To get disklabel to function with a Iomega Jax, I had to do the following: # disklabel -R -B /dev/rda2 diskproto disklabel: Mar 4 23:01:22 funk /kernel: da2: cannot find label (no disk label) ioctl DIOCWLABEL: Operation not supported by device Mar 4 23:01:22 funk /kernel: da2s4: cannot find label (no disk label) # disklabel -R -r da2 diskproto # Now newfs functions properly. I repeated the process several times by using dd to clear the Jaz disk. If I didn't use the -R -B line before the -R -r line, the following occurs: # disklabel -R -r da2 diskproto Mar 4 23:00:39 funk /kernel: da2: cannot find label (no disk label) disklabel: No space left on device Mar 4 23:00:39 funk /kernel: da2s4: cannot find label (no disk label) # With this, as I am sure you can imagine, newfs does not function. This behaviour perplexes me, and I hope someone can point to the problem.
