We have DELL R910 with H800 adapter in it.  several MD1220 connect to H800.

Since MD1220 have 24 hard disks in it.  When I configured RAID10, there is a choice call 'single spanned virtual disk"  (22 disks).

Can anyone tell me how "single spanned virtual disk" work?

Any document relate to it?

Thanks.
