How to create a block device from sevral hardisks ?


Hello,..

i read today the artical about AOE on debian-administrator and started to wonder how can i create a single block device that could be mount using mount /dev/foo ... for example :
i create 2 files with file systems and one dedicated hard drive .

i wish to create one device that will be using the whole 3 "devices" as it was one single big drive.
