NAME
     gmountver -- control utility for disk mount verification GEOM class

SYNOPSIS
     gmountver create [-v] prov ...
     gmountver destroy [-fv] name
     gmountver list
     gmountver status [-s name]
     gmountver load [-v]
     gmountver unload [-v]

DESCRIPTION
     The gmountver utility is used to control the mount verification GEOM class.
     When configured, it passes all the I/O requests to the underlying provider.
     When  the underlying provider disappears - for example because the disk de-
     vice got disconnected - it queues all the I/O requests and  waits	for  the
     provider  to  reappear.  When that happens, it attaches to it and sends the
     queued requests.

     The first argument to gmountver indicates an action to be performed:

     create   Enable mount verification for the given provider.  If  the  opera-
	      tion succeeds, a new GEOM provider will be created using the given
	      provider's  name	with  a  `.mountver'  suffix.  The kernel module
	      geom_mountver.ko will be loaded if it is not loaded already.

     destroy  Destroy name.

     list     See geom(8).

     status   See geom(8).

     load     See geom(8).

     unload   See geom(8).

     Additional options:

     -f      Force the removal of the specified mountver device.

     -v      Be more verbose.

SYSCTL VARIABLES
     The following sysctl(8) variables can be used to control  the  behavior  of
     the MOUNTVER GEOM class.  The default value is shown next to each variable.

     kern.geom.mountver.debug: 0
	     Debug  level of the MOUNTVER GEOM class.  This can be set to a num-
	     ber between 0 and 3 inclusive.  If set to 0 minimal debug	informa-
	     tion is printed, and if set to 3 the maximum amount of debug infor-
	     mation is printed.

     kern.geom.mountver.check_ident: 1
	     This can be set to 0 or 1.  If set to 0, gmountver will reattach to
	     the device even if the device reports a different disk ID.

EXIT STATUS
     Exit status is 0 on success, and 1 if the command fails.
