7.6 Partitioning a Logical Drive/Logical Volume
The process of partitioning a logical drive is the same as that of partitioning a logical volume.
The partitioning of a logical volume is used as an example in the proceeding discussion.
Note that partitioning can be very useful when dealing with a very large capacity; however,
partitioning a logical drive or logical volume is not a requirement for RAID configuration.

Choose the logical volume you wish to partition, then press [ENTER]. Choose Partition logical
volume, then press [ENTER]. Select from the list of undefined partitions and press [ENTER].
A list of partitions displays. If the logical volume has not yet been partitioned, all volume
capacity will list as “partition 0.”
Fig. 7.22 Partition List
Press [ENTER] and type the desired size for the selected partition, and then press [ENTER] to
proceed. The remaining size will be automatically allotted to the next partition.
When prompted by the “Partition Logical Volume?” message, choose Yes to confirm then
press [ENTER]. Follow the same procedure to partition the remaining capacity of your logical
volume.

When a partition of a logical drive/logical volume is deleted, the capacity of the deleted parti-
tion will be added to the previous partition.
