I am writing a script which needs to figure out the physical locations of each of the /dev device names located on each disk. That is, for each of the names, list the absolute offset in blocks, the size in blocks, and perhaps the partition type code and some other info. The script is going to use this information to copy selected regions for the purposes of baking them up or cloning them, so it needs to be accurate and noninteractive. If it can be done using C library routines, this would also be OK. How can I get this information? -Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
