Nope. It lets you create a logical volume which consists of space located on several physical volumes.

A Spanned volume utilizes space from one or more physical disks to create a logical volume spread across multiple disks.
A spanned volume allows you to utilize leftover space from physical disks so that you can create a large logical disk volume so that all the disk space is utilized. As jeff as already mentioned the spanned volume is not fault tolerant and there can be a data loss if any of the physical disk fails.
I think the question has been dealt with already.
