How do I make more volumes/partitions? 1

I did a test install of Novell 6.5 and only set up the SYS Volume.. I have a bunch of unpartitioned space on the hard drive, now. How do I make more partitions/ volumes?

on the console, start nssmu

there you can create partitons, pools and volumes

Btw, netware has a dymamic pool option means, you can add space to a pool and then creating volumes in this pool and "oversubscribe" the space of the pool.
If one volume needs the space, it gots it and the other volumes getting automaticly reduced.
In parallel you can also set fixed space.

You can add "on the fly" more space to the pool (SAN disk or whatever) and the volumes getting automaticly extended while users are working on them !
