Here is a script for automatic labeling of previously unlabeled disks.
Other methods exist (format -f cmd_file), but I like this because it's all in one place.
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
#----------------------
# format_label
# Automatic labeling of previously unlabeled disks
# 2006.08.31 ken.wachtler
#----------------------
# Enter a list of disks, as format's banner would report them

Hi,
I have been working on this problem, but could only get so far. I have a file that looks like this
(cat,chimp,(((dog,cat,cow),orangutan),((horse,((cat,dog),(cow,pig))),cat,mouse,rat)));
I would like after each instance of the word 'cat' to have an incrementing numerical label.

Greetings!
My first PHP question; and, no doubt, a "no-brainer" for the initiated :)
The question centers around the proper syntax for input field labeling. The snippet which puzzles me (and the candidate which I wish to modify) goes like this:<?php _e('Hello World'); ?>:<br />What I'd like... (0 Replies)

diskscan
diskscan(1M) System Administration Commands diskscan(1M)NAME
diskscan - perform surface analysis
SYNOPSIS
diskscan [-W] [-n] [-y] raw_device
DESCRIPTION
diskscan is used by the system administrator to perform surface analysis on a portion of a hard disk. The disk portion may be a raw parti-
tion or slice; it is identified using its raw device name. By default, the specified portion of the disk is read (non-destructive) and
errors reported on standard error. In addition, a progress report is printed on standard out. The list of bad blocks should be saved in a
file and later fed into addbadsec(1M), which will remap them.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-n Causes diskscan to suppress linefeeds when printing progress information on standard out.
-W Causes diskscan to perform write and read surface analysis. This type of surface analysis is destructive and should be invoked
with caution.
-y Causes diskscan to suppress the warning regarding destruction of existing data that is issued when -W is used.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
raw_device The address of the disk drive (see FILES).
FILES
The raw device should be /dev/rdsk/c?[t?]d?[ps]?. See disks(1M) for an explanation of SCSI and IDE device naming conventions.
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

SEE ALSO addbadsec(1M), disks(1M), fdisk(1M), fmthard(1M), format(1M), attributes(5)NOTES
The format(1M) utility is available to format, label, analyze, and repair SCSI disks. This utility is included with the diskscan, addbad-
sec(1M), fdisk(1M), and fmthard(1M) commands available for x86. To format an IDE disk, use the DOS format utility; however, to label, ana-
lyze, or repair IDE disks on x86 systems, use the Solaris format(1M) utility.
