Thanks for your reply. Are the results below expected?

Tried -w:

# mbrlabel -w sd0
Found unknown partition; size 168689522 (82367 MB), offset 1869771365
 adding unknown partition to slot b.
Found unknown partition; size 1869881465 (913028 MB), offset 1701519481
 adding unknown partition to slot c.
Found unknown partition; size 0 (0 MB), offset 2573
 adding unknown partition to slot e.

5 partitions:

Updating in-core disk label.



Then tried -w -r.

No change; not updating disk label.
