|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility
|
|
installs, examines or modifies the
|
|
.Bx
|
|
label on a disk partition.
|
|
In addition,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can install bootstrap code.
|
|
.Ss Disk Device Name
|
|
When specifying the device,
|
|
the
|
|
.Pa /dev/
|
|
path prefix may be omitted;
|
|
the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility will automatically prepend it.
|
|
.Ss General Options
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl A
|
|
option enables processing of the historical parts of the
|
|
.Bx
|
|
label.
|
|
If the option is not given, suitable values are set for these fields.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
stops the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
program right before the disk would have been modified, and displays
|
|
the result instead of writing it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl m Ar machine
|
|
argument instructs
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to use the layout suitable for the specified machine.
|
|
.Ss Reading the Disk Label
|
|
To examine the label on a disk drive, use
|
|
.Nm
|
|
without options:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl A
|
|
.Op Fl m Ar machine
|
|
.Ar disk
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar disk
|
|
represents the disk in question, and may be in the form
|
|
.Pa da0
|
|
or
|
|
.Pa /dev/da0 .
|
|
It will display the partition layout.
|
|
.Ss Writing a Standard Label
|
|
To write a standard label, use the form
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Fl w
|
|
.Op Fl \&An
|
|
.Op Fl m Ar machine
|
|
.Ar disk
|
|
.Op Ar type
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the drive type is specified, the entry of that name in the
|
|
.Xr disktab 5
|
|
file is used; otherwise a default layout is used.
|
|
.Ss Editing an Existing Disk Label
|
|
To edit an existing disk label, use the form
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Fl e
|
|
.Op Fl \&An
|
|
.Op Fl m Ar machine
|
|
.Ar disk
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This command opens the disk label in the default editor, and when the editor
|
|
exits, the label is validated and if OK written to disk.
|
|
.Ss Restoring a Disk Label From a File
|
|
To restore a disk label from a file, use the form
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Fl R
|
|
.Op Fl \&An
|
|
.Op Fl m Ar machine
|
|
.Ar disk protofile
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is capable of restoring a disk label that was previously saved in a file in
|
|
.Tn ASCII
|
|
format.
|
|
The prototype file used to create the label should be in the same format as that
|
|
produced when reading or editing a label.
|
|
Comments are delimited by
|
|
.Ql #
|
|
and newline.
|
|
.Ss Installing Bootstraps
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl B
|
|
argument is specified, bootstrap code will be read from the file
|
|
.Pa /boot/boot
|
|
and written to the disk.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl b Ar boot
|
|
argument allows a different file to be used.
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /etc/disktab" -compact
|
|
.It Pa /boot/boot
|
|
Default boot image.
|
|
.It Pa /etc/disktab
|
|
Disk description file.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh SAVED FILE FORMAT
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility
|
|
uses an
|
|
.Tn ASCII
|
|
version of the label when examining, editing, or restoring a disk
|
|
label.
|
|
The format is:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset 4n
|
|
|
|
8 partitions:
|
|
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
|
|

|
|

|
|
c: 1173930 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl A
|
|
option is specified, the format is:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset 4n
|
|

Lines starting with a

mark are comments.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The partition table can have up to 8 entries.
|
|
It contains the following information:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Ar #
|
|
The partition identifier is a single letter in the range
|
|
.Ql a
|
|
to
|
|
.Ql h .
|
|
By convention, partition
|
|
.Ql c
|
|
is reserved to describe the entire disk.
|
|
.It Ar size
|
|
The size of the partition in sectors,
|
|
.Cm K
|
|
(kilobytes - 1024),
|
|
.Cm M
|
|
(megabytes - 1024*1024),
|
|
.Cm G
|
|
(gigabytes - 1024*1024*1024),
|
|
.Cm %
|
|
(percentage of free space
|
|
.Em after
|
|
removing any fixed-size partitions other than partition
|
|
.Ql c ) ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm *
|
|
(all remaining free space
|
|
.Em after
|
|
fixed-size and percentage partitions).
|
|
For partition
|
|
.Ql c ,
|
|
a size of
|
|
.Cm *
|
|
indicates the entire disk.
|
|
Lowercase versions of
|
|
.Cm K , M ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm G
|
|
are allowed.
|
|
Size and type should be specifed without any spaces between them.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Example: 2097152, 1G, 1024M and 1048576K are all the same size
|
|
(assuming 512-byte sectors).
|
|
.It Ar offset
|
|
The offset of the start of the partition from the beginning of the
|
|
drive in sectors, or
|
|
.Cm *
|
|
to have
|
|
.Nm
|
|
calculate the correct offset to use (the end of the previous partition plus
|
|
one, ignoring partition
|
|
.Ql c .
|
|
For partition
|
|
.Ql c ,
|
|
.Cm *
|
|
will be interpreted as an offset of 0.
|
|
.It Ar fstype
|
|
Describes the purpose of the partition.
|
|
The example shows all currently used partition types.
|
|
For
|
|
.Tn UFS
|
|
file systems and
|
|
.Xr ccd 4
|
|
partitions, use type
|
|
.Cm 4.2BSD .
|
|
For Vinum drives, use type
|
|
.Cm vinum .
|
|
Other common types are
|
|
.Cm swap
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm unused .
|
|
By convention, partition
|
|
.Ql c
|
|
represents the entire slice and should be of type
|
|
.Cm unused ,
|
|
though
|
|
.Nm
|
|
does not enforce this convention.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility
|
|
also knows about a number of other partition types,
|
|
none of which are in current use.

|
|
For
|
|
.Cm 4.2BSD
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn LFS
|
|
file systems only, the fragment size.
|
|
Defaults to 1024 for partitions smaller than 1GB,
|
|
4096 for partitions 1GB or larger.
|
|
.It Ar bsize
|
|
For
|
|
.Cm 4.2BSD
|
|
and
|
|
.Tn LFS
|
|
file systems only, the block size.
|
|
Defaults to 8192 for partitions smaller than 1GB,
|
|
16384 for partitions 1GB or larger.
|
|
.It Ar bps/cpg
|
|
For
|
|
.Cm 4.2BSD
|
|
file systems, the number of cylinders in a cylinder group.
|
|
For
|
|
.Tn LFS
|
|
file systems, the segment shift value.
|
|
Defaults to 16 for partitions smaller than 1GB,
|
|
64 for partitions 1GB or larger.
