from man 8 disklabel:
Enabling and disabling writing to the disk label area
By default, it is not possible to write to the disk label area at the
beginning of a disk. The disk driver arranges for write(2) and similar
system calls to return EROFS on any attempt to do so. If you need to
write to this area (for example, to obliterate the label), use the form
disklabel -W disk
To disallow writing to the label area after previously allowing it, use
the command
disklabel -N disk
I've had similar problems with ext2 on raw slice. Kernel do NOT allows
to write to disklabel area, even if there is NO disklabel. You should
disklabel -W this slice. Please, someone, write if I'm right.
