Would like to mount a small rootfs file on E?

Hi Guys,
I am running Pro 1.1 natively on F (stock drive) and what I would like to do is mount a roofs type file on E just for a little bit of extra storage for my web-site.
I would like to make this about a gig in size and then mount it using loopback.
I tried just doing a redirect in the apache config files, something like this
From /extraspace/
To /mnt/fatx/e/extraspace/
Unfortunately apache does not have permission to read from /mnt/fatx/e/extraspace/ so I thought the rootfs thing would be my best bet (could be wrong ).
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also if the rootfs option is the best way to go, some help with this would be great.
Many thanks.
