Maybe we should evaluate the possiblility of such a "one file gets on
one disk" feature.
Helmut Hullen has the use case: Many disks, totally non-critical but
nice-to-have data. If one disk dies, some *files* should lost, not some
*random parts of all files*.
This could be accomplished by some userspace-tool that moves stuff
around, combined with "file pinning"-support, that lets the user make
sure a specific file is on a specific disk.
Cheers
Kaspar
