How can I create different slices in a disk without going thru LVM?
I mean that I want to partitioned one disk to two or more parts, and make file system on each part, so I can mount each file system to a different mount point ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: partition a disk NOT using LVM !!!
Not with HP-UX (other than VxVM). That's what lvm is all about. I there a reason you don't want to use lvm?

Re: partition a disk NOT using LVM !!!
# man newfs_hfs
You can create a whole disk partition (non-LVM) but you can't slice it up.
# newfs -F hfs /dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ
# mount /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ /testdir

Re: partition a disk NOT using LVM !!!
You can have only one partition per disk if you are not using LVM/VXVM and using the whole disk approach.
So you can have only one file system per disk. It's the limitation of this whole disk approach.
Create the file system by using,
#newfs -F hfs /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX

Re: partition a disk NOT using LVM !!!
The only overhead associated with LVM is one extra redirection. Whenever an I/O request is made to an LVM block a kernel map is consulted to say that this is really block nnn of /dev/dsk/c1t2d3 and then the I/O requested is passed off to the actual disk device I/O function. Because the redirection is but a small fracxtion of the total I/O request the overhead is actually difficult to measure in real life especially is you are striping the LVOL over multiple paths and devices.

Re: partition a disk NOT using LVM !!!
Many, many years ago, there were sysadmin stories that LVM extracted a performance penalty and indeed, without the required patches, that was true, especially on the very slow machines from 10 years ago.
As far as filesystems installed on the partitions, HFS was faster than VxFS, again, many years ago, but is not true today. The VxFS filesystem is stable, fast and recovers from an abnormal reboot in seconds rather than hours (with HFS).
Bill Hassell, sysadmin
