>When a segment manager is removed from a disk, the disk can be reused by
|
|
other plug-ins. The <B
|
|
CLASS="command"
|
|
>remove</B
|
|
> command causes the segment manager to remove its
|
|
partition or slice table from the disk, leaving the raw disk storage object that then
|
|
becomes an available EVMS storage object. As an available storage object,
|
|
the disk is free to be used by any plug-in when storage objects are created or expanded.
|
|
You can also add any of the segment managers to the available disk storage object
|
|
to subdivide the disk into segments.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>Most segment manager plug-ins check to determine if any of the segments are still in
|
|
use by other plug-ins or are still part of volumes. If a segment manager determines
|
|
that there are no disks from which it can safely remove itself, it will not be listed
|
|
when you use the <B
|
|
CLASS="command"
|
|
>remove</B
|
|
> command. In this case, you should delete the
|
|
volume or storage object that is consuming segments from the disk you want to reuse.</P
