6.2. Big (Concatenation)

In Big mode, the two physical disks are combined
(concatenation) so that one single yet larger logical vol-
ume mounts on the desktop, offering maximum possible
capacity (the available capacities of each disk are cumu-
lated). If one physical disk fails, the data of both disks
become inaccessible.
