Divide free space by capacity, or Set remaining space as volume.
NOTE: If there are two or more free spaces in the VDEV, only the Specify capacity and number

method. For example:
• If you selected Specify capacity and number, enter the capacity, either in MB, Cyl, or blocks, in
the Capacity box and the number of custom volumes in the Number box.

box.

• If you selected Set remaining space as volume, go to
step 3d .

sufficient free space for the custom volumes, so for optimum space allocation you should allocate
custom volumes in descending order of capacity.
