NAME
svhlabel —
update disk label from SGI
Volume Header
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
svhlabel is used to update a
NetBSD
disk label from the Silicon Graphics Volume Header on disks that were
previously used on IRIX systems.
svhlabel scans the Volume Header contained in the first blocks
of the disk and generates additional partition entries for the disk from the
entries found.
Each Volume Header entry which does not have an equivalent partition in the disk
label (equivalent in having the same size and offset) is added to the first
free partition slot in the disk label. A free partition slot is defined as one
with an
fstype
of
‘
unused
’ and a
size
of zero (‘0’). If there are not
enough free slots in the disk label, a warning will be issued.
The raw partition (typically partition
c, but
d on i386 and some other platforms) is left alone during
this process.
By default, the proposed changed disk label will be displayed and no disk label
update will occur.
Available options:
-
-
- -f
- Force an update, even if there has been no change.
-
-
- -q
- Performs operations in a quiet fashion.
-
-
- -r
- In conjunction with -w, also update the
on-disk label. You probably do not want to do this.
-
-
- -w
- Update the in-core label if it has been changed.
