GEOM_JOURNAL: Timeout. Journal gjournal XXXX cannot be completed.

[Laszlo Nagy]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a new disk to my system. I'm ready with labeling the 
disk. It is an SCSI device with and UFS partition and a SWAP partition. 
The swap is turned off, and I would like to use it as journal space. 
There is a screenshot attached showing what happens after entering 
single user mode. swaps are turned off, and the journal cannot be 
initialized. The message says:

GEOM_JOURNAL: Timeout. Journal gjournal 2578807269 cannot be completed.

Why is that?

Thanks,

   Laszlo
