Hi Miao,

would you care to expand a bit on that. In Helmut's case above
where all the drives have at least 1.2TB free, how would there
be un-allocatable space?

What's the implication of having disks of differing sizes? Does
that mean that the extra space on larger disks is lost?

Thanks,
Stephane
