vinum_mirror, vinum_raid4, vinum_raid5.
Correct typos.
Show new output of the 'list' and 'ls' commands.
Update examples to use 279 kB stripe sizes instead of 256 kB.
Clarify some text.
Remove the description of the 'invalid ioctl' messages which now no
longer occur.
Add a description of the 'retryerrors' keyword.
to avoid including the kernel headers.
Move a number of definitions of userland functions from
dev/vinum/vinumext.h.
Desired by: bde
This commit is the first of a general cleanup of the header files..
It won't be enough to make bde happy.
Remove vinum_perror and associated DEVBUG definition.
Use userland expurgated versions of kernel structures, since that's
what the ioctls return now.
Remove vinum_perror.
main: Check kernel version with userland version in _vinum_conf. This
field is a constant which gets incremented every time the
kernel-userland interface changes. This enables vinum(8) to
check for the correct kernel version and to produce a useful
message if it doesn't match. For previous versions, which don't
have a version number, the length of the structure is different,
so we can recognize it via the EINVAL return from ioctl.
Supply count parameter to tokenize().
Change method of recognizing active devfs: replace devfs_is_active
with (complemented) no_devfs.
make_devices: remove references to devfs. If we're running devfs, we
don't need to call make_devices at all.
vinum_makedev (user command 'makedev'): Print a warning message if
devfs is running and don't do anything else.
Remove vinum_perror.
Modify 'list' brief printout to fit in 80 columns.
Modify 'ls' brief printout to show the drive to which the subdisk
before instead of the plex offset, which is usually less interesting.
The verbose printout remains unchanged.
Use userland expurgated versions of kernel structures, since that's
what the ioctls return now.
Move checkupdates here to simplify header file mess.
Remove 'vinum_perror'.
Only call make_devices if we're not running devfs.
Use userland expurgated versions of kernel structures, since that's
what the ioctls return now.
Update help list, which was lagging behind reality.
checkupdates: move to list.c to simplify header file mess.
vinum_stripe, vinum_mirror, vinum_raid4, vinum_raid5: change the
default stripe size from 256 k to 279 k, thus hopefully spreading
superblocks more evenly.
userland tool:
Use the vfs.devfs.generation sysctl to test for devfs presense
(thanks phk!) when devfs is active it will not try to create the
device nodes in /dev and therefore will not complain about the
failure to do so.
Revert the change in the #define for VINUM_DIR in the kernel
header so that vinum can find its device nodes.
Replace perror() with vinum_perror() to print file/line when
DEVBUG is defined (not defined by default).
kernel:
Don't use the #define names for the "superdev" creation since
they will be prepended by "/dev/" (based on VINUM_DIR), instead
use string constants.
Create both debug and non-debug "superdev" nodes in the devfs.

Allow stopping long-running commands with ^C (well, SIGINTR).
Previously this would stop the program.
directly off the drives.
This command shows a minor problem: it requires that the device nodes
exist, whereas kernel Vinum does not. Thus dumpconfig may show no
configuration for certain drives which are up and happily running.
This is documented in the man page.
Describe -i option for start.
Update description of start command (will now work on plexes).
Update discussion of choice of stripe size (don't use power of 2).
Remove references to raw devices.
Add -i option to delay between blocks copied, to reduce performance
impact.
Remove -v option, things work now.
Rewrite parity maintenance functions.
Rebuildparity: Add -v option to check whether it was broken before
rebuilding each block.
Describe stop -f to stop when config updates are disabled.
Explain in more detail why Vinum needs its own partition type, and why
you can't make it the c partition.

replaces an older attempt to silence vinum(8) when started in
single-user mode.
Add entries for vinum_raid[45].
Replace the preprocessor variable name CDEV_MAJOR with
VINUM_CDEV_MAJOR.
continue_revive: Set the proc title to 'reviving <sdname>' so that it
can be recognized in a ps list.

drive if it is set.
vinum_lvi: Change line spacing. This is still not right.
Change checks for striped or RAID-5 plexes to a macro 'isstriped',
which now also includes RAID-4.
Change checks for RAID-5 plexes to a macro 'isparity', which now also
includes RAID-4.
vinum_lsi: If the subdisk is initializing or reviving, don't wait a
whole second to check whether it's advancing; wait in increments of 50
ms up to 1 second. This makes for a barely perceptible delay.

enabled and print a warning message in varous places if they are not.
Fix typos in comments.
Change some indents to approach style(9).
initvol: If init fails, place the subdisks in a "down" state.
vinum_start(): If we're starting a plex, try doing it directly. It's
possible that the state of the plex differs from that of the subdisks,
for example if somebody has used 'setupstate'.
New functions vinum_raid4 and vinum_raid5 to create RAID-4 and RAID-5
volumes, analagous to vinum_mirror and vinum_stripe.
vinum_checkparity: Don't try to check the parity of a non-parity plex,
print a rude remark instead.
