    Thanks to Stephen Carpenter I was able to solve the problem by zeroing the
    label and then recreating the file parititon:

    disklabel -z dsk12c

    Hi Managers

    I have an ES40 running Tru64 v5.1
    I also have a KZPCC Controller with 10 drives.
    I created 5 Raid 1 sets with these drives.
    When labelling the disks in Tru64, the first 4 was fine.
    However, the 5th drive set refused to be labelled giving the following
    error:

    Disklabel error while creating label. The following error(s) occured:

    partition c partition extends past end of unit
    partition g partition extends past end of unit
    partition h: offset past end of unit
    partition h partition extends past end of unit
    disklabel: error: replacement label is invalid
    while executing
    "exec /sbin/disklabel -R dsk12 /tmp/dlprotodiskparms1hbuNmH1"
    invoked from within
    "catch "exec /sbin/disklabel -R $tflag $namec $temp_file $dtype""

    Note that I have only selected a c partition but it still tells me
    errors
    referring to the oversizes of the other partitions.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards
    Andre Thompson
