Plan 9 /sys/man/8/diskparts

NAME

diskparts, dmaon – prepare disks for use

SYNOPSIS

diskparts [ disk ... ]
dmaon

DESCRIPTION

Diskparts configures FDISK (MBR) and Plan 9 partitions on the named disks (/dev/sd* by default), then configures fs(3) by copying /cfg/$sysname/fsconfig, if present, to /dev/fs/ctl, if present, one line at a time. If #S or #k are not bound to /dev yet, they are first bound after the current contents.
Dmaon enables DMA for all attached IDE devices that claim to support it.

	Diskparts configures FDISK (MBR) and Plan 9 partitions on the named disks (`/dev/sd` by default), then configures fs(3) by copying `/cfg/$sysname/fsconfig`, if present, to `/dev/fs/ctl`, if present, one line at a time. If `#S` or `#k` are not bound to `/dev` yet, they are first bound after the current contents. Dmaon* enables DMA for all attached IDE devices that claim to support it.
