Ian,
The first error is correct in that zpool-create will not, unless
forced, create a file system if it knows that another filesystem
presides in the target vdev.
The second error was caused by your removal of the slice.
What I find discerning is that the zpool created.
Can you provide the result of "zpool status" and list of the disk
partition table? If it's indeed carved from c1d0s6, can you destroy
the pool and see if the same creation sequence indeed creates the
zpool?

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.
