Re: format a mount point
So please be more specific: do you want to
- prepare a physical disk for use?
- just create a new filesystem for a new logical volume?
- or maybe destroy the old data on a particular disk/logical volume?
The actual low-level formatting (mediainit) is very rarely needed with modern disks. Don't use the "mediainit" command if there is no specific need to do so.
To prepare a disk for use in HP-UX, you should use pvcreate to set it up for LVM use, then vgcreate/vgextend and lvcreate to create a new logical volume of necessary size. Then you can use the mkfs command to create a filesystem on the new logical volume. After this, you can mount the new LV to the desired mountpoint.

Re: format a mount point
#newfs -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/
Then I believe we don't need to fully format it again. Is it ?
