installer - use a more modern mount setup for UFS and HAMMER.
* Rewrite a large chunk of the disklabeling and mount point code.
UFS now gains a separate /boot partition, avoiding issues with
the boot loader if the user desires to install a large UFS root on
a drive.
* Normalize the mount mechanics for both UFS and HAMMER. Instead of
using PFSs on HAMMER, we create two large partitions by default:
One is the root partition, the other is /build.
The /build partition holds major elements of the system which would
normally not have to be backed up:
/var/tmp (from /build/var.tmp)
/var/cache (from /build/var.cache)
/var/crash (from /build/var.crash)
/var/spool (from /build/var.spool)
/var/log (from /build/var.log)
/usr/obj (from /build/usr.obj)
The root partition holds all remaining major directories, including the
base /var.
There are several reasons for this. Generally speaking, stuff in /home,
/usr and most of the stuff in /var is critical to system operation and
user happiness, and it makes little sense to separate it out from the root
mount.
We pick-out the less critical directories and place them on /build,
using NULL mounts to mount them in their expected locations.
* Users can easily make adjustments post-install without having to mess
around with PFSs, and can make simple adjustments pre-install.
* Drives smaller than around 40GB will not create a separate /build
partition by default, but will still create a /build directory in the
root partition and generate the same nullfs mounts. This makes it easier
for the user to adjust to a larger configuration later on if desired.
* This also improves crash recovery mechanics, increasing the chance that
the root partition will be able to mount with minimal recovery work.
* We now use a tmpfs filesystem for /tmp by default. /var/tmp is mounted
from storage. Again, the user can change this easily post-install.
* Calculate better values for swap, root, and /build, based on the size
of the slice being installed to. The /build directory will cap-out
at around 20GB leaving. Swap will be made smaller if the root partition
seems to small, and so forth.
Some swap is always configured. Swap is a very useful thing to have,
even if you have tons of memory, because there will always be a certain
number of always-idle pages from idle services laying around.
* Remove /dev from sources.conf, it is no longer appropriate to try to
cpdup /dev. Fixes a cpdup error.
* UFS root can now be encrypted (it couldn't before), because the UFS
install now splits out a separate /boot partition.
* Tested w/non-crypto UFS and HAMMER install, crypto UFS and HAMMER install,
and with small and large drives.
