System is installed on first SSD on a partion of 60GB, remaining space is another partiton of 50GB
I have successfully created a L2 storage on this second partition

But i'm trying also to create a second L2 Storage on the second SSD.
This one has a ntfs partition and is accessible thrue explorer but when I try to create the L2 storage, i get the error message

You can find the video demonstrating the bug here:

I saw there were two volumes named as "local disk" under the second SSD and the HDD. I'd like to know how your second SSD and HDD physically connected the computer. SAS? SATA? or RAID?

Finally found the trick,

it appear that this disk was in GPT.
I have converting it to MBR and then I have been able to create L2 Storage

Don't know if it's a bug or an enchancement for futur release....

Sorry I didn't notice it was a GPT-based disk from the video. Yes, so far L2 storage only supports MBR-based basic disks. We may support GPT-based basic disks in future.
