I am trying to set up vinum on a FreeBSD 5.0 system. To do so I need to
write the disk
label to set vinum as the file type for the partition I want to use.
The response to disklabel -e -r /dev/da0s3 is "disklabel: /dev/da0s3:
Operation not permitted"
The man page states that "disklabel -W /dev/da0s3" should make the
label writable, but I
get the same error message.
If I look at the label I get:
luke# disklabel -r /dev/da0s3
# /dev/da0s3:
type: SCSI
disk: da0s3
label:
flags:
bytes/sector: 512

d: 50730592 20951438 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28512 # (Cyl. 1304*-
4461*)
Warning, partition c doesn't start at 0!
Warning, partition c doesn't cover the whole unit!
Warning, An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system
utilities
The warnings are the same no matter what slice I look at.
Help!
