I've got three drives that are indentical, and I've got them set up identically as 1 DOS partition, and 1 FreeBSD partition. The FreeBSD partition is subdivided into two filesystems, d, and e. I'm trying to redefine the FreeBSD partition into 3 filesystems b, d, and e, but I always get the error "open partition would move or shrink" when I try to change the FreeBSD partition with disklabel. The d partitions are used to create a CCD volume, but when I try to do the disklabel, I'm doing it from single user mode, before the ccdconfig -C command has executed. I tried renaming the /etc/ccd.config file, doing all this from a FreeBSD install/repair disk, and still no go. I even tried writing to the raw c slice, but it said that it was read-only. I'm running FreeBSD 3.0. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get past this? I'm starting to think that the only solution is to dump the DOS partitions as well as the FreeBSD partitions, and create new DOS and FreeBSD partitions with slightly different sizes so that FreeBSD won't be able to find anything recognizable on the disks.
