I think there is a small chance I have asked this before, as I have been thinking about it off and on for a while now, but is it possible to convince an OS that two HDDs are in fact one big one? If it is possible, what would the pros and cons be?

I am asking now as it has come up again due to me htpc [running ubuntu] has one drive that is nearly full and the other one is only partially used. I am using XBMC to watch and listen to things and I can easily add another source but that only works well in library mode. When not in library mode you have to navigate folders and having two folders for movies would be a pain when trying to locate things.

Alternatively, I might try in putting some of my movie folders on the other drive but link to them from the previous place and see if XBMC is happy with that. I know some programs are happy to accept a short cut as a folder...
