You could achieve something like that by using unionfs and having separate
file-systems on each disc that you union.  I still find unionfs exported
via NFS buggy, but it is getting regular development.  For local
file-systems, it seems to work fine.

If you want native file-systems that work that way, you're going to have to
provide patches.  It will be non-trivial.

Thanks,
Sean
