SUMMARY: disklabel question




	The first answer from Iain Barker hit it.

	The disk is in LSM still.

	I must still be asleep.

	Thanks Iain, 


-------------------------------------

Recently while trying to label / relabel a disk I ran into the following.

disklabel -r dsk7
	disklabel: Disk /dev/rdisk/dsk7c is unlabeled

Great, now we lable it

disklabel -wr dsk7

  disklabel: ioctl DIOCSDINFO: Open partition would move or shrink
    Use alternate partition

I've seen this on a labeled disk and you can clear it with 

disklabel -z dsk7
	But not this time.
		you get   disklabel: Disk /dev/rdisk/dsk7c is unlabeled

 I am running Tru64 v5.1b pk4

	Anyone have any ideas ?

thanks in advance.
