Dear FreeBSD - 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. 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.
