2010-12-03disklabel now uses "duid", not "uid";Jason McIntyre
2010-11-22Update example disk partition info to more current reality. NoticedKenneth R Westerback
by and diff from Roberth via tech@. ok jmc@
2010-07-05improve description for -i; as a consequence of recent changes,Igor Sobrado
OpenBSD MBR partition does not span from sector 1 after MBR partition data is re-initialized. written with lot of good advice from deraadt@ and jmc@ ok deraadt@
2010-07-04make ^D handling consistant in fdisk by just bailing out instead ofAlexander Hall
returning a magic value that is not even handled as such by the caller ok krw@
2010-07-02on error, getuint() will return UINT_MAX. Instead of actually usingAlexander Hall
that value, print an error message and repost the question ok krw@ deraadt@
2010-06-30Make 'fdisk -i' start the OpenBSD partition on a power of 2 512-byteKenneth R Westerback
block boundary. In most modern (i.e. 'faked' geometry) situations this will start it at (0-based) block[64] rather than block[63] as now. This should help performance on disks which really have 4K sectors but report 512-byte sectors. Power of 2 idea from deraadt@. ok toby@ deraadt@
2010-05-25match usage to the manual page, and borrow the description of 'disk'Theo de Raadt
from disklabel(8), since it describes the effect of using opendev()
2010-05-20document the optional arg to "flag", as requested by Thomas Pfaff;Jason McIntyre
this version after some feedback from krw and otto; ok otto krw
2010-05-18dont let sys/ioctl.h imply that you get the ioctls in dkio.h. thisDavid Gwynne
gets rid of #include <sys/dkio.h> in sys/ioctl.h and adds #include <sys/dkio.h> to the places that actually want and use the disk ioctls. this became an issue when krw@'s X build failed when he was testing a change to dkio.h. tested by krw@ help from and ok miod@

requested by miod@; ok miod@ krw@
2010-02-17loongson has mbr as well; ok miod@ (but he made me promise to makeOtto Moerbeek

2009-12-24spelling fixes, from Brad Tilley; we will not fix src/sbin/dump/dump.hIgor Sobrado
as neither arrayified not arrayfied exist -- sanctioned dictionaries like Merriam-Webster ones suggest a few alternatives (e.g., arrayed), however these made up words are easy to understand and we are not certain that current ones are not ok. ok jmc@
2009-07-24properly sanitize the default value in ask_num(...)Alexander Hall
2009-04-29code that stank and made me upsetTheo de Raadt
2009-04-07Fix the default value to be between low/high range. Thanks forTobias Weingartner
frantisek holop pointing out the issue. ok deraadt@
2009-04-01Remove duplicate entry for partition id 0x07 so NTFS partitionsJonathan Gray
will show as NTFS in fdisk output. ok todd@ otto@ deraadt@
2009-03-30some improvements inspired by a mail on misc@ from frantisek holop:Jason McIntyre
- clarify the terms geometry sectors field and start field - change the fdisk prompt from 0 to 1, and explain its meaning - temper CAVEATS: the note is "common practice", not mandatory from nick and myself
2009-03-24two more MBR partition namesTodd T. Fries
ok otto@ beck@
2009-02-08Eliminate excessive verbiage for 'fdisk -i' and 'fdisk -u'. EspeciallyKenneth R Westerback
the multi-line banner announcing that the MBR is being changed. Also the listing of the partition table in 'fdisk -u'. Display a consistant message when the MBR is written. While here cleanup and shrink code without changing any semantics. Started with a diff posted on tech@ by Tobias Ulmer. "I like it" marco@ ok jsing@
2008-12-01Back out previous; it broke specifying paritions sizes with decimals,Ray Lai
e.g. "0.5g".
2008-12-01Check for invalid integers passed getuint(); instead of getuint()Ray Lai
returning an error, just reprompt. If there is an error reading from stdin, use the old (default) value. Shrinks fdisk a few bytes! OK deraadt.

fallout.
2007-04-26lint says: fdisk.c:160: warning: operator '==' found where '=' was expectedTheo de Raadt
yet gcc happily ate it... see, lint is useful
2007-04-26Eliminate CPU_BIOS from userland and wd(4) by always using the BIOSKenneth R Westerback
geometry in the disklabel when there is a BIOS geometry to provide. This removes the option to set a disklabel to 'BIOS' geometry via the 'g b' command in the editor. Makes reported geometry more consistant and moves MD code to MD land where it should be. Doc help from jmc@, Feedback from millert@, marco@, weingart@, kettenis@. ok deraadt@

2007-01-11Move options into DESCRIPTION section. This conforms with mostRay Lai
other man pages, where the options are near the top of the page for easy access. OK jmc@.
2006-12-10Read/write device sectors rather than assuming sector size ==Kenneth R Westerback
DEV_BSIZE. Simply extract/insert the desired MBR from/into the first DEV_BSIZE bytes of the sector. Makes fdisk work with devices having a sector size different from DEV_BSIZE (512 bytes). e.g. 2048 byte sector MP3 devices. Original diff from weingart@. ok pedro@ deraadt@ weingart@
2006-11-19Try DIOCGPDINFO before DIOCGDINFO when trying to determine the 'label'Kenneth R Westerback
geometry for a unit. DIOCGPDINFO avoids using the on-disk label or the cached copy of it and returns a 'spoofed' label that retains the geometry info placed in the label by the driver. Unfortunately DIOCGPDINFO is not universally implemented, though sd and wd do. This is what disklabel(8) does when it wants geometry so this makes fdisk a bit more consistant with disklabel. This fixes 'fdisk -i' and 'reinit' when trying to install from a miniroot on, e.g., landisk. i.e. no need to zero out the disklabel before doing 'fdisk -i'. 'get it in snaps' deraadt@
