Subdisk Properties
numbers after the dash represent a number for the subdisk within the disk. Thus, if the
subdisk was the first one created for a particular disk, it would have 01 after the dash, the
second disk created would have 02 after the dash, and so on.
Size
This field displays the size of the subdisk.
Column
Columndisplays thecolumnthat the subdiskoccupiesin thevolume.Striped and RAID-5
volumes have multiple columns.
Disk Offset
This is the offset where the subdisk starts on the disk. The reason this is included in the
Properties window is because for a subdisk to be split, it must be a contiguous to the
subdisk next to it. By looking at the offsets, you can determine which subdisks are
contiguous.
Plex Offset
This is the offsetof a subdisk within a plex. It shows the distancefrom the start of aplex to
the startof aspecific subdisk. The first subdiskwithin aplex will have an offset of "0." The
second subdisk will be offset by the size of the first subdisk.
