I briefly looked at something like it for a raft of "smaller" older drives...
what was it.. mergefs... gave me no end of grief.  However it wasn't really
the smartest tool in the shed for it just the easiest to set up at the time.

Most of these things use FUSE to run another virtual front end over the ext
subsystem.  So the underlying volumes tend to be stable, but the FUSE
interface can be a bit hairy.  BTRFS is more recent and I believe more
stable.
