Alternative 1:
- use RAID 0 (md, stock kernel), in any of the modes. In your
application, presumably linear mode is better. create a
fs from the resulting /dev/mdX device.
Alternative 2:
- use LVM, create a volume group with all the disks, and
then create as many logical volumes as you want, possibly
one, and create a fs.
Alternative 3:
- if you software uses many files, load-balance the files
manually with soft-links or with mounts.
