sade

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

NAME

     sade -- sysadmins disk editor

SYNOPSIS

     sade

DESCRIPTION

     The sade utility is used for various disk administration tasks on FreeBSD systems.

     It is generally invoked without arguments for the default behavior, where the main menu is presented.

NOTES

     The sade utility aims to provide a handy tool for disk management tasks on an already installed system.  The goal is to provide the same text
     interface for disk management in bsdinstall(8) in the post-installation environment.

SEE ALSO

     bsdinstall(8), gpart(8)

HISTORY

     A program called sade first appeared in FreeBSD 6.3 as a utility encapsulating features from the sysinstall(8) installer. It was replaced in
     FreeBSD 10.0 with the equivalent part of bsdinstall(8).

AUTHORS

     Nathan Whitehorn <nwhitehorn@FreeBSD.org>

BUGS

     The utility misses a lot of nice features, such as tools for manipulating gmirror(8).  These will be added later.
