Hi
I have a USB external hard disk that was NTFS formatted. I wanted to create a ZFS pool on the drive to use for backups.
To get rid of the NTFS, I tried:
Edit:I seem to be able to mount the zpool and still use it without creating any partition.
Question: What is the correct way to mount/unmount the USB device that I am using for a zpool?
Thanks

I have a USB external hard disk that was NTFS formatted. I wanted to create a ZFS pool on the drive to use for backups.
To get rid of the NTFS, I tried:
# gpart destroy -f /dev/da0
. Then, it seems /dev/da0 has completely disappeared from my devices. After a reboot, /dev/da0 is back in my device list. However, I cannot create anything on the disk via # gpart create -s mbr /dev/da0
.Edit:I seem to be able to mount the zpool and still use it without creating any partition.
