Hi gang, I used /stand/sysinstall to partition, label and mkfs an additional SCSI disk in my machine. I also allowed it to start installing from the distribution CD before killing /stand/sysinstall. (I did this because I can't figure out how to get mkfs to happen otherwise...) Anyway, the "a" slice seems to have a read-only bit hidden in it somewhere. I have tried to mount it as both /tmp and /var, and both times I have been unable to write in this directory as a not-root user. Permissions are the same as the original directory from what I can tell, so all I can figure is there is a hidden flag somewhere.
