Hello preethi,

this is my understanding on your question:
you need a device on which a filesystem should be created but the device should not be a mounted device.

to achieve this, you should be creating a partition using LVM or FDisk , CFDisk etc tools and format the partition using the mkfs tool with what ever file system you require.
leave this partition without mounting!!

note: creating a partition may demand for a reboot of the system in OLD versions of Linux/Unix.

mounted(7)						 Miscellaneous Information Manual						mounted(7)

NAME

       mounted - event signalling that a filesystem has been mounted

SYNOPSIS

       mounted DEVICE=DEVICE MOUNTPOINT=MOUNTPOINT TYPE=TYPE OPTIONS=OPTIONS [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The mounted event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted a filesystem.  mountall(8) will wait for all services started
       by this event to be running, all tasks started by this event to have finished and all jobs stopped by this event to be stopped before  con-
       tinuing with other filesystems.

       The DEVICE, MOUNTPOINT, TYPE and OPTIONS environment variables contain the values of the fstab(5) fields for this mountpoint.

EXAMPLE

       A tool that should be run after mounting the /tmp filesystem might use:

	      start on mounted MOUNTPOINT=/tmp
	      task
