Not a good idea, in my view. Putting an LVM volume over multiple disks with no 
LVM
mirroring involved means that if any of your 12 disks fails, you lose the 
contents
of the entire array. Keep them separate and you only lose the disk that failed 
and
the other 11 continue to work fine.

One "bug" partition could well be an aposite typo :-)
