Why each option
An NSS Storage Pool is the component that aggregates raw space from one or more physical storage devices or partitions into a single logical pool from which volumes are provisioned.
A partition is a subdivision of a physical disk and refers to a single device segment, not an aggregation across multiple storage devices.
A storage pool in NSS abstracts physical storage - it can span multiple devices or partitions and presents a unified block of space. Volumes are then created within this pool and draw their allocations from it, making the pool the component that 'obtains' storage from one or more devices.
A logical volume is allocated space within a storage pool and is not itself the component that obtains storage from physical devices.
A Traditional volume is an older NetWare volume type that is not part of the NSS component hierarchy described.
