I'm new to the AIX world and found the following problem. (I am running
AIX 2.2 (not 2.2.1 yet .. it should be arriving soon) on an RT 6151-115)

I created a minidisk (1000 blocks long) in the standalone shell.  Then i 
rebooted the system, and tried removing the minidisk using the regular
shell.  Unfortunately, the minidisk had no device (ie /dev/hd8 ) 
associated with it, or entry (ie. stanza) in /etc/filesystems. 
A
Therefore I was unable to mount it or delete it using the 'minidisk'
command.  I was able to delete it using the maintenance diskette, though, 
because it doesn't use the device name, but a line number to identify
every diskette.  Anyone else ever run across this? Also, I am 
responsible for system security.  Any known holes??

Thanks in advance
