Wipefs device or resource busy4/25/2023 ![]() ![]() Sda 0x1fe lists many items that are called signatures… most of them zfs_member, but at the end my GPT partition table, another copy of the GPT partition table at the top of the disk, and the PMBR (protective MBR). Now, wipefs sounds like a dangerous tool, and it is, so another clonezilla backup first. much research, and I finally find a tool called wipefs which I can use to check the disk. What is going on? There must be some residue of ZFS on the disk?. when I looked at the disk from within Debian, with the Gnome-disk-utility, it looked normal, but when I looked with gparted it said the entire disk was one ZFS partition!.Then a reboot showed that i had a grub menu and could boot from that. So then from within Debian I could configure grub with update-grub. From there I booted Debian with grub> linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda4Īnd Debian booted. ![]() Then I could reboot and get the grub> prompt. Used SystemRescueCD for that.Īlso had to remove grub.cfg from the Debian filesystem, because I had reinstalled Debian to a different partition.Īlso had to edit /etc/fstab to fix the UUID’s Went ahead with clonezilla and restored my Debian filesystem and my data filesystem. I did that with gparted…made a GPT partition table and created 7 partitions … EFISystem, bios-boot, 4 x ext4 partitions, and a swap partiton. So I had to put the partitions back before I could restore filesystems. They were saveparts images - ie images of partitions. It wrote a ZFS filesystem all over my 500Gb SSD… wiped everything, even grub on the MBR.įortunately I had clonezilla backups. I was looking a TRUEOS DVD and I thought it was a live system, but it was an install DVD.
