1.3.6.1 Logical Partitioning

Logical partitioning divides a physical disk into logical devices based on its original method, and not based on the disk slice management provided by the partition table.

With an external disk (physical disk) in a Linux system, in general, a maximum of 16 partitions can only be used.

GDS allows users to use physical disks and objects equivalent to disks dividing them into a maximum of 224 logical devices.

For details, see "Logical Volume" and "sdxvolume - Volume operations."
