Since disklabel -B destroys your fdisk table >(which libdisk has been creating fine, even in the `dangerously >dedicated' case), your slices are invalid. The `dangerously dedicated' case should give a dummy fdisk table identical to the one that `disklabel -B' writes, so `disklabel -B' shouldn't affect the fdisk table. Bruce
