Possible to mount multiple external storage to one mount point?
I'm finding that I'm running out of storage space on my dev VPS, I don't really want to upgrade the specs just to get more disk space (as I have more than enough RAM and CPU). So is it possible to mount some of my smaller VPS to this one either via SSHFS or whatever and extend an existing mount point? Say /home.
EDIT: To make it clear, what I mean is my dev has 10GB storage, I want to extend /home to make it 20GB in total.
Thanks for any help.

SSHFS requires FUSE to work, so you'll have to make sure your VPS supports it.
Once that works, you can use MHDDFS to set up a mountpoint that distributes the files written to it between the local disk and the SSHFS mountpoint.
Thanks for the reminder, both boxes are KVM, so I think it should be fine. I'll give it a try and see if it works.
Have a look at glusterfs too
Never thought that there's such a solution. If you are successful, please write some short tutorial for the later comer.
