Hi Sir,

I plan to add a new disk to the
existing service. I put the disk
in secondary master and copy the
template of the wd0 using disklabel -r > file.
I manually edited the file to wd2s1
and keep the remaining data the same.
Then I MAKEDEV wd2s1a to create all
the related dev files for wd2 slice entries.
Then I disklabel -Rr wd2 file to put
the new label into wd2.

Now when I ran newfs /dev/rwd2s1e or g or f
I got DEVICE NOT CONFIGURED. My server needs
to run 24 hrs and I hesitate to take it off
line. I have no problem to newfs /dev/rwd2e or f
or g. I want to use the same slice as wd0 to
have a mirror disk. Is there anyway I can
do without shutdown the system?

Below is my layout file:

# /dev/rwd2c:
type: ESDI
disk: wd2s1
label: 
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 64
sectors/cylinder: 4032
cylinders: 620

rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0		# milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0	# milliseconds
drivedata: 0 

8 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
