Log:
Improve error handling in libdisk while parsing the kern.geom.conftxt
sysctl.
Previously, any parse error will result in the calling program exiting with
an
unpleasant message. This change will cause libdisk to issue a warning and
ignore lines it cannot parse instead of bluntly terminating the unfortunate
enough program.
This change will allow you to use sysinstall if you have a NTFS parition
with
a space in the name (such as 'Win Xp'). In such a case, a line like the
following will appear in the kern.geom.conftxt output:
2 LABEL ntfs/Win Xp 209818635264 512 i 0 o 0
As the fields are space-separated, libdisk would go beserk and exit the
program.
This would happen if using FreeBSD 7.0 snapshot images (as GEOM_LABEL is in
the installation kernel as well), thus making it impossible to install
FreeBSD
without renaming your NTFS paritions.
