Name: md2506 Mediasize: 1392508928 (1.3G) Sectorsize: 512 Mode: r0w0e0 Actually, the one I did earlier today did not work either. I did it as part of a script and did not notice the error message, which is the same... Is there a limit to the number of /dev/md devices I can have? I have 106, 2 of which are not working with this bsdlabel problem. I read the man pages for md and mdconfig and did not see any limits listed.
