# 199875 28-Nov-2009 trasz

Provide a set of sysctls and tunables to disable device node creation
for specific "kinds" of disk labels - for example, GPT UUIDs. Reason
for this is that sometimes, other GEOM classes attach to these device
nodes instead of the proper ones - e.g. they attach to /dev/gptid/XXX
instead of /dev/ada0p2, which is annoying.

Remove trailing spaces.


# 161246 12-Aug-2006 pjd

Handle MSDOS file systems properly. Before the change file systems
created on Windows XP (and others maybe) were not detected.
We detected only those created with newfs_msdos(8).

Remove trailing spaces.


# 152971 30-Nov-2005 sobomax

Don't pass error value pointer to g_read_data(9) at all if we don't
have any use of it.

Suggested by: pjd


# 152967 30-Nov-2005 sobomax

Check for g_read_data(9) errors properly:

o The only indication of error condition is NULL value returned by
the function;

o value pointed to by error argument is undefined in the case when
operation completes successfully.

# 131476 02-Jul-2004 pjd

Introduce GEOM_LABEL class.
This class is used for detecting volume labels on file systems:
UFS, MSDOSFS (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32) and ISO9660.
It also provide native labelization (there is no need for file system).

g_label_ufs.c is based on geom_vol_ffs from Gordon Tetlow.
g_label_msdos.c and g_label_iso9660.c are probably hacks, I just found
where volume labels are stored and I use those offsets here,
but with this class it should be easy to do it as it should be done by
someone who know how.
Implementing volume labels detection for other file systems also should
be trivial.

New providers are created in those directories:
/dev/ufs/ (UFS1, UFS2)
/dev/msdosfs/ (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32)
/dev/iso9660/ (ISO9660)
/dev/label/ (native labels, configured with glabel(8))

Manual page cleanups and some comments inside were submitted by
Simon L. Nielsen, who was, as always, very helpful. Thanks!
