AFAIK, unionfs doesn't span multiple computer.  And even if it did, I 
would be reluctant to do any writing to that filesystem.  To avoid data 
loss and keep things clean, I would mount all the drives in one box, use 
LVM, and then share the ONE filesystem with all that needed it. 

Because I came from the FreeBSD world and already had a server running 
this OS, my shares are on that box and I'm using an equivalent to LVM.  
Because I also have Windows at home, I share using smbfs.  When I ran 
out of  room to mount drives in the physical case, I opted for firewire 
(which at that time was much better than USB) and started adding 
external firewire enclosures to house my IDE drives.  This is how I'm 
doing things now and it works great!

Cheers,

Drew
