I have two swap partitions, ad4s1b is part of my main slice, and ad6s1b is on a second drive. The permissions are the same, but I can't overwrite the second one. The same thing happens whether I use swapoff or reboot into single user mode. What's the difference? # dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/ad4s1b bs=1m dd: /dev/ad4s1b: end of device 4097+0 records in 4096+0 records out 4294967296 bytes transferred in 245.745739 secs (17477281 bytes/sec) # dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/ad6s1b bs=1m dd: /dev/ad6s1b: Operation not permitted 1+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes transferred in 0.053829 secs (0 bytes/sec) # ls -l /dev/ad*1b crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 125 Oct 25 00:25 /dev/ad4s1b crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 132 Oct 24 20:23 /dev/ad6s1b
