Well, maybe I should express what I am looking for, in hopes someone can
suggest an alternative.

- join multiple pre-formated (with the FS of my choosing) partitions on the same machine (on different sized drives) into one large accessible space. - If one drive dies, only the data on that drive is lost. All other data
remains.
- If I pull one drive/parttion out, it should be accessible like a regular
partition on another system. (this means that the original FS is not
modified, and remains accessible when the drive is removed)

I know there's JBOD. What I 'm looking for is kinda like that, but not
exactly.


mkdir -p /place/a /place/b
mount /dev/deva /place/a
mount dev/edevb /place/b


You can use any sort of native filesystem that your OS will support... All data in one contigous space. Loose a drive; loose only one directory tree... Pull the drive out and mount it on some other system elsewhere... What else are you missing?
