All,

I'm trying to get to grips with Disksuite using metatool.

As I understand it there appears to be no concept of 'volume groups' ie
creating a large pool of physical disk then creating several 'logical
volumes' from that 'volume group' pool.

It seems to me that you can drag as many partitions into a 'concat / stripe'
as you wish but that pool of disk can only be used for one mount ie /data
and not split into several mounts ie /data /data1 /data2 etc.

What this means is spending more time planning what size each concat /
stripe should be and having to create one per filesystem mount.

Can someone please confirm this is correct.

It seems less flexible this way the AIX's LVM.

Regards,
Mike.
