Thank you! Setting sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10 permitted me to do the work with fdisk. I tried to use sysinstall but it appears to only modify the in-core structure but not to update the disk. Perhaps sysinstall needs a few tweaks? /\/\ \/\/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
