Yes, but the RAID system is exactly like this too.

Frankly, loopback devices aren't hard to configure at all, compared to the
RAID stuff. Of course, the mount command could be modified to be smarter
and automagically setup loopback stuff. Or even a mount wrapper.

Having an imperfect system in this case would probably be better than none
at all?
