NSS uses storage pools. A storage pool is a specified amount of space you
obtain from all your storage devices. Then you place all NSS logical volumes
into the storage pool. This way you do not have to limit the number of volumes
you have in a partition. You can have only one storage pool on a partition, but
you can place unlimited logical volumes in the storage pool. The size of
logical volumes cannot exceed the size of the storage pool.
The volumes you create from NSS storage pools are called logical volumes.
A logical volume is a volume that is either set to a specific size, or one that can
grow dynamically according to the amount of physical space assigned to the
pool. This lets you add and store any size or any number of files you need
without having to create other partitions. You can add any number of volumes
to a storage pool as long as you have available physical space in the pool.
