While one might think this test is useful, newfs | has historically allowed file systems to be created on non-4.2BSD | partitions, and the ability to do so is quite useful to some people. I'm curious as to who finds the old behaviour so useful and/or necessary that they can't first edit the disklabel to contain the correct partition type and other information, or use newfs -F (which ignores the disk label entry entirely). I received a reasonable amount of positive feedback about the addition of that test (which prevents non 4.2BSD file systems from being newfs-ed unless you use -F), and having been bitten myself by accidentally newfs-ing the wrong partition because of a one character typo (and I'm sure that I'm not the only one), I disagree strongly with your backing out of that test. | To generate a diff of this commit: | cvs rdiff -r1.56 -r1.57 basesrc/sbin/newfs/newfs.c | | Please note that diffs are not public domain; they are subject to the | copyright notices on the relevant files.
