So you want us to do your work.
Your place or mine?
Who brings the lunch?
Will we get your salary?


Jit,

Please re-read your question, and again.
And I'm not complaining about the english.

Nowhere does it indicate you even tried
Nowhere does it indicate what might be needed
Nowhere does it suggest a tool to use any constraint.

We might guess this is really HPUX as implied by the forum. Which version? What architecture? What FS? What storage? LSM?
I'm sure it's obvious to you, but we are not mindreaders.


At the very least
- show us one example of those 20 creates to be done.
- explain and/or show where the names (and sizes) come from
== An excell spreadsheet (convert to CSV and parse!)
== Some algoritme (FS1 .. FS70 )

Good luck!
Hein.

Indeed, with what you tell us, this quick and dirty script my do the thing (assuming you want to use LVM and have a VG available :
VGNAME=/dev/vgxx
COUNTER=1
while [$COUNTER -le 70 ]
do
lvcreate -L 1 -n FS$COUNTER $VGNAME
mkfs $VGNAME/FS$COUNTER
done
