>Regions can be created from containers, but they can also be created from other
|
|
regions, segments, or disks. Most region managers that support containers create one or more
|
|
freespace regions to represent the freespace within the container. This function is
|
|
analogous to the way a segment manager creates a freespace segment to represent unused disk
|
|
space. </P
