+this:
+</p>
+
+<pre caption="Error message from fdisk">
+        There is a valid AIX label on this disk.
+        Unfortunately Linux cannot handle these
+        disks at the moment.  Nevertheless some
+        advice:
+        1. fdisk will destroy its contents on write.
+        2. Be sure that this disk is NOT a still vital
+           part of a volume group. (Otherwise you may
+           erase the other disks as well, if unmirrored.)
+        3. Before deleting this physical volume be sure
+           to remove the disk logically from your AIX
+           machine.  (Otherwise you become an AIXpert).
