[CLUE-Tech] question about fdisk

[dahanson at thegeek.nu]

See, that's the weird thing. The drive has no partitions on it, but it does 
have a BSD disklabel. When I run fdisk, it says "Detected an OSF/1 disklabel 
on /tmp/sda, entering disklabel mode." Then it gives me a "BSD disklabel 
command" prompt. It seems that the disklabel exists independently of whatever 
partitions may be on the drive.

FWIW, the BSD disklabel is preventing me from setting up the drive for sofware 
RAID, which is why I'm trying to remove it.

thanks,
Dave
