15 _\bD_\bi_\bs_\bk_\bt_\ba_\bb is a simple database which describes disk geometries
16 and disk partition characteristics. It is used to initial-
17 ize the disk label on the disk. The format is patterned
18 after the _\bt_\be_\br_\bm_\bc_\ba_\bp(5) terminal data base. Entries in _\bd_\bi_\bs_\bk_\bt_\ba_\bb
19 consist of a number of `:' separated fields. The first
20 entry for each disk gives the names which are known for the
21 disk, separated by `|' characters. The last name given
22 should be a long name fully identifying the disk.
23
24 The following list indicates the normal values stored for
25 each disk entry.
