Maximum Free Capacity
This is a read only field and cannot be configured by the end user. This field informs the user as to
the maximum available memory that can be used.
Size to Expand
Enter a value that is not larger that the value shown in the Maximum Free Capacity field. The LV
will be expanded by the amount entered in this field.
Note You may combine partitions under View and Edit LV Partition Table by expanding the size of earlier
partitions (as in, increase the size of partition 0 so that it is as large as all partitions combined to
make one partition). Combining partitions destroys existing data on all drive partitions.
