The message comes when you create a new filesystem with newfs.  According
to page 263 of the "The complete FreeBSD", this is not a problem because
the space will be used anyway (how?).

I searched the archive, somebody mentioned an option to newfs to use the
unallocated space.  My understanding is that if there are no bits in the
bitmaps corresponding to those sectors, they will never be used. If there
are, why newfs prints the warning message?

I hope someone will clarify this for me. Thanks a lot.
