Re: disk mount -question
You asked this same question (and received your answer --- in part based on your scoring of the replies!) here:
http://forums.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1400267
What hasn't satisfied your question aside from perhaps that you wish there were one definitive way (aside from documentation)?
Regards!

Re: disk mount -question
I think what you or your manager is confused about is the index and addressing and other metadata stored in the disk header, or LVM header.
When you delete data from a disk you destroy the pointer or address that points to the location of the data on the physical surface of the disk.
Only the pointers or addresses to the data is destroyed. Not the data itself.
Why? Takes to long and there is no delete operation per say. Data is overwritten on its physical surface with NULL characters or ZERO's.
Ever reformatting is not sufficient. Reformattig still does not does not write NULLS or ZERO's to the disk surface. Formatting only defines the physical bounds of the disk.
The point is, once the index or addresses to the data is destroyed, you can't access it in any typical way. You have to load it up in something like a hex editor and read everything character by character.

This is a patching issue with SAM only.
RE: "...if the disk is added in a unsed VG lose the information? (if available) ..."
I'm not sure what your question is here because of the grammer, but I'll try to rephrase it best I can. Are you asking: "...if a disk is unused and added to a vg, will the disk lose all its information?...".
Well, there's too much assumption and guessing on my part here. Your going to have to rewrite this.

Re: disk mount -question
anex.
And NO, there is no data on it. Stop questionign the operating system. The O/S is not going to make a mistake.
For elabaoration on why, see my previous reply about INDEX's and ADDRESSING.
