Use pvdisplay /dev/disk/disk4_p2
And multiply free PE with the PE size

Hi Maxell,

diskinfo command will show the exact used and free space in a disk.

and du/bdf command also the usage of disks.

Note:- du is not in HP-UX,use bdf command.

and pvdisplay -v /dev/vg01/cxtxdx

above commands are shown the exact the details of free space in disks.

Use vgdisplay -v and lvdisplay commands to find out if the disk is in a volume group / lvol.

When you know the VG then I think vgdisplay -v will show you all the extents in use (for ALL disks in the VG). But it should have a one or two liner showing the specific disk and how many extents are free.

Excuse the vagueness I don't have an HP system available to me right now to cut and paste examples.

Cheers
