Can you just give us some more information about the setup ?
As far as i understood you have 2 drives With some partitions of them of which
you want to join to partitions into one visible share you told that you have
lvs running on it, you can use samba to share it with windows or use windows
nfs client to get access than lvm setup should be transparent for windows.
Probably I get it wrong in the first place but how you are accessing these
drives from windows and linux environment?
