In BSD-derived computer operating systems (including NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD and DragonFly BSD) and in related operating systems such as SunOS, a disklabel is a record stored on a data storage device such as a hard disk that contains information about the location of the partitions on the disk. Disklabels were introduced in the 4.3BSD-Tahoe release.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=disklabel(5) )〕 Disklabels are usually edited using the disklabel utility. In later versions of FreeBSD, this was renamed as bsdlabel. == Where disklabels are stored == Traditionally, the disklabel was the first sector of the disk. However, this system only works when the only operating systems that access the disk are Unix systems that comprehend disklabels. In the world of IBM PC compatibles, disks are usually partitioned using the PC BIOS's master boot record (MBR) Partition Table scheme instead, and the BSD partitioning scheme is nested within a single, primary, MBR partition (just as the "extended" partitioning scheme is nested within a single primary partition with extended boot records). Sometimes (particularly in FreeBSD), the primary MBR partitions are referred to as ''slices'' and the subdivisions of a primary MBR partition (for the nested BSD partitioning scheme) that are described by its disklabel are called ''partitions''. The BSD disklabel is contained within the volume boot record of its primary MBR partition. The MBR partition IDs for primary partitions that are subdivided using BSD disklabels are A5h (386BSD and FreeBSD), A6h (OpenBSD), and A9h (NetBSD). This format has a similar goal as the extended partitions and logical partition system used by MS-DOS, Windows and Linux. The same PC hard drive can have both BSD disklabel partitions and the MS-DOS type logical partitions in separate primary partitions. FreeBSD and other BSD operating systems can access both the BSD disklabel subdivided partition and the MS-DOS type Extended/Logical partitions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BSD disklabel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
