expression howmany(BBSIZE, PAGE_SIZE), where BBSIZE is the size of the boot block area. That can be less than 2 if PAGE_SIZE is big. swapon(8) has an option to trim (delete) all the blocks of a device at startup. However, if the first of those blocks is a bsd label, then trimming those blocks is destructive. Change swapon to leave the first BBSIZE bytes untrimmed. Update manual pages to reflect changes in how swapon and how it may be used, espeically in association with savecore.

.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm fstab
|
|
.Nd static information about the file systems
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In fstab.h
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The file
|
|
.Nm
|
|
contains descriptive information about the various file
|
|
systems.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is only read by programs, and not written;
|
|
it is the duty of the system administrator to properly create
|
|
and maintain this file.
|
|
Each file system is described on a separate line;
|
|
fields on each line are separated by tabs or spaces.
|
|
The order of records in
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is important because
|
|
.Xr fsck 8 ,
|
|
.Xr mount 8 ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr umount 8
|
|
sequentially iterate through
|
|
.Nm
|
|
doing their thing.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The first field,
|
|
.Pq Fa fs_spec ,
|
|
describes the special device or
|
|
remote file system to be mounted.
|
|
The contents are decoded by the
|
|
.Xr strunvis 3
|
|
function.
|
|
This allows using spaces or tabs in the device name which would be
|
|
interpreted as field separators otherwise.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The second field,
|
|
.Pq Fa fs_file ,
|
|
describes the mount point for the file system.
|
|
For swap partitions, this field should be specified as
|
|
.Dq none .
|
|
The contents are decoded by the
|
|
.Xr strunvis 3
|
|
function, as above.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The third field,
|
|
.Pq Fa fs_vfstype ,
|
|
describes the type of the file system.
|
|
The system can support various file system types.
|
|
Only the root, /usr, and /tmp file systems need be statically
|
|
compiled into the kernel;
|
|
everything else will be automatically loaded at mount
|
|
time.
|
|
(Exception: the FFS cannot currently be demand-loaded.)
|
|
Some people still prefer to statically
|
|
compile other file systems as well.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The fourth field,
|
|
.Pq Fa fs_mntops ,
|
|
describes the mount options associated with the file system.
|
|
It is formatted as a comma separated list of options.
|
|
It contains at least the type of mount (see
|
|
.Fa fs_type
|
|
below) plus any additional options appropriate to the file system type.
|
|
See the options flag
|
|
.Pq Fl o
|
|
in the
|
|
.Xr mount 8
|
|
page and the file system specific page, such as
|
|
.Xr mount_nfs 8 ,
|
|
for additional options that may be specified.
|
|
All options that can be given to the file system specific mount commands
|
|
can be used in
|
|
.Nm
|
|
as well.
|
|
They just need to be formatted a bit differently.
|
|
The arguments of the
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
option can be used without the preceding
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
flag.
|
|
Other options need both the file system specific flag and its argument,
|
|
separated by an equal sign.
|
|
For example, mounting an
|
|
.Xr msdosfs 5
|
|
filesystem, the options
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
-o sync -o noatime -m 644 -M 755 -u foo -g bar
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
should be written as
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
sync,noatime,-m=644,-M=755,-u=foo,-g=bar
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
in the option field of
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the options
|
|
.Dq userquota
|
|
and/or
|
|
.Dq groupquota
|
|
are specified,
|
|
the file system is automatically processed by the
|
|
.Xr quotacheck 8
|
|
command, and user and/or group disk quotas are enabled with
|
|
.Xr quotaon 8 .
|
|
By default,
|
|
file system quotas are maintained in files named
|
|
.Pa quota.user
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa quota.group
|
|
which are located at the root of the associated file system.
|
|
These defaults may be overridden by putting an equal sign
|
|
and an alternative absolute pathname following the quota option.
|
|
Thus, if the user quota file for
|
|
.Pa /tmp
|
|
is stored in
|
|
.Pa /var/quotas/tmp.user ,
|
|
this location can be specified as:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
userquota=/var/quotas/tmp.user
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the option
|
|
.Dq failok
|
|
is specified,
|
|
the system will ignore any error which happens during the mount of that filesystem,
|
|
which would otherwise cause the system to drop into single user mode.
|
|
This option is implemented by the
|
|
.Xr mount 8
|
|
command and will not be passed to the kernel.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the option
|
|
.Dq noauto
|
|
is specified, the file system will not be automatically
|
|
mounted at system startup.
|
|
Note that, for network file systems
|
|
of third party types
|
|
(i.e., types supported by additional software
|
|
not included in the base system)
|
|
to be automatically mounted at system startup,
|
|
the
|
|
.Va extra_netfs_types
|
|
.Xr rc.conf 5
|
|
variable must be used to extend the
|
|
.Xr rc 8
|
|
startup script's list of network file system types.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the option
|
|
.Dq late
|
|
is specified, the file system will be automatically mounted
|
|
at a stage of system startup after remote mount points are mounted.
|
|
For more detail about this option,
|
|
see the
|
|
.Xr mount 8
|
|
manual page.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the option
|
|
.Dq update
|
|
is specified, it indicates that the status of an already mounted file
|
|
system should be changed accordingly.
|
|
This allows, for example, file systems mounted read-only to be upgraded
|
|
read-write and vice-versa.
|
|
By default, an entry corresponding to a file systems that is already
|
|
mounted is going to be skipped over when processing
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
unless it's a root file system, in which case logic similar to
|
|
.Dq update
|
|
is applied automatically.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq update
|
|
option is typically used in conjuction with two
|
|
.Nm
|
|
files.
|
|
The first
|
|
.Nm
|
|
file is used to set up the initial set of file systems.
|
|
The second
|
|
.Nm
|
|
file is then run to update the initial set of file systems and
|
|
to add additional file systems.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The type of the mount is extracted from the
|
|
.Fa fs_mntops
|
|
field and stored separately in the
|
|
.Fa fs_type
|
|
field (it is not deleted from the
|
|
.Fa fs_mntops
|
|
field).
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa fs_type
|
|
is
|
|
.Dq rw
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq ro
|
|
then the file system whose name is given in the
|
|
.Fa fs_file
|
|
field is normally mounted read-write or read-only on the
|
|
specified special file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa fs_type
|
|
is
|
|
.Dq sw
|
|
then the special file is made available as a piece of swap
|
|
space by the
|
|
.Xr swapon 8
|
|
command at the end of the system reboot procedure.
|
|
For swap devices, the keyword
|
|
.Dq trimonce
|
|
triggers the delivery of a
|
|
.Dv BIO_DELETE
|
|
command to the device.
|
|
This command marks the device's blocks as unused, except those that
|
|
might store a disk label.
|
|
This marking can erase a crash dump.
|
|
To delay
|
|
.Nm swapon
|
|
for a device until after
|
|
.Nm savecore
|
|
has copied the crash dump to another location, use the
|
|
.Dq late
|
|
option.
|
|
For vnode-backed swap spaces,
|
|
.Dq file
|
|
is supported in the
|
|
.Fa fs_mntops
|
|
field.
|
|
When
|
|
.Fa fs_spec
|
|
is an
|
|
.Xr md 4
|
|
device file
|
|
.Pq Do md Dc or Do md[0-9]* Dc
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq file
|
|
is specified in
|
|
.Fa fs_mntopts ,
|
|
an
|
|
.Xr md 4
|
|
device is created with the specified file used as backing store,
|
|
and then the new device is used as swap space.
|
|
Swap entries on
|
|
.Pa .eli
|
|
devices will cause automatic creation of encrypted devices.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq ealgo ,
|
|
.Dq aalgo ,
|
|
.Dq keylen ,
|
|
.Dq notrim ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq sectorsize
|
|
options may be passed to control those
|
|
.Xr geli 8
|
|
parameters.
|
|
The fields other than
|
|
.Fa fs_spec
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa fs_type
|
|
are unused.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa fs_type
|
|
is specified as
|
|
.Dq xx
|
|
the entry is ignored.
|
|
This is useful to show disk partitions which are currently unused.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The fifth field,
|
|
.Pq Fa fs_freq ,
|
|
is used for these file systems by the
|
|
.Xr dump 8
|
|
command to determine which file systems need to be dumped.
|
|
If the fifth field is not present, a value of zero is returned and
|
|
.Nm dump
|
|
will assume that the file system does not need to be dumped.
|
|
If the fifth field is greater than 0, then it specifies the number of days
|
|
between dumps for this file system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The sixth field,
|
|
.Pq Fa fs_passno ,
|
|
is used by the
|
|
.Xr fsck 8
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr quotacheck 8
|
|
programs to determine the order in which file system and quota
|
|
checks are done at reboot time.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa fs_passno
|
|
field can be any value between 0 and
|
|
.Ql INT_MAX Ns -1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The root file system should be specified with a
|
|
.Fa fs_passno
|
|
of 1, and other file systems should have a
|
|
.Fa fs_passno
|
|
of 2 or greater.
|
|
A file system with a
|
|
.Fa fs_passno
|
|
value of 1 is always checked sequentially and be completed before
|
|
another file system is processed, and it will be processed before
|
|
all file systems with a larger
|
|
.Fa fs_passno .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For any given value of
|
|
.Fa fs_passno ,
|
|
file systems within a drive will be checked sequentially,
|
|
but file systems on different drives will be checked at the
|
|
same time to utilize parallelism available in the hardware.
|
|
Once all file system checks are complete for the current
|
|
.Fa fs_passno ,
|
|
the same process will start over for the next
|
|
.Fa fs_passno .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the sixth field is not present or is zero,
|
|
a value of zero is returned and
|
|
.Xr fsck 8
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr quotacheck 8
|
|
will assume that the file system does not need to be checked.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa fs_passno
|
|
field can be used to implement finer control when
|
|
the system utilities may determine that the file system resides
|
|
on a different physical device, when it actually does not, as with a
|
|
.Xr ccd 4
|
|
device.
|
|
All file systems with a lower
|
|
.Fa fs_passno
|
|
value will be completed before starting on file systems with a
|
|
higher
|
|
.Fa fs_passno
|
|
value.
|
|
E.g. all file systems with a
|
|
.Fa fs_passno
|
|
of 2 will be completed before any file systems with a
|
|
.Fa fs_passno
|
|
of 3 or greater are started.
|
|
Gaps are allowed between the different
|
|
.Fa fs_passno
|
|
values.
|
|
E.g. file systems listed in
|
|
.Pa /etc/fstab
|
|
may have
|
|
.Fa fs_passno
|
|
values such as 0, 1, 2, 15, 100, 200, 300, and may appear in any order
