>Description:
I repartitioned and labeled a slice on one of my disks (wd4s1), and
sysinstall's Fdisk succeeded and then the Label failed the first
time ("Invalid Argument"). Then, after I exited sysinstall and
restarted it, Label and Newfs worked. I repeated this procedure
twice (Fdisk, Label, Newfs), and got the same results the second
time around (Label after Fdisk fails; exit sysinstall; restart;
then Label succeeds).
>How-To-Repeat:
Included in problem description. Start sysinstall, Fdisk, Label,
and Newfs a data partition. In my case at least, Label right after
Fdisk fails.
>Fix:
Exit sysinstall after Fdisk, restart, then it works. Some
sysinstall state seems to be corrupt the first time around.
