When you don??™t specify the size, the utility creates the
largest possible RAID-5 volume by using the maximum space on the smallest volume (or the maximum
available space when the drives are the same size). The RAID-5 volume consumes the same
amount of space on each disk. The disk argument defines which disks to use in the RAID-5 volume.
The volume must contain at least three drives simply because of the way that RAID-5 works
(you can find an overview of the various RAID levels at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/
prodtechnol/exchange/guides/E2k3HighAvGuide/02ed19b2-d2b3-4f77-8835-b4b0dd2f68f5
.mspx).
create volume simple [size=N] [disk=N] [noerr] Creates a simple volume. The utility
automatically changes focus to the new volume once the system creates it. The size argument
defines the size of the volume in megabytes. The utility uses the entire free space on the disk
when you don??™t specify the size argument. The disk argument specifies the disk to receive the
new volume. The utility uses the current disk when you don??™t specify the disk option.
create volume stripe [size=N] disk=N,N[,N,...] [noerr] Creates a striped volume
using two or more dynamic disks.
