disklabel is created as per mfs on "swap".
* add -Z option: pre-zero the -F image file before use. this is necessary if
the image is to be used with vnd(4) because by default the files created
with -F have "holes" and vnd doesn't cope with that.
* support 'k', 'm', 'g' suffixes for all options which take numeric arguments.
provide strsuftoi() which performs the parsing mechanism.
* improve man page description of various options
* replace "filesystem" with "file system"
* when displaying usage for mfs, only list mfs options
* minor KNF and WARNS=2 cleanups
- in replacement malloc(), if sbrk(2) returns (void *)-1, convert to NULL
before returning
- in replacement calloc(), check return value of malloc() before zeroing result
Kernels and tools understand both v1 and v2 filesystems; newfs_lfs
generates v2 by default. Changes for the v2 layout include:
- Segments of non-PO2 size and arbitrary block offset, so these can be
matched to convenient physical characteristics of the partition (e.g.,
stripe or track size and offset).
- Address by fragment instead of by disk sector, paving the way for
non-512-byte-sector devices. In theory fragments can be as large
as you like, though in reality they must be smaller than MAXBSIZE in size.
- Use serial number and filesystem identifier to ensure that roll-forward
doesn't get old data and think it's new. Roll-forward is enabled for
v2 filesystems, though not for v1 filesystems by default.
- The inode free list is now a tailq, paving the way for undelete (undelete
is not yet implemented, but can be without further non-backwards-compatible
changes to disk structures).
- Inode atime information is kept in the Ifile, instead of on the inode;
that is, the inode is never written *just* because atime was changed.
Because of this the inodes remain near the file data on the disk, rather
than wandering all over as the disk is read repeatedly. This speeds up
repeated reads by a small but noticeable amount.
Other changes of note include:
- The ifile written by newfs_lfs can now be of arbitrary length, it is no
longer restricted to a single indirect block.
- Fixed an old bug where ctime was changed every time a vnode was created.
I need to look more closely to make sure that the times are only updated
during write(2) and friends, not after-the-fact during a segment write,
and certainly not by the cleaner.
same configuration format that -c and -C use.
this is useful if you're using autoconfig and you've misplaced the

* "filesystem" -> "file system", and other man page cleanups.
Some hosts and gateways ignore record route, but not "many." Of course,
more are firewalled. But that's not what was meant here.
Expand flood-pinging admonition to include multicast addresses.

Reorder BUGS in rough order of significance.
Currently, only Aironet ("an") driver/card can be used.
nwkey persist (IEEE 802.11 devices only) Enable WEP encryption for IEEE
802.11-based wireless network interfaces with the persis-

with the key.
(force) is given. fsck(8) will return with a zero exit status if "fsck -p"
is used in this circumstance, but all other invocations (e.g, "fsck",
"fsck /filesystem", "fsck -p /filesystem") will return with a non-zero exit
status in this circumstance.
Per discussions with various people including Bill Sommerfeld.

for FreeBSD project. Besides huge speed boost compared with socketpair-based
pipes, this implementation also uses pagable kernel memory instead of mbufs.
Significant differences to FreeBSD version:
* uses uvm_loan() facility for direct write
* async/SIGIO handling correct also for sync writer, async reader
* limits settable via sysctl, amountpipekva and nbigpipes available via sysctl
* pipes are unidirectional - this is enforced on file descriptor level
for now only, the code would be updated to take advantage of it
eventually
* uses lockmgr(9)-based locks instead of home brew variant
* scatter-gather write is handled correctly for direct write case, data
is transferred by PIPE_DIRECT_CHUNK bytes maximum, to avoid running out of kva
All FreeBSD/NetBSD specific code is within appropriate #ifdef, in preparation
to feed changes back to FreeBSD tree.
This pipe implementation is optional for now, add 'options NEW_PIPE'
to your kernel config to use it.
