Just for curiosity, if I newfs on an existing filesystem, will the contents of the old filesystem be erased completely? I guess that the existing filesystem must be unmounted before doing so. If using same parameters in newfs as in the old filesystem, the contents of the old filesystem will be saved (I have to do a fsck though). Am I right? Thanks for any help. -------------------------------------------------- Zhihui Zhang.
