That's the thing. Not only will the added space not be striped, you
_can't_ add space to the current strip. Regardless of the consequences.
Not a huge deal, but I'll be dealing with terabytes of storage, and I'll
have to pre-allocate that info, how many disks per vg and how many
stripes/vg, before jumping in.
