Appendix B. The DOS link plug-in

The DOS plug-in is the most commonly used EVMS segment manager plug-in. The DOS plug-in supports DOS disk partitioning as well as:

  • OS/2 partitions that require extra metadata sectors.

  • Embedded partition tables: SolarisX86, BSD, and UnixWare.

The DOS plug-in reads metadata and constructs segment storage objects that provide mappings to disk partitions.
