platforms except ia64 and use Int_Open_Disk() in open_ia64_disk.c
on ia64. We need to know more than GEOM can provide us so we're
forced to read from the disk. Move uuid_type() to open_ia64_disk.c
and remove all references on non-ia64.
o Pass the GEOM conftxt to Int_Open_Disk() so that only Open_Disk()
needs to know about GEOM and libdisk can more easily be used with
media not handled by GEOM.
o Create an ia64 specific definiton of struct disk on ia64, because
we don't need/have most of the fields other platforms need and
other fields not applicable on platforms other than ia64.
o Do not compile change.c on ia64. It's too PC specific.
o In Fixup_Names() in create_chunk.c, try all partition numbers
that are valid for the GPT disk. We have the total number of
partitions that can be allocated in the disk structure on ia64.
Also, use the GPT partition naming if we're creating one under
a chunk of type "whole". It's a GPT partition in that case.
o In Create_Chunk(), compile-out the PC specific code on ia64 that
checks BIOS geometry restrictions.
o In Debug_Disk() in disk.c, dump the ia64 specific fields.
o Save the partition index in the chunk on ia64 so that we can
preserve it when we write the data back to disk. This avoids that
partitions get moved around or swapped after installing FreeBSD,
which may render a disk unusable.
This significantly rewamps libdisks discovery of existing disk
layout.
Please send me reports if this does not work as expected on
i386 or sparc64 platforms.
I need to sort out alpha, pc98 and ia64 (in that order) before
testing on those platforms make a lot of sense.
Belived to work for: i386 sparc64
Unknown state: pc98 alpha ia64
Constify some things.
Staticize some things.
Remove some unused things.
Prototype some things.
Don't install a gazillion man-pages links.
Drop support for ON-TRACK disk-manager.
Set_Boot_Blocks() anyway and should thus have never been a part of
libdisk, it should have been provided by the client of libdisk since
passing the information in is already part of the API.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
discussion on -core about disk partitioning tools etc.
Add NOPIC=yes to Makefile to prevent any possibility of version mismatch
because of the potential grave consequences. (as suggested by phk)
Note that this is also on RELENG_2_1_0, since the sysinstall stuff is
hopefully going to remain in sync.
Remove bogus targets.
Allocate partition letters as follows:
lowest offset "flags & CHUNK_IS_ROOT" gets 'a',
lowest offset "subtype==FS_SWAP" gets 'b'
the rest is allocated in offset order from this sequence "defghab".
This will generally make sense.
Added rules to complain if more than one CHUNK_IS_ROOT or more than one
FS_SWAP per FreeBSD chunk.
Set CHUNK_IS_ROOT on the 'a' partition in Open_Disk.
Run Fixup_Names in Open_Disk.
Made an All_FreeBSD() function.
Added a cmd-line interface (lowest rank) to the tst01 program.
The tst01 program is harmless (worst it can do is coredump), but it
is instructive to run, you can see what the slice-code things of your
disk...
