FW: [SunHELP] change partition table without damage

You can use cylinders 4194-19154 to allocate to other slices...
Basically, make sure none of your slices overlap.

Subject: [SunHELP] change partition table without damage


hello,

i have a disk of 36GB. the partitions that are alocated don't take
the full disk space. I was wondering if I can use format to make a
new partition without damaging the rest (where I have data). For
example I want to make 4 (opt) and not to damage the rest.

thanks

this is a snapshot from partition print from format command

Current partition table (original):
Total disk cylinders available: 19156 + 2 (reserved cylinders)
