Multiple Partition rollover on single NTFS volume

Question

I have 2TB LUN created for one of the Enterprise Vault server.&nbsp; It is configured to use NTFS volume (G:\).&nbsp; I created 8 ‘250GB’ vault store partition.

G:\Enterprise Vault Stores\VSMailbox Ptn1
	G:\Enterprise Vault Stores\VSMailbox Ptn2
	....
	....
	....
	G:\Enterprise Vault Store\VSMailbox Ptn8&nbsp;

I’m trying to figure out how to configure Rollover based on 8 vault store partitions that I had created.&nbsp; I don’t want to create 8 LUN and assigned different drives for each LUNs.&nbsp; I figure that I should be able to use 2TB LUN on the server.
Since the Rollover is based on volume or time, I guess my only option is to use volume for rollover.&nbsp; My thought was to configure rollover based on “When volume reaches xxx GB free”.

Pnt1 (250GB)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When volume reaches 1750 GB free
	Pnt2 (250GB)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When volume reaches 1500 GB free
	Pnt3 (250GB)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When volumes reach 1250 GB free
	Pnt4 (250GB)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When volumes reach 1000 GB free
	Pnt5 (250GB)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When volumes reach 750 GB free
	Pnt6 (250GB)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When volumes reach 500 GB free
	Pnt7 (250GB)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When volumes reach 250 GB free
	Pnt8 (250GB)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

When I tried to configure the rollover, I get a warning message
“A partition on this volume is already configured for volume-based rollover.&nbsp; We recommend that you do not configure volume-based rollover for more than one partition on a volume, unless you are using volume mount points.&nbsp; Are you sure want to continue?”
Would this approach work and safe to ignore the warning message?
