Creating Volumes
Volumes are created from free space. A large disk can be divided into several
volumes during installation. Conversely, a volume can be distributed over
multiple disks.
WARNING: Creating a volume that spans two or more storage devices is not
recommended. If a volume spans disk devices and one of the devices fails, all data
on the entire volume could be lost.
