On a Sun IPX I was previously able to partition and label a Fujitsu 1.2 GB  
drive without difficulty.  Now I a am unable to label a new partition on the  
same drive.  It appears to want to write the label to a block that doesn't  
exist.  Any suggestions? 

please respond to xns@nwu.edu...

 The following are some of the error messages:
Partition> label
Ready to label disk, continue? y

urrent partition table (original sd1):
        partition a - starting cyl      0, # blocks    15300 (12/0/0)
        partition b - starting cyl     12, # blocks   107100 (84/0/0)
        partition c - starting cyl      0, # blocks  2108850 (1654/0/0)
        partition d - starting cyl     96, # blocks   127500 (100/0/0)
        partition e - starting cyl    196, # blocks   408000 (320/0/0)
        partition f - starting cyl    516, # blocks   859350 (674/0/0)
        partition g - starting cyl   1190, # blocks   591600 (464/0/0)
        partition h - starting cyl      0, # blocks        0 (0/0/0)


NOTE THAT THERE ARE ONLY 2108850 TOTAL BLOCKS BUT LABEL TRIES TO WRITE TO BLOCK  
2111018.
