I typed some of that wrong. It shows up as two devices, /dev/sdc and
/dev/sdd, and each has its own single partition, /dev/sdc1 and
/dev/sdd1, respectively.

I don't see how to use those tools to merge the two devices together,
since they work on only one device at a time.
It may be that what I'm asking for is impossible --- is that the case?
