On my -current,elf,CAM,SMP system disklabel and DIOCWLABEL do not get along. I have an adaptec 2940UW SCSI controller with 3 hard drives on it. I was trying to label 2 of the drives for use with vinum, when I kept getting: disklabel: ioctl DIOCWLABEL: Operation not supported by device errors. Nothing helped, not even the tutorial pages related to bringing up additional drives. After a day of failures I edited /usr/src/sbin/disklabel/disklabel.c and commented out the 4 calls to ioctl with DIOCWLABEL. After that disklabel worked exactly as expected and I am happily using vinum: bls2# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s2a 39647 35784 692 98% / /dev/da0s2e 396895 253521 111623 69% /usr /dev/da0s2f 3365518 2097507 998770 68% /uss /dev/vinum/bigvol 4029406 154362 3552692 4% /ust My 'make world' and kernel are from 10/19/1998 around 1:00am. -- Brian Litzinger <brian@litzinger.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
