Hm, not quite what I'm after and not nearly as easy as ZFS...

"Problem" with your approach: The admin has to maintain this. 
I was looking for something, which "maints itself", so to say.
And your approach also wouldn't scale if there are sub-subvolumes.

ZFS really is so much easier (at least regarding that).

Thanks a lot, though. It's a worthwhile idea.
