Recreating labels with gpart(8) Well, as stated, a bsdlabel from 7.2-RELEASE does not complain. Let's not yet assume the disk label is broken and instead look at the tool. John: Can you send me the output of "gpart show da0" and "gpart show da0s1". Could you also send me (or make available for download) a binary dump of sectors 0 (the MBR), 63 and 64 (the disklabel in slice 1). If it's the tool, I'll see about fixing it...
