No... there is a way to make 2 partitions look like a single volume, not
doing anything redundant or faster.  Windows can do something like it too.

Okay, from the RAID-Software HOWTO: 

"RAID-linear is a simple concatenation of partitions to create a larger
virtual partition. It is handy if you have a number small drives, and wish
to create a single, large partition. This concatenation offers no
redundancy, and in fact decreases the overall reliability: if any one disk
fails, the combined partition will fail."
