To make this quickly, i'll only write what i did:
0. Enter single user mode
1. Backup everything
Just in case :)
2. unmount partition d (at that time, it was the only of the three mounted
and with information), and unmount all the partitions in use after f (g
and h)
3. run format -> partition
4. f -> starting cyl: 600 -> size: 0
5. e -> starting cyl: 450 -> size: 0
6. d -> starting cyl: 300 -> size: 450/0/0
7. label
8. mkfs /dev/rsd2d
New filsystem
9. tunefs -m 1 /dev/rsd2d
optimized for space
10. mount /dev/sd2d /<mount_point> and the partitions g and h
voila.. everything went fine...
I hope this info will be useful for other managers out there..
Best regards
