FWIW, i would very much like this. Indeed, this is the one thing keeping me off of DrivePool. I would happily move to drivepool and even pay extra for such a feature.
My use case is similar to Phidaissi's. I often download torrents, but then use hardlinks to 'virtually move' them to a new location with a different name. In my scenario, both the torrent location and the final destination location would be in the same pool. So this constraint would be satisfied:

Right now i'm using storage spaces, and the experience is pretty abysmal. Performance is terrible (using a parity setup) and I'd really like to move to some alternate tech. DrivePool+Snapraid looks great and has awesome perf when i've tested it. However, the lack of hardlinks makes it a non-starter as i simply cannot have my folder setup properly like i can with Storage Spaces (which does support hard links).
Thanks so much!
