 Suggested by badon on IRC:

 > Tahoe needs a slick method to aggregate drives on a single machine. Call
 it Tahoe drive spanning, or something like that. Then I can use all my
 obsolete drives again. They're otherwise too small to be useful, but
 together with Tahoe's fault tolerance, it could make RAID storage look
 restrictive. RAID has to have all the same size drives, or it'll waste the
 capacity of all but the smallest drive.
