AIX

Dear All,

I have two h.disks.

Please advice for how to create a new folder/directory in hdisk1 instead of the hdisk0? I need to use the folder to store for xmlfiles for my application accessing to read it.

Thank a lots.

Best Regards,
Tom

mklv -t jfs2 -y testlv rootvg 10M hdisk1

creates an lv with the name testlv in rootvg with size 16mb on hdisk1

then use

crfs -v jfs2 -d /dev/testlv -m /path/to/mount to create a filesystem

mount /path/to/mount

or use smitty lv and smitty jfs2 for interactive creation

on older systems (aix4.3 or later) use jfs and not jfs2

Thx for your replied.

More info:
Actually, hdisk0 is a rootvg, hdisk1 is for datavg. So, i would like to create a folder on hdisk1. so that, i can use the space of hdisk1 but not the hdisk0.

Even I created a lv01 on datavg, but the physical directory is created in hdisk0 and mounted, by then it used up the hdisk0 "/" directory space. how come? it is not enough space for me to store the xmldata files if so.

May purpose is to use the hdisk1 instead as it is more spaces for data storage.

Please advice and thx.

You have a filesystem which is just that on rootvg in the / directory. Do a df and check the filesystem is not in the mounted list. If it is make a note of the LV on the left most column. Unmount the filesystem and delete the copy of the LV. The LV then needs to be created on the other VG and the filesystem created on it and mounted. This all assumes of course there is nothing in the directory!!! If there is then all data will need to be backed up.
