The reason I truely like this idea is it takes a lot of complexity out
of the picture. No longer do you need LVM, Raid, or even need to have

Wrong. Raid is to keep things available even if a disk fails. I will
likely be one of the first to use this functionality, yet all
directories will be Raid based....
My only problem with Linux RAID is that most of the tools lack the
ability to grow a raid set by adding another disk (at least for RAID 5
configurations). This really limits it's usability for me because I
don't want to have to expand 3 disks at a time.
Most of my RAID is HW controller based. Even so, i have not yet dared to
expand a RAID conf. Losing data is easy, recovering a lot more
difficult... (i do not have the space to backup a 3/4Tb of recordings).
