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
