This is the FreeBSD DiskLabel Editor.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're new to this installation, then you should first understand
|
||||
how FreeBSD 2.0.5's new "slices" paradigm for looking at disk storage
|
||||
works. It's not very hard to understand. A "fully qualified slice name",
|
||||
that is the name of the file we open in /dev to talk to the slice,
|
||||
is optionally broken into 3 parts:
|
||||
|
||||
First you have the disk name. Assume we have two SCSI
|
||||
drives in our system, which gives us `sd0' and `sd1'.
|
||||
|
||||
Next you have the "Slice" (or "Master Partition") number,
|
||||
as seen in the Partition Editor. Assume that our sd0 contains
|
||||
two slices, a FreeBSD slice and a DOS slice. This gives us
|
||||
sd0s1 and sd0s2. Let's also say that sd1 is completely devoted
|
||||
to FreeBSD, so we have only one slice there: sd1s1.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, if a slice is a FreeBSD slice, you have a number of
|
||||
(confusingly named) "partitions" you can put inside of it.
|
||||
These FreeBSD partitions are where various filesystems or swap
|
||||
areas live, and using our hypothetical two-SCSI-disk machine
|
||||
again, we might have something like the following layout on sd0:
|
||||
|
||||
Name Mountpoint
|
||||
---- ----------
|
||||
sd0s1a /
|
||||
sd0s1b <swap space>
|
||||
sd0s1e /usr
|
||||
|
||||
Because of historical convention, there is also a short-cut,
|
||||
or "compatibility slice", that is maintained for easy access
|
||||
to the first FreeBSD slice on a disk for those programs which
|
||||
still don't know how to deal with the new slice scheme.
|
||||
The compatibility slice names for our filesystem above would
|
||||
look like:
|
||||
|
||||
Name Mountpoint
|
||||
---- ----------
|
||||
sd0a /
|
||||
sd0b <swap space>
|
||||
sd0e /usr
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD automatically maps the compatibility slice to the first
|
||||
FreeBSD slice it finds (in this case, sd0s1). You may have multiple
|
||||
FreeBSD slices on a drive, but only the first one may be the
|
||||
compatibility slice!
|
||||
|
||||
The compatibility slice will eventually be phased out, but
|
||||
it is still important right now for several reasons:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Some programs, as mentioned before, still don't work
|
||||
with the slice paradigm and need time to catch up.
|
||||
|
||||
2. The FreeBSD boot blocks are unable to look for
|
||||
a root file system in anything but a compatibility
|
||||
slice right now. This means that our root will always
|
||||
show up on "sd0a" in the above scenario, even though
|
||||
it really lives over on sd0s1a and would otherwise be
|
||||
referred to by its full slice name.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you understand all this, then the label editor becomes fairly
|
||||
simple. You're either carving up the FreeBSD slices displayed at the
|
||||
top of the screen into smaller pieces (displayed in the middle of the
|
||||
screen) and then putting FreeBSD file systems on them, Or you're just
|
||||
mounting existing partitions/slices into your filesystem hierarchy;
|
||||
this editor lets you do both. Since a DOS partition is also just
|
||||
another slice as far as FreeBSD is concerned, you can mount one into
|
||||
in your filesystem hierarchy just as easily with this editor. For
|
||||
FreeBSD partitions you can also toggle the "newfs" state so that
|
||||
the partitions are either (re)created from scratch or simply checked
|
||||
and mounted (the contents are preserved).
|
||||
|
||||
When you're done, type `Q' to exit.
|
||||
|
||||
No actual changes will be made to the disk until you (C)ommit from the
|
||||
Install menu! You're working with what is essentially a copy of
|
||||
the disk label(s), both here and in the Master Partition Editor.
