“Example of a Striped Plex with One Subdisk per Column” shows a striped plex with
three equal sized, single-subdisk columns. There is one column per physical disk. This
example shows three subdisks that occupy all of the space on the VM disks. It is also
possible for each subdisk in a striped plex to occupy only a portion of the VM disk, which
leaves free space for other disk management tasks.
