adrian 2011-04-12 08:10:25 UTC FreeBSD src repository Modified files: sys/conf files Added files: sys/geom geom_map.c Log: SVN rev 220559 on 2011-04-12 08:10:25Z by adrian Introduce geom_map, a GEOM provider designed for use by embedded flash stores. Some devices - notably those with uboot - don't have an explicit partition table (eg like Redboot's FIS.) geom_map thus provides an easy way to export the hard-coded flash layout as geom providers for use by filesystems and other tools. It also includes a "search" function which allows for dynamic creation of partition layouts where the device only has a single hard-coded partition. For example, if there is a "kernel+rootfs" partition, a single image can be created which appends the rootfs after the kernel with an appropriate search string. geom_map can be told to search for said search string and create a partition beginning after it.
