Hi I've used format's "volname" command to give labels to my drives according to their physical location. I did quite a lot of work labeling all my drives (I couldn't figure out which controller got which numbers so I had to disconnect drives one by one, and they're not hotpluggable => lot's of reboots). However, when I created a zpool of the drives all the labels vanished! Since I didn't write them down elsewhere I have to do it all over. Except that now it won't let me: > format> volname > Unable to get current partition map. > Cannot label disk while its partitions are in use as described. > format>
I get the same error message even if the device is offline (i.e., "zpool offline <pool> <device>"). Am I doing something wrong, or is format just giving me the finger for no reason?
