Disk Assignment allows you to specify which disk drives are
to be used by the pool being created. To create a pool that
only occupies a portion of a single disk, make sure to only
select the Use checkbox for the drive you want to use.
If multiple disks are connected to SimpleShare, by default the
Space Allocation selects all available drives. This results in
all available space on each drive being allocated to the new
pool being created. To remove disks from the pool being
created the Manual checkbox must be selected and the Use
checkbox for the drives that are not to be included in the pool
must be deselected.
