Examples Add linear RAID-1 disk group dg1 with one spare.

# add disk-group type linear disks 1.20-21 level r1 spare 1.22 dg1

Add ADAPT linear disk group ALDG.

# add disk-group type linear disks 1.1-12 level adapt ALDG

Add a virtual RAID-6 disk group to pool A. The resulting group will have an auto-generated name.

# add disk-group type virtual disks 1.16-19 level r6 pool a

Add an ADAPT virtual disk group to pool B.

# add disk-group type virtual disks 2.1-12 level adapt pool b

Add a read-cache disk group to pool B. The resulting group will be named rcB.

# add disk-group type read-cache disks 1.18-19 pool b
