27.Dt EDAHDI 1 atari
28.Os
29.Sh NAME
30.Nm edahdi
31.Nd modify AHDI partition identifiers
32.Sh SYNOPSIS
33.Nm
34.Ar device
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36.Nm
37allows you to modify the partition identifiers on a disk partitioned with
38AHDI or an AHDI compatible formatter. An AHDI partition format is usually
39only present on disks shared between
40.Nx
41and some other OS. The partition identifiers are used by
42.Nx
43as a guideline to emulate a disklabel on such a disk.
44.Pp
45.Nm
46supports the following options:
47.Pp
48.Bl -tag -width device
49.It Ar device
50The name of the raw device you want to edit.
51.El
52.Pp
53The following partition identifiers are recognized by
54.Nx :
55.Pp
56.Bl -tag -width "GEM or BGM" -compact
57.It NBD
58Partition is reserved for
59.Nx .
60This can be either a root or an user partition. The first NBD
61partition on a disk will be mapped to partition
62.Em a
63in
64.Nx .
65The following NBD partitions will be mapped from
66.Em d
67up.
68The filesystem type is ffs by default.
69.It SWP
70The first SWP partition is mapped to partition
71.Em b .
72.It GEM or BGM
73These partitions are mapped from
74.Em d
75up. The filesystem type is msdos.
76.It NBR
77.Nx
78root partition (deprecated).
79.It NBU
80.Nx
81user partition (deprecated).
82.It NBS
83.Nx
84swap partition (deprecated).
85.El
86.Sh EXAMPLES
87Say, you have a disk with that is partitioned like:
88.Pp
89.Bl -column Number   Id
90.It Sy "Number" Ta Sy "Id"
91.It 1 Ta GEM
92.It 2 Ta GEM
93.It 3 Ta GEM
94.It 4 Ta GEM
95.El
96.Pp
97This partitioning will show up in
98.Nx
99as (Number refers to the first table):
100.Pp
101.Bl -column "c (whole disk)" "Fstype" "Number"
102.It Sy Partition Ta Sy Fstype Ta Sy Number
103.It c (whole disk) Ta unused Ta ""
104.It d (user part) Ta MSDOS Ta 1
105.It e (user part) Ta MSDOS Ta 2
106.It f (user part) Ta MSDOS Ta 3
107.It g (user part) Ta MSDOS Ta 4
108.El
109.Pp
110Now you decide to change the id of partition 2 and 3 to NBD. Now
111.Nx
112will show the partitioning as (Number refers to the first table):
113.Pp
114.Bl -column "c (whole disk)" "Fstype" "Number"
115.It Sy Partition Ta Sy Fstype Ta Sy Number
116.It a (root) Ta 4.2BSD Ta 2
117.It c (whole disk) Ta unused Ta ""
118.It d (user part)  Ta MSDOS  Ta 1
119.It e (user part)  Ta 4.2BSD Ta 3
120.It f (user part)  Ta MSDOS  Ta 4
121.El
122.Pp
123You will notice that the order of the partitions has changed! You will have
124to watchout for this. It is a consequence of
125.Nx
126habit of assigning a predefined meaning to the partitions
127.Em a/b
128and
129.Em c .
130.Sh SEE ALSO
131.Xr disklabel 8 ,
132.Xr installboot 8
133.Sh HISTORY
134The
135.Nm
136command first appeared in
137.Nx 1.2 .
138.Sh BUGS
139The changes made to the AHDI partitions will become active on the next
140.Em first open
141of the device. You are advised to use
142.Nm
143only on a device without any mounted or otherwise active partitions. This
144is not enforced by
145.Nm .
146This is particularly confusing when your change caused partitions to shift,
147as shown in the example above.
148.Pp
149As soon as a disk contains at least one NBD partition, you are allowed to
150write disklabels and install bootstraps.
