Yes, you can do this with Logical Volume Management. Start by reading "man
lvm" You better have good back ups. If one of the drives fails you likely will
lose all the data in /root because it will be distributed across the drives.
The upside is that you can continue to add drives to your system with LVM. I
believe you have to start with LVM in your file system. I don't think you can
add it if you're not already using it.
Someone will likely correct me if I got some facts wrong.
