Bill,

Reading a couple of LVM docs I see that I need to run mkfs.ext4 on disks
/dev/sde/ and /dev/sdf/ to put the filesystem on them.

I'm not seeing how to determine if all four drives are in the same volume
group (VG) or in separate logical volumns (LV); I suspect the latter since
fdisk -l shows four separate devices.
