DKSCAN_BSDLABEL(8)      NetBSD System Manager's Manual      DKSCAN_BSDLABEL(8)


NAME

     dkscan_bsdlabel -- program to create wedges from a BSD disklabel


SYNOPSIS

     dkscan_bsdlabel [-nv] device


DESCRIPTION

     dkscan_bsdlabel scans a disk for a BSD disklabel, which does not need to
     be the label variant used on the architecture currently running, or even
     the same endianess.

     The following options are supported:
     -n      No execution - list the wedges, but do not create them.
     -v      Be more verbose - print additional information.
     The argument device specifices the disk on which the disklabel is scanned
     and to which the wedges are added.


EXAMPLES

           dkscan_bsdlabel -v wd1
     Create wedges from all recognized partitions on wd1


SEE ALSO

     dk(4), disklabel(5), dkctl(8)


HISTORY

     The dkscan_bsdlabel command first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.


AUTHORS

     kernel code written by Jason R. Thorpe.
