Hi all

I have reinstalled tru64 5.1a and have a parttioning question. There
are three disks dsk0 , dsk1 and dsk3

root_domain is on dsk3a
usr_domain is on dsk3g
usr_local is on dsk1c

The third disk i.e. dsk0 i want to partition in 2 partitions e.g.

dsk0b advfs
dsk0c say swap

the problem is diskconfig is showing the whole disk i.e. dsk0c as being
used as advfs i made it unused and created the partitions as i wanted
but when i reentered diskconfig or see it with disklabel it shows me
just one partition of dsk0c and is being used as advfs, some how
diskconfig is making the changes and saying that it is making the
changes permanent but is not actually doing so.

Any pointer what is going wrong here ?

Regards

-Bobby
