David,

You can use LVM, or linear append software RAID to aggregate volumes into
larger logical volumes.  LVM is the more flexible approach.

Subject: Multiple mount points - 3390 DASD Limitations


Hello listers,

I've been pondering this question for some time now.  I have older RAMAC II
DASD arrays that emulate 3390-3's.  Each pack is roughly 2.36Gb.  Let's say
a mountpoint, like /usr, starts to get close to 100% utilization.  Is the
appropriate thing to do is create separate mountpoints, like /usr/lib,
/usr/share and devote each of them to their own 3390 pack?

I am looking at a new SHARK array and that will help me solve this problem
by emualting larger disks, but is there anything I can do in the interim?

Thanks,
Dave
