If I'm not wrong, MOUNT/BIND does not work if more than one disk contains
files. In other words, when you bind a number of disks, you'll see only files
located in the first one. Bind was conceived when physical disks were so small
that some applications space needs exceeded single-disk capacities available.

HELP MOUNT /BIND says:

| Note that if you attempt to create a volume set from two or more
| volumes that already contain files and data, the file system does
| not issue an error message when you issue the MOUNT/BIND command.
| However, the volumes are unusable as a volume set because the
