VSS stands for "Volume Shadow Copy Service". Unlike virtual machine
snapshot, it only takes snapshot for the virtual disks, so both
filesystem and applications have to aware of it, and cooperate the
whole VSS process.
This driver exposes two device files to the userland:
/dev/hv_fsvss_dev
Normally userland programs should _not_ mess with this device file.
It is currently used by the hv_vss_daemon(8), which freezes and
thaws the filesystem. NOTE: currently only UFS is supported, if
the system mounts _any_ other filesystems, the hv_vss_daemon(8)
will veto the VSS process.
If hv_vss_daemon(8) was disabled, then this device file must be
opened, and proper ioctls must be issued to keep the VSS working.
/dev/hv_appvss_dev
Userland application can opened this device file to receive the
VSS freeze notification, hold the VSS for a while (mainly to flush
application data to filesystem), release the VSS process, and
receive the VSS thaw notification i.e. applications can run again.
The VSS will still work, even if this device file is not opened.
However, only filesystem consistency is promised, if this device
file is not opened or is not operated properly.
hv_vss_daemon(8) is started by devd(8) by default. It can be disabled
by editting /etc/devd/hyperv.conf.

Currently, '/etc/rc.d/swaplate stop' removes all swap devices. This can be
very slow and may not even be possible if there is a lot of swap space in
use. However, removing swap devices is only needed for late swap devices
that may depend on daemons that subsequent shutdown steps stop. Normal swap
devices such as hard disk partitions will remain available throughout the
shutdown process and need not be removed.
In swapoff, interpret -aL to remove late swap devices only, and use this in
etc/rc.d/swaplate. The meaning of -aL in swapon remains unchanged (add all
swap devices, both normal and late).

Currently zfsbe ensures that subordinate filesystems are mounted at the
right mount points.
The script assumes that the subordinate filesystems of a boot environment
have their canmount property set to noauto, so that they are not
automatically mounted on boot. Whereas the root filesystem is mounted
by the kernel, there was nothing to mount its subordinates.
rc.d/zfsbe fills that gap.

that can be compiled on various OSes (including on older versions
of FreeBSD), make it possible to have it include the partitioning
scheme definitions without pulling in FreeBSD specifics.
In particular this means:
o move the scheme definitions iand related defines to header files
under sys/disk,
o make them (more) portable by using uint#_t (where applicable)
and renaming defines so that they at least have a good prefix,
o make the new headers stand-alone so that they don't need FreeBSD
definitions, like struct uuid(*)
o keep the original headers for compatibility, but rewrite them to
get the scheme definitions from <sys/disk/$scheme.h>.
(*) since UUID/GUID type definitions are non-portable and the GPT
scheme uses them, make it possible to have the scheme definitions
use an external type by allowing consumers of the header to set
GPT_UUID_TYPE. When GPT_UUID_TYPE has not been defined, the header
will use it's own type definition, which is the same as struct uuid.
The gpt_uuid_t typedef is created to abstract the details and allows
consumers to refer to a single type.
There is not conflict between the partitioning scheme headers and
what is defined in them. All headers can be included in the same
source files.
Note: consumers of the old headers have not been changed yet. Such
will be done if and when needed/beneficial.

100.chksetuid and 110.neggrpperm try to search through all UFS and ZFS
filesystems. But their logic contains an error. They also search through
remote filesystems that are mounted on top of the root of a local
filesystem. For example, if a user installs a FreeBSD system with the
default ZFS layout, he'll get a zroot/usr/home filesystem. If he then mounts
/usr/home over NFS, these scripts would search through /usr/home.
