I am trying to add another partition to my root drive, it has a few

Whenever I try to run fdisk -u it says cannot open disk /dev/ad0:
No such file or directory
ad0 does exist, why does fdisk say otherwise? fdisk can display the
partition table but it can't alter it.
securelevel is -1 and this is FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE from the beginning
of May this year.
Try setting
sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
before running fdisk. This stops GEOM protecting the drive/partition
and allows fdisk to open it. I think fdisk and bsdlabel have been
taught about GEOM in 6-current, but I very might well be wrong.
