3d3ddf3470 Those sysctl are used to control GEOM class, not a userland utility.

a2e31b8b53 - Add 'stop' command, which works just like 'destroy' command, but sounds
less dangerous.
- Update manual pages and extend examples.
- Bump versions.

e1237b285b Introduce GEOM_LABEL class.
This class is used for detecting volume labels on file systems:
UFS, MSDOSFS (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32) and ISO9660.
It also provide native labelization (there is no need for file system).

g_label_ufs.c is based on geom_vol_ffs from Gordon Tetlow.
g_label_msdos.c and g_label_iso9660.c are probably hacks, I just found
where volume labels are stored and I use those offsets here,
but with this class it should be easy to do it as it should be done by
someone who know how.
Implementing volume labels detection for other file systems also should
be trivial.

New providers are created in those directories:
/dev/ufs/ (UFS1, UFS2)
/dev/msdosfs/ (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32)
/dev/iso9660/ (ISO9660)
/dev/label/ (native labels, configured with glabel(8))

Manual page cleanups and some comments inside were submitted by
Simon L. Nielsen, who was, as always, very helpful. Thanks!

a6d8900933 Add missing newlines. 2004-06-17 06:04:14 +00:00

09cc9ab63d Implement 3 new functions:
- g_lcm() - calculates Least Common Multiple of two given values,
		it is helpful when we need to find sector size for provider
		which is based on disks with different sector size;
	- g_get_mediasize() - returns media size of given provider;
	- g_get_sectorsize() - returns sector size of given provider;
Those function aren't used now, but are used by geom_mirror which will be
committed soon.

a158e237fc Introduce geom(8)-specific shared libraries for CONCAT, STRIPE and NOP
GEOM classes. CONCAT should be 100% compatible with existing gconcat(8)
utility, which is going to be removed.

05c9107607 Bring in geom(8) utility. It is an universal utility for operating on
GEOM classes. It works by loading a shared library via dlopen(3) mechanism
with class-specific code, it is also responsible for communicating with
GEOM via libgeom(3).
Per-class shared libraries are going to be stored in /lib/geom/ directory.
It provides also few standard commands like 'list', 'load' and 'unload'
for existing classes which aren't aware of geom(8).
More info will be send on freebsd-current@ mailing list.
