I am looking forward a solution so i can combine multiple harddrives and access them as one drive/mount. Of course something like RAID 0 or LVM would solve this requirement, but I don’t want to loose all the data of all drives in case one drive fails, only the data of the failed drive. But since both variants use striping both ways don’t work, i guess? Also I want to be able to extend the „virtual“ drive later and I don’t want to loose space for redundancy, since I can get all the files again.

Perhaps someone has an idea? Is there anything like a filesystem or mechanism that merges the drives on the fly?
