# 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.

# 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.


# 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.

# 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.


# 263829 27-Mar-2014 marcel

Add scheme_max_secsz() for returning the maximum sector size supported
by the partitioning scheme.


# 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.


# 263672 23-Mar-2014 marcel

Add the fat32 and ebr aliases. The ebr alias is needed to support
the EBR scheme, as it can only live inside a MBR partition of type
5 (= DOSPTYP_EXT).


# 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.


# 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.


# 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).

# 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).
