5.6Partitioning a Logical Drive/Logical Volume

Partitioning, as well as the creation of logical volume, are not the requirements for creating a RAID system. The configuration processes for partitioning a logical drive are the same as those for partitioning a logical volume.

Press ENT for two seconds to enter the Main Menu. Press ▼ or ▲ to select "View and Edit Logical Volume," then press ENT.

Press ▼ or ▲ to select a logical volume, then press ENT.

Press ▼ or ▲ to select “Partition Logical Volume,” then press ENT.

The total capacity of the logical volume will be displayed as the first partition (partition 0). Press ENT for two seconds to change the size of the first partition.

Use ▼ or ▲ to change the number of the flashing digit, (see the arrow mark) then press ENT to move to the next digit. After changing all the digits, press ENT for two seconds to confirm the capacity of this partition. You may also use arrow keys to move down to the next partition.

The rest of the drive space will be automatically allocated as the last partition. You may go on to create up to 32 partitions using the same method as described above.

Press ESC for several times to go back to the main menu.
