2. Format and mount the disk using the bolded device file information shown in
the above example.
a. Create a directory to use as a mount point, such as mkdir/mnt/UDO.

c. Mount the disk to the directory you created in step 2.a, such as
mount/dev/dsk/c4t0d0/mnt/UDO.
Your UDO disk is now formatted and mounted, and can be used on HP-UX.
