Thank you for the advices, however it turns out it was user error.. I swapped the drive in from an apple machine, the new drive took ada0 and my existing drive moved to ada1.
I’m just playing with ZFS at the moment and what I didn’t realise is that the system swap was still assigned to ada0p2 but of course instead of being on my new ZFS drive was instead pointing to an apple-hfs data partition on the freshly added drive. For some reason I assumed it was something to do with HFSFUSE and gpart when in actual fact it was just me not paying attention to the basics! > On 16 Apr 2020, at 18:44, Harry Schmalzbauer <free...@omnilan.de > <mailto:free...@omnilan.de>> wrote: > > Am 15.04.2020 um 20:35 schrieb i...@dijix.com <mailto:i...@dijix.com>: >> I have an issue with gpart, it will not let me delete partition ada0p2 >> responding with “Device Busy” >> The man page gpart(8) says this may be shown if a partition exists but I >> cannot seem to delete partition 2 in my case via gpart delete or gpart >> destroy >> >> This is a used disk but new to the machine, I can modify the partition type >> and create partitions before and after partition 2 but I cannot delete it. >> >> Here’s what I have tried so far: >> >> >> root@beastie:~ # gpart show >> => 34 1250263661 ada0 GPT (596G) >> 34 409606 - free - (200M) >> 409640 1249591904 2 freebsd-ufs (596G) >> 1250001544 262151 - free - (128M) >> >> => 40 976773088 ada1 GPT (466G) >> 40 1024 1 freebsd-boot (512K) >> 1064 984 - free - (492K) >> 2048 4194304 2 freebsd-swap (2.0G) >> 4196352 972576768 3 freebsd-zfs (464G) >> 976773120 8 - free - (4.0K) >> >> root@beastie:~ # gpart delete -i2 ada0 >> gpart: Device busy > : > : >> : >> root@beastie:~ # gpart destroy -F ada0 >> gpart: Device busy > > There might still be situations where 'sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16' helps, > but I never needed it in the last years (since 7.x I guess). > Are you sure p2 (-i2) of ada0, most likely home for a ufs filesystem, isn't > mounted anymore? Was it a mountpoint inside a jail?
