Thanks jlliagre.


And i shouldn't be overly concern about how the sectors add up ?


e.g. part0 last sector and part8 first sector has a gap of 8 sectors ...
part0 1st sector 0 to last sector 12502430343 > total disk sectors available

part0 sector40 to last sector 12502430343 < total disk sectors available (missing 14 sectors) etc..

NAME

       efi_fsinit - write an EFI file system header on a device file

SYNOPSIS

       devicefile]

DESCRIPTION

       writes an EFI file system header on a device 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).

       Before any other EFI commands can be run, must be run to initialize the file system on a device file.

   Options
       recognizes the following option:

       Write the file system header on device
		      devicefile.   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 EFI file system is initialized successfully.	Otherwise it prints a diagnostic message and returns nonzero.

	    0	  Successful completion.
	   >0	  Error condition occurred.

EXAMPLES

       Write an EFI file system header on device file

       Write an EFI file system header on the persistent device file (see intro(7)):
