February 27, 2007 DKSCAN_BSDLABEL 8

### NAME

dkscan_bsdlabel - program to create wedges from a BSD disklabel

### SYNOPSIS

dkscan_bsdlabel [-nv] device

### DESCRIPTION

dkscan_bsdlabel scans a disk for a BSD disklabel, which does not need to be the label variant used on the architecture currently running, or even the same endianess.

The following options are supported:

-n
  No execution - list the wedges, but do not create them.
-v
  Be more verbose - print additional information.

The argument device specifices the disk on which the disklabel is scanned and to which the wedges are added.

### EXAMPLES

``Flv wd1
Create wedges from all recognized partitions on wd1

### SEE ALSO

### HISTORY

The dkscan_bsdlabel command first appeared in NetBSD5.0.

### AUTHORS
