NOTES Tru64 UNIX V5.1x HP-UX 11i v2

Disk Device File Naming Conventions
(Block Device) /dev/disk/dsknp
n is the disk number
p is the partition
/dev/dsk/cCtTdD[sS] C is the controller T is the target D is the hardware device unit number S is the section number

Disk Device File Naming Conventions
(Character Device) /dev/rdisk/dsknp
n is the disk number
p is the partition
/dev/rdsk/cCtTdD[sS] C is the controller T is the target D is the hardware device unit number S is the section number

Tape Device File Naming Conventions /dev/[n]tape/tapea_dx
n indicates norewind
a is the tape drive number
d_x is the tape drive density suffix
/dev/[r]mt/T[options]
/dev/[r]mt/cCtTdD[Toptions] r indicates a raw device C is the controller T is the target D is the hardware device unit number options include any of the following: BEST sets the best known options h indicates high density m indicates medium density l indicates low density c sets best known options including compression n indicates norewind b indicates Berkeley-style access format for reads
