No, but it seems like a *really* bad idea -- the concept of slow, off-box,
redundant storage isn't a really good fit with the concepts of pooling and
linking.

Since it's fuse-based, there's the possibility it doesn't support
hard-linking at all, which would make it completely unfeasible.  (I don't
know, it's not obvious what it supports from the documentation.)
