Under Linux / AIX, You can define a logical volume that spans multiple physical volumes. And different mount points can point to different physical drives. But reading from the root / it all looks like one logical drive.
Windows has different drive letters for each drive or hard drive partition or usb / CD / DVD drive. And you can have a link where a file name points to another file name. Neither Windows or Linux have a Catalog concept to find a dataset on any of 64,000 or so disk drives (I have 2400 at work).
