I have a USB disk that I partitioned with fdisk and bsdlabel. I used the -w= option of bsdlabel to write a standard label. The label itself looks fine: # bsdlabel da0s1 # /dev/da0s1: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 7823576 16 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28528 c: 7823592 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't= edit What puzzles me are the entries I see under /dev/da* # ll /dev/da0* crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 181 Dec 3 15:29 /dev/da0 crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 183 Dec 3 15:29 /dev/da0s1 crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 185 Dec 3 15:29 /dev/da0s1a crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 185 Dec 3 15:29 /dev/da0s1a crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 186 Dec 3 15:29 /dev/da0s1c crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 192 Dec 3 15:29 /dev/da0s1ca Why are there two da0s1a entries and this da0s1ca entry? That doesn't look = right to me.
