Using Your Biggest S2S
4.4.2.3. Configuring Multiple Volumes
The Advanced Configuration Mode allows many
combinations of storage policies and capacities. The fol-
lowing procedure shows how to modify a basic SAFE
configuration so that it contains several volumes, each
with different storage policies. This example illustrates
one possible combination that allocates all of the sys-
tem’s available capacity to:
One 50-gigabyte (GB) SAFE volume on drives 0
and 1, with no reserved space for a Hot Spare.
One FAST volume that uses the remaining capacity
on drives 0 and 1.
One BIG volume that uses all of the capacity on
drives 2, 3, and 4.
The same sequence of steps applies to any configura-
tion you choose to implement; only the storage policy
and capacity allocation vary for different configuration
options.
1. Click the
Configure Box
toolbar button to open the
Basic Configuration Mode.
2. Click the button labeled
To Advanced Mode
to open
the Advanced Configuration Mode.
3. Select the
Delete all volumes
from the toolbar.
4. When prompted to confirm the deletion of the vol-
umes, click
Yes

ImpOrTANT INfO:
Before reconfiguring an
existing LaCie Biggest S2S with a new configura-
tion, back-up the data. Use the Disk Management
utility provided by your OS to delete all Biggest
S2S - except the unallocated, un-initialized disk
that represents the LaCie processor. Once the con-
figuration and partitioning of the new volumes has
taken place, it is safe to restore the backed-up data
to the new configuration. See chapter 4.4.3.
