Bad HDD, risky HDD, and warning HDD would not be added to storage pool.
Non-enterprise HDD is added to storage pool by single-HDD mode.
Quick-setting takes longer if any undetected HDD exists.
If HDDs in the storage system are less than 6, they are added to storage pool by single-HDD mode.
If HDDs in the storage system are not less than 6 and HDDs in storage enclosure is less than 6, the
storage system HDDs are added by array mode and the storage enclosure HDDs won’t be added.
If HDDs in the storage system and HDDs in storage enclosure are both not less than 6, they are both
added to storage pool by array mode.
If only one HDD exists, no reserved volume is created. In single-HDD mode, no reserved volume is
created in the last HDD of the storage system. In array mode, two reserved volumes are created in each
RAID.
By default, a 50 GB size private volume and a 50 GB size reserved volume should be created.
