Hi,

We have a new sysadmin who came from the Linux world and had never built
a Sun. We had him build a 2.6 box and a 2.8 box, and on both of these
builds, he treated slice 2 like a normal slice and partitioned
accordingly. Now there's nothing that references the whole disk. I know
this is bad if you ever want to do anything with the whole raw device,
but how bad is it for the stability of the machine. Should we rebuild?

Thanks,

Jenn
