- Add optional "geomspec" argument as third argument when configuring a vnode disk. Format is: secsize/secpertrack/trackpercyl/ncylinders, e.g. 512/18/2/80. - Add optional "-t typename" argument, mutually exclusive with "geomspec", that will look up "typename" in /etc/disktab and use the geometry specified in the entry. - Update verbose output accordingly.

|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm vnconfig
|
|
command configures vnode pseudo disk devices.
|
|
It will associate the special file
|
|
.Ar special_file
|
|
with the regular file
|
|
.Ar regular_file
|
|
allowing the latter to be accessed as though it were a disk.
|
|
Hence a regular file within the filesystem can be used for swapping
|
|
or can contain a filesystem that is mounted in the name space.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Options indicate an action to be performed:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Configures the device.
|
|
If successful, references to
|
|
.Ar special_file
|
|
will access the contents of
|
|
.Ar regular_file .
|
|
The
|
|
If
|
|
.Op Ar geomspec
|
|
is specified, the vnode device will emulate the specified disk geometry.
|
|
The format of the
|
|
.Op Ar geomspec
|
|
argument is
|
|
.Dq secsize/nsectors/ntracks/ncylinders .
|
|
If geometry is not specified, the kernel will choose a default based on 1MB
|
|
cylinders.
|
|
.Dq secsize
|
|
is the number of bytes per sector. It must be an even multiple of 512.
|
|
.Dq nsectors
|
|
is the number of sectors per track.
|
|
.Dq ntracks
|
|
is the number of tracks per cylinder.
|
|
.Dq ncylinders
|
|
is the number of cylinders in the device.
|
|
.It Fl t Ar typename
|
|
If configuring the device, look up
|
|
.Ar typename
|
|
in
|
|
.Pa /etc/disktab
|
|
and use the geometry specified in the entry. This option is mutually
|
|
exclusive the
|
|
.Ar geomspec
|
|
argument.
|
|
.It Fl u
|
|
Unconfigures the device.
|

|

Print messages to stdout describing actions taken.
