- After you made the logical volume did you create a new file system or
- grow the old file system that used to live on /dev/dsk/dks0d1s6? If
- you _had_ a previous file system in dks0d1s6 and then created a file
- system around it and dks0d5s7, you would only see the file system that
- was already there, and you would have to do a 'growfs /dev/dsk/lv0'
- (with the _file system_ unmounted!) or a 'mkfs /dev/dsk/lv0' (also with
- dks0d1s6 unmounted). Make sure to also make a new /dev/usr and
- /dev/rusr to match /dev/dsk/lv0 and /dev/rdsk/lv0. --
