Nobody will be offended if you feel compelled to change any of that
script for the better. However, the picture is still not quite so
rosy as you paint it:
> dd if=/dev/zero of=vnfile bs=1024k count=4
> vnconfig -c -s labels /dev/rvn0 vnfile
This spews:
vn0: invalid primary partition table: no magic
Rather annoyingly on the console and can be fixed as Poul-Henning has
done in doFS.sh by doing instead:
dd if=/dev/zero of=vnfile bs=1024k count=4
awk 'BEGIN {printf "%c%c", 85, 170}' | \
dd of=vnfile obs=1 seek=510 conv=notrunc 2>/dev/null
vnconfig -c -s labels /dev/rvn0 vnfile
And:
> disklabel /dev/rvn0 | disklabel -R -r vn0 /dev/stdin
Produces:
disklabel: /dev/rvn0c: Undefined error: 0
:-(
