The short answer: Yes, it's possible.

The slightly longer answer:

You need to look into "LVM" (or Logical Volume Manager) to do this. The 
following links should help you along with that.

Part 1 of Logical Volume Management by IBM. This is part 1 of a 2 part 
set. (note: there are many white papers on this web site by IBM. Well 
worth looking at!)

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-lvm/?dwzone=linux

Also take a look at:

http://www.sistina.com (they support the LVM code & utilities.

Hope that helps!
