Partition refuses to delete!

I have a partition that refuses to delete. It is empty, I have double-triple checked, but when I try and delete it from the GUI or command line I get the following error...     0107082a:3:...

That did it!

 

 

Even though we were issuing the reload command, it was not updating the binary image of the system. So the reboot was reading the binary and not the text files.

 

 

The corrective action was to:

 

1) remove any vestiges of the partition from all the files under /config

 

2) touch /service/mcpd/forceload

 

3) reboot

 

 

Once done, the partition was gone - finally.

 

 

Thanks a lot!
