I'm trying to make several changes to my disklabel at once.  If I try
to do it with -R to read in a file I get disklabel: ioctl DIOCWDINFO:
Open partition would move or shrink

So I used -E and used the interactive editor, which let me get through
the same edits without complaining about anything, then when I did q
gave the same error and dumped everything.  It doesn't say which
partition would change and I can't spot it, doesn't give you the
option to stay in the editor or save to a file.  I guess I have to
make one change at a time or make one and write it with w before the
next one.  I thought I was getting away with something until the last
minute.  Seems like on that error it could stay in the editor, maybe
even narrow down the problem better in the error message.  Don't quit
unless the write was successful?
