mhddfs!

/dev/sdb1 40G 35G 5G 88% /mnt/hdd2 /dev/sdc1 60G 10G 50G 17% /mnt/hdd3 After you have installed the `mhddfs` package using your favourite package manager, you can create a new mount point, let's call it `/mnt/virtual`, which will join all these drives together for you. The beauty of FUSE means you don't really have to be `root` for this (can be just a member of the `fuse` group, but for the sake of examples' simplicity, let's suppose we are logged in as `root` here. # mkdir /mnt/virtual

  • PoolHD

  • PoolHD is a disk pooling application that focuses on integration, speed and ease of use. Take two or more hard drives and create a storage drive that can be expanded seamlessly by simply adding more drives. PoolHD uses NTFS and does not interfere with a drives existing files system, meaning you can use drives for both pooled, and non-pooled use.
