Available disk space - Raw devices

any idea how to find out what the header block size
of the raw device on HP-UX?

Or how to see what is in use, without using Oracle?
Is there any tool out there for this type of thing?

There is no header block concept in HP-UX. You determine the size of a volume using something like:

lvdisplay /dev/vg00/lvol1|grep Mbytes

The Unix block size for HP-UX is 512 bytes for all disks.
