Jeff old mate I assume you used format -e?

Have you tried swapping the label back to SMI and then back to EFI?

I need to delete two alternate cylinders...


The existing disk in the pool (c7d0s0):
Part      Tag    Flag     Cylinders         Size            Blocks
  0       root    wm       1 - 19453      149.02GB    (19453/0/0) 312512445

The new disk, which was a zpool before I destroyed that pool:
Part      Tag    Flag     Cylinders         Size            Blocks
  0 unassigned    wm       0                0         (0/0/0)             0
  1 unassigned    wm       0                0         (0/0/0)             0
  2     backup    wu       0 - 19453      149.03GB    (19454/0/0) 312528510
  3 unassigned    wm       0                0         (0/0/0)             0
  4 unassigned    wm       0                0         (0/0/0)             0
  5 unassigned    wm       0                0         (0/0/0)             0
  6 unassigned    wm       0                0         (0/0/0)             0
  7 unassigned    wm       0                0         (0/0/0)             0
  8       boot    wu       0 -     0        7.84MB    (1/0/0)         16065
  9 alternates    wm       1 -     2       15.69MB    (2/0/0)         32130

Format won't let me remove the two cylinders from slice 9:
partition> 0
Part      Tag    Flag     Cylinders         Size            Blocks
  0 unassigned    wm       0                0         (0/0/0)             0

Enter partition id tag[unassigned]: root
Enter partition permission flags[wm]:
Enter new starting cyl[3]: 1
Enter partition size[0b, 0c, 1e, 0.00mb, 0.00gb]: 19453c

Warning: Partition overlaps alternates partition. Specify different 
start cyl.
partition> 9
`9' is not expected.

How can I delete the alternate cylinders, or otherwise mirror c7d1 to 
c7d0?  Or can I safely use c7d0s2?

Thanks,
--JeffV
