when making one of these should you make a partition on the disc(s) and format them or have them completely blank?

i have used

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad6 bs=1k count=1
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad8 bs=1k count=1
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad10 bs=1k count=1


to completely wipe them so they have nothing on them, so is it a case of me just doing

gconcat label -v 1tb /dev/ad6 /dev/ad8 /dev/ad10
newfs /dev/concat/1tb
mount /dev/concat/1tb /store

????
 
ok so they should be blank before i concat them (which is what im guessing the yar was in reference too :p), which they are (or were) and what's the U flag for (edit: found out its soft updates)

so in furture i shall have to remember newfs -U /dev/concat/1tb

edit2: little tunefs -n enable /dev/concat/1tb - should fix it :p

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
