            The first answer from Iain Barker hit it.

            The disk is in LSM still.

            I must still be asleep.

            Thanks Iain,

    -------------------------------------

    Recently while trying to label / relabel a disk I ran into the following.

    disklabel -r dsk7
            disklabel: Disk /dev/rdisk/dsk7c is unlabeled

    Great, now we lable it

    disklabel -wr dsk7

      disklabel: ioctl DIOCSDINFO: Open partition would move or shrink
        Use alternate partition

    I've seen this on a labeled disk and you can clear it with

    disklabel -z dsk7
            But not this time.
                    you get disklabel: Disk /dev/rdisk/dsk7c is unlabeled

     I am running Tru64 v5.1b pk4

            Anyone have any ideas ?

    thanks in advance.
