Description
This FUSE-based file system allows mount points (or directories) to be combined, simulating a single big volume which can merge several hard drives or remote file systems. It is like unionfs, but can choose the drive with the most free space to create new files on, and can move data transparently between drives.

My experience with mhddfs
Well apart from the cryptic name and lack of development, this package works as specified.
This is a very useful utility!
I can have 3 drives with movies on them in various folders, and combine all my movie folders into on big "drive" that shows up as normal with all the folders combined, and when I copy into it, it stores the file on the most empty drive..
Performance is a bit slow but it's a FUSE based filesystem, so whatever
The main thing is it works, and it's painless, I have mine setup in my fstab file so it's spawned when I start up.
And I can share it on SAMBA which is handy...
Very cool package.
Tested on Ubuntu Hardy i386 (v8.04.1)
I joined 3 NTFS folders together into one big folder.
One small downside is the disk usage analyzer doesn't know about it so it appears I have twice the disk capacity / usage... but I'm not complaining, it works great.
