NAME
dkscan_bsdlabel —
program to create
wedges from a BSD disklabel
SYNOPSIS
dkscan_bsdlabel |
[-nv]
device |
DESCRIPTION
dkscan_bsdlabel scans a disk for a BSD disklabel, which does
not need to be the label variant used on the architecture currently running,
or even the same endianess.
The following options are supported:
- -n
- No execution - list the wedges, but do not create
them.
- -v
- Be more verbose - print additional information.
The argument
device specifices the disk on which the
disklabel is scanned and to which the wedges are added.
EXAMPLES
dkscan_bsdlabel
-v wd1
Create wedges from all recognized partitions on wd1
