Not able to remove disks, "pool is busy"

[chris]

I did not remove all of the partitions before using the disks in a zpool.
I tried dd, removing zfs-fuse, etc.  They still come back corrupted.
create/destroy -f both fail.  I just want to redo what I did and make it
clean.

Thanks
Chris

I pulled your email aside, as I'm on the road a lot, without access to 
my notes.  I have ran into a similar problem a while back and couldn't 
remember until I got back to some of my notes.

This worked for me on a Debian system, and I'm guessing on most *nix 
types.  First I believe that zfs-fuse tracks its disks using a uuid 
identifier, so if you change that on the drive, it thinks it is getting 
a new drive. Second, and this may be over kill, I repartitioned my 
"corrupted" drive and then put a new file system on it, then I 
successfully reintroduced it into the pool.

This page gives details of how-to on Ubuntu, which works great with 
Debian too.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1378527

HTH,
