The whole point of the exercise is to end up with multiple block devices
on a single system so that I can combine them into one VG using LVM, and
then build a single file system that covers the lot. On a budget, of
course.

Yes, I hear what you are saying. However, I have investigated MooseFS and
GlusterFS using the same resources, and my experimental iscsi-based setup
gives a file system that is *much* faster than either in practical use,
latency notwithstanding.
