AIX:  Creating Logical Volumes & Filesystems

Standard disclaimer:  use the information that follows at your own risk.  If you screw up a system, don't blame it on me...

  1. mklv -t (type) -y (name) VG ##
    1. Type = jfs, jfslog, or other some such
    2. name = volume_group_name.lv## where ## is a one up number for each logical volume
    3. ## is the number of PP's for the logical volume.
    mklv -t jfs -y vg00.lv31 vg00 8
  1. crfs -v jfs -d DEVICE -m MOUNT_POINT -A yes
    1. -v = filesystem type (normally jfs)
    2. -d = logical volume device file
    3. -m = mount point for new filesystem.
    4. -A = yes or no depending on automounting on boot up.
