nevermind. I figured this out. still, Greg is one smart guy :).
I just wish disklabel was at least a bit more user friendly. Every time I use it I have to understand it all over :)

thanx Greg, you're right as always. I booted into single user from start up and sure enough everything was editable then.
I got another problem though.
I set up 2 disks for vinum and want to allocate exisiting partitions to vinum mirrored volumes. I left 16 blocks at the begining, moved first partition ( swap ) to 281, recalculated offsets in vinum config with -16, run vinum config, everything's peachy, drives rebuild, fsck sees no errors, I edit fstab, reboot, vinum module loads but root can not be mounted as a vinum device, I still have to manually specify my regular root ( /dev/das1a ) partition. dmesg output below and vinum/disklabel too.
thanx a million. Greg for US president :)

I'm trying to setup partitions for vinum. I am in single user mode, but every time I try to modify swap size to accomodate for vinum confuration I get
disklabel: ioctl DIOCWDINFO: open partition would move or shrink re-edit the label? [y]

You can't change open partitions. You also can't unmount swap. If you go from multi-user to single user mode, the swap remains mounted. You'll need to boot to single user mode to do that.
If this doesn't answer your question, more details, please, including any log messages. Please don't wrap them.
