.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm geom
|
|
.Nd "universal control utility for GEOM classes"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Ar class
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
.Op Ar options
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is used to control various GEOM classes.
|
|
A class has to be aware of
|
|
.Xr geom 8
|
|
comunication methods, but there are also some standard commands
|
|
which can be used for existing
|
|
.Xr geom 8
|
|
unaware classes.
|
|
Here is the list of standard commands:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Cm status"
|
|
.It Cm help
|
|
List all available commands for the given class.
|
|
.It Cm list
|
|
Print detailed information (within the given class) about all geoms
|
|
(if no additional arguments were specified) or the given geoms.
|
|
This command is only available if the given class exists in the kernel.
|
|
.It Cm status
|
|
Print general information (within the given class) about all geoms
|
|
(if no additional arguments were specified) or the given geoms.
|
|
This command is only available if the given class exists in the kernel.
|
|
.It Cm load
|
|
Load the kernel module that implements the given class.
|
|
This command is only available if the class does not yet exist in the kernel and
|
|
the file
|
|
.Pa geom_ Ns Ao Ar class Ac Ns Pa .ko
|
|
can be found in one of the directories specifed in
|
|
.Va kern.module_path
|
|
sysctl.
|
|
.It Cm unload
|
|
Unload the kernel module which implements the given class.
|
|
This command is only available if the given class is loaded as a
|
|
kernel module.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Class-specific commands are implemented as shared libraries which
|
|
are stored in
|
|
.Pa /lib/geom/
|
|
directory and are loaded via
|
|
.Xr dlopen 3
|
|
function when the class name is known.
|
|
When a class-specific shared library exists, a direct utility should also be
|
|
available under the name of
|
|
.Nm g Ns Ar class .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Currently available classes which are aware of
|
|
.Xr geom 8 :
|
|

.El
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
The following environment variables affect the execution of
|
|
.Nm :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Ev GEOM_LIBRARY_PATH"
|
|
.It Ev GEOM_LIBRARY_PATH
|
|
Specifies the path where shared libraries are stored instead of
|
|
.Pa /lib/geom/ .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXIT STATUS
|
|
Exit status is 0 on success, and 1 if the command fails.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following example shows how to set up a stripe on three disks for automatic
|
|
configuration:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
geom stripe label -v -s 65536 data /dev/da0 /dev/da1 /dev/da2
|
|
or:
|
|
gstripe label -v -s 65536 data /dev/da0 /dev/da1 /dev/da2
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Print the list of all providers from the DISK class:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
geom disk list
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Unload a kernel module which implements the MD class:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
geom md unload
