I would love to sit down on this and just port it to NetBSD … but this month time is my ‘valuable’ thing - and I need to provide some things that I need to do for a living - please try and share what you found to work - I would really like to make lsblk(8) also work on NetBSD - as if FreeBSD would not exist - the NetBSD UNIX is the system I would be using instead :)
Yeah, I looked deeper into it and there’s just too many differences between each system to make a completely portable *BSD script. Well, is out of scope for my skills at least.
I whipped up a quick and dirty script that sort of emulates lsblk on NetBSD…
Is there some alternative command for labels on NetBSD?
gpt show sd0andgpt show -l sd0will show partition labels (if using GPT)Could also use
dkctl sd0 listwedgesto show wedge names…I’ll have a little play and see what might work best

Not my finest, but it works on my machine
NetBSD-lsblk.sh
Thanks - I tried it under NetBSD in FreeBSD Bhyve VM - but no luck for me:
netbsd# uname -prsm NetBSD 10.1 amd64 x86_64 netbsd# ./lsblk.NetBSD DEV LABEL FS SIZE USED USE% MOUNT ---------------------------------------------------------------------- disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Inappropriate ioctl for device
