hi guys,

Noted below is the output when i did a format and there is no overlapping;

Part tag flag cylinders size blocks
0 root wm 0-2031 100.12 MB 2032/0/0 2048256
1 swap wu 2032-3047 500.06 MB 1016/0/0 1024128
2 backup wm 0-16380 7.87 GB 1638/0/0 16512048
3 home wm 3048-6096 1.47 GB 3048/0/0 3072384
4 unassigned wm 6096-12518 3.09 GB 6423/0/0 6474384
5 unassigned wm 0 0 0/0/0 0
6 unassigned wm 0 0 0/0/0 0
7 unassigned wm 21519-16379 1.86 GB 3861/0/0 0

==================================================================

and my entry for vfstab is:

#device device mount FS fsck mount
mount
#to mount to fsck point type pass at boot
options
#
#/dev/dsk/c1d0s2 /dev/rdsk/c1d0s2 /usr ufs 1 yes -
fd - /dev/fd fd - no -
/proc - /proc proc - no -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 - - swap - no -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 / ufs 1 no -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3 /usr ufs 1 no -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s4 /export ufs 2 yes -
swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes -

Do you think should i just use the format command and change the swap entry
from 2032-3047 to something like 2044-3047, would that work ?
if so..how do i go about it ?

Thanks and regards,
Dinesh Paul
