you can concatenate any number of disks with linear, the problem lies
in extending the filesystem on them.
options are:
formatting
buying some product from PowerQuest and obtaining the resize2fs tool
if i remember correctly ext2-volume was a patch Miguel de Icaza wrote
a long ago and it was not definitely intended for the faint of
heart, really if you don't know what ext2fs.h it is better
you leave that patch alone.
there is a rumor that someone is being paid by RedHat to develop
a volume manager for linux, but i dun know nothing about this,
