Xmark(1) General Commands Manual Xmark(1)NAME
Xmark - summarize x11perf results
SYNTAX
Xmark datafile
DESCRIPTION
Xmark is a shell script that reads the indicated datafile and compiles a benchmark which it writes to standard output. It writes three
numbers:
A weighted performance number for the x11perf results.
A weighted performance number for a standard SparcStation 1, with SunOS 4.1.2, X11R5 Xsun, and a CG3 dumb Color Frame Buffer.
The Xmark, which is the ratio of the two numbers above.
The datafile must be an ordinary file, produced by x11perf in the following way:
x11perf -display display -v1.3 -rop GXcopy GXxor -all > datafile
It is possible to run the GXcopy and GXxor tests separately, as long as they are concatenated to the same output file:
x11perf -display display -v1.3 -rop GXcopy -all > datafile
x11perf -display display -v1.3 -rop GXxor -all >> datafile
or
x11perf -display display -v1.3 -rop GXxor -all > datafile
x11perf -display display -v1.3 -rop GXcopy -all >> datafile
FILES
temp.$$
Temporary file created in the current directory, deleted after use.
DIAGNOSTICS
Usage: Xmark datafile
Xmark was invoked without arguments or with more than one argument, or with options. Xmark takes no options.
Error: data file does not exist or is not ordinary.
Xmark cannot find the datafile named on its command line, or the datafile is a special file such as a directory.
WARNING: datafile contains nnn, not 441 or 447 'trep' results;
The file named on the command line does not seem to be a file generated by x11perf in the expected way.
Diagnostic: ERROR: sum of weights =nnn, not equal to 4566.0;
There is an internal error in Xmark.

fmthard(1M) System Administration Commands fmthard(1M)NAME
fmthard - populate label on hard disks
SYNOPSIS
SPARC
fmthard -d data | -n volume_name | -s datafile [-i] /dev/rdsk/c?
[t?] d?s2
x86
fmthard -d data | -n volume_name | -s datafile [-i] /dev/rdsk/c?
[t?] d?s2
DESCRIPTION
The fmthard command updates the VTOC (Volume Table of Contents) on hard disks and, on x86 systems, adds boot information to the Solaris
fdisk partition. One or more of the options -s datafile, -d data, or -n volume_name must be used to request modifications to the disk
label. To print disk label contents, see prtvtoc(1M). The /dev/rdsk/c?[t?]d?s2 file must be the character special file of the device where
the new label is to be installed. On x86 systems, fdisk(1M) must be run on the drive before fmthard.
If you are using an x86 system, note that the term ``partition'' in this page refers to slices within the x86 fdisk partition on x86
machines. Do not confuse the partitions created by fmthard with the partitions created by fdisk.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-d data
The data argument of this option is a string representing the information for a particular partition in the current VTOC. The string
must be of the format part:tag:flag:start:size where part is the partition number, tag is the ID TAG of the partition, flag is the set
of permission flags, start is the starting sector number of the partition, and size is the number of sectors in the partition. See the
description of the datafile below for more information on these fields.
-i
This option allows the command to create the desired VTOC table, but prints the information to standard output instead of modifying the
VTOC on the disk.
-n volume_name
This option is used to give the disk a volume_name up to 8 characters long.
-s datafile
This option is used to populate the VTOC according to a datafile created by the user. If the datafile is - (a hyphen), fmthard reads
from standard input. The datafile format is described below. This option causes all of the disk partition timestamp fields to be set to
zero.
Every VTOC generated by fmthard will also have partition 2, by convention, that corresponds to the whole disk. If the input in datafile
does not specify an entry for partition 2, a default partition 2 entry will be created automatically in VTOC with the tag V_BACKUP and
size equal to the full size of the disk.
The datafile contains one specification line for each partition, starting with partition 0. Each line is delimited by a new-line char-
acter (
). If the first character of a line is an asterisk (*), the line is treated as a comment. Each line is composed of entries
that are position-dependent, separated by white space and having the following format:
partition tag flag starting_sector size_in_sectors
where the entries have the following values:
partition
The partition number. Currently, for Solaris SPARC, a disk can have up to 8 partitions, 0-7. Even though the partition field has 4
bits, only 3 bits are currently used. For x86, all 4 bits are used to allow slices 0-15. Each Solaris fdisk partition can have up
to 16 slices.
tag
The partition tag: a decimal number. The following are reserved codes: 0 (V_UNASSIGNED), 1 (V_BOOT), 2 (V_ROOT), 3 (V_SWAP), 4
(V_USR), 5 (V_BACKUP), 6 (V_STAND), 7 (V_VAR), and 8 (V_HOME).
flag
The flag allows a partition to be flagged as unmountable or read only, the masks being: V_UNMNT 0x01, and V_RONLY 0x10. For mount-
able partitions use 0x00.
starting_sector
The sector number (decimal) on which the partition starts.
size_in_sectors
The number (decimal) of sectors occupied by the partition.
You can save the output of a prtvtoc command to a file, edit the file, and use it as the datafile argument to the -s option.

fdisk(1M), installgrub(1M)NOTES
Special care should be exercised when overwriting an existing VTOC, as incorrect entries could result in current data being inaccessible.
As a precaution, save the old VTOC.
For disks under two terabytes, fmthard cannot write a VTOC on an unlabeled disk. Use format(1M) for this purpose.
