I think there are "tutorials" on how to write storage backends for
mysql. Mysql (maybe only for myisam tables) has a table option called
"RAID=..." that can divide tables into a number of directories (I think)
which then can be put on different devices. My unqualified guess is that
the easiest way demonstrate how BLOB can be stored seperatly from the
other data is to tweak the myisam storage module to store all blob
columns in a separate directory.
