I have been attempting to use vinum with 6 scsi drives, and have been 
unable to disklabel the 5 (da4) and 6 (da5) drives.

I can create the partitions as freebsd type, but they do not show up in 
disklabel, only c is shown.  The freebsd partitions mounted just fine.  I 
attempted to save the disklabels as a temp file, edit them and use a 
disklabel -R to write them back.  It did not work, as the operation was not 
permitted.

I removed some of the drives and was able to edit the disklabel, and things 
looked good, but when the other drives were re-attached, the label didn't 
show the e partition anymore.  What is going on?
