MFC r269953:
Use "NO NAME" as the default unnamed label.

Microsoft recommends avoiding the use of spaces in the
string structures for FAT. Unfortunately they do just
that by default in the case of unlabeled filesystems.

Follow the default MS behavior to avoid confusion in
common tools like file(1). This was actually the
default behavior before r203868.

are actually the last-modified time/date.

Globally replace u_int*_t from (non-contributed) man pages.

The reasoning behind this, is that if we are consistent in our
documentation about the uint*_t stuff, people will be less tempted to
write new code that uses the non-standard types.

I am not going to bump the man page dates, as these changes can be
considered style nits. The meaning of the man pages is unaffected.

newfs_msdos: allow to work with media that doesn't have any CHS params

Either use parameters provided by user or make them up.
The code for faking CHS params is borrowed from disklabel code.
The logic for using user-provided and auto-guessed parameters is not
perfect, so to speak.

Fix build - cast off_t to (intmax_t) for printing.


185587 03-Dec-2008 luigi

Some useful operational extensions to newfs_msdos, especially
when preparing images for emulators or flash devices:

+ option '-C size' to create the underlying image file with given size.
Saves doing a 'dd' before, and especially it creates a sparse file

+ option '-@ offset' to build the FAT image at the specified offset
in the image file or device;

+ make the cluster size adaptive on the filesystem size.
Previously the default was 4k which is really unconvenient with
large media; now it goes from 512 bytes to 32k depending on
filesystem size (i still need to check whether it makes sense
to go further up, to 64k or above);

+ fix default geometry when not specified on the command line,
use 63 sectors/255 heads by default.
Also trim the size so it exactly a multiple of a track, to avoid
complaints in some filesystem code.

+ document all the above, plus some manual page clarifications.

MFC after: 4 weeks


185345 26-Nov-2008 luigi

Create a fake geometry (16 heads, 64 sectors) when dealing with
a plain file and a geometry is not explicitly supplied through
command line or disktab entry.

This way you can a FAT image on a file as simply as this:

newfs_msdos ./some/file

(right now you need a much longer command

newfs_msdos -h 32 -u 64 -S 512 -s $total_blocks -o 0 ./some/file

Will be merged after 7.1 and 6.4 are released.

The newfs_msdos utility does not store the boot signature in the
