[Solaris-Users] Question re disk space and format command

[John Dunn]

When I print a partition, does the backup space have any special
significance?.

I want to know if the "backup" space is available to me since I do not
see backup as a filesystem if I do a df

 

partition> print

Current partition table (original):

Total disk cylinders available: 39533 + 2 (reserved cylinders)

Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks

0 root wm 0 - 4161 2.00GB (4162/0/0) 4195296
