Top 15 Multi-HDD [FUSE] filesystem Alternative and Similar Softwares | Nov 2024

While writing files they are written to a first HDD until the HDD has the free space (see mlimit option), then they are written on
a second HDD, then to a third HDD, etc.

df will show a total statistics of all filesystems like there is a big one HDD.

If an overflow arises while writing to the HDD1 then a file content already written will be transferred to a HDD containing enough of free space for a file. The transferring is processed on-the-fly, fully transparent for the application that is writing. So this behaviour simulates a big file system.
