Can you leverage your OS to re-assemble the two LUNs into one 4 TB device?

Solaris - SVM/DiskSuite or ZFS
Windows - Dynamic Disk
Linux   - LVM volume

Subject: Spanning savesets across multiple AFTD devices

I thought for sure I heard that NW 7.6.2 could do this. I have storage 
nodes that have AFTD devices. And due to some SAN re-configuration, these 
devices will go from being larger than 2TB to being limited to 2TB (it's 
complicated). 

Anyway, what I need to do is then present 2 of these 2TB devices to my 
snode, and have it so that when the first one fills up, it will 
automatically "spill over" and start to use the next one. In effect, I 
need the savesets to span across multiple AFTD devices. I don't want to 
use both at once; I want it to keep writing to AFTD device #1 until it 
runs out of space, then automatically continue writing to AFTD device #2. 
(I'm not looking to "load balance" or write to both AFTD devices at the 
same time) 

But I am unsure how to accomplish that, and my searching skills are 
failing me this morning. 

I've found messages stating that you can (or "will be able to"; it's an 
old posting).

Can anyone help? Pointers, links, etc?
