Man, why didn't I think of that: just try to mount it.
Volprint -ht showed there was a volume on the d partition. I created the
link from fdmns:
# mkdir /etc/fdmns/mytest
# cd /etc/fdmns/mytest
# ln -s /dev/vol/vol-dsk0d mytestfset
# showfsets mytest
And what did it say:
var
Id : 398d5017.000611ad.1.8001
Files : 0, SLim= 0, HLim= 0
Blocks (512) : 0, SLim= 0, HLim= 0
Quota Status : user=off group=off
Most likely, the disk has been used before, with /var on the d. partition!
Now I'm sure I can re-use it again.
Thanks to:
Timothy Brown, Pat O'Brien and Lucien Hercaud.
Last persion mentioned also told me to:
However, if the "b"' and "d" partions are adjacent, the best would be to
remove the primary swap from "b", and to take off the swapvol from LSM then
to increase the "b" partition by "d"'s size and to redefine the "b"
partition as swap (but larger this time!) This in order to prevent swap
interlace between 2 partitions of the same disk which is not very good for
performance
Thanks again!
Best regards,
Alex

Subject: partition in use?
Hi all,
On a system running LSM (boot/rootdisk encapsulated & mirrored) (Tru64 v5.1
pk0003, AS1200, 1 rootdg (and 1 proddg existing of 2 raid5 sets))
It's disklabel dsk0 is:
c: 8380080 0 unused
d: 3103464 2797786 AdvFS
e: 1024 2796762 unused
f: 4096 2792666 LSMsimp
g: 2478830 5901250 LSMnoprv
h: 3993432 4386648 unused
# voldisk list | grep dsk0
dsk0a nopriv root01 rootdg online
dsk0b nopriv swap01 rootdg online
dsk0d nopriv dsk0d-AdvFS rootdg online
dsk0f simple dsk0f rootdg online
dsk0g nopriv dsk0g-AdvFS rootdg online
The 'g' partition in use for the usr_domain (including var)
Vol 512-Blks Free % Used Cmode Rblks Wblks Vol Name
1L 2478816 967312 61% on 512 512
/dev/vol/rootdg/vol-dsk0g
My question:
How can I see what's dsk0d for... There are no other domains in root
(besides the rootvolume on a. and swap on b) I'd like to add secondary swap
on that d. partition (if possible)
TIA
Alex Harkema
