Ok, I see that, but what about the lvm manpage? I was incorrect in
stating lvcreate. My apologies. Do a man on lvm and this is what you get.
Now reading this, it just tells me that to create a disk group or pool, it
"concatenates" these disks. Not at the logical level however, but rather
to create a "pool" or "group". I think concatenate here is a bad word to
use. But, here's what it says.

DESCRIPTION
       lvm is a logical volume manager for Linux.  It enables you
       to concatenate several physical volumes (hard disks  etc.)
       into  a  so  called  volume group (VG, see pvcreate(8) and
       vgcreate(8) ) forming a storage pool, like a virtual disk.
       ...

Seems a bit odd here if I want to create a striped set, it seems that you
must create several "groups" of single disks and then when using lvcreate
stripe those "Groups". Thoughts?
