I have a media server with many drives. I use FlexRaid pooling only (as read only & not their "raid" service) as i found it to be neater & easier than drivepool or drivebender. (these 2 create a folder under which you store your stuff on the physical drive... FlexRaid pooling just pools all folders on the root of your drives... so if all your drives have a Movie folder with various movies under it, when you look at your pooled drive the folder 'movies' will show all the movies on the various drives). There is a small fee but i thought it worth it. Anyways, this makes the setup in XBMC easy, also if you move a movie from one drive to another but it remains in the 'movies' folder, xbmc will not need to rescan, since the file path did not change.
