# 272461 02-Oct-2014 gjb

Copy stable/10@r272459 to releng/10.1 as part of
the 10.1-RELEASE process.

# 212554 13-Sep-2010 pjd

- Remove gc_argname field. It was introduced for gpart(8), but if I
understand everything correctly, we don't really need it.
- Provide default numeric value as strings. This allows to simplify
a lot of code.
- Bump version number.


# 179550 04-Jun-2008 marcel

Replace checks for RESCUE in sources with checks for STATIC_GEOM_CLASSES
and define STATIC_GEOM_CLASSES when building the rescue binary. This way
geom can more easily be part of other crunched binaries, as it requires
only a Makefile change.


# 176852 05-Mar-2008 delphij

Make it possible to build glabel into rescue geom(8) utility.

# 169586 15-May-2007 marcel

Add gpart(8).

In order to support gpart(8), geom(8) needs to support a named
argument. Also, optional string parameters are a requirement.
Both have been added to the infrastructure. The former required
all existing classes to be adjusted.


# 162868 30-Sep-2006 pjd

MFp4: G_TYPE_BOOL sounds much better than G_TYPE_NONE.

Changes: 98722


# 155175 01-Feb-2006 pjd

Remove trailing spaces.


# 153190 06-Dec-2005 pjd

- The geom(8) utility only uses three types of arguments: string (char *),
value (intmax_t) and boolean (int).
Based on that provide three functions:
- gctl_get_ascii()
- gctl_get_int()
- gctl_get_intmax()
- Hide gctl_get_param() function, as it is only used internally in
subr.c.
- Allow to provide argument name as (fmt, ...).
- Assert geom(8) bugs (missing argument is a geom(8) bug).

- Clean-up and simplify the code by using new functions and assumtions
(no more checking for missing argument).

Tested by: regression tests


# 143586 14-Mar-2005 pjd

Define subcommands' usage inside g_command structure.

# 142727 27-Feb-2005 pjd

- Add md_provsize field to metadata, which will help with
shared-last-sector problem.
After this change, even if there is more than one provider with the same
last sector, the proper one will be chosen based on its size.
It still doesn't fix the 'c' partition problem (when da0s1 can be confused
with da0s1c) and situation when 'a' partition starts at offset 0
(then da0s1a can be confused with da0s1 and da0s1c). One can use '-h'
option there, when creating device or avoid sharing last sector.
Actually, when providers share the same last sector and their size is equal,
they provide exactly the same data, so the name (da0s1, da0s1a, da0s1c)
isn't important at all.
- Provide backward compatibility.
- Update copyright's year.

# 132344 18-Jul-2004 pjd

MFp4: Add 'dump' command to gconcat(8), glabel(8) and gstripe(8) which allow
to dump metadata from given components.


# 131649 05-Jul-2004 pjd

- Add 'stop' command, which works just like 'destroy' command, but sounds
less dangerous.
- Update manual pages and extend examples.
- Bump versions.


# 131476 02-Jul-2004 pjd

Introduce GEOM_LABEL class.
This class is used for detecting volume labels on file systems:
UFS, MSDOSFS (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32) and ISO9660.
It also provide native labelization (there is no need for file system).

g_label_ufs.c is based on geom_vol_ffs from Gordon Tetlow.
g_label_msdos.c and g_label_iso9660.c are probably hacks, I just found
where volume labels are stored and I use those offsets here,
but with this class it should be easy to do it as it should be done by
someone who know how.
Implementing volume labels detection for other file systems also should
be trivial.

New providers are created in those directories:
/dev/ufs/ (UFS1, UFS2)
/dev/msdosfs/ (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32)
/dev/iso9660/ (ISO9660)
/dev/label/ (native labels, configured with glabel(8))

Manual page cleanups and some comments inside were submitted by
Simon L. Nielsen, who was, as always, very helpful. Thanks!
