new problem shows up: symblic links (<libname>.so) are created under
/usr/lib/ now, instead of under /lib/geom/ where geom(8) looks for them.
Introduce a workaround to fix this by teaching geom(8) to open libraries
via /lib/geom/<libname>.so.<major_number> instead of /lib/geom/<libname>.so.

provider.
- Bump version number.
This allows for a quite interesting trick. One can setup a stripe with
stripe size of 512 bytes and create transparent provider on top of it
with sector size equal to <ndisks> * 512. The result will be something
like RAID3 without parity disk (every access will touch all disks).
RTF_BLACKHOLE as well.
To quote the submitter:
The uRPF loose-check implementation by the industry vendors, at least on Cisco
and possibly Juniper, will fail the check if the route of the source address
is pointed to Null0 (on Juniper, discard or reject route). What this means is,
even if uRPF Loose-check finds the route, if the route is pointed to blackhole,
uRPF loose-check must fail. This allows people to utilize uRPF loose-check mode
as a pseudo-packet-firewall without using any manual filtering configuration --
one can simply inject a IGP or BGP prefix with next-hop set to a static route
that directs to null/discard facility. This results in uRPF Loose-check failing
on all packets with source addresses that are within the range of the nullroute.

where boot.config needs to reside. Also change /kernel
to /boot/loader, as that is the apparent default now. This
man page probably requires more updates.
Add a MOD_QUIESCE event for modules. This should return error (EBUSY)
of the module is in use.
MOD_UNLOAD should now only fail if it is impossible (as opposed to
inconvenient) to unload the module. Valid reasons are memory references
into the module which cannot be tracked down and eliminated.
When kldunloading, we abandon if MOD_UNLOAD fails, and if -force is
not given, MOD_QUIESCE failing will also prevent the unload.
For backwards compatibility, we treat EOPNOTSUPP from MOD_QUIESCE as
success.
Document that modules should return EOPNOTSUPP for unknown events.
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!
manpage:
The comparison function must return an integer less than, equal to, or
greater than zero if the first argument is considered to be respectively
less than, equal to, or greater than the second.
Therefore, simply returning "arg1 > arg2" is incorrect. Actually it works
but for the number of items to be sorted less than 7 due to special case
handling in qsort(3);
o add missing '\n' to one of usage() calls.

- 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.
routed should be able to specify multicast memberships to be added by
interface index. This should fix the unnumbered / point-to-point case
for RIPv2.

. Implement option -c, all partition sizes will be calculated
in cylinders as opposed to sectors. Since the Sun label is
inherently cylinder-based, this makes the job a little easier.
. Implement option -h, print the label in `human readable'
size/offset format.
. Implement SVR4-compatible VTOC-style elements. They are
fully optional, defaulting to the current behaviour where no
VTOC-style table will be written to disk. However, if
desired, the full functionality of the partitioning menu of
Solaris' format(1m) is now offered (and even more).
. When editing the label, do not loop around edit_label() where
a new template file is generated for each turn, this used to
be annoying in that any possible syntax error caused a
complaint, but then the template was created anew, so the
user had to perform all their editing again. Rather loop
inside edit_label(), similar to bsdlabel(8), so in case of
errors, the user will be presented their previous template
file again.
. If VTOC-style elements are present, the overlap checks are
made less stringent. Overlaps will still be warned about,
but overlaps of `unmountable' partitions against other ones
are no longer fatal. That way, e. g. VxVM encapsulated
disk labels can be fully edited in FreeBSD (but not in
Solaris ;-).
. In print_label(), generate the editing hints only if the -e
flag is in effect. Additionally, print a hint about the
total number of sectors in the (hardware) medium.
. When editing a label, allow for changing the geometry
emulation (and textual name) by modifying the "text:" line
on top. That way, a more effective emulation can be
chosen.
. When editing/reading a label, additionally allow for the
suffixes `s' (512-byte sectors), and `c' (cylinders) in the
partition size field.
. Finally, turn the stub man page into something that really
explains the entire thing.
Print the ETA of dump being finished, rather than a cryptic delta

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).

shuffles the timing and sleep calls in bgfsck from:
sleep timer_on io timer_off io io io io io io io
to
sleep io io io io io io io timer_on io timer_off
The original method basically guaranteed that the timed I/O included a
disk seek every time, which made bgfsck sleep for much longer than
necessary.

routing sockets, too. However prison-root is not able to manipulate
routing tables. So when route(8) attempts to write to a routing

This little thing can cause a deadlock, because taste mechanism start
to work after creation of ggate provider and I/O requests are sent from
other classes from the g_event thread, so number of pending events isn't 0.
Now ggatec(8) start second handshake and ggated(8) is trying to open
GEOM provider (for example md(4)) and it can't, because it hangs on
g_waitidle() in g_dev_open(). g_waitidle() cannot finish because
there is a pending read on event queue, and this read can't be
finished, because ggated(8) can't open target device.
GEOM Gate will recover from this deadlock, because requests will
timeout, but it of course isn't the best solution and I don't know
better one for now, so we should avoid opening GEOM providers while
there are pending requests in event queue.
