More axe-work:
Hide all the historical fields of the label, unless people ask for them with -A, set them to intelligently chosen defaults otherwise. Distill the manual page to remove inaccuracies, misundertandings and obsolete information. It can probably still be done better but now at least it is not misinforming people.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
utility
|
||||
installs, examines or modifies the label on a disk drive or pack.
|
||||
When writing
|
||||
the label, it can be used to change the drive identification, the disk
|
||||
partitions on the drive, or to replace a damaged label.
|
||||
There are several forms
|
||||
of the command that read (display), install, or edit the label on a disk.
|
||||
installs, examines or modifies the BSD label on a disk partition.
|
||||
In addition,
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
can install bootstrap code.
|
||||
.Ss Raw or In-Core Label
|
||||
The disk label resides close to or at the beginning of each disk slice.
|
||||
For faster access, the kernel maintains a copy in core at all times.
|
||||
By default, most
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
access the in-core copy of the label.
|
||||
To access the raw (on-disk) copy, use the
|
||||
.Fl r
|
||||
option.
|
||||
This option allows a label to be installed on a disk without kernel
|
||||
support for a label, such as when labels are first installed on a system; it
|
||||
must be used when first installing a label on a disk.
|
||||
The specific effect of
|
||||
.Fl r
|
||||
is described under each command.
|
||||
.Ss Disk Device Name
|
||||
All
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
forms require a disk device name, which should always be the raw
|
||||
device name representing the disk or slice.
|
||||
For example,
|
||||
.Pa da0
|
||||
represents the entire disk regardless of any
|
||||
.Tn DOS
|
||||
partitioning,
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Pa da0s1
|
||||
represents a slice.
|
||||
Some devices, most notably
|
||||
.Xr ccd 4 ,
|
||||
require that the
|
||||
.Dq whole-disk
|
||||
(or
|
||||
.Ql c )
|
||||
partition be specified.
|
||||
For example,
|
||||
.Pa ccd0c .
|
||||
When specifying the device,
|
||||
the
|
||||
.Pa /dev/
|
||||

|
||||
.Ss General options
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fl A
|
||||
option enables processing of the historical parts of the BSD label.
|
||||
If the option is not given, suitable values are set for these fields.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fl n
|
||||
stops the
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
program right before the disk would have been modified, and displays
|
||||
the result instead of writing it.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Fl m Ar machine
|
||||
argument instructs
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
to use the layout suitable for the specified machine.
|
||||
.Ss Reading the Disk Label
|
||||
To examine the label on a disk drive, use
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
without options:
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
.Op Fl r

|
||||
represents the disk in question, and may be in the form
|
||||
.Pa da0
|
||||
or
|
||||
.Pa /dev/da0c .
|
||||
It will display all of the parameters associated with the drive and its
|
||||
partition layout.
|
||||
Unless the
|
||||
.Fl r
|
||||
option is given,
|
||||
the kernel's in-core copy of the label is displayed;
|
||||
if the disk has no label, or the partition types on the disk are incorrect,
|
||||
the kernel may have constructed or modified the label.
|
||||
If the
|
||||
.Fl r
|
||||
option is given,
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
reads the label from the raw disk and displays it.
|
||||
Both versions are usually
|
||||
identical except in the case where a label has not yet been initialized or
|
||||
is corrupt.
|
||||
.Pa /dev/da0 .
|
||||
It will display the partition layout.
|
||||
.Ss Writing a Standard Label
|
||||
To write a standard label, use the form
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
.Fl w
|
||||
.Op Fl nr
|
||||
.Op Fl nA
|
||||
.Op Fl m Ar machine
|
||||
.Ar disk type
|
||||
.Op Ar packid
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The required arguments to
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
are the drive to be labeled, and the drive type as described in the
|
||||
.Xr disktab 5
|
||||
file.
|
||||
The drive parameters and partitions are taken from that file.
|
||||
If different disks of the same physical type are to have different partitions,
|
||||
it will be necessary to have separate
|
||||
.Xr disktab 5
|
||||
entries describing each, or to edit
|
||||
the label after installation as described below.
|
||||
The optional argument is a
|
||||
pack identification string, up to 16 characters long.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Ar packid
|
||||
must be quoted if it contains blanks.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
If the
|
||||
.Fl m
|
||||
option is given, then label will be written so that
|
||||
it is understood by the target
|
||||
.Ar machine ;
|
||||
defaults to the current hardware architecture.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
If
|
||||
.Fl n
|
||||
is used, no data will be written to the device, and instead the
|
||||
disk label that would have been written will be printed to standard output.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
If the
|
||||
.Fl r
|
||||
option is given, the disk sectors containing the label and bootstrap
|
||||
will be written directly.
|
||||
A side-effect of this is that any existing bootstrap code will be overwritten
|
||||
and the disk rendered unbootable.
|
||||
See the boot options below for a method of
|
||||
writing the and the bootstrap at the same time.
|
||||
If
|
||||
.Fl r
|
||||
is not specified,
|
||||
the existing label will be updated via the in-core copy, and any bootstrap
|
||||
code will be unaffected.
|
||||
If the disk does not already have a label, the
|
||||
.Fl r
|
||||
option must be used.
|
||||
In either case, the kernel's in-core label is replaced.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
For a virgin disk that is not known to
|
||||
.Xr disktab 5 ,
|
||||
.Ar type
|
||||
can be specified as
|
||||
.Cm auto .
|
||||
In this case, the driver is requested to produce a virgin label for the
|
||||
disk.
|
||||
This might or might not be successful, depending on whether the
|
||||
driver for the disk is able to get the required data without reading
|
||||
anything from the disk at all.
|
||||
It will likely succeed for all
|
||||
.Tn SCSI
|
||||
disks, most
|
||||
.Tn IDE
|
||||
disks, and
|
||||
.Cm vnode
|
||||
type memory disks
|
||||
.Pq Xr md 4 .
|
||||
Writing a label to the
|
||||
disk is the only supported operation, and the
|
||||
.Ar disk
|
||||
itself must be provided as the canonical name, i.e., not as a full
|
||||
path name.
|
||||
.Op Ar type
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
For most harddisks, a label based on percentages for most partitions (and
|
||||
one partition with a size of
|
||||
.Ql * )
|
||||
will produce a reasonable configuration.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
PC-based systems have special requirements in order for the
|
||||
.Tn BIOS
|
||||
to properly recognize a
|
||||
.Fx
|
||||
disk label.
|
||||
Older systems may require what is known as a
|
||||
.Dq dangerously-dedicated
|
||||
disk label, which creates a fake
|
||||
.Tn DOS
|
||||
partition to work around problems older
|
||||
.Tn BIOS Ns es
|
||||
have with modern disk geometries.
|
||||
On newer systems, a normal
|
||||
.Tn DOS
|
||||
partition should generally be created using
|
||||
.Xr fdisk 8 ,
|
||||
and then a
|
||||
.Fx
|
||||
disk label within that slice.
|
||||
This is described later on in this page.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Installing a new disk label does not in of itself allow the system to boot
|
||||
a kernel using that label.
|
||||
Boot blocks must also be installed, which is
|
||||
described later on in this manual page.
|
||||
If the drive type if specified the entry of that name in the
|
||||
.Xr disktab 5
|
||||
file is used, otherwise a default layout is used.
|
||||
.Ss Editing an Existing Disk Label
|
||||
To edit an existing disk label, use the form
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
.Fl e
|
||||
.Op Fl nr
|
||||
.Op Fl nA

|
||||
This command reads the label from the in-core kernel copy, or directly from the
|
||||
disk if the
|
||||
.Fl r
|
||||
option is also specified.
|
||||
The label is written to a file in
|
||||
.Tn ASCII
|
||||
format, and then supplied to an editor for changes.
|
||||
If no editor is specified in the
|
||||
.Ev EDITOR
|
||||
environment variable,
|
||||
.Xr vi 1
|
||||
is used.
|
||||
When the editor terminates, the label file is used to rewrite the disk label.
|
||||
Existing bootstrap code is unchanged regardless of whether
|
||||
.Fl r
|
||||
was specified.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
If the
|
||||
.Fl m
|

option is given, then the label will be written so that

.Pp
|

If
|
||||
.Fl n
|
||||
is used, no data will be written to the device, and instead the
|
||||
disk label that would have been written will be printed to standard output.
|
||||
This is
|
||||
useful to see how a partitioning scheme will work out for a specific disk.
|
||||
This command opens the disklabel in the default editor and when the editor
|
||||
exits the label is validated and if OK written to disk.
|
||||
.Ss Restoring a Disk Label From a File

.Ss Installing Bootstraps

||||

.Dq dangerously-dedicated
|
||||

|
||||
the raw disk name such as
|
||||
.Pa da0
|
||||
should be specified.
|
||||
If an existing slice should be labeled,
|
||||
the slice name such as
|

.Pa da0s1
|
||||
should be specified,
|

.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
||||
The kernel device drivers will not allow the size of a disk partition
|
||||
to be decreased or the offset of a partition to be changed while it is open.
|
||||
Some device drivers create a label containing only a single large partition
|
||||
if a disk is unlabeled; thus, the label must be written to the
|
||||
.Ql a
|
||||
partition of the disk while it is open.
|
||||
This sometimes requires the desired label to be set in two steps,
|
||||
the first one creating at least one other partition,
|
||||
and the second one setting the label on the new partition
|
||||
while shrinking the
|
||||
.Ql a
|
||||
partition.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
On some machines, the bootstrap code may not fit entirely in the area
|
||||
allocated for it by some file systems.
|
||||
As a result,
|
||||
it may not be possible to have file systems on some partitions of a
|
||||
.Dq bootable
|
||||
disk.
|
||||
When installing bootstrap code,
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
checks for these cases.
|
||||
If the installed boot code would overlap a partition of type
|
||||
.Dv FS_UNUSED ,
|
||||
it is marked as type
|
||||
.Dv FS_BOOT .
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Xr newfs 8
|
||||
utility will disallow creation of file systems on
|
||||
.Dv FS_BOOT
|
||||
partitions.
|
||||
Conversely, if a partition has a type other than
|
||||
.Dv FS_UNUSED
|
||||
or
|
||||
.Dv FS_BOOT ,
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
will not install bootstrap code that overlaps it.
|
||||
.Sh BUGS
|
||||
When a disk name is given without a full pathname,
|
||||
the constructed device name uses the
|
||||
.Ql c
|
||||
partition.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
For the i386 architecture, the primary bootstrap sector contains
|
||||
an embedded
|
||||
.Em fdisk
|
||||
table.
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
utility takes care to not clobber it when installing a bootstrap only
|
||||
.Pq Fl B ,
|
||||
or when editing an existing label
|
||||
.Pq Fl e ,
|
||||
but it unconditionally writes the primary bootstrap program onto
|
||||
the disk for
|
||||
.Fl w
|
||||
or
|
||||
.Fl R ,
|
||||
thus replacing the
|
||||
.Em fdisk
|
||||
table by the dummy one in the bootstrap program.
|
||||
This is only of
|
||||
concern if the disk is fully dedicated, so that the
|
||||
.Fx
|
||||
disk label
|
||||
starts at absolute block 0 on the disk.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
utility
|
||||
does not perform all possible error checking.
|
||||
Warnings are given if partitions overlap,
|
||||
if an absolute offset does not match the expected offset,
|
||||
if the
|
||||
.Ql c
|
||||
partition does not start at 0 or does not cover the entire slice,
|
||||
if a partition runs past the end of the device,
|
||||
and a number of other errors,
|
||||
but no warning is given if space remains unused.
