q1: There are 34 sectors of 512 bytes, but, assuming 4096 bytes actual sectors, that makes 34 * 512 / 4096 = 4.25 sectors (of 4096 bytes each).
q2: Yes I did.
Hi jlliagre,
Thanks for the confirmation. I am sorry to ask, i got a 6.4 SSD but just appear to be 5.82TB usable.
Using auto-configure, the partition table look as below.
From 0 to 12502430343 in partition 0, the amount of sectors 12502430344 seems to be more then the total available sectors 12502430317
Still got no idea where did i lost my 800GB of space...

efi_rm
efi_rm(1M)efi_rm(1M)NAME
efi_rm - remove an EFI file
SYNOPSIS
devicefile] file
DESCRIPTION
removes an EFI file.
The EFI file system is based on the FAT file system and used by the Itanium-based system BIOS to locate an HP-UX bootloader. See efi(4).
devicefile should be the device file for the EFI volume.
If file is a directory, prints a diagnostic message and returns without removing the directory; use efi_rmdir(1M) to remove EFI directo-
ries. file should be relative to the root of the EFI volume specified by devicefile, not to an HP-UX file system.
Options
recognizes the following option:
devicefile is the device special file of the EFI file system from which the file is to be removed. Without the option, uses the device
file specified in the environment variable if it is defined. The option overrides the environment variable.
RETURN VALUE
returns exit code 0 if the file is removed successfully. Otherwise it prints a diagnostic message and returns nonzero.
0 Successful completion.
>0 Error condition occurred.
EXAMPLES
Remove from of device file which contains an EFI file system:
Remove from of persistent device file (see intro(7)), which contains an EFI file system:
