Hello,

When I run sudo fl.ops setup.nvme boot I get the following response.

executing from /usr/local/etc/udx.d/static

gpart: No such geom: nvd0.

nvme0: WD Blue SN580 1TB

nvme0ns1 (953869MB)

gpart: No such geom: nvd0.

Mon Mar 11 15:18:15 PDT 2024|/usr/local/etc/udx.d/static/fl.ops: adding GPT partition to nvd0 ...

gpart: geom 'nvd0': Operation not permitted

Mon Mar 11 15:18:15 PDT 2024|/usr/local/etc/udx.d/static/fl.ops: error: failed creating gpt partition ...

I did use the "SIMPLE" take over the whole disk method. All of the steps prior to "sudo fl.ops setup.nvme boot" seemed to complete correctly.

I'm thinking that I need to delete the first ZSF pool that I created on nvme0 and start over.  I only know enough to be dangerous!

Any advise will be appreciated.

What does “sudo gpart show nvd0” show?

And “dmesg | grep nv”?

Good morning

sudo gpart show nvd0

gpart: No such geom: nvd0.

sudo dmesg | grep nv

GEOM: nvd0: the primary GPT table is corrupt or invalid.
GEOM: nvd0: using the secondary instead -- recovery strongly advised.

This was the last two lines of about 1.5 screens of text. I did not want to over load my reply.  I will be happy to post more of it if necessary.

Thanks for your attention.

Looks like the partition table on your NVME drive is corrupt somehow.

You can try recreating it with:

sudo gpart destroy -F nvd0
sudo gpart create -s GPT nvd0

Then reboot and retry the same commands from my message above to see if you get better results.

Might also be worth trying reseating the NVME drive physically.

apnar,

When I try the recreation I get the following.

[admin@eisy ~]$ sudo gpart destroy -F nvd0

gpart: arg0 'nvd0': Invalid argument

[admin@eisy ~]$ sudo gpart create -s nvd0

gpart: Invalid number of arguments.

[admin@eisy ~]$.

I will go back over everything  again and see where I messed up.

Thank you for your help.

This is fun!
