Here is the original question....

We edit the disklabel on a 4 GB disk, partition 'a' 1.5 gb, partition 'b'
2.5 GB. We made a domain (Temporary domain) with the fisrt partition ('a')
and a fileset. When we remove the domain, we had this error "write error :
No space left on device" but the remove work fine .

ENOSPC (No space left on device) is typically used when
	a process attempts to write beyond the end of a disk
	partition.  Verify that the B partition doesn't go past
	end of the disk.  Also, had you edited the label between	
	when the domain was created and when it was removed?
	If not, AdvFS was probably using the original size, but
	the driver enforced the new size.
I send to alan my disklabel...

One thing unusual is that you have no C partition.  Programs
that do disk things will often assume that C is the entire
disk and will use it for management operations.  By not
having a C partition, those programs could have problems.

I edit my disk label and add the 'C' partition. All work fine after...
