* MFC r287396:trasz2016-01-111-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | It's 2015, and some people are still trying to use fdisk and then go asking what debug flags to set for GEOM to make it work. Advice them to use gpart(8) instead. Something similar should probably done with disklabel, but I need to rewrite the disklabel examples first. Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation

* Globally replace u_int*_t from (non-contributed) man pages.ed2012-02-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | The reasoning behind this, is that if we are consistent in our documentation about the uint*_t stuff, people will be less tempted to write new code that uses the non-standard types. I am not going to bump the man page dates, as these changes can be considered style nits. The meaning of the man pages is unaffected. MFC after: 1 month

| | | | | | | | | | | 0xffffffff sectors. Document this limit and avoid installing bogus labels on disks with more sectors.

| | | | | | | | | Hide all the historical fields of the label, unless people ask for them with -A, set them to intelligently chosen defaults otherwise. Distill the manual page to remove inaccuracies, misundertandings and obsolete information. It can probably still be done better but now at least it is not misinforming people.

* Give this manpage a good overhaul, including the markup.ru2003-03-151-327/+398
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Notable changes: - Removed the "disktype" argument from the -B only synopsis form. This form doesn't touch the disk label, and doesn't use this argument. - Fixed the first example in the EXAMPLES section. Support for compatibility slices has been recently dropped from the GEOM kernels, and a bit later GEOM became standard. - Removed the buggy notion from rev. 1.37 that disklabel(8) may be used to define mount points; it cannot. Improve some DOS partition / FreeBSD slice wording. Among these, ``dangerously-dedicated slice'' was just a nonsense. ;-)

* Retire the "-N" and "-W" options which implemented write-protectionphk2003-01-261-24/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | for the disklabel: This facility is OBE. First of all, we cannot sensibly implement this in a properly stacked environment. Second, if we did, it would confuse the heck out of users who wouldn't be able to "start from scratch" by dd(8)'ing /dev/zero onto /dev/da0. Third, the offered protection is not comprehensive: no other software would respect it. Fourth and finally, the disklabel is already protected against tampering if it controls open partitions. Uselessness of these options discussed with: peter

* In the words of the submitter:dd2002-01-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | disklabel(8)'s "Reading the disk label" section starts out "To examine or save the label on a disk drive,...". This is confusing. The given command (disklabel [-r] disk) doesn't save anything (except to standard out, but that should go without saying). It reads as if the command might save something on the disk drive.
