modification of a patch which was already applied for BSD/OS in the
Rhyolite.com sources; this file is already off the vendor branch.

o Add sanity checking to the firewall delete operation
which tells the user that a firewall rule
specification is required.
The previous behaviour was to exit without reporting any
errors to the user.

. 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
time. Also, if we have written more blocks than the tapesize, assume
that we are 99.99% done and that we'll be finished 'soon'.
- Connect geom_stripe and geom_nop modules to the build.
- Connect STRIPE and NOP classes to the LINT build.
- Disconnect gconcat(8) from the build.

GEOM classes. CONCAT should be 100% compatible with existing gconcat(8)
utility, which is going to be removed.

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.

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.
