First, a quick warning to beadm users:
If you have
upgraded to 14.0
and you boot from ZFS
and you ran zpool upgrade on your root ZFS pool
and you beadm activate a pre-14.0 snapshot
then you may be in for some pain :'‑(
How did I get here:
My FreeBSD system uses UEFI, I boot from ZFS and I...
I created raidz with labels and geoms /dev/ada1pX /dev/ada2pX /dev/ada3pX /dev/ada3pX as well as /dev/gpt/$labels existed before reboot.
It was like this:

Hello. I have a problem installing FreeBSD 13.1. When partitioning the disk, I have the problem that you see in the photo. Invalid argument. I checked both on VM and on another disk. I tried to reinstall MBR, it didn't help. It's the same in gpart. Creating a part of any type does not work. I...
I have a 64GB GPT disk image file with multiple partitions. I shrank the last (and the largest) partition and now have a free space of 32GB at the end.
Now I'd like to shrink the entire image file. If I simply run truncate -s 32g disk.img, gpart doesn't like it and reports "No such geometry"...

I've added a fancy new NVMe storage device to my system. I wish to install an operating system on it. To achieve this, I believe I should:
Setup a GPT partition table scheme
Create an NTFS partition within the GPT table scheme
Reboot and use a prepared USB to install my new operating...
I would like to multi-boot FreeBSD[13.1-RESEASE], OpenBSD[7.1] and Debian[sid] on my SSD.
Before doing it on physical disks, I tried it on VirtualBox on my FreeBSD-13.1-RELEASE.
I installed OpenBSD on ada0p4 with full disk encryption.
To do/practice it twice, I booted into FreeBSD, delete and...
I'm trying to format my external disk with ZFS filesystem. I've search and found several guides using different tools. Since sysutils/gpart is used in handbook, it seems FreeBSD prefer it than other tools. So, I'd like to know what's the difference and I'd like to make sure the commands I used...
Hi, I am running the following build against the stable/13 source branch:
cd /usr/src
git clone -b stable/12 --depth 1 https://git.freebsd.org/src.git /usr/src
cd release
sh release.sh -c $HOME/BBB.conf
The error I get looks as follows on the command line...
When gdisk(8) adds the first partition to a disk, it defaults to 1 M free space before the partition, for example:
root@mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd:~ # gpart show da4
=> 34 976773101 da4 GPT (466G)
34 2014 - free - (1.0M)

I need to resize the / without losing data, I believe I will need to do this with a FreeBSD LIVE distro, but I'm concerned about the lack of experience with gpart.
Below is the disk partition table >
root@FreeBSD:~ # gpart show ada1
=> 63 468862065 ada1 MBR (224G)

I have a FreeBSD 13.0 bhyve VM running on a FreeBSD 13.0 host. Originally, The VM was created with a 64 GB disk but I increased that to 128 GB.
When logging into the VM, I see that the disk was indeed resized correctly:
root@poudriere01:~ # gpart show -lp
=> 40 268435440 vtbd0 GPT...
Hello everyone. I have a computer with Windows, Arch and Lubuntu and all these systems are booting from a Multi-Boot. Recently, I decided to download freebsd for some tests and decided to put the OS in my multi-boot. I allocated 20 GB, installed in UEFI/GPT and made 3 partitions from UFS...
Hi daemons,
I created a new partition:
sudo gpart add -t freebsd-swap -i 2 ada 2
sudo swapon /dev/ada2p2
It works great but, the whole partition is of 400G but, htop only shows `66.0G`
Why is that?
Hello fellow FreeBSD users,
I try to mount a USB stick to recover a geli key.
This stick has a full install and I used to boot on it and run FreeBSD (version 7 or 8).
When I created it I did not use slices and make it dedicated (I forgot why).
The server hardware is broken and I can't boot on an...
Hello,
I had the following partition scheme:
ada0:
ada0p1 freebsd-boot
ada0p2 freebsd-swap
ada0p3 freebsd-zfs
ada0p3 had a size of ~1TB, and after I resized this partition to 500GB using gpart, the boot loader cannot found my zfs pool. What should I do to fix my boot loader and my zfs pool...
Hi all.
Using ZFS raidz quite a lot in my work; I used to give zfs whole disks as it is told ZFS love to manage itself entire disks.
Unfortunately this way of managing disks leads to disks without labels/partitions scheme : the partition table remains clear , so it not clearly visible to...
Hi,
I am planning to do a bare-metal installation of FreeBSD 12.1 on a intel 330 SSD which already contain Devuan 3.0 Linux on UEFI-GPT system. I'm planning to install Gnome 3. I tried running the installer and manual mode in bsdinstall seems to me, confusing. It is asking for entire disk or...
Hello,
I've tried using FreeBSD but due to a lot of unsupported software and a few strange interactions with my CPU I simply wish to install another operating system. On Linux this would be easy, just use 'dd if=myiso.iso of=/dev/sdb (my ssd partition)'. However, when I tried to do this on...

I have an issue with gpart, it will not let me delete partition ada0p2 responding with “Device Busy”
The man page gpart(8) says this may be shown if a partition exists but I cannot seem to delete partition 2 in my case via gpart delete or gpart destroy
