Will relabeling disk destroy exisiting partitions on same disk?

Fellow managers,

I have got the following disk:

# /dev/rre2a:
type: SWXCR
disk: SWXCR
label:
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 32
tracks/cylinder: 128
sectors/cylinder: 4096
cylinders: 4339
sectors/unit: 17772544
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0 # milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds
drivedata: 0

8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] # NOTE:
values t
  a: 131072 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0
- )
  b: 4096000 0 swap # (Cyl. 0
- )
  c: 17772544 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0
- )
  d: 0 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0
- )
  e: 0 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0
- )
  f: 0 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0
- )
  g: 6163893 4096000 AdvFS # (Cyl. 1000
- )
  h: 7478735 10293809 AdvFS # (Cyl.
2513*- )

I want to change partition b from swap to AdvFS. Will this destroy the
exisiting g and h partition when I relabel the disk? These are currently in
use by 2 filesystems. I want to do this on the fly without unmouting the g
and h filesystems.

Thanks,

Arjen Visser
