Software to manage BIND 9 ?

2007-12-12 Thread Frank Bonnet


Hi

I'm searching for some "good" software that runs with FreeBSD to manage
a primary DNS server with several domains.

I've looked around, google for it, but was not able to have a precise idea
so if some DNS admins that use one could tell me which are the most populars
and usefuls it would be great :-)

Thanks a lot in advance.

Installing Samba : FreeBSD Vs Linux ?

2008-10-17 Thread Frank Bonnet


Hello

I am on the way to setup a brand new Samba server with OpenLDAP backend

I am very interrested by feedback of "real world" samba admins running it with 
FreeBSD
or Linux , my boss push hardly to use Linux but I would much prefer FreeBSD
so good arguments are welcome ( my boss is a smart guy , if I give enough
litterature that says FreeBSD is better, he will be OK )

More seriously I'm also searching for eventuals benchmarks that compare
those two configurations.

Thanks a lot.

If he's a good boss (as the poster seem to be implying) then he will
be asking because he hasn't made his mind up his mind completely, but
yeah don't get fired over it :)


From what I have seen, both are perfectly capable and since its samba

that will be doing most of the actual work its probably doesn't matter
that much. Of course the next question if he goes with Linux, is which
distro. Perhaps the question should be FreeBSD v Red Hat v Ubuntu v
SUSE v latest flavour of the month. Since keeping it patched is
essential, these sorts of admin features do matter.

I am not sure what File System you plan on using but FreeBSD does have
one killer feature Linux doesn't, ZFS. Linux thanks to licensing
issues doesn't really have a solid implementation yet (although there
have been attempts). If you need its features and can put a decent
amount of RAM in to the file server, to good be a good choice and
perhaps just the angle you are looking for.

To be honest I haven't used ZFS in serious production yet although I
have been running it at home on my DIY 1.25tb NAS without any issues
for nearly a year. Still if you have spent a lot an expensive RAID
system disabling it and using ZFS's superior (unless you really spent
a lot on that RAID hardware) redundancy may not go down to well.

Hope that's of some help.

Seems to be a linux specific implementation of iscsi and gnu licenced so
no we dont. However we have iscsi_initiator(4) in 7.x see the man pages

For a iscsi target daemon see net/iscsi-target in ports.

I'm not sure which charset you will need, maybe ISO-8859-1 or -15
will do the job to allow accents and other things special to the
french language?

Set the correct LC_* variables via /etc/login.conf (elegant) or
via /etc/csh.cshrc (may be considered ugly, but works). For the last
case, it would be something like this:

setenv LC_ALL  fr_FR.ISO8859-15

You can do it more "fine grained", if you wish to leave some of
the configurable things to the standard, for example:

setenv LC_COLLATE  fr_FR.ISO8859-15
setenv LC_CTYPEfr_FR.ISO8859-15
setenv LC_MESSAGES en_US.ISO8859-15
setenv LC_MONETARY fr_FR.ISO8859-15
setenv LC_NUMERIC  fr_FR.ISO8859-15
setenv LC_TIME fr_FR.ISO8859-15

I have a similar setting for the german language (de_DE) which
allows me to use Umlauts in file names.

BUT ATTENTION! I won't recommend anyone to use others but the
standard character set for filenames. It can lead to problems if
you're transfering files to a system which doesn't support
special characters from the french language or is unable to remap
them correctly. In my opinion, such characters should not be in
a filename, as well as whitespaces, ampersands, apostrophes,
doublequotes or similar things. I know it's possible, but it
sometimes can make things _really_ difficult.

I hope you won't run into such problems.




Thanks a lot for your help !
I only want to allow French characters in filenames not all the environemment
so I gonna check with the help you gave :-)

Suppose you have a system with multiple disks managed by a

To FreeBSD it will look like e.g. a single large drive.

If you want to extend your disk space by plugging in an extra

add it in his management, but will it be seen by FreeBSD?

How can you make the added disk-space available for FreeBSD.
Can this be done without shutting down the system? How??



I think this would be possible using vinum, but I've never tested it.

Setting up pam ldap ssh access on a FreeBSD box takes less than five 
minutes *after* installing the correct ports.


1) net/openldap-client
2) security/pam_ldap

Then configure ldap.conf (in /usr/local/etc/) which is quite simple:
host {your ldap server(s) either hostname(s) or ip(s) in a 
space-separate list

dc (your dn)

Then configure /etc/pam.d/sshd thus:
authsufficient  /usr/local/lib/pam_ldap.so  no_warn 
try_first_pass


That's all that is needed.



That's what I did , I use nss_ldap and pam_ldap since a long time now
on many platforms and that is what do not work



If it doesn't work, fire up wireshark (port) or tcpdump (base) and see 
what the problem is.


at the very last extremity why not ?

There is a couple of cheap ways of doing this. First, download the free
version of VMWare ESXi and partition your hardware. Another is to
install VirtualBox, a Type-2 HyperVisor.

Depending on what you consider a cloud, take a look at Hadoop. Hadoop
isn't partitioning hardware but Hadoop and the applications that run on
top of Hadoop can give you an interesting view of these technologies and
how they can be applied to cloudy data.

As for how to get data into/out-of the cloud, let me know how that
works. :)

I wasn't flaming, just remarking on the fact that the meaning of 
"cloud" depends on the company that is trying to sell you cloud 
related products.

A bit more specific would be useful.


we would like to offer to our students and professors
a kind of private cloud to access/manipulate  their personnal data
from almost anywhere and with almost any devices


could be taken to mean anything from WebDAV/Dropbox functionality to 
Hadoop type processing or data mining. What sort of and how much 
"manipulation" is needed? If you answer that it would let us help you 
more.



Well ... in short I need to let our users ( students + profs ) access 
and share their data ( living in their UNIX home directories )

The access must be easy and possible from as much devices as possible.
Am I clear enough ? ( sorry English is not my native language ...)

There is a couple of cheap ways of doing this. First, download the free
version of VMWare ESXi and partition your hardware. Another is to
install VirtualBox, a Type-2 HyperVisor.

Depending on what you consider a cloud, take a look at Hadoop. Hadoop
isn't partitioning hardware but Hadoop and the applications that run on
top of Hadoop can give you an interesting view of these technologies and
how they can be applied to cloudy data.

As for how to get data into/out-of the cloud, let me know how that
works. :)




Hi Dennis

Problem when swapping two IP addresses machines

2011-05-05 Thread Frank Bonnet


Hello

Yesterday I swapped the IP addresses of two machines
( new and old mail server ).

After I rebooted the two machines I was unable to join
our DNS server ( even to ping it )

I suspect the DNS was keeping the IP / MAC address mapping
of the two swapped machines , so I flushed the ARP cache but
it was still impossible to join the DNS from the concerned
machines. I have to reboot the DNS Server to be able to
ping it and use it again.

The DNS server runs FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p4.

Thanks for any infos.

If the first few characters is not accented, type 'mv "', then the first few 
characters,  in a command line, and press 'tab' so the auto-completion works. Don't 
forget the closing quote. Then rename it to something else.


Access right are OK ( 644 )
the completion does not work, the operating system says file not found

when I type the "ls -l" command the file is displayed

The *easy* work-arouond -- it does -not- solve the real problem, but does
let you work with the file -- is to rename the file.

Not easy the file is created by a software that extract it from a SQL 
database

*Assuming* you are seeing the rest of the filename, _after_ the '?' character,
then issue an 'mv' command, using the source file name _exactly_ as shown
(i.e., _with_ the '?' in place of the unprintable character), and using a
destination file name that is _without_ any accented characters in it.

If that mv fails, try repeating it, but using an '*' instead of the '?'.

Oh, there is one more situation that can cause the kind of problem you are
seeing.  Does the 'ls -l' show it as an _actual_ file, or a 'symlink' (to
a file that does not exist)?  A 'dangling symlink' can give all sorts of
"strange" errors.

no it is not a symlink it's a "real" file

 mv ?\ fichier.txt aFile.txt

Long answer, for those who want to follow along and fix their terminal to
display UTF-8, keep reading...

Step 1: Make a funky file to play along with this min-tutorial:
===

Create a text file with an editor that supports non-ASCII characters. I
created a file named 'filename' which containing this (no newline!):

 à fichier.txt

Step 2: Create the actual file with content
===

I used echo and cat like so in the tcsh shell:

 echo "hello world">  "`cat filename`"


Step 3: Show the file in ls
===

As you can see below, the first character of the filename is displayed as two
question marks. This is the terminal's way of showing filenames that it cannot
display correctly. There are two question marks, because this is a two-byte
character. This does *not* mean the filename starts with a literal question
mark:


 -rw-r--r--  1 Modulok  Modulok   12 May 23 09:01 ?? fichier.txt

Step 4: (optional) Fix the terminal
===

At this point, let's just fix the terminal so that UTF-8 characters are
displayed correctly. We want to see the French accented 'à', and not a bunch of
question marks. To do this, you edit '/etc/login.conf' as root. Add two lines
at the bottom of the 'default' section. My default section now looks like this:


 default:\
 :passwd_format=md5:\
 :copyright=/etc/COPYRIGHT:\

 ...and so on...

 :charset=en_US.UTF-8:\
 :lang=en_US.UTF-8:

If you're a French operation yours should probably look like this instead:

 default:\
 :passwd_format=md5:\
 :copyright=/etc/COPYRIGHT:\

 ...and so on...

 :charset=fr_FR.UTF-8:\
 :lang=fr_FR.UTF-8:

I'm not certain on these for all countries, but the above examples work. We
then need to rebuild the actual login database. Execute the following command
as root:

 cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf

This generates /etc/login.conf.db from /etc/login.conf. Now log out and then
back in!


Step 5: Back to the funky file
==

You should now see the actual accent characters correctly in the terminal.
(Assuming your terminal supports this):

 -rw-r--r--  1 Modulok  Modulok   12 May 23 09:01 à fichier.txt

In some ternimals, we cannot type these characters. So you can access the
filename through a shell glob pattern. In most shells, the glob pattern '?'
matches any single character. The forward slash escapes the space in the
filename.

 mv ?\ fichier.txt aFile.txt


Hope this helps (and doesn't get too mangled.)

Very good hints indeed.

I once had a directory full of files with strange characters, so I wrote a
little program that replaced every non-ascii char in a filename with its
hex-encoding (like this: "Hello%20World%21", % escape char), so
I could manipulate them with the shell. As long as the expanded
filenames didn't hit the MAXNAMELEN limit in, it
worked perfectly.

I could dig this C program out of old archives, but I guess that it is
faster to rewrite it on the fly, or even script it with sh(1), tr(1), awk(1),
and find(1)... ;-)

Alternatively to such a run-once-in-a-while program, I could also
imagine a file system layer on top of existing file systems that
would do this conversion automatically, but that's harder to code,
and harder to debug (kernel mode!).

I have a 7.3 small server working as secondary dns, 3 domains for http

IN some way a spammer could tell root to send LOT emailes.
I detect it , I guess when they started.I did not know how they did it,
apparently with a program injection or similar strategy since it seems
they do not enter the server, for what I have checked until now.

Can be restricted the root user? ON the side of the OS or the sendmail.

Suggestions on how to avoid this again.

The password for root was VERY strong. I do not think they access it. I
guess when I configured the email and server let something open so root
was forced to do that.

make one partition with two existing ?

2011-06-09 Thread Frank Bonnet


Hello

I have a raid 5 array ( HP hardware managed ) that contains the 
following partitions


-- Filesystem   SizeUsed   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/aacd0s1a1.9G306M1.5G17%/
devfs1.0K1.0K  0B   100%/dev
/dev/aacd0s1g 10G7.2M9.3G 0%/tmp
/dev/aacd0s1e609G559G1.5G   100%/mnt
/dev/aacd0s1d 97G 12G 77G14%/usr
/dev/aacd0s1f610G5.3G556G 1%/var

What I would like to do is

1 - delete the /mnt partition
2 - extend the /var partition with the free space left by /mnt

Is it faisable without destroying the /var data ?

Thanks a lot

Shpuld be possible in few steps.

1. Unmount /var and dump its content, e. g.
# umount /var
# dump -0a -f /usr/var.dump /dev/aacd0s1f

If you can't unmount /var, see "man dump" for the -L option.

2. Delete the /dev/aacd0s1e and /dev/aacd0s1f partition, e. g.
using sysinsall.

3. Create a new partition /dev/aacd0s1e with the size of the
former /dev/aacd0s1e + /dev/aacd0s1f, e. g. using sysinstall
or bsdlabel.

4. Initialize the new partition /dev/aacd0s1e, e. g.
# newfs -U /dev/aacd0s1e
Use further tunefs commands if required.

5. Mount it and restore from dump.
# mount /dev/aacd0s1e /var
# cd /var
# restore -r -f /usr/var.dump

Finally you can remove /usr/var.dump. And make a change to
/etc/fstab for the new setting.

The whole work is best done in single user mode so there
won't be requests for writing things to /var.







Thanks a lot !

import users from LDAP to local password file (pwd.db)

2011-07-08 Thread Frank Bonnet


Hello

I need to import the necessary users's data  from an OpenLDAP directory 
server

to put them in the local password files , anyone has done this before ?

The machine use nss_ldap and pam_ldap to authenticate users but for 
robustness
during the holidays I would like to have a local password file on this 
machine which

is our mailhub.

The OpenLDAP server runs on another machine and if it fails during 
holidays I want
my mailhub to be standalone for authentication in order to let email

Tools to find "unlegal" files ( videos , music etc )

2011-07-18 Thread Frank Bonnet


Hello

Anyone knows an utility that I could pipe to the "find" command
in order to detect video, music, games ... etc  files ?

I need a tool that could "inspect" inside files because many users
rename those filename to "inoffensive" ones :-)

We are facing a legal problem so I'm a bit in the hurry to scan our
filers where are living users data.

One way could be to define a list of file extensions that
commonly matches the content you want to track. Of course,
the file name does not directly correspond to the content,
but it often gives a good hint to search for *.wmv, *.flv,
*.avi, *.mp(e)g, *.mp3, *.wma, *.exe - and of course all
the variations of the extensions with uppercase letters.
Also consider *.rar and maybe *.zip for compressed content.

If file extensions have been manipulated (rare case), the
"file" command can still identify the correct file type.





yes thanks , gonna try with the file command

You could make a simple script that lists "file" output for
all files (just to be sure because of possible suffix renaming)
for further inspection. Sometimes, you can also run "strings"
for a given file - maybe that can be used to identify typical
suspicious string patters for a "strings + grep" combination
so less manual identification has to be done.




yes , my main problem is the huge number of files
but anyway I'm gonna first check files greater than 500 Mb
it could be a good start

That's what 'find(1)' is for.  Something like (run as superuser):

  find / -exec  ./inspect {}>>  /tmp/suspects \;

with './inspect' being a trivial (executable!) shell-script:

 #!/bin/sh
 file $1 | awk -f  ./inspect.awk

and './inspect.awk' is:

   {file = $1 ; $1 = "";}
/regex1/  {printf("%s  %s\n",file,$0;next);
/regex2/  {printf("%s  %s\n",file,$0;next);
/regex3/  {printf("%s  %s\n",file,$0;next);
   ...  ...
   ...  ...
   {next;}

where 'regex1', 'regex2', etc. are things to select 'files' of interest,
based on what 'file' reports.  The awk code strips out the file name, so
that the regex will match only against the 'file' output, with no false-
Positives against a substring in the file name itself.

See the find(1) manpage for things you can put before the '-exec' param,
to filter by size, etc.  You can also limit the search to a specific
part of the filesystem tree, by replacing '/' with the name of the directory
hierarchy you want to search -- e.g. '/home' (if that's where all 'user'
files are) -- although, 'for completeness' (given the 'legal" issues)  you
may well want to run it over 'everything'.

to ask about something that _can_ be done mechanically.

Furthermore, it was _explicit_ in the actual suggestion that it only
produced a list possible 'suspects' -- It did _not_ provide any
indication of status -- 'legal', or otherwise.

Go to hell.

I recommend you take your own advice -- then you might have an opportunity
to learn "what the hell" you're talking about.


 He wants to rename the files that are illegal to ones that
aren't.

Have you got *anything* to support that =libelous= accusation?

While you're at it, I dare you to attempt to explain how 'renaming' a
file can _possibly_ make it 'legal' if it were not so before the renaming..

Next, _if_ he was doing that, can you explain _why_ he needed to look 'inside'
the file for content type?

He is specifically attempting to find content that has *ALREADY* been
'concealed' in 'innocuous' file names.


That's circumventing copyright law and would land him or her in
jail.

THAT statement is 'libel per se', and, as such, actionable defamation.


   This topic, based solely on ethics, should not be discussed as any
suggestions that this is LEGAL to do supports copyright violations.

STRAWMAN ALERT!!

BOGON ALERT!!

"This topic" -- meaning *YOUR* "false to fact" assumption about the OP
'renaming' copyright-infringing files to avoid detection -- exists *ONLY*
in your depraved imagination.

Since there is =nothing= in this discussion, up to this point, that touchs
on the point _at_all_, It is *pure*fiction* to postulate that there have
been any suggestions that 'this is legal'.

In point of actual FACT, the OP, a _system_administrator_, is attempting
to ferret out possible COPYRIGHT VIOLATIONS -- of the type you so vehemently
oppose -- BY HIS USERS.

Yet, for some reason, you are opposed to those who are offering said admin
assistince in FINDING THE VIOLATIONS.



I would record those names and DELETE them but only if the TOS supports
it.

You *do* realize that doing _that_ would make *you* potentially liable for
CRIMINAL PROSECUTION for 'intentionally destroying evidence' of a crime,
don't you?


 If it does not, then you get the DCMA notice

You *REALLY*are an ignoramus, aren't you?

Did you notice _where_ the OP was posting from?

Do you have any idea of the geographic limits of the DMCA?

Did you notice that the OP, a system administrator, has _already_ received
a legal notice about 'infringing' files on his system?


  and handle it
accordingly from the copyright holder.

Bon courage then...


A file can not be illegal per se, so you won't be able to detect these by 
looking up names or contents.

Even then, if a file is labeled as personal, privacy protection applies and it 
is *unlawful* for you to process it.
(That is in the same way that your employer is strictly forbidden from peeking 
inside your email messages clearly labeled as personal, even if they were 
received on your work mailbox.)


You may however force the user to delete it as it's got nothing to do on a work 
file server and is possibly forbidden  by your IT policy.
You may also delete it yourself in accordance with your TOS / IT policy but you 
should exercise this with care and get a written request from your boss 
beforehand.


You may want to look for files that are unusually large.
They could possibly be ISOs, dvdrips, HD movie dumps...

Note that, again, just because a file exists and is a certain type doesn't make 
them illegal.
I myself have several ISOs at work including dumps of our windows XP CDs, win7 
upgrade disks, and specialised lawyer software.

We have the same problem here with users sharing movies on the file servers, 
and what makes it worse is some of their movie files are legit because they're, 
for example, official trailers that are reworked and redistributed to our 
customers.


You won't win this, tell your boss it can not be done.


We'll see who will win ;-)

a good start is to look for files bigger that 500 Mb , I did it and find
lot of  "disk space consuming" files ...

let's see what the file command tells about them ...

Exactly!

Speaking with my university sysadmin hat on: you're NOT allowed to
peek inside personal files of your users, UNLESS the user has waived
his/her rights to privacy by explicitly agreeing to the TOS and
there's legal language in the TOS that allows staff to inspect files
(and then staff needs to abide by those rules in a very strict and
cautious manner). So unless the TOS are very explicit, a sysadmin or
an IT head can get in deep trouble w.r.t. privacy laws.


You may want to look for files that are unusually large.
They could possibly be ISOs, dvdrips, HD movie dumps...

Not to forget encrypted RAR files (which btw. could contain anything,
including legitimate content, so be careful here).


We have the same problem here with users sharing movies on the file
servers, and what makes it worse is some of their movie files are
legit because they're, for example, official trailers that are
reworked and redistributed to our customers.

You won't win this, tell your boss it can not be done.

What can technically be done is that the copyright owner provides a
list of hashes for his files, and requests that you traverse your
filesystems, looking for files that match those hashes. AND, even
then, all you can do is flag the files, and you'll have to check with
the user that he/she doesn't own a license permitting him/her to own
that file!

However, even that isn't foolproof: nothing prevents a user from
flipping a bit or two, rescaling, resampling, splitting the files into
multiple files in a non-obvious manner, adding random bytes at the end
etc...: the result would still be infringing, but can't be detected
automatically (at least not in a reasonable amount of time).

Better talk with your users and resolve the problem using
non-technical means. Inventive users WILL always outsmart any
technical solution that you implement: this is a race you absolutely
can't win.

-cpghost.



I agree with most of what you write , my real goal is not to win the
race but only warn users about the nonsense of keeping those files in a
space they do not own even it is called "private"

In fact is our filers are really expensives machines (NetAPP...) paid by
our institution to store users's work not their private data,
personnal computers are build/sold for that.

I think we should close this thread for now , thanks to all that respond.

Migrating my mailhub from 4.9 to 5.x

2004-06-16 Thread Frank BONNET

Hello

I am in the process to migrate my mailhub ( ~3000 mailboxes ) from 4.9
to the next 5.x release to be able to use native nss_ldap and pam_ldap.

I have tested the 5.2.1 version on another smallest machine and most
of my needings are working.

BUT

I need also to change the webmail I use actually as it seems to be not
supported anymore , this is IMHO working on the Roxen http server.

I need a webmail that works with uw-imap ( mandatory ) and the maildox
format as I have to keep a large amount of mailboxes and don't want
want to use the maildir format for now.

Any recommendations on the webmail I should use ? 
I have tested some on my spare machine but really don't know how they 
will work under a "production load" 

The machine is a HP/Compaq Proliant GL380 with 2 Gb RAM 
and a lot of disk space.

Thanks in advance.

Re: IMAP server and client recommendations?

2004-04-22 Thread Frank Bonnet

Danny MacMillan a écrit :

Is it feasible to use the IMAP server as a mail storage solution like 
this?  Can anyone recommend a good IMAP server (for FreeBSD of course) 
and give me some tips on considerations for choosing one?  I blush to 
say it, but I've never even had an IMAP account.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Danny

I administer the mailhub of our site (http://www.esiee.fr)
we use UW imap server for all of our 2500 users.
We are an engineers school in electronics and have about
2000 students that use different machines/OS inside the school.
The machine is a COMPAQ Proliant 360 with 2.5 Gb RAM
and _a lot_ of disk space.
The main advantage of imap is the emails stay on the server
and every user can access its mailboxes from anywhere and
find the same "environnement" when accessing from different
machines.
The main problem is disk space if you have many users
but thoses days harddisks are cheap.
Also think to a method to bachup mailboxes.

We also use an old webmail that access emails thru IMAP.

Speaking about formats mbox or maildir

For historical reasons we use mbox but if I have to
build a new Imap server I think I'll choose maildir
which is slower to access but more safe "one file per email"
this is of course a personnal thought.
Hope this helps

My common sense tells me that I should just link /var/mail to /usr/mail

/usr/mail. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Configuring postfix itself in the main.cf file might be better I think.

LDAP auth troubles

# session

# password

The problem is I can "su - some-ldap-user" as root but I cannot
perform a normam login session with this user or I cannot ftp
to this machine.
I think authentication is not performed but I don't see where
I did the mistake, I am not really familiar with PAM so I think
I'm wrong somewhere but ... where ?

If I "su -" to some user I fall in the homedir of the user but
I have no write access to the homedir ...

We have a lot of LDAP clients ( Linux and HPUX )that access to the 
users's homedir thru NFS without problem.

something likes this

add pass all from any to any via lo0
add pass tcp from w.x.y.z to any 22 in via $int keep-state
add pass tcp from w.x.y.z to any 389 in via $int keep-state
add deny ip from any to any

or for pf (better in my opinion)

table  const { hosta, hostb, ... }
table  const { hosta, hostb, ... }

set skip on lo0

block any from any
pass in quick proto tcp from  to any port ssh synproxy state
pass in quick proto tcp from  to any port ldap synproxy state




whops forgot the all important lines. Without these you box itself cant
intiate connections to the outside world

ipfw add before the deny

add pass all from any to any out via $int keep-state

and for pf, add at the end

pass out from any to any keep state

Partitions greater than 1TB ?

2011-01-24 Thread Frank Bonnet


Hello

I'm trying to install a new server ( HP Proliant 380 G7 ) which has
a 2.5 TB RAID Array.

It seems impossible to use the Freebsd sysinstall to partition this
raid array disks.

I get an error message when running the partitionner

Error mounting /mnt/dev/da1s1e on /mnt/.user : input/output error

Anyone has infos about this problem ?

Thanks

Correct. Currently sysinstall can only perform MBR partitioning
(partitions limited to 2TB max).

You want GPT partitioning.

See gpart(8)
