Sorry for not mentioning that I did use the disklabel -rw /dev/re0
SWXCR. I thought it was implicit by my saying that it works fine with
ufs (A silly assumption on my part). While I don't have a solution
yet, I did get a massive e-mail response from many helpful people. I
will probably start from scratch, try it again and hope that whatever
got snagged with advfs doesn't get snagged again. Thanks again to
everyone that replied.
