3.21 Creating File Systems for HDLM (When Volume Management
Software Is Not Used)
This section describes how to build a file system in an HDLM-managed device without
using volume management software.
3.21.1 Mounting a File System
To mount an HDLM-managed device as a file system by specifying the logical device
file name for an HDLM device:
1.
Create a file system by using an HDLM device.
If the file system already exists, skip to step 2.
Note that the file systems supported by HDLM are ext2, ext3, ReiserFS, and
VxFS. For details about creating a file system, see 3.21.2 Creating a File System.
2. Create a directory on which to mount the file system.
# mkdir /mnt/hdlm
In this example, the command creates
/mnt/hdlm
to be used for the mount point.
3. Mount the file system.
Execute a command such as the following:
# mount /dev/sddlmaa /mnt/hdlm
In this example, the command mounts
/dev/sddlmaa
(the logical device file
name for an HDLM device)
/mnt/hdlm
.
