Hi there,
On Linux, you can use LVM (Logical Volume Manager) to do what you want.

I use LVM for a slightly different reason (So I can allocate disk space
as needed for different filesystems on the fly), but you can use it for
RAID like things, but it is more flexible (Esp with XFS filesystem).

I believe there is a similar (Even the same..) project for BSD, and of
course it is inspired by stuff that commercial unix systems have had for
a while.
