hmm, i have a lot of huge files on different hard drives and wish to access them in a uniform fashion. i would like to sort ALL files in subdirectories but have no need for an LVM, RAID or similar. for example:
/mnt/drive1/category1 /mnt/drive1/category2 /mnt/drive2/category1 /mnt/drive2/category2
(the data is so huge, that it is not possible to always merge categories on a single disk!) what i would like to do now is to be able to display all files of "cat1" and "cat2" respectively in "/mnt/union/category1" and "/mnt/union/category2". yet i don't wish to simply link the directories as this would complicate access with growing number of hard drives the data is spread on!
it's a bit weird to explain, i hope it's understandable now :-)))
