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?
