* The MBR uses a 32-bit unsigned integer to store the size of a slice, butrstone2011-07-171-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fdisk(1) internally uses a signed int. Should a user attempt to specify a slice containing more than 2^31 - 1 sectors, an error will be reported on systems with sizeof(long) == 4 and the slice size will be silently truncated on systems with sizeof(long) > 4. Instead use an unsigned long to store the slice size in fdisk(1). This allows the user to specify a slice size up to the maximum permitted by the MBR on-disk format and does not have any problems with silent truncation should the use specify an slice size larger than 2^32 on systems with sizeof(long) > 4.

| | | | | | | | | | replace the table of partition with a simpler and faster array of strings. The change in the array is done mechanically, using vi commands. Most entries in the table are probably 15+ years old and largely outdated, so the next step is to remove stale entries with more current values.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | + Remove a dead field of a struct. It serves no purpose anymore. + Remove a \n at the end of the format string of err(); the err() function already adds a \n ; + remove many unnecessary casts which obfuscate the code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sector size, instead of later failing with an error about /boot/mbr not being a multiple of the sector size (since we end up with an assumed sector size of MAX_SEC_SIZE * 2). - We query the sector size via an IOCTL anyway, so if that succeeds use that instead of probing for it via read(2) calls. This fixes the problem with fdisk failing to operate on at least graid3 and md(4) devices on kernels with src/sys/geom/geom_dev.c before rev. 1.90, due to fdisk failing to detect the sector size. - When detecting the root device allow "/" characters in it, which happens with e.g. gmirror devices.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Always set the magic sequence when we write, rather than trusting the previously read boot code to do so. Use explicit encoding/decoding of little endian disk image. Remove a comment which was OBE. Change the test vector for "fdisk -I" to reflect that there is a magic sequence in the result now. Add test case for "fdisk" which reads the image back. At least for the two test-cases this program now gives the same result on sparc64 as on i386. The lack of an installed /boot/mbr on sparc64 raises an (un)interesting question.
