so i guess i use
2 backup wm 0 - 3259 24.97GB (3260/0/0) 52371900
thats the first one why i was ended in GRUb,

and when I reisntall i did this
newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2,

i was totally wrong, anyway base from that i alloted 25G, i only use 21G,,
may i use my 4G???? where is it?? how to know i still have it?? how to USE it??? please help..

Using slice 2 to create a filesystem on it is a destructive action that will corrupt all existing filesystems and swap file and will likely lead to a kernel panic or similar.

slice 2 is overlapping every other slices so should only be read from, never written to.

You should have used a free slice and allocated the free disk cylinders to it instead.

yeah, i get it... ishould never use it or newfs there or partition there..


but how about my 4g? that i did not use??

Set cylinder 4 to use these 496806912 bytes (or 604 cylinder) that are currently free.

How?/

Anyway i want to see it in my eyes the available 4G???

wahts is the command can you show it to me pls..

and how to use it??

By using the format or prtvtoc/fmthard commands.
I calculated these values from this output. Everything is there:
- the number of cylinders available
- the number of cylinders used by each partition, eg. 614 for slice 0.
- the corresponding size in 512 bytes blocks, eg. 9863910 = 4931955 kB.

Cylinders 131 to 732 are free.

Code:

forgive my ignorance, i want to see all the commands i mean all the syntax..

anyway i still dont get it ,, my $g that i did not use in my installation.

i intend to set my partiton to 20g for i,can use the 4g soon..
