be relevant when the issue of partitioning
schemes is raised.
have a USB mouse. Here's the deal on how this works: USB mouse have
moused run for them automatically by usbd so we don't need to setup moused
for them. We do need to setup moused for other mice though, so if the
user has a USB mouse, we don't need to do anything. Hence the wording
"Do you have a non-USB mouse installed?" for the question. The question
can be reworded as "Do you have a PS/2 or Serial mouse installed?" instead
if that is preferred.
(1) We don't need compat3x and compat4x as we build the bits on the proper
release now (vs. getting them from the XFree people).
(2) We handle the compat2x needs thru proper port dependancies now.
sysinstall will automatically expand the previous partition to take up
the freed up space. So you can 'D'elete /home and /usr will get the
combined space, or you can 'D'elete /tmp and /var will get the combined space.
This gives the user, developer, or lay person a huge amount of flexibility
in constructing partitions from an 'A'uto base. It takes only 3 or 4
keystrokes to achieve virtually any combination of having or not having
a /tmp and/or /home after doing an 'A'uto create.
Change 'A'uto creation of /var/tmp to 'A'uto creation /tmp, which should
be less controversial.

defaults both in regards to the size of the partitions that are created
and in regards to safety and functional separation.
Still TODO: extend the previous partition to cover a deleted partition
if the previous partiton was auto-created, and supply some sort of
solution for /tmp.

1) Use devfs to mount filesystems. If mounting devfs is fail,
fallback to old code.
2) When fscking filesystems, use 'fsck_ffs' explicitly. As a
result, we no longer need 'fsck' the wrapper program.

step for this is to commit yokota-san's patch (add userconfig command
for loader).

SysKonnect SK-9D21 and SK-9D41, and the built-in gigE NICs on
Dell PowerEdge 2550 servers. The latter configuration hauls ass:

TCP/IP checksum offload, jumbo frames and VLAN tag insertion/stripping

floppies if you try to actually use it. This code will work fine if
you build and use sysinstall on a running system, since you have the
benefit of an installed termcap file. However, this code does not
work on an MFSROOT, where you must set the TERMCAP environment
variable properly. Unfortunately the quick fix of setting the TERMCAP
variable doesn't seem to fix the problem either. olgeni will add this
functionality back once it's been fully implemented (hopefully using
the working code in termcap.c).

and RTSOL in sysinstall. If the respective TRY_FOO variable is set to
"YES" then it will be tried without prompting the user.
However, if the TRY_FOO variable is set to "NO" then the user will not
be prompted for a choice. This is the correct behavior, since we want
people to be able to script sysinstall in either case.
However, the default TRY_FOO variable has been "NO" since 1999. This
is incorrect, and when the logic was corrected in tcpip.c this has the
effect of never giving the user a choice to use DHCP or IPv6. The
value should be undefined until it is set by a script or by the user.
