I don't know, but unionfs could be an option here...

AFAIK, unionfs doesn't span multiple computer. And even if it did, I would be reluctant to do any writing to that filesystem. To avoid data loss and keep things clean, I would mount all the drives in one box, use LVM, and then share the ONE filesystem with all that needed it. Because I came from the FreeBSD world and already had a server running this OS, my shares are on that box and I'm using an equivalent to LVM. Because I also have Windows at home, I share using smbfs. When I ran out of room to mount drives in the physical case, I opted for firewire (which at that time was much better than USB) and started adding external firewire enclosures to house my IDE drives. This is how I'm doing things now and it works great!

Cheers,

Drew

    I have 2 computers with a total of 3 sharepoints.  So I have 3
    directories in my MYTHVIDEO directory each pointing to a
    sharepoint.  Inside each sharepoint are directories of different
    shows I have stored.  It would be nice to have one big list to
    scroll through of all those show directories.  Is there a way to
    have a directory of LINKS to the directories so that in myth it
    would just be one large list instead of several mounted sharepoint
    directories?  I hope this makes sense.   Thanks!

    Jim
