--nextPart2133393.7VrDXAqMhl Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Hello, again I ran into the problem that I need to edit my GPT while the system is= =20 in multiuser running. But the following doesn't work: cale:/#70: sysctl -w kern.geom.debugflags=3D16 kern.geom.debugflags: 0 -> 16 cale:/#71: gpt remove -i 8 ad0s2 gpt remove: unable to open device 'ad0s2': Operation not permitted Arrghhh. Now I have to stop all work and go into singleuser mode. Thats not= =20 acceptable! And please don't tell me that I use the wrong device, it's a=20 i386 machine so I need a MBR in ad0 and have to use GPT inside a slice! What sense does it make to forbid such modifications? Especially if I=20 enable foot-shooting?! I'd love to test a patch, I can't tell how angry I am that I have to shut=20 down the box! =2DHarry --nextPart2133393.7VrDXAqMhl Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBDC4/0Bylq0S4AzzwRAuMNAJ44iSFWHeC8P0OT8EbXZXBylug/KACdGCJN xIEQuhhM74DMXu5y3xgUF0o= =z4eG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2133393.7VrDXAqMhl--
