Spanning
In a Spanning array, the disk array capacity is equal to the sum of all drives, even if
the drives are of different capacities. Spanning stores data onto a drive until it is
completely filled, then proceeds to store data on to the next drive in the array.
There are no performance or fault tolerance array features in this type of array.
When a disk member fails, the entire array is offline.
