Labeling USB drive error

Hi,

I want to label my USB backup drive but fail with glabel:

Code:
camcontrol devlist
<WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 51.0AB51>    at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (ada0,pass0)
<WDC WD5000AAKX-001CA0 15.01H15>   at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (ada1,pass1)
<WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 51.0AB51>    at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (ada2,pass2)
<WDC WD10EARS-003BB1 80.00A80>     at scbus3 target 0 lun 0 (ada3,pass3)
<Generic  6000>                    at scbus4 target 0 lun 0 (pass4,da0)

It's the:
Code:
<WDC WD5000AAKX-001CA0 15.01H15>   at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (ada1,pass1)

Code:
glabel label extbp /dev/ada1
glabel: Can't store metadata on /dev/ada1: Operation not permitted.

Filesystem is ntfs.

What have I forgotten?

Best regards,
bsus
 
The filesystem needs to be unmounted before you can label it.
 
Maybe the disk has been already labeled or the end of the storage is occupied so that glabel refuses to overwrite it?
 
I ain't sure what went wrong but after detaching the device it worked...

Maybe it was not unmounted properly under windows.

Thanks for the help
