    Quando li a questão também respondi da mesma forma que vocês, volume estendido não tem tolerância a falhas. Ainda bem que existe essa parte de comentários. Obrigao Anthony e Bob. Bons estudos.

      You are correct.

      A spanned VOLUME is a DYNAMIC VOLUME consisting of disk space on more than one PHYSICAL disks.

      If a simple VOLUME is not a system VOLUME or boot VOLUME, you can extend it across additional disks to create a spanned VOLUME, or you can create a spanned VOLUME in unallocated space on a DYNAMIC disk. (remember that ALL disks must be or will be converted DYNAMIC)

      You need at least two DYNAMIC disks in addition to the startup disk to create a spanned VOLUME. You can extend a spanned VOLUME onto a maximum of 32 DYNAMIC disks.

      A SPANNED VOLUME is NOT fault tolerant.

      Think of the fact that the OS must be started BEFORE you can read a spanned or striped disk, it is a SW solution WITHIN Windows. So the storage services must be running, before you will be able to use a spanned/striped VOLUMEs.

      If we were talking about a HW solution, all would be very different.

      Spoken about HW; PARTITION(ing) is always about ONE and same PHYSICAL disk.

      A VOLUME is a SW storage space on top of HW storage space(s).
