scan_ffs(8) recovers accidential lost or deleted disklabels.
This is the life-saver of typos. If you have ever been working too long,
and just happened to type 'disklabel -rw da0 floppy', instead of 'diskla-
bel -rw fd0 floppy', you know what I am talking about.
This little program will take a raw disk device (which you might have to
create) that covers the whole disk, and finds all probable UFS/FFS parti-
tions on the disk. It has various options to make it go faster, and to
print out information to help in the reconstruction of the disklabel.
Ported from OpenBSD to FreeBSD 4/5 with support for UFS1 and UFS2.
filesystems: add new category for file systems and related utilities
The filesystems category houses file systems and file system utilities.
It is added mainly to turn the sysutils/fusefs-* pseudo-category into
a proper one, but is also useful for the sundry of other file systems
related ports found in the tree.
Ports that seem like they belong there are moved to the new category.
Two ports, sysutils/fusefs-funionfs and sysutils/fusefs-fusepak are
not moved as they currently don't fetch and don't have TIMESTAMP set
in their distinfo, but that is required to be able to push a rename
of the port by the pre-receive hook.
