Not without using a volume manager like CCD or Vinum.

Yes, you can.

Sorry, let me specify exactly (my English is far from being perfect): is
it right that Adaptec 3210 allows to build arrays that span over both
channels of the controller, but Mylex 352 does not allow to do this, i.e.
it is unavoidable to have two arrays on 2-channel controller?

Thanks a lot,
Alex
