My original question was about which disklabel I should use for a new AtlasIII
18gig drive in my Alpha server, but I should have asked what drive type instead
of disklabel, anyway, after simply inserting the new drive in the cabinet, then
doing a MAKEDEV for that drive SCSI ID, a "disklabel -p" returned an existing
disklabel with a type of QM318000 and everything seems to have been done
automatically, I haven't edited that disklabel yet, but I guess it should work fine.
So basically, the system finds the drive when it is inserted, and puts a
disklabel on it automatically, after detecting the drive type by itself, without
input from us, then all we have to do is to customize that disklabel.
At least that's what it looks like at the moment, unless I'm mistaken.
