UFS Growing Disks

Hello everybody,

I tried to grow a UFS Partition inside a virtualbox VM (.vhd disk format).

I went trough https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/disks-growing.html and everything was fine until

Code:
growfs /dev/ada1p3
Operation not permitted
occurred.

I googled a bit around and found following thread
and noticed that
growfs /dev/gpt/rootfs
worked smoothly.

Is this intended? Might it be a good idea to add a note to the documentation?

Best,
Tobias
 
I have the same problem here:


Maybe is that you should not be able to use growfs on mounted filesystems?
