This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
disklabel(8) to the kernel (dsopen()). Drivers should initialize the
hardware values (rpm, interleave, skews). Drivers currently don't do
this, but it usually doesn't matter since rotational position stuff is
normally disabled.
required information from the driver, and produce a virgin disklabel
for it. The latter might be further edited with `disklabel -e' to
satisfy the user's need.
The magic sequence is:
disklabel -r -w sdX auto
disklabel -e sdX
the values that it doesn't print by defaults. This seems wrong. I want
to be able to see the total number of sectors more than edit it. The
default d_secperunit of (sectors/track * tracks/cylinder * cylinders) is
bogus if sectors/track is only an approximation and more bogus if
sectors/track and tracks/cylinder are dummy values such as 4096 and 1
to defeat ufs's pessimizations.
