.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is used for GEOM provider labelization.
|
|
A label can be set up on a GEOM provider in two ways:
|
|
.Dq manual
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq automatic .
|
|
When using the
|
|
.Dq manual
|
|
method, no metadata are stored on the devices, so a label has to be configured
|
|
by hand every time it is needed.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq automatic
|
|
method uses on-disk metadata to store the label and detect it automatically in
|
|
the future.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This GEOM class also provides volume label detection for file systems.
|
|
Those labels cannot be set with
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
but must be set with the appropriate file system utility, e.g.\& for UFS
|
|
the file system label is set with
|
|
.Xr tunefs 8 .
|
|
Currently supported file systems are:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
UFS1 volume names (directory
|
|
.Pa /dev/ufs/ ) .
|
|
.It
|
|
UFS2 volume names (directory
|
|
.Pa /dev/ufs/ ) .
|
|
.It
|
|
UFS1 file system IDs (directory
|
|
.Pa /dev/ufsid/ ) .
|
|
.It
|
|
UFS2 file system IDs (directory
|
|
.Pa /dev/ufsid/ ) .
|
|
.It
|
|
MSDOSFS (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32) (directory
|
|
.Pa /dev/msdosfs/ ) .
|
|
.It
|
|
CD ISO9660 (directory
|
|
.Pa /dev/iso9660/ ) .
|
|
.It
|
|
EXT2FS (directory
|
|
.Pa /dev/ext2fs/ ) .
|
|
.It
|
|
REISERFS (directory
|
|
.Pa /dev/reiserfs/ ) .
|
|
.It
|
|
NTFS (directory
|
|
.Pa /dev/ntfs/ ) .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Support for partition metadata is implemented for:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
GPT labels (directory
|
|
.Pa /dev/gpt/ ) .
|
|
.It
|
|
GPT UUIDs (directory
|
|
.Pa /dev/gptid/ ) .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Generic disk ID strings are exported as labels in the format
|
|
.Pa /dev/diskid/GEOM_CLASS-ident
|
|
e.g.
|
|
.Pa /dev/diskid/DISK-6QG3Z026 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Generic labels created and managed solely by
|
|
.Xr glabel 8
|
|
are created in the
|
|
.Pa /dev/label/
|
|
directory.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that for all label types, nested GEOM classes will cause additional
|
|
device nodes to be created, with context-specific data appended to their
|
|
names. E.g. for every node like
|
|
.Pa /dev/label/bigdisk
|
|
there will be additional entries for any partitions which the device
|
|
contains, like
|
|
.Pa /dev/label/bigdiskp1
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa /dev/label/bigdiskp1a .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The first argument to
|
|
.Nm
|
|
indicates an action to be performed:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Cm destroy"
|
|
.It Cm create
|
|
Create temporary label
|
|
.Ar name
|
|
for the given provider.
|
|
This is the
|
|
.Dq manual
|
|
method.
|
|
The kernel module
|
|
.Pa geom_label.ko
|
|
will be loaded if it is not loaded already.
|
|
.It Cm label
|
|
Set up a label
|
|
.Ar name
|
|
for the given provider.
|
|
This is the
|
|
.Dq automatic
|
|
method, where metadata is stored in a provider's last sector.
|
|
The kernel module
|
|
.Pa geom_label.ko
|
|
will be loaded if it is not loaded already.
|
|
.It Cm stop
|
|
Turn off the given label by its
|
|
.Ar name .
|
|
This command does not touch on-disk metadata!
|
|
.It Cm destroy
|
|
Same as
|
|
.Cm stop .
|
|
.It Cm clear
|
|
Clear metadata on the given devices.
|
|
.It Cm dump
|
|
Dump metadata stored on the given devices.
|
|
.It Cm list
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr geom 8 .
|
|
.It Cm status
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr geom 8 .
|
|
.It Cm load
|
|

|
|
.Xr geom 8 .
|
|
.It Cm unload
|
|

|
|
.Xr geom 8 .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Additional options:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
Force the removal of the specified labels.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Be more verbose.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
|
|
The following
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
variables can be used to control the behavior of the
|
|
.Nm LABEL
|
|
GEOM class.
|
|
The default value is shown next to each variable.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Va kern.geom.label.debug : No 0
|
|
Debug level of the
|
|
.Nm LABEL
|
|
GEOM class.
|
|
This can be set to a number between 0 and 2 inclusive.
|
|
If set to 0 minimal debug information is printed, and if set to 2 the
|
|
maximum amount of debug information is printed.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Va kern.geom.label.*.enable : No 1
|
|
Most
|
|
.Nm LABEL
|
|
providers implement a
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
flag and a tunable variable named in the above format. This flag
|
|
controls if the label provider will be active, tasting devices
|
|
and creating label nodes in the
|
|
.Xr devfs 5
|
|
tree. It is sometimes desirable to disable certain label types if
|
|
they conflict with other classes in complex GEOM topologies.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXIT STATUS
|
|
Exit status is 0 on success, and 1 if the command fails.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following example shows how to set up a label for disk
|
|
.Dq Li da2 ,
|
|
create a file system on it, and mount it:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
glabel label -v usr /dev/da2
|
|
newfs /dev/label/usr
|
|
mount /dev/label/usr /usr
|
|
[...]
|
|
umount /usr
|
|
glabel stop usr
|
|
glabel unload
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The next example shows how to set up a label for a UFS file system:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
tunefs -L data /dev/da4s1a
|
|
mount /dev/ufs/data /mnt/data
|
|
.Ed
