Why do you think that your solution is better than LVM or RAID technologies?

I think that using mount options in your solution is weird way. Let's imagine a file that it will include a hundreds parts.

Moreover, I think that in your approach the using of remount option is very necessary. It needs for adding file's parts and change mounted parts.

With the best regards,
