    A partition is a logical subset of an InfoServer read/write disk. A
   single disk can be subdivided into several partitions, each of which can
   be served to the network independently. To remote client systems, these
   partitions appear to be whole disks. For example, a client system using
   InfoServer Client for OpenVMS software can access the partitions and use
   them as though they are local hard disks. 

Back when I was a lad and had little money, I had the following setup: 
borrowed InfoServer with (by today's standards) ridiculously expensive 
RZ29 (4 GB!) disk which was split into 4 partitions of 1 GB each.  I had 
two of these in a volume set as my main user disk.  :-|
