Finally bring in what was produced during Google SoC 2005:
Add functions to rename objects and to move a subdisk from one drive
to another.
Add manual page (finally).
Bring up-to-date the online help.

The +.Fl f +flag is required, as all data on the indicated subdisk(s) will be destroyed as +part of the move. This can currently only be done when the subdisk is +not being accessed. +.Pp +If the subdisk(s) form part of a RAID-5 plex, the disk(s) will need to be set +to the 'up' state and the plex will require a +.Ic rebuildparity +command; if the subdisk(s) form part of a plex that is mirrored with other +plexes, the plex will require restarting and will sync once restarted. Moving +more than one subdisk in a RAID-5 plex or subdisks from both sides of a +mirrored plex volume will destroy data. Note that parity rebuilds and syncing +must be started manually after a move. +.It Xo +.Ic printconfig +.Xc +Write a copy of the current configuration to standard output. +.It Xo +.Ic quit +.Xc +Exit +.Nm +when running in interactive mode.

It is designed either for interactive use, when started without +command line arguments, or to execute a single command if the command is +supplied on the command line. In interactive mode, +.Nm +maintains a command line history. +.Sh OPTIONS +.Nm +commands may be followed by an option. +.Bl -tag -width indent +.It Fl f +The +.Fl f +.Pq Dq force +option overrides safety checks. It should be used with extreme caution. This +option is required in order to use the +.Ic move +command. +.It Fl r +The +.Fl r +.Pq Dq recursive +option applies the command recursively to subordinate objects. For example, in +conjunction with the +.Ic lv +command, the +.Fl r +option will also show information about the plexes and subdisks belonging to +the volume. It is also used by the +.Ic rename +command to indicate that subordinate objects such as subdisks should be renamed +to match the object(s) specified and by the +.Ic rm +command to delete plexes belonging to a volume and so on. +.It Fl v +The +.Fl v +.Pq Dq verbose +option provides more detailed output. +.It Fl V +The +.Fl V +.Pq Dq very verbose +option provides even more detailed output than +.Fl v . +.El +.Sh FILES +.Bl -tag -width /dev/gvinum/plex +.It Pa /dev/gvinum +directory with device nodes for +.Nm +objects +.It Pa /dev/gvinum/plex +directory containing device nodes for +.Nm +plexes +.It Pa /dev/gvinum/sd +directory containing device nodes for +.Nm +subdisks +.El +.Sh ENVIRONMENT +.Bl -tag -width EDITOR +.It Ev EDITOR +The name of the editor to use for editing configuration files, by +default +.Nm vi . +.El +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr geom 4 , +.Xr geom 8 +.Pp +.Sh AUTHORS +.An Lukas Ertl Aq le@freebsd.org +.An Chris Jones Aq soc-cjones@freebsd.org +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Nm +utility first appeared in +.Fx 5.3 . The +.Nm vinum +utility, on which +.Nm +is based, was written by Greg Lehey. +.Pp +.Nm +was written by Lukas Ertl. The move and rename commands and +documentation were added by Chris Jones through the 2005 Google Summer +of Code program. +.Sh BUGS +.Xr gvinum 8 does not rename devices in +.Pa /dev/gvinum +until reloaded. +.Pp +The +.Fl S +initsize flag to +.Ic start +is ignored. +.Pp +The +.Ic stop +command does not work. +.Pp +Moving subdisks that are not part of a mirrored or RAID-5 volume will +destroy data. It is perhaps a bug to permit this. +.Pp +Plexes in which subdisks have been moved do not automatically sync or +rebuild parity. This may leave data unprotected and is perhaps unwise. +.Pp +.Xr gvinum 8 does not yet fully implement all functions found in +.Xr vinum 4 .
