https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=199407 Bug ID: 199407 Summary: mkuzip(8) verbosity change request to help with makefs(8) filesystems Product: Base System Version: 11.0-CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: kwhite@site.uottawa.ca Created attachment 155531 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=155531&action=edit requested enhancements to mkuzip and makefs After an Easter weekend's head scratching over a frustratingly intermittent problem... mkuzip's default verbosity level hides a message that might help end users (me) when disk /dev/ufs/... labels on mkuzip filesystems "mysteriously" don't appear at boot. mkuzip provides useful messages when "-v" is added, but they're lost amongst the noise. I propose adding verbosity levels: "-v" "-vv" Patch for mkuzip(8) attached. The mkulzma(8) derivative could be modified similarly. sys/geom/label/g_label_ufs.c expects well behaved filesystem sizes. Unfortunately, mkuzip(8) may need to add some padding when compressing a filesystem, and the provider size will then no longer match the superblock. Particularly for a makefs(8) filesystem. One workaround for "file size is not multiple of XXXX, padding data" would be for the user to specify a bsize the same as the intended mkuzip blocksize. e.g.: $ ZBLOCKSIZE=32768 $ FSIZE=`expr $ZBLOCKSIZE / 8` $ LABEL="ALabel" $ makefs -o label="$LABEL" -o bsize=$ZBLOCKSIZE -o fsize=$FSIZE ... $ mkuzip -v -s $ZBLOCKSIZE ... A patch (attached) for makefs(8) that pads the resulting filesystem to fit on a mkuzip cluster_size boundary, might be useful as well. $ ZBLOCKSIZE=32768 $ LABEL="ALabel" $ makefs -o label="$LABEL" -c $ZBLOCKSIZE ... $ mkuzip -v -s $ZBLOCKSIZE ...keith ~ -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
