disksecn(1M)

Servers Only disksecn(1M)

This adjustment also takes place when the disk name is known and an assumed sector size (block size) is

passed in as the argument of the

-b switch which is not DEV_BSIZE bytes, the assumed sector size (block

size) used to create the

etc/disktab ﬁle.

RETURN VALUE

disksecn returns the following values:

0 Successful completion.

1 Usage error.

2 User did not input parameters for an unknown disk.

3 Disk too small or an invalid block size.

disksecn aborts and prints an error message under the following conditions:

•

disksecn was invoked without specifying a disk name.

• Requested both -p and -d

switch.

• Illegal block size requested.

• Unknown disk name was speciﬁed and user did not supply disk information.

• Disk’s maximum storage space is less than approximately 44 MB.

WARNINGS

Alternate names are not included in the output when the

-d switch is used.

Blanks are required in the command line between each of the switches when invoking

disksecn.

A blank is required between the

-n switch and the disk name argument to that switch. For example:

disksecn -p -b 1024 -n hp9712

disksecn does not save the block size used to generate the /etc/disktab disk description ﬁle. The

system assumes that the block size used was DEV_BSIZE when it reads the information stored in the

etc/disktab ﬁle.
