401a1d9956 Use stripesize and stripeoffset in the automatic calculation of
partition offsets. If user requests specific alignment and
provider's stripesize is not zero, then use a least common multiple
from the stripesize and user specified value.
Also fix "gpart resize" implementation: do not try to align the partition
size, because the start offset may be not aligned. Instead align the
end offset and then calculate size. Also use stripesize and stripeoffset
for "gpart resize" command.

43b24a4ea4 Some partitioning schemes want to have partitions that are aligned
with geometry. And they do recalculation of user specified parameters.
MBR, PC98, VTOC8, EBR schemes are doing that. For these schemes an
auto alignment feature (ie. gpart add -a alignment) would not work.
But it can work for GPT and BSD schemes. BSD scheme usualy is created
inside MBR, so we can use knowledge about offset of MBR partition to
calculate aligned values for BSD partitions.

Use "offset" attribute of the parent provider for better alignment.

8dab5b0501 MFgraid/head:
Add new RAID GEOM class, that is going to replace ataraid(4) in supporting
various BIOS-based software RAIDs. Unlike ataraid(4) this implementation
does not depend on legacy ata(4) subsystem and can be used with any disk
drivers, including new CAM-based ones (ahci(4), siis(4), mvs(4), ata(4)
with `options ATA_CAM`). To make code more readable and extensible, this
implementation follows modular design, including core part and two sets
of modules, implementing support for different metadata formats and RAID
levels.

Support for such popular metadata formats is now implemented:
Intel, JMicron, NVIDIA, Promise (also used by AMD/ATI) and SiliconImage.

Such RAID levels are now supported:
RAID0, RAID1, RAID1E, RAID10, SINGLE, CONCAT.

For any all of these RAID levels and metadata formats this class supports
full cycle of volume operations: reading, writing, creation, deletion,
disk removal and insertion, rebuilding, dirty shutdown detection
and resynchronization, bad sector recovery, faulty disks tracking,
hot-spare disks. For Intel and Promise formats there is support multiple
volumes per disk set.

Look graid(8) manual page for additional details.

f2e3b4bcd6 Reimplemented "gpart destroy -F". Now it does all work in kernel.
This was needed for recover implementation.

Implement the recover command for GPT. Now GPT will marked as
corrupt when any of three types of corruption will be detected:
1. Damaged primary GPT header or table
2. Damaged secondary GPT header or table
3. Secondary header is not located in the last LBA
Marked GPT becomes read-only. Any changes with corrupt table
are prohibited. Only "destroy" and "recover" commands are allowed.

d5e7511690 Bring in geli suspend/resume functionality (finally).
Before this change if you wanted to suspend your laptop and be sure that your
encryption keys are safe, you had to stop all processes that use file system
stored on encrypted device, unmount the file system and detach geli provider.

This isn't very handy. If you are a lucky user of a laptop where suspend/resume
actually works with FreeBSD (I'm not!) you most likely want to suspend your
laptop, because you don't want to start everything over again when you turn
your laptop back on.

And this is where geli suspend/resume steps in. When you execute:

	# geli suspend -a

geli will wait for all in-flight I/O requests, suspend new I/O requests, remove
all geli sensitive data from the kernel memory (like encryption keys) and will
wait for either 'geli resume' or 'geli detach'.

Now with no keys in memory you can suspend your laptop without stopping any
processes or unmounting any file systems.

When you resume your laptop you have to resume geli devices using 'geli resume'
command. You need to provide your passphrase, etc. again so the keys can be
restored and suspended I/O requests released.

Of course you need to remember that 'geli suspend' won't clear file system
cache and other places where data from your geli-encrypted file system might be
present. But to get rid of those stopping processes and unmounting file system
won't help either - you have to turn your laptop off. Be warned.

Also note, that suspending geli device which contains file system with geli
utility (or anything used by 'geli resume') is not very good idea, as you won't
be able to resume it - when you execute geli(8), the kernel will try to read it
and this read I/O request will be suspended.

Refuse to attach providers where the metadata provider size is
wrong.  This makes post-boot attaches behave consistently with
pre-boot attaches.  Also refuse to restore metadata to a provider
of the wrong size without the new -f switch.  The new -f switch
forces the metadata restoration despite the provider size, and
updates the provider size in the restored metadata to the correct
value.

2972c267be - In gpart_bootfile_read() fix an off-by-one error preventing the bootstrap
file to be of maximum size.
- Add special handling required for SMI/VTOC8 disklabel partcode, i.e. avoid
  overwriting the label when writing the bootstrap code to the partition
  starting at 0 and install it to all partitions when the -i option is omitted
  just like geom_sunlabel(4) and sunlabel(8) do by default.
- Add missing prototypes.
- Add const where applicable.

fa43d14d2c Bring in geom_sched, support for scheduling disk I/O requests
in a device independent manner. Also include an example anticipatory
scheduler, gsched_rr, which gives very nice performance improvements
in presence of competing random access patterns.

This is joint work with Fabio Checconi, developed last year
and presented at BSDCan 2009. You can find details in the
README file or at

93d13fc5c9 Change how multipath labels are created and managed. This makes it easier
to support various storage boxes which really aren't active-active.

We only write the label on the *first* provider. For all other providers
we just "add" the disk. This also allows for an "add" verb.

A usage implication is that you should specificy the currently active
storage path as the first provider.

Note that this does not add RDAC-like functionality, but better allows for
autovolumefailover configurations (additional checkins elsewhere will support
this).

0b756fd13c Increase default block size from 4K to 64K. It was reduces 6 yeard ago,
when trees were big and FAST mode was enabled by default.

So small block size doesn't benefits linear I/O operations in FAST and
significantly slowdowns in ECONOMIC (default) mode. For single stream random
I/Os so small block doesn't give much benefits, as access time is usually
bigger then transfer time there. Same time it requires all heads to seek
together for every single request, reducing performance on parallel load.

9a2663dbad Change gmirror default balance algorithm from "split" to "load".
"split" is very ineffective for devices with rotating media as HDDs.
To be effective, it needs that transfer time reduction due to block
splitting was bigger then access time increase due to non-sequential
access. For modern HDDs I was able to reproduce it only with read sizes
of 2MB and above, which is almost not applicable in real life.
"load" algorithm same time is more universal and effective now.

might do subsequent reads from other providers. This stopped geli (and
  probably other classes using g_metadata_store as well) from being put on top
  of gvinum raid5 volumes.

Note:
The reason it fails in the gvinum raid5 case is that gvinum will read back the
old parity stripe before calculating the new parity stripe to be written out
again.  The write will then fail because the underlying disk to be read is
opened write only.

f9226694db Use humanize_number(), rather than a home-grown algorithm for
formatting a number in a human-friendly way.

Note that with this commit a megabyte changed from 1000000 to
1048576 and a 80G disk is now printed as being 75G in size.
This is deliberate. It's consistent with the core of geom(8).
However, the original choice for a megabyte being 1000000 was
on purpose and matches what disk vendors put on the box. The
consistency is considered more important.

eb18064487 By default backup geli metadata to a file. It is quite critical 512 bytes,
once it is lost, all data is gone.

Option '-B none' can by used to prevent backup. Option '-B path' can be
used to backup metadata to a different file than the default, which is
/var/backups/<prov>.eli.

The 'geli init' command also prints backup file location and gives short
procedure how to restore metadata.

The 'geli setkey' command now warns that even after passphrase change or keys
update there could be version of the master key encrypted with old
keys/passphrase in the backup file.

Add regression tests to verify that new functionality works as expected.

Update other regression tests so they don't create backup files.
