This is correct, whenever you create a volume
the 1st raid group by default is named Raid Group 0,
and if the vol is sufficiently large to need a
second Raid Group, it will be called RG1, etc.

Oops: just reread your subject field, and I see what you are confused
about now...
The "raid group 0" in each volumes are separate raid groups: it's
just a naming convention. They each have their own parity disc, as
'sysconfig -r" will tel you. Raid groups are never shared between
volumes.
In ONTAP 6.2, "sysconfig -r" gives names to the raid groups like
"/vol0/plex0/rg0" and "/vol1/plex0/rg0", making it more obvious
that they are distinct entities.
