The newfs utility does not manipula= te (and in some cases is prevented from manipulating) this area. The gpart(8) = (or disklabel(8)) utility is used to update this area. If it is desired to zero this area, one of these utilities shold be used to do that. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
