When this feature is enabled, any unit that is over 2TB will be broken down into multiple volumes with 2TB each, plus a remainder volume. For example, if the unit is 2.5 TB then it will contain two volumes, with the first volume containing 2TB and the second volume containing 0.5 TB. If the unit is 5.0 TB then it will contain 3 volumes, with the first two volumes containing 2TB each and the last volume containing 1TB. This auto-carving feature is sometimes referred to as multi-LUN, where each volume that is created is referred to as a "LUN."

This means that any drives you leave unconfigured are not seen by the operating system, and cannot be used for storage. When Export JBOD Disks is set to No, you make individual disks available for use by configuring them as Single Disks. If you want unconfigured disks to be available on your computer, you can change this setting. www.3ware.com 77
