Erm, this sounds confused to me.  Are p1, p2 and p3 physical volumes or
volume groups?  You don't seem to be clear about the difference.  I'm
guessing that you mean volume groups, looking at the description of p3.
But it doesn't make much sense even if they are volume groups;  why
didn't you just create a bunch of PVs and make one single VG from them?
