Information on volumes, directories, files, and other characteristics of the file
system is presented to give you background needed for the set-up, managerial,
and other procedures described elsewhere in file system documentation. For
instructions on setting up partitions and volumes, see
Configuring Novell Storage Services
Administrator Guide.
There are two types of volumes: traditional and logical. Traditional volumes
consist of a fixed amount of physical space on one or more hard disks. Logical
volumes can grow dynamically according the available physical space. This
document focuses on traditional volumes. For information about logical
volumes, see Create Logical Volumes
Administrator Guide.
A CD-ROM can also be mounted as a volume. See
