I would like to know what Volume Managers are available apart from LVM. For these, I would like to know about the APIs (or commands) that
1. Gets the file system free space
2. Lets me determine which file system maps to which physical drive.
Thanks and regards

SolutionThe other volume manager you've probably heard is called VxVm. This is an add on product from Veritas.
As far as your questions are concerned:
1) bdf which shows file system stats from mounted filesystems. You can also use 'vgdisplay -v /dev/vgxx' to get other stats.
2) Using the output from 'pvdisplay' you can track what logical volume is on each physical LUN. You can then map these logical volumes from bdf and /etc/fstab.

Re: Volume Managers
Thanks for the information, however I was looking for information about storage managers that use SDS or hard partitions ( or others ).
Thanks and regards

Re: Volume Managers
1 - you could have a look at 'statfs' or 'statfsdev' which are C APIs to build something like a bdf
2 - Not so easy in fact ... Especially with stripped or distributed lvols. Don't really know APIs, but if pvdisplay works quite well for LVM, I remember that it was one of my big fears about VxVm. Finding where data really is when You use plex, mirror, distribution and so on. I thougth it was almost impossible :-)
Regards.

Re: Volume Managers
As mentioned, bdf will answer all the questions about device files versus filesystems. To see a physical path, use pvdisplay and lssf to see the physical location of a specific disk.
