CVS commit: src/sbin/bioctl

[Juan Romero Pardines <xtraeme%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Module Name:    src
Committed By:   xtraeme
Date:           Wed Jan  2 23:45:07 UTC 2008

Modified Files:
        src/sbin/bioctl: Makefile bioctl.8 bioctl.c

Log Message:
Rewrite bioctl(8) and add support for the following features:

- Ability to add/remove hot-spare disks (previously only 'add' was accepted).
- Ability to add/remove pass-through disks.
- Ability to create/remove RAID volumes with optional size, stripe, level,
  member disks and others.
- Ability to start/stop consistency checks in a RAID volume.
- Ability to show only information about physical disks, volumes or both.

Rather than using multiple flags, the utility has been modified to use
the same mode than dkctl(8) (and maybe others), i.e:

$ ./bioctl
usage: bioctl device command [arg [...]]
Available commands:
  show [disks] | [volumes]
  alarm [enable] | [disable] | [silence] | [test]
  blink start | stop [channel:target[.lun]]
  hotspare add | remove channel:target.lun
  passthru add DISKID | remove channel:target.lun
  check start | stop VOLID
  create volume VOLID DISKIDs [SIZE] STRIPE RAID_LEVEL channel:target.lun
  remove volume VOLID channel:target.lun
$

I'll add support for other features soon.
