inquiry - show vendor, product and revision
volname - set 8-character volume name
!<cmd> - execute <cmd>, then return
quit
format> partition

PARTITION MENU:
0 - change `0' partition
1 - change `1' partition
2 - change `2' partition
3 - change `3' partition
4 - change `4' partition
5 - change `5' partition

Current partition table (original):
Total disk sectors available: 1953508749 + 16384 (reserved sectors)

Part Tag Flag First Sector Size Last Sector
0 usr wm 34 4.00GB 8388641
1 usr wm 8388642 2.00GB 12582945
2 usr wm 12582946 200.00GB 432013345
3 usr wm 432013346 175.00GB 799014945
4 usr wm 1166180386 375.43GB 1953508748
5 usr wm 799014946 175.00GB 1166016545
6 usr wm 1166016546 80.00MB 1166180385
8 reserved wm 1953508749 8.00MB 1953525132

partition>

I am unable to specify my own tag name. How can I change the tag name to one of my interest.

I need to create 3 partitions as told below

partitions:

/earth
/mars
/work

/earth and /work should be roughly equal in size, /mars should be twice the size of the others, if that is possible. If not 3 partitions of equal size will do.

Please, help me .

Thank you.

svhlabel

SVHLABEL(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					       SVHLABEL(8)

NAME

     svhlabel -- update disk label from SGI Volume Header

SYNOPSIS

     svhlabel [-fqrw] device

DESCRIPTION

     svhlabel is used to update a NetBSD disk label from the Silicon Graphics Volume Header on disks that were previously used on IRIX systems.

     svhlabel scans the Volume Header contained in the first blocks of the disk and generates additional partition entries for the disk from the
     entries found.

     Each Volume Header entry which does not have an equivalent partition in the disk label (equivalent in having the same size and offset) is
     added to the first free partition slot in the disk label.	A free partition slot is defined as one with an fstype of 'unused' and a size of
     zero ('0').  If there are not enough free slots in the disk label, a warning will be issued.

     The raw partition (typically partition c, but d on i386 and some other platforms) is left alone during this process.

     By default, the proposed changed disk label will be displayed and no disk label update will occur.

     Available options:

     -f  Force an update, even if there has been no change.

     -q  Performs operations in a quiet fashion.

     -r  In conjunction with -w, also update the on-disk label.  You probably do not want to do this.

     -w  Update the in-core label if it has been changed.

     disklabel(8), dkctl(8), mount_efs(8), sgivol(8)

HISTORY

     The svhlabel command appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
