I think you wanted disklabel -e -r wd0 (or maybe -R instead of -r).
This brings up something I've always wondered:
Is there ANY ever reason to update only the in-core disklabel versus
the on-disk label? If there is, I would stipulate that it doesn't
happen that damn often. Maybe we should change the defaults for disklabel
so by default it always updates the in-core and on-disk disklabel? It
sure would eliminate a lot of confusion.
