Hello Alpha manager type people:

I am new to Alpha workstation management. I am running a Dec 3000 - M600
Workstation running Digital Unix 4.0b (Rev 564) and firmware version DEC
TZA SPO/A.14 with 256 Meg of RAM. Ten days ago, a colleague and I created
a new file system with the newfs command on an external 4 Gig DEC DSP5350S
disk drive when a warning about unallocated cylinders occurred. We did
this after repartioning the disk drive in an effort to increase swap
space. Is this error worthy of concern on my part or can it be ignored?
Even though we encountered this problem ten days ago and the system is
running fine and has not given us any problems, but I am wondering if
this warning might cause a problem to occur in the future.

This is a copy of the error message and a bit of relevant info:

Warning: 716 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated
/dev/rrz14a: 5582134 sectors in 2454 cylinders of 25 tracks, 91 sectors
        2725.7MB in 154 cyl groups (16 c/g, 17.77MB/g, 4288 i/g)
