Hello,
Would it make sense and be possible to spread different index files over
multiple disks (without resorting to putting an index on a RAID)?

were organized by their type in a snallow dir tree, like this:
/path/to/i

I think this is a good idea, for indexes that can't fit in IO cache.
Report back if you get good results :) I think FSD opens up all sorts
of interesting possibilities.
