Subject: Disklabels arrive for 2.11BSD (#256 part 7 of 18) Index: sys,bin,usr.lib,(many more)/ 2.11BSD Description: The moving the partitions tables out of the disk drivers and to a disklabel residing on the media has been on the wish list for many many years. Disklabels have finally arrived for 2.11BSD! Repeat-By: Observation. Also a reading of the setup and installation documentation for previous 2BSD releases (2.9, 2.10, 2.11) all have a paragraph similar to this present: "It is possible to change the partitions by changing the code for the table in the disk driver. Since it's desirable to do this, these tables really should be read off each pack...." Fix: This is part 7 of 18. Gather all parts before doing anything except reading the instructions which are in #250 (part 1). Updated by this part are: /usr/include/disktab.h /usr/src/include/disktab.h These files are removed from the system. They have been replaced with /usr/sys/h/disklabel.h. You may either remove the two 'disktab.h' files manually or go thru the effort of running the script included below. If you wish to run the script (which consists of two 'rm' commands) then cut where indicated and save to a file (/tmp/256). Then type "sh /tmp/256; rm /tmp/256". ------------------------cut here-------------------- #! /bin/sh mv /usr/include/disktab.h /usr/include/disktab.h~ mv /usr/src/include/disktab.h /usr/src/include/disktab.h~
