# 284883 27-Jun-2015 marcel

Add the ntfs alias and support it with the MBR and GPT schemes
as DOSPTYP_NTFS and GPT_ENT_TYPE_MS_BASIC_DATA (resp).


# 271881 19-Sep-2014 marcel

Fix partition alignment and image rounding when any of -P (block size),
-T (track size) or -H (number of heads) is given:
o scheme_metadata() always rounded to the block size. This is not
always valid (e.g. vtoc8 that must have partitions start at cylinder
boundaries).
o The bsd and vtoc8 schemes "resized" the image to make it match the
geometry, but since the geometry is an approximation and the size
of the image computed from cylinders * heads * sectors is always
smaller than the original image size, the partition information ran
out of bounds.

The fix is to have scheme_metadata() simply pass it's arguments to the
per-scheme metadata callback, so that schemes not only know where the
metadata is to go, but also what the current block address is. It's now
up to the per-scheme callback to reserve room for metadata and to make
sure alignment and rounding is applied.

The BSD scheme now has the most elaborate alignment and rounding. Just
to make the point: partitions are aligned on block boundaries, but the
image is rounded to the next cyclinder boundary.

vtoc8 now properly has all partitions aligned (and rounded) to the
cyclinder boundary.

# 268236 03-Jul-2014 marcel

Add VHD support to mkimg(1). VHD is used by Xen and Microsoft's Hyper-V
among others.

Add an undocumented option for unit testing (-y). When given, the image
will have UUIDs and timestamps synthesized in a way that gives identical
results across runs. As such, UUIDs stop being unique, globally or
otherwise.

VHD support requested by: gjb@


# 266176 15-May-2014 marcel

MFuser/marcel/mkimg:
Add support for different output formats:
1. The output file that was previously written is now called the raw format.
2. Add the vmdk output format to create VMDK images.

When the format is not given, the raw output format is assumed.


# 265468 06-May-2014 marcel

Add mkimg_write() which combines lseek(2) and write(2) and uses
sector granularity for both offset and length. Have all schemes
use mkimg_write() instead of mkimg_seek() followed by write(2).

Now that schemes don't use lseek(2) nor write(2) directly, it's
easier to support output formats other than raw disks.


# 263926 29-Mar-2014 marcel

Fix build on FreeBSD 7 where:
1. DOSPTYP_FAT32 is not defined in <sys/diskmbr.h>
2. uuid_enc_le() does not exist in libc.


# 263924 29-Mar-2014 marcel

Fix build on FreeBSD 8 where partition types for nandfs do not exist.


# 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.


# 263700 25-Mar-2014 marcel

Allow schemes to specify a maximum sector size. The minimum is fixed
at 512. This allows checking of the sector size up-front when given
on the command line.


# 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.


# 263487 21-Mar-2014 marcel

Add more partition types (mostly just the FreeBSD ones) to GPT.
Avoid having schemes use literal strings by introducing an enum
as the intermediate representation (see geom_part).


# 263466 21-Mar-2014 marcel

Add support for partition labels and write them for GPT.


# 263465 21-Mar-2014 marcel

Make this work on big-endian architectures by adding encoding.


# 263462 21-Mar-2014 marcel

Fix writing GPT:
1. Fix copy-paste bug that resulted in not sizing the image correctly
for the secondary header and table.
2. The hdr_lba_end field in the header is the LBA of the last usable
sector, not the one after it.

While here, fix a white-space nit.


# 263461 21-Mar-2014 marcel

Dump my WIP of write support for GPT. This compiles, appears to be
complete, but isn't accepted by g_part_gpt. Time to debug and fix.


# 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.


# 263440 20-Mar-2014 marcel

Replace *_get_leader() and *_get_trailer() with a single *_metadata().
This single function takes a where argument to indicate the kind of
metadata to "size". This way we can also get rid of the "padding"
field in the scheme structure.
This should make it a little more understandable what's going on.


# 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.
