I am using FreeBSD 8.2 and I would like to remove/add a new partition in an existing FreeBSD slice. So I am removing partition /dev/ar0s1d which is mounted on /backup3 and recreating a new larger partition however when I try to delete the partition using disk label I receive the following error. I unmounted the partition prior to deleting it and still receive the error. I don't have any security features on. Is this new to the 8.X serious as I have not had these issues in the past. Any help would be appreciated.
Code:
eagle# disklabel -e /dev/ar0s1
# /dev/ar0s1:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 526336 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0
b: 8388608 59729920 swap
c: 490094892 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit
e: 1024000 27789312 4.2BSD 0 0 0
