Alexander Leidinger 2e14ff0f41 Say welcome to 'sade', the SysAdmins Disk Editor. It's the fdisk and disklabel part
of sysinstall. So sysinstall may retire now, we have the important non-install part
of it covered.

ATM it doesn't understand GEOM stuff (like mirror, stripe, raid, ...), but patches
to change this and to clean it up internally are more than welcome.

.Sh NAME
.Nm sade
.Nd sysadmins disk editor
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility is used for various disk administration tasks on
.Fx
systems.
.Pp
It is generally invoked without arguments for the default
behavior, where the main menu is presented.
.Sh NOTES
The
.Nm
utility aims to provide a handy tool for disk management
tasks on an already installed system. The goal is to save
some of the useful functionality of the old sysinstall, which
will be removed from the system in favour of the new installer.
.\".Sh FILES
.Sh SEE ALSO
sysinstall(8)
.Sh HISTORY
This version of
.Nm
first appeared in
.Fx 7.0 . The code is extracted from the
sysinstall
utility.
.Sh AUTHORS
.An Jordan K. Hubbard Aq jkh@FreeBSD.org
.Sh BUGS
The utility misses a lot of nice features, such as tools for
manipulating gmirror or gvinum stuff. These will be added
later.
