Hello,
I try to create a zfs file system according to
"Creating a Basic ZFS File System" section of
"Creating a Basic ZFS File System" document of SUN.
The problem is that the device has a ufs filesystem the partiotion
I am trying to work with; it is in fact empty and does not contain any
file which I need.
So:
zpool create tank /dev/dsk/c1d0s6
invalid vdev specification
use '-f' to override the following errors:
/dev/dsk/c1d0s6 contains a ufs filesystem.
/dev/dsk/c1d0s6 is normally mounted on /MyPartition according to
/etc/vfstab. Please remove this entry to use this device.
So I removed this entry from /etc/vfstab and also unmounted the
/MyPartition partition.
than I tried:
zpool create -f tank /dev/dsk/c1d0s6
internal error: No such device
Abort (core dumped)
But:
"zpool list" gives:
NAME SIZE USED AVAIL CAP HEALTH ALTROOT
tank 1.94G 51.5K 1.94G 0% ONLINE -
is there any reason for this "internal error: No such device" ?
Is there something wrong here which I should do in a different way ?
from "man zpool create -f"
The command verifies that each device specified is
accessible and not currently in use by another subsys-
tem. There are some uses, such as being currently
mounted, or specified as the dedicated dump device, that
prevents a device from ever being used by ZFS. Other
uses, such as having a preexisting UFS file system, can
be overridden with the -f option.

-f
Forces use of vdevs, even if they appear in use or
specify a conflicting replication level. Not all
devices can be overridden in this manner.
