Now recently I freed some partitions devoted to M$ Windows (at last!) and I want to transform them into UFS partitions. How can I do it from a console? Could you point me to an explanatory web-page I was unable to find googling? A step by step explanation would be highly apptreciated. Ciao Vittorio
