Basically, I really hate LSM when I have to deal with defining new disks.
I vaguely remember having this happen before, but I don't know what I did to
get around it.
The situation: Three disks set up on a DEC 2100 4/200 in SWXCR as /dev/re5c.
They're online, you can newfs it, mkfdmn it, whatever.
I want to use LSM because I wanna slice it up a bit (don't ask why, it's for
testing).
So I try to initialize the device re5c. Disk write failure. I seem to
remember something about sector 0 on the non-first disks being the culprit?
I can _define_ the disk just fine, but I can't add it to any disk group
because 'private regions are invalid.' It always comes up as LSMsimp when
you do it this way, which is probably not what one would want.
WhatdoIdo?
It's been disklabel'd many times, of course...
Thanks.
