Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the reply. I tried to run gpart create -s mbr ada0, I got:
gpart: geom 'ada0': Operation not permitted

Then I umount some partitions which are mounted on ada0, gpart shows partitions:
# gpart show ada0
=>       63  126189504  ada0  MBR  (60G)
         63   81919089     1  freebsd  [active]  (39G)
   81919152   44255358     2  !12  (21G)
  126174510      15057        - free -  (7.4M)


I don't know why? Did I miss something? Would you tell me, thanks.

Regards,
Dave.
