changed to use libufs in revision 1.71. Without this, any write
failures in newfs were silently ignored.
Note that this will display a meaningless errno string in the case
of a short write as opposed to a write error, since bwrite()'s
return value does not allow the caller to determine if errno is
valid.

not actually have space to spare there.

subsequent start or read attempts to fail. This is part
of a fix for the recently reported hangs.

- dumpon utility has not used kern.dumpdev sysctl
since rev. 1.14 (sbin/dumpon/dumpon.c) when phk@
updated it to use the DIOCSKERNELDUMP ioctl [1]
- remove obsolete reference to sysctl(3)
While I am there, fix two style nits:
- use .Nm instead of `dumpon'
- change NOTES to IMPLEMENTATION NOTES, to bring
it in line with recommended section headings in
mdoc(7)

1024-byte boundaries. For many years this was a reasonable
assumption. However, in recent years we have begun seeing
devices with 2048-byte sectors. These devices return errors
when dump tries to read starting in the middle of a sector
or when it tries to read only the first half of a sector.
Rather than change the native block size used by dump (and
thus create an incompatible dump format), this fix checks
for transfer requests that start and/or end on a non-sector
boundary. When such a read is detected, the new code reads
the entire sector and copies out just the part that dump
needs.

work because it referred to plexes which were almost invariably when
referred to. Instead, deprecate the "prefer" keyword for volumes
(though it's still there for the moment) and add a keyword "preferred"
to the plex definition. The relationship is like this:
Old:
vol foo ... prefer foo.p3
New:
plex foo.p3 volume foo preferred
printconfig: Print out the "preferred" keyword for plexes where
appropriate.
Still print out "prefer" for volumes. The kernel module
continues to accept this version, but it's probably not
going to live much longer.

Accept 0 parameters, hand an empty string to the kernel if so.
Use new ioctl VINUM_READCONFIG, not VINUM_CREATE, to read config.
vinum_start: When passed 0 parameters, drop the devstat kludge and
call vinum_read instead. It's no longer necessary to distinguish
between "start" and "read" if no parameters are passed, and
probably one of them should go away.

If you need to have an MBR or PC98 on your disk, you should not overlap

Don't look for disklabels every 16 bytes, look the only place they should

Always read the label from the raw disk and decode it into struct
disklabel rather than trust a cast from random addresses.
When writing to the raw disk, encode the label properly.
