wild!

disklabel -r is brilliant!


ok so now I am getting the error that -e gave me:

-bash-2.05b# disklabel -r wd1 | disklabel -R wd1 /dev/stdin 
disklabel: ioctl DIOCWDINFO: Label magic number or checksum is wrong!
(disklabel or kernel is out of date?)

This seems wrong. I have it working now (see other email) but I am
perplexed why I get such an obviously wrong answer.
