Server hard disks can contain up to four partitions. Each partition contains a
data area, where the file system resides, and can contain another data area,
called the Hot Fix/mirror object, which is used to manage mirroring and Hot
Fix redirection.
The entire NetWare partition, including both the data area and the Hot Fix/
mirror object, is called the physical partition.
The data area of the partition is called the logical partition.
