From my experience, the +'s mean that when the system was
configured, those partitions were set to expand to fill the disk should
there be any room left... I have one partition set on my servers to
expand, I'm not sure what the details are on the expansion... (wether it
only expands as needed or just when there is extra space, it automatically
claims it.. ) Hope this helps.
