Yes, that kind of thing was what I meant by spanning (not sure if it's
meant to be the term, or just how it's been described in the past).

I have wondered, that if you're already doing RAID, can it provide the
same ability?  I'm guessing that if you wanted to increase the size of a
RAID, it probably entails adding more than one drive at a time.

Always seems to be the case...
