Bonjour à tous,
J'ai deux problèmes à vous soumettre, rencontrés dans la traduction de
EVMS (Enterprise Volume Management System) User Guide
1er problème :
Comment traduire "drive link"? "lien de disque"??
Contexte :
**********************************************************************
This chapter discusses the EVMS DRIVE LINKING feature, which is
implemented by the DRIVE LINK plug−in, and tells how to create, expand,
shrink, and delete a DRIVE LINK.
DRIVE LINKING linearly concatenates objects, allowing you to create
larger storage objects and volumes from smaller individual pieces. For
example, say you need a 1 GB volume but do not have contiguous space
available of that length. DRIVE LINKING lets you link two or more
objects together to form the 1 GB volume.

2ème problème
Est-ce que cela a un sens de traduire "slices" par "tranches" ici? Et
comment traduire "slice table" et "disk slice"?

BSD segment manager
BSD refers to the Berkeley Software Distribution UNIX® operating system.
The EVMS BSD segment manager is responsible for recognizing and
producing EVMS segment storage objects that map BSD partitions. A BSD
disk may have a SLICE table in the very first sector on the disk for
compatibility purposes with other operating systems. For example, a DOS
slice table might be found in the usual MBR sector. The BSD disk would
then be found within a disk SLICE that is located using the
compatibility SLICE table. However, BSD has no need for the SLICE table
and can fully dedicate the disk to itself by placing the disk label in
the very first sector. This is called a "fully dedicated disk" because
BSD uses the entire disk and does not provide a compatibility SLICE
table. The BSD segment manager recognizes such "fully dedicated disks"
and provides mappings for the BSD partitions.
DOS Segment Manager
The most commonly used segment manager is the DOS Segment Manager. This
plug-in provides support for traditional DOS disk partitioning. The DOS
Segment Manager also recognizes and supports the following variations of
the DOS partitioning scheme:
OS/2: an OS/2 disk has additional metadata sectors that contain
information needed to reconstruct disk segments.
Embedded partitions: support for BSD, SolarisX86, and UnixWare is
sometimes found embedded in primary DOS partitions. The DOS Segment
Manager recognizes and supports these SLICES as disk segments.
