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.

In the manual it seems to say you can't do this. Will this cause any problems?

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.
