UFS - Do we need to newfs a slice for use as swap and dump device

edited Aug 8, 2018 5:01AM in Oracle Solaris File Systems and Disk Management (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered

HI,

2 slices were used as swap and dump device.

Upon replacing the disk, do we need to perform newfs on those 2 slices before adding them back to swap and dump?

Will the space be usable if we do not newfs?

Thank you

Howdy, Stranger!
