I think the GlusterFS example proved that distributed file systems generate significant interest in the user community. GlusterFS used low-level FUSE APIs to implement its mountability (and gain its well known performance). Without a native mounting - the file system cannot really be a called a file system but rather a proprietary API based on file/block access.
