Actually I changed a sysctl setting (sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16) and I was able to delete/create the partition. Now I am stuck trying to create the slices.

I rebooted after creating them. __________________________________________________________ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
