sade
— sysadmins
disk editor
The sade
utility is used for various disk
administration tasks on FreeBSD systems.
It is generally invoked without arguments for the default
behavior, where the main menu is presented.
The sade
utility aims to provide a handy
tool for disk management tasks on an already installed system. The goal is
to provide the same text interface for disk management in
bsdinstall(8)
in the post-installation environment.
A program called sade
first appeared in
FreeBSD 6.3 as a utility encapsulating features from
the
sysinstall(8)
installer. It was replaced in FreeBSD 10.0 with the
equivalent part of
bsdinstall(8).
The utility misses a lot of nice features, such as tools for
manipulating
gmirror(8).
These will be added later.
