Hi,
Thanks for all those responses on my previous swap problem. I'll post a
summary in the near future. I have a few more questions that I'd like to
have answered.
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 131072 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 0 - 164*)
b: 262144 131072 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 164*-492*)
c: 2050860 0 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 0 -2569)
d: 0 0 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 0 - -1)
e: 0 0 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 0 - -1)
f: 0 0 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 0 - -1)
g: 1657644 393216 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 492*-2569*)
h: 0 0 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 0 - -1)

I got the above listing from disklabel -r <drive>
There are a bunch of unused entries. Does this mean that there is free
space on the drive, which could be allocated for some other use, such as
swap?
For instance, entry c has a rather large size (I don't know if it's in
bytes, blocks or KB) which could be allocated. Then again, from my
understanding, the rrzXc is the actual drive and the rest are partitions
on the drive.
Any help is appreciated.
Sincerely
Santosh Krishnan
