Hello Admin Guru's,

I did the mkfdmn command, mistakenly, before I did the disklabel. Now
subsequent mkfdmn commands fail. Were on a fresh install of TRU64 5.1A sp1,
firmware 6.0. The correct sequence would have been:

        root2: hwmgr -view dev | grep dsk9
           59: /dev/disk/dsk9c SWXCR ctlr-2-unit-0
        root2: disklabel -wrt advfs dsk9
        root2: mkfdmn dsk9c db1_dmn

Which now fails as:
        /dev/disk/dsk9c or an overlapping partition is open.
        Quitting ....
        mkfdmn: can't create new domain 'db1_dmn'

There's no directory or symbolic link under /etc/fdmns. I've tried rmfdmn,
disklabel -z dsk9, and advscan -g db1_dmn ...which replied with:
        /dev/disk/dsk9c or an overlapping partition is open.
        Quitting ....
        mkfdmn: can't create new domain 'db1_dmn'

Things look pretty much the same for dsk9a to dsk9h under /dev/disk/ and
/dev/rdisk. disklabel -er dsk9 editing "unused" to "AdvFS" had the same
results. Any ideas what to try next?
