Hi !

I have a file system here which is on the c partition of a disk which has no
label. I used newfs to make the filesystem but I forgot to put a disklabel
on the disk before. I used the standard partitions.

My questions are:

1) Do I have to explicitly call disklabel each time I had a disk to my system ?
2) Can I call disklabel AFTER newfs or BEFORE newfs ?
3) If I have data on my disk now, can I safely call DISKLABEL or will it
wipe my entire disk ?

                                        TIA
