fixing disklabel dsk* number

[kdea@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello Managers,

This might be chalked up as obsessive anal retention...

I have a DS20 with 5.1A, no biggie.  The disk was replaced, however the new
disk that was put in got the disklabel of dsk7, whereas the old bad disk
was dsk6.  I believe it should rightly get disk6 since the scsi chain
recognizes and labels it as the 6th device on the chain.  Somewhere,
somehow, the dsk6 label is still taken up.  I can see all the
/dev/disk/dsk6* devices still there.

I mucked around with "disklabel -z", "hwmgr -delete", and "dsfmgr -D",
until finally I ended up with the disklabel dsk8!

How will I go about deleting all the extra /dev/disk/dsk6 through dsk8
stuff, and clear out everything so that the next time I restart this thing,
that my brand new disk will get the disklabel of dsk6?

Thanks in advance,

Kevin
