Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

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

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
