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, R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
