NAS/file aggregation/virtualization

I have half a dozen DNS-323 NAS units in my home network. They're all connected to the same 8-port gigabit unmanaged (dumb) switch.

I would like to see them as a single file system in XP Pro, i.e. one drive letter with each NAS as a folder under root.  I believe this is known as NAS/file aggregation/virtualization.

What are my options for doing that (preferably software only). Thanks!

Re: NAS/file aggregation/virtualization

There's glusterfs in ffp. I don't know it myself, bu the homepage says "It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network file system." You might want to have a closer look at the docs. http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0. … #glusterfs

Re: NAS/file aggregation/virtualization

Thanks Fonz for your input!  Here's a thread I've started about NAS aggregation on the Anandtech forums:
