LTFS is ok, a multilevel tar file with a file list followed by an FEC encoded block store would be easier and more portable.

It has been 8+ years since I played with LTFS, so maybe it has improved.

LTFS as of today is supported in FUSE, which realistically means it works on every OS that matters.
