I am trying to set up vinum on a FreeBSD 5.0 system. To do so I need to write the disk label to set vinum as the file type for the partition I want to use. The response to disklabel -e -r /dev/da0s3 is "disklabel: /dev/da0s3: Operation not permitted" The man page states that "disklabel -W /dev/da0s3" should make the label writable, but I get the same error message. If I look at the label I get: luke# disklabel -r /dev/da0s3 # /dev/da0s3: type: SCSI disk: da0s3 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 255 sectors/cylinder: 16065 cylinders: 4462 sectors/unit: 71686144 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] b: 8388608 12562830 swap # (Cyl. 782 - 1304*) c: 59119200 12562830 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 782 - 4461) d: 50730592 20951438 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28512 # (Cyl. 1304*- 4461*) Warning, partition c doesn't start at 0!
