home, 40meg, 80meg, personalize, update, Disclabel - administration for local file systems
SYNOPSIS
gnot/home
gnot/personalize

magnum/home

pc/personalize
pc/update
nextstation/home
nextstation/update
DESCRIPTION
These programs help maintain a file system on a local disk for a private machine.
Home partitions a disk, copies the appropriate kernel to the disk, and makes a new file system on the disk. To do this, it overwrites the
vendor-supplied software on the disk with a copy of Plan 9. 40meg, 80meg, and 100meg configure disks and make file systems for disks of
the appropriate size.
Update copies the current kernel to the disk and updates files on the local file system. It only updates those files put there by the home
program.
Personalize removes the contents of the /usr directory on the local disk and copies a minimal set of files for the user who runs the com-
mand.
The file /rc/bin/nextstation/Disclabel, despite its name, is not an rc(1) script. It contains the second stage bootstrap program for
Nextstations booting from local disk. Before booting a Plan 9 Nextstation from disk, it should be installed in the partition
/dev/hd1label; this is normally done by nexstation/home.
FILES
/lib/proto/portproto
Mkfs prototype files for magnum/home, magnum/update, gnot/home, and gnot/update.
/lib/proto/386proto
Mkfs prototype files for pc/40meg, pc/80meg, and pc/update.

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.
SEE ALSO disklabel(8), dkctl(8), mount_efs(8), sgivol(8)HISTORY
The svhlabel command appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
