Shouldn’t the answer be A and D? Spanned volumes do not provide fault tolerance.

Anthony: You are correct. A spanned volume consists of 2 to 32 dynamic disks are are NOT fault tolerant.

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).

Answer: A and D
A spanned volume is a dynamic volume consisting of disk space on more than one physical disk. 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.
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.
Spanned volumes are not fault tolerant.
