[issue1278] disklabel64 can't label new partition


From: "Simon 'corecode' Schubert \(via DragonFly issue tracker\)" <sinknull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

New submission from Simon 'corecode' Schubert <corecode@fs.ei.tum.de>:

The kernel won't let disklabel write the label unless I've touched the slice before:

sweatshorts % sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad6
^C25372+0 records in
25371+0 records out
12989952 bytes transferred in 2.380336 secs (5457192 bytes/sec)
1 sweatshorts % sudo fdisk -IB /dev/ad6
******* Working on device /dev/ad6 *******
fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found
Warning: ending cylinder wraps, using all 1's
sweatshorts % sudo fdisk -IB /dev/ad6
******* Working on device /dev/ad6 *******
Warning: ending cylinder wraps, using all 1's
sweatshorts % sudo disklabel64 -w ad6s1 auto
disklabel64: ioctl DIOCWDINFO64: label magic number or checksum is wrong!
(disklabel or kernel is out of date?)
1 sweatshorts % dd if=/dev/ad6s1 of=/dev/null count=100
