I had problems using disklabel to label some brand new SCSI disks.
I am using 2.1-951005-SNAP. I have not tried it on 2.0.5-RELEASE.

# disklabel -r sd2c
disklabel: /dev/rsd2c: No such file or directory
FreeBSD# disklabel -r sd2
disklabel: /dev/rsd2c: Undefined error: 0
FreeBSD# disklabel -W sd2
FreeBSD# disklabel -r sd2
disklabel: /dev/rsd2c: Undefined error: 0
FreeBSD# disklabel -w sd2 ST15230N
disklabel: ioctl DIOCWDINFO: No disk label on disk;
use "disklabel -r" to install initial label
FreeBSD# disklabel -w -r sd2 ST15230N
disklabel: /dev/rsd2c: No such file or directory

FreeBSD# dmesg

There are two disk are labeled at installation time; so they can be
recognized. There are other two disks not labeled, and won't be labeled
after installation at all.
Is there any way to label these new disks under FreeBSD?

Thanks for any advice.
