Hi, >From newfs(8): The special file should be a raw device, for example /dev/rsd0a; if a relative path like sd0a is specified, the corresponding raw device is used.
Right now: # newfs /dev/sd5m newfs: /dev/sd5m: block device # newfs /dev/rsd5m /dev/rsd5m: blah blah works as expected So I guess it's either a relative path and a block device is fine, or if you use the absolute path, you must pick the raw device.
