Hi,

I have installed RZ26L (/dev/rrz2c) on a ALpha Server 400 system and
am trying to create a file domain using the mkfdmn command. I
get a message saying I could possbibly overwrite existing data

mkfdmn /dev/rz2c domain2
/dev/rrz2c is marked in use for AdvFS in the disklabel.
If you continue with the operation you can
possibly destroy existing data.
CONTINUE? [y/n] n
mkfdmn: can't create new domain 'domain2


I figured since this is a new disk (no data) and initial ADFS
configuration I have nothing to worry regarding data on
(dev/rrz2c) disk. Is my resasoning right and can I just say Y
and continue .Or will rest of the data on the system be
affected? I am in the process of understanding ADFS...and would
appreciate any help in this regard

Thanks a lot
Preethi
