brooks 9fa168b01a Normalize the g(eom,cache,part,...) build.
Rather then combining hardlink creation for the geom(8) binary with
shared library build, move libraries to src/lib/geom so they are
built and installed normally.  Create a common Makefile.classes
which is included by both lib/geom/Makefile and sbin/geom/Makefile
so the symlink and libraries stay in sync.

The relocation of libraries allows libraries to be build for 32-bit
compat.  This also reduces the number of non-standard builds in
the system.

This commit is not sufficent to run a 32-bit /sbin/geom on a 64-bit
system out of the box as it will look in the wrong place for libraries
unless GEOM_LIBRARY_PATH is set appropriatly in the environment.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility is used for GEOM provider labelization.
A label can be set up on a GEOM provider in two ways:
.Dq manual
or
.Dq automatic .
When using the
.Dq manual
method, no metadata are stored on the devices, so a label has to be configured
by hand every time it is needed.
The
.Dq automatic
method uses on-disk metadata to store the label and detect it automatically in
the future.
.Pp
This GEOM class also provides volume label detection for file systems.
Those labels cannot be set with
.Nm ,
but must be set with the appropriate file system utility, e.g.\& for UFS
the file system label is set with
.Xr tunefs 8 .
Currently supported file systems are:
.Pp
.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
.It
UFS1 volume names (directory
.Pa /dev/ufs/ ) .
.It
UFS2 volume names (directory
.Pa /dev/ufs/ ) .
.It
UFS1 file system IDs (directory
.Pa /dev/ufsid/ ) .
.It
UFS2 file system IDs (directory
.Pa /dev/ufsid/ ) .
.It
MSDOSFS (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32) (directory
.Pa /dev/msdosfs/ ) .
.It
CD ISO9660 (directory
.Pa /dev/iso9660/ ) .
.It
EXT2FS (directory
.Pa /dev/ext2fs/ ) .
.It
REISERFS (directory
.Pa /dev/reiserfs/ ) .
.It
NTFS (directory
.Pa /dev/ntfs/ ) .
.El
.Pp
Support for partition metadata is implemented for:
.Pp
.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
.It
GPT labels (directory
.Pa /dev/gpt/ ) .
.It
GPT UUIDs (directory
.Pa /dev/gptid/ ) .
.El
.Pp
Generic disk ID strings are exported as labels in the format
.Pa /dev/diskid/GEOM_CLASS-ident
e.g.
.Pa /dev/diskid/DISK-6QG3Z026 .
.Pp
Generic labels created and managed solely by
.Xr glabel 8
are created in the
.Pa /dev/label/
directory.
.Pp
Note that for all label types, nested GEOM classes will cause additional
device nodes to be created, with context-specific data appended to their
names. E.g. for every node like
.Pa /dev/label/bigdisk
there will be additional entries for any partitions which the device
contains, like
.Pa /dev/label/bigdiskp1
and
.Pa /dev/label/bigdiskp1a .
.Pp
The first argument to
.Nm
indicates an action to be performed:
.Bl -tag -width ".Cm destroy"
.It Cm create
Create temporary label
.Ar name
for the given provider.
This is the
.Dq manual
method.
The kernel module
.Pa geom_label.ko
will be loaded if it is not loaded already.
.It Cm label
Set up a label
.Ar name
for the given provider.
This is the
.Dq automatic
method, where metadata is stored in a provider's last sector.
The kernel module
.Pa geom_label.ko
will be loaded if it is not loaded already.
.It Cm stop
Turn off the given label by its
.Ar name .
This command does not touch on-disk metadata!
.It Cm destroy
Same as
.Cm stop .
.It Cm clear
Clear metadata on the given devices.
.It Cm dump
Dump metadata stored on the given devices.
.It Cm refresh
Refresh / rediscover metadata from the given devices.
.It Cm list
See
.Xr geom 8 .
.It Cm status
See
.Xr geom 8 .
.It Cm load
See
.Xr geom 8 .
.It Cm unload
See
.Xr geom 8 .
.El
.Pp
Additional options:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl f
Force the removal of the specified labels.
.It Fl v
Be more verbose.
.El
.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
The following
.Xr sysctl 8
variables can be used to control the behavior of the
.Nm LABEL
GEOM class.
The default value is shown next to each variable.
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Va kern.geom.label.debug : No 0
Debug level of the
.Nm LABEL
GEOM class.
This can be set to a number between 0 and 2 inclusive.
If set to 0 minimal debug information is printed, and if set to 2 the
maximum amount of debug information is printed.
.El
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Va kern.geom.label.*.enable : No 1
Most
.Nm LABEL
providers implement a
.Xr sysctl 8
flag and a tunable variable named in the above format. This flag
controls if the label provider will be active, tasting devices
and creating label nodes in the
.Xr devfs 5
tree. It is sometimes desirable to disable certain label types if
they conflict with other classes in complex GEOM topologies.
.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 label for disk
.Dq Li da2 ,
create a file system on it, and mount it:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
glabel label -v usr /dev/da2
newfs /dev/label/usr
mount /dev/label/usr /usr
[...]
umount /usr
glabel stop usr
glabel unload
.Ed
.Pp
The next example shows how to set up a label for a UFS file system:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
tunefs -L data /dev/da4s1a
mount /dev/ufs/data /mnt/data
.Ed
