New submission from Thomas Nikolajsen <thomas.nikolajsen@mail.dk>:
Changing disk label from disklabel to disklabel64 format
or vice versa needs reboot (or disk change, eg natacontrol detach / attach)=
..
This has worked without reboot earlier,
as described in disklabel(8) & disklabel64(8);
problem was introduced with devfs as I remeber.
Problem seems to be that in kernel disklabel survives
erasure of label on device (disklabel -W .. / dd if=3D/dev/zero of=3DDISK .=
..)
