  sorry, i'm not sure what's going on up there.  first, are you saying
that when you installed, you picked both drives as installable devices
and you just went with with what the installer chose for the first
(SSD) drive?

  and i'm assuming that you used your entire 2nd drive for the "02"
volume group, is that it?
