For one partition on my disks I get the following error when I
try to use dd(1):
kernel: dscheck(#ad/0x20010): fixlabel: raw partition size > slice size
kernel: fixlabel: raw partition offset != slice offset
I also get a message that the output is read-only. (It is an unmounted
partition, /dev/ad2s1a.) I can newfs the partition and mount it,
though.

I have looked at sources for this message, but have not been able to
find it so far.

Can anyone give me a pointer as to just what it means? Is it ad0, or
ad2? The raw partition size is only 100 MB and the slice size is 13
GB. This is the a partition, so should be at the start of the slice. I
can do the same operation to all other partitions on the disk with no
problems.

This is the third time I've asked about this, but I now have
eliminated most other possibilities, so the question is simplified and
I'm just hoping that it will ring a bell with someone. I'm starting
to get desperate.

Thanks,
