## Linux
There are two main ways to pool drives in Linux that are favorable to using SnapRAID. The first is AUFS (Another Unified File System) and the second and probably better choice is mhddfs (Multi Hard Disk Device File System). Both are FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) which typically means slower. However, as computers get faster and faster, the limitations with FUSE have gone away. The idea is that the file system interacts with the users pace layer, then the hardware layer and then from the hardware into the user space layer, adding a step both ways on each operation causing a massive slow down. Again, on decent hardware such as a Xeon E3-1220V3 with 8+ GB of ECC ram, this isn't going to bottleneck the process. Now if you are using this on a Raspery Pi, then you've made a poor choice in your NAS (Network Attached System).
