Hi... I've just plugged in two newish drives into my machine, and can't get a label written to disk using disklabel. The system has two NCR SCSI controllers in it, and I'm able to edit the disklabel's on the previously existing drives, but I can't do a disklabel on either sd2 or sd6, which are the two new drives... ncr0 <ncr 53c810 scsi> rev 2 int a irq 12 on pci0:11 (ncr0:0:0): "SEAGATE ST32151N 0284" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ncr0:0:0): Direct-Access sd0(ncr0:0:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8. 2049MB (4197405 512 byte sectors) (ncr0:1:0): "CONNER CFP1060S 1.05GB 243F" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(ncr0:1:0): Direct-Access sd1(ncr0:1:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8. 1013MB (2074880 512 byte sectors) (ncr0:2:0): "SEAGATE ST3390N 9571" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd2(ncr0:2:0): Direct-Access sd2(ncr0:2:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8. 324MB (665154 512 byte sectors) ncr1 <ncr 53c810 scsi> rev 1 int a irq 11 on pci0:13 (ncr1:0:0): "QUANTUM FIREBALL1280S 630C" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd3(ncr1:0:0): Direct-Access sd3(ncr1:0:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8. 1222MB (2503872 512 byte sectors) (ncr1:1:0): "QUANTUM LPS340S 020B" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd4(ncr1:1:0): Direct-Access sd4(ncr1:1:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8. 327MB (670506 512 byte sectors) (ncr1:2:0): "QUANTUM LP240S GM240S01X 4.6" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd5(ncr1:2:0): Direct-Access sd5(ncr1:2:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8. 234MB (479350 512 byte sectors) (ncr1:6:0): "QUANTUM LP240S GM240S01X 6.4" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd6(ncr1:6:0): Direct-Access sd6(ncr1:6:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8. 234MB (479350 512 byte sectors) I've read through the man pages, I *think* I have the right format for disklabel...and have tried the following on both of the drives: hub# disklabel sd6 disklabel: ioctl DIOCGDINFO: Invalid argument hub# disklabel -r sd6 disklabel: /dev/rsd6c: Undefined error: 0 hub# disklabel -w -r sd6 auto disklabel: /dev/rsd6c: Undefined error: 0 Since dmesg/bootup finds the drives, and is able to probe them, I'm assuming that I, in fact, am using the wrong format for disklabel... Can anyone comment on this? If it something I'm overlooking? Thanks for any help...
