You have a choice of either using a whole disk for a file system, or you can use the logical volume manager. From what I've seen, most of the people who use LVM also use VxFS (or JFS, a journalling filesystem). It would probably be easiest then to just try to support HFS (HP's version of UFS, I think) using a whole disk.
