I'm running the system with two (hardware) virtual volumes (4 disks). I tried to add a partition (with /stand/sysinstall) to idad1s1. This should become idad1s1f but when I try to "w"rite the changes to disk the following error appears: "ERROR: Unable to write data to disk idad1!" Unfortunately I'm not able to add any new partitions, why, what's wrong? Is it possible that this problem is due because I have a swap partition on this disk? What can I do? P.S I'm doing this over ssh network access, it would be nice if I could resolve this from distance. Any ideas, hints or anything is welcome, because I need to resolve the problem very fast! Many thx
