I wouldn't think mounting two partitions independently on one mount point
would work.  Only the highest mount (the most recent) would get anything.
The one under it would just be supporting the mount.  If you wanted two
partitions to have the same information, I think you'd have to have a RAID
mirror.

I believe there is also a form of RAID which merely appends one partition
to the other.  Also, the Logical Volume Manager (which I've never used,
only looked at the description in the kernel config) may be of use for
something like that.  I believe EVMS is a successor to LVM.
