* Change the defaults for newfs to disregard the geometry in the disklabel.phk1995-02-051-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We pretend we have one head with two megabyte worth of sectors per cylinder. The code try to access another head in what it belives to the same physical cylinder, because it belives that it would be faster than waiting for the next free sector under this head to come around. Most modern drives doesn't have a "classical" geometry, and thus we end up fooling ourselves doing the above optimization. With this change we will fill a cylinder sequentially if we can, and thus get much more mileage from the track-buffer/cache built into the drives. As a result a lot of seeks to the next or previous track should be avoided by this. (My disk is a lot less noisy actually...) You can still get the old behaviour, by specifying zero for the numbers. This will also solve the problem with newfs barfing at really big drives. Obtained from: adult advice from Kirk.
* Added '-F file' option of mount_mfs. This allows me to make floppy imagesphk1994-10-121-2/+12

* Backed out part of the last change that prevents the rpos table fromdg1994-10-091-1/+1
| | | | | | being output if <= 1 rpos; there is a bug in the kernel which doesn't quite get along with this. Changed default #rpos to 1, and fixed up manual page. Converted nrpos to 1 if user specifies 0.
* Fixed manpage to conform to current reality.dg1994-10-011-1/+4
