I've been trying to disklabel a virgin 37gig wd disk for a while with
no success.
# disklabel -e wd1
disklabel: ioctl DIOCWDINFO: No disk label on disk;
use "disklabel -r" to install initial label
re-edit the label? [y]: n
# disklabel -e -r wd1
disklabel: no disk label
# disklabel -r wd1
disklabel: no disk label
I can fdisk it with fdisk -i, so its not like the disk can't be
written to at all. I just can't get anything useful on it.
Is it a case of RTFM or TFP doesn't work any more? ;-)
