I have found this by typing "mksysb ignite linux pvcreate" into a search engine:-
UNIXguide.net ( AIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, LINUX, SOLARIS & Tru64)
It's not bad, but a bit out of date now. It gives a you starter I suppose.
Probably the most important thing to understand is that there is another layer to disk management. In a proper OS such as AIX, you would see the disk after
cfgmgr and make/extend your volume groups with
mkvg or
extendvg respectively. For Linux though, you step back to a DOS world initially.
There is the lovely
fdisk to slice you disks. You are probably best defiining them as a single whole-disk slice of type
8e which denotes Linux LVM. Then run a
pvcreate after which you can
vgcreate or
vgextend and finally use LV commands to build filesystems.
I hope that this gets you started. I'm on the same insane path myself.
So far, there is no
mksysb equivalent.

NAME
started - event signalling that a job is running
SYNOPSIS
started JOB=JOB INSTANCE=INSTANCE [ENV]...
DESCRIPTION
The started event is generated by the Upstart init(8) daemon when an instance of a job has finished starting and is now running. The JOB
environment variable contains the job name, and the INSTANCE environment variable contains the instance name which will be empty for sin-
gle-instance jobs.
init(8) emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with other
activity. It is typically combined with the stopping(7) event by services declaring a dependency.
Job configuration files may use the export stanza to export environment variables from their own environment into the started event. See
init(5) for more details.
EXAMPLE
A service that wishes to depend on another service might use:
start on started apache
stop on stopping apache
A task that must be run after another task or service has been started might use:
start on started postgresql
