partitions:

Database partition: Used in the SAN Manager LM database
mirror set. The recommended database partition size is 400
megabytes.
Free space: If you do not want to use all of the space on a UPM
disk, you can leave the unused space as free space, which can
be partitioned later.

a file system partition.
