(treating a target disk as a regular file and suppressing ioctl(2)s)
on reading/writing disklabel in a target file.
This allows cross build enviroment creating bootable disk images
for targets in different endian.
No functional changes to native (non-tools) disklabel(8) command.
Closes PR toolchain/42357.
Info can be specified with -A parameter.
Default is based on how the first partition is defined.
For empty disks larger than 128GB (arbitrary figure) use 1MB alignment.
Rename (with #defines) the variables use for aligning partitions to
separate them from the bios geometry.
All in advance of allowing other partition alignments (eg 2048 sectors).
"marked clean" after however much inactivity; it is *actually* clean
as soon as the component disks all do their thing (on the order of ms,
usually), just the same as before.
The bikeshed is now less of a taupe and more of an ecru.
>> Allow MB, GB and CYL (not just M, G and C) and lower case.
>> Don't output a splurious 'd' before "cyl".
>> Fixes PR/37414.
XXX "NNcy" is also allowed?
Instead, use proper macro defined in Makefile per ${MACHINE_ARCH}.
__${MACHINE_ARCH}__ doesn't represent an architecture of tool's target
but an architecture of binaries being compiled, so required features
are not prolery enabled or unintentionally enabled on certain host
and target combinations during src/tools build.
- Use %.40g rather than %g when printing sectors and MB for existing
partition size/offset.

It just fakes MBR partition map which contains 1MB FAT16B partition
and ~1GB OpenBSD partition, and we can always create necessary
MBR partitions for OpenFirmware by the fdisk(8) command itself.
Drastically reduces the amount of time spent rewriting parity after an
unclean shutdown by keeping better track of which regions might have had
outstanding writes. Enabled by default; can be disabled on a per-set
basis, or tuned, with the new raidctl(8) commands.
Discussed on tech-kern@ to a general air of approval; exhortations to
commit from mrg@, christos@, and others.
Thanks to Google for their sponsorship, oster@ for mentoring the
project, assorted developers for trying very hard to break it, and
probably more I'm forgetting.
