(Sorry about the previous message, my fingers slipped on the send-button...)
I have a disk re0 which contains / (re0a), /usr (re0g) and swap (re0b)
partitions. re0h is unused and I've been trying to get into use. When
I type the command
mkfdmn /dev/re0h tmp_domain
I get the following error message:
mkfdmn: can't get device size; can't figure out file system partition; I/O
error
mkfdmn: can't create new domain 'tmp_domain'
The disklabel looks like this:
# /dev/rre0c:

I'm using Digital Unix V4.0b and the disk in question is striped with
RAID0.
I must be doing a trivial error here...
