subject: multiple drives

Hello All!
I have a fairly large home system, being two computers connected via peer, 
with about 15 physical drives between the two. I've been trying to use tvfs, 
but I either don't understand it, or it can't do what I want.
The goal: Multiple drives, each with a few k of space free, or more.  I want 
to treat all drives as a single physical disk, so as to not have to 
constantly try to balance the load on each drive.  For example, if drive d 
has a lot of stuff, when a write operation comes that would otherwise fill 
drive d, I'd like the system to put things on drive F.
tvfs seems to have this in mind, but perhaps I have the wrong command line 
parameters.  Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, preferably via 
internet email at the address below.
Here's my startup for tvfs in startup.cmd
tvctl -srwDfpb
tvmount x:
x:
tvlink -rw x:\www f:\www
tvlink -rw x:\cdrive c:\
tvlink -rw x:\ddrive d:\
tvlink -rw x:\edrive e:\
tvlink -rw x:\fdrive f:\
tvlink -rw x:\gdrive g:\
tvlink -rw x:\hdrive h:\
tvlink -rw x:\jdrive j:\
tvlink -rw x:\kdrive k:\
tvlink -rw x:\ldrive l:\
tvlink -rw x:\mdrive m:\
tvlink -rw x:\ndrive n:\
tvlink -rw x:\odrive o:\
tvlink -rw x:\pdrive p:\
Again, any help would sure be appreciated.  End goal here is a drive D, or X 
or whatever, with a LOT of bytes free, so I can set all applications to point 
to drive D or X or whatever.
