## Data Object Description

A BlockRange data object type describes a contiguous set of blocks on a disk. A BlockRange may describe either a partition or unpartitioned (primordial) blocks on the disk.

Properties

end | HostDiskDimensionsLba | The end block address of the disk range. The block numbers start from zero. The range is inclusive of the end address.
partition* | xsd:int | Partition number. This number is a hint from the server indicating what the partition number for this block range is if the range corresponds to a partition. The partition number should correlate to the one in the partition specification. If sent back to the server, this property is ignored.
