However, it is possible to mount all of the shares to one location, such that there is one 'data' dir, with the combined contents of each of the three shares? So, all shares are mounted at /mnt/s1, and the contents of the multiple data dirs appears in one single data dir?
The only time I've seen such functionality is within the XBMC media center application. It allows you to mount multiple network shares, but shows them all in one location as a sort of 'overlay' view. Duplicate directories are shown have their contents merged, but remain intact on the actual shares/filesystem.
Does any of this make sense? Is it possible with CentOS (pref. 6) ?
If nothing else, you could create ans script that would create symlinks from all files in those directories into single one. I use that technique to create combined repository directory for mrepo.
I'm already doing this. It "works", but is quite messy. I had hoped there would be an actual filesystem merging function that would do this automagically.
In Microsoft terms that sounds like Distributed file system. I think you can do that under samba...
