Dynamic Disk and Linux Data Loss

As most of us know, basic disk is a storage tool that commonly used on computers. Does anyone know dynamic disk which was first introduced with Windows 2000. Compared with the basic disk, dynamic disk offers greater flexibility for volume management, because they use a database to track information about dynamic volumes on the disk and about other dynamic disk in the computer. Besides, it provides us some abilities that basic disk can not do, such as creating volumes that span multiple disks. Both dynamic disk and basic disk can use the master boot record or GUID partition table scheme.
