DKSCAN_BSDLABEL(8) System Manager's Manual DKSCAN_BSDLABEL(8) 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 endianness. 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 SEE ALSO dk(4), disklabel(5), dkctl(8) HISTORY The dkscan_bsdlabel command first appeared in NetBSD 5.0. AUTHORS Martin Huseman wrote the dkscan_bsdlabel utility. It is reusing a lot of kernel code written by Jason R. Thorpe. NetBSD 9.99 February 27, 2007 NetBSD 9.99
