>&#13;Assigning a segment manager to a disk means that you want the plug-in
to manage partitions on the disk.
In order to assign a segment manager to a disk, the plug-in needs to
create and maintain the appropriate metadata, which is accomplished
through the "disk type" option.
When you specify the "disk type" option and choose
Linux or OS/2, the plug-in knows what sort of metadata it needs to keep
and what sort of questions it should ask when creating partitions.
</P
><P
>&#13;An additional OS/2 option is the "disk name" option, by which you can
provide a name for the disk that will be saved in OS/2 metadata and that
will be persistent across reboots.
