Why can I edit the disklabel on my ccd?

0

The symptom of this is: # disklabel ccd0 (it prints something sensible here, so let’s try to edit it) # disklabel -e ccd0 (edit, save, quit) disklabel: ioctl DIOCWDINFO: No disk label on disk; use “disklabel -r” to install initial label # This is because the disklabel returned by ccd is actually a `fake’ one that is not really on the disk. You can solve this problem by writing it back explicitly, as in: # disklabel ccd0 > /tmp/disklabel.tmp # disklabel -Rr ccd0 /tmp/disklabel.
