Hi Vermaden, great to see you here.

I remember reading about the lsblk.sh some time ago and tried testing it on NetBSD. I ran into some errors, which I can't remember right now. Will test it again and post the output here later.

Hi and thanks for testing it on NetBSD - let me know how it went - we can add that to my repo and I can 'maintain' lsblk(8) that will both for FreeBSD and NetBSD :)

This is what I get on NetBSD 10.1 STABLE

Doesn't look like glabel is available on NetBSD

Is there some alternative command for labels on NetBSD?

[–] pfr 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

gpt show sd0 and gpt show -l sd0 will show partition labels (if using GPT)

Could also use dkctl sd0 listwedges to show wedge names..

I'll have a little play and see what might work best

I would love to sit down on this and just port it to NetBSD ... but this month time is my 'valuable' thing - and I need to provide some things that I need to do for a living - please try and share what you found to work - I would really like to make lsblk(8) also work on NetBSD - as if FreeBSD would not exist - the NetBSD UNIX is the system I would be using instead :)

Yeah, I looked deeper into it and there's just too many differences between each system to make a completely portable *BSD script. Well, is out of scope for my skills at least.

I whipped up a quick and dirty script that sort of emulates lsblk on NetBSD..

Not my finest, but it works on my machine

NetBSD-lsblk.sh

Thanks - I tried it under NetBSD in FreeBSD Bhyve VM - but no luck for me:

netbsd# uname -prsm
NetBSD 10.1 amd64 x86_64

netbsd# ./lsblk.NetBSD
DEV      LABEL        FS     SIZE   USED USE% MOUNT

disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Also ... is there some gpart(8) FreeBSD equivalent on NetBSD?
