The following is the partition table:

Disk name:      da0                                    FDISK Partition
Editor
DISK Geometry:  2231 cyls/255 heads/63 sectors = 35841015 sectors
(17500MB)

Offset       Size(ST)        End     Name  PType       Desc  Subtype   
Flags

         0         63         62        -      6     unused        0
        63   25189857   25189919    da0s1      3    freebsd      165   
C
  25189920   10653750   35843669        -      6     unused        0
                        ^^^^^^^^

the end sectors of partition 2 has beyond the total sectors,
if I adjust and re-initialize it, I hope it will not affect
the existed system. I will backup the important
data, but I hope I don't need to re-install the whole system,
because it will spend too much time to do it :-)
