1) Correct 2) The drive *shouldn't* be in use, it's not mounted. Actually, there are 3 drives causing me the same trouble. da0,da1 and da2. da3 and da4 are the drives the system is installed on. The 3 problem drives aren't mounted, so I'm not sure what they're doing. I ran sysctl -b kern.geom.confxml - Not quite sure what I'm supposed to be looking for or doing here. All 5 of my drives are listed. Does that mean anything in particular? --- Joshua Oreman <oremanj@webserver.get-linux.org> > I'll assume two things. > 1) You're running 5.x. > 2) The drive is in use (somehow). FS mounted?
