If the file system already exists, skip to step 2.
Note that the file systems supported by HDLM are ext2, ext3, ReiserFS,
and VxFS. For details about creating a file system, see

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.

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.
