== General information ==
<div>This section displays partitioned disks only. '''Please note that only NVMe disks can be partitioned.'''</div><div>NVMe disks available in the "Unassigned disks" section can be partitioned. Once divided, these partitions can be used as devices in the following non-data groups:
*Write log
*Read cache
*Special devices groups
*Deduplication data groups
</div><br/><div>When working with partitions, keep the following rules in mind:
#Partitions can only be used in the following non-data groups: write log, read cache, special devices group, and deduplication group.
#Only one partition per disk can be assigned to a single non-data group.
#In a non-shared cluster configuration, partitions used in a non-data group must originate from local and remote disks.
</div><br/>
== Creating partitions ==
<div>Disks suitable for partitioning activate the "Make partitions (non-data group only)" option in the context menu.</div><div>'''Important:''' All the partitions on a given disk must be created at once. It is not possible to edit or add partitions afterward.</div><div>To create partitions:
#Navigate to the "Unassigned disks" card in the Storage section. It's located at the bottom of the page, under zpools.
#Select an NVMe disk that you wish to partition.
#Click the options icon, then choose "Make partitions (non-data group only)".
#A popup window with the following options will appear:
#*'''Total disk size:''' indicates the overall capacity of the disk to be partitioned.
#*'''Remaining disk capacity left to use:''' displays the capacity remaining after adding a partition. This assists in partitioning without manual calculations, showing available capacity.
#*'''Defined partitions:''' presented as a percentage of the disk capacity covered by the added partitions.
#*'''"Add partition" button:''' used to add a partition.
#Click the "Add partition" button and complete the brief form, providing the following information:
#*'''Partition's name suffix:''' this should be a number. By default, it begins from 1 but can be modified.
#:The partition name structure includes the following: a disk name + p + partition number (suffix), e.g., nvme1p1
#*'''Partition size:''' expressed in MB, GB, or TB. Sizes can be expressed in integers or decimals. The unit can be selected from the adjacent dropdown menu.<div>'''Note!''' <span style="color:#ff0000">All the partitions on a given disk must be created at once. It is not possible to edit or add partitions afterward.</span></div>
#After specifying partition sizes, click "Apply" to confirm and finalize the partition creation.
</div><br/><div>All created partitions are listed in the "Non-data group disks" section. Unassigned partitions are also visible in the "Unassigned disks" section. They can be used as devices in any non-data group.</div><br/>
== Deleting partitions ==
<div>'''Important:''' Deleting all partitions at once is the only option. Partitions allocated to non-data groups cannot be deleted. If any partition is assigned, the option to delete is disabled. To enable it, all partitions must be unassigned.</div><div>This action is irreversible. After partitions are deleted, the disk returns to the "Unassigned disks" group.</div><div>To delete partitions:
#Go to the "Non-data group disks" section.
#Select the disk whose partitions you want to delete. Click the "Delete all partitions" option in the context menu.
#A confirmation popup will appear. Confirm the action, and all partitions on the disk will be permanently deleted.
