I am sure someone else will come to your rescue, but I -THINK- that I remember 
hearing that you could stripe multiple
hard drives togeather and mount one in anothers partition....but I don't 
remember how...I also seem to remember
reading that besides NFS (or whatever it is) files system for linux there were 
at least two others, one by IBM and one
by someone else...(oracle-no doesn't sound right)? So I think what you are 
saying is possible...I encourage you to
keep looking! -hans
