Howdy all,
I have a 433au that has been *adjusted* somehow using the
Disk Configuration Manager so that partition h is not available.
The DC Manager now returns an error ...
Disklabel failed to write label. Please refer to disklabel
documentation for more information.
But disklabel does not seem to offer help. The reported label
looks like a naked disk so I guess that the configuration used actually
lives in memory rather than on the disk... Err at this point I
get confused due to almost total lack of knowledge. This is what
disklabel says..
# /dev/rrz16a:
type: SCSI
disk: RZ1BB-BS

h: 1858632 2251848 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 1636*- 2987*)
I have tried disklabel -W but with no change.
Any suggestions?
TIA
