It supports three types of *sfotware* volume spanning:
1) Simple spanning (it get's its name, concatenated
disk driver, from this).
2) Striping. Rod Grimes was even using it with spindle
sync, assuming SCSI disks that support it (IDE: never
had it, never will).
3) Mirroring. I believe ASAMI added this.
