I have installed PC-BSD 9.1 RC1 last week. Very nice I must say.
The default file system is zfs. I have one storage disk which is ufs
and another which is on an mbr partition. I thought I would format the
mbr disk with zfs and move everything from the ufs disk and then format
the ufs disk with zfs.
I have not tried the command line before so I just tried to create over
the disk with: gpart create -s gpt ada2
The message is that ada2 already exists as a file system.
The exact message would help; gpart is not a filesystem tool.
Show indicates that it is not gpt but mbr.
Then in order to start over I tried to delete and destroy by starting
with:
gpart delete -i 1 ada2s1
The message is that ada2s1 is an invalid argument.
I cannot experiment on my backup as it has only one disk.
gpart takes a -F option to destroy which makes it unnecessary to delete
all the partitions first. Back up data first, and make certain that you
and the computer agree on which drive is which.
Great. My storage disks are formatted with zfs and my files are moved.
Thanks.
