Hi, Does anyone know how I can remove the VTOC from a disk. I'm trying to initialize this disk under VxVM but it won't let me as there is still a VTOC present on the disk. I don't want to encapsulate the disk. I just want to have a raw disk that I can play with. Any ideas? Thanks.

PHP Labeling/Punctuation Syntax Question

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...

write_vtoc

read_vtoc(3EXT) 					    Extended Library Functions						   read_vtoc(3EXT)

NAME

       read_vtoc, write_vtoc - read and write a disk's VTOC

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -ladm [ library ... ]
       #include <sys/vtoc.h>

       int read_vtoc(int fd, struct vtoc *vtoc);

       int write_vtoc(int fd, struct vtoc *vtoc);

DESCRIPTION

       The  read_vtoc()  function  returns the VTOC (volume table of contents) structure that is stored on  the disk associated with the open file
       descriptor fd.

       The write_vtoc() function stores the VTOC structure on the disk associated with the open file descriptor fd.

       The fd argument refers to any slice on a raw disk.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, read_vtoc() returns a positive integer indicating the slice index associated with  the  open  file  descriptor.
       Otherwise, it returns a negative integer indicating one of the following errors:

       VT_EIO	       An I/O error occurred.

       VT_ENOTSUP      This operation is not supported on this disk.

       VT_ERROR        An unknown error occurred.

       Upon successful completion, write_vtoc() returns 0. Otherwise, it returns a negative integer indicating one of the following errors:

       VT_EINVAL       The VTOC contains an incorrect field.

       VT_EIO	       An I/O error occurred.

       VT_ENOTSUP      This operation is not supported on this disk.

       VT_ERROR        An unknown error occurred.

BUGS

       The write_vtoc() function cannot write a  VTOC on an unlabeled disk. Use format(1M) for this purpose.
