What's Next - Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 System Administration Manual

A single disk can contain volume segments from multiple volumes. If a single disk fails, each
volume segment on it fails, causing all of the volumes that have volume segments on that server disk
to fail. To achieve fault tolerance, you should protect the volumes against disk failure by setting up a
software RAID 1 (mirroring) device for the partitions. See
Data Fault Tolerance" on page
You can add volume segments to a Traditional volume if free space is available, but you cannot
remove them. Removing a segment from a volume destroys the entire volume.
You can increase the size of a Traditional volume by adding another server disk to the NetWare
server, setting up a NetWare partition on the disk, then adding one or more segments in the partition
to the existing volume.
