For the slice only, or also for the new partition I'm going to create? I've done the later
Code:
<...>
g: 12273471 200957274 4.2BSD 2048 16384 0
h: 11514762 189442512 4.2BSD 2048 16384 0
<...>
and run the command
first without paremetars, and then with "-0 1", but, I was getting
Code:
newfs: /dev/wd0g is a block device. use raw device
So, I'm assuming I should have run the command on the entire disk (wd0), but, since "newfs is used to initialize and clear file systems before first use", I am concerned whether it will format all ffs partitions it will see from disklabel?
How will it know it should deal only with /dev/wd0g? The man page doesn't specify whether that program runs (or might be run) interactively and I don't understand its syntax (or, at least, I don't understand what does it intend by "special").
