- If you've not yet made a filesystem on it, the "smit crfs" command lets
- you create one. If you need to increase the size of an existing filesystem,
- "smit chjfs" will let you change the size (specified in 512-byte blocks).

- Not sure what you're trying to do here. You can specify lots of things to
- the logical volume manager if you explicitly create the logical volume.
-
- There's more information in Info_Explorer; see the Logical Volume Storage Overview.
