MFC 279125, 279126, 279128, 279139:
Add the -c option for specifying the capacity of the disk image.
Bump the version to 20150222.


# 272776 08-Oct-2014 marcel

MFC r272485: Fill cyclinder, head and sector fields for the EBR,
MBR and PC98 schemes.

Requested by: gjb


# 272774 08-Oct-2014 marcel

MFC 272198, 272217:
Add 3 long options (--version, --formats & --schemes) for getting
information about mkimg itself.

Requested by: gjb

Relnotes: yes


# 271967 22-Sep-2014 marcel

MFC 271482: Add support for adding empty partition entries.

Relnotes: yes
Approved by: re@ (gjb)


# 269177 28-Jul-2014 marcel

MFC r268236,268264,268524,268646,268802,269021:
This brings VHD support to mkimg(1); both dynamic and fixed file formats.
Dynamic VHD and VMDK file images are now sparsely written, meaning that
"free" sectors do not occupy space.

Relnotes: yes

MFC mkimg(1) -- revisions 268159, 268134, 266556, 266514, 266513,
266512, 266511, 266510, 266509, 266176, 265468, 265467,

Revision 267182 changed mkimg.1 alongside other unrelated manpages.
The change to mkimg.1 has been applied without registering a merge
of the revision. This allows a future merge of r267182 to happen.

Relnotes: yes


# 263918 29-Mar-2014 marcel

Add mkimg, a utility for making disk images from raw partition contents.
The partitioning scheme can be one of the schemes supported by gpart.

# 263897 29-Mar-2014 marcel

Make this build on ia64 w/ gcc.


# 263864 28-Mar-2014 marcel

Use :- and not :! for pipes. ! needs to be escaped, which adds to the
hassle.


# 263862 28-Mar-2014 marcel

Write verbosity to stderr. The image may be written to stdout.
While here, fix writing to stderr, by not calling errc()
unconditionally, but only when there's an error.


# 263857 28-Mar-2014 marcel

Write sparse files by default (when SPARSE_FILE is defined).
While here, detect errors when writing to stdout.


# 263850 27-Mar-2014 marcel

Remove the -z flag. Let's just write a sparse file whenever we can.


# 263844 27-Mar-2014 marcel

1. When calculating block addresses, round to the physical block
size.
2. Replace scheme_first_block() & scheme_next_block() with
scheme_metadata(). When we round to block sizes, we can't
reliably fixup any miscalculations.
3. In scheme_write, calculate ncyls (number of cyclinders), based
on the total size, sectors/track and number of heads.
4. Add verbosity when constructing the partitions. This includes
the starting block address and size in bytes and blocks.
5. Add verbosity about the sectors/track and number of heads.


# 263831 27-Mar-2014 marcel

1. Add -v option to increase vebosity levels
2. Fix copy-paste bug -- acrually check secsz for being a power of 2
3. Check secsz and blksz parameters
4. Print the sector and block size when -v is given


# 263709 25-Mar-2014 marcel

First batch of media control:
1. Change -h to -H and change -t to -T. Use -H to specify the number of
heads and -T to specify the track size (number of sectors per track).
2. Add -S and -P. Use -S to specify the logical sector size and -P to
specify the physical sector size.

Default to 512 for both the logical and physical sector size.
Set nheads and nsecs to 1 by default.


# 263653 23-Mar-2014 marcel

Revamp:
1. Make secsz globally visible.
2. Have all code use the global secsz and nparts, rather than passing
them around.
3. Introduce lba_t as the type to use when talking about block addresses.
4. Work on LBAs instead of offsets. There's just too much division with
the sector size and there's really no value to use by offsets other
than that is what lseek() wants. For that we now have mkimg_seek().

The bigger picture is that geometry (cylinders, heads, sectors/track) and
also a possible physical sector size are to be globals that can be used
from anyway. We really don't want to pass all that stuff as arguments to
functions and then add __unused for most of them...


# 263537 21-Mar-2014 marcel

Handle the -b option for specifying boot code that lives in the
partitioning scheme's meta data. Implement it for GPT.


# 263467 21-Mar-2014 marcel

Update usage for label support.


# 263466 21-Mar-2014 marcel

Add support for partition labels and write them for GPT.


# 263442 20-Mar-2014 marcel

Add a scheme-specific write callback to write the metadata.
While here:
1. Move FreeBSD-specific headers to a more centralized place, so that
it's easier to port mkimg.
2. Remove inclusion of <uuid.h> where we don't need it (copy-pasted).
3. Check the partition data given on the command line before we do any
I/O.
4. Add scheme_round() for rounding the partition size.
5. Have scheme_write call the scheme-specific write callback and have
it propagate errors back to the caller.


# 263414 20-Mar-2014 marcel

Check the partition type alias as defined by the scheme.


# 263409 20-Mar-2014 marcel

Use linker sets to provide build-time selection of the schemes
that need to be supported. Each scheme provides data and callbacks
for handling the scheme-specifics.
To this end, put each scheme in its own source file.


# 263383 19-Mar-2014 marcel

Expand usage(). This serves even now as a good reminder.


# 263382 19-Mar-2014 marcel

Add mkimg.h. It contains the 'part' structure definition and the linked
list (STAILQ) so that it can be shared and re-used in all source files.
Replace the now unneeded scheme_add_part() with scheme_check_part() for
posterity.

Also (should have been a separate commit), remove the enforcement of
creating a GPT table with at least 128 entries. While this is generally
advised as the default or minimum, it's not actually a hard requirement.
We now recreate a table that's precisely enough (rounded of course).

WHile


# 253923 04-Aug-2013 marcel

Safe WIP: mkimg is a user-space utility for creating disk images.
In its current form and shape, it creates images with the correct
partition contents and overall image layout. What it doesn't do
yet is actually scribble the metadata, such as partition tables
and boot code. This is where I'd like to leverage code from other
places, such as geom_part, and if possible/feasible.
Also, the utility should be a little bit smarter about files and
pipes so that we create temporary files only when needed (e.g.
when we don't know the size of a partition's contents in advance
while wrting the image to stdout).
