Hi,
I have the following disklabel on a disk currently holding a V5.1 root
filesystem (partition a). Partitions b and g are said to be inuse however
they are not inuse. I would like to reset them to be unused however when I
try the command "disklabel -s dsk0b unused" I get the error
"/dev/rdisk/dsk0b or an overlapping partition is open.".
I cannot reset either of the b or g partitions. Any suggestions? Naturally I
do not wish to do any serious damage to the existing disklabel as it has an
operational root filesystem on it.
