Do you mean adding something like "This is file is a part of the Unsorted Block Images (UBI) subsystem" to the header of each file? > Neat stuff!

And it indeed has no connection to LVM, I just used the analogy to quickly provide the idea what is this about. -- Best regards, Artem Bityutskiy (Битюцкий Артём)
