Linux already has MD which does RAID 0 (= device spanning) just fine for
all filesystems who want it. Now the big problem is to allow
shrinking/increasing such bundles without recreating the file system -
only the file system itself knows enough about its structure to offer
this service, no generic layer can provide that.
