This is more of a theoretical question. The advantage of pooled storage is it makes more efficient use of physical storage versus logical volume model. I was wondering if there is a filesystem technique with symbolic links which can emulate a pooled storage model similar to ZFS. I was thinking of something like in this line, have x amount of physical filesystems: /physical/disk0 /physical/disk1 /physical/disk2 /physical/disk3 Then have a logical filesystem: /pool which would have softlinks (have to be) from /physical/diskX...so, ln -s /physical/disk0 /pool/d0; ln -s /physical/disk1 /pool/d1; ln -s /physical/disk2 /pool/d2; ln -s /physical/disk3 /pool/d3; But I am stuck on how to glue together these 4 logical links into one. Is there a "meta data" technique I am not aware of? ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
