Mounting a file system

To mount an HDLM-managed device as a file system by specifying the logical device file name for an HDLM device:

1. Create a file system by using an HDLM device.

   If the file system already exists, skip to step 2.

   Note that the file systems supported by HDLM are ext2, ext3, ext4, GFS2, ReiserFS, VxFS, xfs, and Btrfs. For details about creating a file system, see Creating a file system.

2. Create a directory on which to mount the file system.

   # mkdir /mnt/hdlm

   In this example, the command creates /mnt/hdlm to be used for the mount point.

3. Mount the file system.

   Execute a command such as the following:

   # mount /dev/sddlmaa /mnt/hdlm

   In this example, the command mounts /dev/sddlmaa (the logical device file name for an HDLM device) /mnt/hdlm.
