One of my clients has a server that hosts big public-access type videos.
He started off with a separate 200G drive just for video storage

/videos.
He's just bought another drive, but now I'm thinking of what to do with
it...
I know this is probably impossible, but FreeBSD can do so many
miraculous things, that I can't help asking...
Is it possible to use the second drive to 'expand' the /videos file
system? So it would miraculously look like a single 400G drive?
I ask this, because logically, I"m going to use the second drive the
same way as the first: to store videos. It will be really awkward to
have two mount points, and try to decide which video should get stored
on which drive. And no doubt it will get more complex as we go along. It
would be much simpler if this logical drive could just expand as needed.
Any ideas much appreciated.
Making two devices appear as one:
* vinum;
* gstripe;
* ZFS.
Making two devices look like there's only one:
* union.
