ABSTRACT
Adding a disk is a routine task, and to accomplish this task, the procedure specific to the particular UNIX flavor must be fully respected and followed. To add a new disk does not mean simply to connect a disk — there are several more steps that must be accomplished:
• To partition a disk, and prepare one or more independent disk partitions • To create a filesystem, and make disk partitions available for data storage
• To mount created filesystem, and make accessible for data storage
If logical volume manager (LVM) is used, a few more steps are required before a filesystem creation, to create a logical volume for further processing.
