A. bootvinum Perl Script

The bootvinum Perl script below reads /etc/fstab and current drive partitioning. It then writes several files in the current directory and several variants of /etc/fstab in /etc. These files significantly simplify the installation of Vinum and recovery from spindle failures.

# Bootstrap Vinum
#
# Read /etc/fstab and current partitioning for all spindles mentioned there.
# Generate files needed to mirror all filesystems on root spindle.
#  A new partition table for each spindle
#  Input for the vinum create command to create Vinum objects on each spindle
#  A copy of fstab mounting Vinum volumes instead of BSD partitions
#  Copies of fstab altered for server's degraded modes of operation
# See handbook for instructions on how to use the files generated.
# N.B. This bootstrapping method shrinks size of swap partition by the size
# of Vinum's on-disk configuration (265 sectors).  It embeds existing file
# systems on the root spindle in Vinum objects without having to copy them.
# Thanks to Greg Lehey for suggesting this bootstrapping method.
# Expectations:
#  The root spindle must contain at least root, swap, and /usr partitions
#  The rootback spindle must have matching /rootback and swap partitions
#  Other spindles should only have a /NOFUTURE* filesystem and maybe swap
#  File systems named /NOFUTURE* will be replaced with Vinum drives
