Managers,
   If, when attempting to newfs a disk, I get the following:
# newfs -m 1 /dev/rrz10g

Error: /dev/rrz10g or an overlapping partition is open.
Quitting ....

This is perplexing because the disk is unmounted and there are no
overlapping partitions on the disk (according to my calculations using
the data supplied by "disklabel -e /dev/rrz10g"). Does anyone have
any idea what might be going wrong?

Thank you for your help.

Darryl
