Basic Filesystem / Physical Volume / Logical Volume Check
Hi!
Can anyone help me on how I can do a basic check on the Unix filesystems / physical volumes and logical volumes?
What items should I check, like where do I look at in smit? Or are there commands that I should execute?
I need to do this as I was informed by IBM that there seems to be an error on our SAN disks. I don't even know what SAN disks are.
Thanks!

Hello,
I have logical volume group of 50GB, in which I have 2 logical volumes, LogVol01 and LogVol02, both are of 10GB.
If I extend LogVol01 further by 10GB, then it keeps the extended copy after logical volume 2. I want to know where it keeps this information
