I'm wondering if anyone knows if this is possible...<br>
<br>
Take multiple remote filesystems such as NFS, gmailfs, Samba, sshfs,
and layer a filesystem over the top to create one namespace.&nbsp;
Ideally it would provide some fault tolerance/redundancy and improved
performance by using the concept of RAID over the multiple connections.<br>
<br>
In reality, this new filesystem layer wouldn't care if the filesystems are remote or not.&nbsp; You could have...<br>
<br>
/mynfsmount<br>
/mygmailfsmount<br>
/myothergmailfsmount<br>
/mysshfsmount<br>
<br>
...and then a new mount point of...<br>
<br>
/myreallycoolmount<br>
<br>
...and when you put files here, they're striped/mirrored over all the previous mounts.<br>
<br>
Is this currently possible?&nbsp; If not, then perhaps I'll see if I
can make it happen in my minuscule free time.&nbsp; I know there are a
ton of potential problems with this, but it'd be a fun project
nonetheless.<br>
Thanks,<br>
