That's pretty much the first of the two options I suggestion earlier:

The difference it cost. The first option requires changes in the HAL 
specification (to remove one fs per block device assumption), HAL code 
and gnome-volume-manager code. A few weeks of work. The second option is 
  about 10 lines of code in HAL.
