Yes.

What's the GeoServer best practice for storing a raster set that covers a
continent, which is made up of individual GeoTIFF files? As an example,
consider the National Elevation Dataset (NED) for the US. A GeoTIFF file
(about 100 MB) represents 15x15 minute, with about 500 files that cover the
US. My hope was to mosaic the 500 files into one layer.
