Modified files: (Branch: RELENG_4)
sbin/disklabel disklabel.8 disklabel.c
Log:
Add a -f option to make disklabel to work on regular files (representing
disk images). The change actually boils down to little more than
providing the equivalent of a 'virgin' label for the file, all
the remaining label manipulation being the same.
This saves the need for going through vn/mdconfig (and root privs)
just to label an image file.
RELENG_4 only commit because disklabel is not in RELENG_5/CURRENT anymore,
though I suspect a similar change could be applied to bsdlabel and friends.
