Move the documents that are papers to /usr/share/doc/papers.
Give them suitable names (including the author and year).
The key property of papers that distinguishes them from documentation
is that they're historical: they're published at a particular time and
aren't updated or maintained. (Except cosmetically.)
We should only ship papers that are of interest to users, either for
historical perspective or because they're the original research
writeup of stuff that went into the system and is still pertinent.
The ffs papers clearly meet this standard; the other one here (about
passwords, in 1978) is probably past its sell-by date.
Update the <bsd.doc.mk> infrastructure, and update the docs to match
the new infrastructure.
- Build and install text, ps, pdf, and/or html, not roff sources.
- Don't wire the chapter numbers into the build system, or use them in
the installed pathnames. This didn't matter much when the docs were a
museum, but now that we're theoretically going to start maintaining
them again, we're going to add and remove documents periodically and
having the chapter numbers baked in creates a lot of thrashing for no
purpose.
- Specify the document name explicitly, rather than implicitly in a
path. Use this name (instead of other random strings) as the name
of the installed files.
- Specify the document section, which is the subdirectory of
/usr/share/doc to install into.
- Allow multiple subdocuments. (That is, multiple documents in one
output directory.)
- Enumerate the .png files groff emits along with html so they can be
installed.
- Remove assorted hand-rolled rules for running roff and roff widgetry
and add enough variable settings to make these unnecessary. This
includes support for
- explicit use of soelim
- refer
- tbl
- pic
- eqn
- Forcibly apply at least minimal amounts of sanity to certain
autogenerated roff files.
- Don't exclude USD.doc, SMM.doc, and PSD.doc directories from the
build, as they now actually do stuff.
Note: currently we can't generate pdf. This turns out to be a
nontrivial problem with no immediate solution forthcoming. So for now,
as a workaround, install compressed .ps as the printable form.
This would be a problem only when allocating a new data block and the
indir block is already allocated, which explains why automated tests didn't
find it.

to finish the job of distinguishing them from the lfs versions, which
Christos renamed the other day.
I believe this is the last of the overtly ambiguous exported symbols
from ffs... or at least, the last of the ones that conflicted with lfs.
ffs still pollutes the C namespace very broadly (as does ufs) and this
needs quite a bit more cleanup.
XXX: boo on macros with lowercase names. But I'm not tackling that just yet.
MAXDIRSIZE -> UFS_MAXDIRSIZE or LFS_MAXDIRSIZE
NINDIR -> FFS_NINDIR, EXT2_NINDIR, LFS_NINDIR, or MFS_NINDIR
INOPB -> FFS_INOPB, LFS_INOPB
INOPF -> FFS_INOPF, LFS_INOPF
blksize -> ffs_blksize, ext2_blksize, or lfs_blksize
sblksize -> ffs_blksize
These are not the only ambiguously defined filesystem macros, of
course, there's a pile more. I may not have found all the ambiguous
definitions of blksize(), too, as there are a lot of other things
called 'blksize' in the system.
pollution. Specifically:
ROOTINO -> UFS_ROOTINO
WINO -> UFS_WINO
NXADDR -> UFS_NXADDR
NDADDR -> UFS_NDADDR
NIADDR -> UFS_NIADDR
MAXSYMLINKLEN -> UFS_MAXSYMLINKLEN
MAXSYMLINKLEN_UFS[12] -> UFS[12]_MAXSYMLINKLEN (for consistency)
Sort out ext2fs's misuse of NDADDR and NIADDR; fortunately, these have
the same values in ext2fs and ffs.
No functional change intended.
to store disk quota usage and limits, integrated with ffs
metadata. Usage is checked by fsck_ffs (no more quotacheck)
and is covered by the WAPBL journal. Enabled with kernel
option QUOTA2 (added where QUOTA was enabled in kernel config files),
turned on with tunefs(8) on a per-filesystem
basis. mount_mfs(8) can also turn quotas on.

While here modify snap_open() to accept a character device as its
first arg and remove now unneeded get_snap_device().

In particular:
- newfs will not try to erase the label
- fsck_ffs will not try to validate the label
This lets newfs and fsck work on 2048-byte-per-sector media.
Does Apple UFS support such media and how?
kernel refuse to mount a filesystem read-write (booting a system
multiuser with critical filesystems read-only is bad):
Add a check_wapbl() which will check some WAPBL values in the superblock,
and try to read the journal via wapbl_replay_start() if there is one.
pfatal() if one of these fail (abort boot if in preen mode,
as "CONTINUE" otherwise). In non-preen mode the bogus journal will
be cleared.
check_wapbl() is always called if the superblock supports WAPBL.
Even if FS_DOWAPBL is not there, there could be flags asking the
kernel to clear or create a log with bogus values which would cause the
kernel refuse to mount the filesystem.

partutil.c::getdiskinfo to use it to get disk geometry info.
Use DIOCGWEDGEINFO ioctl to get information about partition size, if disk
driver doesn't support it use old DIOCGDINFO. This patch adds support for
wedge like devices(lvm logical volumes, ZFS zvol partitions) to newfs and
other tools.
No objections on tech-userlevel@.
