I have a 2266 on a SPARC IPC running SunOS 4.1.1, formatted with 1650 data
cylinders. It is set up as one big partition, and newfs had no problems
with it, but only a few hundred MB have been used so far. Does anyone have
further information on the Sun patch referred to? I would not like to see
data overwritten if I can help it.

Thank you.
