Solaris 8 metainit space issue

I am trying to create soft partition

Code:
metaclear -r d109
metainit  d109 -p d100 -o 178423817 -b 33554432

Code:
After i did this i saw the df -k
/dev/md/dsk/d109           0 779600337       0     0%    /test


df -k shows that it is full? also i have tried adding no logging entry in /etc/vfstab but still the same .

metaclear(1M)						  System Administration Commands					     metaclear(1M)

NAME
metaclear - delete active metadevices and hot spare pools SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/metaclear -h /usr/sbin/metaclear [-s setname] -a [-f] /usr/sbin/metaclear component /usr/sbin/metaclear [-s setname] [-f] metadevice... hot_spare_pool... /usr/sbin/metaclear [-s setname] -r [-f] metadevice... hot_spare_pool... /usr/sbin/metaclear [-s setname] -p component /usr/sbin/metaclear [-s setname] -p metadevice DESCRIPTION
The metaclear command deletes the specified metadevice or hot_spare_pool., or purges all soft partitions from the designated component. Once a metadevice or hot spare pool is deleted, it must be re-created using metainit before it can be used again. Any metadevice currently in use (open) cannot be deleted. OPTIONS
Root privileges are required for all of the following options except -h. -a Deletes all metadevices and configured hot spare pools in the set named by -s, or the local set by default. -f Deletes (forcibly) a metadevice that contains a subcomponent in an error state. -h Displays usage message. -p Deletes (purges) all soft partitions from the specified metadevice or component. -r Recursively deletes specified metadevices and hot spare pools, but does not delete metadevices on which others depend. -s setname Specifies the name of the diskset on which metaclear will work. Using the -s option causes the command to perform its administrative function within the specified diskset. Without this option, the command performs its function on local metadevices and/or hot spare pools. OPERANDS
metadevice ... Specifies the name(s) of the metadevice(s) to be deleted. component Specifies the c*d*t*s* name(s) of the components containing soft partitions to be deleted. hot_spare_pool ... Specifies the name(s) of the hot spare pools to be deleted in the form hspnnn, where nnn is a number in the range 000-999. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Deleting Various Devices The following example deletes a metadevice named d10. # metaclear /dev/md/dsk/d10 The following example deletes all local metadevices and hot spare pools on the system. # metaclear -a The following example deletes a mirror, d20, with an submirror in an error state. # metaclear -f d20 The following example deletes a hot spare pool, hsp001. # metaclear hsp001 The following example deletes a soft partition, d23. # metaclear d23 The following example purges all soft partitions on the slice c2t3d5s2 if those partitions are not being used by other metadevices or are not open. # metaclear -p c2t3d5s2 The following example purges soft partitions from a metadevice. # metaclear -p d2 d3: Soft Partition is cleared d4: Soft Partition is cleared d5: Soft Partition is cleared EXIT STATUS
