Re: Remove entry in inittab
You can comment out the offending line by adding a # in front of it.
Afther that you should run
"init q"
in order to re-read inittab file.
Best regards

Re: Remove entry in inittab
First create a copy of your current /etc/inittab file!
Have you seen the entry you want to delete?
#strings /etc/inittab
vgscan allows recreation of the /etc/lvmtab and possibly the associated Logical Volume Group device files. Check online manual pages for vgscan command.
#man vgscan
Becareful, use vgscan -p -v to obtain a Preview the actions taken but do not update file.

Re: Remove entry in inittab
Forget my previous post, a mixup between /etc/inittab and /etc/lvmtab files!

Re: Remove entry in inittab
You sound as if your experience has been with AIX :-) HP-UX follows the Unix tradition of human-readable, editable configuration files without the encumbrances of special commands to edit them.
